Prepare to take your temperature. Take your temperature every morning. Make a coverline on your chart or graph. Use your temperatures to understand fertility.

If you believe the package may be suspicious, it is important that you do not shake, open, or empty the contents of the package. You should also avoid carrying the package or showing it to others to examine. If you determine it is suspicious, do not sniff, touch, taste, or look at any of the contents. Let anyone else known in the residence, home, or area, that you believe you have received a suspicious package. Place the package on a stable surface and leave the area. Make sure anyone else in the area also evacuates and do not allow anyone to enter the area with the suspicious package. If you have a ventilation system, like an air conditioner system or a heating system, turn it off so the contents of the package cannot circulate in the area. Give your hands a good wash with soap and water to prevent spreading any potentially dangerous substances to your face or skin. Once law enforcement officials arrive, they will be able to give you additional instructions on dealing with exposure to potentially dangerous substances. If you are at work, contact your supervisor or a security officer. Let them know you believe you have received a suspicious package and that they need to call local law enforcement.  If you are at home, use your cellphone or a neighbor’s phone to call your local law enforcement and report the suspicious package. Try to make a list of the people who were in the room or area where the suspicious package was recognized and anyone who many have handled the suspicious package. You should provide this list to local law enforcement when they arrive on the scene.

TL;DR in English: Do not shake or open the package. Alert others in the area and leave the package on a stable surface. Wash your hands. Call your local law enforcement agency.

It is so easy in today's world to become focused on "me" that we often forget that one of the most rewarding and productive things we can do is to focus on the well-being of others.  When you are helpful to others, even in small, everyday ways, you will find that your overall sense of your own well being will greatly increase and your confidence in the tasks and goals you have before you will be much greater. Greater confidence in yourself and your own abilities results in much higher personal productivity, and, in turn, will help you to become a more serious person. Get involved in local volunteer opportunities. In 2013 alone, over 62 million Americans engaged in some form of volunteer work.   Do you have a soft spot for kids? For old folks? For animals? Maybe you'd like to help maintain trails at a local park, or feed the homeless in a soup kitchen. Volunteer opportunities abound everywhere, especially in urban centers. Even a couple hours a week, or even a month, can help give you a sense of focus and purpose in your life. Volunteering not only makes you feel good about yourself, it connects you with others, increases your social skills, combats depression, and helps keep you healthy. When you do to others as you would have done to yourself, you create a loop of goodwill. This isn't just for morality's sake; the more you show goodwill to others, the more likely they will be to contribute to your own advancement.

TL;DR in English: Be helpful to other human beings. Volunteer. Practice the golden rule.

To begin, you are going to need to weld 4 pieces of U-shaped rebar onto each of your metal pipes (with the pipe fitting in to the “U”). You can weld these yourself, or take them to a shop.  The first piece of rebar should be 4” (10.16cm) from the top of the pipe. The second piece should 4” (10.16cm) below that. The third should be 8” (20.32cm) below. The fourth should be 4” (10.16cm) inches below. Digging the holes can be the most challenging part depending on the material you will be digging into. Each hole needs to be at least 2’ (60.96) deep and 10” (25.4cm) wide. Use a jackhammer to dig one hole for each metal post. If you do not have experience using a jackhammer, it is best to hire someone to help you. Position each of your poles into the holes that have been dug for them. Using a level, try to make sure that your posts are even and uniform with one another. Use your jackhammer to adjust the depth of the holes, if need be. Once your poles are properly positioned, pour enough quick-drying cement to completely fill each hole. Allow 24 hours for the concrete to set. If your holes are filled with water, you will need to use a sub-pump (or simply a bucket) to remove the water before adding concrete.

TL;DR in English: Prepare metal pipes. Dig holes. Set poles. Pour concrete.

Layering is the key to creating great work outfits out of yoga pants. Start with a base layer of a shirt, and then add on a sweater, blazer, or jacket. You can even add a scarf or long socks to your outfit, and don’t forget about the jewelry. For example, a complete outfit might consist of a white blouse, blue sweater, black yoga leggings, black sandals, and a comfortable headband. Cardigans are comfortable and great for layering, making them perfect for wearing with yoga pants. Put on your black yoga pants and wear a white or neutral-colored shirt or blouse. Wear a cardigan in a color that you like, and make sure either the cardigan or the shirt covers your bottom. Wear a neutral-colored blouse with a black cardigan, along with brown bootcut yoga pants and a pair of flats for a professional-looking outfit that's also comfortable. Tunics and button-downs tend to be on the lengthier side, making them great options for wearing with yoga pants or yoga leggings. Wear a tunic or button-down in a shade of blue, gray, or white with your black yoga pants. Accessorize with a scarf or necklace to make your outfit look dressier. A complete outfit might consist of a green cinched button-down, yoga leggings, brown leather boots, and a bulky necklace. Pair your yoga pants or leggings with a blazer or jacket with a shirt underneath. Choose a black blazer to go with your black yoga pants, and wear a white or soft-colored shirt under the blazer. For an edgier look, pair your yoga pants with a leather jacket. Complete the outfit by wearing bold earrings and combat boots.  A pastel-colored, loose shirt under a leather jacket would look great with black yoga pants. Bootcut yoga pants and flared yoga pants are great options for wearing with jackets or blazers. If you’d like to look classy while wearing comfy pants, throw on a pair of black yoga leggings and a shift dress. Choose a dress color or pattern that goes with the season, and pair it with a sweater or belt, if desired. You can also choose to wear a skirt over your yoga...

Lots of animals can get in a house and make noise--birds, racoons, even cats. Rats will be accompanied by high-pitched squeaks. These will intensify when the rats fight. You may also hear various clawing, scratching and chewing sounds. These can be surprisingly loud, and seem like a much larger animal is making them.  You may also smell a distinctive, musky scent if rats are present. If you smell an especially foul odor, a rat may have died within the walls, roof, or flooring of your home. Dark, coffee-bean sized droppings are also a tell-tale sign of rats. If you live in an apartment, your building manager may be required to contact a professional exterminator to deal with a rat problem. Get in touch with your management if you think you hear rats. If you are a homeowner, you can take matters into your own hands, but a professional will be more likely to deal with the problem satisfactorily. This classic method for controlling rat problems can be effective as long as they are used properly. Snap traps have a spring-loaded mechanism that pins rats down when they step on it. Glue traps work by trapping rats that walk on their sticky surface.  Place several traps in places where rats are (look for their droppings). Set them in narrow places (such as behind boxes or furniture) so that rats are forced to walk on them. Bait the traps with food rats are likely to enjoy, such as peanut butter, raisin bread, bacon, or candy. If you find a rat has been trapped and killed, wrap it in newspaper or a plastic bag and throw it away. Wash your hands afterwards. If you are taking on the extermination job yourself, make sure to use only approved rat poison or rodent bait, available from home supply stores. Carefully follow the usage directions and precautions advised by the manufacturer.  Many forms of bait will come installed in pre-made, secure containers. Place these near the suspected rats. The rodents will enter the container, eat the bait, and die. Poisons are often not recommended for use in buildings. Rats may eat the...

TL;DR in English: Make sure it’s rats that you hear. Call for professional help. Set rat traps. Use lethal poisons to control rat populations. Try humane deterrents.

You'll need the same calendar that you've been using to chart your cervical mucus. While you can use any digital thermometer to take your daily temperature, it's best to use a Basal body thermometer which will give you the highest degree of accuracy. You'll be taking your temperature orally, although rectal temperatures are the most accurate. During your menstrual cycle, your body temperature changes subtly. You should be able to see the temperatures rise by about a degree following ovulation. They'll stay slightly higher until you start menstruating or they'll stay elevated (which can indicate pregnancy). You should take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed, eating, drinking, or using the bathroom. Take your temperature at the same time every morning. If you like, you can set an alarm, take your temperature, and go back to bed. Record your daily temperature on your charting calendar. You can also chart your temperature and cervical mucus on graphs that you can get from your doctor, a woman's health center, and most pharmacies. This will make it easier to see temperature shifts and confirm ovulation. Once you've been charting your temperatures for a while, you should notice that your body temperature usually stays around a certain temperature. You'll need to look for a temperature that is at least 0.2 degrees higher than the previous six days. Of those six days, look for the highest temperature. Draw a horizontal line that is 0.1 degree higher than that temperature to make your coverline. The coverline is simply an easy visual way to glance at your chart and see if you've ovulated and if your temperatures remain high (possibly due to pregnancy). Unlike cervical mucus, you won't be able to use your daily temperature to determine if you're fertile or not. This is because a noticeable temperature shift will happen after changes in fertility have already taken place. While this can be helpful in confirming that ovulation occurred, it makes it almost impossible to rely on temperature changes...

