Give yourself at least 2 months to sell your coins. Have your rare coins appraised and graded. Don’t clean your coins. Pay taxes on your profit. Keep records of the sale and of your original purchase.

Take two pieces of 9 by 12 inch (23 by 30 centimeters) plywood. You can purchase these at most hardware stores. Use a power drill to drill a hole in each corner. The precise size of each hole doesn't matter as long as you can fit wing nuts into the hole later. Purchase blotting paper at a craft store. Lay your fern leaves flat against one sheet of paper. Then, top this sheet of paper with a second sheet. Place the blotting paper that contains your ferns on one piece of plywood. Place the other piece of plywood on top of the first, sandwiching the ferns between your press. You can buy wing nuts at any hardware store. Screw your wing nuts into each hole. Twist the ends of the wing nuts to close your flower press tightly. Place your press somewhere where it will not be disturbed. Leave it for about three to four weeks so the ferns can dry out. When your ferns are done, they should be crisp, delicate, and dry to the touch.

TL;DR in English: Drill holes in plywood. Place your ferns between two pieces of paper. Sandwich the ferns between the plywood. Close your flower press with wing nuts. Remove the ferns after about a month.

Your financial institution likely has a rewards program through which you can start accumulating points towards free travel just by entering your email address and a few other details. These points can often be applied towards vacation packages, or else used to obtain discounts on travel by air, land, or sea. They can also be exchanged for frequent flyer miles on participating airlines. Bus companies like Greyhound and passenger train companies like Amtrak also have rewards programs through which you can accumulate points. Sign up for their rewards programs and make sure to log in to your account first before booking trips by bus or train so that each paid trip counts towards your point total. You may be sitting on a gold mine of potential free travel opportunities. Check out the relevant pages of your credit card company and learn what it takes to earn free travel opportunities.  Many cards have cash back opportunities where you receive a certain percentage of what you’ve spent on the card at the end of each month or year. If you can pay off the balance in full each month, consider increasing what you put on your card each month. The cash you get back may be enough for you to offer your next trip!  Many credit cards also provide points towards free travel when you eat at certain restaurants. If you can afford it, you may want to consider eating out at a couple of these places to increase your point total. Avoid those established by the credit card companies themselves. Instead, look for those set up by individuals who have successfully leveraged their credit cards for free travel. If there is considerable affiliate marketing on the page, that may be a sign to take the advice offered with a grain of salt. Many transportation companies sell gift cards that you can use to increase the points you need to earn free trips. A few gift cards for your birthday or Christmas could be just what you need to get to your next vacation spot! Your credit card company may offer sweepstakes whose entry fee is a certain number...

TL;DR in English: Enroll in credit card rewards programs. Review the terms of rewards programs for any credit cards you already have. Look online for websites that compare credit card rewards programs. Ask friends and family for travel gift cards to help you accumulate points. Enter sweepstakes with destination vacations as prizes.

Involve your child in the process of limiting their video game playing. Talk about not playing certain games that will be too exciting or take too long on school night, or come up with a reward system for following the video game rules.  For example, talk with a child about not trying to beat a level when they don’t have time. Instead, they can save that for the weekend. You and your child can brainstorm rewards for not breaking the rules for a week, month, or longer. Don’t give rewards of more video game time. Instead, find other fun rewards you can both agree on. Instead of getting rid of video games completely, slowly taper the amount of time your child can play. For example, if they spend every hour after school playing, limit that to one or two hours at first. Explain to your child why you are reducing their time playing video games, but let them know you respect that they enjoy the activity and still want them to play.  For example, you may say, “You get angry and have verbal outbursts when I tell you to stop playing video games. Your grades have fallen over the last few months because of your video games. This is unacceptable. I want you to be able to enjoy them, but we are going to limit how long you can play each day.” Cutting off video games completely at first will more than likely backfire. You want to limit your child’s behavior, not take away something they enjoy completely. Ending video game time may be difficult, and your child may not be able to switch out of that mode immediately. Help your child by giving them a physical activity that marks the end of their video game time. This can help them get used to switching from that to non-video game life.  For example, you can try specific language that signals a switch. Say something light like, “You are being called back to the RW from fantasy land! Welcome back!” Set up a physical marker. Give your child a glass of water, stretch with them, or do a few jumping jacks. Get your child away from the video games by setting up family time where the...

TL;DR in English: Work with your child on techniques to stop playing video games. Reduce the time for video games slowly. Set up a transition routine. Establish family time. Help your child learn how to save their game progress.

Their freakishly long legs make them very fast so you'll have to be quick.  Centipedes don't usually invade homes in large numbers, so you may be able to get rid of your problem just by stomping on, or bug-spraying, every one you see. Note that if you are afraid to even approach or be near the centipede, even vacuum cleaners won't be useful. If you don't want to kill the centipede, you can try to catch it in a jar and release it outside, but this usually leads to a high-pitched scream, a broken jar, and a free centipede. Just place them in corners and crevices where centipedes tend to hunt. You may also catch other insects that are sneakily crawling around your home. Know that larger centipedes that walk over sticky or glue traps may escape by simply leaving behind a couple legs. Sticky traps are most effective for smaller centipedes, not larger ones. Keep in mind that insecticides are only temporary solutions. Any garden supply store will carry these products. Just make sure to follow the package directions.  Even though these products shouldn't kill pets or humans, it's best not to have prolonged contact with them.  Sticky traps could possibly alert you to heavy traffic areas, allowing you to spray these areas or place more sticky traps. If one of your sticky traps turns out to be really popular and none of your other ones do, chances are the popular one is where you should focus most of your attention. If you want to kill the centipedes, but you don’t want to poison the earth, yourself, or your pets, you can use natural pesticides like boric acid or food grade diatomaceous earth for continual centipede control.  Products containing pyrethroids (cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, permethrin or tralomethrin) will exterminate centipedes on contact, and can be used as a fog or spray. Whether it's chemical insecticide, natural insecticide, or other, think about creating a moat-like barrier around the outside of your house. Because centipedes originate outside and come inside. When they...

TL;DR in English: Kill them on sight! Try setting up sticky traps. Try an insecticide if none of these natural remedies work. Put down a barrier around your entire home. Look for professional help.

If you rush the selling process, you can be sure you won’t fetch the best possible price. Researching dealers and getting multiple offers takes time. If you’re going with another option, you’ll also need plenty of time to research auction houses or track down collectors. Start your valuation process by checking online price guides. If you think you have a coin that could be worth $100 (USD) or more, have it professionally appraised, graded, and certified. If its rarity and condition have been certified by a third party organization, you’ll have an easier time selling it.  A reputable dealer who’s a member of a collector’s guild will probably offer a free appraisal if you’re negotiating a sale. While you should genuinely be open to making a deal, you won't be obligated to sell your coins after the dealer offers an appraisal. When buying rare coins, knowledgeable coin collectors look for the CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) seal: http://www.caccoin.com. Getting certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PGCS) is another industry standard: https://www.pcgs.com. You’ll have to send your coin to the organization and pay for the appraisal and grading. This takes time and money, but it’s worth it if you have an extremely rare coin that’s worth a small fortune. You might be tempted to get your coins nice and shiny before trying to sell them. However, oxidized coins (coins with a brownish tinge) are usually more valuable than bright, shiny coins, especially if they’re old or rare. For example, you’d never want to clean ancient Roman coins. Removing the patina that shows an ancient coin’s age dramatically affects its value. Remember that you might have a tax liability after selling your coins. Depending on your location, you might be liable for 20 to 30 percent of the difference between the selling price and how much you originally paid for the item. If you sold a coin that you paid a lot of money for, it’s vital to have a record of your original purchase. Otherwise, your taxes might be based on the...

Get all your ingredients ready. Choose your noodles. Get the right kind of dish.

