It’s

Go to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Dress up for a night out on the town. Go back to the place where you first met. Sign up for a class together. Hit up a karaoke bar. Take a day trip to another city. Go hiking or camping.

The classic candlelight dinner for two never loses its appeal. Since it’s a special occasion, don’t be afraid to go the whole nine yards—a bottle of wine, appetizers, a sumptuous main course, and something sweet to split for dessert. If the restaurant you have in mind accepts reservations, call the day before to make sure you’re able to get in. Throw on your finest threads before you head out for drinks or a show. This can be a good opportunity to dust off that cocktail dress or tailored suit that you don’t get many opportunities to wear. Your one year anniversary only comes along once—why not do it up in style?  Decide on a theme or color scheme for your attire so that you’ll both match. Take your boyfriend’s personal style into consideration. If he’s more the casual type, you might compromise by choosing a place where he can get away with wearing a polo shirt shirt rather than a suit and tie. For a more sentimental touch, plan a special outing to where it all began. There, you can share stories about what was running through your mind the first time you laid eyes on one another and talk about how much has changed over the course of a year.  You could even make a stop at a favorite bar or night spot part of an evening full of festivities. A walk down memory lane for two doesn’t have to be limited to a restaurant or coffee shop. Couples who met at the gym, for instance, could partner up for a workout session. Look into special interest activities that you can do as a couple. For example, you might participate in a beginner’s yoga workshop, learn to mix cocktails, or pick up the basics of French cooking. Taking a class will afford you the opportunity to enjoy one another’s company while learning a new skill.  Explore the “Events” page on Facebook to find out more about events being offered in your area.  Remember, it’s your boyfriend’s anniversary too. Drop hints to see how he responds to different ideas before you drag him off to a class he has no interest in. For a more lighthearted evening out, head to a...

"Shalom" is a word that's used in Hebrew to say "hello" or "goodbye." It's also used to say "see you later."
"Shalom" is a word that's used in Hebrew to say "hello" or "goodbye." It's also used to say

Use "shalom" (shah-lohm) to mean also "goodbye. Try "lehitra'ot" (leh-hiht-rah-oht) as an alternative to "shalom. Switch to "yom tov" (yahm tahv) to wish someone a good day. Say "bye" or "yalla bye" to your friends.

" In Hebrew, "shalom" is an all-purpose greeting that can be used both when you're meeting someone and when you're parting ways. If you're not sure exactly what to say, this is an appropriate word to use. "Shalom" is appropriate with anyone, regardless of how old you are or how well you know them. " "Lehitra'ot" is more like saying "see you later," but it's also used as a standard way of saying "goodbye" in Israel. If you learn any other way to say "goodbye" other than "shalom," learn this. This is a little more difficult to pronounce than other basic Hebrew words, such as "shalom," but if you travel to Israel, you'll hear it quite a bit. Just start slow and practice your pronunciation. A native speaker can help you. Just as you might say "have a good day" in English when you're parting ways with someone, Hebrew speakers say "yom tov." While this phrase literally means "good day," it's only used as a parting or farewell phrase, never as a greeting. You can also say "yom nifla" (yahm nee-flah), which means "have a wonderful day." It's a little more enthusiastic than "yom tov," but it's also appropriate in any context with any person. The word "yalla" comes from Arabic and doesn't have an exact English equivalent. However, it's a word that Hebrew speakers use often. Essentially, it means "time to go" or "time to move on." This phrase is informal and casual, so it's best used between friends or when talking to people your age or younger.

The best way to catch a fish is to use a bubble.
The most important thing to remember about bubbles is that they are not a substitute for a good leader. A good leader is the most important part of your fly fishing gear.
The best way to catch a fish is to use a bubble.
The

Cast sidearm. Count down the fly if fishing it underwater. Retrieve slowly. Watch the bubble. Set the hook with a short, sharp motion.

In addition to preventing your leader from casting on overhead branches or otherwise snapping, casting sidearm will permit the bubble to lead the fly during the cast (much like weighted lines lead the leader in fly casting) and let the fly land naturally. Submerged flies should be let fall to a depth of 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 m) before you begin your retrieve. You can test the rate of fall by dropping the fly and bubble in the water and note how long it takes to fall to a particular depth. When you cast the fly, you can count down to this same depth before starting your retrieve. Flies fished on or near the surface should be presented as though they're drifting with the current toward shore, with occasional twitches to mimic struggling. Submerged flies should be fished with a stop-and-go action or with slow pulls to simulate a swimming minnow or crustacean. Your bubble should cause a slight wake in calm water to provide sufficient resistance to the line to help you distinguish between when a fish hits the fly and when the fly hits something else. As with the more familiar, colored, clip-on bobbers, if the bubble suddenly dips or bobs sharply, a fish has taken the fly. This will help drive the hook home. If you fail to set the hook, return to the same slow retrieve you were using. The fish may think it only injured the fly and want to move in for the kill.

Make your space more comforting. Make your space smell good. Clean up your space. Decorate with color.

Surround yourself with things that cheer you up, your favorite images, mementos, plants, or books. Don't forget to improve your lighting. Some people that suffer from seasonal affective disorder experience symptoms of depression if they don't have enough sunlight. If you are in a dim room, open up a window for some natural light. Or, if you are using artificial light, try lighting a lamp or candle to cheer you up. If you are at work and in a poor mood, you can try to introduce things from home to make you feel more comfortable. These might be pictures or a certain air fragrance. You can even try bringing your favorite tea as a warm, soothing reminder from home. Even if your house doesn’t smell bad, a good smelling candle or favorite fragrance can lift your mood. Try aromatherapy, inhaling or topically applying essential oils, to cheer you up and reduce stress. Studies have found that lemon oil in particular elevates and improves mood, while bad smells in general make you feel tense, depressed, or angry. Researchers are uncertain about what makes essential oils and aromatherapy effective. But, they believe that receptors in your nose stimulate parts of your brain which control emotions and memories. Spend some time cleaning or re-organizing your home or office. Research has shown that having clutter in your apartment or at work can increase your stress level greatly which can bring down your mood. Try to declutter the space, which can reduce your stress level and improve your mood. Donate, throw out, or recycle things you no longer need or want. You might even find that organizing things to make them more functional may cheer you up. Color can greatly impact your mood. Consider painting a few rooms or adding decorative elements with a cheerful color to lift your spirits. Yellow is a good choice for brightening a space, while shades of pink might make you feel more playful. Don't think that you have to use the brightest, boldest shade of the color. Even a pale yellow can help you cheer up. Try balancing several...

You can delete temporary files on your computer.
If you're using a computer that doesn't have a built-in file system, you can use a program like WinDirStat to create a temporary file system. This is a temporary file system that you can use to store files that you don't want to lose.

Open your PC's "Run" app. Type "%temp%" into the Run text field. Review the %temp% folder contents. Select a file, then hold Ctrl and tap A. Tap the Delete button.

You'll use Run to open the temporary files folder on your computer. You can open Run by opening the user task menu with ⊞ Win and X on Windows 8 and 10, or you can hold the ⊞ Win key and tap R. Exclude the quotations. This command will open the physical temporary files folder. Click OK or tap ↵ Enter to run this command. Since the files in here are temporary copies, you can delete all of them without worrying about losing information. Keep in mind that you won't be able to delete any temp files currently in use. To counter this, save your work and close all programs before continuing. This will select the contents of your temporary folder. This will delete your temporary folder's contents. Alternatively, you can right-click a file and click "Delete". Windows may ask you for confirmation of your choice to delete these files. If so, click "Confirm" on the pop-up window.

Request permission for a private conversation. Schedule a time that’s convenient for both of you. Plan a face-to-face meeting. Make arrangements for a comfortable place to meet. Ask your support person to be available during the meeting.

