The interest rate is the single most important detail when negotiating a loan. With good credit, banks will more openly compete for a loan. With bad credit, you need to take initiative and negotiate the terms of the agreement by yourself.  Explain any medical bill debt. Many times, lenders are more willing to work with you if your credit score is negatively affected by medical bills. Some lenders even remove medical debt from the equation when calculating your interest rate. Compare multiple quotes. Get a quote from your bank or credit union, and consider getting quotes from other banks and credit unions nearby. There are also many online services that will give you quotes for a home equity loan or line of credit.  Don’t be afraid to turn a lender down. If you don’t like your offer, or you think you can do better, don’t accept it. Patience will help you get a better offer. Make banks compete against each other. Tell your potential lenders that you are shopping around for better rates, as this will provide with some leverage in your negotiation. See which lenders are willing to negotiate the terms of your loan, and which aren't. There are many lenders who will happily take advantage of someone with bad credit and a lack of knowledge. By understanding the terms of the loan, you can properly negotiate your contract and avoid being taken advantage of. Some common details worth negotiating are detailed below.  Interest rate. This is the most important detail to negotiate, and will end up saving you the most money if you are able to get a good offer. Closing costs. The lender is legally obligated to provide you with a Good Faith Estimate of the closing costs. Compare closing costs between your offers and take note of any which seem particularly high. Make sure you plan for closing costs when you are measuring your finances for payments. Making your monthly payments is important, but missing the closing costs can undo all of your diligent work.

Sniffing a candle can actually keep you from eating? Yep. Peppermint, banana, green apple, and vanilla have all been shown to significantly reduce appetite. Weird, huh? If you wanna get serious, stash some candles nearby. That's it! The same goes for strong scented dishes, too. When your food has a strong aroma, you generally take smaller mouthfuls and end up eating less. Garlic-infused tuna, anyone? Not only does chewing gum curb your appetite, but it also works those jaw muscles! So in addition to keeping the calories far away, it burns an extra 11 calories an hour. Hey, the little stuff adds up! By the way, turns out gum can relax you, lower your stress levels, and make you more attentive. Just don't smack it too loudly. Let's drop some science: there's this thing called "learned satiation." That basically means that we know when we're full in our heads and not in our stomachs. What's one massive key in knowing when we're full? When the plate is empty. Use a smaller plate, put less food on it, bam. You're full despite its size.  A small, blue plate is double duty. The color blue is an appetite suppressant. Why most restaurants don't use it in their color scheme! The same general idea goes for eating out of a bag and out of the fridge. When there's no end in sight, your mouth just goes and goes and goes. So be sure to portion out your food! When you see that you're done, your tummy will register it, too. This barely needs explaining. How often do you get left to your own devices and just end up surfing the internet all day, maybe bothering to make yourself a bowl of  Top ramen? And then the friends get back in town and all of a sudden it's chips, pizza, beer, and then a run to Taco Bell. If you want to eat less, eat alone. It's way less fun. A recent Dutch study found that people generally eat at the same time as the people they're with. If the person they're sitting across from is eating, they'll eat too. Sometimes regardless of hunger!

TL;DR in English: Use aromatherapy. Chew gum. Use smaller plates. Eat alone.

To line images in a row, use a level and a pencil to mark where you want to hang each photo. Measure the distance between each mark so that there is an equal amount of space separating each picture. Then, drill holes for your nails or hanging brackets. Try to keep an odd number of images on a wall—the eye is drawn to odd numbers.  A linear arrangement is a good middle-ground between showcasing your photos and not overwhelming your viewer with too many images. If your frames have different hook locations, you’ll have to measure the difference between them with a measuring tape to match the tops of your frames on the wall. If you have a large wall that dominates a room but don’t own any large pictures, place 4-10 smaller images in identical frames in two symmetrical rows directly above one another. This will create the same visual impression as a single large piece, and will allow you to showcase a variety of different photos.  Use a level and painter’s tape to create your 2 rows and make sure that they’re symmetrical. Line your level up so that it’s flat on the wall and use a large piece of tape to create your guiding line. Use identical frames to make your arrangement aesthetically uniform. For a more modern look, hang images vertically and horizontally across your wall without lining your frames up with one another. An asymmetrical arrangement will give visitors the striking impression that they’re in a freely-curated space with a contemporary sensibility. Feel free to play around with the frames; you can use different frames with a salon-style gallery wall, so play around with interesting options. If you have unframed images, you can stack them directly on top and next to one another with no space in between to create a collage. This choice works particularly well with 4 in × 6 in (10 cm × 15 cm) and 5 in × 7 in (13 cm × 18 cm) prints, as the final result will be reminiscent of a photo album or yearbook. This option is an excellent choice if you have a lot of photos and want to showcase all of them without...

TL;DR in English: Line your photos up in a row if you want a traditional look. Place smaller images in a grid pattern to fill in bigger walls. Offset photos of different sizes by putting them all over the wall. Stack photos directly next to one another to create a collage of images. Put bigger photos on larger walls to draw the eye in. Tape pieces of paper to the wall to see how you feel about an arrangement.

Though it may seem like you can save the shoes for last, you ideally want to have them before you start your dress fittings. This is because the hemline of your dress, as well as the train if you have one, are dependent on the height of your shoes. For example, if you are wearing high heels you will want to have some extra room at the bottom of your dress to cover them.  This will also help ensure you aren't tripping over your dress if you don't have enough of a heel. If you don't have shoes before your first fitting, try bringing a pair close to the ones you want - or think you'll want. That way the seamstress has a good idea of how to alter your gown. Don't just buy the first pair of shoes you find. Instead, if you see a style you like, shop around online for a similar pair for a better deal. Wedding shoes can cost anywhere between $20-$150 normally, and you want to make sure you aren't overspending on shoes hardly anyone might see.  Try online shoe stores like Zappos, RetailMeNot, or Walkin on Air. You should also make sure whatever site you use offers refunds in case there is a problem. Regardless of the type of shoe you buy, you can always purchase extra items to help them reach an optimum level of comfort. For example, cushion insoles or non-slip sole stoppers will help make sure your shoes fit you correctly while helping prevent blisters. You can find these items at any drugstore like Walgreens or CVS. They are also relatively cheap, in case you want to purchase multiples. Since wedding planning is stressful enough, it's always a good idea to bring along a support system. Not only will they be there to pep talk you when you get stressed, but they will also be able to offer their advice and opinions on your shoe choices. Just make sure whoever you bring along has a good idea of your personal style, if not, you may end up clashing over shoe styles. No matter how comfortable your wedding shoes are, it's always smart to have an extra pair or back up. For example, you never know if you might break a heel or...

TL;DR in English: Buy in advance. Shop around for shoes. Buy accessories for added luxury. Ask a friend or family member to help you shop. Bring a spare pair of shoes.

When you are working at the computer, rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet (6 m) away after using the computer for 20 minutes.  If you have a window nearby, looking at something outdoors is a great option.  Alternatively, you can move your eyes from something close to something far away, switching between the two every 10 seconds at least ten times for a little eye “workout.” Some eye strain occurs because you tend to blink less when focusing on something, like your computer screen. Try to be conscious of your blinking while you work, and do it more often. Closing and then rolling your eyes can help lubricate them. It also helps to relax straining muscles. Close your eyes and roll them around in a circular motion. Roll them clockwise, then counter-clockwise. This not only helps relax your eyes but also feels good. After a long period focusing on the screen, take a break to look around the room slowly, keeping your eyes constantly in motion and looking at things that are varying distances from you. Close your eyes and glance up as far as you can without discomfort. Hold your eyes still for a moment, then look down, eyes still closed.  Repeat a few times and then rest your eyes for a moment. Next, keeping your eyes closed like before, look to the right and the left. Repeat. The eye muscle is like a spring that should not be over-extended for long periods of time. Otherwise, it's ability to recoil can weaken. To prevent this, there are several things you can do to relax your eyes. Palming involves resting and warming your eyes using friction heat. Here's how it's done:  Rub your palms together to create some heat. Close your eyes. Put one palm gently over each eye and rest them like this for a few minutes. Re-warm your palms as necessary. Don't push into or jab your eyes too hard, so you don't damage them.

TL;DR in English:


Ask a survey question. Pose a rhetorical question. Ask the audience to visualize something. Get suggestions from the audience. Ask the audience to talk to each other. Describe a relatable scenario.