While toner will wash out eventually, you probably don't want a ring of purple skin framing your face for the next week or so. Scoop up a dollop of petroleum jelly or another thick moisturizer with your index finger and run it along any skin that is normally in contact with your hair. (Don't forget your ears!) The petroleum jelly will block your skin from absorbing the dye. If you didn't bleach immediately before this step, remember that your hair should be unwashed. Color will grip dirty hair better than it will hair that is clean. After you've bleached your hair, it will likely be a pale yellow. Because purple is at the opposite side of the color wheel, purple toner will balance out the "brassiness" of yellow. The end result will be closer to a neutral white and ready for the gray dye.  Wear gloves when applying toner to avoid staining your hands. Begin with damp hair. If you haven't just done the bleach step, use a spray bottle to spritz your hair with some lukewarm water. Dip a tint brush into your toner. If your toner is packaged in a bottle, squeeze it into a bowl first. Brush the toner on from roots to tips. Start with the hair in back of your head and work forward. Make sure all of your hair is evenly coated. If your hair is thick, clip already-coated hair to the side to get to the layer underneath. You don't have to cover your hair, but a cap or plastic wrap will help to prevent staining. After 20 minutes, rinse the toner out with warm water. Wrap a towel around your hair and gently squeeze out the excess water.  If you're using permanent hair dye, allow your hair to air dry first. If your dye is semi-permanent, apply it while your hair is still damp. Reapply your petroleum jelly barrier first if it was washed away while rinsing out the toner. With a tinting brush, apply your gray dye in the same way you did your toner. At this stage, be especially careful to keep application even. Wear gloves when applying dye. Run your hair under warm water until the water begins to run clear. Rinsing in the shower...

TL;DR in English: Apply a layer of petroleum jelly around your hairline and face. Start with purple toner. Leave the toner to set for 20 minutes. Add in your dye. Leave the dye in for roughly a half hour before rinsing.

Water that is too cold will cause your throat to contract, making it harder to chug as quickly as you would like. Hot water will burn the lining of your throat, making it painful to go on – and perhaps causing lasting damage. If you want to chug more quickly, drink from a container that has a wide mouth: A glass, a pitcher, a mason jar. Most water bottles feature a very narrow bottleneck, which slows the water as it pours from the container.  Technically speaking, you will be able to chug the most water at once from a bottleneck that most perfectly matches the size of your mouth. Bear in mind that your throat may not be able to keep up with this volume of water. If you do use a plastic water bottle, you can try scrunching the end of the bottle as you chug. This will force the water out of the bottle more quickly than it would flow otherwise. Again, bear in mind that faster does not mean healthier. If you flood your system with water, you may not be able to keep up with yourself. This could lead to choking, bloating, and water intoxication. If the water source doesn't limit the speed at which the water can pour into your throat, you will need to manually regulate the flow. Don't tip the container on its end – keep the water coming out at a manageable rate.

TL;DR in English: Make sure the water is at a comfortable drinking temperature. Chug from a wide-mouthed container. Don't chug too quickly.

If you think your landlord still needs more persuading after you’ve approached them, you should offer to pay an extra deposit. This deposit will cover any damage your cat may make to the property.  Pet deposits might be refundable or nonrefundable. A new deposit could range from $200 to even a full month’s rent. Its best to assure your landlord that there won’t be any damage – and that you simply want to assure them of this by providing an extra deposit. Make sure you and your landlord sign a formal agreement that grants you permission to have a cat if you provide a pet deposit. This could be in the form of a new lease or an addendum. If an extra deposit isn’t enough incentive for your landlord, you can offer to pay extra rent specifically for your pet. Extra money a month, possibly in addition to another deposit, might just be enough to convince your landlord.  Pet rent can range from $10 to $20 extra a month. It may also represent a percentage of the total rent. Work with your landlord to determine an appropriate pet rent. Have your landlord draft a new lease or an addendum that acknowledges your agreement. If other incentives have failed, you can offer to sign a longer lease. Suggest that you will either renew your current lease for a year or add on another year in addition to whatever remains on your current agreement. In the end, this is probably the best way for your landlord to make money and save time associated with finding a new tenant.

TL;DR in English: Offer an extra deposit. Pay pet rent. Offer to sign a longer lease.

Mosquito larvae are very small, so make sure you purchase a small aquarium net designed to capture tiny aquatic life. Nets designed for brine shrimp will work perfectly. You can also use an eye dropper to capture individual or small groups of eggs or larvae.  Make sure to transfer the larvae or eggs into your aquarium quickly so they don’t die before your fish can eat them. Pouring your water container into your aquarium is not advised, as you may not want to introduce the algae and debris in the mosquito’s water to your tank. Most fish probably will not immediately eat the small egg “boats” but they will attack the “wrigglers” or larvae as they emerge from the eggs. This is the best way to ensure your mosquito larvae don’t grow into full grown pests in your backyard.  It’s okay if your fish eat the egg boats before they hatch. These eggs will usually hatch within 48 hours of being laid, so you may not find them very often. You are much more likely to encounter larvae than unhatched eggs because of how quickly eggs hatch. Mosquito larvae will come to the surface regularly to breath. Larvae will shed their skin as they grow, so you may find empty bits of larvae skin. Fish are unlikely to eat shed skin.  Larvae appear to have antennae which are actually siphon tubes used for breathing. Larvae that enters the pupa stage will look as though they have developed a head and will no longer feed on algae. These can be fed to fish, but should otherwise be washed down the drain as it is the last stage before flying. Even if you have more larvae than you can feed your fish, it’s important that you purge your developing larvae on a weekly basis. Depending on the environment, mosquito eggs can develop into full grown, flying pests in as little as four days or as long as two weeks.  To avoid cultivating a swarm of mosquitoes in your yard, purge any larvae your fish don’t eat by pouring the water down the drain. Pouring your water out in your yard may not prevent the larvae from becoming full grown mosquitoes. Your fish...

TL;DR in English: Use an eye dropper or small net to catch your larvae. Place unhatched egg boats in your fish tank. Capture larvae “wrigglers” and place them in your fish tank. Harvest your larvae weekly. Dispose of dead larvae.

This means any cold ingredients, like cheese, hot ingredients, like meat or grilled vegetables, and your sauces. Make sure you have a clear and clean workspace and everything is within easy reach.  Keep things organized by separating your ingredients into individual bowls on your counter space. If you are making a meat lasagna, try minced beef, chicken, or pork mixed with a little bit of bacon and seasoned with herbs. Make sure your meat is fully cooked before layering it into your lasagna. For vegetarian lasagna, try mushrooms, sliced zucchini, and fresh spinach. You can use no-boil or regular lasagna noodles. You must precook standard, dry lasagna noodles to soften them before you layer them into your lasagna, while no-boil noodles cook during the baking process. Choose your noodles based on preference and how much time you have. If you don't have a lot of experience making lasagna, you can make a lasagna a lot more quickly with no-boil noodles. For the layering effect of your lasagna to work, you'll need a deep, wide dish. You can use either a glass or metal dish. Pick the dish that is deepest and wide enough for the size of the lasagna you need to make.  A deep dish will require longer to cook than a shallow one. Glass is a poor conductor of heat, but it also distributes heat more evenly. Using a glass dish will help your lasagna cook more evenly and stay warm if you need to wait for someone to get home before serving dinner. Metals, especially aluminum, are generally better at conducting heat. They heat up quickly, but also can lose the heat quickly once removed from the oven. Using a metal dish may crisp the edges and bottom of your lasagna more than a glass dish would. Also, because metal dishes lose heat quickly, you won't want to wait too long before serving.

Get your equipment ready. Buy a company vehicle. Hire or subcontract workers as needed. Create a pricing structure. Set up an accounting system.