Rather than making a public demand or writing a letter, call or speak with your friend or colleague in person.  A conversation is not an argument, so use direct, but warm, tones and general language when you ask for a meeting, such as, "If you have a minute, I'd like to set up a time to speak with you this week." Sending an email message is acceptable, although it may cause some anxiety because it’s less personal and may seem cold or unfeeling. Although the person may push you for details right away, it’s best to make sure that you both have sufficient time for a full conversation. Rushing through between appointments or when you have other plans may lead to confusion and hurt feelings.  Meeting at the end of the workday is the best option for a co-worker or employee, so that he or she doesn’t feel self-conscious all day long.  Plan to set your cell phone to the “Do Not Disturb” setting during the time you choose so that you can avoid distractions and interruptions. Body language and facial expressions make up a significant part of our communication, so meeting in person is important if you want to protect your relationship, whether professional or personal.  Video conferencing, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, is an option, though it can feel impersonal and distant, and you risk technological problems and misunderstandings. A phone meeting might be acceptable, but it may lead to more awkwardness, since you can’t see each other’s expressions or body language. Email isn’t really useful, as the conversation is delayed and broken up, and you can’t see one another’s body language or hear tones of voice. Additionally email poses privacy concerns. Choose a safe, neutral space, like a conference room, outdoor park, or a study area, so neither party has too much dominance in the conversation. If one person feels less powerful in the room, he or she may feel even more nervous or defensive about the situation.  Avoid crowded public places, like coffee shops or restaurants, that might lead to greater embarrassment and...

Buy an Aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen for headaches. Take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce cold symptoms. Take Emetrol if you have stomach pain. Take cough drops throughout the day for a persistent cough. Use a nasal spray for a stuffy nose. Use alternative treatments like Vitamin C and Echinacea.

When a headache is visibly bothering you it is a dead giveaway that you’re sick. Avoid this by purchasing over-the-counter medicine that will reduce your headache if you have one.  Some Aspirin or acetaminophen contain caffeine or a sedative that may be more effective than typical aspirin.  Some popular brands of aspirin and ibuprofen include Advil, Motrin, and Aleve. You can buy over-the-counter cough syrup or cough medicine at most pharmacies. These medicines reduce common cold symptoms like a runny nose, congestion, or a buildup of phlegm or mucus. To help the process, make sure to drink a glass of water after taking the medicine.  Many over-the-counter drugs reduce multiple symptoms. Evaluate all your symptoms and choose the medicine that best fits them. Antihistamines reduce the effects of hay fever and can reduce other symptoms of a cold, like a runny nose and sneezing. Emetrol is a drug that’s used to prevent nausea from a viral or bacterial infection. Take this if you think you may need to vomit during the day.  If you have diabetes you should not take Emetrol as it contains sugar. Do not take more than five doses of Emetrol in one hour. Cough drops can reduce a sore throat and prevent you from coughing. To avoid giving away your sickness, take these regularly throughout the day as directed on their package. Hard candy can also serve as an alternative. Saline sprays can clear up nasal congestion. Always blow your nose before using them. To use them effectively, tip your head back and spray the solution into each nostril.  When you're congested, it’s obvious because it can alter your voice. Make sure to use as directed on the package. You will probably have to spray more than once throughout the day. Taking Vitamin C before the onset of a cold may reduce the duration of your sickness. If you work in a germ heavy environment, it’s probably a good idea to take cautionary measures. Echinacea also has a similar effect and has been shown to reduce the duration of cold symptoms and boost the immune system....

Go all the way around the bikini bottom and fold in by a half-inch (1.7 cm) or inch (2.5 cm).  Pin into place. Because the bikini bottom isn't a huge garment, you can sew it by hand in a reasonable amount of time, if you want to.  However, for a straighter and swifter stitch, use a sewing machine.  Remove the pins as you go. That is, you should be able to see the folds and seams you just did. Where the bikini bottom would sit around your waist, sew the two sides above the leg holes together.

Wrap the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed.
The first step is to wrap the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed.
The second step is to wrap the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed.
The third step is to wrap

Start at the ball of the foot. Wrap the top of the foot. Wrap the ankle. Repeat the figure 8. Fasten the bandage.

Hold one end of the ace bandage against the ball of the foot, with the tail of the bandage extending past the outside of the foot, rather than the inside. Keep the tail rolled so that you can unroll it as you go, rather than dealing with an unwieldy long piece as you're trying to wrap.  For extra support, you can place a gauze pad on either side of the ankle before wrapping. Horseshoe-shaped padding cut from foam or felt is also used for extra stability in compression wraps. Use one hand to hold the end of the bandage against the ball of the foot. Bring the bandage over the foot, from outside to inside, then under the foot for a second wrap. Wrap the foot a total of three times, overlapping each wrap by half.  Use the same tension for each loop of the wrap. It should be firm, but not too tight. Each loop of the wrap should be lined up evenly, rather than going in different directions. Start over if you need to do the job more neatly. After the third wrap, bring the bandage over the top of the foot, around the inside of the ankle, behind the ankle to the other side, and back over the instep and under the foot. The bandage should be woven over the foot and ankle in a figure 8, with the heel exposed. Make two more figure 8s, each time overlapping the bandage by half. When you're finished, the bandage should cover the entire foot and extend up past the ankle.  Smaller feet and legs may not require three full figure 8s with a full-sized ace bandage. Use your judgement to decide whether the wrap looks stable after 2 figure 8s. Ask the person how the wrap feels after you're finished winding the bandage. If he or she complains that it's too tight, start over. Stretch the last segment of the bandage a bit and use the small metal prongs or velcro adhesive to secure the end of the bandage in place. Make sure the wrapping job is free of unnecessary lumps or bulges; it should be comfortable and neat.  Remove the bandage if the toes on the foot turn white or feel numb or tingly. The bandage may be worn for a number of...

Raise the dumbbells out to the sides, just below shoulder-height. Hold the raise for two to three seconds with a slight bend in your elbow.

Slowly lift each dumbbell out to the sides, like wings, until your arms are almost parallel to the ground, almost at shoulder-height. Slowly exhale as you use the muscles in the top of your shoulder to lift the dumbbells. Keep your head straight and aligned with your spine. It the lats are engaged, and the shoulder blades are retracted (as they are supposed to be), it is impossible to lift the arms above shoulder height. If the arms go above shoulder height, the lats are not engaged. If you are doing the exercise correctly, your arms will not go higher than the shoulders. If you are using a resistance band, lift the ends of the band as you raise your arms to shoulder-height or just slightly below. Allow yourself to build a little tension in your shoulder, making the workout more effective. Keep your core engaged and stabilized.  Do not flex your wrists or position your arm so that your wrists are higher than your elbows (they should be roughly at the same height or in line). If your wrists are held too high you will shift the work away from your shoulders.  To prevent this, imagine the dumbbell is actually a bottle of water and you are tilting it forward to pour out the water.

Call the police if you suspect an intruder. Install motion-detecting lighting. Purchase items that can be used as weapons. Own a firearm if you feel comfortable doing so. Keep pepper spray or mace in your house.

