Do not drag or push furniture across the floor when you move it around. Instead, lift the furniture if possible. Lifting your furniture will prevent the scratches and scuff-marks that can be caused by dragging your furniture. If the furniture can’t be lifted, it is also an option to place slide it across the floor with something underneath it. Do not do any lifting on your own if you feel that the furniture is too heavy. Ask a friend or family member for help. If you have difficulty moving large or heavy pieces of furniture, place plastic discs with padding on one side (also known as furniture sliders or moving discs) underneath your furniture. These discs will allow large and heavy furniture to glide across the laminate flooring without causing damage. Soft, thick towels or heavy blankets can also be placed underneath heavy or large furniture as an alternative to plastic discs. Ask friends or family to help you with lifting furniture that is too large or heavy for you to move by yourself. This will prevent your laminate flooring from warping due to the expansion or contraction of the laminate flooring materials. Use a humidistat to measure the humidity levels in your home. You may already have a humidistat built into your thermostat or humidifier, or you can purchase one from a retail store that specializes in home repair. Use a humidifier during dry conditions to prevent your laminate flooring from shrinking, and use an air conditioner or dehumidifier in wet conditions to prevent your flooring from expanding. Long nails on your pet can cause extra damage to the floor. Make sure to keep your pet’s nails trimmed, but do not cut them so low that it injures the animal. Take your pet to a groomer, or trim your pet's nails using nail clippers designed for use on pets.  You should also check the pet’s paws when they come from outside to inside and remove any dirt and/or gravel.

Lift furniture instead of dragging it. Slide heavy furniture across the floor. Keep the humidity levels in your home between 35 and 65 percent. Keep the nails of your pets trimmed.


Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water.  If you feel sick, immediately induce vomiting and drink plenty of water.  If activated charcoal is available, take that with the water.  Discontinue testing if you experience any adverse reaction. It is critical that you use exactly the same part of exactly the same kind of plant, and that you prepare it in exactly the same way as you did the initial sample. Abstain from any other food except purified water.  Induce vomiting immediately as above if you should feel ill.  If no reaction has occurred, you may assume  only that particular part of the plant is safe to eat, and only as prepared during the test. If the first plant part you choose appears contact-poisonous, you may immediately test a new plant on your other arm or behind your knee.  If the plant causes a reaction before you have swallowed it, wait until the symptoms have disappeared before testing a new plant.  If you have an adverse reaction after you've swallowed the plant, wait until symptoms have disappeared and start a new test.  Although there may be edible parts of the plant you initially chose, it is preferable to move on to a different plant for subsequent tests. If you are in a situation where you have access to other sources of safe food, you can incorporate this test into your diet more gradually by splitting it up into 3 stages, and using your 8 hours of normal sleep as the 8 hours of the pre-test for each stage. Again, this should only be used if you are in a survival situation (e.g. your existing food rations are running low, and you need to start testing another source before your current one is depleted) or if you cannot find documentation for a particular plant and are willing to undergo the risks (poisoning and death) involved.   Wake up and do the contact-poisonous part of the test. After 8 hours, eat a normal meal (not of the plant under test). Next morning, complete the test up to swallowing a single piece. After 8 hours, assuming you are still alive and...

Wait 8 hours. Eat 1/4 cup of the same kind of plant part prepared the same way. Wait an additional 8 hours. Begin a new test if the plant part you have chosen fails any of the tests. Do a gradual test if you have other food sources.


Do not expect your children to fit into socially constructed roles. Let your children explore hobbies and lifestyles in order to let them find what makes them happy. This includes letting your children explore gender identity. Do not try and push them into a specific gender or role. Giving material gifts to your children just reinforces the pursuit of material goods. For holidays, birthdays, or special occasions, give you children gifts that will help them respect a bohemian lifestyle and enjoy life.  Try giving tickets to an event such as a play or a concert. Take them to a class to introduce a new hobby. Them them to a park or zoo to learn something new and have fun. To uphold the boho lifestyle, you want your children to explore, grow, and learn. However, they might still test your parental authority. It is important to be consistent in your discipline, but not to stifle their growth.  Discipline with love by listening and communicating how you want your child to behave. Remain calm Never physically harm your child. Get involved in your child's life! Play with them. Explore with them. Take a class with them. This will help strengthen your bond with your child, and encourage your own creativity.

Embrace free expression. Avoid material gifts. Be relaxed, but consistent, on household rules. Live, love, play.


Do not feel guilty or pressured into saying yes. If a salesperson is trying to make a sale, it is entirely within your right to say no. Be firm and stand strong.Try a few different tactics.  “Thank you for giving me information about this, but I’m not interested.” “I do not feel comfortable making a decision on this.” “I do not feel I have enough information to make an informed decision.” “I do not feel you or your organization is being completely honest with me.” If someone is pushing you into making a sale, turn the pitch around on them. #*Ask questions regarding all aspects of the trade.  Ask if your broker is registered. Ask if the investment is registered with SEC. Not only are there plenty of very credible websites to help you with investment opportunities, but also there are many outside sources. For example, if your company pays into a 401k retirement, perhaps contact your HR department for more information on retirement investments. If you feel pressured or harassed by salesperson, ask to be taken off of solicitation lists. You can request to be removed from both phone and e-mail lists.

Say no. Ask questions. Talk with a trusted source first. Keep your privacy.


Do not give out their contact information to potential employers unless they give you their explicit permission.  When asking your references for permission to give out their contact information, make sure that they plan on giving a positive recommendation. It’s also a good idea to ask your references how they would prefer to be contacted (ex. email, work phone, cell phone, etc.). You don't need to have "References available upon request" at the bottom of your resume. Employers will assume you have references and will ask for them specifically - usually at the end of the hiring process. Unless you are applying to be a nanny, personal assistant, or something with a similar level of one-on-one interaction, the main body of your resume should not even mention references. The heading should include your name in a clear, bold font. In a slightly smaller font beneath that, you should include your address, phone number, and email. For aesthetic reasons, you can align your contact information to the opposite corner, as below.  You may also want to add a line underneath the heading in order to clearly separate it from the rest of the document. If you include a line, choose one that is simple and elegant. For a more cohesive, professional look, maintain the same style and formatting that you used in your resume. The title should be in a slightly larger font - about the same size as your name is in the header. Choose a simple, clear title that reflects the content of the page. "Professional References for (Your Name)" is a good example. There are no hard rules for what order to list your references. It can be handy to list your "best" references first - that is, references that are extremely positive and that have worked with you for the longest.  Begin your reference list by listing the name of the first reference in bold. In the line beneath that, write their relationship to you and the company you both worked at. Include the work address beneath that – provided that they still work at the company where you both...

Make sure your references know that you will be using them as references. Use a separate page for your references. Start your reference list with a heading. Under the heading, add a clear title. List your references and their relevant information. Format any additional references in a similar way.