This seems like a no-brainer, but it's easy to forget - different pictures will create different visual impressions in a given room. Unless you're going for an avant-garde, dissonant clash between your picture and the room it's hung in, try to match the picture to the purpose for the room. Classical landscape style paintings and portraits are great for living rooms, while smaller family photos are great for halls, staircases, bedrooms and bathrooms. Impressionistic paintings of fruit or cookware are an appetizing addition to kitchens. Use common sense - you know the impression you want your room to give visitors, so use pictures and paintings that help you achieve that impression. Abstract paintings can be incredibly vivid additions to a room - however, if you plan to hang a painting that's nothing more than an assortment of shapes and colors, you might want to make sure the colors match the rest of the room's décor (see: How to Match Colors.) One of any room's biggest assets is its sense of space. A high ceiling can make you feel like you're in a chapel. Large windows can guide your sight toward the horizon. Don't let your pictures obstruct a room's natural sense of space!  Too many pictures can give a wall a cluttered " police evidence board" feel.  Pictures on a wall should never compete for space - if you have to move old pictures around to make room for a new one, you may want to consider a new home for your pictures. Many walls are best-suited by only one or two pictures.  Or no images at all. If you've got great wallpaper, a killer rug, or an amazing centerpiece, don't be too hasty to distract attention with imposing collections of pictures. A large picture can make a cramped room seem larger. Similarly, pictures hung high on the wall will improve a room's dimensions by distracting attention from the imposing wall surfaces at the viewer's eye-level. For instance, a gorgeous print high on the wall of a cramped bathroom will lend the stuffy room a sense of dignity. Use big pictures, if possible, but...

TL;DR in English: Choose pictures with appropriate style for your room. Respect the space by not crowding your walls. Blow up small rooms with big pictures. Don't allow huge rooms to dwarf your pictures. Be conscious of furniture placement. Tailor your picture placement to suit the room's function.

The carpet tool has a flat metal runner on the bottom, a handle on the top, and a blade on one edge. Press the tool flat against the carpet and right up against the baseboard on the sharp side. Push it along the wall, applying pressure as you do.  You can use a box cutter for this purpose, but it must have a new, sharp blade. Run it underneath the baseboard to cut the carpet. If it starts getting dull, replace the blade. Also, use a box cutter to cut out spaces for your floor vents. Look along the edge of the strip you cut off. Make sure no strings are connecting the strip to the main carpet, then pull it up and away from the carpet. If you yank up the strip without checking, you might pull fibers from the carpet that cause a run. This tool has a wide, dull blade that lets you press the carpet in place. Use it to wedge the carpet under the baseboard by pressing into the carpet until it settles in place. If you took doors off, put them back in place. Put the door stops back. If you took up floor vents, screw them back in place. Move your furniture and belongings back in place, and you're done!

TL;DR in English: Run a carpet trimming tool along the edge. Check that you cut cleanly through the carpet before taking the strip off. Press the edge of the carpet under the baseboard with a carpet chisel. Return any hardware you removed.

If you work as a cashier or with a cash register, you should always state the purchase price aloud to the customer and then state the amount of money that they handed you. Let's say the purchase price is $5.22, and the buyer hands you a ten-dollar bill. You would say, $5.22 out of $10. This will help both you and the customer remember the purchase price and amount of money given. You can then begin to calculate the amount of change in your mind. You should never put the cash directly into the till in case you forget the exact amount they gave you. Instead, keep the money on the counter so that you can see the exact amount of money given as well as the total price. These are the two numbers you will need in order to calculate the amount of change owed to the customer. By keeping the cash visible, you can refer back to it if necessary. For example, the customer may think they gave you a $20 instead of a $10. By keeping the amount they paid out of the till until the end of the transaction, you can avoid this sort of confusion. If you are working with a cash register, then you can usually rely on the cash register to do the calculations for you. For example, if the cost of an item is $5.23 and the customer pays $10, you should enter the amount paid as $10 and the cash register will provide the amount that you owe the customer. In this case, the customer is owed $4.77. Count out $4.77 from the till, beginning with bills and moving to coins.  Make sure that you familiarize yourself with the cash register that you are using so that you know how to properly cash out a customer. If you ever run into any errors while using a cash register, ask your manager or a colleague for help. If you do not have a cash register, or it is broken, or you entered an item incorrectly, you can always count out change using mental math. This is an excellent skill to have and is essential if you are working as a cashier. A good method is to count out change from the purchase price and stop when you get to the amount paid. Begin with the...

TL;DR in English: State aloud the purchase price. Place the money on the register or counter. Count out change based on what the cash register has calculated. Determine change using mental math. Count change aloud to the customer.

From Hamlet's famous inner turmoils to Quint's harrowing WWII story in Jaws, monologues can be used in drama to add depth to a character. Monologues give us an arrow into characters' insights and their motivations. It's less a plot device (though it should always serve to move the plot forward) than a character study that happens out loud. Get familiar with some of the classic monologues of theatre and film to study the form. Check out:  The sales speech that opens David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross" Hamlet's monologues The "I could have been a contender" speech in "On the Waterfront" The "I ate the divorce papers" speech from "Goodbye Charles," by Gabriel Davis Masha's "I'm telling you this because you're a writer" speech in Chekhov's "The Seagull" Draped-in-a-flag Bill the Butcher giving the "Honorable man" speech in "Gangs of New York" A play written for the stage or the screen will be a complicated series of dialogs, actions, and silences. Knowing when to allow a monologue to surface in the plot will take some practice. You'll want to have most of the plot essentials and the characters figured out before worrying about monologues. They should emerge organically as the script dictates.  Some monologues are used to introduce characters, while some scripts will use monologues to allow a taciturn character to suddenly speak up and change the way the audience feels about them. In general, a good time in the script to use a monologue would be at moments of change, when one character needs to reveal something to another character. For a true monologue, another character must be present to hear the speech. If not, it's a soliloquy. The soliloquy is a classical technique not commonly used in contemporary drama, but is still sometimes used in one-person plays and experimental theatre. Inner monologues or voice over narration are a different category of exposition, more like a dramatic aside to the audience than a monologue. Monologues need to assume the presence of other characters who hear the action, providing an...

TL;DR in English: Study famous monologues. Use monologues at the appropriate time. Learn the difference between a monologue and a soliloquy. Always use monologues to show change in a character. Give your monologue a beginning, middle, and end.

Knowing the underlying causes may help you find the best pain remedy, as well as help you to prevent future canker sores.  Sodium lauryl sulfate, an ingredient in many toothpastes and mouth rinses, may cause a reaction in your mouth which leads to a canker sore. Food sensitivities to things like chocolate, coffee, strawberries, eggs, nuts, cheese, and spicy or acidic foods or a diet  lacking in vitamin B-12, zinc, folate (folic acid) or iron may cause canker sores. Minor, localized injuries to your mouth, such as biting the inside of your cheek, a sports accident, or brushing your teeth too vigorously, may inflame the tissue and cause an ulcer.  Wear a mouthguard during contact sports to prevent accidental cheek biting or other damage from your teeth. Use only a toothbrush with a soft head to brush your teeth. Some diseases and conditions, such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Behcet’s disease, and various autoimmune disorders may make you more prone to mouth ulcers. Ask your doctor for more ways to prevent mouth ulcers in your circumstances. Sometimes a misaligned or sharp tooth, or dental implements such as braces or dentures, rub against the inside of your cheek, irritating your canker sore. A homemade wax “cap” can protect ease the pain by protecting the sore from that friction.  Melt 1 tablespoon of beeswax and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil together. After it has cooled, press a small amount over the area of your tooth or dental devices that rubs the sore. If you have braces, use enough wax that it creates an actual barrier, rather than just pushed into and around the brace. If the canker sore has been caused by a sharp tooth or filling irritating the inside of your cheek, you should feel relief as soon as you seek treatment.  Your dentist will tell you if you are a candidate for recontouring. If your enamel is too thin, any filing may cause sensitivity to temperature that may be painful.  Your dentist can "recontour" your teeth by removing tiny bits of enamel with a sanding disc or a fine...

