Even if you get a lease form from a reputable legal document company, it still may include provisions that don't comport with local ordinances.  Some illegal provisions can serve to invalidate the entire lease agreement. Make sure your lease is ironclad, so you can legally enforce it in the event you have problems and need to evict a tenant. You also want to research the market in the area you are renting to make sure the rent you're charging is reasonable. Keep in mind that some cities have rent-control ordinances that apply to certain types of property. An experienced landlord-tenant attorney can help you with this. Background and credit checks help protect you from potentially unreliable or otherwise troublesome tenants. Set clear standards tenants must meet and communicate those standards before they fill out an application.  Keep in mind that typically there are anti-discrimination laws that forbid you from discriminating against applicants on the basis of their race, gender, or other factors. However, these laws typically don't require you to rent your property to someone with an extensive criminal history, or whose credit score is so low that you don't trust them to pay rent regularly. Be consistent and run background and credit checks on all applicants, even if you know them personally. Keeping these records can protect you in the event you are accused of discrimination, because it shows that you treat all applicants the same. Even if you're able to resolve a problem with a tenant over the phone, or through a personal conversation, write up a letter confirming the agreement and send it to them, keeping a copy for yourself.  Written documentation of any communication with your tenants, no matter how minor, gives you legal proof of the agreement in the event you end up in court. It isn't necessary to confirm conversations unrelated to the tenancy, but anything that concerns the rental unit should be written up. For example, if a tenant who previously did not have a pet tells you that they are going to...

TL;DR in English: Get a lawyer to review your lease. Do background checks and credit checks on all tenants. Get everything in writing. Send statements promptly. Save copies of all letters and notifications. Use online services.

Listen to music with English lyrics. Find a few favorite English songs and continuing listening to those songs until you understand the meaning of each one. If you don't know where to find English music, look for an English radio station that streams online. Check YouTube and other video websites for English music videos. Learn who some of the most popular English musicians within your favorite genre (pop music, rock music, etc.) and find several of their songs. Watch the characters' actions to help yourself understand the context behind the English they speak. You can also turn on subtitles in your native language to help yourself follow along, but turn them off if the subtitles prevent you from focusing on the English words you're listening to.  Listen to English podcasts, especially podcasts designed to help people learning English as a foreign or second language. Watch the "Top Videos" on YouTube or other video hosting websites with English content. Visit websites that legally host free episodes of English shows and watch a few. Try to understand who the characters are and what the show is about. Practice speaking English when you're alone. Consider recording yourself when you speak English, then listen to that recording later.  You can also practice singing aloud in English or reading short paragraphs of text written in English. Speaking in English more often can help you improve your pronunciation. Recording your spoken practices can help you identify areas you need to improve. Record someone who speaks English well as that person reads the same text. Listen to his or her recording, then listen to your own recording and compare your pronunciation. Travel someplace where native English speakers gather. Listen to them speak English and try to understand their conversations.  Visiting a country where people speak English will give you more opportunity to listen to English conversation, but if this isn't an option you can consider, try visiting somewhere in your own country where English tourists gather.

If you have a stress response syndrome, you may be at a higher risk for suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors. If you are concerned about your safety, call emergency services. You may also dial a suicide hotline or phone a friend or family member to talk to and help you.   Take any suicidal thoughts or behaviors seriously. For more information, check out How to Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide. If you suspect that you have a stress response syndrome, avoid using any substances. You may be at a higher risk for substance use or abuse. When dealing with stress, using drugs, alcohol, and other mind-altering substances is not a healthy way to cope. When experiencing severe stress, stay away from all substances, as they can cause more damage in the long-run. Avoid taking pills or painkillers if they are not prescribed to you at this time. Stress response syndrome can prolong any existing medical problems or disorders. It can also interfere with medical treatment. If you have a health condition, make sure you receive adequate treatment and keep up with medications, visits to your medical provider, and any necessary care you may need.  This can help ensure that your illness is not prolonged. If the stress response syndrome does not decrease, a therapist or psychologist may evaluate you for another disorder. For example, if your symptoms persist, your therapist may assess you for major depressive disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or another diagnosis that best suits your symptoms. Having a proper diagnosis aids treatment and guides the path of recovery.   For instance, if you develop nightmares related to the stressor or experience flashbacks, you may receive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

TL;DR in English: Watch out for suicidal thoughts. Avoid using substances. Receive appropriate medical treatment as necessary. Recognize persistent problems.

Take the worries you've identified as being out of your control and go through each one. Ask yourself what evidence there is to support this worry coming to pass.  For instance, if you worry about getting fired from your job, question the evidence that supports your concern. Have you gotten several write-ups? Are you a liability to your employer? Has your employer threatened to fire you? If you answered “no" to those questions, then there's no evidence to support this worry. You can empower yourself to cope with worries that are out of your control by thinking through how you would respond if they happened. Thinking about the worst-case can help you see that what you're worried about isn't as bad as it seems. Spend just a few minutes thinking through a few worst-case scenarios—don't go overboard or spend too much time on this.  Let's say the worst-case scenario happened and you were fired from your job. Would being fired devastate you or would you be secretly relieved? Could you get a new job or possibly pursue a new career path? Would this outcome have disastrous effects that you could not handle? Getting fired can certainly be a terrible outcome, but, by doing this exercise, you'll likely realize that it wouldn't be the end of you. Pinpoint the action steps you'd need to take if your worst-case scenario happened and then prepare accordingly. Taking even a little action towards the concerns that are not entirely within your control could help minimize your worries and help you feel more empowered.  For instance, if you're worried about losing your job and that's out of your control, set aside an emergency fund to help you pay your bills while you hunt for a new job. If you're worried about developing a health condition that runs in your family, visit the doctor regularly, eat well, and exercise more often. Uncertainty can be frightening, but it can also be exhilarating if you change your perspective. Just think: when you don't know what will happen, that means anything could happen—which can be a good thing,...

TL;DR in English: Look for evidence supporting the outcome you fear. Entertain the worst-case scenario. Take measures to prepare for the worst. Embrace your lack of control.

Now is the time to get creative! Cut up magazines to make a collage that represents the color scheme or mood you would like to recreate with your tattoo. Make an inspiration board that evokes the feeling you want to convey with your design. You might also jot down words in a diary that come to mind when thinking of the design you want. This can be super helpful if you want the tattoo artist to design or draw the tattoo for you. If you can draw, sketching the tattoo is a fantastic way to give your tattoo artist a more accurate picture of just what exactly you want to get inked when you go into the parlor. Get out a piece of paper and draw the tattoo to scale. Don’t be afraid to go through multiple drafts - you are drawing something that will go on your body permanently, so take your time and work on the sketch until it’s just right.  You can draft a rough sketch and bring it to the tattoo artist. The artist can, in turn, refine your vision and bring the design closer to what you had envisioned, as well as advise you on feasibility and cost. If you don’t know how to draw, get a friend or hire a freelancer to draw your vision for you. Or, use a site like Fiverr for help. You can even collaborate with a tattoo artist by explaining to them the design you want and having them advise you on location, coloring, and type of ink. You will have to explain very carefully what you envision and likely go through multiple drafts until the drawing is just right. Trends come and go, but a tattoo is forever. Determine whether the tattoo you have will age well by asking yourself questions such as: What is the likelihood that I’ll have the same interests and beliefs in 10 or 20 years? Am I making this decision based on impulse, or have I given it time and careful thought? It's best to think about the tattoo for several months before deciding to get it.  Examples of timeless tattoos include tattoos of animals, flowers, skulls, maps, or nautical symbols.  Another way to test timelessness is to tape up the design you have created...

TL;DR in English: Jot your ideas down in a journal. Sketch the design. Opt for timelessness. Order a temporary custom tattoo.