If you see a burglar or think someone is breaking into your home, leave your house if you can do so safely. Otherwise, grab your phone and hide. Call the authorities as soon as you can, and avoid the intruder. Designate a safe room in your house. It is best to have a plan in advance, rather than coming up with something on the fly. This will alert you if someone is outside your house. Motion detectors are fairly cheap and easy to install, and you can adjust their distance range and how long the lights stay on after activation.  Keep in mind that animals, cars driving by, and heavy winds can potentially activate motion lights. Also, depending on where you are in your house, you may not even see the lights turn on. While you should avoid confrontation with an intruder if at all possible, you may be in a situation where you have to defend yourself. Baseball bats and golf clubs work well, as well as anything sharp. Make sure to keep any dangerous objects away from children. In case of emergency, any household item can be used as a weapon. You might have easy access to a broom, lamp, or telephone. Keep in mind that guns are very dangerous and you need to know what you are doing. If you purchase a gun, you should take a class or have someone teach you to shoot it properly. Learn about the self defense and gun laws in your area, as it may be illegal for you to shoot an intruder unless they are threatening you.   Laws regarding possession of firearms vary in different cities and states. You might be required to have a background check and take a gun safety class. Store the gun in a secure and safe location. Always keep the safety switch on unless you need to use it. Pepper spray is an effective defense weapon because it doesn't require physical strength or skill. It is cheap and available at many stores and online. It quickly disables burglars and gives you time to call the police.  Keep it well out of reach of young children. If a burglar is in your home and you don't own pepper spray or don't have access to it,...

Dig a square hole in the perimeter of your house. Put a board in the hole, put boards in all parts of the hole except one place (this one place will be the door). Fill up holes, make sure that the boards don't wobble much by filling up the holes. Screw the boards of wood that are your wall together. Seal up the screws. Put in a roof. Make a door (optional). Make windows (optional).

The hole should not be very wide, but should be a foot or 2 deep. This will be the walls of your house.  Do this by putting a small piece of wood on 2 pieces of wall and screwing the ends of the little piece of wood to the pieces of wall. Do this for all parts of the wall. You need to cover the pointy ends of the screws. You probably don't want to get rained on, so you will have to add a roof to your house. For this part, you get a long board of wood, one so long that it can go from one end of your house to the other. Put this board on top of the wall, one end on top of North Wall, the other end on top of the South Wall. (it doesn't have to be North and South, just as long as you use opposite directions. Then, screw the roof board to the wall that is under it. Then continue putting on roof boards. If you want a door, you can put a board on the hole if you want a simple door, but for a more complex door, you should attach hinges to a wall near the door, and attach a board of wood to the other end of the hinge. To make windows, cut out a square in a board before you put it in the hole.

Use back and forward strokes to create a smooth, flat look. Draw in a tight circular motion to add texture to your drawing. Vary the pressure on the pencil to create different shades. Use hatching to create a 3D effect in your drawings. Utilise the cross-hatch technique to create a shadow effect.

This technique is sometimes called the shading stroke because it is perfect for coloring in large areas. Move the pencil back and forth over your paper to create an even and solid color. Use this technique on any types of drawings, including landscapes, sky scenes, portraits, and abstract pictures. Try to keep a consistent pressure when using the back and forward strokes to make the color look even. This is a quick and easy way to make your drawing look 3-dimensional. Simply move your pencil in small circular motions over the paper. Use this circular technique to add realistic texture to clothes, skies, trees, animals, and faces.  Experiment with different sized circular motions on scrap paper to figure out which style you like best. To darken the color, simply overlap the small circles. Similarly, to lighten the color, use slightly larger circles and spread them out a little more. You can get a lot of colors out of one pencil just by changing how hard you press down. Press really gently to create a light color and press firmly to create a darker color. To make objects look 3-dimensional, press harder in areas where you want to create shadows and press lightly in areas that you want to highlight.  This is perfect for drawing sky and water, as it allows you to create the different shades that are found in nature. This helps to make your drawings look more realistic. If you find that you are breaking the lead in your pencil, press a little lighter and color over the same section a few times to achieve the same depth of color. Hatching is a shading technique that involves drawing multiple parallel lines in a row to fill a blank space with color and texture. Don’t worry if there is a little bit of white between the lines, as this helps to accentuate the unique texture that hatching produces.  Draw the lines close together to create deep, solid colors, or separate the lines a little to make the color look lighter and more dispersed. Make the lines the same color to create a solid color, or use different colors to...

Find a quiet space. Get comfortable. Focus on your breath. Open your eyes slowly.

You can meditate anywhere, but it's best to find a quiet place free of distractions. If you're at work and you have an office, try closing the door. If you don't have your own space, you can go for a walk on your lunch break and find a peaceful place away from the office.  If possible, reduce distractions by silencing your cellphone and turning off your computer. Try and find someplace you can be alone for 5 to 10 minutes. If you can't find a quiet space indoors, you might want to try sitting outside (if the weather permits it). Comfort is very important when you meditate. There's no prescribed position; it's just crucial that you get into a position that helps you relax.  When some people think of seated meditation, they picture a meditation master sitting in perfect lotus position with the legs crossed. If this is comfortable for you, then go ahead, but if not just find what makes you relaxed. You can try sitting with your legs crossed, sitting in a regular chair or on a bench, or even lying flat on the floor. If you're comfortable (and feel safe) closing your eyes, then go ahead. If not, keep your eyes open but try to focus on a point on the ground just in front of you. Deep breathing is at the heart of meditation. Concentrate on the sensation of breathing, and try to block out any other thoughts. Any time you find your mind wandering or your thoughts racing, simply return your focus to your breath.  Don't take shallow breaths in your chest; instead, take deep breaths that go all the way down to your diaphragm (below the ribs). Feel the air flow through your nostrils and into your lungs. Notice the sensation of your belly rising and falling with each inhalation and exhalation. You can either set a timer for 5 to 10 minutes, or simply breathe until you feel a sense of calm come over you. You can take these little meditation breaks anytime and any place when you need to calm down and quiet an anxious mind. When you're finished, slowly open your eyes. Don't get up right away; give your eyes and your mind a...

TL;DR in English:


Stop judging others and you will stop judging yourself.
I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to be able to see the good in others or if it’s a bad thing to be able to

Be aware of your tendency to judge. Watch for projections. Forgive yourself for judging. Refrain from gossip. Limit exposure to judgmental media.

The only way to truly stop passing judgment is to know when you are doing it in the first place. If you are disconnected from your self-talk, you’ll have trouble reframing it. Spend some time tuning it to your judgments of yourself and others. Listen to your thoughts for a full week. Notice the situations when you are most likely to judge. Question why you decided to do this. Keep a log so that you can identify patterns in your judging behavior. Sometimes, what bothers you about others is something that bothers you about yourself. When you are unhappy with some aspect yourself, you are more likely to project this dissatisfaction onto others. As you start keeping a log of judgments and criticisms, try to find the underlying connections. For instance, you judge a coworker for being late, but you do so because you secretly envy how carefree this person is. You often wish you had the nerve to break a rule. When you spot connections between your judgments of others and your own flaws, be willing to acknowledge these shortcomings and forgive. Self-forgiveness is often just as important as granting forgiveness to others. Show compassion to yourself when you judge and stop being so hard on yourself for engaging in an entirely “human” behavior. You might give yourself a hug and say, “I know that I must be hurting to judge my friend so harshly. I forgive myself for judging. I also forgive myself for ignoring my own pain. I am paying attention now.” One of the primary ways people verbally judge others is through gossip. Often gossiping appears harmless, a way to forge a bond with others. But do you really want to get closer to one person by driving a wedge between you and another? Probably not. Stop gossiping and keep your distance from those who tend to do it. The internet can bring out the judgmental attitude in anyone. You may find yourself judging "friends" on your social media feed or criticizing celebrities and politicians. If this brings out your judgmental side, bring awareness to the problem and reduce your...

TL;DR in English: If you have a large midsection, you may want to avoid tight pants.
TL;DR in English: If you have a large midsection, you may want to avoid tight pants.
TL

Go for well-fitting clothes instead of baggy or tight cuts. Choose v-neck tops instead of round, crew neck collars. Look for button-ups with spread collars to complement broad features. Stick with straight-legged, medium-rise pants with no pleats. Make sure your shorts don’t go past your knees. Wear 3-button blazers with wide lapels to add structure to your looks.