When you play a scale on an English concertina, you’ll have to alternate between your left and right hands to play the notes. Look for a treble concertina to have a similar note range as a violin. Most concertinas have 48 keys, but some models will have 56 keys with extra notes at the top of the scale. An English concertina makes the same note when you open and close the bellows, but an Anglo will make different sounds. Anglo concertinas also separate the low notes on the left side and the high notes on the right, making it easier to find the notes. Anglo concertinas come in 20-key, 30-key, and 40-key variations. A 20-key concertina limits the notes you can play, but it may be a good start if you’re a beginner. Duet concertinas come in many varieties with a different number of keys and layouts. The main draw for a duet concertina is being able to play melodies with 1 hand and an accompaniment on the other with ease, similar to an Anglo concertina. Some duet concertinas have up to 80 keys, giving them nearly the full range of a piano.

TL;DR in English: Get an English concertina to play the original instrument. Use an Anglo concertina to have an easier time playing. Try a duet concertina if you’re an advanced player.

Before you jump straight into distressing, run a sanding block or sheet of high-grit sandpaper over the entire piece. A thorough sanding will open up the pores in the wood and help the paint hold better. This translates to a longer-lasting finish that, ironically, will have no problem standing the test of time.  Sand with a gentle circular motion, starting in a central spot and gradually working your way outward. Fold the sandpaper over squared edges and slide the entire sheet back and forth using smooth strokes. A shade like white, eggshell or opal will work best. Don’t get too heavy-handed with the first coat—you just need to get the paint onto the piece, not achieve total coverage.  Work the base coat into corners, grooves and other hard-to-reach areas using the tip of your brush. Lighter colors will be more visible under additional coats of paint, enhancing the effect. Leave the painted piece in a cool, dry place as it dries. This will usually take 8-10 hours, but you might want to wait up to 24 hours to ensure that the paint has had ample time to set. Once it has fully cured, you can move onto the next phase of the project.  Avoid handling the painted wood while it dries. If you’d rather show off the natural wood grain than a separate layer of paint, feel free to skip straight to the distressing phase. Choose a bolder color for the topcoat that will stand in contrast to the lighter base coat underneath. This time, paint the entire piece. Use multiple coats to reach the desired depth and smoothness.  Change up the direction of your strokes to work the paint into tiny crevices and other textured areas. To underscore the vintage aesthetic, go with a topcoat in a faded-looking pastel shade, such as brick red, powder yellow or robin’s egg blue. Wet a rag or soft kitchen scrubber and wring out the excess water. Use the rag or scrubber to smudge the paint while it’s still slightly sticky to the touch. Doing so will expose the lighter paint underneath, which creates the illusion that the piece has been repainted...

TL;DR in English: Sand the wooden surface lightly. Paint the piece in a light color. Allow the base coat to dry completely. Brush on a second coat of paint. Wipe the paint with a damp cloth.

Tell your love interest what you admire about him or her. Focusing on someone’s looks is fine, but it’s a lot nicer to share what you like about your love interest that goes beyond his or her looks.  “You are so good with animals -- and they all seem to love you!” “I’m so impressed that you’re writing a book. I don’t think I could ever do that. How did you ever get started?” “You are seriously the best skier I have ever seen. Why didn’t you go pro?” Flirting is not for everyone, but it can help to move your relationship along. Gentle teasing or in-jokes with the person can be part of it, or even making good eye contact and smiling. Gentle touching can be flirtatious as well. Try gently touching your love interest on the arm or on the hand during a conversation to show your interest. Watch for signs of interest before you try flirting. If your love interest is doing things like smiling, making eye contact, and touching you now and then, flirting will most likely work. But if your love interest is avoiding eye contact with you, being cold or rude to you, and keeping some distance between the two of you, then flirting may not work. . This might be the moment that he or she really sees you as a potential romantic partner. It can be nerve-wracking to ask someone out, but if you’re trying to get someone to love you, you will have to ask for a date at some point. Be sure to ask for a date after you have gotten to know your love interest and have a good sense of what he or she likes to do. Some possible romantic date ideas include:  Taking a dance lesson together. This will give you a good excuse to get close to your love interest. Going on a picnic. Some nice cheese, bread, and a bottle of wine makes for a great evening. Checking out a jazz club. Even if you don’t like the music, the ambience and having to get close to talk to each other can bring two people together.

TL;DR in English: Offer compliments. Try flirting. Ask your love interest out on a date

Before you part ways, pick something to purposefully “forget” and leave it with the other person. That object should remind the other person of you whenever he or she sees it, and it also creates an unspoken promise to meet again soon so that the object can be returned to you.  Make sure that the object is something you can actually afford to forget. A bracelet, a watch, or your favorite book can all be good options. Your cell phone or wallet would be bad ideas. If you don’t want to be sneaky about it, you can come right out and say that the object is meant as collateral—proof that you'll return to claim it and see the holder once more. Write a heartfelt letter or card and mail it to the other person. This is a sweet, genuine gesture that shows more effort than just sending a text message. The other person will feel loved and cared for, and happily surprised, which will make them miss you. If you spend a lot of time in that person’s home, you can write notes in advance and hide them around their home before you part ways. When he or she finds one by surprise, it'll serve as an instant reminder of the last time you were there. The sense of smell is actually quite powerful, and evidence suggests that scent and memory are closely linked. Wearing the same subtle, pleasant scent on a regular basis can imprint yourself in someone's mind and make that person think of you whenever he or she smells it. If your special scent gets on the other person's clothing, pillows, or bed spread, they'll be reminded of you when you're not around.  This is most commonly seen in romantic relationships. The scent of a lover's shampoo, body wash, perfume, or cologne can linger on pillows and other objects, jolting the other partner's memory whenever he or she gets a whiff. Signature fragrances can work their magic in platonic relationships, too. For instance, if you love baking and your kitchen always smells like fresh bread, a friend or relative could easily come to associate that smell to the warmth of your home. When you leave,...

TL;DR in English: Leave something of yours behind in their house or car. Write a surprise note and leave it where they'll find it. Wear a signature fragrance and leave the scent on their items. Send a surprise gift or leave a parting gift.

Ask the audience’s position on a particular topic to get a sense of where your audience is coming from. This helps the audience get invested in the information you’re sharing and makes it relevant for them.  For a speech about how to winterize your car, you could ask the audience something like, “How many of you have ever felt your car slipping on an icy street? Or who here has had their car stall on the side of the road during freezing temperatures?” By asking the audience a question about your topic, you engage them almost instantly. The audience members will hear the question and begin to ponder their own answers, thereby becoming involved in the topic of your speech. If you are giving a speech about holiday traditions, you could ask, “What was your favorite holiday tradition growing up?” Lead your audience through a very brief visualization exercise to inspire their imagination as it pertains to your topic. They may not remember your words as much as the images that were evoked in their minds during this part of the speech. For example, if you’re giving a speech about booking a dream vacation, you might start with: “Imagine you are on a tropical beach. Feel the sand under your feet and the sun beating down on your shoulders. You can hear the ocean waves and wind swishing through the palm trees.” When people listen to a speech, they often are looking for answers to questions that they have. Giving your audience the opportunity to ask questions up front can help shape your speech and make sure you’re addressing their specific concerns. If you’re giving a speech about teaching online classes versus in-person classes, you might ask, “What’s your biggest concern about teaching an online class?” Call on a few people to hear their concerns. Chances are, you’ll be addressing their concerns in your speech already. Start off your speech by asking your audience to share something with their neighbor. This breaks the ice, making a more friendly and communal learning environment. You might say to the audience, “Turn...

Practice good personal hygiene Dress conservatively. Select classic silhouettes, colors, and fabrics. Apply natural makeup Keep your hair neat. Choose simple accessories.