To make new friends, you will have to get out and get involved in things. Consider joining a sports league, taking a class, or volunteering within your community. If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online. Look on places like Craigslist, Meetup, or local news websites for activities in your area. Don't attend functions with the sole idea of making friends or meeting people. Try to go with no expectations whatsoever and to enjoy yourself regardless of what happens. Look for activities that interest you and that also involve groups of people like book clubs, church groups, political campaigns, concerts and art exhibitions Making new friends often requires you to take the first step and invite others out to do things. Don't wait for people to approach you: you should approach them. Ask the person if they want to chat or get a coffee. You must always show interest in other people before they will show interest in you.  Be yourself as you try to make new friends.  Don’t try to impress a new person by misrepresenting yourself. That may lead to the end of the new friendship before it even gets started. Be a good listener.  Pay close attention when people are talking. It is important to be able to respond to what the person has just said to demonstrate that you were listening or they may feel like you do not care. Working to deepen the relationships with your family may also help you to stop feeling so lonely. Even if you don't have a great history with a family member, you can still try to repair relationships by starting with an invitation. For example, you could ask a family member that you haven’t seen in a while to go out to lunch or meet you for coffee. When trying to rebuild or deepen your relationships with family members, you can use some of the same strategies you would use to gain new friends. Take the initiative to ask the person out, be yourself, and be a good listener. Draw people toward yourself by providing enjoyable company. Be complimentary rather than...

In order to work in a consulting role with an adoption agency, most states will require that you have at least a master's degree. For undergraduate study, you can pursue your degree in social work, but you can also consider related fields such as psychology or family counseling. During your undergraduate career, you will take courses on human behavior and development, social welfare, and the economic and political conditions of social crises like poverty and homelessness. Maintain at least a 3.0 GPA and foster professional relationships with your professors. Consider working with professors who focus on child and family welfare and adoption counseling. Many MSW programs will want to see that you have completed a statistics course as well, so you should consider taking that for your math requirement.  You should also pursue an internship or volunteer with an adoption agency so you can experience the daily administrative workings of the agency. Always maintain a helpful, compassionate and professional attitude. Show your supervisors that you are serious about this line of work: you're not just an intern, you're a future colleague. For your master's degree, find a program that offers field work opportunities with multiple adoption agencies so you can get a diverse range of hands-on experience. This will be crucial experience in order to find work in a supervised position after your graduate.   Consult your undergraduate professors and your college's career center for help on applying to MSW programs. Most MSW programs require a 3.0 GPA, GRE scores, 3-4 letters of recommendation and a 1-3 page application essay in order to be admitted. Your career center or college writing center can help you draft and revise your application materials so you will be a competitive candidate for the program. Make sure that your MSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). There are more than 238 accredited MSW programs in the U.S. After you complete your MSW program, most states will require that you...

Always start from lower elevation and work your way up to higher elevation when placing the first rocks. A good bet is to start off with your largest boulders in place so that they give context and contrast. Backfill any soil beneath large boulders as needed, paying particular attention to boulders perched on elevation. Placing a larger character boulder behind a the actual beginning of the waterfall itself is a great way to build dimension in your waterfall. Character boulders to the sides of the waterfall work great as well. In nature's streams, especially near waterfalls, smaller stones and pebbles tend to get swept away down current. That's why larger stones look more natural close to waterfalls. Stick with a good combination of medium and larger stones for a more natural look if you feel like your waterfall looks artificial. In the moment, placing stones gives you a great idea of how things will look up close. What it doesn't do is give you a perspective of how things look from afar. Periodically take a steps back from stone placement and decide whether you like the arrangement of stones where they are. You may place a single stone or boulder four or five times before you're happy with where it's placed. Slate makes for an excellent spill stone. Don't be afraid to use smaller stones or even small pebbles to create the base for your spillway. Here are some other things to keep in mind when building spillways:  If you're having trouble keeping your spillway stone in place, sometimes a larger stone on top of it will anchor it in place while you build its base. Always measure the slope of your spillway with a level. This is important for two big reasons. First, going front to back, you'll want your spillway stone to be either level or sloped slightly downward; if it's sloped upward, water isn't going to travel down it nicely. Second, going side to side, make sure your spillway stone is level; this will ensure that the water travels over the entire surface evenly and doesn't pool on one side. Small...

TL;DR in English: Start from the bottom up, placing larger boulders first. Use larger stones near each waterfall if possible. Periodically step back from your waterfall and look at the piece from a different angle. Place the spillway rocks carefully.

Wedding invitations are typically broken up into three different parts: the save-the-date, the wedding invitation, and the RSVP card. Decide if you want all of these to be included in your invitation-making process, and how similar or different you would like each part to appear.  The save-the-date typically includes an announcement of engagement and marriage, the names of the couple, and the date and (optional) time of the wedding. You don't have to include the location or any other details. The wedding invitation should be sent out at least six weeks before the wedding date. These should include all of the information for the wedding including the names of the couple, the location, date, and time. Feel free to include more than just the basic information on your invitation. The RSVP card is a smaller card that is sent with the invitation. This is an optional, but helpful, inclusion to your invitation. It comes with an envelope and gives the recipient of the invitation the ability to tell you if they are coming, the number of guests, and their preferred dish for the dinner. The recipient will mail this back to you, so you know how many people your wedding needs to be prepared for. Before you can make your invitations, you need to know how many you will have to create. To do this, make a guest list organized by family or household. Include the full name, address, and optionally their email and phone number.  It is easiest to organize all this information into a spreadsheet on your computer. This way, you can quickly pull up the information and make any necessary changes. As guests RSVP, highlight or mark their names on the guest list. This will help you to keep track of who all is going, and who you have not heard from. Pay attention to anyone on your guest list who may have special invitation needs. If they live in a rural or remote area, you may need to send them an invitation online as well through the mail. If they speak another language, have a special translated version of your invitation made. Once...

To measure your face, you will need the kind of soft fabric tape measure that tailors use. These are easy to come by at most department stores. It doesn’t matter whether the ruler is in inches or centimeters. The important part is how the measurements compare to each other, not the exact numbers. If your hair is long, put it up or tie it back. Slick back or clip up shorter styles. In order to determine your face shape with measurements, you will need to write down each measurement as you go so that you can compare them all when you are done. Get something to jot down your measurements with. It’s easiest to measure your face if you can see what you’re doing. Stand or sit in front of a large mirror in a well-lit room. Face the mirror front on, with your chin level. This is typically located midway between your eyebrows and your upper hairline. Measure the distance straight across from the hairline on 1 side of your forehead to the other. Write down the result. This measurement can be a little tricky. Feel for the most prominent part of your cheekbones with your fingertips. This is usually located just below the outer corner of each eye. Once you’ve located the right spot, measure straight across from 1 cheekbone to the other. Place one end of the tape measure at the corner of your jaw below your ear, and bring the other end to the tip of your chin. Do the same on the other side and add the results together, or just multiply the first measurement by 2. This will give you your total jawline length. Take your tape and measure from the center point of your upper hairline down to the tip of your chin. If you have a receding hairline or a shaved head, estimate where your hairline would be. After you’ve made all the measurements and written them down, determine which measurements are greatest and which are smallest. Compare the proportions of your face with those typical of the common face shapes.  For example, if your face is about as long as it is wide, it is probably round or square. A square face has a wider, more...

TL;DR in English: Grab a flexible measuring tape. Get your hair out of the way. Get a pencil and paper. Position yourself in front of a mirror. Measure across the widest part of your forehead.