Resist the urge to cover up with baggy clothes, which can look sloppy and throw off your body’s proportions. Clothes that are too tight are no better. The trick is to invest in clothes that fit you just right.  If you don’t know your sizes, ask an employee at a clothing store for recommendations. If you’re self-conscious, it may be more comfortable to shop at a men's store that specializes in big and tall sizes. Be sure to choose clothes that fit you right now. You may have to buy new items in the future if you lose or gain weight in the future, but well-fitting clothes can help you look your best in the present. A v-neck collar helps elongate the face and neckline, so look for that collar shape when you’re shopping for t-shirts and sweaters. Crew neck collars, on the other hand, don’t draw the eyes down and can exaggerate a round face shape. Crisp, quality v-neck t-shirts are super versatile. You could wear a v-neck and linen slacks to a barbecue or pair one with a blazer for a business casual look. The distance between a dress shirt’s collar points is called the spread. When you shop for button-ups, look for shirts with widely spread collar points to balance out a broader face and neck.  Ideally, go for collar spreads wider than a right angle. Look where the collar points meet at the top button and form an angle. That angle should be greater than 90 degrees. Narrow collars look out of proportion with broad features. Next to a narrow collar, a broad face and neck look wider. Straight-legged pants can help balance out the proportions of your legs, waist, and stomach. Pants that are as wide at the bottom as at the thigh are especially great if you have a larger midsection but smaller legs. Boot-cut pants with a subtle flare at the ankle could also work, but you generally don’t want to go with full-on bell-bottoms (unless that’s your style!).  Tapered jeans (such as skinny jeans) with wider thighs and thinner ankles can make your legs look disproportionately small and exaggerate your midsection. Pleats can add...

You can overcome your weaknesses by working on your strengths.
The first step to overcoming a weakness is to identify it. You can do this by asking yourself questions like, “What is my weakness?” or “What is my biggest weakness?”. You can also ask a trusted friend or mentor

Develop a concise plan of action. Utilize your strengths to build confidence. Count every success.

Once your weaknesses are identified, you need a plan to beat them. Set goals for yourself with time limits. Under each goal, create actionable steps that allow you to stay on track and succeed.  For example, if your public speaking skills are weak, make it a goal that you can give a confident presentation. You can plan out actionable steps like writing a speech, delivering the speech to an empty room, then to one person, then to several people. Eventually, you’ll be confident enough to deliver the speech to a public audience. Tell other people about your goals to make yourself accountable for them. You may even ask a trusted friend or mentor to be an accountability partner. They should check in every now and then to see how far you have progressed. While you are working to overcome a weakness, work on things you are good at, too. This will keep your confidence up and help you get back to work overcoming the weaknesses. It also keeps you looking competent and skilled while you build your skillset even more. For example, if you are really good at writing speeches, you could help others write their speeches until you feel comfortable delivering your own. Your weaknesses are called weaknesses for a reason. It takes hard work and dedication to overcome them. Even if you fall short of a goal, acknowledge any progress that you did make. This will keep you in a positive frame of mind and help you pick up and continue overcoming the weakness.  Even if you haven’t mastered the art of speaking to large crowds, give yourself credit when you speak up in a meeting or give a presentation to your colleagues. Celebrate all of your successes. You can do this by taking photographs to commemorate them, making social media posts, or going out to dinner with friends.

The game of Texas Hold 'em is a very popular game of poker that is played with a standard 52-card deck. The game is played with two to five players, and the object of the game is to have the best hand possible. The game is played with two to five players, and the object of the

Instruct the remaining players to reveal their cards for the Showdown. Announce the winning hand clearly. Push the pot to the player with the strongest hand. Pass the dealer button to the player on your left to begin the next hand.

Traditionally, the last player to bet or raise during the final round is the first to put down their cards. After that, the Showdown proceeds around the table clockwise. If everyone chose to check in the final round, the player to your immediate left will automatically be designated as the first to show. During the Showdown, players also have the option of “mucking,” or surrendering their hand without turning their cards over. Players who muck aren’t eligible to win the pot. Hands follow the same basic value rankings in Texas Hold 'em as in most other popular versions of poker. Be sure to point out where the victorious player’s cards trump the other players’ so that there won’t be any doubt or confusion.  Keep in mind that aces are both high and low in Texas Hold 'em, meaning they can be played before a 2 or after a King in a straight. Now that the hand has ended, the victor is free to collect their winnings. After presenting the pot, turn your hands over to show that you haven’t secretly palmed any chips. This is a sign of good faith among amateur players, who typically place bets in addition to dealing. In the event of a tie, the pot should be “chopped,” or split evenly among the players with the highest hands. The player who was the Small Blind in the previous round will now serve as the new dealer. In this way, the roles of dealer, Small Blind, and Big Blind will continue to rotate around the table so that every player gets a turn. If at any point a player decides to withdraw from the game before their turn as dealer, the person to their left becomes the next dealer in line.

Maybe your taste runs more toward Harry Potter or Elizabeth from "Pride and Prejudice." Whatever you decide, make sure your costume is something you'll enjoy representing. These are some examples of characters you can portray for Halloween, taken from well-known books, movies and music: Cruella de Vil, Elsa, Flash Gordon, Spider-man, Luke Skywalker, Shrek or Fiona, Elvis, Belle or the Beast, an Egyptian mummy, Dorothy or another character from "The Wizard of Oz," Cinderella, Snow White, Aladdin, Captain Hook or Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Cat in the Hat, Mary Poppins, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, a witch or a vampire. If you choose to dress up as Elvis, for example, think of what people associate most with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. A white jumpsuit with colorful rhinestones would look great with some matching platform shoes. And don't forget that shiny black hair!

You can have a great party for your child’s birthday. It is important to keep in mind that it is a party and not a day at the park. You can have a great time and make it a memorable one.

Pick a theme and decorate accordingly. Cover the table. Use appropriate dishes. Include something fun.

This will add to the fun of the party. Let your kid help you decide or surprise them based on their interests. You could do a sports theme or a certain color scheme, you could incorporate their favorite superhero or tv show. The possibilities are endless! Go to a local party store and see what options they have. A lot of times, you can find all of the decor you need that goes with your theme. They might have table cloths, plates, cups, and even goodies that will set a very fun tone for the party. It is important to protect the table from spills or other incidents. You could use a tablecloth that goes with the theme of their party. The kids will love it and it will make your life much easier. Consider using a plain sheet of paper as a table covering. Then place crayons on the table so that the kids can draw and enjoy themselves as they wait for food. You probably don’t want to give your best china to a five year old! If it is a casual birthday party, paper and plastic utensils are perfectly acceptable. If it is a more formal party such as a holiday party that requires a kids’ table, try to tie in the theme of the adult table so that they feel included. You could use the same napkins as the adult table and perhaps even the same tablecloth. That way it will every bit as important as the adult table. This also depends on the age of the kids and the style of the party. Use your judgment to know what they can handle. For young children, use plastic cups instead of glasses and don’t set knives out. Especially if it is a kid’s birthday party, try to make it special. Include a noise maker or funny hats or a small game. Even a little pouch of treats for each child will put a big smile on their face. It is a party, after all.

The first thing you need to do is to know your enemy. You need to know their strengths and weaknesses. You need to know their behavior. You need to know their capabilities. You need to know their strengths and weaknesses. You need to know

Know your surroundings. Know the enemy's strength. Learn how can you set up an impenetrable defense. Get to know your units. If you play U.S.A or China, always have your airforce at your disposal. When attacking, maintain a good formation of your units to assure minimal losses. Before attacking an enemy base, heavily bombard it with bombs. When the enemy is engaged in an offensive against you, if you can, try to intercept them and powder them if you can. Watch out for booby traps, land mines and any traps. When building your base, don't let the structures be built too closely to each other. If possible, provide air support to your units at all times.