TL;DR in English: Talk with your doctor about your health and diet choices that may be causing your mouth ulcer. Protect your mouth from traumatic injury. Talk with your doctor about your overall health. Make a wax “cap” for sharp teeth or dental devices. Visit your dentist to repair a sharp tooth or filling. Reduce your stress

Depending on what services you're offering, you'll need to purchase equipment such as floor cleaning supplies, trash bags, an industrial vacuum cleaner, and so on to set up your business. Get heavy-duty equipment that will be able to endure a lot of wear and tear and last for many years.  Make sure you have the right safety equipment to keep you and any employees you might hire safe on the job. Gloves and masks are a necessity if you're going to be handling toxic cleaning chemicals. Try renting equipment for the first few weeks so you'll have the chance to make sure it's up to your standards before making a purchase. You'll need a car, truck or van for transportation to and from your cleaning jobs. You may be able to use vehicles from an employer or other source, but if not, you'll need to lease or buy your own business vehicle. Reliable transportation is crucial for providing cleaning services to clients.  The look of your company vehicle is important. Driving around in a van that's run down with a lot of chips and dents isn't good advertisement for your company. Consider having your logo screen printed on your vehicle as a way to advertise. Cleaning services may start up as sole proprietorships, where the owner/operator actually does all of the work, because cleaning doesn't have to require many sets of hands. However, as your business grows, you may need to hire more people. Make sure you know about all of the legal requirements around this process as well. Also make sure you know your workers well. Taking into account the cost of labor, materials, and overhead, figure out how much to charge for your services you'll be making a profit. Do research to determine what the industry standards are for services like floor cleaning and janitorial services. You're free to negotiate prices with each new client, but it's good to have a baseline in mind so you'll be able to stay in business. You'll need to keep track of what your clients owe by sending them invoices that lay out requirements for payment. Let your...

Online retailers will often offer phones for far lower costs than brick-and-mortar stores or major carriers. Examples of popular websites to purchase smartphones include Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay. These websites offer immense selection and have convenient search features.  When searching online, use the features you know you want to help narrow your results. For instance, most sites will allow you to use filters to narrow it down to phones that contain a specified amount of storage with a camera above a certain number of megapixels. Check the website’s return policy before purchasing a phone online. Do not buy from a website that does not accept returns or that charges a restocking fee. Whether you buy your smartphone online or in person, you can likely pay off the cost in monthly installments.  This will allow you to prevent paying a large lump sum upfront.  Note that many retailers will allow you to pay off your phone in installments without signing a service contract. This is different from major carriers, which have business models that revolve around locking your into a contract. Avoid interest if possible. If interest is charged on the amount you owe each month, you’ll wind up paying more for your phone in the end. Even online retailers like eBay offer ways to purchase a phone on installments.  The website's BillMeLater option allows you to make monthly payment, though it does cost interest. Amazon offers installment payment plans for Amazon products only. The expensive smartphones you see advertisements for aren’t the only ones available. In fact, phone manufacturers are making more and more high quality phones for more affordable prices.  Some mid-range, or "affordable flagship" phones aren’t even available on contracts and can only be purchased online, directly from the manufacturer. Last generation phones can usually be purchased from all sorts of retailers, including major carriers. These are often much cheaper than the newest models, and may not differ substantially.  For instance, the newer...

TL;DR in English: Shop for smartphones online. Pay for your phone in monthly installments. Buy a last-generation or “mid-range” phone from manufacturers.

This includes formulas, keywords, vocabulary, dates, definitions, names, conjugations, etc. The font should always be clear to read, and in the Goldie Locks size (not too big, not too small). While you would want to include as much as possible on the small sheet of paper, remember if the font is too small you will overly focus on your cheat-sheet thereby increasing your chances of getting caught. Also if it is possible to print-out your cheat sheet, do that. It will reduce the chances of your teacher or professor being able to trace it back to you. This is most common for spelling tests. Copy down the spellings in your spelling book to a piece of paper, then put it on your lap or up your sleeve. This is a high-risk method, so be careful. Try the "Body Part Cheat-Sheet" method. Instead of printing out the cheat sheet, try writing it on a part of your body. Good places include your forearm if you are a man or your upper thigh if you are a woman. These are both great because you can wear a dress or long sleeve shirt to cover up your cheat sheet when you aren't using it. It's important to not make it obvious that there is writing on your body. Put the words in a place that faces you only.  Try the "Water Bottle Cheat-Sheet" method. Print out the cheat sheet on a coloured piece of paper that matches that label of your water bottle. Paste it on the label and turn it so that it only faces you. Ideally, you want to mimic the writing on the label to avoid suspicion.   Try the "Binder Cheat-Sheet" method. If you have a binder that has a clear slot in the front, slide your cheat sheet into there. Move your binder from under your desk to the side of your desk to peek at your cheat sheet. Try to minimise the amount of slide, especially if you don't have carpet in your classroom.  Try the "Calculator Cheat-Sheet" method. This is common for people who are taking math tests because that's the only reasonable time to have a calculator without being suspicious. Slide formulas or information terms between the back of the...

TL;DR in English: Start by gathering the information you will need. Write or print the information correctly. Copy it down. Hide the sheet.

The most simple distillation system uses a round-bottomed glass flask (or boiling flask), a condensing unit, and a second glass container for the separated liquid, or distillate. Using a fractional (or fractionating) column inserted between the boiling flask and the condensing unit is recommended for separating alcohol and water.  The simple distillation system requires the two liquids have a large difference in boiling points. The simple distillation system uses less heat, and is easier to set up, but provides less accuracy in separating alcohol from water. Another word for the closed distillation system is a still, which is derived from the word distillation. The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F), and the boiling point of alcohol is 78 °C (172 °F) Celsius. Thus, alcohol evaporates into steam quicker than water.  Use a heat source whose temperature can be quickly raised or lowered, such as a heating mantle or bunsen burner, but these may be hard to control the temperature. You can also use a standard propane or electric heating source. The fractionating column is a straight glass cylinder lined with metal rings, or glass or plastic beads. These rings or beads help trap the less volatile gases at the lower levels of the column.  As the vapor rises from the distilling liquid, only the most volatile liquid rises to the top. In a mixture of alcohol and water, alcohol would make its way to the top ring. Insert a thermometer to gauge the temperature of the gases inside the system. As the vapor makes its way into the condensing column, it will be in a cooler setting. Being in this cooler place, it will revert into liquid, i.e., condense.  The distillation process goes heating, evaporating, cooling, and finally, condensing. As the vapor condenses to a liquid, it will become heavier. The liquid alcohol will then drop into the collection vessel. The condensing column may be lined with cooling water to speed the process.

TL;DR in English: Create a closed system for distillation. Heat the alcoholic water mix in the round-bottomed flask to 80 °C (176 °F). Insert a fractionating column into the mouth of the flask. Allow the vapor to cool and condense.

Start by laying in the basic starting position, then raise your torso and your legs so they’re slightly off of the floor. Perform the jack knife sit up as usual, but try to keep your torso and legs from touching the floor when you release from the position. For a side jack knife, start by lying on your left side. Bend your right arm so that your hand is behind your head and rest your left arm on the floor for support. Contract your obliques, bringing your right shoulder and hip toward each other while you lift your right leg. Take a deep breath before you begin, then exhale as you lift your leg and arm. Inhale as you return to your starting position. To do a jack knife on an exercise ball, you’ll start in a push-up position with your hands on the ground, about shoulder-width apart. Your shins should be resting securely on the ball. Roll the ball inwards, bending your knees until your thighs touch your stomach. Roll the ball backwards to return to your starting position. Once you're balanced on the ball, take in a deep breath, then exhale as you roll your knees in towards your chest. Inhale when you extend your legs again.