Speaking to a doctor prior to a new diet or weight loss plan is a good idea.  They may be able to give you alternative diets or suggest vitamin or minerals to supplement your diet with since you'll be avoiding or minimizing your vegetable intake.  Review your current weight, weight goals, medications and health history with your doctor. Your doctor also may be able to refer you to a local dietitian for additional help. These nutrition experts will be able to guide you on your weight loss diet.  They'll also be able to help provide you with different alternatives for vegetables.  Ask your dietitian for help designing a meal or eating plan that doesn't focus heavily on vegetables but that could still produce weight loss. To find a dietitian in your area, visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right. Setting goals for yourself with a weight loss plan can help you keep you on track and help you stay motivated.  Be specific with your goals.  You want to set goals that are specific and realistic for you.  Also give yourself an end date. Remember, a large amount of weight loss in a short period of time is not realistic or healthy.  Focus on losing smaller amounts of weight over longer periods of time. Realize that with a lack of vegetable consumption (and subsequent fiber consumption), weight loss may be slower. Set smaller goals before your long-term goals.  For example, if you want to lose 20 pounds in five months, a smaller goal would be to lose four pounds within the first month. Meal plans can help making dieting and weight loss a bit easier.  You'll have your own plan to follow throughout the week.  Having all your meals and snacks planned can help keep you organized and focused.  Spend some free time writing up an entire week's meals and snacks.  It's much easier to stick to a diet when you have a plan in place. Although you may be avoiding or minimizing the amount of vegetables that you include in your meal plan, make sure you're including all the other food...

Identify negative thinking. Focus on positive thinking. Practice being optimistic. Make an effort to silence your “inner critic. Don’t live in the past.

Chances are, you are good at something. You must have been good enough at what you do to land this job and to hold onto it. Don’t allow negative self-perceptions to rule you. Instead, build up the positive aspects of your work performance. Start by creating a list of everything you are good at doing, ranging from very simple to extremely complex. Anytime you start to feel like you are not clever enough, return to this list and remember that you are. Your physical environment at work can have a huge effect on your mood, contributing to either a positive or negative self-image. Give yourself a boost by creating an upbeat environment. Decorate your desk with bright colors, positive statements, and images that make you happy. If it is allowed, you may also want to invest in an essential oil diffuser and freshen your air with lavender or citrus oils (both proven to reduce stress and improve your mood). Confidence is governed by hormones in your brain. When you feel confident, your brain releases a series of hormones. But researchers have concluded that even when you fake feeling confident, the same hormones are released. In other words, if you fake being self-confident at work, you will quickly become it!  Envision your most confident self. How do you comport yourself? How do you move through the office? How do you dress? Put that vision into action! Even if you don't feel confident on the inside, perform confidence outwardly. Having a optimistic and upbeat attitude toward life is a conscious choice that requires practice. When you are faced with a challenge or a stressful situation, you can choose how you will handle it. If you can manage to cultivate a positive outlook during stressful times, not only will you begin to feel more clever, but others will be drawn to you.

Drinking brandy “neat” means that you are drinking it by itself with no ice or mixer. You taste only the brandy and nothing else, allowing you to fully experience the flavor. Ice will melt and water down the brandy, ruining the flavor. The best brandies should be savored on their own. This will help you enjoy the flavor fully, heightening your experience and allowing you to truly get a taste of the best brandy experience. A brandy snifter or brandy balloon is a short glass with a wide base whose sides taper in at the top. It will have a short stem and come in many sizes, although no more than 2 ounces (60 ml) will usually be served at a time. These glasses are perfect for drinking brandy because they concentrate the subtle aromas at the top of the glass when nosing or smelling them. A thoroughly clean snifter that has been air-dried prevents other tastes from interfering with that of the brandy. Brandies do not need to breathe like wine does. If you let it sit for too long then some of the volatile alcohols will evaporate. This will lose some of the character of the brandy. Many connoisseurs prefer to warm up the brandy because gentle heat enhances the flavor and aroma. The best way to do this is to simply hold the glass in your hand to gently warm it up. The wide base of the glass makes it easy to warm in your hand.  You also can warm the glass by pouring warm water in it and then pouring out before filling with your brandy. Another way to warm the brandy is to carefully heat the glass over an open flame. Be careful not to overheat! Overheating can cause the alcohol to evaporate and ruin the bouquet and flavor. Do not swill the glass because you can lose some of the subtle aromas in the brandy. Nosing (smelling through your nose) the brandy at this distance will allow you to smell the floral notes and introduces the delicate aromas to your nose. This prevents your senses from being overwhelmed when tasting. Raise the snifter to chin height and take a deep breath through your nose. Nosing at this height will...

TL;DR in English: Learn what neat means. Drink brandy neat when you have a good quality aged brandy. Get a brandy snifter. Serve immediately. Warm up the glass in your hand. Smell the brandy while holding the glass at chest height. Bring the glass to your chin and smell through your nose again. Raise the snifter to directly under your nose and smell through both your mouth and nose. Take a very small sip. Take more sips, starting small and working your way up to bigger sips. Start young and move older if you are tasting multiple brandies. Try not to look at the type and cost of the brandy if you are tasting a number of brandies.

Most clippers come with several snap-on plastic guards. The guards ensure an even trim at the length you want - no one wants to cut their beard too short.  If you're not sure which of two guards is best, start with the longer attachment first. You can always go back over the beard with a shorter guard afterward, but if you trim too short, you can't put it back on. If you don't have a guard available, you can hold a comb in front of the clippers and trim off the hair that slips through the comb's teeth. Maintain balance between each side of your face by always starting at the ears and working down. The guard should keep the trimmer from irritating your skin or cutting too much hair. Start under your nose and move toward the corner of the mouth, then proceed down to your chin. Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas directly under your nose.  Keep your mouth closed to avoid a mouthful of hair! Depending on the length of your beard, it may be easier to trim the mustache separately with scissors. Remove the guard from the trimmer and trim along your neckline to remove the remaining hair on your neck. Use your jaw as a straight edge. If you like, you can also lather and shave your neck, depending on how you like it styled. Some prefer a clean cut-off line for their beard, while others prefer subtle neck stubble.

TL;DR in English: Select a guard. Turn the trimmer on and with a gentle but firm pressure, trim each side of your face, working along the grain using long smooth strokes. Trim your mustache and chin. Finish the trim with a clean edge.

Caffeine increases the number of calories you burn by a small amount, but it may also make you feel like moving more. Drinking a caffeinated beverage with a meal like black tea, green tea, or coffee may increase your metabolic rate by as much as 10%.   Green tea seems to have even more calorie burning properties and it may even block your absorption of carbohydrates.  Keep in mind that drinking coffee or tea plain will take some getting used to, but purchasing high-quality beans or tea leaves will certainly help. Drinking water helps your body burn more calories. One study found that drinking eight cups of water per day helps your body burn about 100 extra calories per day. Consider getting yourself a reusable water bottle to help keep track of how much water you are drinking every day. Your body needs adequate rest each night in order to function properly and burn calories. In addition, being sleep deprived makes it harder for you to do other things that help your body burn calories, like eating well and exercising. Make sure that you sleep for seven to nine hours every night to keep your body burning calories and functioning at its best.

TL;DR in English: Reach for the caffeine, but pass on the sugar and cream. Drink eight glasses of water per day. Sleep for seven to nine hours per night.

You may be sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and not even realize it. Begin by simply becoming aware of negative thoughts, and how they may be affecting you. Some common forms of negative thinking include:  Filtering, or minimizing positive aspects while magnifying the negative. Polarizing, or seeing things as only good or bad with no middle-ground. Catastrophizing, or only imagining the worst-case scenario. With a little practice, you can learn to transform your thoughts. Start by following one simple rule: Don’t say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say about a friend. Be gentle with yourself. Encourage yourself the way you would encourage a close friend. It is a misconception that some people are naturally positive, while others are inherently negative. In reality, optimism takes practice. Try to intentionally see the silver lining. Instead of thinking, “I’ve never done this before,” tell yourself, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.” ” We all have that inner voice that tends to critique or question us. This voice may tell us that we are not good enough, not talented enough, or not worthy of someone’s love. These thoughts are meant to protect you from failure or heartbreak, but in truth, they do nothing but hold you back. When your inner critic speaks up, ask yourself these questions.  Are these thoughts really true? Is it possible that these thoughts are not true? Can I admit that they might not be true? Can I imagine the possibility that really I am good enough, talented enough, and worth of love? If guilt, pain, or regret over past circumstances are bringing you down, you can work to release those emotions.  Make the active choice to let something go. Write it down and/or speak it out loud. Express your pain and/or take responsibility. If there is something you need to say to someone, say it, even if what you need to say is “I’m sorry.” Forgive yourself and others. Try to remember that everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and everyone deserves another chance (even you).