Do not hide somewhere obvious or somewhere teachers expect students to hide, like the cafeteria. Some schools have a music wing with practice rooms, which can be a good, safe and quiet option. Avoid highly populated areas or spaces that are out in the open. If you’re not planning on skipping the entire day, consider hanging out in a restroom. As long as you don’t draw attention to yourself, you should be able to stay there for a period or two without notice.  If someone enters the bathroom, keep your feet out of sight to avoid detection. Switch stalls every so often, just in case someone is monitoring bathrooms to ensure no one is hiding inside. Bring activities to keep your mind occupied (like a phone or a book) but make sure they are quiet and do not arouse suspicion amongst other bathroom goers. Talking about your successful skip day increases your chances of getting caught. If nobody knows you skipped school, nobody can rat you out. Refrain from bragging about your exploits; you don’t know who might be listening.

Be discreet. Utilize bathrooms. Keep your mouth shut.


Do not invest your money in banks.  Credit unions tend to have lower fees, higher savings rates, and lower loan rates than banks, which cater more toward businesses.  Credit unions are also more likely to have lower minimum account balance requirements than banks. These places offer you your cash instantly, but take a percentage out of your total check.  This will leave you with significantly less income over time.  For instance, assume you cash a $100 check each week, and the check cashing service takes 5% of the check.  It doesn’t seem like much, but it adds up quickly.  At that rate, it translates to five dollars each week; by year’s end, that’s $260. Overdrawn accounts are more likely to happen when you are financially on the edge.  This leads to late fees and charges.  Ending automatic debit for utilities, rent, and other regular costs might take more time out of your schedule each month, but you will have financial control returned to you. This can be a challenge when you’re living on a fixed or limited income, but there are positive steps you can take to reduce your financial risks.  Don’t take out new credit cards; work instead on paying off the balance on your current credit cards and loans.  Draw up a household budget.  In one column, calculate your household’s total income.  This includes revenue coming in not only from you, but from everyone in your house.  Then calculate your household’s total expenses.  Think about the costs accumulated by children and pets as well as by you and any other adults in the house.  Subtract the expenses from the income total.  If the expenses exceed the income, try to find where you can cut some expenses, or figure a way to increase your income streams. Before buying anything, always ask yourself this question: "Is this really necessary?"  If not, put it back on the shelf for another day when you are not so poor. Full-time jobs are exceedingly rare.  You’ll likely have to cobble together a work schedule consisting of multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet.  While...

Don’t rely on a single income stream, if possible. Keep an eye out for better work opportunities. Solicit financial advice from a consultant.


Do not just announce the idea out of the blue. Your parents are likely to feel hurt and unwanted if that is the case. You should be honest about your concerns. Broach the conversation in a respectful manner. Consider:  “Mom, Dad, can we talk about the future?” “I see that you’re having trouble walking down all of these stairs. Would it better if you were to live somewhere easier to navigate?” “I know you’ve recovered from your broken hip, but [insert sibling’s name] would feel better if you would get more help.” Perhaps your parents have been thinking it is time for a change on their own. Before you make demands or offer suggestions, have a heart to heart talk with their wishes and needs. Use some of the following conversation for some ideas:  ”Have you thought about moving to somewhere you can get more health?” ”Have you considered hiring a home health aide to help out with your diabetes?” ”Where do you see yourself in the next few years?” No good decision was ever made in the heat of anger. The decision to move your parents into senior living should not be made alone. Do not try and force your opinion on your parents without first talking about all the options and listening to their opinions. This might help make the idea of moving more palatable and less combative. Researching, reviewing, and presenting facts may help distance yourself from a very emotional decision. This may be a tough time in your life and your parents’ lives. Try and examine facts as much as you can rather than making a decision solely on emotion. Your parents may be resistant at first to moving. This may especially be true if they have an attachment to their current home. They have resided there for many years. Try to place yourself in your parents’ shoes. Try and be courteous to their wishes and respect what they want. This might not always be the case given health concerns, but at least consider their viewpoint. This is a stressful situation. Your parents might vehemently disagree with this at the start. Keep calm and keep the...

Do not leave dog food or bones out, as flies are attracted to open food sources. Set specific meal times for your dog to prevent their living space from becoming infested with flies. veral times a week. If your dog is often bothered by flies in your home, you may have an infestation. Regularly vacuuming your carpet will help you pick up any fly eggs on the ground that may be unseen by the naked eye. After vacuuming your home, empty the vacuum cleaner outside to prevent reinfestation. Because flies thrive in dirty conditions, keeping your dog's living areas well-maintained is important for preventing fly bites. Throw away any garbage, dog waste, or old food as you see it to avoid unpleasant smells, which can attract flies quickly. Flies are most active during the summer months, especially during the day. The hotter the temperature, the more likely your dog is to be infested with flies. Keep your dog indoors during the late morning and afternoon to prevent fly bites.

Do not leave the person alone if you believe they are in crisis.  Seek immediate help by calling 9-1-1, a crisis intervention specialist, or a trusted friend. If someone is in a suicidal crisis, practice means restriction, which involves reducing their ability to harm themselves.  It is particularly important to remove any items that were specifically part of a visualized suicide plan.  Most men who take their lives choose guns to harm themselves, while women are more likely to poison themselves with drugs or toxic chemicals.  Remove the person’s access to firearms, medications, toxic chemicals, belts, ropes, very sharp knives or scissors, cutting tools like saws, and/or any other items that may facilitate a suicide.   Your goal in removing the means of suicide is to slow down the suicide process so that the person has time to calm themselves down and choose to live. The person in crisis will likely ask you to keep their feelings of suicide a secret.   However, you should not feel obligated to keep this request; this is a life-threatening event, so calling a crisis management specialist to help is not a violation of the person’s trust. You may want to call on one or more of the following resources for help:  the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). the Crisis text Line at 741741 if you'd prefer to send a message a school counselor or spiritual leader such as a priest, pastor, or rabbi the person in crisis’s doctor 9-1-1 (if you feel the person is in immediate danger)

Do not let your anxiety or fear get the best of you. Picture everything that you want coming true. Literally picture the best-case scenario playing out in your head. Continue to picture your wish coming true while you’re getting ready for bed, making a vision board, or talking on your phone. Keep thinking positive thoughts to ensure that you’re projecting a positive outcome!  If you’re having trouble staying positive, try to identify the source of your negative thoughts and challenge them in your head. For example, if you’re scared that you won’t get what you want for Christmas, try to figure out what you’re actually scared of. If you’re scared that your family or Santa will forget about you, fight back by reminding yourself of all of the reasons that you’re worth remembering! To meditate, sit up straight in a chair or sit on the ground in the lotus position. Turn the lights down and shut out any distractions. Close your eyes and focus on smoothing your breathing out by counting your individual breaths. Once you’re relaxed, start thinking about your wish. Let your mind wander and explore different avenues and lines of thinking. A mantra is a phrase or slogan that is repeated over and over again. The goal is to help concentrate on your phrase to visualize it and help it come true. Sit down with a blank piece of paper. Starting in the top left of the page, write your entire wish out. On the next line, write your wish again by copying the same exact words. Do this until you’ve covered the entire page. Let your mind wander a little while you’re doing this. Think about the individual words that you’re writing and consider how your body feels as you write. You may find yourself running up against certain realizations concerning problems with your wish. If at any point you realize that there is a problem with your wish, go ahead and revise it. You also need to recognize that wishing is not a scientific way of achieving a goal.

Do not pick at them. Picking at a pimple can lead to infection, scarring, or the spread of pimple-causing bacteria. If you want a beautiful complexion, you have to be willing to let your pimples clear up over time. Using warm water and a gentle cleanser, wash any acne-prone areas every morning and evening. Resist the urge to use hot water or to scrub harshly: a gentle touch is needed in order to see an improvement. Shampooing every day or keeping your hair tied back can also help reduce the amount of oil that spreads from your hair to your face. Certain environments and professions that involve exposure to grease might exacerbate blemishes. If you are worried about blemishes or have blemish-prone skin, you might want to steer clear of jobs where you would work with grease, such as working in fast food. Items such as hats, stuffy clothing, headbands, and phones can make your skin produce more oil and can also spread acne-causing bacteria. Try to keep any blemish-prone skin areas clear of objects that might spread oil and bacteria. Wear breathable, loose fabrics to help avoid clogged pores on your body. It might be tempting to exfoliate skin that is particularly prone to blemishes. However, you must resist the urge to use harsh exfoliating treatments on this delicate skin. You risk damaging your skin, and exfoliating treatments will not improve the acne. These are the most common ingredients in over-the-counter anti-acne topical treatments. They will help reduce the amount of oil on your skin and will help prevent acne outbreaks. Follow the instructions carefully, and be on the lookout for possible allergic reactions to these products. However, it is normal to experience some initial redness or peeling in the first month of use.

Do not place women, or any particular woman, on a pedestal.  No woman is perfect.  Women are human beings just like you, with their own struggles and challenges.  Many women are just as scared and vulnerable as you are.  Being realistic in your evaluation of women as a whole can render you less afraid of them.  Every woman has her own unique characteristics and traits.  Learn about them in greater depth to find out how to best converse with a given woman.  For instance, you might ask one woman about her favorite sports team, while you might inquire with another about her family.  Learn what each woman values in their life, and encourage her to share it with you. Accept that not all women will get along with you.  Women are individuals, each of whom has their own tastes and preferences.  Some people just don’t get along. Women confront huge problems in their everyday lives that men never have to think about.  Wage disparities, sexual harassment, abortion rights, and the double day are just a handful of the challenges unique to women.  The more you understand women and their struggles, the less they will seem to be an alien race, and the less scared of them you will become.  Read accounts of women’s liberation and struggles.  Literature by feminist activists like Gloria Steinem will enlighten you as to how women’s experiences and goals are different than -- but just as valid as -- those of men. Other important feminist literature like A Room of One’s Own, Herland, and The Yellow Wallpaper will illustrate women’s issues for you in great relief.  Understanding these differences can erode the fear you have for women and replace it with an abiding respect and admiration. Some people think women are best suited to simply being mothers or wives and doing domestic chores.  When you see that women are just as capable of greatness as men, you’ll be less likely to think of them as another, separate category unto themselves.  Think of a professional field and think about all the women who have contributed to it.  Seeing...

Do not push yourself to your physical limit with each workout. Instead, try interval training, distance training, and light bicycling once or twice each week to get in a variety of difficulty levels and to allow your body time to recover between stressful workouts. One of the simplest ways to get additional benefit from your bicycling fitness regimen is to add upper body or core strength training to your regimen while using a stationary bike.  Try bringing dumbbells to the gym to use while riding a stationary bike. Just be sure to keep your posture correct and to focus on maintaining balance and proper breathing.     Resistance bands will expand the number of upper body exercises you can do while riding a stationary bike.     Focus on tightening your abs and holding your shoulders in good posture while you cycle to help strengthen your core and shoulders. To work your abdominal muscles even further, place your hands behind your head and cycle slowly while twisting the upper body side to side gently, keeping abs tight.     Perform flexibility exercises while cycling, such as shoulder rotations, yoga sun salutations, butterfly movements, and other movements that help tone and stretch your upper body muscles.

Vary the degree of difficulty. Add upper body or core exercises to your routine.


Do not put the keys in the ignition; your vehicle cannot be running when you run your power cable and hook up your head unit, amp, and sub. Press the button or pull the lever in your vehicle to unlatch the hood from the engine. Raise the hood of your vehicle and lock it in place. If you can, do this indoors. Wiring a sub, amp, and head unit can take quite a bit of time and you’ll have to have quick access to a lot of tools. Doing this indoors will make it easier to stay cool and keep track of things. Take the cover off of your vehicle’s negative terminal by prying it up and popping it off. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the bolt on the terminal by turning your wrench counter clockwise. Remove the nut and pull off the cable connecting your battery’s terminal to the rest of the vehicle and fold it away from your battery.  Look for a positive (+) and negative (-) sign on the battery to distinguish between the positive and negative terminals. The positive terminal usually has a red cover as well. You may need a socket wrench extender to reach the bolt on the terminal. Pop the cover and unscrew the bolt on your positive terminal. With the bolt removed, slide the open loop of your power cable over the screw for your positive terminal. Slide the bolt on top of the screw so that the power cable’s loop is in between the bolt and the base of the terminal. Reattach the bolt with a socket wrench to secure the loop to the battery.  The power wire or cable is used to power your amplifier. It used electricity from the battery to turn the amp on and off. Power cables for vehicle audio systems are usually red.

Do not put your salamander’s tank in direct sunlight, as the sunlight can heat the tank up too much. Use an appliance timer to switch the light on and off according to the natural light found in your salamander’s native environment. This means making the ‘days’ and ‘nights’ longer or shorter based on what season you are in so your sal can live like it would out in the wild. The temperature you set up will depend on the type of sal you have. Salamanders from temperate climates, like the tiger salamander, will not need any form of heating. Sals from tropical and semi-tropical locales will need heat. Ask your pet store or run an internet search on what temperatures your sal should be exposed to. Always provide a temperature gradient--one side of the tank should be warmer than the other side. To give them the heat they like use one of the following:  Aquarium water heater: These are submersible heaters that will warm the temperature of the water and increase the humidity in the tank. Heating pad: This can be placed under one side of the tank. Heat lamp: You should monitor these because they may kill the plants in your tank. You will also have to regulate how hot the heat lamp makes the tank.

Use a broad-spectrum light for your sal. Give your sal the temperature they want.


Do not raise your hands and do not flail. Keeping your arms in the water displaces more liquid, and makes you more buoyant. Cupping your hands allows you to deliver more force in each stroke. Pushing downward with your cupped hands will move your shoulders and head above the surface of the water. This pushes water underneath you, and will keep you on the surface. The closer your legs are together the more water they will displace, but you want to keep them just far enough to not knock into each other. Think about a typical walking motion, and that will provide a good gauge. Kicking will also prevent your arms from tiring. Ideally you will use your hands and arms together, but that will take some coordination and practice. You can alternate between the two while you get used to the motions. Alternating kicking and pushing with your arms will allow you to stay buoyant for a longer period. Keeping air in your lungs will make you more buoyant and less likely to slip beneath the surface. Feeling like you could drown is a frightening experience, and can make you want to breath rapidly or hold your breath, but it is important to remain calm. Avoiding hyperventilation and loss of oxygen will help you get back out of the water. Let someone know you are in trouble, but stay calm as you wait for assistance.