Hamsters need a pelleted food, rather than muesli or seed mix, to prevent selective feeding and ensure your hamster gets all the nutrients it requires. Provide your hamster with enough food each day to fill both cheeks, approximately 15g (1/2oz) for a Syrian hamster or 8g (1/4oz) for a Dwarf hamster. Make sure you provide fresh food in their bowl every day.  If you want to change your hamster's food, wait a few weeks after taking it home; then gradually introduce the food over a period of ten days. Your hamster is a hoarder, so it'll keep private stashes. Removing these stashes can be very stressful, so if you are worried about the quality of their stored food, remove it and replace it with fresh food exactly where your hamster had it.  Choose an earthenware or metal dish for their food. This is the best type of feeding bowl as your hamster will simply chew through a plastic one. Your hamster won't drink much water at all, but when it does get thirsty, it is important that water is available. Do not put it in a dish, as the bowl can get dirty very easily, and your hamster may get wet and die. Instead, use a water bottle or dispenser. Change it every day if possible to keep the water fresh, or once every 3 days maximum. The water bottle can be cleaned by placing uncooked rice and a little water in the bottle and then shaking it vigorously. The rice will dislodge any algae build-up. Remember to remove all the uncooked rice before returning the water bottle back to the cage. Seed mixtures allow the hamster to be picky and to select the tastier, less healthy items. Offer the pellets or blocks as the main or staple diet, and offer the seed mixture as a supplement. Make sure the hamster has ingested a good ration of pellets or blocks before offering the seed mixture. Make your hamster search for it. If you place it in a bowl, your hamster may become overweight and less interested in physical activity. This includes things such as candy, pasta, raw meat/fish, sugar, and desserts. Hamsters can develop diabetes. Foods...

TL;DR in English: Feed the hamster every day. Have water ready and available at all times. Use fortified pellets or block-type food. Spread the food around the cage and hide it in toys and tunnels. Avoid “human” foods. Give it treats. Give your hamster a chew stick.

When cleaning an acrylic bath tub, avoid using any aerosol or acetone cleaners. The chemicals in those cleaners can eat through the acrylic of your tub. To clean acrylic bathtubs, use a mild dish soap with warm water. Wet the sides of the tub and a soft sponge with warm water. Apply a small amount of a mild dish soap to the sponge and gently scrub the tub. You should avoid using wire brushes or scrubbing pads as these can scratch the acrylic and ruin it. Instead of using cleanser on hard water stains on your bathtub, try rubbing lemons over the stains. Let the lemon juice sit on the stain for a few minutes, and then rinse with water and before drying it with a microfiber cloth.

TL;DR in English: Don’t use aerosol cleaners on acrylic bath tubs. Use mild dish soap on acrylic tubs. Use lemons to remove hard water stains.

Your adjuster will have more knowledge about your claim than any agent or representative with your insurance company. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to communicate directly with him on any issues you're confused or unsatisfied with.  Decisions you may be confused or unsatisfied with include those based on your application of coverage, the timing of when you filed your proof of loss, or the damage estimate. Contact your adjuster on these and similar matters before speaking to an insurance agent. If you are still not clear on why a decision was reached, or if you do not agree with that decision, you can then move on to the adjuster's supervisor. Ask your adjuster for his supervisor's contact information, and reach out to the supervisor before notifying an insurance agent. If your adjuster's supervisor is unable to help you, or if you still do not agree with his decision, you may then move on to your insurance company. The adjuster himself, as well as his supervisor, should be appealed to first, as they will have greater knowledge about your damage and the claim you filed. Contact your insurance agent through your usual means of communication, or look up the contact information for a representative at your insurance company. If you're still unclear on what's happening with your claim, or if you still have outstanding issues that are not being handled properly, you may contact the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). They can help clarify the process and may be able to help you mount an appeal if you did not have any luck with your adjuster, his supervisor, or your insurance company.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your adjuster first. Move on to the adjuster's supervisor. Contact your insurance company. Reach out to FEMA.

Immediately stop doing any activity that involves your elbow if you’ve just been injured. If you’re not sure how you hurt your elbow, avoid all activities that cause you pain or discomfort in your elbow. Try to use the affected elbow as little as possible and avoid any movement that irritates it. Examples of activities to avoid include:  Sports where you throw, catch, or hit a ball with a racket Repetitive motions, such as hammering Lifting heavy objects Supporting your bodyweight with your arms, such as doing push-ups Wrap an ice pack with a clean dish towel or paper towel and press it against your affected elbow. Hold the ice pack in place for about 10 to 15 minutes and then remove it. Allow your skin temperature to return to normal before using another ice pack. Don’t apply ice to your bare skin. Doing this can cause frostbite and skin damage. If your elbow is causing you pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or acetaminophen. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for how much to take and how often to take it. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If an over-the-counter pain reliever does not help, call your doctor. You may have a more severe injury, such as a ligament tear. or splint to limit your movement. It can be difficult to remember not to move your elbow in a certain way, so wearing a counter-force brace that restricts your movement can be helpful in some cases. A brace may help to reduce muscle and tendon strain at the origin of the injury. Your doctor may recommend this if the injury is causing you severe pain or if you cannot avoid using your elbow and need to restrict its movement, such as on the job or while doing household chores.  A brace is most helpful in the first 6 weeks after an injury. Make sure to position the brace 6–10 in (15–25 cm) from your elbow joint so it is closer to your hand than your elbow.

TL;DR in English: Stop doing the activity that caused the injury. Apply ice to the affected elbow for 15 minutes 3 to 4 times daily. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Wear an elbow brace

You can easily get the materials needed to create a whitewash look for furniture from your local home improvement store.  White latex paint Sandpaper, sanding block, or orbital sander Water Water based polyurethane, if you want a sealant. A cloth A bucket or container Paintbrush Whitewash looks best on raw wood so you need to use sandpaper, a sanding block, or an orbital sander to sand down the furniture. This will remove any finish already on the furniture for the whitewash paint to create the look you’re wanting. You need to remove all of the sawdust from sanding before painting the whitewash on the furniture to ensure a smooth finish. Use a dry tack cloth to wipe down the furniture and remove any dust on it. Add one part paint to one part water in a bucket or container, and mix well. This will thin down the latex paint making it look more like traditional whitewash when you paint it on the furniture by letting the natural wood grain show through the paint. Use a paintbrush to paint the whitewash onto the furniture using long brush strokes that follow the wood grain. Apply thin coats for the best results.  Work in small sections because whitewash dries quickly. Allow the paint to dry completely, and then add more coats until you reach your desired look. If desired, after the paint dries. you can paint a water-based polyurethane on the furniture to create a sealant and a finish. This is optional, but may make the whitewash look last longer. Choose between a matte or satin finish.

Stress is a physical response to something that might harm you in some way. In other words, it is your body’s way of protecting you from a perceived threat. People respond to stress in different ways. Some people go into what is known as “fight” mode when they are stressed, which causes them to become angry and agitated. Others may go into what is known as the “flight” mode and become withdrawn and depressed. Still others may go into “freeze” mode and seem incapable of doing anything when they are stressed. Depending on how you respond to stress, it may keep you up at night. For example, you may see failing an exam as a threat to your academic goals and go into “fight” mode. Therefore, your body may react by causing you to feel stressed so that you stay up late and study hard. But after you have finished studying, the effects of stress may wear on and keep you up at night. In this way, stress can be both beneficial and harmful. While you may benefit from studying, you still need your rest to function well. If you are so stressed that you cannot sleep, it is important to pinpoint the cause(s) of your stress. Figuring out what is bothering you and doing what you can to deal with the problem may help you to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. Consider what you are stressed about and how you can resolve the problem.  For example, if you are feeling stressed because of an upcoming exam, you may help to soothe your stress by studying well before the exam rather than waiting until the night before to cram. If you are dealing with something that is beyond your control, such as an illness, you may be able to soothe your stress by talking about the problem with a trusted friend or writing about it in a journal. Journaling is a helpful way to handle things that you can’t control but still may stress about, such as other people’s feelings or one day getting eaten by a freak land-shark in the middle of Kansas (worry isn’t necessarily rational). Try getting out all of your worries on paper. This can often...

TL;DR in English: Understand why stress keeps you up at night. Identify the cause of your stress. Journal about your stresses earlier in the day. Problem-solve. Set a “worry break. Plan the next day well before heading to bed. Try mindfulness techniques for sleep. Consider possible medical reasons why you are stressed. Consider getting help from a sleep specialist.