TL;DR in English:


Pick a topic. Build on a story. Use the news as inspiration. Write down everything you can think of. Draft a few jokes based on your brainstorming. Revise your jokes. Record yourself on the go. Joke with your friends and family. Get together for improv sessions with your friends.

Examine all the recipes you have on your cookbook theme. Sort through them for recipes that you think taste the best and that you'd like to include in the cookbook. Select 10 to 15% more recipes than you plan on putting in the cookbook. Avoid including recipes that you have had trouble making or aren't passionate about. Think about the recipes that you've made for other people. If any of them were a big hit, include them in the cookbook. Test more recipes than you think you'll need, since you may change your mind about using some of them. As you test, write very detailed descriptions of how to make each recipe. Include helpful tips to encourage your readers to make the food. Try to give substitutions for ingredients and variations for the recipes.  For example, instead of saying, "Cream the butter and sugar," instruct your readers to, "Beat room temperature butter with the sugar on medium speed until it's light and fluffy." Ask other people to test your recipes. This way you can get feedback about how clear your instructions were, how the food tasted, and where you need to improve the recipe. Read over all of the testing notes and any feedback you got from others. Create a detailed recipe by explaining how to cook or assemble the ingredients. Be as clear and thorough as you can so people of many skill levels can cook your food. Diagrams and illustrations may be as helpful as photos in some cases. If you can't draw, find someone who is willing to help out. High-resolution, quality photos help the reader imagine the end result of a recipe and inspire them to make the dish. Decide if you'd like to take a photo for every recipe or just include a few for each chapter. If your photography skills need brushing up, take a quick class or learn how to use photo-editing software to edit the pictures. You can also hire a photographer to photograph your food, but this will add to the cost of making your cookbook. All the recipes in your book should be written by you or at least changed in some way to make them your own....

TL;DR in English: Gather your own recipes. Make the recipes and write down tips. Write each recipe as you want it to appear in the cookbook. Take photographs of the food. Give proper credit to others.

If you're going to throw your knife away, bubble wrap is your best option. This safely coats the blade, preventing injury and accident during disposal.  You might want to wrap the knife in butcher paper first. Then, wrap the knife in a few layers of bubble wrap.  If necessary, wrap a layer of duct tape around the bubble wrap to keep it secure. You should consider adding an additional layer of cardboard when disposing of a knife. Place it in an old shoebox or other cardboard container before throwing it out. This may also be effective if you plan on donating the knife. If you do not have cardboard or bubble wrap, you can use newspaper, old clothes, socks, or any material you can easily wrap around the blade. Simply wrap the knife in a few layers of your chosen materials. If necessary, wrap some tape around the material to keep the knife in place.

TL;DR in English: Use bubble wrap. Try cardboard. Make use of other materials.

If you are experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, or altered vital signs (such as a fast heart rate and an increased respiratory rate), you may have a more severe form of dehydration that warrants professional medical attention. The most common causes of severe dehydration are heat stroke (from spending too much time in the sun), extreme endurance sports, and illnesses that involve diarrhea and/or vomiting. If you believe you may have any of these medical conditions, or if you are worried that you may have severe dehydration, it is best to see a doctor sooner rather than later for treatment. IV (intravenous) fluids are the fastest and most efficient way to replace fluids if you are suffering from severe dehydration. This is because the fluid is injected straight into your vein, rather than having to go the long route of being absorbed by your digestive system. IV fluids are also tailored to your specific needs with the perfect balance of fluid, salt, and calories to optimize your body's hydration and overall health. If you have an illness such as diarrhea and/or vomiting, you may not be able to consume fluids orally (due to nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhea which prevents absorption); therefore, IV fluids may be your only option in severe cases. It is important to understand that severe cases of dehydration require not only fluids for treatment, but also diagnosing and resolving the underlying cause of the dehydration — a job best accomplished by an experienced physician. If you try to rehydrate yourself without first identifying the cause of the problem, it is unlikely to lead to a long-term or permanent solution; therefore, if in doubt it is best to see a doctor who can guide you through the steps to getting properly hydrated and in good health once again.  The specific diagnosis underlying dehydration also affects the treatment course, in many cases. This is another reason why identifying the underlying cause is key. If you suffer from a chronic disease such as congestive heart failure,...

TL;DR in English: Recognize signs of severe dehydration. Get IV fluids. Get a diagnosis for the underlying cause of your dehydration.

Don’t be in too big of a hurry to stand up or make the trip to the podium. Walk slowly to your mark, being relaxed and deliberate. Stretch the time you have and use it to prepare yourself and consider what your opening lines will be.  Most of the time when you’re giving an impromptu speech, you’ll be singled out to say a few words on the spot. Since you’ll only have a few moments, preparing yourself is more about getting yourself in the right state of mind than it is knowing exactly what you’re going to say.  If you really need to milk it, you can buy yourself some extra time by shaking hands, exchanging pleasantries or adjusting the microphone stand before speaking. Take a few slow, deep breaths to collect yourself. Let your mind settle so you can concentrate on the task at hand. Shut out all unnecessary distractions that might steal your attention and stifle anxious thoughts that might cause you to doubt yourself.  Assume that everyone around you wants to see you succeed. This will help put you at ease. Expecting yourself to fail will only destroy your composure and make you more fearful of your audience. Confront the reality of your situation to avoid being blindsided by panic. Accept that you have to give a speech and then focus all your resources on giving a good one. Face your audience boldly and smile. Make eye contact with those closest to you. Display confident body language—try not to fidget, tremble or arrange yourself awkwardly. Think positive thoughts to reassure yourself. For you to come off as interesting, witty and engaging, you have to believe that you are.  Oftentimes, the more confident you make yourself appear, the more confident you’ll feel. Relax! Speaking in front of a crowd is not that big a deal. Even if you make a mistake, it’s not the end of the world. In a few words, let everyone know who you are. Tell them your name and describe yourself and your relation to the event or role as a speaker. You might also thank everyone for their presence and attention. Don’t avert to the fact that...

TL;DR in English: Take your time getting ready to speak. Calm your nerves. Project a confident aura. Make a short introduction.

You can find whole cloves and ground cloves at your local health food store. If you decide to use whole cloves, you will need to buy at least five to ten whole cloves to make enough oil to fill a one ounce glass container. If you decide to use ground cloves, you will need at least one to two teaspoons of ground cloves to fill a one ounce glass container.  Keep in mind the more whole or ground cloves you use, the stronger the oil will be. You should then adjust the dosage of the clove oil if the oil itself is stronger and more potent. If you use ground cloves, you may decide to strain out the cloves once the oil is made. This is based on preference only and is not required to make an effective bottle of clove oil. The olive oil will act as the carrier oil and will help to extract the properties from the cloves. You can use extra virgin olive oil or virgin olive oil. The amount of olive oil needed for the clove oil will depend on how much clove oil you plan to make. You will need no more than one ounce of olive oil to make one ounce of clove oil. A dark, sanitized glass jar will ensure the oil does not spoil or get contaminated. Use a jar with an eye dropper for easy application of the clove oil. You can also use a clear glass jar with an air tight lid to store the clove oil. You can put the glass jar in a paper bag and store it in a dark place to ensure the oil does not spoil. Once the cloves and the oil are combined and have had time to settle, you can decide to leave the cloves in the oil or strain out the cloves. You can buy cheesecloth at your local baking store or create an easy strainer with a coffee filter.