As a general rule, the insurance industry suggests that you carry life insurance in the amount of ten times your annual salary. Some factors to consider in calculating your insurance needs are,   the age of your children the amount of your mortgage the amount of car payments the amount of debt owed by your family whether your spouse works whether you need to pay for education for your children the amount of other sources of income and insurance the amount of your dependents’ financial needs the amount of life insurance you can afford You may want to speak with a reputable insurance agent to discuss which type of insurance works best for you. Generally, there are five types of insurance: term, whole, universal, variable, and universal variable.  Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific amount of time, typically has the lowest premiums, but those premiums will increase as you get older and renew the policy. This policy may be a good choice if you are looking to provide limited protection until your children are grown and able to support themselves.  Whole life insurance covers the insured for the entirety of their life so long as they pay the premiums. You may be able to borrow funds against the accumulated cash value of the policy but this type of insurance typically costs more than term life insurance. This insurance may be best for you if you want coverage for your entire life, you can afford more expensive premiums and you want the ability to withdraw cash value from the policy.  Universal life is similar to whole life in that it has whole life coverage as well as a cash value. However, the investment is tied to current market rates, which may impact the amount of your premium payment. A universal policy may be best for you if you want full life coverage, a guaranteed death benefit and a guaranteed interest amount but also the ability to choose how often you pay your premiums and the amount of your premiums.  Variable life insurance is also tied to investments such as stocks and money markets,...

Put petroleum jelly or lip balm on your lips to protect them from hot or cold conditions. Extreme weather can harm your lips and leave them chapped and dry, so be sure to give your lips a protective coating so they don't get red and chapped.  Petroleum jelly is a cheap and effective product that can moisturize your lips and prevent them from getting chapped. If you want some color on your lips, try a tinted lip balm or lip gloss. You can also put on lipstick over petroleum jelly if you want color and protection. Exposure to the sun can do a lot of damage to the surface of your lips. Look for a lip balm or chapstick that contains sunscreen and apply it daily before exposing your lips to the sun. Pick a lip balm or chapstick that has an SPF rating of 30 or higher. If your lips are tender or swollen, it could be caused by products you are putting on them. Keep track of your symptoms and stop using any products that may be irritating your lips. For example, many lip plumping products can be used safely but there is a chance that they will irritate your lips. If the product you are using is irritating or hard on the surface of your lips, stop using it. If you want to exfoliate your lips because they are peeling or coarse, you should only do it lightly and no more than once a week. While you can use beauty products designed for gentle exfoliation, you can also just use a soft toothbrush to gently rub the surface.  After exfoliating, apply a moisturizer to replenish your lips. Get a separate toothbrush to brush your lips. But make sure that it has got soft bristles.

TL;DR in English: Use moisturizing products on your lips. Apply sunscreen to your lips daily. Discontinue using products that irritate your lips. Exfoliate your lips lightly, if necessary.

Each acupressure point has many different names, those based in its ancient use and the more modern name, which is often a combination of letter and numbers. The Third Eye Point, also called GV 24.5, helps relieve headache and head congestion. This point is found between the eyebrows, where the bridge of the nose connect to your forehead. Press this point with firm, but gentle pressure for one minute. You can try simple pressure or apply a circular motion. See which works best for you. Drilling Bamboo, also called Bright Lights Points or B2, helps headaches that are located more in the front of the head. These pressure points are located at the inner corners of both eyes, just above the eyelid and on the bone surrounding your eye.  Use the tops of both your index fingers and apply pressure to both points at the same time for one minute. You can stimulate each side separately if you want. Just make sure to do it for one minute on each side. Welcome Fragrance, also called Welcome Perfume and LI20, helps migraine headaches and sinus pain. This point is located on the outer side of each nostril, near the bottom of your cheekbone. Apply a deep, firm pressure or use a circular pressure. Do this for one minute.

TL;DR in English: Stimulate the Third Eye Point. Try Drilling Bamboo. Press Welcome Fragrance.

You may end up having to confront the annoying person and try to work together on ways to address any issues you are having with them. Before you confront the person, you should sit down and try to identify what annoys you so much about the person. You may ask yourself, “What does the person do that annoys me so much?” or “What is it about this person that I find irritating?” You may then able to address the issue once you are aware of what it is.  For example, you may be annoyed by the fact that your co-worker always comes into meetings late and appears disorganized in front of clients. You may then realize that you are annoyed by her behavior overall and how unprofessional she is acting. Another example might be that you are annoyed with how your family member always talks about themselves and ignores the problems of others. You may realize that you are annoyed by him because he is not considerate of others. If you would like to confront the person, you should do so one on one in a private, quiet area. You may ask the person if you can speak to them privately after work or call them and ask to talk to them in private. Try to speak to them in person, if possible.  Always use “I” statements and avoid placing blame or accusing the person. For example, "I feel" or "I think." You may start the discussion by saying, “Listen, I need to let you know that I am feeling annoyed at your behavior.” You may then expand your thoughts and be honest about why you are annoyed by the person. You may say, “I feel as though your tardiness to meetings and your disorganization is reflecting badly on our team and the company as a whole. I am concerned that you are coming across as unprofessional to clients.” Or, you may say to your family member, "I feel as though you are not being considerate of others and are only focusing on your needs. I am concerned that you are not being as aware of others and their issues as you could be." You should try to work with the person to come up with possible solutions or adjustments they can make...

Party girls always keep their looks on point, no matter how wild their nights get. The basic party girl uniform is a cute dress and a nice pair of heels.  Dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable. You want to wear something that's easy to move in and that makes you feel confident. You'll probably be dancing, so you need clothes you can move in. Don't wear clothes that are too tight or restricting. Pack a pair of flats in your purse. Many women in general carry an extra pair of comfortable shoes in their bags, but for party girls they are essential. No matter how skilled you are at dancing in heels, your feet will be hurting by the end of the night. Give them a break. If you must wear pants, make sure they're cute (and preferably tight) and match the dress code of wherever you plan on partying. You don't want the embarrassment of being turned away at the door because your venue of choice has a ban on jeans. The typical party girl wears a lot of makeup. If that's the look you like, go for it. Just make sure to wear makeup with staying power that isn't prone to sweating off. For long-lasting makeup, start with a moisturizing primer and top everything off with a translucent powder. Right now, the party girl look is all about smoky, heavy eye makeup. If you want to follow this trend, pack on the dark eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. This means that your hair should be in a manageable style that stays in place. You don't want it coming undone while you dance.  If you want to wear your long hair down for part of the night, try pulling it back in a ponytail when you dance. For a classier look, you can also try a bun or some other type of updo. Just make sure your hair is secure before you go out. If it starts to come undone halfway through the night, it's better to just take your hair down completely. A party girl will enjoy partying most when she's self-confident and happy with herself. Self-confidence will boost your charisma and make you the life of the party.   Build your self-confidence, be confident and...

Look him in the eye to show that you are interested in and engaged with what he is saying. Allow your face to demonstrate that you are emotional and supportive. Be dynamic and engaged, possibly nodding in affirmation. Crossed legs and arms may suggest that you are closed off or uninviting. Try to sit straight up, with your limbs open. Your body should appear relaxed and you can gesture with your hands to show emotional support.  Also be sure that your body is facing directly toward the grieving person to indicate that you are engaged with her. Sit on the same level as the person you are talking to. Do not take a chair that allows you to tower over her, or her over you. This creates a sense of power imbalance that is not helpful for open conversation. Talk naturally and allow your voice to show emotion. Try to develop a soothing tone in your voice. Your conversation style should also demonstrate that you are there to listen. Don’t interrupt him, jump from topic to topic, or rush him to an answer. It is okay to leave periods of silence. These allow him to think about his feelings and ensure that he does not feel that he has been cut off or is rushed to respond.