When choosing broths, go with the low-fat variety. If you are making a creamy soup and the recipe calls for heavy cream, use a lower-fat substitute, such as 2% milk. You could also try a non-dairy milk if you are vegan or lactose-intolerant. Need a thick soup? Switch out the sour cream for some pureed, mild-tasting white beans. This would also give you an extra dose of fiber, protein, and other nutrients. Cutting fats and calories are not the only ways to make soup healthier. Another common culprit in soup is the excess sodium, and you can make your soup healthier by using low-sodium broths and less salt. This does not mean that your soup has to be flavorless. Try adding some fresh or dried herbs, such as: cilantro/coriander, ginger, garlic, or pepper.  Spices not only add flavor, but they also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, both of which are beneficial to your health.  Other ways to add a salty flavor is to use lemon juice, lime juice, or rice vinegar.  Switch out seasoned salt (ie: garlic salt) for herb-only seasoning, such as: garlic powder or onion salt. Vegetables are a great way of introducing antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and vitamins to your diet. Beans can add fiber and protein while making your soup thicker. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables. If you are using canned vegetables, however, make sure that they are low in sodium. Meat is a great way of adding protein to your meal, but it can also add unhealthy fats. Whenever you can, try to use lean meats, such as chicken and turkey, in your soups. If you can't replace the meat you are using, go for a lean or reduced fat option, such as:  Extra-lean or lean ground beef Ground chicken breast or turkey breast Turkey bacon or Canadian bacon If your soup recipe calls for pasta, noodles, or rice, try using whole wheat pasta, whole wheat noodles, or brown rice instead. If you don't like brown rice, you could also try wild rice or pearl barley. Whole grains are full of beneficial fibers, vitamins, and nutrients. There is...

TL;DR in English: Use a base that is low in fat. Watch the sodium. Add some vegetables or beans for extra fiber. Watch the kind of meat you add into your soup. Use whole grains. Go easy on the extras, such as bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Finished.

Your dance solo should be geared towards your audience. For example, if you're auditioning for a highly technical dance company, the goal of your dance solo may be to present your advanced technical ability. On the other hand, a dance solo for a community event may be geared solely towards entertaining others. The music and movement needs to reflect the aim of your solo.  For example, if you choreograph a fun and easy solo, it might not be the best choice to perform for an audition that requires displaying your technical ability. If you choreograph and highly technical and difficult solo, it might not be appreciated as much by an audience that is just looking to be entertained and doesn’t have knowledge about the technicalities of dance. For example, choose a ballet, jazz, modern, or tap routine. Some choreographic pieces are intended to dazzle through high-energy movements. Others dancers are meant to move others through awe-inspiring gracefulness. With the goal of your solo in mind, consider the type of dance and movement that would be  beftyou’re your dance ability and audience.  If you’ve never had ballet training, but want a slower, awe-inspiring routine, you may want to try modern or contemporary dance. If you want a fun, high-energy solo, go for tap, jazz, or hip hop. When auditioning for a traditional ballet company, select classical music or a piece that you would commonly dance to in your ballet classes. If you will perform the dance solo at a social or community event, choose music that will appeal to audience members. Try to pick a song that you would enjoy listening and dancing to. Some contemporary dances are performed to recitation of words, or in the case of a step dance, you would create your own music through clapping and stomping. Choreographing and then practicing a dance solo will take time and effort. Set aside an amount of time to work on your routine. You can practice for an hour five days or just a few days a week. Begin working on your routine early enough so that you will feel...

TL;DR in English: Adjust the solo to your intended audience. Choose your form of dance. Select appropriate music. Plan practice time. Designate a place to practice.

An epilator is made of many many tweezers that pluck out the hair, and can remove your hair for up to two weeks on average. Epilators are painful and more time consuming than shaving, but because it removes the entire hair follicle the results will last much longer. Instead of cutting the hair, an epilator has grooves and small indents where, as you run it up your body it grips the hair and pulls it out at the root. Epilators, however can cause a lot of problems with ingrown hairs - be sure to use a hair reduction cream like Depil or Vanish PFB after use. Epilators cannot reach into creases or wrinkles, but they may grab exposed skin painfully. Use one hand to pull your skin tight as you use it.  Wet epilation requires submerging the machine and skin underwater during use. Dry epilation requires clean, dry skin. Multiple passes and directions may be used to achieve best results by removing the most hair (not all hair grows in the same direction). If irritation occurs, apply an astringent/analgesics (such as Tend Skin) and follow up with lotion to soften and soothe skin.  Redness may appear for the first 24 hours following epilation. Plan to perform hair removal at least a day before scheduled events. Tweezing the hair can be very time consuming, especially if on a larger body part, however it is very effective in reducing and stopping hair growth on your face. Pulling hair out individually ensures that you are pulling the hair out from the root. While it can be painful, it is also the cheapest form of hair removal. You can't shave or 'wax' your eyebrows. Most people use a pair of tweezers to pull all the hairs out individually. Use a bright light to see all your eyebrow hairs.

TL;DR in English: Consider epilating. Pull your skin taut. Move the epilator across the skin in the direction opposite hair growth. Use tweezers for small areas of body hair. Pluck your eyebrows with tweezers.

Sahaja yoga provides the conscious awareness of subtle energy found in the body through true meditation.  It is a natural awakening that has measurable beneficial effects on the body’s well-being without side effects, special exercises, chanting, or mantras.  As Sahaja yoga has become more popular around the world, it has proven to be effective in people's lives everywhere, regardless of age, , sexual orientation, occupation, race, color, or creed.  Find a comfortable place to sit down with little distraction.  During the experience, your left hand will remain on your left lap with your palm facing up. Your right palm will be used to touch certain parts of your body on the left side. As you make the motions, keep your eyes closed during the entire experience so that you can keep your attention “inside.” It is recommended that you take your shoes off since Mother Earth drains all negative energy through the feet. The divine power is easily awaken inside all of us during the performing of Sahaja yoga.  During the experience, one can feel the divine vibration in their hands.  You will also be able to feel a cool breeze on the top of your hands and head.  These “vibrations” are believed to be divine energy so real that it can be captured on film.

You don’t have to make a show of asking them out. Approach the model casually and ask if they’d be interested in going out with you the next time they’re free. If they agree, try to set up the date and time. For instance, you could say, “It’s been great talking to you for these past few weeks, J.R. Would you be up for grabbing lunch or dinner with me sometime?” Don’t empty your bank account in an attempt to impress your date. You may end up having a great time out, but you’ll sacrifice your ability to afford your daily expenses. Instead, try to plan the date so it fits within your budget. A trip to your favorite casual Mexican restaurant can be fun and romantic as a meal at a five-star restaurant. Try to remember any interests your date mentioned when you first spoke to them. You can use these interests as a launching point to plan a date that is not only fun, but shows that you’re interested in the model as a person.  For instance, if the model enjoys gardening or the outdoors, take them to a botanical garden.  If the model’s a foodie, meet up at your favorite local spot or take a cooking class together! Just because your date is a model doesn’t mean you have to dress to the nines. Doing so may make things awkward and put too much pressure on the both of you. Instead, dress in something fairly nice, but comfortable and appropriate to wherever you’re meeting.  A good outfit for most dating situations is a nice shirt, a light jacket, denim jeans, and comfortable shoes.  If you prefer feminine fashion, consider a cute blouse and jeans or a simple dress paired with flats, sandals, or your favorite pair of heels. Being late to your first date creates a bad impression and wastes your date’s time. Try your best to show up at the time you agreed to meet on the dot, if not 5 minutes early. Apologize immediately if you end up being late for any reason. Don’t launch into any conversation about the future of your relationship on the first date. That means avoid talking about how you can see yourself marrying the model...

Keep your nails trimmed and neat, or get manicures and pedicures. Choose clothing that fits well and shows your figure without being too tight or revealing. Shorts, skirts, and dresses should not be shorter than just above the knee, rather than hitting at mid-thigh. Opt for tops with wide straps or sleeves, and avoid clothes that show too much skin, including your midriff and cleavage. Opt for items that won’t go out of style, like pencil skirts, flowing blouses, shift dresses, tailored trousers, A-line skirts, button-down tops, and blazers. Choose chic fabrics including silks, stiff crêpes, cashmeres, linens, and wools. Pair one bright piece of clothing with neutral colors, or mix neutrals together.  Wear a cream silk camisole underneath a navy buttoned blazer and pencil skirt suit. Add cream-colored wedges and a bright handbag. Pair a black A-line skirt with a pink silk blouse and black leather pumps. Add a scarf or a statement necklace and stud earrings. Layer a red wool peacoat over high-waisted khaki trousers and a white button-down top. Pair the outfit with red pumps. . Your makeup should look natural and subtle, as though you’ve barely applied it at all. Take care to choose a foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Use light blush and neutral eye makeup. Eyeliner and mascara should be used moderately. You can opt for a bold lipstick, such as a classic red, if desired. Avoid using makeup in shocking colors, like neon green or plum. Elegant women have a variety of hairstyles, so don’t feel as though you need a certain cut or style. No matter what you choose, though, keep it sleek and neat, and avoid deliberately messy styles. Chignons and french twists are great options for longer hair, while a bob is a classic style for those who like their hair shorter. Look for classic styles that compliment your outfit without looking overdone. Choose...