TL;DR in English: Buy cloves at your local health food store. Get a bottle of organic extra virgin olive oil. Find a dark, sanitized glass jar to keep the oil in. Use cheesecloth or a coffee filter to strain the oil.

There are plenty of ways to pick topics for jokes. You can start with prompts that help you think of things you feel strongly about. When you have a list, think about whether anything you've written down has the potential to be funny.  Ask yourself what you love. For example, maybe you have a serious love of Renaissance festivals. What could be funny about that? Do you always wear a costume that gets you funny looks in public? Are there certain "types" of people who attend the festivals that you could describe in a funny way? Consider what you hate. Maybe you hate spiders. You could come up with great jokes based on why you hate spiders: tell a story about a time you tried to kill a spider by yourself. Or describe spiders themselves in a funny way. Think about what annoys you. The things that might annoy you are a great source for comedy. Describe how annoying the subway is – people sitting too close, a couple making out in the corner, the one guy who always has his music playing without headphones. If you've already got a funny story you like to tell, use it for the base of your jokes. Build on it by telling jokes or other stories that are related. For example, if you have a really funny story about going to a theme park, use that as your base story. Then write other jokes related to theme parks – they could be about the food, waiting in line, or dealing with kids. Look for news stories that strike you as particularly ridiculous or funny or outrageous. Then make it personal using the following formula: "X happened in the news. If I did that/if that happened to me..." and fill in the rest.  Not everything that comes out of this exercise will be funny, but you'll occasionally get some good stuff! For example, if you see a news story about politicians behaving badly, you could use that. You could start the joke by saying something like "Senator Smith just spent $100,000 on a private plane for his wife. If I spent $100,000 on a private plane I'd have a plane but no wife." Once you have a topic in mind, sit down...

The better you know the sport, the better you'll be able to play, knowing what to expect and how to work on potential problems. You can ask just about anyone who knows the sport, but also check websites, ask coaches, and join a team. Play, play, and play some more until it becomes a part of you. Understand that basketball is both a physical and mental sport.  They are both extremely important. If you lack in one area, focus on trying to improve in that area without forgetting the other. For example, if you need to work on your dribbling, but just finished working on your dribble, dribble up to the hoop from half-court, and shoot a layup. Get down to a gym and start working out. Lesser players can beat the greatest talent if they can outrun and outlast their opponent. Michael Jordan is quoted to have said that the best players are good scorers, good defensive players, and good team players. To be all three, you've got to be in great shape. Here are some exercises to help you out:   Push-ups. Lots of push-ups and in different varieties, like fingertip push-ups. You will be amazed  at how much better you can palm the ball if you have strong fingers.  Even if you think you don't have large enough hands to palm the ball, it  can be done if you have stronger fingers.  Core workouts. Work on your core strength with abdominal crunches, leg lifts, planks, lower back extensions, etc. If you have a strong core you will be  able to take a hit and still finish strong at the rim.  Jump rope. Seems like a sissy activity, but it works! Jump rope as fast, long, and hard as you can. The better you can do this, the faster  footwork you can have on the court.  Jumping. Increase your vertical leap. If you're fast, agile, and  can jump, you can get rebounds even over a taller player. Most super-tall guys don't put all their effort into rebounds since they don't have  to. You can beat them if you work at it. like a madman. If you ever find yourself having to concentrate or focus  on your dribbling, then you're not good enough to go...

TL;DR in English: Learn all the game's rules like the back of your hand. Get yourself in the best physical shape possible. Dribble Work on your shooting skills. Use "BEEF" when shooting.

Consider dropping your own assessments of their problem and related ideas about how to fix things. Instead, consider ways you could be more empathetic. For instance, consider letting go of your desire to fix their problem and try to understand the details of their situation. You may not agree with their interpretation of their situation, but you should still listen attentively and try to understand them. Often, unsolicited advice comes from a place of not adequately understanding the situation or challenge that another person is going through. To move beyond this problem, you could try to understand and empathize with the challenge that they are going through. It might help to ask them clarifying questions:  “Can you tell me a little more about that?” “That sounds really tough. I’m not sure I understand how you got into that situation. Can you remind me how that happened?” After listening attentively, you can ask them directly how you could help out. They may simply say that you are helping by offering an attentive ear. If they need something specific, they may tell you. If they are specifically looking for advice, they will have the opportunity to ask you for it. Try saying:  “I’m here anytime you need me. Really, anything you need.” “What can I do to help?” Advice that is specifically requested is much more appreciated than unsolicited advice. If you are called upon to give advice, you can go ahead and offer your two cents on how to resolve the situation. Give advice if they ask the following kinds of questions:  "I really need advice on how to resolve this situation with my brother. I'm at a loss right now. Do you have any experience that would help?" "Have you ever dealt with a family member dealing with depression? Do you have any advice based on that experience?" Rather than telling them specific things to do, you should convey your care for them and listen to their problems. You shouldn’t promise to keep any secrets, since you may have to convey the information to a mental health professional. Listen...

TL;DR in English: Stop trying to fix their problems. Try to understand their state of affairs. Ask how you can help. Give advice if they specifically ask for it. Talk to them if they are at risk of self harm.

This method looks to get as much of the air and mineral impurities out of the water as possible before freezing, start with already distilled water. Filtered bottled water will work, or any water purified by reverse osmosis. oil the water twice. Boiling removes air bubbles from the liquid, allowing the water molecules to stick together even harder in the freezer.  After boiling the first time, allow the water to cool. Then boil again. Keep the cooling water covered to prevent any dust from collecting on the surface. Make sure that you have let the water cool a bit before pouring it in the tray so that it doesn't melt the plastic. If you really want to impress, try making extra-large clear ice cubes and ice spheres. Nothing like drinking a cocktail on one very large rock. Leave it for few hours to freeze.

Conditioning may be the most important thing you can do for curly hair. Curly hair is already more prone to dryness and damage/breakage than other types. So keeping it moisturized with conditioner is essential for healthy curly hair. You can condition your hair while in the shower, or try some leave-in conditioner. These products will likely contain the same ingredients as products designated for curly hair. They’ll target the dryness and breakages, and that’s what matters. These ingredients will dry your hair out even more and lead to more damage. Many hair products are alcohol and silicone free; you just have to look at the labels to figure out which ones are. Many experts swear by the dry/no shampoo method. This is when you wash your hair with just water, or you only use conditioner in the shower (but no shampoo). This is meant to help your hair combat dryness and breakage.

TL;DR in English: Condition your curly hair. Use shampoo/conditioner for heat damaged hair. Avoid products with alcohol or silicone. Try the dry/no shampoo method.

Once again, go over the surface with the shoe brush to fluff up the nap that’s been weighed down by the dye. It may help to waft a hairdryer over the shoes while you do this to make sure every last fiber is completely dry. If you’re using the same brush as before, clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water or acetone to strip the remaining dye before putting it to work again. A quality silicone or acrylic waterproofer will help preserve the updated color. Hold the can 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) away from the shoe and mist on a light, even coating. Once the waterproofing has dried completely (which could take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour), you’ll be able to model your new shoes with confidence.  Aim for full coverage from heel to toe, but avoid oversaturating the suede. The clear, odorless waterproofing agent works by filling in the tiny gaps in the soft fabric, creating a barrier that repels water. Brush out the suede every once in a while to dislodge clinging debris. To deal with stains and buildup from other substances like mud, it's best to lightly scrub the suede with a modest amount of water, as you did with your preliminary cleaning. The wisest course of action, however, is to keep them from getting dirty in the first place. Excessive moisture could simply spread the stain around, or worse, cause the dye to bleed. Even with the waterproofing spray, the dye will be prone to running when exposed to moisture. Save your refurbished footwear for clear days, and do your best to steer clear of puddles, sprinklers, wet grass, and other watery pitfalls. When worn cautiously, you can get many more years of use out of your favorite shoes.  Dyed athletic shoes could become blotchy or faded after a few sweaty workouts. It may be a good idea to keep a spare change of shoes with you if the forecast is calling for rain.