The type of printer does not matter here, so you can use a laser or an inkjet printer.  Make sure that you use printer paper; you can even use binder paper in a pinch. Don't use cardstock, however, or it will be too thick for the transfer to work. Skip this step if you sketched your own text.

Do not say anything to egg them on (including threats, racist words, or sarcastic comments). This could escalate the fight, and your goal is to end the fight altogether. If their friends are there, they could end up using your words against you. Or, if the fight persists, the opponent could end up winning and then those words would come back to haunt you. If their friends or allies join the fight and you are outnumbered, try to run and defend yourself while sprinting off. Keep careful watch on the body language of everyone there, so that you can be ready to react with fast reflexes. Dodge any objects that they may try to throw at you. Call for help if needed. Certain people are just plain cruel, and avoiding them altogether could be the best plan. Steer clear of areas where a bully usually hangs out, and instead find a new route to get where you need to go. You are not cowardly for wanting to avoid confrontation and maintain peace in your life. Do not get carried away in the fight, and never try to cause permanent physical harm to another person. Do not aim for their face, for instance. Do not use objects to fight; simply use your hands to defend yourself. Once you have protected yourself from harm, retreat from the fight. You can certainly use objects as a shield, such as holding up a book to block blows. However, you will lose the respect of your peers if you use such objects against your opponent and the odds become uneven and unfair.

Do not say rude things that are unnecessary, whether they are true or false. Saying things that will further agitate a situation will do nothing to improve your relationship with your mother. No matter what, Mom will always think she knows what's best for her baby, and you will always be her baby. Tell her that she is entitled to her opinion, but that you feel differently.

Do not simply hang up your mirrors everywhere in your home. Always take into account what the mirror is reflecting before hanging it up. You want to use mirrors to maximize light sources and emphasize space.  Mirrors should reflect a light source in order to brighten a room by creating more light. A mirror facing a blank wall will not do much to brighten your space. Instead, place a mirror across from a window or a well-lit area in your home. You should also avoid placing mirrors in areas where they will reflect things like furniture and clutter. You do not want a mirror to make a room look more cluttered. Instead of having a mirror facing a somewhat messy desk, have it reflect a sleek mantel that only holds a few decorative items. One strategically placed mirror in the kitchen is enough to make the room more open. Too many mirrors can be overwhelming and even look tacky. Mirrors are not usually necessary in the kitchen, so more than one mirror may look odd to visitors. For example, if you opt for a horizontal mirror running down one wall, do not put a mirror on the opposite wall. The effect will be overwhelming. Ceiling mirrors are no longer in fashion. They were popular in the '70's, but many decorators find them tacky. Also, mirrors on the ceiling will not do much to create the illusion of space. Stick to hanging mirrors on the wall. Mirrors can be great in your bedroom if you want to create more space there, as well as more light. A full-length mirror near your closet can work great if it, say, reflects a window or a lamp.

Be strategic about where you place mirrors. Do not go overboard with mirrors in the kitchen. Avoid ceiling mirrors.


Do not soak the beans, as this old technique has since been proven to ruin flavor and texture. Simply rinse them off and move on. The bigger decision, of course, is which beans to use:   Pinto beans are the classic choice. Sweet but savory, with a good size for mashing and a creamy texture, they are the top refried beans.  Black beans are slightly courser, without the sweet notes of pinto beans, which can lead to a somewhat more muted flavor that compliments many flavors well without overpowering.  Navy, cannellini, and white beans can all be used for delicious refried beans, though they won't be "classic" by any stretch. They tend to have a lighter flavor and creamy texture, but are all open for culinary experiments. The water should be at least a few inches above the beans, as they will absorb the liquid as they cook. You should be able to easily pierce each bean with a fork when they are done. These water, which is lightly flavored, will help cook the beans the second time, in your frying pan. Ladle out at least one cup of the bean cooking liquid for later. Use a skillet big enough to fit the beans, melting your frying fat first while the cooked beans sit to the side. The type of fat you use will greatly impact the flavor of your final dish, so choose wisely:   Lard: the "king" of refried bean fats, this is the most common fat used to cook the beans. Pork fat, in particular, is a spectacular choice.  Bacon drippings: the second-most common fat in recipes, as it is readily available and lends a rich, smokey flavor to the beans. Can be mixed or cut with vegetable oil.  Vegetable or Canola oil: these mild oils will allow the flavors of your spices, beans, and onions to shine through. Don't use high-flavor oils like olive or truffle unless you want those flavors in the beans -- which most cooks don't.  Butter: not incredibly common, but still delicious, butter imparts a rich creaminess to the beans that is unconventional, but certainly delicious. Cook them over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until translucent,...

Choose your dried beans and rinse off 2 1/2 cups in cool water. Cover the beans with at least 2" of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the beans cook for 1-2 hours, until tender. Drain or strain out the beans, retaining the water they were cooked in for later. Pick out your fat and heat 5-6 tablespoons of it on medium high heat. While letting beans sit, fry the chopped onions in your oil. Add garlic, along with salt and seasonings, when onions have 1-2 minutes to go. Add the beans fry everything for 2 minutes or so. Add one cup of reserved liquid and use a potato masher to smash the mixture up. Let the mashed mixture simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.


Do not step in for a handshake, a hug, or even a friendly clap on the back. Instead, maintain a respectful distance of several feet. Japanese culture values space and privacy, so make sure your body language reflects these values. Keeping two or three feet between you and someone else is a good rule of thumb. If you are further away, speaking and interacting may prove awkward or difficult. Speak distinctly but quietly, stay off of your cell phone in public spaces, and allow your hosts to take the initiative. Doing these things will demonstrate to your friends, hosts, or business colleagues that you are adaptable and value their cultural norms. Boisterous and aggressive behavior are both considered disrespectful. Be kind to any vendors or service people you come across. Bold eye contact is considered quite rude, so keep your eyes averted whenever possible. Although you do not have to stare at your feet, try to watch someone’s mouth while they talk, or their chin. Avoid heavy eye contact, as this can appear aggressive and inappropriate.  Practice avoiding eye contact in the mirror by talking and watching your mouth, or in interactions with people from your home. This rule may be lax in some areas of Japan, or among younger crowds. Hold your bow for between two and five seconds, keeping your hands near your hips or thighs. The more respect you wish to convey, the deeper your bow should be. You can also bow with your hands pressed together near your heart. Although you should never initiate a handshake, you can accept one. Touching in general is considered somewhat taboo in a formal situation, so a handshake should only be engaged in if the person to whom you are speaking begins the contact. In Japanese culture, exchanging business cards is an important aspect of communication. To properly offer your business card, extend your card with both hands, preferably with Japanese writing on the side of the card facing your colleague.  To accept a card, take the card with both hands and bow to indicate your appreciation....

Maintain distance. Be respectful. Keep your gaze lowered. Bow from the waist to a 45-degree angle. Shake hands, if offered. Provide your business card.