Listen to your teacher and follow instructions carefully. Never eat or drink in the lab. Tie your hair back and remove all jewelry. Store coats, chairs, and bags out of the way. Report all spills, breakages, or accidents to your teacher immediately.

If you’re not sure about the conditions in your garden, spend a sunny day watching the way the shadows fall throughout the day, then pick the sunniest spot for your dill.  Dill is self-sowing, which means it produces seeds which will grow new plants, so choose a spot where you’ll want to grow dill for the next several years. If you don’t have a spot that gets 6-8 hours of sun each day, plant it in the sunniest spot you have available. Dill can tolerate some shade but it won’t be as bushy. Dill grows best in well-drained soil, and adding compost to your garden can help prevent standing water. If your soil isn’t the best quality, though, don’t worry; dill prefers somewhat poor, sandy conditions. You can make your own compost from the food scraps your family uses, or you can purchase compost from a co-op or garden shop.

TL;DR in English: Choose a location that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Add aged compost to the garden before you plant your dill.

If your closet is big enough, then it's likely that you've stored things other than clothes in it, such as big boxes filled with mementos, old photo albums, and CDs you haven't seen for ten years. To finish organizing your closet, you should go through these old boxes to see what you should keep and what you should toss. Here's how to do it:  Get rid of any papers or items you've kept for over a year that have no sentimental value. Consolidate the boxes to save closet space. If your closet is already cramped, consider putting some of the items in a different place, such as putting your old high school yearbooks on the bottom of your bookshelf. If you've been using cardboard boxes, trade them up for plastic bins. They will last longer and will be more visually appealing. Label the boxes or bins so you know what's in them next time you move or organize your things again. Take the time to go through any additional items in your closet to make sure that you still need them and that the closet is really the best place for them. Here are some examples:  If you find any towels, sheets, or blankets, put them in your linen closet. If you've had an old lawn chair or another piece of furniture you don't really need hanging out back there, it's time to throw it out. If you've had to pick up an item and spend at least fifteen seconds trying to figure out what the heck it is or why you would need it, it's time to throw it out. Make sure that all of the other items you find belong in the closet and not another part of your home. For example, if you find a box of light bulbs, a box of comic books, or a box of chocolate, ask yourself if those items wouldn't be more logically organized elsewhere. Turn your creativity loose and think of ways to add pleasure to the routine of getting dressed and looking through your closet every day. If you spend more time making your closet look nice, then you will be less likely to let it get messy in the future.  Paint your closet a soft pretty color. Add mirrors for sparkle. Hang jewelry and...

TL;DR in English: Organize any boxes in your closet. Organize any additional items in your closet. Make your closet more visually appealing. Enjoy your newly organized closet.

Before you attempt to find counseling or professional support for your loved one, you should make sure that they want your assistance. Ask them if they would like you to help them get therapy or other services.  You might start by asking them what type of help they want. For example, you might say, “How do you want to approach this issue?” If they are not already in counseling, you might say, “Do you think you should get therapy? Would you like me to help you find a good therapist?” If they are already in therapy or if they are resistant to the idea of therapy, you might say, “What can I do to help you?” If they say that they do not want your help, try to avoid pushing the issue. If they are not in any danger to themselves, you might revisit the issue in a month or two. If you believe that they are suicidal, do not try to negotiate with them: contact a professional immediately or call 911. If they have a diagnosed mental illness, you should try to find out as much as you can about it so you that you can learn specific techniques for talking to them in the future. Try not to use this information to preach potential cures at them. Rather, learn about their illness so that you can better understand their struggle. You might want to look up what type of therapist or counseling they need to help you find a professional in your area. If they have expressed that they would like your help in getting therapy, you can look for mental health services, counseling, therapy, and crisis centers in your area. If the loved one is under the age of 18, you may be responsible for finding them this help.  You can ask your doctor for a referral to a good therapist. There are many different types of therapists, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and family therapists.  You can call SAMHSA at 1-877-726-4727 to locate nearby mental health services and support. Support groups can give your loved one a safe space to discuss their issues with others who have the same illness. Encourage them to find a group in your...

TL;DR in English: Ask them if they want help. Research their condition. Search for a mental health professional. Find a support group. Get immediate help if they are suicidal.

If you don’t want to deal with setting up a merchant account, a third-party processor will use their merchant account to accept credit card donations on your behalf.  You will be charged a processing fee by the third-party processor.  Also, expect delays in transferring the money to your account. The fees charged by a third-party processor are typically a percentage of each transaction. Popular companies who work with nonprofits include Network for Good and Democracy in Action.  These companies have centralized websites to which donors are referred.  They not only provide credit card processing, but they also send acknowledgement notices to donors.  Their acknowledgement communications include information about your nonprofit organization and your cause. PayPal also offers opportunities for nonprofits to accept donations online.  They have a donate button that nonprofits can easily integrate into their websites.  They also offer widgets that organizations can put on their social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.  They offer low transaction fees for nonprofits, and they don’t charge any set up or recurring monthly fees. To be eligible for this option with PayPal, an organization must have a documented 501(c)(3) status. Third-party processors are easy to set up and manage and inexpensive to maintain.  If you go with a well-known company, you can have confidence that your transactions will be processed quickly and accurately.  However, your name does not appear on financial transactions on the donor’s credit card statement.  Also, you should expect a delay of a few days before funds are transferred into your account.

TL;DR in English: Choose a third-party processor. Find a third-party processor that specializes in working with nonprofits. Consider using PayPal. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of a third-party processor.

Dripping blood is fresh and oxygenated, so you need a fake blood recipe that is more watery and a bit brighter than the fake blood used for dried smears. Light corn syrup can accomplish this effect. Adding corn starch thickens the mixture to the right consistency, and the addition of laundry soap makes the blood less likely to stain.  In a small bowl, mix together 2/3 cup (150 ml) light corn syrup, 1/3 cup (75 ml) warm water, 3 to 5 tsp (15 to 25 ml) red food coloring, 2 to 3 drops blue or green food coloring, 5 Tbsp (75 ml) cornstarch, and a squirt of liquid laundry soap. Continue mixing until evenly combined into a smooth mixture. Note that you can adjust the amount of red food coloring as needed to achieve your desired shade. If the blood seems too thin, add more cornstarch. If it seems too thick, add more water. Squeeze the tip of a clean, empty eye dropper and dunk the mouth of the dropper into your fake blood. Release the tip to draw the blood into the body of the dropper. A syringe without a needle could also work if you do not have an eye dropper. Essentially, you just need a tool that you can use to control the application of fake blood. That tool must have a mouth that is small enough to fit into one nostril, however. Hold your heat straight and place the mouth of the dropper at the base of one nostril. Slowly squeeze the bulb so that fake blood comes out in a mild trickle. The blood should pour down from the base of your nostril to your mouth in an even stream.  To make the process easier, use a mirror when applying the blood. Note that you may not use all of the fake blood inside the dropper. You only need to use enough fake blood to create one steady trail. Do not squirt the blood directly into your nostril. The tip of the dropper should be on the outside of your nostril, at its very base. The body of the dropper should be pointed up and slanted off the one side. Only apply the fake blood to one side of your nose for a more convincing nosebleed. The conclusion of this step marks the end of this method.

TL;DR in English: Make some fake blood. Fill an eye dropper with the blood. Squeeze the blood out at the base of your nostril.

Before a lab begins, your teacher will discuss all of the necessary safety precautions for that specific experiment. They will have also detailed all safety procedures at the beginning of the year.  If you are unsure of the correct way to handle something, always ask the teacher so you do everything safely. At all times, follow any safety guidelines posted in the lab. Eating or drinking in the lab or during an experiment can be extremely hazardous and lead to injury. If you have a hazardous chemical on your hands and then you touch your food with those hands, you could ingest that chemical. The same goes for drinking beverages.  If you need to eat or drink anything, remove your gloves and lab coat, wash your hands, leave the laboratory and then consume the food or drink. Chewing gum is also not allowed in the lab. Hair and dangling jewelry can present a hazard if they catch on anything. You can also accidentally catch your hair on fire if it falls into a flame without you realizing it. Chemicals that are corrosive or irritating can get underneath a ring or a bracelet and cause irritation. Try to come to class without any jewelry so you don’t have to store it and potentially lose it. When you first get to the lab, put all of your things in a place where they will be out of the way and not create a trip hazard. Under the lab bench or in cubby holes at the front of the class are the two best places to store them. When leaving class, remember to grab all of your things from under the bench or wherever they were left. No matter how trivial it may seem, everything must be reported to the teacher. They will know how to handle everything safely and make sure no one gets hurt. If glass breaks or something spills, do not try to clean it up until you have told your teacher about it. There might be a special way the clean-up needs to be handled.