Once safely inside the bag, the shoes should find their way to the top shelf of your closet or...

Some of the major personal risk factors for prostate cancer are age and family history. The risk of prostate cancer increases the older you get. Although approximately 75% of the cases of prostate cancer have no pattern or order, about 20% of those with prostate cancer have had cases of the disease in their family previously. There are also approximately 5% of cases that are hereditary.  More than 80% of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65. If you have a first-degree relative, which would be a father, brother, or son, with prostate cancer, your risk of developing prostate cancer is two to three times higher than the average risk.  If you have BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, you are more likely to develop prostate cancer. Your doctor can test to see if you carry these genes. There may be a correlation between prostate cancer, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio. This means carrying fat around your waist may increase your chances of developing prostate cancer. If you are African-American, the risk of prostate cancer is 60% higher than if you are Caucasian. African-American males are also twice as likely to die from prostate cancer and develop prostate cancer at an earlier age than Caucasian males. The hormones that your body naturally produce can contribute to the development of prostate cancer. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is responsible for the deep voice, increased muscle mass, and strong bones that are prevalent in males. It is also responsible for the male sex drive and sexual performance and contributes to aggression. The growth of prostate cells is stimulated when testosterone is naturally converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).  According to studies, excess levels of DHT have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer. Another hormone implicated in the development of prostate cancer is excessive levels of insulin growth-like factor 1 (IGF-1). There is a modest increase in prostate cancer in men who have the high levels of IGF-1.

TL;DR in English: Learn about personal risk factors. Know the role race plays. Discover how hormones contribute.

If you are confident that the screen is as clean as it can be, you can apply the final rinse.  Use the hose once more to gently spray the remaining cleaning solution or dirt off of the screen.  Make sure you've totally rinsed the screen off before letting it dry and reinstalling it.  Do not use a high pressure or high power setting on the hose. Make sure you have sprayed the entire screen down. It can be a good idea to rinse the screen on both sides. If you are happy with the way the screen looks, you'll want to give it plenty of time to fully dry before installing it again.  Try using some of these tips to help you dry the window screens quickly and completely:  Wipe the screens down with a dry cloth or towel. Try gently shaking the screen off to remove some of the extra water. Lean the screen up against a wall to allow the water to a way to run off. Try leaving the screen somewhere in direct sunlight to help speed up the drying process. Once the screen is dry and you're happy with the way it looks, it's time to put it back in the window frame.  Replacing the screen can be done by reversing the steps you took to remove it.  Make sure the screen is securely in place to complete your window screen cleaning project.

TL;DR in English: Rinse the screen. Allow the screen to dry. Reinstall the window screen.

Get a nice big cardboard box. You may be able to ask for one at your local supermarket. It must be in good condition, and must be big enough to hold your cat. Using a pair of scissors or a box-cutter, carefully remove the top “flaps” from the box. You may want to save these for future art projects. Leave the bottom “flaps” intact. You are going to create a U-shaped opening in the front of your box to act as a doorway for your cat. First, take a pencil and mark the location you plan to cut. Then, using your scissors or box-cutter, carefully cut this opening in your box. Using construction paper or fabric, and some craft glue, decorate the outside of your box. This will transform your cardboard box into an attractive cat bed. The final step is to create a soft area inside the box for your cat to rest upon. This may be a folded up towel, some quilt backing, stuffing, or a pillow the right size. Place your soft materials in the bottom of your box, and your cat bed is ready for use!

TL;DR in English: Find a box. Remove the flaps from the box. Cut an opening in the front. Decorate the outside of the box. Line the inside of the box.

You can purchase anti-moth paper or paper strips that can be placed in your wardrobe, drawers, boxes, garment bags, or pantry. This paper will kill the larvae and the moths. Cedar balls are a great natural replacement for pesticides. Cedar contains an oil that kills small moth worms, but they don’t have much of an effect on larger worms or adult moths. Hanging a cedar ball in your closet or laying one in your dresser drawer can help, though it won’t solve all of your problems. You can also use cedar hangers. To be effective and safe, your mothballs should only be used when you’re storing your clothes in an airtight container. Place the mothballs in with the clothing, then seal it off. Mothballs do not work immediately, but they contain chemicals whose vapors can build up and kill moths in all stages of their life cycle. Wear gloves while handling mothballs because they can be toxic. Moths naturally avoid bay leaves, which you may keep in your kitchen already. For an easy and safe moth repellant, lay out a few bay leaves in your cabinets and pantries. Moths tend to avoid the smell of lavender, peppermint, cloves, thyme, and rosemary. Place your dried herbs in a breathable bag, and then add it to your closets, drawers, and storage areas. The scent of the herbs will ward off the bugs. You can use one herb or a combination of herbs in your sachets.

TL;DR in English: Use anti-moth paper or strips. Place cedar balls anywhere you store clothing. Use mothballs. Add bay leaves to kitchen cabinets. Make your own herb sachets.

to 350ºF (176ºC). If you don't have an oven, it is possible to toast the hazelnuts on a stovetop. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the nuts (don't use any oil or spray, as the nuts are naturally oily) and stir constantly with a spatula until golden brown. The hazelnuts should fit on the sheet in a single layer--they should not overlap or sit on top of each other or they may bake unevenly or steam instead of toast.  You can also line the baking pan with a silicone sheet, which is reusable and easy to clean. Use a rimmed baking sheet so the hazelnuts don't roll off as you put them in the oven. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. If you don't have the time or means to toast the hazelnuts, you can purchase dry roasted, unsalted hazelnuts at some grocery stores and use them instead.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven Spread 1 cup hazelnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10-12 minutes.The skins should be browned and slightly blistered when done.

They're probably the factor that determine whether you're glamorous... or not. Go for classic cuts and models, which show the line of your body. Once again, invest in something of exceptional quality. The fabrics should be soft and smooth, like silk, jersey, and cashmere. Glamour style is, above all, elegant and sophisticated. Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are good sources of inspiration. Avoid clothes that look too old, sporty, or messy. It is very important that you choose the image you wish to portray; there are many ways to look glamorous, and each one of them has its specific elements you must follow in order to portray that image. Here are some of them:   Old Hollywood glamour- think Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren. Its attributes are red lips, platinum blonde hair, diamonds, fur and '40s dressing style. Hair is very important; old Hollywood hairstyles are short-to-medium length, wavy and dyed blonde or black. As for makeup, wear red lipstick and use black mascara. Wear medium-length dresses and skirts, diamond earrings and fur coats.  Urban chic glamour- think Audrey Hepburn. Sleek lines, straight hair, and elegant, simple design- it's the favorite look of the wealthy New York women.  To get this look, wear trench coats, black tights, stiletto heels, little black dresses, business suits and simple, delicate jewelry. The most used colors are the neutral ones: black, white, and beige; however, bright colors are welcome too, but in smaller amounts. Oversized sunglasses are a must. Wear precious fabrics like silk, cashmere and jersey; the fabrics must be as high quality as you can find. Avoid wearing jeans. Accessorize with huge handbags, fine jewelry and watches. As for makeup and hairstyle, long hair and the classic bob style are definitely the most acceptable; the makeup is very natural.  Opulent diva glamour- the more expensive and rich-looking it is, the better. Everything is allowed here: excessive jewelry, glitter, feathers, heavy makeup- as long as it's not (too) tacky, it's acceptable. To get...