Knowing your environment is a key point towards your victory in a battle especially when we are talking about skirmish conflicts. Be familiar of your surroundings; where is the possible ground zero of your enemy? Determine where the resources are. Scout for areas where you can set your flank to defend your base. Observe the enemy's possible route when performing offensive operations. Search for safe areas where you can settle your troops. A good commander doesn't make a move without knowing the environment of his battlefield. A good general never underestimates his enemy. Is the enemy using toxins? Is the enemy good at stealth? Does your enemy have a large amount of tanks in his disposal? What are the strengths of the enemy? How can you exterminate them without a lot of casualties? Determine the behavior and the capability of your enemy before making any operations. Defense is important and you are playing blind when you don't know how to set a good defense. Once your defenses are good. You are impenetrable and the possibility of getting defeated decreases. Determine their strengths and weaknesses. Know when you are going to use them. Know their strengths. For example, are they good at tank busting? Good at anti-aircraft busting? All units must move by placing them in strategic positions.. It is good both in offensive and defensive operations.  Destroy its defenses to assure minimal casualties once the offensive team arrives. That way, they won't go far deep in your defenses. This strategy is good for generals who want adhesive actions. This might harm a lot of your units, so a good general sends out scouts first before letting their units on a patrol. When an air raid happens, you'll lose a lot.

De-clutter the room. Wash all bedding and clothing at high temperatures, and store them in plastic bags or bins to prevent re-infestation. Place everything you washed into plastic bins with tight fitting lids the instant you take them out of the dryer. Vacuum everything several times a week. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag properly. Consider using a steam cleaner. Don't keep items that you can't salvage.

Get rid of anything you no longer want or need. Put them in plastic bags, and throw them away. This will make it easier to tackle your bed bug problem. If you need to move something out of an infested room temporarily, put it into a plastic bin with a tight fitting lid first. If something cannot be laundered, see if you can take it to a dry cleaner instead. You can also sanitize it by putting it into the dryer for at 15 minutes on a high heat setting.  Depending on how severe your infestation is, you may need to wash everything once or twice a week for several months—even after the bed bugs are gone. Don't forget to clean the laundry area with a sanitizing cleaner once you are done. This also includes soft toys. Be sure to put them inside a pillowcase when washing them, so that you don't damage their fur. You can also use plastic, zippered or resealable bags instead. Whatever container you choose to use, you must keep it closed whenever you are not handling the things inside. This will prevent the newly-cleaned items from getting re-infested. Store these bins away from the infested room. This includes anything made out of fibers, such as box springs, carpets, curtains, mattresses, and upholstered items. It also includes "hard" items, such as furniture, hardwood floors, baseboards, and anything else with nooks and crannies. Take the bag out of the vacuum cleaner and put it into a plastic bag. Tie the plastic bag up tightly, and throw it away immediately outside your house. Do not leave the bag inside your house, or you may get another infestation. It is important that you use one which reaches at least 200°F (93.4°C) and which produces dry steam. The "dry steam" is important because you don't want everything left soaking wet, which can lead to mold and mildew. If something is beyond saving, get rid of it. Rip off the covers of upholstered furniture. Mark infested pieces clearly with "Infested with Bed Bugs" or "Bed Bugs" signs. Make arrangements with your city to have these items disposed of as soon as...

Choose your candles. Set up your area. Decorate your area.

For the best results, you want to use candles that are fairly large and haven’t yet been burned down. It’s fine if they’ve been used slightly.  Candles are made from all different types of waxes and materials. Try choosing a few different types to compare your results and see which works best. Gather soy, gelatin, paraffin, beeswax, bayberry, or soy candles. Different types of wax have different rates of evaporation. You want to place your candles on a clean, flat surface. Put your candles in candle holders, and lay newspaper on the table underneath them to catch any dripping wax.  Make sure that your candle area is free from any flammable items that could catch fire. If you have long hair, pull it back, and don’t wear loose-fitting clothing. Even though you’re just working with candles, you still want to take precautions around fire. If you want to light a candle without touching the wick as a magic trick for your friends, rather than just as an experiment, consider giving the space where you’ll present your trick a little bit of pizzazz.  Hang a black sheet or large piece of black poster board behind your candles. This will make the flame more prominent and visible. Just make sure that these are far enough from the flame that they aren’t a fire hazard. Place a banner or poster with sayings about magic behind your hands. You can also place nonflammable magical objects, like crystals, around your candles.

Acknowledge your emotional pain. Reduce victim mentality. Practice forgiveness through rituals.

Being the scapegoat to others can translate to being the victim of emotional bullying. Years of being picked on and manipulated by others has likely shifted your identity of who you are as a person. In order to stop being an easy target, you must admit to what’s happening and acknowledge the pain it causes.  For instance, being the scapegoat may have caused you to experience anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship turmoil, and even addiction. Think about the true impact being the scapegoat has on your life by identifying who has used you as a scapegoat and why these people are important in your life and for your sense of self-worth. Be honest with yourself about the negative consequences. It may help to journal about it. Cry, if you need to. Or, lean on a supportive friend. As hard as it may be to swallow, you have to accept that you are being scapegoated by others because you allow yourself to be. A major step towards overcoming scapegoating is to stop playing into the victim mentality. Just because others are trying to make you the victim, you don’t have to see yourself as one.  Consider what you may have been getting out of playing the role of a victim. For example, you might enjoy the attention, feelings of validation, sense of security, sympathy, and lowered expectations that come with playing the victim. Develop a new story of who you are that doesn’t involve being a victim. For instance, when something negative happens in your life, resist the temptation to connect it to people not failing to support you. This takes the control away from you and gives it to them. Instead look for some aspect of the problem in which you had control and brainstorm a solution from there.  You may also turn your attention to things you feel grateful for and people you can help. This may help you to feel more empowered. You are stuck in the scapegoat role because you are harboring negative feelings about others and yourself. Strive for forgiveness and you may be able to finally release the negative emotions that have...

Keep your expectations reasonable. Be confident. Keep a positive attitude. Express your needs.

Think about your goals. Are you looking for just sex? That's perfectly fine. Just make sure to maintain the same priority throughout the experience.  Do not expect a relationship to develop. Sometimes people get hurt after a one-night stand. It's usually because their expectations shifted. Accept that a one-night stand is actually a one-night occurrence. If something else develops, great. But don't expect it to. Once you have decided that you want to have a one night stand, it's time to take control of the situation. If you want to have a sexual encounter, approach a potential partner with confidence. If you feel good about yourself, you will project an air of confidence.  When you see someone attractive, strike up a conversation. If you are at a party, try saying, "Great music. Do you go to many concerts?" Keep your tone relaxed, but convey your interest. For example, maintain eye contact with the person you are interested in. You can also make some experimental physical contact. Try resting your hand on the other person's shoulder while you are telling a funny story. Even if you are looking for a one night stand, you might feel some emotional repercussions the morning after. It is perfectly normal for women to experience regret, or even shame. It's important to remember that you are in charge of your own actions and you can choose how to feel about them.  To avoid having regrets, think carefully about whether you want a one night stand. Do you feel like you can handle having sex with no emotional attachment? If so, remind yourself that you made a proactive choice to have a one-night stand. As long as you were safe, there's no need to feel regret. Maintain high spirits. Celebrate the fact that you just had enjoyable sex. The key to a successful one night stand is that both parties are on the same page. Avoid having a sexual encounter with someone you would like to pursue romantically. Likewise, do not have a one night stand with someone you know is interested in having a relationship with you.

Wash your head daily with a gentle soap or shampoo. Apply a moisturizer to your head at least twice a day. Protect your head from the sun using sunscreen or a hat. Put antiperspirant on your scalp before bed if excessive sweating is an issue. Shave when re-growth becomes noticeable.