Choose a decongestant for a stuffy nose. Use an antihistamine for allergies. Use an expectorant for wet coughs. Choose a pain reliever for fever and aches. Try a cough suppressant for dry coughs. Consider a combination medicine.

As soon as you get stung, get the stinger out of your skin. This is the most important thing you can do! Some people suggest that scraping the stinger out with a credit card is better than pinching it out, but this is more likely to slow down the removal. Some scientists don’t think this is even true, and that removing the stinger as quickly as possible is the best thing you can do.  You should be able to see the stinger where you’ve been stung. It will be about the size of the tip of a pen and consists of the stinger itself with some torn flesh from the bee. Sometimes, the bee will remain connected to the stinger by a string of flesh. Get it out with your fingernails, if possible. Otherwise grab a credit card to sweep it out don't pinch it or it will release more venom into the body. The cold water will be soothing and the soap can help wash away any residual dirt or venom. Lather up well and rinse the area thoroughly. Even if you’ve been stung by a bee before without any problem, be on the alert for signs that you’re having an allergic reaction. Allergies can develop or worsen over time. Severe reactions (anaphylaxis) can by life-threatening. Watch out for any of the following signs of anaphylaxis:  Difficulty breathing or wheezing Swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or throat  Dizziness, fainting, or a drop in blood pressure Skin reaction like hives, flushing, itching, or paleness A fast, weak pulse Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea Restlessness and anxiety Take an antihistamine like Benadryl immediately after the bee sting. This is a preventative measure, even if you don’t end up having an allergic reaction. if you’re having an allergic reaction. If any of the above symptoms are present, call for emergency help right away. While you’re waiting for help to arrive (or on your way to the hospital), take Benadryl or another antihistamine before a reaction sets in. If you have an EpiPen, use it.  If you’re waiting and start to have a serious reaction, you can take a double dose of antihistamine. Just be sure to...

TL;DR in English: Remove the stinger as quickly as possible. Wash the area with soap and cold water. Watch out for symptoms of an allergic reaction. Call emergency services

Do this by switching your amp to standby mode without any input for at least two minutes before hooking up your guitar. Once the amp is warmed up and ready to rock, you can plug in your guitar and switch your amp to its active mode. Changing the volume on your amp can also change the tone of the sound it produces. Set your amp to its optimal volume, and if loudness is an issue, make sure you have the proper sound dampening measures in place.  If you have decided on using a power soak, tie this into your sound line as instructed in its accompanying directions. If you plan on making use of a sound closet or chamber, make sure your amp is in its proper position. Wear and tear might require you to finesse some of your cables or connectors into the right inputs or outputs. In particular, be sure that your guitar, amp, microphone, and DAW/audio interface are properly linked. Audio equipment can draw a considerable amount of current. In some cases, when too much current is drawn on an electrical circuit, a circuit breaker will be tripped and the power supply cut off. To prevent this from happening mid-recording: Test your electrical supply by taking some time to warm up. Be sure that all the equipment you plan on using is switched on, warmed up, and set the volume at which you will record. Double check your tuning. If you notice that your guitar sounds too "honky," meaning that it has a kind of country twang to its tone, you can change this by reducing the Mid knob.  If it sounds too thick, or isn't very clear, increase the Mid knob. With everything in place and properly adjusted, all you need to do now is set your DAW/audio interface to record and begin playing. Once you have finished playing, stop the recording and check your handiwork. At this point, you can polish your recording through your DAW/audio interface. In many cases, this will be your computer. Once your recording is complete, you can apply filters to it to highlight certain aspects, like:  Clarity and focus. A high pass filter at 100, 150, or 200Hz...

TL;DR in English: Warm up your amp. Adjust your amp settings and dampening measures, if necessary. Check all connections and cords. Stress test your electrical supply. Verify the sound of your electric guitar with headphones. Record yourself playing your electric guitar. Use filters to improve the quality of your sound.

Role-playing your study content may motivate you to keep studying. Plus, role-playing may offer a richer understanding of the subject matter as opposed to simply reading or memorizing key dates or terms.  Exercise your creativity and devise a way to act out your studies. Invite some peers to join you—just remember to stay on task. For instance, if you are learning about war in history, you might act out one of the key battles. Your instructor might advise against doodling during class, but this activity might help you outside of the classroom. Drawing out your subject matter may actually lead to retaining more information. Plus, doodling as you read makes the task more enjoyable. Another way to add interest to your study time is by singing about the subject matter. You might generate a sing-song rhyme to explain the rules of language arts or mathematics. Or, you might take your studies further and develop a jingle when learning about persuasive arguments in speech.

TL;DR in English: Act it out. Draw pictures. Create a song.

A decongestant should be taken if you have nasal or sinus congestion. It helps you clear a stuffy nose. They help loosen congestion so you can expel it. Decongestants may disrupt your sleep.  Certain blood pressure medications may react negatively to decongestants. Talk to your doctor about if decongestants are right for you. Nasal sprays can provide temporary relief for sinus congestion, but long term use may make the congestion worse. Saline nose sprays may provide better relief than a medicated one. Antihistamines are good for allergy-type symptoms. They dry up secretions. This includes runny noses, postnasal drip, and itchy eyes. Products containing this might thicken mucus. Antihistamines can make you sleepy. Expectorants help with wet coughs that contain phlegm. Expectorants help loosen and expel phlegm in your chest so you can cough it up. Expectorant can also thin mucus, helping with coughing or drainage into the throat. Drowsiness may be a side effect of this drug. There are different types of pain relievers in cold medicine. You can also get pain relievers separate from your cold medicine. Decide which is best for your symptoms.  NSAIDS help if you have a sore throat, headache, body aches, or a fever. Examples of NSAIDS include ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen. Don’t take NSAIDs if you are already taking a NSAID for an existing condition.  Acetaminophen is most commonly found in Tylenol. It helps with fevers and aches. Acetaminophen can be a better option if you have a sensitive stomach or acid reflux. You shouldn’t take it if you have liver problems or drink a lot of alcohol.  You shouldn’t take an extra pain reliever if your cold medicine already has it in it. Make sure you read the ingredients or ask the pharmacist if you're unsure. If you have kidney disease or impaired kidney function, NSAIDs can cause further damage to your organs. Speak with your doctor before taking NSAIDs if you have any kidney problems. Cough suppressants are also known as antitussives. They help suppress your cough....

Peak flow meters only work properly if air is able to freely pass through them. Blowing into a meter that is obstructed by a foreign object will not provide an accurate reading and could cause unnecessary strain on your lungs.  Peak flow meters usually have an open orifice in the mouthpiece of the device; this is the area most likely to become obstructed, so check here first before use. When grasping the meter in your hand, make sure your fingers do not obstruct the sliding scale on top of the device. It is important to maintain good posture while using your peak flow meter because this will allow you to maximize your pre-test inhalation as well as your exhalation (which is measured by the device). Slouching or lying down while using the meter will not allow you to get a good reading. The sliding cursor on the back of the peak flow meter is what measures the force of your exhalation. If you do not zero the cursor before you use the meter, your reading will not be accurate. You can adjust the cursor by simply placing your finger on it and manually sliding it to the "zero" end of the scale, which is toward the mouthpiece of the meter. In order to register the most powerful exhalation you are capable of, you must first fill your lungs with air. Do this before inserting the peak flow meter into your mouth in order to ensure the fullest inward breath possible. Be sure to remove gum or anything else from your mouth before inhaling. Not only do you want to prevent blowing a foreign object into your peak flow meter, but you also don't want to accidentally inhale anything when you take your deep breath in. In order to get the best reading possible on the meter, you should place the mouthpiece between your front teeth and seal your lips around the opening. This will stabilize the meter and ensure that no air escapes from the sides of your mouth when you exhale. Pull your tongue backward, away from the mouthpiece, so you do not accidentally block the opening of the meter. The idea here is to get a hard, fast burst of...

TL;DR in English: Check the meter for obstructions. Stand or sit up straight. Set the cursor to zero. Inhale deeply. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Blow forcefully into the meter. Repeat the test twice more.