Clean the skin at the treatment site.

Covering your plants are the most effective way to prevent birds from eating your grapes. For added protection or to deter particularly relentless birds, however, you can try repellents as an added precaution. Garlic oil is a natural bird repellent that can teach birds to avoid your garden over time. Spray birdseed with garlic oil and set up a bird feeder near your grapevines. Put the garlic oil-covered seeds in the bird feeder and check whether fewer birds infest your garden over time. Garlic oil's strong odor can also repel some insects. Bird distress calls or predatory animal noises can train birds to avoid a certain area. Search "irritating noises for birds" online and put a recording on the speakers to scare birds from your yard. Wind chimes can also repel birds, if you'd prefer a pleasant-sounding alternative. Ask your neighbors before setting up a tape—you want to drive away birds, not people. Draw menacing faces or predatory animals on your balloons to frighten animals away. Secure the balloons to posts around your garden, and move them every few days to mimic a live predator. If you don't mind a higher electricity bill, strobe lights can also repel birds. Lawn ornaments shaped like predatory animals can keep birds away. Look for ornaments shaped like owls, foxes, or snakes online or at your local garden center and set them up near your garden.  Move the lawn ornaments every few days to trick the birds into thinking they're alive If you cannot find any lawn ornaments, you can also cut outlines shaped like predatory animals out of black paper and secure them to a flat surface. Killing wild birds is illegal in most countries, and poisonous bird repellents could contaminate your grapes. Purchase a non-toxic repellent, preferably made from natural ingredients, and spray it as needed around your garden.  You can get non-toxic bird repellents online or at some nursery garden centers. Ask the store employee for advice on repellents that are safe to use near your garden. Check the bird repellent's directions...

TL;DR in English: Use bird repellents as a supplement to bags, tulle, or netting. Fill a bird feeder with garlic oil-laced seed. Set up a tape of irritating noises or wind chimes. Tie shiny Mylar balloons near your grapevines. Put up lawn ornaments of common bird predators. Spray a non-toxic bird repellent. Set up bird wire in your yard.

If you only want to skip a few periods, say that you have a dentist or doctor's appointment, or that you need to miss school for a family commitment. Usually, you won't want to try to fake a parent's voice — the office isn't stupid — so it's usually best to come up with someone else to cover for you, then share. Older siblings and cousins might be up for calling you out of school, likewise friendly neighbors or a sibling of one of your friends. Make sure they keep the conversation brief and non-specific. It's best if you can actually have a real appointment or reason to miss school. You might consider telling your parent the orthodontist scheduled you an appointment when you really haven't got one, or that they need to call you out for an appointment with your coach to go over plays for the weekend's game. A call from your parents will seem more real, even if the appointment isn't. When you're making a fake appointment, it's best if you can keep it as vague and non-specific as you can to avoid causing suspicion. If you get your brother to call you in and say, "He's got a doctor's appointment this morning and he's not going to be able to make it in today," the office will be unlikely to question it.

TL;DR in English: Call yourself out for the entire day or a certain period. Make or fake an appointment. Be as general as possible.

Depending on where you live you will have better luck with some grass varieties than others. Grasses fall into two basic categories: warm-season and cool-season.  Warm-season grasses will be able to survive a brutal summer and tend to do well in the southern states. Choose from varieties such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Kikuyu.  Cool-season grasses handle cold much better than warm-season grasses. They can tolerate freezing temperatures and some drought. Don't expect them to survive the heat or go longer than 4 weeks without water. Kentucky bluegrass is a popular cool-season grass. If you choose a warm-season grass, plant in late spring. If you choose a cold-season grass, plant in late summer or early fall. If you're going with sod, the time of year doesn't matter as much, though summer may still be too hot. Before you get started planting grass, you'll need to make sure your soil is in good condition. It's a good idea to test your soil. Soil testing will give you an idea of how much fertilizer to use, and what kind.  It is difficult to amend soil in an established lawn.  If you need to add fertilizer work it into the first 4-6 inches. This is a critical step. Soil preparation is the most important part of healthy lawn growth. Your goal is a soil that is loose, rich in organic matter, and able to hold moisture while draining well.  Clear the area of all weeds, rocks, and roots. Using a shovel dig up any large objects in the area where you'll be planting grass. Make sure you get rid of all weed roots.  You may have to use a chemical weed killer to get rid of weeds completely. If you must use chemicals, refer to the manufacturer for instructions on how much to use.  Till your soil either by hand or using a rototiller depending on the size of the area.  This is the perfect opportunity to mix any compost or other amendments to your soil.  Add gypsum to your soil to improve drainage. Now that you've cleared and tilled the area, it is ready for leveling. Use a garden rake and smooth out the entire area. Fill in...

TL;DR in English: Pick which grass is best for your climate. Know when to start. Test your soil. Prepare your soil. Level out the area.

Gifted does not mean mere intelligence or book smarts. Gifted people excel at a variety of activities and in a number of different ways. Extraordinary talents can be expressed through art, athletics, communication, mechanics, and more. This means that a gifted student will not always be at the top of the class in every subject, but might just excel in one particular subject. Being a well-adjusted and successful gifted student means that you should be proud of all aspects of who you are. This includes your intelligence, but pride in self should transcend mere intelligence. You should be confident in who you are as a family member, an athlete, and a friend. At the same time, don’t let this go to your head. And remember, you are not the center of the universe! Be proud, but practice humility. Remember that there is always more to learn, and that every experience is a learning opportunity. Embrace the fact that you are a student. Being a student is a privileged position. You have the benefit of learning from teachers and professors who have substantial education and life experience. Approach your knowledge and experience limitations as an opportunity to grow and learn from others. Expect that you may not be good at everything just because you are gifted. Being gifted does not mean that you have to succeed or can succeed at everything. Recognize where your talents lie, and set your expectations accordingly.

TL;DR in English: Understand what being gifted really means. Be proud of all your assets, not just your intelligence. Realize that you don’t know everything. Avoid unrealistic expectations for yourself.

While most razors you see in the store are considered safety razors, many of them are disposable, meaning you throw the whole razor away. Instead of buying disposables, look for one where you just replace the blade. You'll have a lot less waste overall.  This type of razor is more expensive in the beginning. However, replacing blades is usually less expensive than replacing the whole razor. Other razors use a cartridge system, where you just replace the head instead of the whole razor. After you're done shaving, dry off the blade. Put a little baby oil on the blade. The baby oil will help keep it rust-free, making your blade last longer. That reduces the number of blades you're throwing away or recycling. This step can also help keep the blades sharp. The blades on electric razors typically need to be changed less often than safety razors. Plus, even though electric razors use electricity, you generally use less energy overall. That's because when you shave with a safety razor, you typically use a significant amount of hot water, which also takes energy.

TL;DR in English: Use safety razors with replaceable blades. Keep your blades rust-free by putting baby oil on the blade. Switch to an electric razor to reduce waste.

The skin should be as light as possible at the time of treatment. For this reason, many people choose to undergo laser treatment during winter. Apply sunscreen with at least an SPF 15 if you do need to spend time outdoors, and the area you wish to have hair removed by laser will be exposed to UVA/UVB rays. Shaving is fine, but these other hair removal techniques can reduce the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Also, the hair should not be bleached. This is usually a day or two before the appointment. The hair follicles should be visible, but it can be more painful if longer hair is present during the laser hair removal.  Leave it free of cosmetics, lotions and creams. If you apply deodorant, it will be removed prior to treatment.

TL;DR in English:


Wait until your dog starts eating the cat's food. Tell your dog to “leave it. Use a spray bottle to discourage your dog from eating the cat food. Startle your dog with a loud noise when he eats the cat food. Reward the dog when he eats his own food. Avoid yelling.