Put a pea-size amount of cleanser in your hands and work it into a lather. Then, rub the lather into your scalp to clean away the sweat and grime that naturally build up over the course of the day. Rinse with warm water.  Dandruff shampoo can help with dry scalp, if that’s a problem for you.  Avoid using harsh cleansers on your scalp, as it’s more sensitive than the rest of your skin. It’s best to limit your showers to once a day so you don’t dry out your scalp. You can use face or body moisturizer, but it’s best to use one formulated to protect your scalp. Slather it on in the morning and evening, especially if you’ve just taken a shower.  Moisturizer helps prevent dry patches and wrinkles. Additionally, it helps your scalp look freshly shaved for a longer period of time. If you’re worried about shine, look for a moisturizer labeled as matte. Choose an SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen, and apply it at least 15 minutes before you leave home. Additionally, re-apply your sunscreen every 2-4 hours while you’re outdoors. As an alternative, you can wear a hat for sun protection.  Your shaved head will be very vulnerable to sunburn, which can cause skin damage, pain, and skin cancer. Follow the recommendations on your particular sunscreen when deciding how often to re-apply it. Normally, your hair collects the sweat beads that form on your head from natural perspiration. Unfortunately, sweat has nowhere to go but down if there’s no hair there to catch it. Luckily, antiperspirant offers relief if your sweat is bothering you. Simply apply it to your scalp before bed to allow it time to soak into your skin.  Spray on antiperspirant is the best option for your scalp, but you can use a stick or roll on if that’s all you have. It’s okay if you shower in the morning. The antiperspirant will still help control sweat because it’s already soaked into your pores. It’s easier to shave hair when it’s less than .25 inches (0.64 cm) long, so try not to let it grow longer than this. However, you don’t want to shave your head too...

Take a bath with essential oils. Inhale essential oils through a diffuser. Make a cream or lotion with essential oils. Make a compress with essential oils.

Adding essential oils to your bath can be very beneficial for the body. Use a mild essential oil like lavender oil, rose oil, or sandalwood oil, while avoiding more spicy oils like cinnamon oil or thyme oil as well as citrusy oils like lemongrass oil.  Using essential oils in your bath can help with many skin problems, circulation problems, respiratory problems, stress, insomnia, and menstrual cramps. Usually use 5-10 drops of essential oils in a bath. Diffusers are devices that use candles to heat up essential oils so that they evaporate and permeate the air around them. They are easy to use and smell quite nice. Some diffusers use electricity instead of candles. This is a good option for people who do not tolerate carrier oils well. Use an un-perfumed base cream and add some essential oils to it. This can help with many skin conditions, including rashes.  Never make a cream or lotion stronger than a 2% dilution.  Use between 4 and 10 drops of essential oils per 50 grams of cream/lotion, depending on your age and sensitivity. Add essential oils to a hot compress and wrap it around your face or other body part. Use a cloth or washrag that has been soaked in warm water and add the essential oils.  This can be good for bruises, wounds, aches, headaches, and other skin problems. Use 3-5 drops of essential oils.

If you have a service dog, you must register it with the city or county in which you live

Check dog license laws where you live. Have an accredited training organization certify your dog. Give your dog the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. Consider registering your dog with the United States Service Dog Registry (USSDR).

Your service dog must comply with all local regular licensing and registration regulations. This typically includes getting vaccinated for rabies and wearing dog tags.  Some cities have banned certain dog breeds in the belief that those breeds represent a threat to the health and safety of the community. Service dogs must be exempted from those bans. Under the ADA, it is illegal to require mandatory registration of service dogs. However, some local communities may offer special service dog tags in addition to regular dog tags. If your community offers service dog tags or special registration, participation is voluntary. However, registration may provide important benefits. For example, if your service dog was registered, first responders would know to look for your dog during an emergency evacuation. Accredited training organizations may administer the Assistance Dogs International (ADI) Public Access test. If your service dog can pass this grueling test, it is considered among the elite service dogs in the world.  The ADI itself does not test or certify dogs, but many accredited organizations do. You can find an accredited organization near you by visiting http://www.iaadp.org/iaadp-minimum-training-standards-for-public-access.html. More than half of the service dogs trained by accredited professional trainers cannot pass this test, so don't be disappointed if your dog doesn't make the grade. If the organization offering the test allows it, videotape your dog completing the tasks. You never know when it might come in handy later on. This test is another way to document the effort you've put into training a self-trained service dog. It's typically easier to find an obedience center that offers this test than it is to find one that offers the ADI Public Access test.  Some obedience centers only offer the test to dogs who complete the 6-week canine good citizen class. However, there are many that offer the test separately for people with self-trained dogs who want the credential. If your dog passes the test,...

It will also help you understand how to interact with them in a way that works for both of you (or to your advantage). There are several different theories of personality, many of which have years of research supporting them.  Listen to what people are telling you and watch their actions and body language to evaluate what type of personality they have. For instance, watch the person you don't understand's body language when you're talking. If his body language suddenly stiffens when you touch on the topic of family, then you can pretty safely assume that is a sensitive topic. Gathering information like this over time can help build a clear outline of that person's personality. While personality types can serve as a guideline for understanding people, keep in mind that experiences, situations, and even the person's current mood can all influence how he acts. This method looks at people's Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. By observing whether or not a person has these traits, you may have a sense for how willing someone might be to try something new, work with a group or team, or even start a conflict.  Determine how open to new experiences and ideas a person is by watching how she responds to change or novel suggestions. Does she welcome the new plan or resist it? Observe her habits to see how conscientious, or aware of herself, her goals, and environment she is. Is she detail-oriented and well-organized? Pay attention to how she interacts with others to determine how extroverted she is. Does she seem to prefer to work alone? Does she move around talking to everyone in the room? Ask open-ended questions to see how agreeable she is like, “What do you think about the new project?”; “How do you feel about our sales goal?”; “What’s your opinion on the lunch menu?” Notice neuroticism (how moody, negative, or anxious she is) by listening to and observing her. Does she...

Give your child finger foods before asking her to use a spoon. Watch out for signs that your child wants to use a spoon. Understand that your child’s dexterity will take time to develop.

Your toddler may be ready to use a spoon by the time she reaches 12 to 15 months old.  However, if you have not introduced her to finger foods by that time, you should do so before starting to teach her how to use a spoon. Eating finger foods will help your child to learn how to bring food to her mouth. Finger foods include:  Chunky slices of fruits and vegetables. Dry crackers and cereals. After your toddler has gotten used to eating with finger foods, you may notice that she starts eyeing your utensils during Mealtime. She might even indicate her desire to hold a spoon. If you see this happening, allow her to try using the spoon all by herself. Be prepared for a mess and always remember to applaud her efforts. By the 18th month, your child will most likely have figured out how to use the spoon properly though there will still be times when she will revert back to using her hands to feed herself. She will revert back to finger foods because at this stage her dexterity is still not that developed. To help your child’s dexterity, give her foods that will stick to the surface of the spoon.

Test the urine right away. Pay attention to the physical characteristics of the urine. Keep in mind that a dipstick test is not infallible.

Ideally, the sample should be analyzed as soon as it leaves the body. If this isn’t possible, refrigerate the fresh urine until it can be examined. Keeping it in cold conditions will slow the breakdown of different chemicals and the onset of bacteria.  Always refrigerate a sample if it’s going to be more than 2 hours before you can get around to testing it.  Discard samples that are more than a couple hours old if they’ve been exposed to air or left to sit at room temperature. If necessary, you can wait and take a new sample at a later time. The way a sample looks will provide the first clues about what’s going on inside the body. Healthy urine should be clear or faintly yellow. If the urine you’re testing is a dark or unusual color, is especially cloudy, or has an abnormal odor, you may not need a full urinalysis to tell you that something is off.  For best results, make sure you’re satisfactorily hydrated before you collect your sample. Orange, brown, or reddish urine may be a sign of blood in the urinary tract. Similarly, greenish-blue urine can be caused by a UTI or a reaction to prescription medication. Generally speaking, urinalysis is a convenient and reliable way to get an overview of a patient’s level of health, but it’s not a perfect system. Bacteria, external contaminants, and the passing seconds can all contribute to inaccurate readings. Furthermore, it’s possible for testing machines and other materials to occasionally provide false results. If you need to be able to detect potentially serious health complications, another type of test (such as a detailed blood screening) may be necessary.