Some adhesives, such as "cut-back" adhesives and "mastic," were often mixed with asbestos up until the late 1980s, and are still occasionally used today. These adhesives were most commonly used to bond the floor to tiles or to heating and air ducts, not to carpets, and are often black in color. If you suspect your adhesive contains asbestos, do not use this method, as sanding or scraping the dry adhesive can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air. Refer to the solvent section instead, or hire a professional to remove the asbestos. Chipping and scraping off the old adhesive can be tedious, although not much more so than using a solvent. The main benefit is a lower risk of discoloring the wood or clogging its pores. After using this method, it should be easy to bond a new stain or finish to the wood. However, if there is an existing finish you plan to leave on, or if you plan to cover the floor with a new carpet, the solvent method may save you some time.  Note: renting a wet/dry vacuum from a tool rental service is highly recommended for quick, safe cleanup after the adhesive is removed. If you're lucky, the adhesive will chip right off when you apply pressure with a putty knife. Some areas may take more pressure than others. Only use a plastic putty knife, not metal, to avoid scratching the floor. If the adhesive only comes off in tiny chips, try making it easier to remove with dry ice as described below, or use solvents instead. Pick the widest putty knife you can find to make the task less tedious. If you plan to apply a new stain or finish to the floor, this is your best option for making adhesive removal easier without affecting the wood pores. Place pieces of dry ice in a cookie tray and slide the tray over each section of adhesive before you chip, to make the glue brittle and easier to remove. Always follow these safety precautions before you buy dry ice:  Wear thick gloves while handling dry ice, as the extreme cold can instantly cause painful skin damage. Always store and work with dry ice in...

TL;DR in English: Do not use this method on adhesives containing asbestos. Know the benefits of this method. Use a plastic putty knife to chip off the adhesive. Consider using dry ice. Dispose of the old glue. Sand the floor down (optional).

During your recovery period, avoid engaging in strenuous activity for at least a week after your surgery. Engaging in strenuous activity too soon can lead to injury and compromise the integrity of the surgical incisions.  Make sure that you do not schedule any important appointments or strenuous activity within two weeks of your breast augmentation surgery. Do not engage in any activity or exercise that requires you to use or engage your upper chest muscles. This includes activities such as jumping, running, swimming, tennis and horseback riding.' In particular, you should not swim or soak in water for three to four weeks after surgery. This can interfere with the healing process of your scars. If you do swim after this waiting period, be sure to change out of your suit (or bikini top) quickly, or put on a dry one, so that you are not soaking your still healing incisions.  Do not push, pull, or carry anything heavy for at least one week after your surgery. Ask your doctor what is a weight you can safely pick up and carry. After a breast augmentation surgery, a supportive bra (such as a sports bra) becomes your best friend that helps you adjust to the new size of your breasts and aids in the recovery.  Use an unlined sports bra during the first few weeks of your recovery period, as underwire can irritate your incision site.  Visit a department store or lingerie shop to get specially fitted for a sports bra to support your new breasts.  Although you may need to replace all your old bras, you should wait at least one month before shopping for new traditional bras and stick with the sports bra. Over-the-counter pain medications (such as acetaminophen) will help you manage your pain and discomfort after the surgery, but check with your doctor first to make sure it's okay to take them. In some cases, your doctor may also prescribe prescription pain medication for the first few days/weeks.  Whether you opt for over-the-counter or prescription medications, make sure that you take all medications responsibly and...

TL;DR in English: Avoid strenuous activity. Wear a supportive sports bra. Take pain medications. Get plenty of rest. Keep your follow up appointments. Apply a moisturizer that contains shea butter to your breasts. Sleep on your back for up to 10 days after surgery. Start a massage regimen. Recognize signs of complications and when to seek help. Understand the long-term safety and expectations.

Hold the head of the razor under a powerful stream of water. If it’s necessary to remove the blade in order to clean it, do so very carefully. Direct the water over the backside of the head, where it will help flush out hair, shaving cream residue and other gunk that’s stuck on the blade (or blades). It may help to rotate the razor as you rinse to help the water hit it from different angles.  Hot water works better than cold for loosening dried messes. Most of the time, a simple rinse is all you’ll need to renew your razor blades. Once you’re removed as much buildup as possible, set the razor aside somewhere out in the open to dry. It’s best to leave it in a well-ventilated space where it can be exposed to constant airflow. You can then put the razor away in its usual storage area.  Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust to form on the blade, which is both a safety concern and makes for a far less efficient shave.  Water-logged razors can also lead to unsanitary mold growth. Accelerate the drying process by dabbing the blade with an absorbent microfiber towel or blasting it with a hair dryer on a low heat setting.

TL;DR in English: Rinse off the razor blade. Allow the razor blade to dry completely.

TL;DR in English:


Choose your chilies. Select your oil. Experiment with flavors.

Being drunk can make you feel overconfident. When your inhibitions are lowered, you might feel like you can’t fail. This might make you want to show everyone your dance moves or a special talent. Similarly, it might make you feel confident enough to ask someone out or confess your feelings.  As an example, you might decide to dance when you normally don’t or you may show off your karaoke skills even though you’re usually too shy. It's okay to have fun, but don't risk your safety. Check in with your friends to make sure you're not putting your safety in jeopardy. For instance, doing karaoke may be fun and safe, but dancing on a bar might be dangerous if you're drunk. Consider if you’re feeling extremely happy, excited, or depressed. Similarly, watch for signs of mood swings, like feeling happy 1 minute and sad the next. It’s common to feel emotional when you’re drunk.  For instance, you might be dancing with your friends thinking this is the best night of your life, then suddenly crying about something that happened last year. Turn off your cell phone or ask a friend to hold onto it if you're feeling tempted to text people about things that happened in the past. For instance, if you're considering confronting your ex, give your phone to your friend. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, so you feel bolder than usual. This often makes you friendlier than normal, so may feel more comfortable talking to people you just met. Consider if you’re sharing secrets with people you don’t know or becoming instant friends with the people around you.  For instance, you might catch yourself telling a stranger about your family. Try to stick close to your friends or someone you know so that you stay safe. When you’re drunk, it’s normal to talk louder than usual, though you likely won’t notice this. However, people around you may ask you to lower your voice or might cover their ears. Similarly, it’s hard to speak clearly when you’re drunk, so people might ask you to repeat yourself or may respond with “what?”  People might say,...

TL;DR in English: Ask your friends if you're showing off. Notice if you’re laughing or crying a lot. Check if you're talking to a lot of people you don't know. Listen for complaints that you’re loud or slurring your speech.

Think about the "who, what, where, and when" of coming out.  Be sure about who you want to tell, and that you trust them.  Choose somewhere that is neutral and safe.  Consider spaces that are more private, where there aren't people who you know who could be eavesdropping.  Choose a time that won't feel rushed or shortened by other activities, events, or obligations. You don't want people to be distracted. Consider places that aren't at school or at work.  Avoid spaces where there are people you know and don't trust. Make sure that you want to come out, rather than feeling like you have to. Remember that this is your life, and how you come out is entirely up to you. Be confident in who you are, and share authentically about your experiences with being transgender. Understand your own identity at a transgender person.  It's your life, and you can decide how, and in what ways, to come out.  Be uniquely who you are and share from your experiences with being a transgender person. For example, you might share about what has been a struggle for you, such as feeling out of place among your peers. If coming to terms with being transgender has been a relief for you, then share this as well. Be thoughtful in how you describe and understand yourself as a transgender person. When talking about yourself as transgender, speak firmly with confidence. Be willing to be flexible and responsive to what others have to say. Consider saying, "I am confident that I am transgender.  I know that you may have questions or not know what to say. That's okay.  I'm open to listening." This process won't happen overnight, and will continue to shift and change as you and your loved ones understand more about being transgender.  Know that as you get older, go to different schools, get jobs, or interact with new people that you will still be coming out throughout your life.  Be patient with the process.  While it may be nerve-racking at first, being honest with yourself and others about who you are can be deeply gratifying and make you feel...

TL;DR in English: Identify the best time and place to come out. Be confident and authentic in coming out. Be patient when coming out. Sit and talk about coming out. Be prepared to respond to common questions and concerns. End the conversation if it is not going well. Consider the pros and cons of coming out via social media.