You might not be able to find a book that addresses the child's issues, or you may not feel that the books available are appropriate to your child. You may decide to create your own story about a child facing a similar problem.  You can decide if you want to write out the story, and perhaps illustrate it, or tell the story aloud to the child. Look for a bibliotherapy or writing group nearby where you can get support and assistance. Meetup.com is a great place to start looking. Think of ways the child exhibits a particular behavior or deals with a certain situation, common consequences to the child's actions, and the outcome you would like to see.  Describe the child's current behavior or situation at the beginning of the story. Have the child engage in this behavior and then receive consequences for their actions. Or, the child is exposed to a new situation and doesn't know how to handle it. Describe the character's reaction to the situation. For example, “When Sally the Bunny was teased on the playground, her ears drooped and she got very quiet.” Or, “Even though the teacher had already told him to raise his hand, Johnny couldn't resist shouting out the answer again. The teacher told Johnny to stay after school.” The child should be able to relate to the main character's “crisis” in the story. Enter a character like parent, teacher, or someone older and respected. This character connects with the protagonist and helps them understand what they are feeling, giving them ways to change their behavior. Present a solution that you think your child would be willing to try.  Give the character another opportunity to face the same situation, this time using the techniques they learned to successfully solve the problem. For example, “After talking to Miss Cabbage, Little Onion knew just what to say when the other kids at Vegetable School called her stinky. And she made sure to take a good bath in the sink that night.” Your character in the story will successfully face the situation in the story using the new behavior...

TL;DR in English: Consider writing your own story. Develop a story. Keep the story light and fictional.

These small, circular or flower-shaped adhesive coverings are meant to cover only your nipples, so they’re a great option for low-cut tops and thin or sheer fabrics that might make your nipples visible. Stick the adhesive side onto your nipple and press it down gently. Look for a color close your skin tone for the least noticeable solution.  You can buy stick-on nipple covers online or in stores that sell bras and related accessories. Wash the covers with gentle soap and water after use and store them in their original packaging to reuse. The adhesive will wear out eventually, but many covers come with a 30 to 50-wear guarantee. Like the silicon nipple covers, pasties are placed directly over your nipple and stay on using a sticky adhesive. They’re cheaper and come in packs of 4-6, because they’re meant to be for one-time use. Some people prefer pasties because they’re less noticeable under tight shirts than silicon covers, which are thick and might stand out under a tight fabric. On the flip side, pasties might not be as adept at concealing your nipples when they harden. Try both nipple covers and pasties to see which works best at concealing your nipples. Cut the pad in half, then cut out 2 circles large enough to cover your nipples, keeping the paper covering the adhesive in place. Stick them on over your nipples and throw them away when you’re done.  Like pasties, this method might not conceal hard nipples well under a tight shirt. Try it at home before you wear it out. You can also use small bandages or surgical tape.

TL;DR in English: Wear reusable silicone nipple covers under thin fabrics. Try disposable pasties for a cheap, one-time cover-up. Cut a panty liner for a cheap DIY stick-on covering.

There are many options, from light body sprays to the stronger perfumes and colognes. Fragrances smell slightly different on every person, so make sure you’ve tried yours on ahead of time to ensure you like the way it smells on you.  Keep in mind that strong fragrances bother some people, so keep in light if you decide to go this route. You may choose to skip it altogether if you are going to be very active that day, or if you will be in tight quarters with people. Another reason you may skip this step is if your deodorant is scented. You don't want too many competing scents. Perfume and cologne are totally optional! This is also optional, but makes some people feel more confident. There are many different kinds of makeup you can try, and the options can be overwhelming if you don’t use makeup often. Just try different products until you find the ones you feel the best in.  If you decide to wear make up, try to keep it looking natural and refrain from applying too many colors or products on the same day. Always apply makeup on a clean face and remember to wash it off at the end of the day. Keep your backpack and purse (if applicable) tidy. You could have the best outfit and hair in school, but fumbling around with crumpled papers and items falling out of your bag could make you appear disheveled. You look great and you are totally ready for school. Go get ‘em!

TL;DR in English: Decide whether you want to wear perfume or cologne. Apply makeup if you’d like. Get organized! Smile!

Start by making a “C” with your index finger, middle finger, and thumb. Get these 3 fingers into position around the ball. If you're a right-handed pitcher, rotate the ball so the holes point toward your right side. If you're a left-handed pitcher then point the holes toward your left.  Make sure that your hands don't cover any of the openings for this pitch. Throw this right down the middle rather than angling your arm. This is the most common—and possibly the easiest—Wiffle ball pitch. Or aim the holes toward the right if you’re a left-handed pitcher. Create a “C” with your index finger, middle finger, and thumb, then place your hands around the ball without covering any of the holes. Let the ball slide off your fingers when you throw it to give it some spin. When throwing this pitch, angle it away from the batter, across your body, to accomodate for the break. With the holes pointed upwards, place your index and middle fingers on the spaces between the holes. Keep your thumb directly below them on the smooth side of the ball so that your hand forms a “C” shape. Make sure you use a relatively loose, flexible grip with your ring finger barely grazing the ball.  Modify this by covering up 2 of the holes with your top 2 fingers, and try pitching this at a variety of arm angles. Use a scuffed ball, or a ball you’ve scratched and scored so it has a rougher texture, to throw a more powerful fastball.  When practicing this, stand close to your target and start with slow arm movements. Once you’re warmed up, back up farther away from the target and speed up your pitch. This will help avoid an injury. Make a "C" with your index finger, middle finger, and thumb as you would for a slider, but position your fingers so they’re running parallel to the ground.  Keep your pinky and ring fingers to the side or try curling them up in the small circle between the holes where the patent number is printed.  Throw this as a sidearm pitch, keeping the release point low. Just before the release point, snap your wrist to get the...

TL;DR in English: Throw a slider by aiming the holes to your right, if you’re right-handed. Position the holes to the left for a screwball, if you’re a right-handed pitcher. Position the holes upward for a straight fastball. Turn your grip sideways with the holes facing down for a riser. Point the holes upwards with a sideways grip for a sinker. Cover up the holes with your middle finger for a 12-6 curveball.

To effectively train your dog to not eat the cat food, you have to wait until he actually does it to discipline him. Otherwise, he won't understand what he did wrong and the training won't work. When you put down the cat food, wait a few minutes and see if the dog goes for it. If he does so, then take corrective action. ” Using the command you’ve taught your dog, show your dog the gesture as you say “leave it” in a firm (but not yelling) voice. If your dog does not respond, you may need to use other tactics to create a negative association between an unpleasant (but not harmful) experience and eating cat food. A spray bottle can startle your dog so he'll associate eating the cat's food with an unpleasant (but harmless) experience and will not want to do it anymore.  Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it near the cat's bowl so you can reach it easily. Wait for your dog to go for the cat food. Then take the spray bottle and send 2 squirts toward the dog. In addition to using a spray bottle to discourage the dog, you could also get a similar effect from startling the dog with a loud noise.This is supposed to scare your dog so he will be discouraged from eating the cat food again.  A few things you could use are a coffee can filled with coins, a whistle, or a magazine smacked against the table. Wait until your dog goes for the cat food and then make the loud, startling noise. Try to make it so that the dog does not know you are the source of the sound. You want him to respond negatively to the sound, not to you. The other side of dog training is rewarding behavior that you want to continue. When the dog eats his own food from his own dish, pile on the praise. Tell him he is a “good boy” and pet him (if he will allow it while he is eating -- some dogs will not). Yelling at your dog is ineffective, as he is unlikely to make the connection between you yelling and his eating. It could just make your dog decide that he’s scared of you, in which case he will wait until you are not there to eat the cat food.

TL;DR in English:
