When you have to be somewhere, try to arrive 15-30 minutes before you need to. If you always run late, that means you must be failing to account for something you always do. Anticipate that by giving yourself extra time to arrive. Keep track of whether or not you actually do arrive early! You might find that leaving "early" gets you to places exactly on time. Set one alarm that lets you know it's time to drop what you're doing, and a second alarm that means you need to walking out the door. Obey the alarms!  As soon as the first alarm goes off, stop what you're doing. If it's something you'll be coming back to, like a project for work, make a note to remind yourself where you left off. Grab everything you need, and make sure you know how to get where you're going. Aim to be out the door and on your way before the second alarm rings. This will only work if you take the alarms seriously, so make sure you react as soon as you hear them. Have all of your notes and materials organized well in advance of each event so that all you have to do is grab them and go when it's the actual day. If mornings are a struggle for you, do as much as you can to ready yourself the night before.  Before you go to bed, lay out your clothes and pack your bag for the next day. Plan your meals so that you aren't dithering about trying to find milk for your cereal in the darkest hour of dawn. It soon becomes unbearable to lurch between one meeting and another without space in between. If you overschedule yourself, however, you'll arrive late as soon as you hit a bump.  As well as giving you space, this time also acts as a buffer between events which can be "borrowed" from should you be held up in a prior meeting, allowing you to still get to the next one on time. Calculate transit time between activities, and then add 10-30 minutes for unexpected delays. If you overschedule out of fear of downtime, give yourself something pleasant or productive to do during waits. You might bring a novel you like, or use waiting time to catch up on your...

Always plan to arrive early. Set two alarms. Prepare for the day ahead. Learn to leave time in between tasks and meetings. Trim your schedule. Watch for time traps.


When you have your equations written in standard format, lined up so the similar terms are aligned, check the coefficients. You are looking for one pair of coefficients that match.  For example, consider these two equations:  2x+y=5{\displaystyle 2x+y=5} 2x−3y=1{\displaystyle 2x-3y=1}   You should see very quickly that the term 2x{\displaystyle 2x} appears identically in each equation. Be very careful when matching the terms. Look for the signs (plus or minus) to match as well. For this method of solving, the terms 2x{\displaystyle 2x} and −2x{\displaystyle -2x} are NOT considered to be the same. If your system does not have a matching pair of coefficients, you cannot use this method for solving. You will need to go on to the next method. Working across the system from left to right, subtract each term of the second equation from the corresponding term of the first equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and subtract downward, as you would with any ordinary subtraction problem.  2x+y=5{\displaystyle 2x+y=5} 2x−3y=1{\displaystyle 2x-3y=1} ------------------------ 0x+4y=4{\displaystyle 0x+4y=4} If one of your terms matched exactly, as it should, and you subtracted correctly, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, you should be left with 4y=4{\displaystyle 4y=4}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 4y=4{\displaystyle 4y=4} by 4. You will be left with the solution y=1{\displaystyle y=1}. Take that solution, in our example y=1, and substitute it in place of y{\displaystyle y} in either one of the original equations. In this case, we can choose the first...

Examine the equations in standard format. Subtract corresponding terms. Write out the result. Solve for the remaining variable. Replace that solution into one of your original equations. Solve for the remaining variable. Check your two solutions. Write out your solution.


When you hear negative information about yourself, it's normal to instantly react. Override your urge to frown, roll your eyes, or ignore the person. Exhibiting any of these behaviors can be off-putting and limit the amount of helpful feedback you receive in the future.  Maintain either a welcoming facial expression or try to keep your face blank. This is especially important to partner relationships where emotions play a large role in dynamics.  Sending a negative facial signal can put an end to any further conversation. This also sends the message that you don't find it helpful to learn from others. An attentive and encouraging look can signal to the person giving the criticism that you are open and ready to listen. Your body language can also steer others from giving you constructive feedback. Be mindful of how you are carrying your body when someone is discussing your behavior or performance.  Something as simple as slouching or crossing your arms can signal to others that you are closed off or somehow reacting negatively to what is being said. Nervous movements or gestures can also send negative signals to others.  The best stance to use when actively listening to constructive criticism is one that shows you are open to listen with arms at your side, but standing tall and confident. Really listen to what is being said without running your reply in your head while it is being delivered. Practice non-reactive listening by not arguing or fighting about what is being said. The point is to turn that suggestion inward to learn from it, not to start an argument. By taking your defensive reaction out of the equation you are giving yourself more time and energy to connect with the person speaking and apply what you hear. The basics of active listening are also helpful to show in a non-verbal way that you are listening and also hearing what is being said. This includes making eye contact, staying open by not folding your arms and leaning into the conversation. See if the person has any suggestions for how you can...

Beware of your initial facial expression. Maintain open body language. Listen to the entire message before speaking. Ask clarifying questions about the problem. Thank the person for the feedback.


When you hear the word “ugly” what comes to your mind? Is it a person’s face? Is it a despicable deed? Is it a poorly decorated room? Use your concept of ugliness to generate a story. An asteroid headed straight for Earth generates a few questions: How can it be stopped? What happens if it crashes? Is there a post-apocalyptic landscape? Who might be responsible for this asteroid? Could it be extra-terrestrials? Your folks might be wonderful people, or they might be jerks. Either one could be a good jumping off point for a story. You may tell the truth about your parents, or you may speculate about things that could happen (or could have happened already). Why is the door closed? What is behind it? Is the door inside a building or outside? Is it a freestanding door in the middle of the desert? Could this door lead to another dimension, or open into an important business meeting? A woman opens a fortune cookie that reads, “You are in grave danger. Do not tell this to anyone.” What does the woman do? Does she believe that this fortune is telling the truth? Who could be trying to warn her? Who could be trying to harm her, and why? Writing prompts are an excellent resource, but it's great to know how to come up with your own story ideas. Check out books filled with writing prompts (e.g., 397 Journal Writing Prompts and Ideas, 300 Writing Prompts, and 642 Things to Write About) from your local library, or do some basic internet searches. You may also seek out a writing partnership where you develop prompts for one another. There are also a number of places online where you can find plot ideas. On sites like Reddit, users often post prompts to inspire other users. You can also try a random plot generator website to get some inspiration.

When you hold your breath, you stop your diaphragm from moving normally. Since hiccups seem to be associated with a reflex movement of the diaphragm, halting it can help to end them. After holding your breath for a few seconds, swallow large breaths of air a few times. Repeat this process a few times to see if it can stop your hiccups. Sit while pulling your knees up to your chest or bending over will compress your diaphragm. Hiccups are related to diaphragm spasms, and compressing the diaphragm may reduce the spasms. Be careful getting up and down--remember that your coordination and sense of balance might be impaired when you are drinking. When you drink quickly and without stopping, your abdominal muscles are put to work and your hiccups might end in the process.  You can use a straw or two to help you drink the water more quickly. Make sure that is only water that you are drinking and not alcohol, which can cause hiccups. Coughing forcefully uses a lot of abdominal muscle power, and the action might halt the hiccup reflex. Even if you don't actually have to cough, just make yourself do it. Place your finger on the bridge of your nose and press as hard as you can. It's not clear why this technique works, but putting pressure put on a nerve or blood vessel often seems to help. Sneezing puts abdominal muscles to work, which can break up the hiccupping action and hopefully end it. To make yourself sneeze, try sniffing a little pepper, breathing in a dusty area, or walking out into bright sunshine. Gargling requires you to concentrate, and the action can disrupt the way you are breathing and using your abdominal muscles. All of this together can help end a bout of hiccups. Strong substances like vinegar or pickle juice can “shock” your body into a bout of hiccups. However, if you already have them, they may also “shock” your body into ending them. If this method does not work the first time, it is probably best not to try it again, since drinking too much vinegar can irritate your stomach and esophagus. If it...

Hold your breath. Change your body position. Drink a glass of water quickly. Try coughing. Put pressure on the bridge of your nose. Make yourself sneeze. Gargle with water. Drink a shot of vinegar.

When you home the kitten, ask the previous owner what sort of cat litter the kitten is used to, and offering that litter to start with. Some kittens can be very fussy about what they pee and poop on, and you don't want to change too many things for the newbie in the house. Give the kitten a few days to settle in and become confident where the tray is, then you can start to think about changing over litter for whatever reason. Some types of litter are designed to clump or deodorize any smells from your cat's waste.  You or your cat may find a certain type of litter to be best.  Review the following types of litter to learn which you and your cat may prefer:  Litter that is safe for kittens.  Find a litter that is made of larger, more coarse ingredients such as pine.  Many litters will also say “safe for kittens” on the packaging.  Some litters however may not be appropriate for kittens, such as clumping-type litters or litters that produce a lot of dust.  Clumping-type litters may be ingested by your kitten and can cause stomach discomfort.   Overly dusty litters are bad for your kittens lungs and might cause respiratory problems. The scoop-able or clumping-type of cat litter.  This types makes cleaning easy and requires less thorough replacement than other types of litter.  These are also good at reducing the odor and well-liked by most cats.  Non-clumping litter.  This type is good at removing odors and is usually less expensive than the clumping type.  However, urine might saturate the litter and cause frequent, full changes of the litter.  Crystal-based/silica gel litter.  This type of litter is highly-absorbent, sucking up moisture, urine, and odor.  Once the crystals fully absorb, you will need to change the full amount of litter.  Plant-based/bio-degradable litter.   These may be pine pellets, wheat, and/or corn that neutralize the odors.  This type is that it does not create as much dust or tracking as other litters. Plant-based litter may be a safer option for cats with respiratory problems. Using a...

Try different kinds of litter. Scoop any clumps. Maintain the litter level.


When you hook your bra, it's natural to tighten it as much as you comfortably can, but this can lead to the band stretching. A loose band will cause your straps to slip more, so choose a bra that fits well on the last hook. Over time, your bra will stretch naturally. When your bra starts to feel loose beneath your bust, move to the next hook. To provide the proper support, your straps should be tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight that they pull your bra band out of place. If your straps leave marks on your skin after you take off your bra, the straps are too tight. To tighten your bra straps, grasp the plastic slide and move it so that the strap becomes shorter. You should be able to comfortably slide one finger beneath the strap when you're wearing your bra. Reach to the back of your bra and pull it down below your shoulder blades, so it is even with the front of your bra. When your bra back is too high, it causes discomfort for you and makes the straps fall. Once you know your correct bra size, it will be easier to find a bra that fits properly. Even if you know your size, you should still try on bras to make sure they are the right size, since there may be size differences between styles or manufacturers. Too much room in the cups or the band will mean the straps aren't pulled tight enough and they will be prone to slipping.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Latch your bra on the loosest hook to keep it from stretching. Tighten your bra straps so you can fit one finger beneath them. Keep the back of your bra even with the front. Make sure you're wearing the right size bra to prevent straps from slipping.


When you hug a girl is just as important as how you do it, so play it safe by picking a good moment.  Three good times are:  When you first see her. It is always nice to be greeted by friends with a quick "friends" hug (even if you want to be more than friends). During an emotional moment.  Whether you are on the same team that just won a big game, or if she is having a hard day, a hug can be a really good way to reinforce that you are there for her. When you are parting ways. As with the greeting hug, saying goodbye with a hug is a nice, friendly gesture. Girls make it obvious with their body language when they are open to physical contact. Based on how she is standing, or how she greets you, you can figure out if she is comfortable with you going in for the hug.  Signs she is interested:  She makes eye contact with you. She plays with her hair around you. Her hips or feet are pointed directly toward you. Her tone of voice is animated and bright when she talks to you.   Signs she is not interested:  She does not hold your gaze. Her body language is "closed" (crossed legs, folded arms, body turned away). Her tone of voice is flat when she talks to you. Resist the urge to dive in and hug her as quickly as possible.  Instead, take a deep breath and move in at a pace that allows her to decide whether or not she wants to hug you.  Make eye contact, move a little bit closer to her, then lift your arms and pull her in.  If you have read the signs incorrectly and she does not want to be hugged, it is essential that she has a second to back out before you make contact.  Otherwise, she will feel forced, and the situation will turn awkward. The upside is that slower movements are generally considered more romantic.  So if she does want you to hug her, a smooth and gentle approach will seem all the more intimate. The duration of your hug says a lot about what it means to you. Here is a basic guideline to follow:  The longer you hold on, the more intimate the hug is. Embraces longer than a few seconds are meant for...

Wait for the right moment. Try to figure out if she would like to be hugged. Approach her gently. Decide how long you are going to hold the hug. Release. Finish it off in a cute way. Learn about different hugging positions.


When you hurt someone, like forgetting a person’s birthday, express that you recognize what you’ve done and are concerned about their feelings. When deciding how you will apologize, think about the person to whom you’re apologizing. Who are they to you? What is the person like? What would that person find most meaningful? Let the answers to these questions guide you in creating your apology. One way to apologize and demonstrate you truly mean it is to spread your apology out over the course of several days or more. Here’s one way to do this. There are websites online that allow you to upload photos, which they then use to create a jigsaw puzzle for you of varying sizes. Choose a photo of the two of you based upon your relationship and the message you want to convey in your apology. Upload the photo and when you get the puzzle, write on the back of each piece expressing that you’re sorry and, if you choose, what the person means to you.  It doesn’t have to be sappy or sentimental; something funny might be best for the person whose birthday you forgot. When you’re done, mail one piece (or more) of the puzzle every day to the other person. Another way to spread out your apology is to create apology or “I’m Sorry” coupons or vouchers for services or activities that the other person can redeem at times of his or her choosing. Again, think about who the person is and what would be most meaningful when deciding what you’ll be giving. You can either make the coupons yourself using art supplies or your computer and printer or you can go to websites like givecoupons.com or spottedsparrow.com and have them printed for you. On the back, write what each coupon is “worth.” Making a public apology not only shows that you have humility (or simply don’t get embarrassed easily) but also that you’re willing to accept responsibility for and go the extra mile to make up for your lapse. If you don’t think the other person would be embarrassed by this approach, post an apology on his or her Facebook page and tweet an apology on his...

When you ignore workplace stress, it can make you less effective at your job. But sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between workplace stress and other issues. These are the signs of workplace stress:  Stomach problems Loss of interest in work Anxiety or depression Loss of sleep Fatigue Trouble in concentrating on official tasks Muscle tensions Frequent headaches Social withdrawals etc. You might not show all the stress signs, but you will surely identify with certain symptoms and when you figure them out, you can address them. If any of the following have occurred recently, you may be dealing with workplace stress:  Increased overtime due to layoffs Fear of being laid off from your job Pressure to always meet expectations with zero tolerance for mistakes No increase in job satisfaction but extensive pressure to exceed expectations Admitting that you are feeling really stressed out can help you to begin figuring out how to overcome this stress. Talk to your friends and family; find out if they have experienced similar feelings of stress, and how they dealt with that stress. Increased stress may interfere with your life outside of work. When you are constantly stressed, you may be distracted or may decrease the amount of time you spend with family and friends. Take some time to spend quality time with the people you love; you may find that this really helps to make you feel more grounded.  Stress can also adversely affect your health. Being really stressed can affect your sleeping patterns and lower your immunity. Make sure to get plenty of sleep, eat healthy meals, and exercise regularly. Yoga and Meditation are great forms of exercise that help reduce built up stress, both mentally and physically. Some people find that when they are stressed, they crave sweets. Steer clear of stress eating and make sure to eat balanced meals. A high-protein and low-sugar diet may help to combat the amount of sugar you intake when eating sweets.

When you interview, be proactive and ask for a menu to take with you. Study it on your own to become familiar with the food available. Chain restaurants have great training programs that guide you through the menu and kitchen;  bars and smaller places expect you to learn on your own. Punctuality is important for any job, especially one you've just started. Restaurants are particularly fast-paced during peak hours, however, and you'll make a good impression if you're ready to work on the dot or even a little in advance. Even if you have worked as a waitress before, you should pay attention to the details of your new job. Each restaurant does things slightly differently, and paying attention during training will let you do your job more smoothly. It also never hurts to be respectful to your boss and coworkers, of course, rather than blowing them off with phrases such as "I know this already." If you've never worked in a busy restaurant before, you could be surprised by how fast-paced and exhausting the work is. Do your best to keep up to the pace of the other waitstaff. As you grow more accustomed to the job, you'll have a somewhat easier time. At the beginning, you may need to push yourself. You'll start at the bottom of the totem pole, but you won't work your way up by complaining. Clean tables and work unpleasant hours if you are asked to, and remember that you'll have more choice once you're more established. Waiting tables can feel a little cutthroat, as some waitstaff will blame you personally if they think you contributed to a bad customer experience (and therefore a bad tip). Know that you'll receive less criticism once you learn the ropes, and try to smile and not let it get to you.  This is definitely not true of every restaurant. Don't be scared off from applying to a waiting job before you know the atmosphere of the establishment. Especially in the beginning, you want management and coworkers to know you are reliable. Once you know you can handle an extra shift, volunteer to cover a gap in the...

Learn the menu in advance. Show up to work early. Listen to experienced employees carefully. Keep up with the pace. Perform unpleasant tasks without complaining. Take criticisms in stride. Volunteer for extra shifts. Ask questions when you don't know how to do something.


When you introduce new guppies into a tank, they may carry bacteria and parasites along with them, which can infect other fish in the tank. The best solution is to keep them in a separate tank for at least 1 month to see whether they are carrying any pathogens. Sick fish should also be quarantined until they recover so they don’t infect their tank mates. If your fish’s body has white cotton or wool-like patches on its body or if white edges appear around the mouth, it is suffering from a fungal infection called ich. Fish with ich may also lose their appetites and rub their body against rocks or decorations in the tank. A disintegrating or shredding tail or fin (not due to nipping from another fish) is called rot and is a bacterial infection. If the fish’s scales or eyes protrude from its body, it is suffering from a bacterial infection called dropsy. Sometimes, fungus can grow in your tank and on your fish when the water temperature is too cold. Check the tank temperature and slowly increase the heat of the water, if necessary. You can also add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of marine salt per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water to treat fungal infections. Marine salt is available online and at aquarium stores. Visit your aquarium store or contact your veterinarian if one of your guppies has fin or tail rot, dropsy, or another bacterial infection. Explain the situation and ask for an antibiotic to treat your fish. Follow the instructions for administering the medicine carefully to ensure your fish will recover completely.

Quarantine new and sick fish. Identify fungal infection. Recognize bacterial infection. Treat fungal infections by raising the water temp or adding marine salt. Provide antibiotics for bacterial infections.


When you introduce yourself to a girl, let her know that you are trying to overcome being shy. Many girls find guys who are shy extremely attractive. Let your shyness be a way in and not something that keeps you out. Try one of these opening lines:  "There's so many people here, it's hard to find someone to talk to because I'm kinda shy." "Can I sit with you, I'm shy and just need a quiet place to relax." "I'm terrible at meeting new people, can we pretend we know each other so it isn't so awkward?" When you are having a conversation use the fact that you are shy as a way to poke fun at yourself.  "Being shy always makes me feel small, do I look little to you? "I would tell you a joke, but I'm too shy and always mess up the punch lines" "If I weren't shy it would be a lot easier to find out what you like" Sometimes having a friend by your side can make it much easier to approach a girl. Ask a friend you trust to help introduce you to new people and start conversations. Don't worry about what might happen in the future of your conversation; focus on the here and now. It is easier for the conversation to flow if you are concentrating on the current topic and not planning the future.

Be honest about your shyness. Make a joke about being shy. Bring a friend to be your wingman. Live in the moment.


When you kick a direct free kick, your opponents have to be at least ten yards away from you. When the referee gives you the okay to kick, the players in the opposing wall will start to inch towards you to get in position to block your shot. Have two of your teammates stand on either side of the wall to keep it from advancing. The opposing team will think twice about over-committing to your shot if there’s two people on either side of them that could get the ball. The opposing keeper might expect you to take your time to plan out your direct kick. If you immediately take the shot right when the referee blows the whistle, the goalie might not be prepared to react to it. This tactic works best for shorter direct free kicks and penalty kicks. If you have to kick from far away, the keeper will have more time to react.  A straight kick works best for this move as you want the ball to reach the net as quickly as possible.  You can also watch footage of the opposing keeper in previous games. See what kind of shots they have difficulty defending.

Stall the wall. Catch the keeper off guard.


When you know someone on a more personal level, you can often develop a better working relationship. Try to show an interest in your boss’s life outside of work. For example, if they have to leave early for a child’s event, you could say, “What position is Clara playing on the team this year?” Maintain boundaries by avoiding personal questions. For example, you don't need to say, "Are you and your husband planning to have more children?" But showing a basic interest is a great way to get your boss to warm up to you. You are part of your boss’s team, which means you should be working towards the same goals. If your boss’s number one priority is developing better customer service, make that your priority, too. Say things like, “It’s great that you have such a clear focus. How can I help achieve these goals?” Don’t say, “Don’t you think it would be better to focus on HR issues?” Let your boss know that you are on their side. Avoid gossiping about your boss with other team members. You never know who might repeat your words. You can also defend your boss’s plans if anyone else in the company tries to go over your boss’s head. Similarly, don't repeat gossip about others to your boss. That might make them think you aren't loyal to others.

When you know someone well, you learn their quirks: how well they like their burgers cooked, what they're allergic to, that they can't stand the texture of artichokes or hearts of palm. When you can actually order for someone, you show your love by actively paying attention to their likes and dislikes and communicating that you want to treat them well. For a lot of animal lovers, the best way to show your love for them is to acknowledge their pet. By bringing something for Fido, you let them know that you can see how important he is to them and for that reason, he's important enough to you to include on your gift list. Schedule a couples' massage. Relax in a sauna. Spend a day at the spa with your Valentine, and they're sure to come away feeling seriously loved. This gesture is classic, but that just makes it a clearer statement. If you know what their favorite flowers are, that's great, but for many people, the gesture alone says it all.

When you leave the hospital, you'll be going home without a baby. You need to be emotionally prepared for this reality.  What you decide to do with the baby supplies is up to you. Many parents choose to keep supplies in and out-of-sight place, like an attic or storage room. Others want to donate or discard items. It can be helpful to have a friend or family member take down the nursery and other supplies before you get home.  Many women report they can hear their baby crying for the first few months. This is normal, but if it is troubling for you, talk to a doctor or therapist. After the loss of a baby, you'll have a follow up medical exam in six to eight weeks. This is to make sure your body is recovering physically. Discuss any questions or concerns you have with your doctor at this exam. Many people opt not to try for a natural birth again after losing a baby. However, if you'd like to try for another child talk to your doctor, partner, friends, and family members before making the decision.  Certain preexisting conditions, such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and other medical problems, can increase the likelihood of stillbirth. Making sure these conditions are managed ahead of time can help you lessen the likelihood of the problem reoccurring. Talk to your doctor about any health conditions that might compromise the health of your baby and how to manage them before undergoing another pregnancy.  Emotionally, make sure you're ready for another baby. Pregnancy might be more stressful after a loss and you may expect this baby to be similar to the one that died. Talk to a therapist before attempting to get pregnant again to make sure you're mentally ready to handle the stress of a second pregnancy.

Prepare emotionally for a home without a baby. Go to regular checkups after the loss. Take precautions if you decide to try for another baby.


When you like a girl, being around them will make you feel happy and elated. Think about how you feel when you’re around them and pay attention to your emotions. If you don’t feel any happiness or excitement when you see them, you may not like them. When you like someone there will be more activity in the dopamine-rich areas of your brain that control feelings of pleasure and happiness. If you find yourself daydreaming about the girl and constantly wondering what they’re doing, it’s a strong sign that you like them. Pay attention to what you’re thinking about throughout the day and count the number of times that you think of them. If you think about the girl more than 3-4 times per day, there’s a good chance you like her. When you like a girl, you’ll treat her nicer than other people around you. You may feel compelled to pay for her meals or do favors for her. If you catch yourself paying close attention to how she feels and go out of your way to make her day more pleasant, it’s a sign that you like her.  For instance, you might let them cut you in the lunch line or always offer help with their classwork. You may also go out of your way to be more polite to them than others. If you like a girl, you’ll want important people in your life to also like them. If you’re always asking your friends or family members about their opinion of the girl and want them to accept her, there’s a good chance that you like her.  If your friends or family don't like her, it should bother you if you like her. If you could care less how others feel about the girl, there’s a good chance you don’t like them. If you like the girl, you'll feel happy and proud whenever the girl success in something. Their success and victories will also make you feel good, even if you're not participating in what they are doing. If you don’t feel anything or find yourself feeling envious, it’s a sign that you don’t like them. For instance, you might find yourself rooting them on during competitions or feel good when they do well on tests and quizzes.

Decide if being around them makes you feel good. Determine if you’re always thinking about them when you’re apart. Consider if you’re nicer to her than other people. Think about how you want your family and friends to think about them. Pay attention to the way you feel when the girl succeeds.


When you like someone, it's easy to overthink what you are going to say to him. If you type out a long message and ask him out in the middle of it, he may miss your question. Keep the message short and to the point. Send a text that only includes you asking him out.  Don't ramble by saying, “I've been thinking about what I could do this weekend because I'm getting bored being home all the time. Would you want to go out? I know there isn't that much to do but I thought that we could have fun together. Anyway, I'm not even sure….” You might want to ask out a guy from school. A teenage guy is more likely to respond to a simple text than to one where you ramble a lot. Text him something like, “Would you want to go out this weekend?” If you want to ask out a coworker, say, “We never get much time to talk one-on-one at work. Would you want to grab a drink when we clock out tomorrow?” You may be tempted to beat around the bush, or mention going out in a vague way that he could miss. When you text him, say that you want to go out with him and ask him if he would be interested in doing that. It's important that he knows you are asking him out.  For example, don't say, “I haven't dated much recently and you seem like you haven't either. Maybe we would be able to do something together. That might be pretty cool.” Say, “Are you interested in going out with me?” This is especially important when you are asking a guy out who you are already friends with. It's important to make sure they know you want to go out romantically. Say, “I know we hang out a lot, but would you want to go to Orion's party with me as my date?” When you ask someone out, it's not all that effective to say, “Do you want to go out sometime?” There is no specific timeline or activity involved. Think of something cool you could do together and ask him to do that. Also offer a couple of times that would work well for you.  For example, tell him about a party you are going to over the weekend and ask if he wants to go with you. Ask him if he wants to try...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Keep your text simple. Ask him out directly. Ask him out to do something specific. Use proper grammar and full sentences.


When you like someone, it’s important to show interest in the things that are important to that person. When your crush tells you a story or gives their opinion, use your facial expressions to demonstrate that you’re paying attention.  Listening attentively will make it easier to remember certain details. You can bring these details up in later conversations. Even if you are listening to every word, you have to look like you are listening. If you appear distracted, they may think that you don't care. Be sure to stay focused on your crush’s eyes and face whenever the two of you chat. This will let them know you’re engaged in your interactions with them. This could also act as a subtle way to show them that you like them. Avoid making your eye contact creepy. Allow yourself to blink, and don’t be so worried about maintaining eye contact that you never look away from your crush’s face. When you pass them in the hallway or have a casual conversation by your lockers, smile. This will light up your face and show that you’re a positive and confident person. This could also make them enjoy your interactions more and cause them to look forward to seeing you each day. Keep your smile natural and genuine. You don't want to smile non-stop like a Barbie doll. This will might make you seem fake, insincere, or creepy.

Listen attentively by tilting your head or nodding. Maintain eye contact while you talk to your crush. Smile when you chat with with your crush.


When you listen to music, your heart actually tries to sync up with the beat. The faster the rhythm, the more excited your nervous system becomes. Experiment with different rhythms until you find the one that gives you a positive boost (without causing you to feel overly excited or anxious). Some songs with a good beat include:  "Dare" by Gorillaz. "Kids" by MGMT. "Sleepyhead" by Passion Pit. The tone of music also has a big effect on your bodily response to it. In general, music played in a major key communicates happy emotions, while music played in a minor key communicates sadness. When you listen to music with happy sounds, you are more likely to feel an emotional boost. However, some people can even feel happy after listening to sad music. A few songs with a good tone include:  Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." Rusted Root's "Send Me on My Way." Peter Bjorn & John's "Nothing to Worry About." Just like rhythm and tone, the lyrics you hear can have an effect on your emotions. Try listening to music with a motivational message or a good story. Due to the close link between music and mood, listening to music with a positive message can help to shape the course of your day. Try listening to an uplifting song first thing in the morning so that you are ready to face the day. Songs with a positive message include:  Katy Perry's "Roar." Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness." Binaural Beat Technology (BBT) is a type of music that alternates different sounds to create new tones, and some people find that BBT can help to calm anxiety and even reduce pain.Try listening to some binaural beats music the next time you are feeling anxious or stressed and see if it helps you. Consider creating a “feel good” playlist to have on hand. Select upbeat songs that have a good rhythm, a good tone, and a good message. Be sure to select some of your old favorites as well. Then simply press play whenever your mood needs a quick boost.

When you log in to your Skype account, contacts that are currently online and available will have a green checkmark next to their username in the contacts list. Windows versions of Skype typically default to showing all your contacts upon login. Find the list along the left side of the Skype window, in a sidebar, with your online contacts automatically at the top of this list. On Skype for Mac, your view upon login depends on the screen you were showing when you last logged out. To view your contacts, click "Contacts" along the left sidebar. Online contacts who are available to chat will have both a green checkmark and a status which reads "Online" next to their name. Skype also lets you adjust your view of your contacts list. You can view all your contacts at once ("All") or only those who are currently online ("Online"). If you've linked other accounts or address books (e.g. Facebook) these will also appear as viewing options. On Skype for Windows access these options by looking for a small dropdown menu (by default set to "All") under your Contacts menu but above the actual list of names.  On Mac versions, adjusting the list is accomplished by choosing one of the same options along the top of the main window. Contacts in Skype may also be logged in but inactive. This is indicated by a yellow clock icon. They will be included in online lists and are reachable, however the icon indicates that they have been inactive on Skype for an extended period of time. Skype offers a simple way to search for by linking with your Facebook account. On the home screen of the application just click "find Facebook friends" and then sign into your account. This connects your two accounts and will make suggestions for Facebook friends who also have Skype accounts.  On some Windows versions, this option is accessible via the contacts dropdown by clicking "Facebook" After recommendations are made, you still must make a request and have it accepted before they are added to your contact list and before you can see if they are...

When you look at piano sheet music, you will see that there are two staffs which are attached at the beginning of each line and at the measures. These two lines indicate which hand plays which notes. The upper staff indicates the notes played with the right hand and the lower staff indicates which notes are played with the left. Each key, both white and black, represents a particular pitch and like the repeated pattern of the keys, the pitches also repeat. Look at your piano and you will see two black keys close together and then three black keys close together. Starting with the first of the two keys and moving to the very next key (including white notes) the pitches are: C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, and C. The bolded text indicates a black key. Labeling the keys while you learn may be helpful. You may see pedals at your feet if using a proper piano, rather than a keyboard. The left pedal is called the “soft” pedal, the middle pedal is called the “sostenuto” pedal, and the right pedal is called the “sustain” or “damper” pedal. When to use the most common pedal, the sustain pedal, is indicated on the sheet music: The sustain pedal should be pressed when the word “Ped.” is written below a note and released when you see a star. Alternatively, you may see horizontal, vertical, or angled lines together. A horizontal line means to press the pedal, an angle means a brief release, and a vertical line means to release the pedal. Reading music is just like reading a language. Think of the staff as the sentence and the notes as the letters. Put your knowledge of the staff together with your knowledge of the notes and begin to play the music that you see on the page. You won’t be very good at first but you will get better and better as you get more experience. When first learning to play piano, play slowly. Over time you hands will get used to the movements and it will be easier to play without looking at your hands constantly. Play songs very slowly until you are comfortable and ready to speed...

Recognize left hand and right hand lines. Recognize the pitches on your piano. Use the pedals when indicated. Read the lines of music. Go slowly. Practice.


When you love someone, the other things in your life become a little less important in your mind. If you love a guy, you may find yourself thinking about him often — even when you don't really want to. If he's the first thing on your mind when you wake up, and the last thing you think of before you go to sleep, this is a sign that you have serious feelings about him. However, infatuation (puppy love) can have the same effect. Since just thinking about someone often isn't enough to say whether you love that person, use the other steps below to help make your decision. The person you love shouldn't be someone you're shy around. Love means that you're extra-comfortable around this guy — you like hanging out with him because he makes you feel like you can be yourself. On the other hand, if this guy still makes you feel nervous, antsy, or insecure, your relationship may not have made it to "love" territory yet. If you still get the butterflies around this guy, don't worry. You can eventually love him — you just need to spend more time together and grow more confident around each other. People who love each other tend to enjoy thinking about the rich, rewarding time they've already spent together. If you sit down and think of the things you've done together, do you find yourself feeling warm, happy, or nostalgic emotions? If so, you may have a good foundation for love. If you don't feel an attachment to your memories together, you may not be there yet. If you don't have any memories together, you probably haven't spent enough time with this guy for love to develop. It's natural to have some fantasies of the future when you have a crush — running off together to a tropical retreat, exploring the world, etc. However, when you love someone, your fantasies tend to be a little more realistic. You may find yourself thinking things like, "I wonder if we can live together when we finish school?", "I wonder whether we could get a dog together," and so on. If so, this can be a sign that you are excited for a realistic future...

See how often you think about him. Judge how badly you want to be around him. See whether you find yourself thinking about shared memories. Do you think realistically about your future together?


When you make a commitment to someone, you have to be willing to accept their limitations as well as their good qualities. While you might find it irritating that your partner is awkward at parties or doesn’t know how to fry an egg, don’t commit to a relationship expecting these things to change. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but if your expectations don’t match reality, you’re likely to end up disappointed.  Trying to change your partner will result in a lot of fighting. You might even end up hurting his or her self-esteem. Realize that love means accepting a person for who he or she is, and getting the same acceptance in return. Instead of focusing on what you wish would change, be grateful you found someone who accepts ‘’your’’ flaws, too. Research shows that people who believe that romantic love resembles the Cinderella story have a harder time facing the reality of relationships. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Happiness isn't a goal, it's a by-product." If you expect to find a lover that will fill you with overwhelming ebullience every time you gaze in their eyes, odds are pretty high that you will be disappointed. Talk to your partner about what makes you happy and learn what makes your partner happy as well.  Realize that the Disneyfied version of life is fun to watch in the movies, but it doesn’t bear much resemblance to real life. Real life stretches past the glorious wedding day and into a future filled with stress and hardships to balance out the bliss. Relationships can feel magical. However, they don't actually operate on magic and serendipity, but on hard work, especially after the first few years. That initial flame might die down a little after a few years of washing each other’s dirty dishes, but that doesn’t mean it has to completely go out. Research shows that surprising each other by picking up new hobbies, trying new things together, and just generally embracing newness helps a couple stay interested in one another. When you surprise each other, you get a taste of those butterflies...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Love the whole person, flaws and all. Drop the fairy tale mentality. Keep the passion alive by surprising each other. Be willing to put in effort to keep the relationship strong. Make sure you're compatible. Don't get addicted to the past. Don’t depend on a partner for happiness.


When you make people feel stupid, that makes them shut down and tends to quickly lead an argument nowhere. Make them feel smart and you'll have an easier time turning the argument in your favor. Evidence from reliable sources that specifically supports and deals with what you're arguing about can be one of the easiest ways to win an argument. You should also tailor the type of evidence you use to what kind of person they are, using more logical or more emotional evidence based on what you think they'll respond to best. Pointing out fallacies in their logic and politely explaining why that logic is bad is a good way to start to change someone's mind. Learning to recognize logical fallacies can be challenging but here are a few common ones:  Watch out for arguments with incorrectly assume that correlation means causation. For example, rates of autism diagnosis increased with the usage of cell phones. Therefore, autism is caused by cellphone usage. Post-hoc fallacies are similar, but are based on the idea that because A preceded B, B was caused by A. An Argument from Silence fallacy is the idea that because there is no evidence for something, it must not exist. For example, God/germs/evolution/aliens do not exist because we have never physically witnessed them. Non-Sequiturs are when the conclusion of an argument is unrelated to its premise. For example, the argument that we can't pay teachers more because policemen and firefighters do not make that much money. People like to think of themselves as the main character in their life story. Keep them thinking this and charm them into changing their views by carefully tailoring how you talk about the issues. For example, "I know you really, really want to help people. You're one of the most generous people that I know. But if you really wanted to help people, you wouldn't donate to a charity that misuses their money like that. Don't you want to be sure that your money is directly saving lives?" When you argue, avoid language like "you" and "me". Instead, use words...

Make them feel smart. Use evidence tailored to the argument and audience. Look for logical fallacies. Paint them as the hero or victim. Curate your language. Know when to stop.


When you meet the seller to see the unit, be sure to do a thorough inspection of the shipping container. This way, you can ensure it is exactly as described online and there aren’t any dealbreakers. Go around the outside and inside of the shipping container looking for imperfections or inconsistencies. To check this, open the door completely and shut the door securely. You want the door to completely seal without letting any air in. If you have any problems doing this, the lining of the seal may be messed up and need repair. This is especially important if you want to convert the container into a home or office space.  This may not be a dealbreaker for you, but it's something to consider when totaling your expenses. You can also open and close the door from the inside to ensure it seals right from both directions. Do a surface inspection around the entirety of the container, and in particular, check for rust around the door frame and top of the unit, as this is where water may be able to get in. Rusty spots often signal weak metal, which can result in holes over time. Choose a shipping container with minimal rust if you can. If you want your unit to be as waterproof as possible, choose a unit with little rust. Go inside the shipping container and close the door behind you. Look around all of the walls and along the ceiling for any sign of light peeking through. Light can only get through from a hole in the container, and if light can get through, so can water.  If you find substantial holes in the unit, you’ll have to patch them before you convert the container. If there are a few small holes, that’s an easy fix with some putty or caulking. If you find many holes or a few large spots, you may want to reconsider this storage unit.

Meet with the seller to inspect the container’s condition. Check door seals and handles to make sure they are well intact. Look for any surface rust around the container. Inspect the inside of your shipping container for any signs of light.


When you meet with your veterinarian you will need to provide accurate information about your dog's injuries. By giving your veterinarian this information, they will be able to start treating your dog more quickly and efficiently.  Tell your veterinarian exactly how and when your dog fell. Inform your veterinarian about any signs of injury that you have noticed. Let your veterinarian know about any first aid you have administered. Tell your veterinarian about any past injuries or surgeries that your dog may have had. Be ready to provide basic information about your dog including age, current medications, or other health issues. Your veterinarian will likely perform some diagnostic tests and will administer certain medical techniques to treat your dog's injuries. Review some of the following possible tests and treatments that your veterinarian may perform.  A basic physical exam will let your veterinarian learn of any surface injuries as well as the overall condition of your dog. Orthopedic examinations will check for any injuries to the bones, joints, muscles, or affected range of movement in your dog. This examination may include an x-ray. Neurological examinations will be ordered if your dog has hit its head during the fall. If your dog is walking oddly or seemingly unaware, this test can help determine if your dog's nervous system was damaged. After your dog has received initial emergency treatment and has been cleared to go home with you, your veterinarian will likely give you home-care instructions. These instructions must be accurately followed to ensure that your dog will have a quick and full recovery.  If your dog is given medications, keep up with the schedule. Make sure your dog is consuming them completely if administered orally. Keep up with changing any bandages that your dog may need. You may need to apply ice or heat packs to your dog's injuries. Make sure your dog rests and keep activities to a minimum while injuries heal.

When you mention a movie in text, you typically want to follow that mention with a parenthetical citation. Use the standard APA author-date format, except that for movies the producers and directors are considered the authors.  For example: "(Magness, Siegal-Magness, & Daniels, 2009)." Do not include the words producer or director after the names in parenthetical in-text citations. After the first in-text citation, you need only list the first name followed by the Latin abbreviation "et al" and the year of production. An exception is if there are only 2 producers or directors; in this case, list them each time. Also, if the movie has more than 6 producers and directors, only list the first one followed by "et al" for every citation. For example: "(Magness, et al, 2009)." If you want to direct your reader to a specific scene or part of the movie, follow the year of production with a time stamp or range of time stamps.  For example: "(Magness, Siegal-Magness, & Daniels, 2009, 1:30:00)." Reflect the format shown in the movie itself, putting zeroes in places where necessary. For example, if a movie's time is reflected in hours, minutes, and seconds, and you're citing something that occurred at the 30-minute mark, you would need a zero for the hours: 0:30:00. You'll have to pause the movie to identify the time when the part you're citing occurs. If you watched the film in a theater, you won't be able to do this, so take notes as best you can. By writing down the time, you can calculate the time stamp with reference to the time the movie started. You already have a full citation for the movie in your references. If you include enough information in the text that your reader can correctly identify the movie's full citation in your reference list, there's no need for a parenthetical in-text citation.  Since your citations start with the producer's and director's names, this generally means you need a parenthetical citation unless you've mentioned the name in your text. For example, the sentence "Hitchcock's film...

Provide the last name of producers and directors with the year of production. Use the "et al" abbreviation in subsequent in-text citations. Use a time-stamp to locate specific information. Omit the in-text citation where unnecessary.


When you move, you will need to have certain official documents with you in order to gain entry to Canada.  You'll need:  A Canadian immigrant visa and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for each family member traveling with you A valid passport or other travel document for each family member traveling with you Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value You will need to secure a place to live before you make your move to Canada. Find a place to live that is well within your income level. Keep in mind that you will have many other costs associated with your move to Canada, so you will need to ensure that you have money left over each month after paying your rent.  If possible, visit a month or two before you move so that you can look at potential homes for yourself. If you cannot find a permanent place to live before you leave, then you may want to consider staying in a hotel until you can secure a place to live. Although Canada offers free health insurance to residents and citizens, you will need to purchase private health insurance to ensure coverage for up to three months after you first arrive in Canada. The providers will vary depending on your province. If you are a refugee coming to Canada, then you may be protected by the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) and not need to purchase private insurance. All others will have to secure private health insurance until they receive a government health insurance card. Good communication skills will help you to thrive in your new home. If either English or French is not your first language, then you will need to invest some time and energy into improving your language skills. Look for a class that you can take on weekends or evenings to help you get a handle on the language.  In some provinces, French is more prominent than English.

When you need to build a factor tree for a particular number, you need to start by writing that number at the top of the paper. This will be the tip of your tree.  Prepare the tree for its factors by drawing two downward diagonal lines beneath the number. One should point left and the other should point right. Alternatively, you could place the number at the bottom of the tree and draw its factor branches up and above it. This method is far less common, however.  Example: Make a factor tree for the number 315.  .....315 ...../...\ Pick any pair of factors for the number you're working with. To qualify as a pair of factors, the product of the two numbers must equal your original number when multiplied together.  These factors will form the first branches of your factor tree. You can pick any two factors. The end result will be the same no matter which ones you start with. Note that if there are no factors that equal the original number when multiplied together, other than that number and the number “1,” the number is considered a prime number and cannot be made into a factor tree.  Example:  .....315 ...../...\ ...5....63 Break down your first two factors into their own sets of two factors apiece.  As before, two numbers can only be considered factors if they equal the current value when multiplied together. Do not break down prime numbers any further.  Example:  .....315 ...../...\ ...5....63 ........./  \ .......7...9 You will need to break down each number as far as possible until you separate it into nothing but prime numbers. A prime number is a number that has no factors other than itself and the number “1.”  Continue as often as needed, creating as many branches as necessary in the process. Note that there should be no “1” anywhere in your tree.  Example:  .....315 ...../...\ ...5....63 ........./..\ .......7...9 .........../..\ ..........3....3 Since the prime numbers might be scattered throughout various levels of the factor tree, you should identify each one to make them easier to spot. Do so by...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Write the number at the top of your paper. Find a pair of factors. Break down each set into its own factors. Repeat until you reach nothing but prime numbers. Identify all of the prime numbers. Write out the prime factor in equation form. Check your work.


When you need to change the written form of a number to its standard form, you need to take the written words and change them into their numerical equivalents.  Example: Rewrite "seven thousand four hundred thirty eight" in standard form. In this example, "seven thousand four hundred thirty eight" is provided in written form (a.k.a. its "word name"). Change it so that it will be in numerical form. Take another look at the number in your problem. Separate out each different place value and write the place values separately in numerical form, separated by plus signs.  Note that the form you will produce in this step is actually known as a value's "expanded form." As you get comfortable with the process, you might be able to skip this step and move directly onto the next one.  Example: In this problem, the separate place values are: "seven thousand," "four hundred," "thirty," and "eight."  "Seven thousand" = 7000 "Four hundred" = 400 "Thirty" = 30 "Eight" = 8 In expanded form, the value is: 7000 + 400 + 30 + 8 To find the standard form of your number, you simply need to add together all of the different place value pieces.  Example: 7000 + 400 + 30 + 8 = 7438 You should now have your final answer and the standard form of your number.  Example: The standard form of "seven thousand four hundred thirty eight" is 7438.

When you notice that your child is in pain, contact your pediatrician right away. He or she will be able to diagnose the ear infection and prescribe medication that will help your child to overcome the infection. Your pediatrician will most likely prescribe antibiotics, and possibly some pain medication. Follow the doctor’s orders when giving your child the medication. Trust your instincts when it comes to bringing your child to the doctor. Because children have a hard time expressing what they are feeling, it is up to you to figure out when your child needs a doctor. Trust your instincts; if your baby does not look or act as if she feels well, you should consider taking her to the doctor. Many times, pain relievers will relax your child so that she will fall asleep.  Sometimes the pain relievers will have something in them that may even help your child to become sleepy. If this is the case, your baby may be sleepy for a couple of days as the medication works its way through her system. Ear infections can make it hard to lie down. A baby with an ear infection may be more comfortable being held. She may need to be propped up on a pillow or have a wedge placed under her crib mattress so that she is not lying down in a completely flat position. If your child’s ears have fluid in them from the infection, then lying flat on her back will cause pressure that feels like all the air has just been sucked out of the room. Propping your child up will help the Eustachian tubes in her ears to clear out, and it will relieve some of the pressure. Ear infections may cause pain and/or discomfort when eating or drinking so it may sound strange to recommend giving your child a drink. However, drinking a few sips of water or juice can help to stimulate the muscles in and near the Eustachian tubes in your child’s ears. When these muscles are stimulated, they can clear the fluid out of your child’s ears more efficiently. That means that the tubes in your child’s ears can open and begin to clear; this will help to reduce your...

When you notice yourself thinking out loud in an inappropriate situation, stop and concentrate on using your inner monologue. Instead of vocalizing what you are working on, try "saying it" in your head. With some practice, over time you will be less reliant on thinking out loud and more comfortable using your inner monologue. For those with ADHD or impulse control, this may be more difficult. Although you may not necessarily be able to stop thinking out loud, you can dictate what you say. If you are prone to doing too much processing out loud in meeting or in class, try to put some of your thinking out loud onto paper. Take notes or draw pictures to help you connect your ideas. Write down your questions before you ask them. Get out of the habit of talking or raising your hand without planning. If you are going to contribute to the discussion, take a moment to compose your question or comment before you open your mouth. . If you tend to interrupt, change the subject, or ask too many questions, you may just need to learn another way to show engagement while in conversation. Try making eye contact with the person you are talking with. Nod to show you are listening. Reflect back to them to check that you are understanding what they are saying.  For instance, if they say, "I just don't know why Matthew always texts me and asks me favors: he's constantly flaking and he doesn't ever ask me about my life," you might say, "You feel like Matthew isn't really being a friend to you, but he's asking you to do the work of a friend for him." If you lose track of what someone is saying, ask them a question.

When you nurse a baby rabbit, make sure that you feed them the proper amount of times throughout the day. Only feeding them once or twice a day can make them too hungry, so they may overeat when they get access to food.  Feed the bunny multiple times throughout the day. When they are first born, feed them small meals every couple of hours while you are awake. Once they are into their second week, reduce that to around every three to four hours while you are awake. By the time they are at their fourth week, you may be able to spread out the feedings again. Check with a vet or a rabbit expert to make sure that you feed the bunny at the correct frequency and in the correct amount for the rabbit's age. You may need to feed the bunnies less. It sometimes depends on the bunny or the breed. As long as the babies are gaining weight steadily, you are probably fine. When you feed the bunny, don’t feed them more than they want. You may think they need to keep eating, but the bunny will let you know when they are full. Watch the cues from the bunny. If they stop eagerly trying to get the formula, it’s time to stop.  Watch the bunny’s tummy. Once it starts to get slightly rounded in shape, you can stop. They’ve had enough for now. If they start crying, it is time to feed them again. Each time you feed your bunny, you want to make sure you are feeding them the right amount. While watching the cues of the bunny is the best way, you can also have a general idea of the amount of formula needed each day, spread out over your feedings. Each week, you should increase how much you feed the bunnies. Newborns should get around four to five cc of formula. In week two, you should feed them around 10 to 15 cc. In week three, shoot for 15 to 30 cc, and after that, give 30 cc.

When you open the Google Photos app, you’ll see a list of your photos. Otherwise, you won’t be able to group by face.  Tap the ☰ menu and select “Settings.” Make sure the “Face Grouping” switch is in the On position. (You can turn this off at any time) Tap the back arrow to return to Photos. The search menu will expand, containing a row of several small face photos. If you don’t see any faces, this feature is unavailable in your country. Now you’ll see all the faces identified by Google in your photos. Don’t panic if you see two photos of the same person in this list—you’ll be able to group them later. A new screen will appear, with that person’s face at the top and the words “Who is this?” just beneath. ” A text box will appear, with a “New name” box as well as contacts from which to choose. Because labels are just to help you search your photos, nobody will see this name except you. The name will now be applied as that face’s label. If you saw more than one face icon for this person, group them all by assigning them the same label. You’ll see the face icons appear again. You’ll see the “Who’s This?” box at the top left corner of the screen again. The label and an icon of that person’s face will appear in the search results. A pop-up will appear, asking “Are these the same person?” Both faces (of the same person) will appear just beneath these words. ” Now both faces are assigned to the same label, meaning that when you type that label, photos Google associates with both face icons will appear in the search results. You may have to repeat this process several times for the same person.

When you open the hood or bonnet of your car, you should see a bundle of 4-8 wires leading to different points on the engine compartment. The spark plugs are located at the engine end of these wires, under the plug covers that attach them.  On a 4-cylinder engine, spark plugs will be located on the top or side of the engine in a row. On an inline 6-cylinder, they are located on the top or side of the engine head. On V6 and V8-cylinder engines, plugs should be separated evenly on each side of the engine. Some cars have engine covers you'll have to remove to see the spark plug wires, tracing them back to find the plugs themselves. You should always check your owner's manual and look up where your spark plugs are, how many you have, the correct "gap" and the size socket needed to remove them. You should also number the corresponding leads to the cylinder so as not to confuse which lead goes where when replacing with new plugs.  At this point, it is good practice to inspect the leads for any damage or cracks as replacement leads may also be required. If you've been running the car for a while, the plugs and the entire engine and exhaust system manifold can get extremely hot. Only remove them when the engine is cool enough to touch. In the mean time, assemble your tools while you wait for your engine to cool. To change your spark plugs, you'll need:  A ratchet socket drive wrench An extension bar Spark plug socket, usually included in most ratchet socket sets A spark gap gauge or feeler gauge, available at any auto parts store This number should be a specific measurement anywhere between .028-.060 inch, with a bit of wiggle room depending on your particular set of plugs and your car. These days, most plugs come preset according to the model number of the plug and their application, but it is wise to double check. Refer to your owner's manual to find out the optimum distance for your spark plug gap and use a gap checker or feeler gauge to check the distance.  If the distance of the spark plug gap is higher than it...

When you place a lacrosse ball into the net of your stick, it should not sink completely below the uppermost plastic rim of the pocket. If the pocket is too deep, it will be unfairly easy for you to keep the ball in your net, and your stick will violate game regulations. In a game situation, a referee will not hesitate to penalize you for a non-regulation pocket—so make a habit of checking your stick before you play. If your pocket is too deep, you can untie and adjust the strings.  For men's lacrosse: Make sure that the pocket is not too shallow. When a ball is in your pocket and you hold the stick perfectly horizontally, the ball should not be visible above the rim of the head. If the pocket is too shallow, you will not be able to control the ball when you cradle, pass, and shoot. For women's lacrosse: As opposed to men's lacrosse, no pocket is allowed. The pocket of the ball must protrude from the top of the wooden or plastic rim when you hold the stick horizontally. This shallow pocket rule makes it easier for other players to dislodge the ball from your control—and it also means that you will need to cradle differently to keep your ball in the stick. Untie the knots that protrude from the head where it meets the shaft. Pull the strings slightly further from the head of the stick, then retie the knots so that the pocket is shallower.  Ask a coach or a teammate for help. Be aware that you may need to adjust and readjust the pocket several times until it feels right.

Make sure that your pocket is deep, but not illegal. Adjust your pocket.


When you plant your seeds depends on what you plan to use the oats for. If you're growing oats for food, plant them in the spring so you have a summer harvest. If you're growing oats for ground cover, plant your seeds in the early spring for green manure and plant them in the fall if you’re hoping to get a winter-killed ground cover. It’s best to plant your seeds in evenly spaced rows. Within the row, drop a seed onto the top of the soil every 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm). Continue doing this until you’ve filled the planting area completely. After you’ve dropped all of your oat seeds onto the soil, rake over the soil to smooth it out. The seeds need to be planted less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the surface, and walking across them should allow this to happen.  If your soil has a high clay content, avoid walking over it so it doesn't get too compacted. Don't walk over your soil when it's wet. If your soil is wet or easily compacted, you can lay a wooden board over it and walk across the board instead of walking directly on the soil. Stick your fingers about 1 inch (2.5 cm) or so into the soil as often as possible to make sure that it doesn’t feel dry. When it does feel dry, water the oats to encourage them to thrive. Although weeding the area before you plant the oat seeds is beneficial and necessary, you’ll need to continue doing it if you want your oats to thrive. When you water your oats, check for weeds and remove any that have popped up.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Plant the seeds during spring or fall. Lay the oat seeds 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) apart in rows. Walk over each row to push the seeds down. Keep the soil continuously moist. Weed the area once your oats start growing.


When you pull a catfish out of the water, make sure you wear gloves. When frightened, catfish will squirm. You can easily get cut by a catfish's fin without proper protection. How you hold a catfish is important for safety. When removing the catfish from your line, wrap your hand around the fish behind the dorsal fin. The dorsal fin is the fin on top of a fish. Keep your fingers behind the gills and fins on the fish's side. You can use pliers to more easily remove the hook from a catfish. It's important you kill a catfish humanely shortly after capture. There are two main ways to kill a fish: stunning or spiking.  To stun a fish, lay a forceful blow to its head using a blunt instrument. Aim above the eyes as this is where the brain is located. Occasionally, fish will not die on the first blow and may only be unconscious. It's a good idea to do a second blow, just to be safe. If you have an ice pick or screwdriver handy, you can spike the fish. To do this, place the spike above the fish's eyes. Then, move the spike from side to side as this will destroy a fish's brain. Once the catfish is dead, immediately store it in ice. You should always bring a cooler containing ice with you when fishing for catfish. This will preserve the fish's freshness and flavor. You want to make sure your catfish are clean before cooking and eating them. To do so, you'll need to soak them overnight with salt and vinegar.  Add enough water to a pot to cover your catfish. Then, add 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Refrigerate the pot overnight. Rinse the fish under cool water in the morning before cooking it.

When you pull the mascara wand out of the tube, it will be loaded with product. If you apply it to your lashes right away, your lashes may look clumpy. Instead, wipe the wand off on a tissue or napkin to remove the excess mascara. If you don’t have a tissue handy, try wiping the wand off on the side of the tube’s opening. When you’re ready to apply the mascara, start by holding the brush right at the root of your lashes. Gently wiggle it back and forth to ensure that you apply a generous coat at the root. Make sure to wiggle the brush left to right rather than up and down for the best looking lashes. After you’ve applied mascara to the base of your lashes, move the wand in a zigzag motion from the roots to the tips of your lashes. This technique creates a more fluttery look for your lashes. For your lower lashes, hold the wand vertically so you can coat each lash individually. Once you’ve applied the first coat of mascara, allow your lashes to dry for 3 to 5 seconds. Next, take a clean lash comb and run through your lashes to remove any clumps and fan out your lashes. If you don’t have a lash brush or comb, you can use a clean toothbrush or disposable spoolie to comb through your lashes. If your lashes don’t appear as long or thick as you’d like after your first coat of mascara, apply additional coats. Keep in mind that the more mascara you add, the more likely your lashes are to clump so don’t overload on mascara. Be sure to comb your lashes after each coat of mascara that you apply to avoid clumps.

When you purchase your cable, there should be a label that tells you the depth of the armor. Use the dial on the side or top of your cutters to adjust them to the correct depth. It's best to measure a few times to make sure you're absolutely correct. Then use a permanent marker to mark the armor at the correct length. This mark shows you where you should begin using the cable cutters. This way, you'll have about 6 in (15 cm) of exposed wire to feed into the junction box. Under the blade of the cable cutters, you'll see an open space that should be about the width of the cable. This is where you insert the cable so that the blade can come down and cut it. The handle is right where the blade will come down inside the cable guide. Line up the mark that's 6 in (15 cm) from your measurement mark with the handle of the cutters. Some blade cutters will have small arrows above the cable guide to show you where to line up your mark. If your cutters have this arrow, line up your mark using it. At the bottom of the cutters, you'll see a thumbscrew that you can rotate up into the cable guide. Once your cable is in the cable guide and lined up, turn the screw to the right until it pushes up against the bottom of the cable and secures it in the guide. If you have the depth of your cable cutter properly set, you'll only need 1 revolution of the handle to cut through the armor. Rotate the handle slowly, completing 1 rotation. Once you've cut through the cable, unscrew the bottom thumbscrew until the cable is loose in the cable guide. Then remove the cable from the cutters. When you take the cable out of the cutters, the armor to the right of where you made the cut should be loose. Slide this armor off of the cable, exposing about 6 in (15 cm) of wire for you to feed into your junction box.

When you put something down on paper, it suddenly feels more real and solid. Putting your goals into words in your diary allows you to focus more easily on those goals, and often makes them feel more achievable.  Not all goals have to be lofty ones. You can use your diary for goals both big and small, short-term and long-term. The main objective is describing clearly what those goals are. Once you do that, developing a plan of action comes much more easily. You can make daily lists of simple things you need to get done, or you can create to-do lists for more long-term goals. Whether you’re trying to accomplish a certain goal, solve a particular problem or simply plan out your day, they are all much easier to tackle once you’ve broken them down into smaller tasks. If you’re trying to make a tough decision, try creating a list of pros and cons in your diary to help you. Use your diary to map out your day, organize your thoughts and making time to do the things you need to do, like homework or chores. Your diary is also a great place to set reminders for yourself, especially if you are using it daily. Sometimes it feels like you’re spinning your wheels when it comes to getting something accomplished, especially if it’s something big. Your diary is a written account of what you’ve done along the way and functions as an excellent log of your progress.  Progress can be hard to measure objectively and sometimes it's easy to forget successes you’ve already had. Looking back at older entries can help you put things in perspective.

When you put yourself on a diet of maple syrup and chili powder, it's pretty obvious that you're not going to stick with it. Even diets that are carb-free or all-protein are recipes for non-committal. When something isn't natural and doable, it's bound to be short-lived. There's no quick fix for long-term weight loss. If your diet involves severe calorie limitations, self-induced vomiting, cutting entire categories of foods (or only consuming 1 category), using laxatives or weight-loss medications or products, it's not healthy. You'll be better off (and more motivated) with a diet that makes you look good and feel good—for a long, long time. The older we get, the more we think we're not like children, but we still are. If you set 3 toys in front of a child and tell them they can't have the third one, which one will they want to play with? The same goes with your food. If you can't have dessert, you'll want it all the more. So instead of eliminating it, just limit it. Let yourself have a bite. Otherwise you'll just eat everything else! Telling yourself you can't have something just feels terrible. It's a punishment and it starts the negative thinking train rolling down the tracks. The truth is a bite of that cake won't make you gain weight—but 3 pieces will. So load up on your steamed veggies for dinner and sneak a taste of your friend's dessert while she's not looking. The massive amount of cauliflower you just ingested proves you deserve it. When friends gather, be it in celebration, commiseration, or just to kill time, what do they do? They eat (or drink). When we're happy, we eat. When we're sad, we eat. When we have nothing better to do, we eat. Unfortunately, that's not good for anyone. Alternative methods of feeling must be had! Start thinking about when and why you eat, not just what. Maybe you always eat mindlessly when you're watching television, or maybe you go straight to the fridge when you're stressed. When you become aware of your patterns, it becomes easier to determine the cause. Start by...

When you read the lab ahead of time, you know what to be prepared for. Make sure that you understand the concepts and procedures addressed in the experiment. Write down any questions, especially those pertaining to safety, before lab. Biology labs are used to reinforce concepts learned in lecture, and to prepare students for more advanced lab work. Following the safety precautions not only protects you, it is often a part of your grade. In addition the the general lab rules that your instructor gives you, you should look for any special safety precautions mentioned in the literature for each experiment. If you have the privilege of choosing your lab partner, make sure to choose someone who is there to do well. Your success can be helped or hindered by your partner's drive. Single out someone you know is committed to biology and ask them ahead of time to be your partner. Most labs are designed to be a two (or more) person job. Avoid the urge to do it all, and delegate some work to your partner. If your partner seems to be doing the majority of the work, pitch in and make sure you understand the concepts. Labs are designed to reinforce the concepts covered in your biology class.