You can use a coffee can lid to make a filter for your fabric.
This method is a little more involved, but it's a great way to make a filter that's a little more durable. You'll need a coffee can lid, a piece of fabric, and a piece of cardboard.
First, you

Take the plastic lid off of a large can of coffee. Cut the middle of the lid out, leaving the rim. Stretch pantyhose or nylon material tight across the gap. Use the filter as directed above.

In this method, you'll use a coffee can lid to make a circular frame for fabric that will act as the filter. Many different sizes can work, but in general, wide, stiff lids of six inches across work well.  Stiffer plastic lids are best. Flexible, floppy lids are not ideal. Use a pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut out the entire center portion of the lid. When you're done, you should have a stiff plastic hoop. Through the cut-out center part of the lid away. For the stiffest plastic lids, you may need to use a drill, awl, or saw to get started. Be very careful when using these tools. A heavy pair of work gloves and proper eye protection are musts. Now that you have a stiff hoop of plastic, all you need to do is make the filter with a tight layer of porous fabric. Pantyhose or tights work very well. Simply slide a stocking over the hoop, pull it tight, gather the slack at the bottom, and secure it with rubber bands or tape. You can also use embroidery material or screen door mesh like in the section above, but this is a little harder. You can use clamps, binder clips, or tape along the back of the rim to keep these materials reasonably tight. Your pop filter is now ready to use. Use tape or clamps to position it in front of the mic just like you would for the methods above.

Conducting is a very important part of being a drum major. It's a great way to get experience conducting other songs and to develop your own style.
In the next section, we'll look at the different types of conductors.
A conductor is a person who leads a group of people in a musical performance

Develop your own style. Learn gestures for each tempo. Learn to conduct in 2/4 time. Practice conducting in 3/4 time. Learn how to conduct 4/4 time. Learn how to cue and cut off. Know the band in relation to the music.

Depending on the band's needs, you'll probably have to incorporate facings, turns, salutes, and bows while conducting the band. These can be relatively straightforward and simple movements or you can make them as elaborate and complicated as you like.  Practice your style in front of a large mirror. Remember that you'll be raised up on the field and visible to the audience. Make sure your movements are comfortable and easy to execute while wearing your uniform. Developing a style can personalize your role as drum major, it's not a vital part of conducting the band. Again, these can be simple, clean movements or elaborate emphatic gestures. Consider what's easiest for your band to understand and follow. You should make your gestures large enough for the band to see. For this reason, you should keep your fingers together, not spread apart. This avoids confusion or misdirection. Try conducting other songs in your time signature to get use to how it feels. When you are completely comfortable with one time signature, practice several songs in another more challenging signature. You can also ask your director for any variations or pieces to practice. To conduct  in counts of two, bring your hands down to hit a focal point, then bring them back up. While this may seem like the simplest time signature to conduct, you should avoid bringing your hands straight up. Instead, bring both of your hands down, then sweep your hands to the side while bringing them back up on the second count. Regardless of what time signature you're conducting, keep your arms at a 45 degree angle with your palms slightly raised at about a 45 degree angle. You should practice choosing and hitting a focal point that will be the basis for your conducting patterns. When starting out, you might want to use a physical focal point, such as music stands set at waist level. This will allow you to become comfortable with hitting the same point when conducting. For conducting three, bring your hands down, then out to the sides, and back up. Specifically,...

The best way to test the insides of a steak is to touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger.
The best way to test the insides of a steak is to touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger.
The best way to test the insides

Once the grill is heated up, slap the meat directly above the heat source. Cook each side of the steak for 3-7 minutes, depending on the desired doneness and how thick the steak is. Learn the "palm test" to check your steaks internal temperature without cutting into it. Let the steaks finish cooking on indirect heat if the outside is done but the center needs some time. Let the steak sit for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.

If you're using propane, lay the steak on the grate so that it is right above the flames. Once you've set it down, try not to move it much. If you want nice charred grill lines you'll need to leave the steak place. If you want the classic criss-cross grill lines, turn the steak 45-degrees with a pair of tongs halfway through cooking. For a thinner steak, flip around the low end of the following times. For a thicker steak, turn at the higher end. If the steak is pink when you turn it then the grill is not hot enough -- raise the heat and leave it flipped over.   Rare: grilled for roughly 3 minutes a side (raise the heat 25-50 degrees before beginning)   Medium rare: grilled for roughly 5 minutes a side.  Medium steaks: grilled for roughly 7 minutes a side.  Well done steaks: grilled for 10 minutes each side, then removed to indirect heat to finish cooking. You shouldn't cut a steak until 4-5 minutes after it comes off the heat, as the juices inside re-absorb in the meat as it cools, leading to a juicier cut. So how do you test the insides? The trick is literally in the palm of your hand.  Hold your hand open, then touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger. With your other hand, touch the fleshy part of your palm under your thumb -- this feels just like a medium rare steak. Each finger combination mimics a certain cook temperature:   Rare: Don't touch any fingers -- it feels just like the fleshy part under your thumb. (Internal Temp: 130-135°F)  Medium Rare: Touch your index finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 130-135°F)  Medium: Touch your middle finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 140°F)  Medium Well: Touch your ring finger to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 155°F)  Well Done: Touch your pinky to your thumb. (Internal Temp: 165°F°) Move the steaks away from the flame, burner, or hot coals. If you have a higher rack on your grill, place the meat up here. Cover the grill and let the heat slowly cook the steak without allowing the outsides to burn.  You shouldn't have to leave the steak for...

Cut a piece of tissue paper into a 24 by 14 inch (60.96 by 35.56 centimeters) rectangle. Fold in half so that the narrower end of the rectangle has the fold. Draw a horizontal line 1½ inches (3.81 centimeters) down from the fold. Draw a series of vertical lines, all the way up to your guideline. Cut along the cutting lines up towards the horizontal guideline. Unfold the rectangle. Start rolling the rectangle, from left to right. Twist the rolled up tissue paper tightly around the middle. Fold the rolled up tissue paper in half. Wrap some tape around the base of the loop to hold the tassel together. String the tassel onto a long piece of string.

Position the rectangle so that the narrower end is facing you. Make sure that the folded edge is at the top of the rectangle, facing away from you. Use a pencil to draw the line, and a ruler to make the line as straight as possible. This is your guideline. You will be cutting up towards this line, but you won't be cutting past it. Draw lightly with the pencil so that you won't see the marks when you are done. Space them ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) apart. Again, use a pencil to draw the lines, and a ruler to make them straight. These will be your cutting lines. Do not cut past the guideline. Also, make sure that you are cutting through both layers of tissue paper at the same time. The rectangle will now have a fringe on both of the narrow ends, like a giant set of whiskers. Straighten the strands as you roll. Leave the "whiskers" loose. The only part you should be twisting is the solid, uncut part. Keep the top part of the loop (the twisted part) at the top. Wrap the tape around the twisted part, about 1½ inches (3.81 centimeters) down from the top. Do not get any tape on the tassels. You can use clear tape, or patterned/washi tape. If you make enough tassels, you can make a garland to hand across your doorway. Typical tassel garlands are between 3 and 4 feet (0.91 and 1.22 meters) long.

TL;DR in English:


A spotted tabby is a cat with a broken coat pattern.
The spotted tabby is a very old breed. The first spotted tabby was recorded in the United States in the early 1900s. The breed was developed in England, and was first recognized by the American Cat Association in the early 1900s.