TL;DR in English: Look him in the eye. Keep your body open and relaxed. Talk like you care.

If you generally say yes to most requests, you may lose touch with how you actually feel about having someone in your house. If someone shows up at your door and says, “Can I come in?” or, “Can I stay over?” take a moment and tune into your body. If you're genuinely happy to see them, let them in. However, if you don't want to get up to open the door, your first reaction is a groan, or you feel knots in your stomach after they ask, it's clear that the person is not welcome.  If you get a “no” answer from your body, tell your friend, “This isn't a good time. I'm sorry.” Sometimes it can be helpful to talk through how you are feeling with your partner or a trusted friend to get to the bottom of how you really feel. There may be some situations that excite you and some that deplete you depending on whether you are an introvert or extrovert. Introverts prefer to spend most of their time alone, while extroverts prefer to spend most of their time with other people. If you are not sure which type you are, then you can take the Myers & Briggs test to find out. For example, you may feel excited when an old friend shows up unannounced, yet feel depleted after they stay for more than a few hours. Are there situations that feel good and others that feel bad? Are there certain people you can tolerate and others you cannot? Begin to notice what situations energize you and which ones drain you. This can help you to become clearer on what limits you can set and how you might enforce them. For example, you might like the person who drops in, but hate that they come to unload all of their negativity onto you. If you're constantly bending your own needs to accommodate others, you may lose sleep, feel angry or upset, lose money, or overextend yourself. If you know that having someone over will drain you or affect you negatively, say something.  You can say, “I'm really stressed and I need some alone time right now” or, “I'm working on a project and I need to concentrate by myself.” If you notoriously neglect your own needs, get...

TL;DR in English: Check with your body. Notice what energizes and drains you. Prioritize your needs. Tolerate others' reactions.

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...

There are many different species of snakes, some more suited to becoming a pet than others. Certain snakes grow up to 30 ft (9 m) long! Some snakes can live up to 30 years, so you need to be prepared for that kind of commitment. If you’ve never owned a snake before, you may want to start with a corn snake, a ball python, or a kingsnake. These snakes have the best temperaments, least amount of feeding issues, highest level of hardiness and healthiness, and come in a variety of colors. You’ll need to learn a lot about the snake you want before purchasing it. Research to find out about the particular snake’s habitat (including lighting and heating requirements) diet, size, temperament, and life span. Make sure you really want a snake and are prepared to take good care of it for the entirety of its life. Pet store snakes are often poorly bred or captured in the wild. A better option is to find a breeder you can trust that offers high-quality snakes for a price that you are willing to pay. You should also consider adopting a snake, rather than purchasing from a breeder. This way, you can provide a good home to a snake that someone else wasn’t able to properly care for.  Look for a small-scale breeder, rather than someone who mass produces reptiles.  Read reviews about the seller or breeder to see find out if others have had good experiences. Good breeders and sellers know about the animal they are selling to you and should be willing to answer questions that you may have. A healthy snake should have a clear nose and eyes, neatly arranged scales, healthy-looking skin (no blisters or partial shedding), and breathe without respiratory distress. It should not be lethargic, and should allow you to pick it up without too much fuss.  Ask the snake's previous owner about the animal's history. This is an important step to ensure you are getting a healthy snake; ask if the snake has had any issues eating, drinking, moving around, or shedding its skin.  You also need to know what it eats and how often as well as the date and...

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable species of snake. Educate yourself about a snake’s needs. Research snake sellers. Examine the snake closely before you decide to take it home.

Choose your yarn based on the color bear you would like to make. You want the knitting to be dense enough that the stuffing does not show through the material so use needles 2-3 sizes smaller than you would normally use for the yarn you have chosen. Casting on is the process of starting the first stitches on the knitting needle before beginning to knit. There are many different methods for casting on depending on your experience level and the look you want to try. Easy beginner methods include the backwards loop cast on and the long tail cast on. Garter stitch is great for this project because it forms a sturdy and flexible piece of knitting. It is also a good stitch for beginners to learn and you can remember it with the poem “back, around, over and under.” When you reach row 32 place a colored thread in the middle of the row to mark the location of the neck. Keep knitting in garter stitch for an additional 34 rows so that you end up with 66 total rows. At each end of this final row, place a colored thread. These colored threads mark where the body stops and the legs begin. Knit 20 stitches, which is half the width of the pattern, and then continue for an additional 39 rows. Cast off at the end of these 40 total rows. This is your first leg. Turn the pattern around and rejoin the yarn to the other 20 stitches on the body of the pattern. Knit 40 rows on this side of the pattern, completing the other leg. Once finished, cast off these stitches. Starting on a new section, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows. Cast off. This forms one of the arms of your teddy bear and will be attached later. Again, cast on 20 stitches and then knit 40 rows to create the piece for the second arm of your teddy.

Use the speed of the boat or jet ski to pull you up onto the board. Sit in the water with the board by your feet. Place your heels on the board close to the edge. Get the boat moving slowly until the line is tense. Bend your knees and keep the line in front of your body. Let the boat pull you up as it gains speed. Turn the board so that your dominant foot is towards the boat. Keep your chest up, arms straight, and feet staggered to start riding.

Many kitchen supply stores sell coffee spoons. These scoops typically equal 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml), which is the average amount of coffee used in a standard cup. The downside is that all coffee has a different density, so you won’t always end up with exactly 2 tablespoons (29.57 ml).  For example, a scoop of finely-ground coffee is less dense than a coarsely-ground coffee, which means less coffee in a scoop. Darker roasts are also less dense than lighter roasts. To make this easy, use a kitchen measuring cup. They are available anywhere kitchen supplies are sold. Fill the cup ¾ full, which is about 177 milliliters (6  fl oz). Dip the spoon into the coffee grounds to scoop out a full 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml). If you don’t have a coffee spoon, you can use your regular kitchen measuring spoons. Add the grounds to your coffee machine or French press.  If you’re using coffee beans, grind them first, then scoop 2 tablespoons of grounds. To make a mug of coffee, add another ⅓ tablespoon of grounds. Add the ingredients to your coffee maker, then adjust them to get the strength of coffee you desire. After brewing, note the coffee’s taste so you can change the ratios next time to make it even better.

TL;DR in English: Get a coffee spoon to roughly measure coffee. Pour the water into a measuring cup. Scoop the coffee with the coffee spoon. Brew the coffee as you normally would.

When you've done something bad at school, it's important that you apologize for your actions. Every apology should start with the two magic words: "I'm sorry," or "I apologize." It's important to give a genuine apology, because these words express remorse about what you did.  Be genuine with your apology. If you don't feel bad about your actions, try to view your actions from your teachers perspective. This may help you understand why you got in trouble. Look your teacher in the eye when you apologize. Don't look at the floor or around the room. Looking your teacher in the eye will show them that you're being genuine. If your teacher genuinely believes that you are sorry, they may take you out of detention. When you are apologizing to someone, it is usually important to them that you admit your mistakes. Acknowledge that you messed up by saying “I take full responsibility for my actions.”  Describe what happened without placing the blame on others. Trying to place the blame on others makes you look like you're avoiding the blame. If you want your apology to be taken seriously, you need to own up to your mistakes. Use the phrase "I was wrong" when you are taking responsibilities for your actions. Acknowledge how your actions have negatively affected others. For example, if you were being a distraction in class, tell your teacher "I'm sorry for distracting my classmates. I regret that my actions hurt you and them." If a teacher sees that you are taking responsibility for your actions, they may decide that you no longer need detention. It is important that you state a clear plan to change. Your teacher won't accept your apology if this is a recurring problem. Learn from this mistake and genuinely vow to not repeat this bad action again.  Say "Next time..." or "In the future, I will..." to explain your plan to change. Provide your teacher with a valid plan for the future. For example, if you were talking back to your teacher, say "In the future, I will express my concerns to you privately after class instead of...

TL;DR in English: Express remorse. Admit that you were wrong. Promise to improve your behavior.

Occasionally, the BART system encounters delays due to reasons ranging from medical emergencies on trains, equipment issues on trains and tracks, and police activity at stations. If it is very critical for you to be somewhere at a particular time, please aim to take a train that is expected to get you to your location well in advance.  If arriving at a particular time is critical, check before entering the system whether there are any system-wide delays. You can use the BART service advisories and also check for announcements displayed at the station. If the BART delay occurs when you are already in a downtown San Francisco BART station and need to go to a location in San Francisco, consider using the Metro system (which shares station locations with the four downtown San Francisco stations). You can also consider using Uber, Lyft, or other car-ordering services. Order the service when you exit the train so that it arrives by the time you are out on the street. However, keep in mind that car-ordering services may experience significant surge pricing during system-wide BART delays, so check the surge multiplier before you use them. Keep in mind that during system delays, stations can get very crowded. This can make them unsafe to navigate. It can also make it harder to get Internet access through your cellphone, because a large number of people stuck in a small geographical area may be trying to use the Internet to while away their time and communicate to their friends and colleagues that that they are stuck, thus clogging the network.

TL;DR in English: Understand other reasons why delays occur.

Before applying any medicine to the affected area, make sure your skin is clean. Pat, don't scrub, using a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. You may want to simply splash your neck if it is irritating to touch it. After cleaning, make sure your neck is completely dry. Pat your skin gently, rather than rubbing it. Over-the-counter antihistamines, such as Benadryl, may help treat rashes caused by exposure to something you're allergic to. Avoid taking an antihistamine if you're unsure about the cause of your rash. If you feel a tightness in your throat or have difficulty breathing, that may be a sign of anaphylaxis. Seek medical attention immediately. An over-the-counter antihistamine may not start working quickly enough to remedy these symptoms. Numerous 1 percent hydrocortisone treatments are available over-the-counter in creams, ointments, or gels. Applied directly to the affected area, they can help calm inflammation as well as relieve itching or burning.  If your skin is particularly dry, choose an ointment or thicker cream over a gel. The gel may dry your skin further. Long term use of these products can seriously damage your skin. If your rash persists for longer than a day or two despite treatment, consult a doctor. Calamine lotion works just as well for other rashes as it does for bee stings or insect bites. If you have any aloe lotion or gel, such as those used to treat sunburn, that can calm a rash as well. Unlike hydrocortisone creams, aloe and calamine lotion are gentle enough to use on a longer-term basis without damaging your skin. Generally, if your rash doesn't get any better after a few days of treatment, get a doctor to take a look at it. Let them know how the rash developed and what you've been doing to treat it. They may order allergy tests or prescribe medication. If you try a treatment and it has no effect on the rash, stop doing it. You don't want to risk further irritating your skin or making the rash worse.

TL;DR in English: Clean your neck thoroughly. Take an antihistamine for an allergic reaction. Use a hydrocortisone cream or ointment. Calm itching with aloe or calamine lotion. Consult your healthcare provider if the rash worsens.

The theory of wakeskating is not incredibly difficult to understand, but putting it into practice is much harder. You start in the water with your heels on the top of the board and the board perpendicular to the back of the boat. Holding onto a rope attached the boat, let the boat pull you behind it until you have enough speed to stand up on the board. Once your stand, you pivot your feet so that the front of the board faces the boat, and you're off. Getting up is almost identical to a getting up on a wakeboard. Before you tell the boat to get moving, get comfortable in this seated position. Your butt should be the lowest point, with your lifejacket keeping your head and torso above the water. The board will be perpendicular to the boat.  If you are right-footed, the front of the board faces to the right. This is also known as "goofy" stance, or "goofy-footed." If you are left-footed, the front of the board faces to the left. This is a standard, or regular, stance. Your toes will be near the center of the board. Keep your heels on the board so that you could push down on them and flip the far edge of the board towards you if you wanted to. There will be 2-4 inches between the edge of the board and you heels. This will "push" the board up to your feet so that your entire sole is on the board. The pressure of the water will keep the board on your feet. Bend your knees about halfway, like you were preparing to jump off the board. Your arms will be straight in front of you so that your hands are ahead of your knees. Think of performing a squat (without weight) -- your knees are bent, your butt is down, and your arms are strong. This takes some practice, but once you get a feel for the balance it is actually not too difficult. Once the board is comfortably on your feet and the line is taut, slowly stand up on the board. With your knees relaxed, keep your hands out in front and unbend your knees as you let the boat pull you to a standing position.  The boat should be going 13-16mph. Don't lock your knees -- they...

TL;DR in English:


Determine if the bird is a nestling or a fledgling. Note if the baby bird’s parents and/or nest is nearby. Check if the bird is injured or appears ill. Avoid interacting with a fledgling if it is not injured and it is close to its nest.

Grab one of those old cursive practice books that you had to use in elementary school and start practicing each letter in the alphabet. Just remember that everyone's writing is distinctive, so your handwriting will be cursive (and attractive) it will be unique to you.  You want to make sure that your letters are evenly spaced, so practice on lined paper so you can see the spacing. There are lots of free cursive worksheets and workbooks, either on the internet or in your local library. The best way to write cursive is to put the writing utensil between your forefinger and your middle finger, with fingertips and thumb place near the pen or pencil's tip. This position helps to alleviate the pain in forearm, wrist, and thumb. Cursive is basically all about the connections between letters. It is supposed to be used as a rapid method of writing. As such it comes from the Latin word "currere" which means "to run" and so cursive translates as "a running hand." Keep that in mind when you're forming the connections.  The connections are simply the "air" between the letters when you would normally lift your writing utensil. Make sure to close gaps on the tops of words. If they aren't closed it will be difficult to tell if a lowercase letter is an "a" or a "u."

TL;DR in English: Start with the alphabet. Hold your writing utensil properly. Learn connections.

Of course you'd love to just not have to deal with bathroom germs, but that is not realistic. Instead, plan your bathroom breaks to coincide with being near the cleanest possible area. If you're on a road trip, scope out gas stations that have a great reputation for being clean. Use social media and travel websites that post a lot of reviews to help with your research.  Also, wear clothes that are easy to manage. Loose fitting clothing that is easy to manipulate is your best bet. You can also plan ahead by thinking about how to navigate the room or stall while touching as few surfaces as possible. For example, touch up your make-up in the car. Then you will have to spend less time in the restroom, and will therefore touch fewer surfaces. If you don't want to either squat or touch the seat, you need a barrier. Utilize the paper liners that are in many public restrooms, taking care to flush them when you're done. If a liner is not available, you can line the seat with fresh toilet paper to protect your tush. Try traveling with your own supply of paper liners. Small travel packs are often available at convenience stores, and can eliminate a lot of your problems. The handle of the toilet is actually one of the filthiest parts of any bathroom. Often it can be tempting to use your foot to flush. Resist this urge! This can actually cause mechanical issues, which could result in you getting some backsplash from the toilet. Instead, use a piece of toilet paper and use your hand to flush. Most of the germs in bathrooms are a result of people not washing their hands. They touch many surfaces and the result is contamination. Take care to wash your hands many times a day (not just after using the restroom) to help protect your health.

TL;DR in English: Plan ahead. Create a barrier. Use toilet paper to flush. Wash your hands.

Almost any piece of fruit can function as a bowl if you take the proper steps. The classic choice is the apple, but you can use a pear, squash, melon, or other solid fruit. Keep in mind that the fruit that you choose to use will influence the flavor of your smoke.  Any fruit that can be peeled by hand, like a banana or orange, won’t make for the best bowl. Their insides tend to be too soft to make a bowl. People gravitate towards using apples as pipes because they tend to have the lowest influence on the smoke flavor-wise and are easy to work with. You shouldn’t eat the fruit after you’re done smoking out of it because you may swallow smoke or butane residue. Swallowing burnt tobacco is also quite bad for your stomach. Place your tobacco in the bowl that you carved with your spoon or knife. Lift the fruit up and place your lips around the other hole on the side of your fruit. Use a lighter to ignite the tobacco on top while inhaling at the same time. Release your lighter 1-2 seconds before you’re done inhaling and enjoy your smoke! You may need to pat the tobacco down into the bowl a little bit to keep it from floating away if it’s windy out.

TL;DR in English: Find a fresh piece of fruit with a skin. Fill the top of your fruit with tobacco and inhale from the side.

Doilies are crocheted cotton put into round patterns with a lot of open space--just like spiderwebs. If it's possible to be picky, choose ones that look more web-like but don't fuss too much.  You can find doilies among old belongings, at your local thrift store, and at your local arts and crafts store. Wash and dry the doilies if they are used or old. Lay the doilies flat and spray with the black paint, passing over several times for complete color. Allow to dry, then repeat on the other side. Hang to dry when complete. Choose a spot with open ventilation and cover the work surface with cardboard or newspaper to prevent staining the surface underneath. Space the doilies at an acceptable distance from each other to give the impression of different spiders weaving their webs. Tack in place with black thread or hot glue. Apply as many as will fit nicely. Tie one end of black embroidery thread to the back of one doily. Thread this on the curtain from one web to the next. Don't overdo this--just a few strands here and there will give the effect of loose webs. Use some of the embroidery thread to hold the curtain in place as if spiders have tied up the curtain while they were weaving. Hang over a good light source, like a window or anyplace like a skylight or a screen with a light behind it.

TL;DR in English: Choose suitable doilies. Spray paint the doilies black (if not black already). Attach doilies to a backdrop such as a transparent curtain or piece of cloth like a sheet. Add the illusion of loose web strands. Hang the curtain.

Teach children to count from one to ten; most can remember the ten numbers fairly easily and learn to recite them, like a song or rhyme. Practice this basic skill at every opportunity. Many children learn best when they are using their sense of touch. Let children touch the items they have been counting. This will help them develop a sense for numbers. To begin, write the numbers, from one to ten, on the board or on a piece of paper. Say each number out loud, and point as you count in order. This practice connects the counting skill with a visual image of each number. You can also use number cards. Lift a number up, say its name out loud, and then ask each child to find the same number in his or her set of cards. Have each child practice saying its name. Starting with the number 1, devote some time to teaching each number. Write both the number and the word; illustrate its meaning by showing one cube, one finger, or one of some other item. Then move on to the number 2. Try not to move on until you are sure that each child understands. It’s best to master these numbers one at a time. Many children learn best when they can visualize a concept. For each number, write the number itself and a drawing that represents it. If you teach the number 2, for example, draw two eyes, two apples, or two flowers.  Dice, dominoes, and cards with dots or points may also work well. For best results, try letting the children draw the visuals themselves. Using beans, cubes, or other tangible items may help children grasp these concepts. When you teach the number 3, for example, have each child count out three of something, touching the items one at a time. When you discuss a particular number, teach children how to write it correctly. Let them try to write the numbers themselves. Be creative and entertaining! Tell the children that the number 1 has a skinny line for a body and then a forward slash for a big nose. A little bit of silliness and fun goes a long way to cementing the numbers into a child’s memory. The sequence of...

TL;DR in English: Teach counting. Introduce the numbers themselves. Discuss each individual number. Incorporate images. Engage the sense of touch. Show children how to write their numbers. Emphasize the importance of the sequence of numbers. Teach the concept of “counting on.

To best help the baby bird, you will need to first determine how young the bird is and how far along it is in its development.  A nestling has very few feathers and/or will be covered in fluffy down, their eyes will be closed, or they will just barely open. These are very young birds who should remain in the nest, as they are still highly dependent on their parents for nurturing and food. A fledgling is older than a nestling and they will usually have lots of feathers on their bodies. Fledglings are encouraged or even pushed out of the nest by their parents. They will usually spend two to five days on the ground once they are out of the nest, flapping their wings and hopping about. However, their parents will keep close watch on them from a distance and continue to feed and nurture the fledgling until they learn how to fly, eat, and protect themselves from predators. Another way to determine if the baby bird is in danger is to check if there is a nest in a nearby tree or perch close to the baby bird. You may also notice adult birds perched close to the baby bird and observing the baby bird. If you see a nest or parents nearby, and the bird is a fledgling, you may be fine to leave the baby bird alone.  If you see a nest close to a nestling, you can pick up the baby bird carefully and put it back in the nest. It is a myth that the smell of humans will cause the parents to reject the baby bird, as birds do not have a strong sense of smell. The baby bird should be nurtured and fed by the parents once you put it back in the nest.  You may need to observe the fledgling for at least an hour to determine if the parents are nearby or to spot the baby bird interacting with it’s parents. Make sure the parents visit the baby bird in the nest to confirm the baby bird is not orphaned or alone. Look for signs of injury on the bird, like a broken limb, bleeding on the bird’s body, and missing patches of feathers (if the bird is a fledgling). The bird may also be shivering or making low noises. You may also notice a dead...

TL;DR in English:


Leave the blister alone if it has not popped and you can endure the pain. Soak the affected area in warm water. Cushion the affected area with moleskin. Let your blister breathe.

Accentuating your waist is one of the best ways to show off your curves and wearing a belt will help to create a waistline on any look. Make sure the belt fits with your look. There are innumerable choices in belts, and finding the right style is key to creating a waist. For example, if you are wearing a tighter top, wear a thinner belt. For dresses, you can choose thicker belts, including Japanese-style obis. A pair of simple, classic heels will not only lengthen your legs, but also help create an hourglass shape. Make sure to choose simple heels and avoid details like ankle-straps, which will cut the line of your look. You’ll want to pull your curve-highlighting look together with the right jewelry. From earrings to necklaces and bracelets, these simple details will complete your outfit, giving you confidence.  Longer earrings and necklaces will highlight your shoulders. A stack of glittery bracelets can draw attention to your hips. One accessory every woman should have that will help draw attention to curves is confidence. Putting together your curve-accentuating look and knowing that you look good will give you this confidence.

TL;DR in English: Wear a belt. Wear high-heeled shoes. Accentuate your look with jewelry. Have confidence.

Most operating systems come with a software firewall that controls the data sent between your computer and the internet. If you have anti-virus software installed on your computer, it probably has its own firewall as well. There may also be a firewall on your router that you can adjust using your router's settings.  Check the settings of your computer and router to make sure these firewalls are enabled and are functioning properly. Typically, you'll find the firewall settings among your computer's security settings. You may be able to set a separate password to protect your firewall so that no one without the password can make any changes to it. Other systems prompt you for the password you've used to lock your computer, so make sure that password is a strong one. Many updates fix security flaws that were found in your operating system or any apps you've downloaded. These security flaws can be used by hackers and others to infiltrate your system and steal your data or install tracking software to monitor your activity. You can typically set up automatic updates for your computer and the apps that came with it. For apps that you installed on your own, you may be able to set up automatic updates or request a notification when an update is available. Each manufacturer is different. Most computers come equipped with anti-virus software. If yours doesn't, install it yourself and check for updates at least once a week. You typically can also set it to update automatically so you don't have to worry about it.  Run a virus scan at least once a week. You can set your antivirus software up to do this automatically. If you're installing anti-virus software on your computer yourself, go directly to the manufacturer's website to download it. Make sure you use a secure connection when you download it. If your computer becomes infected with spyware or malware, it can only use the privileges of the user that was logged in when the spyware or malware was downloaded. If you're logged in on an administrative account, the bug...

TL;DR in English: Set up a firewall on your home computer. Install operating system and app updates promptly. Maintain up-to-date virus protection. Set up a restricted user account for daily activities. Delete unnecessary software and features. Avoid giving out your data if at all possible. Password-protect all electronic devices. Re-evaluate your online security at least once a month.

Mix the 2 ingredients together in a bowl. You can get neem oil in most grocery and health food stores, as well as online. Use a mild soap like Dawn or castile soap for the best results.  Neem oil, which comes from a bitter tree leaf, is thought to be one of the most effective natural pesticides in existence. Fill a large container with the water, then add the oil and soap mixture to it. Stir slowly until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together. Transfer the solution to a spray bottle with a funnel. Spray the pesticide immediately, dousing the entire plant and focusing on spots where you can clearly see pests or signs of pests. Re-apply the pesticide regularly to prevent any infestation.

TL;DR in English: Combine 1/2 oz (15 mL) of neem oil with 1/2 tsp (2 1/2 mL) mild soap. Mix the neem and soap into 2 quarts (2 L) of warm water. Pour the pesticide into a spray bottle.

Take pride in the strengths that come with being an introvert and leverage them in order to find a career path that suits you.  Scientists, writers (technical and content writing), programmers, researchers, auditors, accountants, translator, lab technician etc. These are some of the jobs that match the personality of an introvert. They offer autonomy, require people who have a keen eye for detail, and don't necessitate too much interaction with colleagues. Introverts tend to bury themselves into whatever it is they're working on and dig deep for facts, details and information. You can put your heart and soul into everything you undertake - be it a simple school level assignment or a crucial project.  Even the minutest details matter to you, so you are able to see things that other people would overlook. This gives you ownership over those points, aspects and ideas which others have no access to. You are able to think outside of the box to deliver unique and customized solutions, products and services. This trait is crucial in professions such as auditor, accountant, researchers, scientists. You are not in the habit of thinking aloud or saying/doing something just for the sake of it. When you say something you mean it, so it's no wonder that people take you seriously.  You are a taskmaster. You are capable of commanding respect. So you come across as firm, decisive, unwavering, as one who weighs all pros and cons, not impulsive. You just don’t say something-you come thoroughly prepared and what you say is completely backed by facts. As a result, people take you and what you say seriously. Therefore you are the ideal mediator or arbitrator. You are the Mr. or Mrs. Reliable of your organization/department You prefer to use your ears more than your mouth. Your preferred method of communicating is to spend more time listening to your inner thoughts and to others rather than talking or participating in discussions with others.  Good listening skills are one of the prerequisites for maintaining harmony, good...

TL;DR in English: Choose careers/professions that suit your personality and traits. Realize that you have an eye for detail. Be proud of the fact that your are reflective and think before you speak or act. Take advantage of your excellent listening skills. Deal with people one-on-one where possible. Play up your preference for writing as opposed to talking.

To put an injured person on the stretcher, you should first move the stretcher so it is only a few feet away from the injured person. If the person is on a bed or a raised area, try to place the stretcher just below the person. This will make it easier to transfer the person to the stretcher. Tell the person, “We are going to move you onto the stretcher now.” You may then need someone to help you carefully slide or lift the person towards the stretcher. If the person is able to lift themselves up with their arms, they may do so and lay themselves down on the stretcher.  If the person is lying down on a bed with a sheet, you may have the person cross their arms over their chest. Then, you may have someone help you lift the sheet the person is lying on, cradling the person, and place it on the stretcher. If the person has any head injuries, have a third person hold the person's head steady as they are lifted so their head does not shift or move around. Place the person in the middle of the blanket. Once the person is situated on the stretcher, you should have one person raise the back end, closest to the person's head, with their body facing forward. The other person should raise the front end of the stretcher, closest to the person's legs, with their body facing away from the person on the stretcher.  Then, you may count together "1, 2, 3" and lift the person on the stretcher on "3." This will make it easier to lift the stretcher evenly and bring the person to safety. If you are not using poles, then you will need two people on each side of the blanket. Have the partners on each side roll up a few inches of the blanket on their side until the roll is thick enough to grasp and hold onto. As one unit, all four people will lift the blanket together to transport the person. You and the other person may try to coordinate your movements so the stretcher stays even and steady. This could be done by counting each step you take together out loud or by trying to find a rhythm to walk to so you are both walking at the...

TL;DR in English: Lay the stretcher next to the injured person. Lift the person onto the stretcher. Have two people raise the stretcher. Carry the person in the stretcher.

It is better to avoid exposure to bacteria by letting the blister heal naturally without trying to pop it.  If you feel like you must drain the blister read the medical warnings and instructions below. One method is to simply soak the affected area. Use a clean bowl or sink and fill it with enough warm water to cover the area (your foot or hand, for example). Soak for 15 minutes. The warm water will soften the skin at the top of the blister, which can help the blister drain on its own. If your blister is in a spot that receives pressure, such as the bottom of the foot, you might want to cushion the area with a piece of moleskin. Moleskin is a soft cotton fabric, typically with an adhesive backing. This will relieve some discomfort. It can also help protect the blister.  Cut a piece of moleskin a little bigger than your blister. Cut away the center so that it fits around the blister like a donut. Stick this to the blister. You can also try other adhesives like Blist-O-Ban and Elastikon. For most blisters, especially smaller ones, exposure to air will help the healing process. Give your blister some air. If the blister is on your foot, take care not to let dirt get on the blister. You may need to wait until bedtime before you uncover your blister. Let the affected area air out overnight while you’re sleeping.

TL;DR in English:


Use a wire brush on battery terminals. Apply baking soda and water to battery acid. Use a stiff bristled brush and a sponge on plastic parts. Use brake cleaner to spot clean grime deposits.

There are four muscle groups in your thighs, and you'll want to work out all of them. These are the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors and abductors. In order to strengthen these muscles, you'll need to pick activities that especially target them. There are many exercises that target these muscles, more than there is space to be listed. If you ever hear anyone talking about an exercise that targets any of these muscles and you want to try it, you should. This exercise works out your glutes, quads, inner thighs, and hamstrings all at once. It derives its name from the way you hold a dumbbell in both hands like a goblet. Spread your feet out wider than shoulder width with your toes turned outward. Holding onto the dumbbell, squat down until you reach a 90 degree angle, and then rise out of the squat. This move mostly works the front of the thigh and the buttocks, but also the backs of the thighs. First stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands held in front of your chest. A single repetition focuses on one leg: first lunge it forward to a 90 degree angle, then to its side (lunge left for your left leg, right for your right leg) again at a 90 degree angle, and then backward. This move mostly targets the thighs, buttocks and calves. To do this exercise, lift one leg off the ground and crook it to an angle so that you will not be tempted to use it. On your remaining balancing leg, begin hopping back and forth from left to right and back again in small motions, gradually moving yourself in the direction of the leg you're standing on. A hop to the side and a hop to the other side counts as a single repetition. Make sure the foot you are hopping on is not twisting outward or inward and remains perpendicular to the direction you're moving. This exercise targets the backs of the thighs and legs. Using a reasonably weighted barbell, form a shoulder-width stance with your feet behind the bar and grip the bar with both hands. Sit into a squat as deep as you can go and make sure your back is in a straight line...

TL;DR in English: Know the muscles you want to improve. Do goblet squats. Try three-way lunges. Perform single leg lateral ski hops. Do classic deadlifts. Perform the side-plank hip lift. Try the bridge.

Some bands may only be looking for someone to fill in for one of their members part-time, while others may be looking for a new full-time member. Be clear about your own goals and expectations for your membership in the band to avoid anyone being misled.  For instance, if you’re an experienced musician and you only want to play with other experienced players, let the other band members know before you decide whether to join the band. You could say something like: “I just want to make it clear that I want to join a band as part of a musical career. If this band is more about just having fun, maybe I wouldn’t be a good fit for you.” If you post any ads or videos looking for a band to join, include this information as well. At the very least, you should be as serious about the band as the other band members are. They are devoting time and energy to the group, so you need to do the same in order to make your membership in the band successful. Avoid having to rely on other band members to provide the things you’ll need to play. This may also include any other equipment you will need when performing or recording, such as an amplifier, effects pedals, and so on.  Note that some of this equipment can be pretty pricey. If you’re on a budget, or your band isn’t trying to “make it big,” you may want to invest in some used equipment and instruments from a local thrift store or resale music shop. If you are a lead vocalist, you should consider buying at least a 4-channel P.A. system. After joining a new band, it doesn't hurt to keep spare strings, batteries, drumsticks and guitar picks in your gig bag. The first time your guitarist forgets one of these items or the drummer breaks a stick, you'll be a hero. Jamming and writing songs is often a trial-and-error process, so it will require some humility and willingness to learn from others to be good at it. Always remember, you won’t be any fun to play with if you’re not having fun yourself! For example, if a member of the band offers some constructive criticism of how you’re...

TL;DR in English: Be upfront about your goals and expectations before you join a band. Take your commitments to the band seriously once you join. Have your own instrument and equipment to play with. Be willing to learn from your mistakes and have fun.

Lease a building to base your operations out of. While you're shopping around for the perfect headquarters, your first priority will be to secure a location large enough to teach a full class of students, with additional room for parents and spectators as needed. Other facilities, such a private office, store room, and restrooms and locker rooms for both men and women, should be provided for or added onto your existing space.  Look for properties that are conveniently located and easy to find. This will make more your school more attractive to students coming from neighboring towns. Make sure you have the financial means to pay the monthly lease. Money may be tight for the first few months while you're first building momentum. As with any other business, there will be a lot of paperwork to complete before you can open your doors. For starters, apply for the correct type of business license so that your school will be recognized as a legitimate business by your local government. Liability insurance is also a must to protect yourself in the event that a student or another instructor gets hurt.  Read through the provisions of your business license carefully so you'll know what sorts of practices are acceptable. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a lawyer to help you sort through the various forms and documents. Make a list of all the material items you'll need to begin operating. This will include things like floor mats, punching bags, practice weapons, regulation sparring gear, and mirrors for analyzing the students' form. You'll accumulate more equipment steadily in the coming months and years, so just for stock up on enough to effectively teach your first crop of students for now. Once you've drafted and double checked your list, put in an order with a wholesale martial arts supplier, such as Tiger Claw, Century, or Asian World of Martial Arts. As your school flourishes, you might to decide bring in additional employees to take over a share of the teaching duties. Evaluate each candidate's...

TL;DR in English: Find a suitable space for your school. Fulfill the legal obligations for your state or territory. Acquire the necessary training equipment. Hire other qualified instructors.

While some kids are more sociable than others, your child can become clingy when she is uneasy about a new situation. Kids can read body language and look to you for reassurance. Don’t forcibly pry your child off you but allow her to stay close for about ten minutes and slowly separate yourself.  Sit close by, play with her, and talk to her but don’t hold your child. Stay in the same room as you slowly move away. Make sure to always say goodbye to let your child know that you will be returning. If you have an infant or toddler, try wearing them in a carrier or sling. This can help to make them feel more secure. Kids whine because they want something but don’t know how to get it. Don’t give in to your child but rather model the tone you would like your child to use. Say things like, “use your words” or “does daddy like whining? How do you ask for something?” Make sure to praise your child when he uses the correct tone and asks for something politely. Show her what you mean if she doesn’t remember how to ask. Kids tell on each other because they are developing their sense of right and wrong and get upset when they see a rule being broken. Tell your child that it’s your job to find out who’s breaking the rules as long as no one is getting hurt or doing something dangerous. Cut down on siblings squabbling by giving them their separate space. If you are short on space, even assigning a corner to each sibling can suffice. Let them be able to put their stuff down and and know that they are in charge of that area. Children are naturally picky eaters as they want familiar food to comfort them. It is also one of the only times when they can have control. Get your child involved in choosing and preparing her own food. For example, allow her to wash the potatoes or sprinkle cheese on pasta.  You may also set a timer so your child doesn’t dilly dally during a meal. If your child is hungry, keep healthy snacks available on low shelves. Snacks like whole-grain cereal and granola. Ask your child to help you find recipes to...

TL;DR in English: Reassure clinginess. Set the tone and don’t reinforce whining. Set rules for tattling. Get your child involved in food preparation to avoid picky eating. Don’t let your kids avoid chores. Get your child to cuss alone.

Areas with rust and other heavy stains may need a little extra scrubbing. While the wall is still saturated in the cleaning solution, use a high quality rotating scrub brush attachment to work on the heavy stains.  This will loosen up the grime and debris and make it easier to rinse off. If you're dealing with rust, scrub it slowly and carefully. Attach the low pressure spray tip nozzle onto the pressure washer's hose. Rinse the solution off the first section of the wall, starting at the top and working your way down to the bottom. You will be able to see the dirt moving down the wall once you begin at the top. Follow that line of dirt down with the hose, making sure you guide all of it to the bottom.  Rinse the wall thoroughly so that no cleaning solution remains behind. Finish one section completely before beginning the next one. Repeat the same actions as before and allow the solution to sit for five to ten minutes before you rinse it off with the pressure washer. Continue in this manner, section by section, until you've completed the entire wall. Always rinse off the cleaning solution, working from the top to the bottom, to properly get rid of all the residue. Examine the stucco carefully. Check to make sure you haven't missed any areas of dirt. If necessary, repeat the application of cleaner and pressure rinsing to remove additional stains. Allow the wall to dry for at least 24 hours.

TL;DR in English: Use a rotating scrub brush attachment on the heavily stained areas. Rinse the cleaning solution off the first section. Saturate the next section of the wall with cleaning solution. Do a spot check.

Battery terminals often corrode, which can lead to issues with the electrical system of your vehicle.  Remove the cables on the battery and use a wire brush to scrub the terminals until they are clean, exposed metal. Soaking the ends of the battery cables in an anti-corrosion chemical like CLR can also help ensure a strong electrical connection. If the battery has corrosion caused by leaking battery acid, you can neutralize it as you clean by using a combination of baking soda and water.  Pour a bit of baking soda into a bucket of water and mix it thoroughly.  Dip your brush in the mixture and use that to scrub the battery terminals and any other areas acid may have leaked. Baking soda makes for an effective cleaning solution as well as a neutralizer for the battery acid. Plastic parts of your engine, such as engine covers and reservoir caps may be difficult to scrub clean.  Start by using a stiff toothed, plastic bristled brush along with car wash soap or degreaser.  Once the hard to remove grime has been removed, use a sponge with car wash soap to get the last of the grime off before rinsing the pieces with water.  You may choose to remove the components to clean them out of the engine bay, but it is not required. Avoid using steel toothed brushes on plastic as it may cause scratches. Brake cleaner breaks up grime and evaporates quickly.  Insert the straw into the nozzle of the brake cleaner and direct it at hard to clean spots or areas where the grime is particularly thick.  Use a hard toothed brush to scrub the grime away, then spray it again with brake cleaner to rinse it.  Be careful using brake cleaner in enclosed areas as the fumes can be hazardous. Brake cleaner is extremely flammable, so don't use it while smoking or near flames.

There are lots of different reasons why you might want to get closure on something. For example, you might want closure regarding a breakup, something bad that happened to you as a child, or something that you did to someone else. Whatever the situation or your reasons for wanting to get closure, you will need to identify them to move forward.  Try to pinpoint the situation that you are seeking closure for and the reasons why you want to get closure. What person or experience are you holding on to and why?  For example, perhaps you were bullied when you were a child and it's still affecting your life and self-esteem. Or, perhaps you suffered the effects of domestic violence when you were growing up. Keep in mind that seeking closure for something traumatic that happened to you can be difficult without the help of a trained mental health professional. Consider seeking help from a counselor before you begin this process. Rather, plan a roadmap of the progress you hope to make. Now that you know how you feel about what happened, think about how you would like to feel. What would it help you to know? What do you want for yourself? For instance, closure might mean that you get your self-esteem back after a breakup, in which case you should plan to focus on yourself, let go of thoughts of your ex, have fun with friends, and eventually start dating again. Or, closure might mean that you stop replaying an incident from your childhood over in your head. Writing about what happened is a good way to understand it better and start working towards closure. Writing can also help you to clarify your feelings about what happened. However, keep in mind that writing about your feelings is often the most difficult part of getting closure, so you should do this in the safety of a trained therapist's office. Reflect on the situation for which you are seeking closure and write down as many details as you can. Try to write out exactly what happened, every detail you remember, and how each part of it made you feel. Not having...

TL;DR in English: Think about the situation. Determine what closure means to you. Write about how you feel. Talk to a professional.

Masonry chisels come in many shapes, including bolster, pitcher, and sculpting chisels. Pick one that is the right width and shape for your job, and is made to chisel the material you are shaping.  A bolster chisel is beveled on one-side of the blade and is used to break off large pieces or sections. A pitcher chisel is beveled on both sides of the blade and is used to cut straight lines. Sculpting or engraving stone requires a wide variety of specialized tools and chisels. Making a line where you want to break the stone or brick will help you keep on track as you chisel. You will make scoring marks along this line before trying to break the brick or stone in half. However, chiseling into stone and brick is not always exact, so be prepared to work with pieces that don’t break right on the line. You want to hold the chisel so that it is at 90 degrees and will go straight into the brick or stone. If you hold it at an angle, the cut will go off at an angle as well. It can take some practice to be able to hold the chisel perfectly upright while hammering it. Try making some practice cuts before chiseling into pieces that need to be cut correctly. Gently tap the end of the chisel with a hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer along the line you want to cut away. After you score one part of the line, move the chisel down the line and continue scoring the entire length.  The score line doesn't need to be very deep. You are just aiming to make the line weaker than the surrounding material, so that the stone naturally wants to break there. The goal here is to make a line that the stone or brick will break cleanly along. If you don’t make a score line, a piece of brick or stone wider than your chisel can break jaggedly. Strike the handle of the chisel sharply with your hammer, mallet, or sledgehammer. Use as much force as you can, so that the chisel is driven down into the stone or brick.  Repeat your strikes all along the score line on either side of the first strike until the break occurs.

TL;DR in English: Pick the right masonry chisel to score, trim, or shape brick or stone. Mark the stone clearly with paver's chalk or a dark pencil. Set the masonry chisel perpendicular to the surface you are chiseling. Make a score line along the brick or stone. Make a hard strike in the middle of your score line.

In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and ¼ cup (59 ml) of the warm water. Set the mixture aside for about 10 minutes. During this time, the yeast will begin to eat the sugar, and the mixture will become bubbly and foamy. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour and 1 teaspoon (6 g) of the salt. Add the canola oil, yeast mixture, and ½ cup (118 ml) of warm water. Use the dough hook attachment to mix all the ingredients together to create a soft, tacky dough. Add more water if the dough is too dry. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand or with a pastry knife. Coat the dough ball with a thin layer of oil. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel. Set the dough aside somewhere warm to rise for 90 minutes. The top of a refrigerator is an ideal spot for the dough, or an oven with the heat off and the light on. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, onion, black pepper, cinnamon, lemon juice, and another teaspoon (6 g) of salt. Stir the mixture well to incorporate all the ingredients. You can use fresh spinach in place of the frozen, and can substitute allspice for the cinnamon if you like. Transfer the dough to a dry, flat work surface, such as a clean counter. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large circle that’s 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) thick. Use a round cookie cutter that’s 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. Cut out as many circles from the dough as you can. Collect the dough scraps and form them back into a ball. Roll out the dough again and cut out as many rounds as you can. Drop a heaping tablespoonful of filling into the center of a pastry round, and top the filling with a few pine nuts. Grab the outside of the dough in three separate places, and bring those three points together to form a triangular pocket. Pinch the top together, and then pinch together the seams to seal the pie. Repeat with the remaining pies. You can use chopped walnuts in place of the pine nuts. Arrange the individual...

TL;DR in English: Activate the yeast. Make the dough. Rest the dough. Make the filling. Roll out the dough. Cut the dough. Make the individual pies. Bake the fatayer.

Traditionally, biryani is cooked in an Indian cooking pot called a biryani handi, but any thick bottom pot will work just fine. A non-stick pot/handi works best. Spread the chicken so each piece of chicken is touching the bottom and/or sides of the pot. This will help ensure that each piece of chicken gets cooked thoroughly. The rice that you cooked earlier is now ready to be added to the chicken. Create a layer of rice, adding about half of the rice on top of the chicken.  With your perforated spoon, pack the rice firmly into the pot. It is okay if some water comes along with the rice, it will help things cook with the steam. On top of the rice, sprinkle on fried onions(approximately 2 tbsp), chopped coriander leaves(approximately 1tbsp), and mint leaves (approximately 8-10). You can also sprinkle on cashew or golden raisins, but these are optional. This is the second, and final layer of rice you will be adding to the biryani. Once the rest of the rest is spread evenly, add on the rest of the brown onions (approximately 1 tbsp), a little bit more coriander leaves (approximately 1/2 tbsp), mint leaves (3-5), the saffron milk mixture, and approximately 6 tbsp of ghee. An alternative and optional topping is adding some rose water. Just add about 1/2 a capful, and sprinkle it over the top of the biryani. Roll the chapati dough into long pieces and put the dough on the edges of the pot's upside down lid. You add the chapati dough to the edges of the lid, so when you turn the lid right side up, the dough seals the pot so the chicken and rice can steam cook together.  Press lightly but firmly to make sure the lid is secure and tight. You can add a weight to the lid to ensure that it stays sealed, but usually if you use the dough, it is sealed good enough. Keep the biryani cooking for about 5-10 on high flame. Then, take the pot off the flame, put a cooking plate on the flame, and place the pot back on the flame with the cooking plate.  This is the safest method to cook the biryani and make sure the biryani doesn't...

TL;DR in English: Place chicken into a thick bottom pot. Spread the rice. Add the next layer of rice. Put the lid on the pot upside down. Cook the biryani. Carefully remove the pot's top. Enjoy!

The stretch works best if you lie on the floor; do not perform the stretch lying on a bed or sofa. Rest on your back and stretch your legs out, letting your heels rest on the ground.  If the surface you’re lying on is hard or cold, you can lay down a blanket or a yoga mat. For a different angle to the stretch, lie on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows. Repeat the rest of the stretch motions, but keep your weight on your elbows and tuck your knee beneath your torso. For example, bend your left knee and draw it up towards your abdomen. While doing this, point your left foot towards the right side of your body. Reach down with your right hand and grasp your left ankle.  If you find this pose uncomfortable, you can also perform this stretch with your right foot resting on an inflated stability ball. Use your heel to pull the ball towards your hips when stretching your piriformis.  You can perform the stretch by bending either your right or left knee. It doesn’t matter which you start with. Once you have grabbed your left knee with your right hand, place your left hand just behind your left knee. You’ll use this hand to exert gentle pressure on your leg as you stretch the piriformis muscle. Exert a steady pressure on your left knee to move it gradually towards your right shoulder. Avoid pulling your knee sideways across your body. Stretch the piriformis slowly and gently. Hold the stretch for at least 5 seconds, and then release.  Keep your pelvis flat on the ground while stretching your piriformis. Do not roll your hips in the direction you’re pulling your knee. If you’re performing this stretch while propped on your elbows, tuck your left knee under your body and lean towards your left side. Then stretch your piriformis by leaning your weight forward over your elbows. This time, bend your right knee and grab the right ankle with your left hand. Place your right hand behind your knee and gently stretch the knee towards your left shoulder. As you improve your piriformis flexibility, you can hold the...

TL;DR in English: Lie flat on your back with your legs straight. Bend one knee and grab that leg’s ankle with your opposite hand. Place your other hand just behind the bent knee. Pull the bent knee towards the opposite shoulder with both hands. Repeat the stretch using your other knee.

A restart clears your PC's memory and closes all software that may be running behind the scenes. Restarting should be a part of your normal (weekly) routine. Regularly running a virus scan identifies then fixes many issues with slow performance. Use Windows' built-in scanner (Defender) or choose from a host of other software options available. This is a step for advanced Windows users and involves changing important system settings, so proceed with caution. Access the registry editor ("regedit") and be sure to save a backup copy before beginning. From the registry editor you can delete old applications, remove unwanted startup items, and adjust user profile settings at the administrator level. Check out Clean-the-Windows-Registry-by-Hand for a step by step rundown. Although many 3rd party software registry cleaners exist, taking the time to clean your registry by hand is generally a better idea that will yield better performance results. Dust can make even the best computers run slowly. This method involves unscrewing the screws on the side of the computer case and using compressed air to clean the dust inside. Proceed with caution as the inside of your computer can be quite delicate.  For more details, check out Clean-the-Inside-of-a-Computer. Pay special attention to dusting out the heat sink and other fans.