Do not stick objects inside your cast as a way to calm your itch. Scratching your skin with these objects may break skin or lead to infection.   You also may end up going to additional doctor's visits, or need to get a new cast put on, due to items that are now trapped inside the cast.  These items include:   Chopsticks Pencils or other writing tools Coat hanger wire Powders and lotions may reduce perspiration on the skin, but should only be used outside the cast so that the skin stays clean and soft.  Powder inside a cast can cake and cause sores.  If your cast has a perspiration odor, this is normal; however, if you notice an unusual or foul odor coming from the cast contact your doctor. Even though that itchy, scratchy feeling may feel miserable, damaging your cotton lining to your cast, or loosening your cast, may make matters worse.  For some casts, the cotton lining is used to protect the skin from a saw blade when the cast is removed. Without that protective lining in its proper place, the skin may get scratched during removal.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Avoid using tools that may lead to infection, or get trapped in your cast. Limit your use of powder or lotions. Stop pulling at, or tearing, your cast's lining.


Do not swerve into the right lane, or cut anyone off (abruptly move into the lane without adequate room). If you cannot get into the right lane, do not attempt to turn on red. If your turn signal is still on, you can leave it on. You can also turn it off briefly before signalling your turn. For the safety of drivers and bicyclists around you, you should never begin your turn without signalling. In some states, you cannot turn on red if there is a red right arrow, so check your state laws. Many cities also have laws in addition to, or separate from, state laws. Make sure you know all the laws in your city. If there is a crosswalk, stop at the crosswalk. Otherwise, stop at the limit line. You must stop completely before making your turn. Do not coast through the turn, even if all appears to be clear. Pedestrians crossing always have the right of way. Cyclists may also be coming behind you. If there is a bike lane, you must signal and enter it just as you would a regular lane.  Oftentimes cyclists pull out further into the intersection, and may not be required to obey red lights.  Keep this in mind as you check for them.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Make sure that you are in the right lane. Begin signaling about 100 feet (30.5 m) before you intend to turn. Check the stop light for a “No Turn on Red” sign. Come to a complete stop. Check for pedestrians and cyclists.


Do not try to fight the shooter if you can safely escape or hide from the assailant. Fighting should be a last resort, but if you must fight, it's important to go into full survival mode. Locate anything you can use to hit or harm the shooter, such as a chair or fire extinguisher or pot of hot coffee. Most people won't have armed weapons on hand, so you'll need to improvise and use what you've got around you. You could hold the object in front of your body to deflect the shots or throw it at the shooter.  Scissors or letter openers can be used as a knife. Even a pen could be used as a weapon, particularly since you give it leverage with the back of your thumb.  If there is a fire extinguisher nearby, grab it. You can spray the fire extinguisher in the shooter's face, or use the object itself to bash the shooter in the head. Fighting back against the shooter is always a last resort if your life is endangered. If you cannot escape or hide, work alone or with others to fight. Try to find a way to get the gun out of his hands or to knock him down to disorient him. Encourage others to try and help you. Working as a group will give you an advantage over the solitary shooter. If the shooter is very close, you could try to disarm him, again, only if your life is absolutely in danger. Whatever you do, it's important that you act fast and focus on disarming or incapacitating the shooter.  If the shooter has a rifle, grab the barrel and turn it away from you while striking or kicking him at the same time. The shooter will likely try to get control of the weapon back, but if you follow his movement he may be caught off guard and get thrown off balance. If you can get the butt end of the rifle as well, then you'll have both ends and can use the weapon as leverage to further kick, knee, or push the assailant.  If the shooter has a pistol, try to grab it by the barrel from the top, so that he cannot point it at you. With many models, grabbing the pistol from the top keeps the gun from cycling properly, so while the already...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Fight as a last resort. Find items to use as weapons. Incapacitate the shooter. Be physically aggressive. Stay committed.


Do not use a hammer if it is rusty, the wood is splintering, or if the head is loose. Using a hammer that is not in good working order can result in injuries.  For example, if the head of the hammer is loose, it can fly off when swinging it. If you can, use a screwdriver to tighten the nails. If not, you may have to replace the hammer. If the wood is splintered, the hammer can break upon impact. You could injure or lose your eye if a nail or other flying object hits it. When you put on the safety glasses, make sure your entire eye area is covered and the strap is tightly secured. If you are distracted or daydreaming while working, you can wind up hurting yourself by mistake. Stay present as you work, and keep your attention on the hammer. This way, you are less likely to have an accident. If you daydream while working, you could wind up hitting your fingers instead of the nails.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Inspect the hammer before using it to ensure it’s in good condition. Wear safety eyewear to protect against flying items. Stay focused on what you’re doing at all times to prevent injury.


Do not use clear school glue for this. They are not the same thing and will not produce the same type of slime. You can use a spoon or rubber spatula to do this. As you add the baking soda, you may notice the glue starting to thicken, which is normal. If the slime is still too sticky for you, add 1/4 tbsp (3.75 mL) of contact solution, and keep kneading it.

Pour 4  fl oz (120 mL) of white school glue into a bowl. Stir in 1/2 tbsp (7.5 g) of baking soda. Add more contact saline solution, if needed.


Do not use products that contain sulfates. Sulfates are great at cleaning your hair, but they can also strip it of dye. If you want to make your color last longer, stick with color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Most products will say on the label if they are color-safe or sulfate-free. If you are not sure, read the ingredient list on the back of the bottle. Avoid anything with the word "sulfate" in it. Add some of your dye to your bottle of conditioner. This will deposit a little bit of color into your hair each time that you wash it and help the color last longer. Purchase a deep-conditioning mask meant for colored or chemically-treated hair. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a plastic shower cap. Wait for the time on the package, then rinse the mask out. Most hair masks need to be left in your hair for 5 to 10 minutes, but some need to be left in for 15 to 20 minutes. Read the label, but don't panic if you leave the mask in too long. The more often you wash your hair, the faster it will fade--even with a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. If your hair tends to get oily or greasy, consider using a dry shampoo between your washing sessions. Much like heat styling, hot water can cause the dye to fade faster from your hair. It can also cause your hair to appear damaged. After you have finished shampooing and conditioning your hair, rinse your hair with cold water for 1 minute for extra smoothness and shine. If you can't handle cold water, use lukewarm water instead. Unless it is freezing outside and you are running late for work or school, let your hair air dry. If you want to curl your hair, seek out a method that does not require any heat, such as foam hair rollers. Avoid straightening your hair, when possible.  If you must use a flat iron or a curling iron, make sure that your hair is completely dry first. Apply a good heat protectant and use a lower heat setting. The sun can cause the color to fade as well. Wear hats, scarves, or hoods when going outside....

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Use color-safe, sulfate-free products. Deep-condition your hair once per week with a hair mask. Wash your hair no more than once or twice a week. Use cool water when washing your hair. Limit the heat styling when possible. Touch up your hair every 3 to 4 weeks, or as needed.


Do not use regular paint primer, even if it is labeled "for metal." It is not the same thing. Purchase a can of "self-etching primer" from a home improvement store or an auto specialty store, and use that instead. While you can brush paint onto aluminum, you have to spray the primer on. The aerosol cans that paints and primers come in release fumes, which can cause headaches and lightheadedness.  Outside would be the best option, but if you can't work there, choose a large room with good ventilation and open windows. A respirator mask is a must. Do not paint if it is raining or humid outside, as this can affect the curing process. Shake the can for about 30 to 60 seconds first, then hold it about 8 inches (20 cm) from the surface. Spray on a light, even coat using overlapping strokes. You can spray side-to-side or up-and-down. Overlap each stroke ever so slightly to ensure that you are covering the surface evenly.  If your can has a different set of application instructions, you should follow those instead. If you are working with a multi-sided object, let the first side dry to the touch before priming the other sides. Check the can again to find out exactly how long you should wait before applying a second coat. Most primers will have a "between coats" drying time and a curing time. Refer to the "between coats" time for this. How long it takes for the primer to dry depends on the brand that you are using. In most cases, you'll have to wait between 5 and 15 minutes. Again, check your can to find out exactly how many coats of primer you should use and how long you should wait for it to cure. In most cases, you'll need about 3 to 4 coats of primer and wait about 1 hour for it to cure.  Be patient and let the primer cure. If you don't wait long enough, the paint and primer may peel. Double-check the instructions on the can for more specific curing times. Remember to apply light coats of primer. This will help it cure properly. If you slap on a thick coat, the primer may go tacky or just peel off.

Purchase a can of self-etching paint primer. Find a well-ventilated area to work in. Spray an even coat of self-etching primer onto the aluminum. Let the primer dry for 15 minutes before adding a second coat. Add 2 to 3 more coats, then wait about 1 hour for the primer to cure.


Do not use this method for crystal wine glasses, or for wine glasses with long, delicate stems. Also, do not use this method for painted or glittered wine glasses. Do not load them in with anything that is very dirty or greasy. The grease can get on the glasses and smear them. Try to have about a hands width between each glass. This will lessen the chances of the glasses bumping against each other and chipping. The less detergent you use, the better. Also, try to use a mild, low-alkaline detergent. Do not add any rinse-aid. Rinse-aid may help prevent water stains, but it will also leave behind a chemical residue that will affect the flavor of your next glass of wine. If the wine glasses are stained, consider adding half a wine glass of white vinegar into the wash cycle. If you can, try to use a lower water temperature setting as well. The higher the water temperature, the more likely your wine glasses will be to crack. Instead, open the door at the end of the cycle to let the glasses air dry without humidity. Gently wipe them dry with a soft, lint-free cloth (such as microfiber), and put them away.

Choose short-stemmed wine glasses made out of glass. Plan on washing the glasses separate from the rest of your dishes. Place the glasses upside down on the top rack, and space them so that they are not touching. Use a small amount of odorless detergent. Use a short, gentle cycle. Skip the drying cycle. Dry the glasses by hand if you live in an area with hard water.


Do not wait to deal with bullying. If you see or hear about someone being bullied, then step in to stop the bullying right away. If you cannot intervene yourself, then find someone who can. If you’re an adult intervening in a bullying situation, you may also want to get help from a second adult.  You can try standing up for the person and saying something like, “Stop it, Lisa!” Don’t insult the bully or use physical force to stop them from bullying the person. If you are not able to intervene or if intervening does not work, then get help from someone. For example, if you see someone being bullied on the playground, then run and get a teacher or recess monitor and tell them what is happening. Don’t wait until later to tell someone. If you wait, the person may get hurt. Tell a teacher or counselor about any ongoing bullying that you know about. Some forms of bullying, such as exclusion or subtle remarks, may go unnoticed by teachers. It is important to keep the bully away from the person they are bullying. If you’re helping a peer who is being bullied, go with them to a safe space away from the bully. If you’re an adult trying to stop a bullying situation, do not force the two parties to be in the same room together or to shake hands and make up. Put them in separate rooms and talk with each one individually.  Ask each person what happened. You can also talk to other kids who witnessed the bullying, but don’t do this in front of the bully or the person who was being bullied. If you didn’t witness the bullying yourself, take your time sorting out the details of what happened. Do not try to figure everything out on the spot. Talk with both parties if you can, ask witnesses what they saw, and then put all of the pieces together. Bullying is a serious problem that can escalate and cause serious damage if it is not stopped. Take any bullying that you see or hear about very seriously, and don’t hesitate to tell someone who can help. You might even need to contact the police or call emergency services in some...

Do not wait to get treatment for schizophrenia. If you have not been properly diagnosed, see a medical professional as soon as you  notice symptoms in yourself so that you may begin treatment. The earlier treatment is started the better the outcome tends to be. Symptoms tend to begin in men in their early or mid-20s whereas symptoms are more likely to first occur in women in their late 20s.  Signs of schizophrenia can include:  A sense of suspiciousness. Unusual or strange thoughts, such as believing someone close to you wishes you harm. Hallucinations, or changes in your sensory experiences; for example, seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, or feeling things that others don’t experience in situations where they should if you are experiencing them.  Disorganized thinking or speech. 'Negative' symptoms (i.e., reductions of typical behavior or functioning) such as a lack of emotion, a lack of eye contact, a lack of facial expression, neglect of hygiene, and/or social withdrawal. Disorganized or abnormal motor behavior, such as putting one's body into weird postures, or engaging in pointless or excessive movements. There are several factors that put individuals at an increased risk for developing schizophrenia:  Having a family history of schizophrenia. Taking mind-altering drugs as a young adult or teenager. Certain types of experiences in the womb, such as exposure to viruses or toxins. Increased immune system activation from things like inflammation. Unfortunately, schizophrenia is not a condition that can simply go away. Treatment will be a necessary part of your life, and creating a treatment plan will help to turn your treatment into another normal part of your daily activities. To create a treatment plan, talk with your doctor about the medications and therapies that will best fit your specific condition. Remember that everyone is different—not all medications or therapies will work for everyone, but you must keep trying to find the treatment that works best for you. Do not try to figure out what the right...

Start early. Learn about the risk factors. Meet with your doctor regarding treatment. Ask your doctor about your medication options. Try psychotherapy. Think about engaging in a community approach.


Do not waste time keeping up with friends who bring you down, waste your time, or bore you. Start by cutting out the relationships that do not uplift you. Or at the very least stop investing so much energy. You do not have to be rude or invite drama into this process. For example, you do not have to make ugly Facebook updates about how you are making big cuts from your contact list. Just stop making the extra effort. Take away the water and the plant will shrivel. Make the effort to spend time with people you like.  Keep a close group of friends who mean a lot to you and make an effort to spend time with them. It is also OK to have friends and acquaintances that may not be your best friends, but bring you a lot of happiness. The key is to invest your time and energy in people that bring you joy. Relationships are often in flux; honor this. Your co-worker becomes a friend, you have a falling-out with Maria, and maybe you develop a crush on that cute redhead.  Aim for simplicity, but understand that emotions, relationships, and all we go through can be confusing. One way that our lives get complicated is being "agreeable." We think it helps to simplify if we let other people make the call: where to eat for lunch, what responsibilities to take on at work, whether or not you're available to drive your friend to the airport. Alternatively, if you tend to be assertive and don't struggle to let people know how you feel,  it might simplify your life to keep quiet sometimes. Don't cause drama if there's no need for drama in the situation. Maintaining relationships, romantic and otherwise, gets complicated. When you're focused on other peoples' quirks and habits, you're focused less on yourself and what your needs are. You're complicating your life for others instead of simplifying it for yourself. It's not selfish to want to spend time alone, working on you. Consider going on a vacation by yourself, traveling solo to a place you've always wanted to visit. Rely on your own skills to navigate and get you through. Maybe...

Do not wear loose-fitting clothes, clothes made from flammable synthetic materials, or clothing with frayed or torn edges that may ignite more easily than tightly-woven, clean-hemmed garments.  Fire-retardant clothing is recommended but, if that isn’t available, wear close-fitting cotton clothes. Nylon and most other common synthetic clothes will rapidly burn if caught on fire! Sturdy, leather-soled work boots are recommended. Hot pieces of metal, called slag, can easily burn through rubber-soled shoes. Laced boots are preferable since slag can drop into the top of pull-on boots, like engineer's boots and cowboy boots. You should also have a set of cutting goggles and heavy leather gloves. For most projects, a compressed air and water extinguisher will work, but if oil, plastics, or other combustible materials are around, an "ABC" extinguisher is recommended. It’s also a good idea to have another person standing nearby who can alert you if something catches fire. Flying slag can easily cause a fire in your workspace, so test your fire extinguisher to ensure it’s in good working order before you start cutting. Working on bare earth or a concrete slab is highly recommended since sparks are going to fly many feet from the cutting location. Dry material like paper, sawdust, cardboard, and dried plant foliage or grass can be ignited from 15 feet (4.6 m) or further. Do not allow the flame to contact concrete, especially fresh concrete, as it may cause it to expand and crack violently, sending small bits of concrete flying. A steel table is ideal since you can brace yourself to steady the torch. Never use a surface that is flammable, like a wooden table, or one that has had flammable materials spilled on it. Also, beware of material that has metallic oxide coatings, such as lead paint, chromate primers, and zinc plating, since inhaling the fumes from these can be toxic. If you need a more precise cut, measure a little extra space so you can grind your cut. You may use a permanent marker if a soapstone is not...

Do not wrap it with cling wrap or butcher paper at this point, which will trap heat in the meat and promote spoilage. Make sure the carcass is cool and dry. As soon as possible, the meat needs to be transported and stored at 34–38 °F (1–3 °C). Avoid freezing the meat right away, as freezing will inhibit the aging process and speed its spoiling after the meat is thawed. The most difficult part of the process is finding a space big enough for your deer that can be temperature controlled. The most popular location is generally a garage, shed, or an outbuilding. Places that receive some heat seepage from the house, like a garage tend to be particularly effective.  If you don't have a garage, talk to friends and other hunting acquaintances to find a suitable location. Or follow the first few steps of the breaking down process to quarter the meat and age it in a spare refrigerator. The quarters from an average deer should fit in a standard fridge.  Err on the side of too cold. Generally, you'll freeze at least some of the meat after breaking it down anyway. Be very careful not do let your venison spoil by aging it above 40 °F (4 °C).  Make sure to keep a thermometer in your aging space. Use a meat hook and chain or rope to affix the meat to a sturdy rafter in your aging location. If you don't have a meat hook, try using an old wire hanger inside the carcass to hang the deer. Like beef, aging the meat causes the collagen in the muscle cells to break down. The quality and flavor of the venison is greatly improved by letting the meat sit for a week in a cool space with good air circulation.  This causes the surface of the meat to dry, but don't worry--this can be trimmed off during the butchering process. The meat will continue to grow more tender for 16-21 days.

Wash the venison with plenty of cold water, then transport it with ice. Find a suitable location for aging. Hang the carcass. Age the meat for at least a week.


Do not yank on the cord to pull the blinds up or down. Make sure children do not pull on the cords or twist the slats. Careful use will ensure that the blinds will work properly and last a long time. The slats on the blinds will gather dust over time. Every couple of weeks, wipe each slat carefully with a downward motion. You can also use a soft vacuum upholstery attachment, running it over each slat to remove dust. Alternately, wear a pair of soft gloves or old socks on your hands and rub your hands along each slat. Twist the slats to clean the other side.  If there are stains on the slats, use a wood cleaner to clean them off. Using a damp cloth with a small amount of cleaner, test an inconspicuous spot to make sure the cleaner does not mar or stain the surface of your blinds. Gently scrub the dirt with the cleaner, rubbing along the grain of the wood. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.  Be careful not to get the blinds wet. Using a damp cloth is fine, but too much moisture can warp the slats and discolor the wood. If a slat gets broken or cracked, you do not need to replace the entire blind. Remove the plugs on the bottom slat to reveal the lift cord knot. Undo the knot and pull the lift cord out of the slat. Continue pulling the cord out, only pulling out of the slats until you reach the slat you want to remove. Replace the slat (available through your blinds manufacturer). Restring the lift cord through the blinds, weaving it back through the slats in the same pattern as you had removed it. Pull the cord through the bottom slat and tie a knot. Replace the plugs on the bottom to cover the knot. Use a rubber mallet to tap these in.

Do so by tapping it in your hotbar. This is a relatively simple, if tedious, task: to do so, fill in the entire foundation area with your hotel's floor's building material.  For example, if your cleared area is the aforementioned twenty-by-twenty space, you'll place 400 blocks of your selected building material here. It's best to first fill in the perimeter so that you don't accidentally stray outside of the boundaries of your hotel's foundation. The ideal number of blocks between the floor and the ceiling is at least four. Each column should be as tall as you're hoping to make the hotel. To calculate this number:  Take the height in blocks you want each room to be, plus one block for the ceiling/floor of the subsequent room. Multiply the height in blocks by the number of stories you want. Discount the layer of blocks that comprises your hotel's foundation. The easiest way to do this is by creating horizontal beams that connect all of your hotel's columns, then filling in the horizontal space for each beam. You're essentially re-creating the foundation on each story. Be sure to leave several spaces for your hotel's stairs to connect each floor. While optional, doing this will complete the building's skeleton. Make sure you leave the walls facing out of the hotel open, since you won't have enough light with which to work if you don't.

Select a building material. Build the foundation. Think about how tall you want each room to be. Place a column in each corner of your foundation. Add floors between stories. Fill in the roof at the top of the hotel.

Do some research at least a couple of weeks before you choose the venue for your party. Look for a beach that’s large enough to accommodate all your guests and has clean water to swim in. Check to make sure the beach you choose has no rules against late parties, alcohol, or bonfires. Find out if you need to reserve your spot ahead of time or ask for permission before throwing your party. The number and personalities of your guests will have a major impact on the overall feel of the party. Start by making a list of your favorite friends and family members and then either narrow it down or build it up from there depending on the head count and the vibe you’re going for.  Are you looking to blare the music and having an all-day dance party on the beach with 50 people or more? Or would you rather have a low-key intimate inner-circle party of only 10? Consider what you want the party to be like and make a guest list of people who fit that. Also be sure to invite guests that will enjoy interacting with each other. Don’t invite two of your friends who broke off their engagement last year and haven’t spoken to each other since. Plan a series of activities to keep the party going. Since you’ll be on a beach, you can include a series of sports, such as a game of volleyball. Include activities that less athletic guests can have fun with as well, such as water gun fights, karaoke or sandcastle building. Whatever activities you choose, plan them at specific times. Your guests will look forward to their favorite activity and will plan their arrival accordingly. You need to keep the music pumping to keep your guests happy throughout the party. Create a list that’s upbeat to keep your guests energized. Have a mix of classic summer tunes as well as popular songs from the current year.  Ask for suggestions from your guests if you’re coming up short on music ideas.  Make sure you have a device that can play the music while at the beach. Use a battery-operated device that has a long battery life. Also bring along some extra...

Do some research into what kinds of food you should feed your fish—some may be fine with a mix of pellets, while others might prefer fresh food from a seafood market. Try to feed them several small servings a day rather than 1-2 large feedings, as this keeps them more satisfied.  Buy food at your pet store or at seafood markets. Make sure any non-pellet food you give your fish are from saltwater habitats, not freshwater. Watch your fish when they feed. They should eat quickly and finish every bite! If you see a fish not eating, talk to your veterinarian. Give your fish a different kind of food every few days to ensure they’re getting the right nutrients and staying satisfied. A protein skimmer collects dissolved organic compounds, like waste, filtering them out of the water to keep it clean and clear. Set yours up according to the package instructions and empty it daily to keep it working well.  To empty the protein skimmer, simply remove the collection cup, empty it in the sink, and rinse it clean. You can buy a protein skimmer wherever fish aquarium products are sold, in pet stores, and online. Protein skimmers can attach below the tank, on the rim, or inside the tank. Although water will eventually evaporate from your aquarium, the salt will be left behind. To return your water level to normal, simply add purified freshwater to the tank. Don’t add new saltwater after evaporation. This will alter the specific gravity of your system. Use an algae magnet, brush, or scraper to clean the algae film off of your aquarium glass every day. If the algae builds up at a slower rate, you can switch to every other day, or even weekly. Along with a few quick everyday tasks, there are a few things you can do on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep your tank clean and pleasant for your fish. These include:  Testing the specific gravity, pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and alkalinity of the water. Clean the salt off your aquarium cover, power cords, and the edges of the tank. Mix up new saltwater and change about 10% of the...

Feed your fish the appropriate food several times a day. Set up a protein skimmer and empty its collection cup every day. Replenish evaporated saltwater with purified freshwater every day. Clean the algae off the tank every day. Test water parameters, change water, and do deeper cleaning weekly. Wash tank parts every month or two. Replace the bulbs in your lighting according to package instructions.


Do some research on what people working on similar projects have been doing. Google is your friend in this adventure. You should not be looking at what others are doing in order to copy them. Instead, you should be seeing where their ideas fall short or what pieces of their project might fit into yours. Once you see what run-of-the-mill folks are doing, find out what the innovators are doing. Seek out the cutting edge and fringe ideas or techniques that other people are experimenting with. You might want to similarly experiment! Such innovation can set you apart, making what you do unique, memorable, and appealing. Get outside of your usual environment. This is a great way to break yourself out of the standard creation loop and think of things that you've never thought of before. Go for a walk, go to a local artisan or farmer's market, or work in a cafe for a while. Any change of environment can help you think in different ways. Always have a journal next to your bed. You'll also want to keep a waterproof note-taking option in your shower area. Good ideas often sneak up on us when we're doing these other activities, but then get lost as we get distracted with whatever else it is we're doing. By having a pen and paper nearby, you'll be able to quickly jot down the things you think of before they fly away! It's important to take breaks, to keep your mind clear of negative response loops. A lot of the time, when you're thinking and coming up with nothing, you get too focused on the fact that you're coming up with nothing, making it impossible to really think. Try having a healthy snack, catch up with a coworker, or do a quick chore (such as cleaning up your mess from dinner). During the brainstorming process, criticism isn't helpful. You'll need the freedom of minimal boundaries in order to get to new ideas. Leave criticism for once you have a long list of possibilities.  If you're brainstorming with other people, you might need to remind some people to keep negative opinions to themselves until the...

Do some research online and/or watch the news to develop an understanding of how your government functions as a whole, how the education system specifically works, and also to learn about what’s going on currently in education. By doing this, you’ll be able to pinpoint flaws in the education system and start thinking about possible solutions. For example, you might watch the news and see a story about the public school teacher turnover rate being at an all-time high. This might make you think about ways that the government could better support teachers so that they feel more motivated to work hard and to stay in their positions. There are often rallies and marches that are planned in order to display support for reform on a large scale. Look into education-related political rallies in your area and take part in them. Additionally, if an important political leader makes a decision that doesn’t benefit the education system, you can participate in peaceful protest.  The March for Public Education occurs annually in Washington, D.C. and in cities all across the United States. For example, if the president makes budget cuts in schools across the nation, people may come together to protest against this decision. . If there isn’t an election soon, you can also do your best to influence the people who are currently in office. Get the contact information of the official you want to talk to. Then, write a clear, cohesive, formal letter or email that articulates your concerns and ideas. If you’re looking for the contact information of an elected official in the United States, you should be able to find it at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. Social media has become a major tool used to express political thoughts and opinions. It’s also used to inform people of current political events. Use this platform to reach all of your friends, family members, and acquaintances. Post educational articles and your personal thoughts on sites like Facebook and Twitter.  You can also post pictures of your “I Voted” sticker after...

Do some research to find an online ministry you can see yourself joining. Some organizations simply send you ordination papers, while, others provide training as to how to perform weddings and other ceremonies. Make sure that whatever you choose is an incorporated and legitimate service.  Some sites are quite religious, while others are purposely unaffiliated with any particular religion. Choose a service that will send you a hard copy of your credentials, with an original signature and a seal.  Additionally, find out if they'll send a letter of good standing or a wallet card.  Free ordinations will usually provide a certificate to be printed from your browser. A higher-quality version, often with a gold seal will normally have to be ordered for a nominal fee. Don’t be fooled by sites that say a church must be a tax-exempt organization to be valid.  This is not true.  It is totally up to the organization to decide if they wish to apply to the IRS for tax-exempt status.  Some organizations choose to keep government out of religion through the payment of taxes. If you'd like to find out more information about the process, as well as whether your ordination will be sufficient to perform any ceremonies you're interested in doing, contact the ministry. While you're at it, you can ask if they know anything about acting as a minster in your particular state.  Avoid organizations that do not list their contact information on their site or do not respond to your attempts to contact them. Know that your ordination may or may not allow you to perform weddings in your state.  You must check the state requirements by calling the clerk in the county in which the wedding is going to be performed. Find out about renewal fees.  Some ministries will ordain you for life, while others will only ordain you for a year. Most online ordination services require you to fill out a short form with your personal information. Every church has different requirements for the ordination process, but most require the following:  Full legal...