Notice the broken lines. Observe the variance in spots. Don't confuse the spotted tabby and mackerel tabby.

Spotted cats earned their name because of the broken lines in their coat patterns. This "broken" coat pattern may cause the lines to appear as spots, though this cat is still very much a tabby. The "spots" on the spotted tabby's coat can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They may be large or small, and may appear to be round, ovular, or rose-shaped. Though every spotted tabby's coat will be slightly different, some may be easily confused with a mackerel tabby. Certain spotted tabbies may have "spots" that extend from a spinal stripe, like the mackerel tabby. The difference is that a spotted tabby will still have a more blotchy or spotted appearance.

Steam clean your carpet. Dry clean your carpet. Hire a professional cleaner.

Steam cleaning uses hot water to deep clean your carpet and extract deeply-embedded particles. You can purchase a steam cleaner and do this yourself. Before you steam clean, you need to vacuum and spot treat the stains on your carpet. Follow the manufacturer instructions for using your steam cleaner.  Pull the machine slowly as you go over your carpet. Only go over the area one time to limit the amount of water that you apply to the carpet. It is extremely important that you dry your carpet thoroughly. Not extracting all of the water can result in mold, mildew, and odor. Open windows and use fans to speed up the drying process. If you do not want to purchase a steam cleaner, you can rent one from a local hardware store or carpet store. Dry cleaning involves applying a dry powder to your carpet, working the powder into the carpet, and then vacuuming up the dry powder. The dry powder helps pull the dirt and soil out of the carpet. Vacuum your carpet before you apply the powder. Follow the instructions on the cleaner to determine how much you should use on your carpet.  The instructions may recommend that you use a mechanical brush to work the powder into the carpet. However, the brushes should not be used on Berber as it may cause snags. Instead, work the powder gently in with your hands. Always read the label to determine how long to leave the powder on. Some powders require 20 to 30 minutes while other compounds may be vacuumed up immediately. This type of cleaning is recommended for Berber because there is not a risk of over-wetting the carpet and causing mold and mildew. If your carpet is deeply stained or you are not comfortable using these methods on your own, hire a professional cleaner. A professional cleaner will assess the type of Berber you have and the condition of your carpet. The cleaner can then choose an appropriate cleaning method.  Use carpet cleaner that has experience working with Berber carpet. Visit the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Cleaning website to find a certified...

If you want to be even more casual, you can simply say "nansai desu ka." On the other hand, if you're talking to someone older than you or in a position of authority and want to be more formal, you would say "toshi wa ikutsu desu ka." " Counting in Japanese is fairly easy to master. If you can count to 10 in Japanese, you can form any number. Use that number for your age.  For example, if you're 26 years old, you would respond "watashi wa ni-juu-roku sai desu." If you were asked with the more casual "nansai desu ka," you can simply respond with your age followed by "sai desu ka." If you want to potentially impress a Japanese person who asks your age, you can answer them with reference to the Japanese calendar. If you were born between 1926 through 1988, you were born in the Showa era. If you were born between 1989 and 2019, you were born during the Heisei era. The year you were born translates into a number of year in the era, which in turn you can use to express how old you are. For example, suppose you were born in 1992. The Heisei era started in 1989, so you were born in the fourth year of the Heisei era. Your age is "Heisei 4."

Crack the eggs into a separate container (optional). Wait for the bottoms of the eggs to solidify. Serve.

Grab a bowl, cup or ramekin big enough to hold your eggs. Break the flat side of each egg on the rim of the container and let the contents drain into it. To save time, do this while waiting for your pan to heat up. Don't crack the eggs directly into the hot pan. If you do this, it's easier to break the yolks or cook your eggs unevenly. You also have less control over where they will lie in the pan. Now, let the eggs cook without disturbing them for a minute or two. You want the bottoms of the whites to be fully set (but not hard) before you proceed. Depending on your pan and the level of heat you're using, this will take anywhere from about 45 seconds to two minutes. Keep your eyes on the edges of the whites — they are thinner than the center, so they will solidify first. When you notice that the edges are solid, you can proceed even if the whites in the middle are still a little liquid. Congratulations! Your over easy eggs are done. Transfer out of the pan to a plate and serve with toast, bacon, hash browns, or other breakfast favorites.

Consider sleeping pills but know the risks. Consider supplements such as melatonin. Try aromatherapy. Use technology that will help you relax. Try your hardest to stay awake. Don't stress if you can't sleep.

Many travelers use prescription or over-the-counter sleeping aids to help them get to sleep.  However, prescription medications should only be taken if prescribed by a physician.  Risks associated with sleeping pills include DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and feelings of drowsiness and disorientation upon awakening. Over-the-counter sleep aids have a more moderate effect but it is still recommended that you only take them if you can ensure that you have four uninterrupted hours to sleep. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the body, it is also available as an over-the-counter supplement.  Sleep researchers have found that melatonin levels are elevated after dark and remain elevated throughout the night, suggesting that it can promote sleep. Some studies also suggest that if you continue to take it when you arrive at your destination, it can ease the symptoms of jet lag as well. Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile and valerian have a relaxing effect and may help you drift off to sleep.   When traveling, pack a small spray bottle with your desired essential oil mix and spray on your pillow or clothing. There are various apps and gadgets that you can use to help you settle down and get some rest.  Noise-cancelling headsets can reduce the noise of the plane engine quite effectively.  This can help you to feel relaxed enough to sleep, especially if you are a nervous flyer. Play white noise sounds. Research suggests that white noise, which you can download on your phone or music player, can also help promote sleep.  Bring a music player with a relaxing playlist that will soothe you to sleep. Get comfortable, shut your eyes and then try to stay awake.  Research suggests that this method, known as paradoxical intention, works and helps people fall asleep quicker.

If you have a number that is the product of two other numbers, you can factor it to its factors.
The first step in factoring is to find the factors of the number. This is done by finding the product of the two numbers.
The first step in factoring is to find the product of the

Write your number. Find two more numbers that multiply to make your first number. Determine whether any of your factors can be factored again. Stop factoring when you reach prime numbers. Factor negative numbers in the same way.

To begin factoring, all you need is a number - any number will do, but, for our purposes, let's start with a simple integer. Integers are numbers without fractional or decimal components (all positive and negative whole numbers are integers). Let's choose the number 12. Write this number down on a piece of scratch paper. Any integer can be written as the product of two other integers. Even prime numbers can be written as the product of 1 and the number itself. Thinking of a number as the product of two factors can require "backwards" thinking - you essentially must ask yourself, "what multiplication problem equals this number?"  In our example, 12 has multiple factors - 12 × 1, 6 × 2, and 3 × 4 all equal 12. So, we can say that 12's factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. For our purposes, let's work with the factors 6 and 2. Even numbers are especially easy to factor because every even number has 2 as a factor. 4 = 2 × 2, 26 = 13 × 2, etc. Lots of numbers - especially large ones - can be factored multiple times. When you've found two of a number's factors, if one has its own set of factors, you can reduce this number to its factors as well. Depending on the situation, it may or may not be beneficial to do this. For instance, in our example, we have reduced 12 to 2 × 6. Notice that 6 has its own factors - 3 × 2 = 6. Thus, we can say that 12 =  2 × (3 × 2). Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that are evenly divisible only by themselves and 1. For instance, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17 are all prime numbers. When you've factored a number so that it's the product of exclusively prime numbers, further factoring is superfluous. It does you no good to reduce each factor to itself times one, so you may stop. In our example, we've reduced 12 to 2 × (2 × 3). 2, 2, and 3 are all prime numbers. If we were to factor further, we'd have to factor to (2 × 1) × ((2 × 1)(3 × 1)), which isn't typically useful, so it's usually avoided. Negative numbers can be factored nearly identically to how positive numbers are factored. The...