Get out a large baking sheet and put a large wire rack on it. The wire rack will allow air to circulate under the chicken as it bakes. This will make the chicken even crispier. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of a chicken thigh to ensure that it's reached 160 °F (71 °C). Keep in mind that the chicken will cook more when you put it into the oven to crisp up. If the chicken hasn't reached temperature, close the pressure cooker and turn it back on to high for 3 to 5 more minutes. Lift the steamer basket out of the pressure cooker and lay the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet. Take a paper towel and blot the chicken pieces until they're completely dry. If the chicken is very moist, you may need several paper towels. Turn off the oven and take the chicken out of the oven. Put the chicken on a platter and serve it immediately with your favorite sides. For example, serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, or biscuits. Refrigerate the leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep in mind that the chicken breading will become soggy as it's stored.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and set a rack on a sheet. Check the chicken temperature to see if it's reached 160 °F (71 °C). Remove the chicken and pat the pieces dry with a paper towel. Remove and serve the chicken.

For best results, plant the seeds indoors, 8–10 weeks before the last frost is expected in your area. In a pinch, seeds can be started in late spring or summer, but may not grow as quickly or healthily. Keep a seed tray or small pots indoors, and fill them with seed starting soil or potting soil. Coleus thrives in rich, well-draining material, so mix in peat moss or a similar, loose gardening medium if the soil is dense. Spread the seeds onto the soil. Cover them with a thin, ⅛ inch (3 millimeter) layer of the same soil. Do not bury them in the soil, as they require light to germinate. Water the seeds lightly but frequently, so the soil remains moist without becoming soggy. If the plants are kept in an arid environment, cover the trays or pots with plastic wrap to prevent them drying out.  To water seedlings in small pots, soak the pot in water. The water will work its way up into the soil. This is less disruptive to the young plants. Remove the plastic wrap as soon as you see seedlings emerge. Keep the seed trays at 70º Fahrenheit (21.1º Celsius) at all times, in an area of bright, indirect sunlight. Remove the plastic wrap, if present, as soon as the seedlings emerge. After a seedling has grown its first, small "seed leaf" and two sets of adult leaves, it can be safely transplanted to its own pot, or directly into the soil. Refer to the instructions in the care section below to continue handling your coleus plant.

TL;DR in English: Start the seeds in early spring. Prepare small containers of loose, rich potting soil. Sprinkle seeds over the soil. Keep the soil moist. Keep the seeds in warm, indirect sunlight. Transplant to a larger container.

A cattail torch is another type of minimalistic torch that requires only a few simple items. With this type of torch, the spike on the end of the plant will be soaked in flammable fluid. Along with the cattail, you'll also need:  Hollow reed, stick, cane, or bamboo piece Fuel Matches or lighter The best place to look for cattails is around the perimeter of lakes, ponds, marshes, and other wetland areas. You may also know this plant by the names reedmace, cumbungi, or bulrush. Because cattails are rather flimsy, you'll also need to find a hollow stick or cane that you can insert the cattail into. The stick will act as a holder. Make sure it’s at least 2 feet (61 cm) long. Place the cattail into your flammable liquid or oil. Let the cattail soak for at least an hour. This will give the spike time to absorb lots of oil, which means a longer burning torch. Good fuels for this purpose include diesel fuel, naphtha-based camp fuel, lighter fluid, or rendered animal or vegetable fat. When the cattail is done soaking, insert the bottom of the cattail into your hollow stick so the oil-soaked spike is protruding from the top of the stick. With a lighter or matches, hold a flame to the bottom of the spike until it ignites.  A cattail torch could give you up to six hours of flame.  Don’t burn these torches inside or near other flammable objects. Hold the torch away from your body to avoid burns.

TL;DR in English: Gather your supplies. Find a cattail. Soak the cattail with flammable liquid. Assemble and light the torch.

All chilies are not created equal, so you have options when it comes to your chili oil ingredients. While Thai chilies are quite spicy, Ancho chilies will give your oil a smokier flavor. California chilies are very mild, and guajillo chilies have spice with a citrus tang. Make sure you do a bit of research before selecting the chilies you’ll use for your chili oil. Before deciding which oil to use for this recipe, you should determine that you’ll be using the chili oil for. If you’re going to be cooking with it, it’s great to use more neutral oils like vegetable or peanut oils. However, if you’re going to be using it as a topper for dishes, you might want to select something a bit more flavorful. In this case, a great olive oil or sesame oil can add an interesting flavor. Once you’ve figured out this basic recipe, don’t be afraid to get creative. Try new chilies and new oils to create different types of chili oils. Once you’ve discovered which combinations you like most, you can officially create your own, homemade chili oil for every occasion.

Children need consistency and stability.  Avoid making them feel smothered with love one minute, and then the worst children in the world the next. It can make a child question who they are, and start to believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with them.  Take note of your emotions. Do you feel out of control with your emotions sometimes? Make sure to get help for yourself if it seems like your most common responses are filled with negativity or anger. Children won't likely understand what's wrong or bothering you, particularly if they are under 12 years old.  They are not yet equipped emotionally to handle emotional mixed messages. Strive to provide a stable environment for your children and avoid negativity as much as possible. If the environment is often negative, then a child may consider it their fault and this could cause them significant problems later on. If you're feeling low or down on yourself, it can be hard to help encourage others and boost their confidence. Children rely on adults to learn confidence and self esteem. Find time each day to make the child feel special.   Focus on saying one good and positive thing to your child each day that helps to boost their self-esteem. Give a warm hug to your child.

You may decide to stop taking tramadol on your own, but make sure to let your doctor know that you intend to stop. Your physician will be able to help you gradually reduce tramadol use in order to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Always seek medical attention as often as you feel it's necessary. The following is a list of symptoms that you will likely experience during your detox process, however you ultimately choose to detox. Should you experience any symptoms outside of the list, it is definitely advisable to contact your physician, or check in to a hospital or emergency room right away.  Diarrhea Headache Nausea and vomiting Respiratory issues Shivering Sweating Tremors Hair standing on end Stopping using Tramadol is somewhat different from detoxing from other opiates because of its anti-depressant effects. This means that the following psychological and mood-related symptoms also regularly occur when detoxing from tramadol:  Insomnia Anxiety Intense cravings for tramadol Panic attacks Hallucinations Tramadol withdrawal symptoms will typically peak 48-72 hours after the last dose. These symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.The severity of withdrawal symptoms will also depend on the level of tramadol use and dependence. Suboxone is a drug used for opiate detox, and it must be obtained by a physician who is certified to use it. It is used to prevent most withdrawal symptoms and prevent cravings.   Other drugs that ease withdrawal symptoms include clonidine, which reduces agitation, anxiety, and nausea, and buprenorphine, which shortens the timeframe of the detox.  If you want to taper your use, unassisted by other drugs designed for detoxification, it still may be in your best interest to look into prescription antidepressants. Because Tramadol has antidepressant properties, you may experience mild to moderate depression upon detoxing.

TL;DR in English: Talk to your doctor first. Learn the physical withdrawal symptoms. Expect mental withdrawal symptoms, too. Accept the timeframe of tramadol detox. Ask about the use of other medications.

Some insist that denim-on-denim can never be done, but a denim jacket can look great with denim jeans as long as you mix and match colors and washes. Match a blue denim jacket with jeans that are a noticeably different shade of blue. If your jacket is fairly dark, go for lighter blue jeans, and vice versa.  If you’re hesitant about blue denim on blue denim, black skinny jeans are an easy go-to for a blue jean jacket! Alternatively, you can also wear your jean jacket with colored jeans or white jeans.  However, if you choose a white or colored jean jacket, a pair of blue jeans will probably work just fine. If you’re not into jeans, no worries! Leggings, colored jeggings, and joggers are all very comfortable alternatives and are very in-style for women. Jeggings are a cross between jeans and leggings that are designed to be more stretchy than denim.  Khaki and olive green are jegging colors that tend to pair well with a classic blue jean jacket, as they prevent your style from looking too monochromatic. Matching a classic blue denim jacket with black leggings can create a casual athleisure look that you can live in on the weekends! Long, flowing dresses and skirts match surprisingly well with denim jackets. This is because jean jackets tend to have a heavier look to them, so clothes made of lighter fabric create a nice contrast.  Airy and flowy dresses and skirts tend to accentuate this contrast the most, but you have a lot of freedom here. Pick your favorite summer dress. Maxi-dresses matched with a cropped jean jacket can work in both spring and fall outfits. Use your jean jacket to tone down more eye-grabbing pieces. This can range from tops with bright colors to patterned scarves.  Print and color trends are easy go-to’s. A jean jacket lends itself well to stripes, but it can also work to simplify floral or other prints.  Blue jean jackets also look great with light pink tops or skirts. The light pink creates a pretty contrast with the blue, and it overall brings a spring or summer-y feel to an outfit. If...

. If you are co-dependent on others for your emotional health, lifestyle, or need them to tell you what to do, you are not in control of your life. Learn to solve your own problems and spend time alone to think and reflect. Only ask for help when you really need it, and learn from the people who help you so you can do more on your own next time.  Learn to meet your own needs. Get a job so you can support yourself if you live off of someone else. Then move out, and live on your own. Ask yourself, “What do I want to do today?” and make your own decisions. Think about what you love doing and what you feel passionately about. Don’t rely on others to tell you what to do or like. . Organization is important when you want to take control of your life. If everything is chaos in your head and in your house, then it is difficult to know where to start to solve any messes.

Coolant capacity specifications vary significantly from engine to engine, so it’s important that you look up the amount and type of coolant you will need to fill your car with ahead of time.  Some vehicles require only four or five quarts of coolant, while others may require as much as fourteen.  You can find the information you need in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.  Make sure to purchase the coolant before you begin the project, as you will not be able to drive the car until you refill the drained radiator. You can ask the clerks at your local auto parts store to look up the capacity and type of coolant you need if you do not have the owner’s manual. The draining of your radiator fluid will likely require jacking the car up, so it’s imperative that you find a level surface to park the car on before you get started.  Try to use concrete or blacktop, as gravel or dirt driveways may not provide adequate support for the jack or jack stands once the car is lifted off of its wheels.  This project can be completed inside a garage if you have one available to you. Never jack a car up on grass, as jacks and jack stands can sink while you’re under the vehicle. Many cars operate at well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit and the heat can compound under the hood.  Your radiator is designed to dissipate that heat by pumping coolant throughout the engine and into the radiator, where wind and the fan can cool it.  Because of this, the fluid inside your radiator is extremely hot.  This heat can pressurize the fluid in the radiator, causing it to expel extremely hot steam or coolant that can burn you.  Wait until the radiator is cool enough to touch before opening any caps or valves. Depending on how long ago the car was running, you may need to wait a few hours before it’s cool enough. While you will not be working on the electrical system of the car, disconnecting the battery is an important first step to any automotive maintenance or repair project.  By disconnecting the battery, you ensure that the car cannot be started while...

TL;DR in English: Look up your car’s coolant capacity. Park the car on level ground. Wait for the car to cool sufficiently. Disconnect the battery. Jack the car up if necessary.

You can either pick a dealer at random, or have someone volunteer. To pick a dealer at random, have everyone draw a card from the deck. Have the person who draws the highest (or lowest) card be the dealer. If there is a tie between two players, then have them pick another card from the deck. The person with the highest (or lowest) card wins. Make sure the dealer shuffles the cards at least twice. They can do an overhand shuffle by cutting the deck multiple times. Alternatively, a riffle shuffle can be used to shuffle the deck. If you are the dealer, then distribute the cards counterclockwise. Either give each player four cards at a time, or give each player one card until all of the players have four cards. Once everyone has their cards, pick four cards from the top of the deck and lay them face down (if you are the dealer). These cards are referred to as “the board.” This person will be the dealer the next time around. This way, no one person is overwhelmed by having to deal every time. The deck is also referred to as the stock.

TL;DR in English: Pick a dealer. Shuffle the cards. Distribute four cards to each player. Lay the board cards down. Place the deck in front of the person sitting to your right.

Center the wheel before you start to install the cover. Slide the top of the steering wheel cover over the top of the wheel and slide it over the wheel as much as you can. Position the cover so that the seam is centered over the bottom of the wheel. Use your fingers and stretch the cover over one side. Then, alternate to the other side and stretch that side over. Work your way incrementally down the wheel until the entire cover is attached. You may have to pull hard on the cover to get it to stretch over the wheel. Once you’re done sliding the cover over as much as you can, you’ll probably find resistance near the bottom of the wheel. Use as much force as you can to get the final part of the cover fitting snugly over the wheel. Once you’ve fit it over the bottom, you’ve successfully fit your steering wheel cover.  You can get a friend to hold the wheel straight if you are having trouble getting the cover on. To reposition the cover, take it off your wheel and repeat the process.

TL;DR in English: Fit the top of the cover over the top of the wheel. Stretch out both sides so that the cover fits over the wheel. Pull the bottom of the cover over the wheel.

It may seem easier to avoid the challenges in life than to face them head-on. But avoiding your problems will only lead to more problems down the road, which may result in your feeling a lack of control. The best way to deal with challenge and struggle in your life is to acknowledge it and face it.  Don't avoid dealing with your problems. Address them as they arise, and recognize that a given problem needs your attention. Think about the times you've faced your problems in the past. You no doubt walked away with a greater sense of purpose and a stronger sense of confidence. Remember this as you approach new and bigger problems, and take comfort in this fact. One of the best ways to feel content with the conditions of your life (no matter how challenging) is to practice accepting your situation as it is. Though you may wish things were easier (like having more money, a more secure job, or even better health), dwelling on what you don't have will not make living in the present any easier.  Remember that without hard times, you would not have as much appreciation for the good times. Accepting your life the way it is right now is the only way you can truly appreciate everything you have. Be grateful for the people in your life, no matter how difficult your life's circumstances may be at the moment. Recognize that everyone has similar struggles in some form or another. No life is without difficulty, but it is through perseverance and mindfulness that life becomes joyous and meaningful. It's not always easy to see the silver lining in unfortunate or challenging situations. But the reality of the situation is that struggle often leads to new insights about yourself, a new perspective on life, and even a renewed sense of purpose.  It will not be easy to see your problems as an opportunity for growth, but with mindfulness and a lot of practice, you'll quickly see that you do actually grow and develop from living through your challenges. Recognize and always remember that life is full of meaning. Just because you are...

TL;DR in English: Confront your struggles. Accept what you have, not what you want. Try to see problems as opportunities.

Spread your knees farther apart than you usually might, so that you have maximum access and visibility while you figure this out, or you can squat and sit like a frog on the toilet seat. Alternatively, you can stand to insert a tampon, placing one foot on a higher surface such as a toilet seat. If this works better for you, give it a shot. However, most women prefer sitting on the toilet so that any stray bleeding is contained. This is the most common hurdle first-time tampon users run into, and it can seem really daunting. Once you figure it out, though, you're set for life! Here's how to make it a little easier:  Understand your anatomy. There are three openings: the urethra (where urine exits) at the front, the vagina in the middle, and the anus at the back. If you already know where your urethra is, feel an inch or two behind it to find the opening of the vagina. Use the blood to guide you. This might sound weird, but it'll help if you're struggling. Wet a piece of toilet paper, and completely clean up all the menstrual blood in the area, from front to back (or hop in the shower and scrub down). Once everything is clear, dab yourself with a clean square of toilet paper until you find where the blood is coming from.  Ask for help. If you are really and truly lost, don't worry, as many girls before you have been here! Ask a trusted female relative––such as your mom, sister, grandma, aunt, or older cousin––to help you figure this out for the first time. Try not to feel embarrassed, and remember that every woman has been where you are now. You can also ask your doctor or nurse to help. At the midpoint of the tampon, where the smaller tube of the applicator meets the larger tube, hold it between your thumb and middle finger. Place your index finger on the end of the applicator where the string comes out. Aim toward the small of your back, and push it up a few inches until your fingers are touching your flesh. Don't worry about getting your hands dirty––menstrual blood is actually pretty clean, as far as...