In general, bush varieties are easier to grow in pots than vine varieties, which need a trellis to climb and spread out on. Picking a variety suited to a container will give you a higher chance of success. Varieties that are well-suited for container growing include the Salad Bush Hybrid, Bush Champion, Spacemaster, Hybrid Bush Crop, Baby Bush, Bush Pickle, and Potluck. Your pot should be at least this wide in diameter, as well as that deep, too. If you want to grow more than 1 plant in a single pot, try a container that is at least 20 inches (51 cm) in diameter and holds 5 gallons (19 L).  When using a container outdoors, go for a larger container if you can. It will retain moisture more effectively.  You can even use a rectangular planter box if you add a trellis for the cucumbers to grow on. While cucumbers love water, standing water can cause root damage. Look for a pot that already has drainage holes, if possible. Just flip it over to see if it has holes in the bottom.  If your pot doesn't have drainage holes, use a drill to make holes. Choose a masonry drill bit for soft, unfinished terra cotta or a tile and glass drill bit for glazed surfaces. Pick a 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 in (6.4 to 12.7 mm) bit. Place painter's tape over the bottom of the pot where you want to drill holes. Painter's tape helps steady the bit. Press the bit lightly into the tape, and turn the drill on at a slow speed. Slowly and steadily apply light pressure to the taped area until the drill goes through the pot. Repeat for at least 1 other hole. If you press too hard or try to drill too fast, you may break the pot. Pots can contain bacteria that may cause your plant to rot. If you've used the pot for another plant, it may have hidden insect eggs that will hatch and attack your cucumbers. Scrub it down thoroughly with a rag or dish brush and soapy water. Rinse it out several times to make sure you get all the soap out. Vine cucumbers require a trellis or stake to grow. Even though bush cucumbers do not require staking, they do benefit from it. To...

TL;DR in English: Choose a bush variety of cucumber for containers. Select a pot that is 10 in (25 cm) wide for your cucumbers. Add holes if your container doesn't have them. Clean your pot thoroughly with hot water and soap. Prepare a stake. Fill the pot with a well-draining soil mix. Boost nutrition by mixing a good fertilizer into the soil.

Wash the lemons and oranges under running water, and scrub the peels with a vegetable brush. Pat the fruits dry, and set one orange and one lemon aside. With the other lemon and orange, use a zester, vegetable peeler, or sharp knife to carefully remove the outer zest from the fruit. Place the zest into a small metal or heavy ceramic bowl.  The zest pieces shouldn’t be more than an inch (2.5 cm) wide if you're using a knife to zest the citrus. Avoid peeling the pith with the zest. The pith is the white part under the zest, and it can be quite bitter. Sprinkle the sugar over the lemon and orange zest and toss the mixture with a spoon to coat the zest with the sugar. Use a muddler, pestle, or heavy wooden spoon to gently pound the mixture. Continue pounding for a few minutes, until the citrus starts to release its oils and the mixture becomes slightly wet. Set the mixture aside for an hour. Oleo-saccharum is a nineteenth century cocktail ingredient made by combining citrus oil and sugar. After an hour, the zest and sugar mixture should be quite wet, as the citrus will have released its oils. Transfer the oil and zest to a large punch bowl that will hold about 3 quarts (3 L). Pour the mandarin vodka over the oleo-saccharum and leave it for about five minutes. This will give the sugar mixture time to dissolve into the vodka. Once the sugar and vodka are combined, add the vermouth, absinth, orange juice, and fresh lemon juice to the punch bowl. Add 15 to 20 ice cubes, and then slowly pour the sparkling wine into the mixture. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients. Adding the sparkling wine last will help to preserve the carbonation, and make the punch light and refreshing. When you're ready to serve the punch, add in the mixed berries. Slice the remaining lemon and orange into disks, and arrange them in a layer on top of the punch. Use a ladle to portion out servings and enjoy!

TL;DR in English: Zest an orange and lemon. Make the oleo-saccharum. Combine the oleo-saccharum and vodka. Add the remaining punch ingredients. Garnish with mixed berries and citrus wheels before serving.

After you get in the water, whether you're swimming in the ocean or a pool or just taking a bath or a shower, you should be attentive to keeping your ears dry. Wipe the water off the outside of your ears with a clean cloth, and pat the area closer to your ear canal dry, too. Make sure to tilt your head to one side or another to shake out any of the excess water in your ears. It's true that some people are more prone to getting water stuck in their ears than others, since a lot of it depends on the shape of your ear. If you tend to get water stuck in your ears a lot, then you should be especially vigilant. While you may think that a cotton swab could help you excavate your ears, whether you want to remove water, wax, or a foreign object, using a q-tip actually has the opposite effect, and it can actually push the water or wax deeper into your ear. It can also scratch the inside of your ear, causing further pain.  Using a tissue to clean the inside of your ears can scratch them as well. You can use a few drops of mineral or baby oil to loosen ear wax if you need to. If you want to clean the outside of your ears, wipe them down gently with a damp cloth. Using earplugs or cotton balls when you sleep at night can have a similar effect to cotton swabs if your ears have water or other substances stuck in them, pushing the matter deeper into your ear. If you're having ear pain or feel that there's water stuck in your ear, then avoid these nighttime aids for the time being. You should also avoid headphones until the pain clears up, too.

TL;DR in English: Dry your ears after swimming. Avoid using cotton swabs to clean your ears. Avoid using earplugs or cotton balls in your ears when you have water stuck in them.

Inspect the condition of your foundation. If repairs need to be made to floorboards, do so now. The less work done after the rail installation, the better in order to make sure the handrail stays intact for as long as possible. To install a handrail using balusters, rather than installing one on a wall, you'll need quite a few materials in addition to the handrail you have chosen. If you're installing double handrails, one on either side of your set of stairs, double the quantity of supplies you purchase.  Your handrail should be a 2x4 piece of wood that is no longer than 8 feet long, according to most building codes. Purchase two newel posts, the supporting posts that hold up the rail; you'll need one for the top of the stairs and one for the base. The standard size of a post is 4x4 inches and 5 feet long. Purchase one baluster per stair step. Balusters are the spindles that connect the rail to each step. The height of the balusters should be between 30 and 36 inches, depending on how high you want the railing to be. If there are already posts and/or balusters in place, count the total numbers of pieces you will need to replace, if any. For secure installation of newel posts, you'll need a post-hole digger and concrete mix to pour into the holes.  Purchase sure-tite fasteners for secure installation of balusters in the steps. You'll need wood glue or epoxy glue to fasten the handrail to the posts. Depending on the style of railing you install, you may need additional reinforcement supplies, such as a finish nail gun and a screwdigger. If you're replacing an old handrail, your set of stairs may already have newel posts at the top and bottom that you can use to support your new handrail. If not, you'll need to install posts before you can install your rail.  To install a post in the ground, use a post-hole digger to dig a hole least 18 inches in depth in front of the bottom step. Fill the hole halfway to the top with mixed, wet concrete. Stand a newel post in the hole. If you're installing two posts, use a...

Your local pet store will carry many different formula options, such as Kitten Milk Replacer or Esbilac, that can be used to feed baby mice. Human formulas Enfamil (the kind without iron) and Soyalac can also be used. Whole, raw goats milk will nourish the babies as well.  Slightly warm the formula or milk before feeding; do not use hot or cold formula. Powdered formulas will need to be mixed with water per the directions on the container. The babies must be warm before feeding, or they won’t be able to digest the formula properly. If this happens, the formula will ferment in their bellies, causing diarrhea. You can keep the babies warm by placing a heating pad on a low setting underneath their enclosure. You can also use an eyedropper. If you are using a syringe or bottle, suck liquid up into the container to prepare for feeding. If you are using string, simply dip it into the formula until it is dripping. Take care to not squeeze the syringe or bottle with much force. If you see liquid bubbling from their noses, stop feeding immediately. When the mice have round, full tummies, they do not need any more food. Mice ages 0-1 week need feedings 6-8 times a day; mice 1-2 weeks need feedings 5-6 times a day; mice 2-3 weeks need feedings 4 times a day; and mice 4 weeks old only need feedings 3 times a day. Space each feeding a couple of hours apart. You will also have to feed the mice during the night. Use a cotton ball or your finger, and gently brush over their private areas. A small amount of liquid will come out, but if the baby is dehydrated, nothing may come out. Rub until there is no more liquid. For the first several days of weaning, provide a small amount of moistened rodent pellets for the weaning mice; drizzle water over the pellets to prepare them, then place them in an easily accessible area.  Soon, the mice will be nibbling at the soaked crumbles. When the mice appear to be getting stronger, try feeding them regular rodent pellets. Pet supply stores have rodent chow available, whether it comes in...

TL;DR in English: Prepare formula to feed the mice. Use a small syringe, small nursing bottle, or absorbent string for feeding. Place small drops of food into the mouth. Feed the mice frequently. Stimulate the babies after feeding so they use the bathroom. Wean the babies after 3 to 4 weeks. Provide healthy pellets and water once the babies are weaned.

Take 2 pieces of PVC piping—one 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in diameter and the other 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm).  Use a saw to cut the PVC pipes to the desired length. Keep in mind that the combined length of the 2 PVC pipes will be the approximate length of your finished fishing rod. For example, for a small child-size fishing rod you could cut each pipe to a length of 10 inches (25.4 cm). Use some sandpaper to smooth the sawed edges and remove any markings from the body of the pipes. You will need two slip caps: one  1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) and one 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm)  fitting.  You will also need a 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1.3–1.9 cm) threaded connector (female/male) and a 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1.3–1.9 cm) threaded connector (female/female). These fittings are available very cheaply from the hardware store. Slip each fitting onto the corresponding piece of pipe, but do not glue in place. Take a power drill with a 3⁄32 inch (0.2 cm) drill bit and drill 3 to 5 holes all the way through the 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) PVC pipe. The number of holes will depend on the length of the pipe you are using. No matter how many holes you make, ensure that they evenly spaced. Take a number of medium sized binder clips (to match the number of holes you drilled) and remove the silver wire from the clip.  Use a pliers to bend one leg of the silver wire across the other. When you’re done, there should be a closed loop on one end of the wire and on the other end the legs should point inwards towards each other. Repeat with the other wires. Take a wire and clip the legs into the holes on either side of the 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pipe. The loop at the end of the wire forms an eyelet for the fishing line. Repeat with the other wires. Buy a premade fishing reel and attach it to the side of the larger 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) PVC pipe. You can do this by using the same drill bit as before to make 2 holes in the side of the pipe, then screw the fishing reel into place The last step is to screw the 2 pieces of PVC pipe together to form your fishing rod and run the fishing line through the eyelets....

TL;DR in English: Cut 2 PVC pipes. Attach the slip caps and threaded connectors. Drill holes into the smaller PVC pipe. Attach the eyelets. Attach a premade fishing reel to the larger pipe. Screw the PVC pipes together.

If you don't have to work directly with the difficult coworker, do you best to stay away from him.  When you do need to interact with this person, keep your interactions brief and pleasant. Be professional instead of giving the person the cold shoulder or being rude. Depending on the situation, it may be best to simply ignore certain behaviors as well, even if they are exhibited by coworkers with whom you work closely. Remember, you need to pick and choose your battles. If you're having a problem with a coworker who you really do need to work with, try talking to the person openly about the issue. Make sure to communicate what the problem is, listen to her perspective, and offer your own suggestions for resolving the problem. You don't need to be afraid about bringing up an issue for fear of hurting your coworker's feelings; you just need to be diplomatic. Try to keep your conversation directed at the specific issue at hand, instead of making it about your coworker as a person. For example, instead of saying, "You need to get your act together and work harder or we're going to miss our deadline," say, "I'd like to talk to you about what we can do to get that project you're working on finished sooner." It may be that your difficult coworker simply has a different style of communication than you do, which can make it difficult for the two of you to understand each other. Make sure to communicate to your coworker if you feel that there is something he needs to do to improve your working relationship. You also need to be willing to step in and do your part.  Avoid accusing your coworker of anything. For example, instead of saying, "You never give me enough time to prepare for presentations," say, "I work best when I know about a presentation two days in advance. Can you try to let me know by then?" Don't take offense if your coworker offers you some constructive criticism in return. Do your best to learn from it, assuming it is reasonable. If you have a coworker who is constantly bringing other people down with...

TL;DR in English: Ignore the coworker. Talk it out. Make your perspective known. Point out negativity. Know when it is appropriate to report a concern. Stand up to office bullies. Document your grievances.

Use a soft cloth and water to gently wipe down all surfaces of wicker to remove dirt and retain shine.  Try using a mild soap on your cloth or sponge for more stubborn dirt and stains on your wicker, but follow by wiping with just water afterwards. You can also add salt to water as a non-abrasive way to gently scrub away dirt and stains.  Add a mixture of one part white vinegar to three parts water on your cloth if you need to eliminate mold or mildew built up on the wicker. Remove any cushions or other material that is not made of wicker and clean separately.  Check to see if cushions have a tag with care instructions. You may be able to put the entire cushion, or a removable cover, into a washing machine. When in doubt, opt for gently dabbing at cushion fabric with a damp cloth and a small amount of gentle soap or stain remover. Wipe outdoor furniture with a wet cloth or sponge and soap, then rinse with a hose.  Never hose down paper fiber wicker, as it will easily be destroyed by a large amount of water. Washing should mainly be done with care on natural reed or synthetic wicker.  If possible, tilt your piece of furniture so that any area with a tighter weave of the wicker is on top. This way, water will run down from it to the looser weave, where it can be wiped away or dried more easily without keeping moisture trapped inside the weave.  Steam-clean outdoor wicker furniture with a hand steam-cleaner if it is very dirty. Make sure that you dry the wicker right away with a hair dryer or full sun and wind to avoid the wicker warping or bending. Ensure that the wicker is fully dry after washing and before replacing cushions or using the furniture again.  Keep the furniture in a dry place indoors, outside in the sun in dry conditions, or use a fan or hairdryer at some distance away from the wicker to accelerate drying. Keep the shape of the wicker as best as possible. Avoid sitting or placing any objects on the furniture before it is completely dry, as the wicker may form a new shape when wet. Expect to wait...

TL;DR in English: Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Wash cushions separately. Hose down outdoor wicker furniture. Let the wicker dry.

Ask your hotel concierge, hostel manager, or host in or around Paris how far the nearest RER line-connecting train station is. The RER line is part of the rapid-transit system that connects suburbs of Paris and the city center. If you have access to the internet, you can also search for the closest connection point to your location. The train stations that connect with the RER C train lines are Musee d'Orsay, Les Invalides, Gare d'Austerlitz, St. Michel-Notre Dame, Pont de l'Alma, and Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel. Before getting onto the platform to take the train, purchase your return ticket from the ticket office or from a green automatic ticket machine. Payment should be made by cash or credit card. You will receive 2 tickets - 1 for the trip to versailles and 1 for the trip home.  The return trip currently costs about 7 euros per person. The C5 line is the fastest, cheapest, and most efficient way to get to Versailles. You can also take the C7 line to the Gare de Versailles-Chantiers station and take a longer walk to Versailles. After depositing your ticket into the front of the turnstile, retrieve it on the other side. As soon as the turnstile unlocks, pass through it. Follow the directions ahead to find the C5 platform where you will get on the train. After exiting the station, cross the street. Take a left between the green kiosk and cafe onto the Rue de Paris. Follow this road until you reach the Versailles gates.

TL;DR in English: Find a train station nearest to you that connects to the RER line. Buy a return ticket for the RER line C5 to the Versailles-Rive Gauche station. Insert your ticket into the turnstile to access the RER platform. Exit the RER station and walk down rue de Paris to get to Versailles.

This is a version of you, since you don't want to pretend to be someone else, but a more idealized version of you. It's the person who you'll be publicly and which you'll capitalize on when you're marketing yourself.  Basically, there are two different people in this equation. There's the real you, which is fallible, imperfect and then there's the idealized you (which is the one that you're going to be selling). The idealized you is perfect, amazing and awesome. The times when you need to use this image are when you're selling yourself and your product (book, singing, cooking, etc.) to others, whether it's the general public or a publisher or music producers. Just remember, the idealized you only needs to be on for a short period of time, and then you can go back to being your usual self. . This is the big one, because if you can't market yourself you're not going to be a celebrity. People who make celebrity status are the ones who create an image and then know how to effectively sell that image to whatever industry they want to be part of, as well as to the general public.  Explain why you're unique. Part of marketing yourself is to show why people should be interested in you. What is it about your work and your presence that people should like. Be persistent. Marketing yourself means being visible and being visible means you have to keep marketing yourself. For example: if your book keep getting rejected from publishers, submit things (like short stories) to literary magazines to get writing credits that will help your writer's image. Before you can go on big media circuits to the Daily Show or Ellen, you'll need to set yourself up on local t.v. and radio, so that people will be able to see that you're a good person to interview and that you are providing interesting and unique product. When you've gotten yourself set up in whatever it is you want to become a celebrity in, contact your local news outlets and let them know what you're doing. Again, be persistent. If they aren't immediately interested, keep...

TL;DR in English:


Determine what your strings are made of. Spread some lubricant onto a rag. Run the rag across the strings.

With rejection sensitivity, you can easily get caught up dwelling on people who reject you and forget about those who embrace you. Make a point to spend time with people who value who you are as a person.  Whether it’s friends, coworkers, peers at school, or family members, make an effort to connect with people who love and care for you. They can help balance the scales against any rejection you feel from others. If you don't have strong relationships, meet some new people. Volunteer and help out in your local community. Join an organization or club. Strike up a conversation with the wallflower at a party. Become an advocate for those who are being bullied. People with rejection sensitivity often go into social situations expecting to get the cold shoulder. In many ways, this can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you enter a situation in bad faith and with a negative attitude, you are more likely to get the same in return. However, you may start getting a more positive outcome by expecting to be accepted. When you’re entering a new social setting, tell yourself, “They’ll like me” or “I’m going to make so many friends.” You just might be surprised at the outcome. If you tend to receive many rejections in a particular area of life, such as in your career or dating life, you may need to examine your actions to see how you can improve. Think about it: you will never catch a fish if you’re using the wrong bait. For instance, if you are applying for jobs that demand gregariousness and you’re shy, you may not impress the interviewer. Switch tactics and search for a similar job in which it doesn’t matter so much how outgoing you are. You may just get the position. If you interact with people who reject you, criticize you, or put you down on a regular basis, you should consider distancing yourself from those people. Establish healthy boundaries by letting them know that their behavior is hurtful to you. If the behavior continues, avoid contact with the person if you can.  On the other side of the coin, it is important...

TL;DR in English: Find a positive support system. Expect acceptance. Rethink your strategy. Avoid people who consistently reject you. Consult with a mental health provider.

You want to be able to leave your job on the best terms possible given your situation. Your future employment may depend on your ability to stay calm in the present. There may be friendships and/or professional connections between your current company's employees and potential employers. Plus, your current company may be contacted as a reference. Therefore, you must do your best to remain calm and stay professional by doing the following:  Listen to what your employer has to say. It may be tough to keep quiet but in order to understand the situation, you must listen. Do not argue. No matter the circumstances, the decision has been made by your employer. As a courtesy to you they are giving you an option to either resign or stay and wait to be fired. Arguments and pleas will not change their minds. Do not cause a scene up until you leave for good. The meeting can go very differently if you act out and the employer rescinds your option to resign. If you pose any threat or you are unprofessional, you will be asked to leave and escorted out the building by security. If this happens there will be negative implications such as bad references, bad impressions, possible ineligibility for unemployment or company benefits and possible legal issues. Most likely you already understand the circumstances surrounding your choice to resign because you have been spoken to already, have a feeling something is going on or know you have done something undesirable. However, if you do not fully understand, you must ask questions. Knowing the exact reasons for asking you to resign will help you make your decision about whether to stay or wait to be fired. For example, if you are being asked to leave because your position is being eliminated, then resigning will leave you without unemployment benefits and it may be best to wait to be fired. If you are asked to leave because you have engaged in prohibited acts defined by the company, it may be best to resign because of possible negative implications and ineligibility for...

TL;DR in English: Remain calm and professional. Understand the full reasons you are being asked to resign. Know company policy for employment verification and reference checks. Know that you have the right to think it over.

. Snacks do break up the monotony of the flight as well as helping stave off any unexpected hunger in between airline meals. If you're on a restricted diet or just want to snack without paying $5 for a tiny bag of Pop Chips or Chex Mix, then taking your own snacks is the way to go. This will also make it a bit easier for you to eat whenever you want, instead of waiting for the stewardesses to come around. Here are some snacks that won't spoil and will leave you feeling satiated while giving you a boost of energy:  Apples Trail mix Almonds, cashews, or pistachios A granola bar (as long as it doesn't crumble too much) Yogurt-covered raisins Pretzels Dried mango or bananas Airline travel is dehydrating, so stick to drinking water and plenty of it. Though you can't take a bottle of water past security, you can buy one near the terminal before you board your flight. You should also accept any chance you get to get a cup of water, because you don't know the next time the stewardess can come around. Of course, you can usually ask for water at the back of the plane or even by pushing the "call" button, but it's easier to simply accept the water when it comes your way. Of course, while it's very important to drink water, you also don't want to be running to the bathroom every five minutes to pee, especially if you have a window seat and are worried about inconveniencing the people in your row. Find a balance between staying hydrated and not having your bladder feel full the whole time. Keep in mind that it's more important, though, to be hydrated with a full bladder than to be dehydrated and not have to pee. Eye drops help prevent your eyes from drying out in flight. Though they aren't mandatory, they really can help you if you experience the dry eyes that many people have during a flight. It can be pretty uncomfortable if you realize that your eyes are getting dry in the first hour of a ten-hour flight and there's nothing you can do about it. Just make sure that your container of eye drops is small enough that you...

TL;DR in English: Bring healthy snacks Prepare to drink a lot of water. Take eye drops if your eyes tend to get dry. Stay active on the plane. Take any medication that you may need.

If you're having a hard time connecting to the opera, try comparing it to something you do understand. If you love fashion, for example, study the intricate costumes. Or if you're a Broadway fan, think about the similarities and differences of opera and musicals. Focusing on the elements you do understand can keep you from getting bored. Sometimes, sitting still for too long during an opera can make people feel restless. Don't stay in your seat during the intermission. Use it as an opportunity to stretch your legs, talk to your neighbor, or get a quick snack outside. Pay attention to how long the intermission lasts so you can get back to your seat by the next act. Opera is known for expressing powerful feelings through the dialogue and song. Immerse yourself in the emotional experience: laugh at the comedic parts, gasp during surprises, and cry when the characters face tragedy. Putting yourself in the characters' perspectives can make opera a fun and cathartic experience.  Operas are made to stand on their own as a form of expression without necessarily knowing the language. Don't worry too much about understanding the characters or the plot. You can still appreciate the music abstractly. If you tend to tear up when you feel strong emotions, you may want to bring some tissues just in case. Unlike musical theater, opera patrons often clap during the production. But there is still some structure as to whether the audience should clap—after a particularly moving aria or act is most acceptable. If you're not sure whether to clap, watch the audience and try to follow their lead. If you want to compliment a particular singer, shout bravo (male), brava (female), or bravi (gender neutral/plural).

TL;DR in English: Relate the opera to something that you enjoy. Take a break during the intermission. Let yourself run with the emotional intensity of opera. Wait until others clap before applauding.

For guitars that use nylon strings, lubricating your strings is unnecessary. Nylon strings are already corrosion resistant. If you have a guitar that has steel strings, however, you'll want to use some lubricant to keep them from getting sticky, dirty, and corroded. You can check the product packaging for the strings you have to find out what they're made of. If you do not have the product packaging anymore, a good rule of thumb to follow is to consider the kind of guitar you have and the genres it's made to play. Acoustic and flamenco guitars that focus on classical and folk music usually possess nylon strings; electric and bass guitars associated with blues, country, and rock and pop music are more likely to have steel strings. You can use the same rag that you used to clean the grime off from before by flipping it over and using the clean side. If you feel it's too dirty and the oils from your hands have sunk into the "clean" side, then you can use an entirely new rag for this portion of the cleaning process. You will want to select a lubricant that doesn't contain a petroleum base when treating your guitar; these can have penetrating properties which may cause damage to your guitar over time.  Dunlop Lemon Oil, Tone Finger-Ease String Lubricant, or GHS Fast Fret are all commercial oiling products you can buy that are made specifically for guitars. If you need something cheap and readily available, you can try olive oil, baby oil, or Vaseline.  You never want to apply the lubricant directly to the strings as there is a good chance you'll get excess grease on the fretboard which will be difficult to clean up. Position and fold the rag the same way you did when removing the grime and run the cloth or towel from the bridge and saddle area to the the nut. Apply pressure to both sides of the strings using your fingers. When done properly, the strings should end looking noticeably shinier. They should also be oily and smooth to the touch.

TL;DR in English:
