This applies to everything from emotional to physical needs. Don’t assume your boyfriend knows what you want or what you need—it’s an unrealistic and unproductive expectation that will lead to unfounded disappointments and resentment. Expecting your partner to know instinctively what you want is one of the most common and preventable sources of tension in a relationship. If you want your boyfriend to be involved, you first have to communicate your feelings and needs to him honestly. Instead, just ask. Just as you wouldn’t want to have to read his mind, don’t wait for him to read yours (because he probably can’t). When asking your boyfriend about his thoughts or feelings, try to be as respectful and patient as possible. Don’t be confrontational or accusatory, as it will only make your partner more likely to clam up. Get in the habit of having intimate conversations where you open up to each other and have room to be a little bit vulnerable.  Open up about your goals and dreams. Talk about your past, both good and bad. Share things that have meaning for you—maybe a song, a book, a souvenir, etc. For example, rather than asking, “how was your day?” ask a more specific question that’s likely to elicit a more engaged response, like “what was the best part of your day?” or “what made you smile?” This is particularly important when discussing your needs. Don’t be vague, be specific. Rather than say, “I wish you listened to me more,” say, “I’d really like for you to ask me about my day.” The more specific you are, the more likely you are to get positive results.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Ask for what you need. Don’t assume you know what he’s thinking. Be genuinely interested in him and allow him to be equally as interested in you. Use a specific, concrete communication style, both in your everyday exchanges and in more serious conversations.


This applies to safety, size, weight, and even food, as there are restrictions on all of these.  Safety restrictions vary between countries but include obvious safety hazards (knives in your carry-on, flammable liquids in any of your luggage), not-so-obvious hazards (nail clippers or files in your carry-on), and a few seemingly inexplicable items (an unopened bottle of water on US flights – unless you purchased it after going through security). Weight and size restrictions depend on the airline, so check their website ahead of time for more information. Most medium duffel bags and hand luggage marketed as carry-on will be accepted into the cabin. Avoid bringing peanuts on planes. These can cause allergic reactions in other passengers.  If crossing international borders, don’t bring agricultural items (fruits, vegetables, seeds), meats, or dairy products. Though you may be able to get away with it in some countries, many regulate these items to reduce the spread of nonnative species and disease. Liquids should be easily accessible so that you can remove them for inspection while going through security. In the US, there are very specific liquid and gel allowances:  You are allowed to bring a maximum of 3.4 ounces of a liquid/gel per  container (not total). For example, a 2-ounce bottle of shampoo, a 2-ounce bottle of toothpaste, and a 3.4-ounce bottle of face wash would be okay. All individual containers of liquid must be placed together inside a resealable 1-quart bag (provided for you if necessary as you move through the security line). Before you and your luggage go through the scanners, you will have to place the bag of liquids by itself on the luggage conveyor belt so that it can be inspected if necessary. To circumvent the hassle of packing and storing liquids separately, bring solid toiletries (ex. solid deodorant, powder concealer, etc.). You can also put liquids in your carry-on bag. Liquid allowances don’t usually apply to prescription medication (provided that you have documentation with you to...

Know which items not to bring on a plane. Separate liquids from the rest of your carry-on. Avoid checking in luggage if possible. Consider getting a TSA-approved laptop bag. Keep your most important items in your smallest bag.


This applies when you plan on hanging multiple pieces of wall art together, as a group. The size, shape, type and number of objects in your display will determine how they should be arranged. Here are some suggestions:  Lay art pieces on the floor in order to get a visual of how they relate to each other in size, form, subject, theme and color. Depending on the desired effect, you may want to keep similar colors grouped together, or you may want to scatter colors in a random pattern. Pay special attention to how different sized pieces relate to each other; Large, predominant pieces should be balanced with smaller, minor pieces. Additionally, it makes sense to group pieces according to subject and theme. Rearrange the objects as necessary, until you feel that they are pleasing to the eye and that they make sense logically, according to their characteristics. Make sure there are equal amounts of space between each piece. For displaying art on the wall, a good rule of thumb is to space art pieces 3 inches (7.62 cm) to 4 inches (10.16 cm) apart. Whether your art display is a single piece, multiple pieces, a focal point or an accentuation of the room's other features, it is important that you hang it in a way that stays in line with the room's size and layout. For example, a very high and narrow wall in a bathroom may be a good place to hang a vertical arrangement of three framed pictures, but not a good place to hang an over-sized, panoramic painting. Hang art at eye level. If you are displaying art in a group, then the center-point of the group should be at eye level. To determine a relative eye level, measure between 60 inches (152.4 cm) and 66 inches (167.64 cm) up from the floor. To display artwork at eye level in a sitting area, as in a dining room, hang the pieces at the eye level of the sitter. If you are using artwork to frame an architectural element or a piece of furniture, you should hang wall art within 10 inches (25.4 cm) of the object. Use soft lighting sources, such as specially-designed wall art...

Determine your art display layout. Choose a wall space that is proportional in size and orientation to the art you want to display. Display wall art at the appropriate level. Accentuate your wall art display with lighting.


This approach helps to minimize the opportunity to leave out something important, and lets you evaluate whether or not everything you're trying to pack is absolutely essential. As a bonus, having everything in front of you at one time makes it easier to group like items together and pack them in the same compartment of the rucksack, helping to stay organized and efficient. Again, consider your purpose. If you're going to the lake house and want to bring your ruck sack, it's probably not essential to bring the camp stove and the fold-up hatchet. Err on the side of keeping it as light as possible. Items that you will use throughout the day should be packed in a compartment that can be opened and closed with relatively little effort. Snacks, a swimsuit, your phone, or a change of clothing should be easily accessed without having to remove a number of items from any compartment.  If you have a single big compartment in your rucksack, the things that you will use as soon as you arrive and continue using frequently should go on top and things you will rarely use should go at the bottom. It's usually common, if you're heading out hiking or hitching, to keep your socks on the top of the bag for quick changes and easy access. Placing small items together in plastic bags with a reclosable top helps to prevent those items from settling during the day and being harder to find when they are needed. Use the bags for snacks, bottled water or other substances that could damage equipment or stain clothing if they were to puncture or otherwise come open. It's usually common to keep soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and other toiletries in a plastic bag to avoid spillage and keep the easily accessible. Before you start jamming everything into your rucksack, check for ways you can start to save space by nesting things into one another. Keep your iPhone in your spare pair of shoes, or wrap up your passport in your jeans. If you're bringing a small foldable pot, keep the camp stove, matches, and other small items in the pot. This can be...

Lay out all the items beforehand. Prioritize your most used items. Consider using plastic bags for smaller items. Find ways to nest items.


This arrangement results in a dark photograph, with white lines reflected along the edges of the glass. This accentuates the shape of the glass object, but can make it difficult to see color and detail. Place a black cloth or black matte paper background behind and under the glass object, so nothing else is visible in the photograph. On the left and right of the object, outside the visible photograph, position white rectangular paper vertically. If you have a photography light box or can build your own, set up your object inside the light box. Cut out two thin rectangles of white paper ("fill cards"), taller than the glass object. Position these standing upright to the left and right of the object, behind it, and out of the camera's field of view. Point it toward the object at roughly a 45º angle in relation to the camera. These will create a white reflection along the sides of the glass, highlighting its shape and contrasting with the black center.  For a more stylized effect with only the outlined sides of the glass visible, you can use white paper to form "walls" directly to the left and right of the object. You can use a single piece of paper instead, and the glass will still reflect it to appear on both sides. This step can take time to set up if you do not have a professional light-box, so be prepared for some tweaking. Point a white light at each white fill card, but take care not to let the light pass through the glass itself. Ideally, use photographic light flags on all sides of the light source to keep it focused on one area. If you do not have any light flags, you can make your own using foam-core board or another solid, opaque material. Surround the entire setup with black matte paper or black-painted posterboard, and turn off all other lights in the room. Leave a small gap to fit your camera's lens through. If you see reflections in the glass, look carefully and make adjustments to make sure all reflective surfaces are obscured. Take a photograph and see how it turns out. If you think you can do...

This article assumes you have already filed for custody and attended any court-ordered mediation. If you haven’t, then you shouldn’t assume you are in a “custody battle.” There is still time for you and the other parent to agree on child custody. You can draft a parenting plan and file it with the court.  Most likely, either you or the other parent has already filed a petition for custody in court. You probably have tried mediation and failed to reach an agreement. If neither is true, then see File a Petition for Child Custody and Prepare for Child Custody Mediation for more information. You should also find out why the other parent is fighting you. For example, you might want a 50-50 custody arrangement, but the other parent wants you only to get weekend visitation. Find out the reasons why. Here are some of the more common:  One parent has accused the other of abusing the children. One parent has accused the other of being neglectful and not having a bond with the children. One parent has accused the other of being a drug addict or alcoholic and thus a danger to the children. The parents live far apart and sharing custody 50-50 isn’t realistic. Accordingly, the children need to spend most of the school year with one parent. A judge will determine custody by considering what is in the best interests of the child. As part of this analysis, the judge will need to consider a variety of factors. Not every factor will apply to your case. But if it does, then you need to argue that the factor favors you. Common factors include:  The parent’s personality and ability to raise the child. The parent’s relationship with the child. Each parent’s employment status. Each parent’s mental and physical health. Why the parent is seeking child custody. Whether the parent is willing to encourage the children to maintain a relationship with the other parent. Who the child wants to live with (if they are old enough). How moving would impact the child. A child custody battle is very important. Not only do you want to win, but it...

This article covers the basics, but it only scratches the surface of C programming and all the associated knowledge. A good reference book will help you solve problems and save you from a lot of headaches down the road. There are lots of communities, both online and in the real world, dedicated to programming and all of the languages that entails. Find some like-minded C programmers to swap code and ideas with, and you will soon find yourself learning a lot.  Attend some hack-a-thons if possible. These are events where teams and individuals have time limits to come up with programs and solutions, and often foster a lot of creativity. You can meet a lot of good programmers this way, and hack-a-thons happen regularly across the globe. You don't have to go back to school for a Computer Science degree, but taking a few classes can do wonders for your learning. Nothing beats hands-on help from people who are well-versed in the language. You can often find classes at local community centers and junior colleges, and some universities will allow you to audit their computer science programs without having to enroll. Once you have a grasp of C, it wouldn't hurt to start taking a look at C++. This is the more modern version of C, and allows for a lot more flexibility. C++ is designed with object handling in mind, and knowing C++ can enable you to create powerful programs for virtually any operating system.

This avoids the risk of injury or electrocution. Make sure to turn the power off before you take the plug out of the power connection. Lift the handle of the machine up to expose the portion pack holder. Hold the coffee maker steady in 1 hand and use your other hand to pull the portion pack holder out of the machine. The portion pack is sometimes called the “K-cup”. Tightly hold the portion pack holder with 1 hand, and use your other hand to pull the funnel out of the holder. The funnel tends to be wedged firmly in the portion pack holder. Pull firmly on the funnel to extract it from the holder. Use the point of the paper clip to scrape around the interior walls of the portion pack holder. This will help to dislodge any debris that may be stuck to the walls. The force of the water will help to remove any debris that were dislodged by the paperclip. Keep the holder and funnel under the water until all the visible dirt is gone. Avoid using very hot water, as this can melt the plastic parts in the holder and funnel. This avoids any lint getting stuck in the machine. Place the holder and funnel on the bench for 1 hour to dry. Check that they are completely dry before you proceed with the cleaning process. Push the funnel back into the coffee maker. Check that it sits securely in the holder and can’t wobble around. Place the connected holder and funnel back into their original position in the coffee machine. Line up the slots on the sides of the holder and the hole in the machine, and then push the holder back into the coffee maker.  Leave the handle open after you have placed the holder and funnel back in the machine. This makes it easier to access the entrance needle. The holder will snap into place when it is correctly inserted into the coffee machine. Look underneath the brewers head for a small entrance needle.

This awesome trick exploits certain common quirks in human psychology. Though you give your spectator choices that seem like they have many different possible answers, most people will guess exactly the same thing, which, at the end of the trick, you'll guess, to the likely amazement of your volunteer. Start by asking the volunteer to think of any number between 1 and 5, but not to reveal it. For example, if your volunteer picked the number 5, 9 × 5 = 45, so s/he will add 4 + 5 to get 9. This should be done mentally, not out loud. 9 - 5 = 4, so, at this point, your volunteer will have the number 4 in his or her head. For example, the number 1 corresponds to A, 2 to B, etc. At this point, they will have the number 4, regardless of what number they initially picked, so they will pick the letter D. Most of the time, people will think of the country Denmark. The last letter in "Denmark" is "K", and most people will associate the letter K with kangaroos. The last letter in "Kangaroo" is "O". Orange is the only common color that starts with O. Make a big show of squinting and pressing your fingers to your temples. Tell your spectator that you are searching deep in the depths of his or her psyche. Nine times out of ten, your volunteer will react with amazement, though occasionally you'll get someone who picks "Koala" or "Djibouti" or another answer.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Tell the spectator to think of a number between 1 and 5. Ask the volunteer to multiply the number by nine, then add the two digits of the answer. Ask the volunteer to subtract 5 from their number. Tell the volunteer to find the letter in the alphabet that corresponds to that number. Tell the volunteer to pick a country that starts with that letter. Ask the volunteer to think of an animal that starts with the last letter of the country's name. Ask the volunteer to think of a color that starts with the last letter of the animal's name. Pretend to read your subject's mind. Act puzzled and tell your subject that you're seeing an Orange Kangaroo in Denmark.


This bait is widely used in many types of fishing. Use earthworms or manure worms in freshwater and bloodworms or sandworms in saltwater. Mealworms and other live grubs are usually used for trout or bass.  Pierce through several smaller worms or cut up worm halves to hide the hook in a mass of wriggling worms. Some hooks come with smaller hooks attached to the side for this purpose. For large worms, thread a single worm along the hook until the hook is mostly or completely hidden. For very large worms, pierce the hook through several points of the body. Leave a length at the end to wriggle and attract fish. Many fish feed on minnow, but make sure you pick a size appropriate for your target fish to eat. Ask at the bait shop what kind of local fish your target eats, too.  If you are dragging the bait behind you in a moving boat (trolling), hook the fish under its jaw and exit through the top, or just through its upper jaw for especially large bait fish. Alternatively, you can hook it through both nostrils. Any of these hook methods will maximize the fish's ability to swim with a natural motion to attract predator fish.  For fishing while still or moving slowly, hook the bait fish on its back just in front of the dorsal fin. Hook it underneath the spine to avoid paralyzing it. This forces the fish to swim more frantically and head-downwards, attracting attention. You can fine tune the depth by placing it further ahead of the dorsal fin; this causes it to swim at a shallower downward angle. If you are freelining (fishing while stationary, using no floats or weights), you can hook the bait near the tail to make it swim forward. To force it to swim downward instead, hook into the mouth and exit through the gills. Fish that are attracted to crayfish bait include smallmouth bass, catfish, and walleye.  Thread the hook shallowly through the back or front of the crayfish, pushing it out again on the same side. Don't go any deeper than necessary to get under the main shell segment, or you may kill the crayfish....

Use worms and mealworms when in doubt. Use minnow as a general purpose bait fish or specialize with another variety. Hook certain species with crayfish. Use shrimp when saltwater fishing near the shore. Bait freshwater fish with insects.


This basic coop is 4 feet (1.2 m) by 6 feet (24 square feet of floor space). If you need more or less space, feel free to scale the measurements accordingly. To make both building and cleaning as easy as possible, start with a piece of plywood cut to the ideal size (in this case, 4 feet by 6 feet). Be sure that the plywood is between 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) and 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.  If you are cutting the plywood yourself, use a straight edge and an easy-to-see pen to make lines before you cut. Screw on the frame. To keep the floor sturdy, screw 2x4s around the bottom perimeter. You may also want to screw one across the middle of the floor for extra security. To ensure a tight joint on the corners, use a long pipe clamp. This is the only one of the walls that will not have an opening, and thus it is the easiest to build. Use a 6 foot (1.8 m) long, 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick piece of plywood. Screw 2x2s to the underside of the vertical edges. Be sure that the 2x2s stop 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the bottom of the plywood. Place the wall on the floor so that the extra 4 inches (10.2 cm) of plywood covers the 2x4s on the underside of the floor. Then, secure the wall in place using 1 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) screws and construction glue. Use 1 and 1/2 inch screws and construction glue to attach a 4 foot (1.2 m) long, 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick piece of plywood to the front of the coop. Screw the plywood into the 2x4s on the bottom of the coop and the 2x2s on the solid side wall. Then, cut the door opening.  Plan the front door opening before you cut. The door opening should be 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) wide. Cut the height according to your preferences, but keep in mind that you should leave 6 to 10 inches (15.2 to 25.4 cm) between the edges of the door and the top and bottom of the plywood panel.  Use a Jigsaw to make the cut. This will give you the easiest, smoothest cut. When you are done, reinforce the top of the door using a piece of scrap wood about 20 inches (50.8 cm) long and thick enough to attach using plenty of screws...

This basic information about your company should appear in professional lettering at the top of the page. If you're using word processing software, create a new document and select "header" from the drop down menu to create a header; otherwise, simply type your company's name and center it at the top of the page.  If you don't have a business name, type your first and last name. You may also include your middle initial if desired. Use Arial, Times New Roman or another professional font for the heading. The font size should be bigger than the size you'll use for the body of the invoice. Type the address where you want to receive payment, your business phone number, and your business email address just under your business name. Your contact information should be centered and written in a smaller font than your business name.  If you use your personal phone number and email address as your business phone number and email address, include those. To make your contact information appear more readable, consider typing it on several lines. For example, 2005 Rodeo Drive  Los Angeles, CA 90010 555-666-1234 junedesign@email.com If you have a logo, include it in the header to the left or right of your business name. If your business name is part of your business logo, you can use the logo in place of your name.  It is not necessary to include a company logo, though it can help lend your invoice a professional air. If you don't have a logo and wish to make one, see  How to Make a Personal Logo.

This becomes "chi-ca-go” and will help you master the pronunciation. The first syllable is the least controversial. There is not much debate over how to pronounce it.  Pronounce the “Chi” as “Shi.” In other words, the “Ch” is not the “ch” sound in English words like “cheese” or “chips.” The "i" is pronounced as the "i" in "it." Rather, the “Ch” in Chicago is pronounced like the “sh” in the words “shut” and “shirt.”   The stronger emphasis should be on the middle syllable of the word though.

Break the word “Chicago” into syllables.

This breed tends to be on the energetic and athletic side and will typically exhibit a much more even temperament when they receive proper amounts of exercise. Without exercise, you may have a bored and potentially destructive dog on your hands. Daily exercise should consist of 30-40 minutes of varied activity that can include, but is not limited to, running, hiking, swimming, weight-pulling, and agility. Because of the facial structure of this breed, their "smushed" face means that they have narrow nasal passages. This can make it more difficult, than many other breeds, for them to breathe and to remain cool. Keep this in mind when you are exercising your dog on a hot day or for long periods of time. Be sure to allow for several water and cool-down breaks. If you think that your American Bulldog is becoming overheated or can't catch its breath, this could be an emergency situation that will need medical assistance from your veterinarian. A Bulldog will not be happy lounging on the couch all day with no exercise. In that type of situation, it is easy for an American Bulldog to become overweight, which can lead to a variety of health issues, such as diabetes and injuries to their knees and hips. They have a natural tendency to play rough, so do not be surprised if your Bulldog plays and romps with vigor and occasionally sends things flying, including people. Have fun with your pup during exercise, but be careful too!

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Give your American Bulldog regular, daily exercise. Remember that your Bulldog has more difficulty breathing than many other breeds. Reconsider choosing an American Bulldog if you want a lazy dog. Understand that American Bulldogs like to play rough.

This cable should go in the same output as your headphones would. Though the input location will vary based on your model and style of amp, it will normally entail two 3.5 millimeter input holes--one red and one white, to match the RCA cables--under a name such as "AUX-IN" (for auxiliary). You can also plug into the "CD" or "VCR" inputs if there is no "AUX" option.  If you're working with a 6.35 millimeter input, the large end of your cable should plug into the headphones jack in the front of the amp. Make sure you're plugging your cable into an input slot, not an output slot. Make sure everything is on before turning on your iPod or MP3 player.  If you can't hear anything initially, turn the volume up on your iPod or MP3 player before cranking the volume on your amp. Do this gradually so you don't hurt your ears. For example, if your amp has a distortion feature or a bass-boost, turn these down or off to ensure the clearest audio signal possible. Your iPod or MP3 should now be playing through your amp!

Adjust any additional amp settings as you listen. Enjoy your music.


This can actually be a bit of fun, but the true purpose is to show you how little other people tend to care whether or not you do everything perfectly. For the most part, they won't even notice your imperfections, and if they do, they usually won't mind. Try, for instance:  wearing a shirt with a stain on it on purpose. inviting someone over without tidying up the house. shorting yourself on bus fare so you have to ask someone for a dime. making a few intentional grammar mistakes in an email. pretending to lose your train of thought while speaking in front of a group. In this case, instead of purposefully doing something imperfectly, simply leave some “imperfections” in place that you typically would find and eliminate. Does your boss even notice that your report is a bit less detailed than normal? Does your teacher seem aware that you didn't re-write your math formulas to make your work look neater? And, even if people do notice, are they bothered by it at all? As long as you're fulfilling the essential requirements of the task, the answer will almost always be “no.” Perfectionists often feel the need to take on others' work to make sure it is “done right” as well, even if they're already overworked with their own tasks. Resist this urge, and observe what happens — it will probably be one of the following:  The other person will complete the task to an acceptable level. The other person will do an unacceptable job and will face the consequences. The job won't get done and no one will seem to care all that much. ” You may imagine that making a mistake will lead to your worst case scenario and find that you would still be okay if that happened. This can help to ease your concern and relax you. Try looking at the situation and taking the possible outcomes to their natural conclusion by continually asking “so what?” For example, you might worry about being late to work and think, “If I am late, I will get into trouble.” Ask yourself, “so what?” “I might get a written warning or even get fired.” “So what?” “I...

This can be a CD-R or a CD-RW, so long as it is blank. Most Mac computers and many Windows computers don't ship with optical drives (also known as DVD drives) into which you can insert a CD, meaning you might need to buy a USB optical drive. You can find these in tech stores and online.  If your computer has an optical drive, look for the word "DVD" on or near the drive. If you don't see "DVD" there, the drive that you have cannot burn CDs and you'll still need to buy an external one. Make sure that your optical drive has burn capabilities. This feature should be mentioned in the product description. If you're using a Mac, you'll need a USB-C optical drive, or a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter. It's near the bottom of the pop-up window. Your music files will begin burning onto the CD. When the burn is complete, you'll be prompted to click OK, at which point you can safely eject the disc. Your music files are now stored on your CD.

This can be a bit hard but once you get the hang of it then it will be as smooth as silk. Though you may be determined to play hard to get and to keep things a bit mysterious, you have to end up telling the guy how you feel if you want to keep him. You don't have to declare your love to him right away or tell him your fifty favorite qualities of his, but hey, if you do like the guy, it won't hurt to be honest with him. Tell him you had fun on your date, that you love hanging out with him, that you love his quirky sense of humor, whatever. If you don't give him anything to work with, he'll lose interest--fast. And don't send him mixed signals, either. Telling him he's hot one night and being distant the next will just confuse him, not turn him on. Even if you're saying "I love you" and getting ready to say "I do," you can always play hard to get to an extent. That means that, in any successful, long-lasting relationship, the courtship is never really over. Both you and your guy will continue making each other happy and will keep things exciting, interesting, and flexible. Don't stop flirting, being coy, or making your man continue to win you over, as long as he does the same. Though the chase is never over, you don't have to play hard to get all the time once you're in a committed relationship. Try to minimize the mind games while keeping your man interested. If you got the guy's attention by playing hard to get to begin with, then you can't just quit the act and let him think that you will give up anything that matters to you to be with him. You will definitely need to adjust your schedule to make room for any serious love interest, but you should keep pursuing your interests, hanging out with you girlfriends, working out, or doing whatever it is you loved to do before you met the guy. If both of you continue to spend time apart to do your own thing, then you'll be keeping each other interested. You'll be much more excited to see each other after some time apart. If you really want to go all in on a...

This can be a cue to your reader that you're ending your essay, and that they need to pay attention. Though a lot of essays begin their last paragraph with a transition, you don't need to if you feel like it's clear enough that you are ending your essay. The transition can be very simple. You should probably stay away from overused phrases such as “In conclusion,” “To summarize,” or “In closing.” Because they are used so often, they come across as cliched and stiff. Consider less-popular yet concise words such as "conclusively." Try taking the first sentences of each body paragraph (your topic sentences) and rewriting their main points in two or three sentences. This will reinforce your essay's argument, reminding the reader what you were talking about, or arguing for. Avoid summarizing your points exactly as you wrote them. Your readers have already read your essay. They don’t have to be reminded of every single point you just made. There’s no hard and fast rule for how long your conclusion should be, but for many high school and college essays, a good rule of thumb is that your conclusion should be anywhere from 5 to 7 sentences long. Any less, and you probably haven't summarized your points enough; any more, and you're probably rambling on a bit too much. You should reference it as you end your essay, even if it's only in passing. Remember, your thesis is the main point of your essay, something you're arguing for. If someone who reads your conclusion still doesn't know what your thesis is, you haven't done a good-enough job of telling them. Find a way to rework your thesis in an interesting way, using different language. Restating your thesis using the same words strikes the reader as lazy and doesn’t offer new insight into your argument. Sounding authoritative means using the right words (as opposed to just any old words), relying on solid evidence from other sources, and believing in your own ability to write. Don’t apologize for your ideas or use heavily qualifying language.  For example, instead of...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Start with a small transition (optional). Briefly summarize some of the main points. Keep it short and sweet. Be sure to work your thesis statement into the conclusion in one way or another. Write authoritatively on your subject. End with a flourish.


This can be a difficult task. Who you are is largely a reflection of how you think others see you. Consequently, there is a part of yourself that is a collection of things you've done and other memories of being in different situations. The other part is how you remember or think other people feel about you both now and in the past. Try writing a list of who you are. On a piece of paper, number 1 to 20. For each number, give a different answer to the statement "Who am I?". Then look at each statement and decide if that's primarily based on what you think of yourself or what others think of you. In any situation your initial response tends to be sub-cognitive. That's to say it is almost a "gut-feeling" that you have to make sense of. This is your intuition. Your intuition speaks to you with your inner voice to say to move forward or be cautious. Sometimes we have both an immediate feeling and counter-feeling. The immediate feeling is your initial impression. The counter-feeling is a cognitive (i.e., thought) response based on ideas such as "What 'should' I think or feel?" or "What would other people do?". That initial impression is your inner voice. Much of the time, your inner voice is in conflict with external motives. You imagine what society thinks or what your parents, friends, or partner might think. Your inner voice has conversations with these people as if a real discussion takes place. This is not to say that your initial impressions are more correct or accurate than the opinions of others. The goal is not to evaluate the information being presented--just to focus on what your own unique contribution is to a situation. If you know your inner voice you can identify your own intuition and beliefs. The other opinions that conflict or agree, by default, are then other people or groups. Even if you can't put a name or face to an opinion, knowing that the opinion is not of your inner voice is sufficient.  If you are a particularly submissive individual you may find it difficult to differentiate your inner...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Differentiate yourself from the world's expectations. Focus on your initial impressions. Listen to the conversations in your mind. Identify the sources of each voice in the conversation. Quiet the voices that are not your own.


This can be a hidden door in your house, the woods, a trail, or just your neighborhood. There are always new things to be found even in the most “normal” of places. Feeling adventurous? What does the Earth have to offer your explorations? Do you live close to the mountains, the jungle, or a forest? If it's possible, venture into this unmapped territory – just make sure you're prepared for the specific obstacles each different terrain presents! You’ll need a water bottle, some snacks, a notebook and pen, a flashlight, a compass, and whatever else might be useful for your specific trip. More ideas will be listed in the "Things You'll Need" section!  Again, each trip calls for different things. If you're going camping for an entire weekend, you'll need camping gear, a tent, and enough food and water. If you're just going for an afternoon, you can travel a lot lighter. Make sure you wear your backpack correctly – you wouldn't want to hurt your back halfway through exploring! It shouldn’t be too heavy, either. You'll wish you brought less as you carry it around, realizing it's just slowing you down. Having a second person will help you feel safer ‘’and’’ you two can help each other – two sets of eyes are twice as powerful (and twice as quick). You may also need another set of hands for climbing trees, being on the lookout, or just to keep track of notes and directions.  Make sure this friend is just as adventurous as you are. Someone who’s afraid of heights, bugs, or just doesn’t want to get their clothes dirty may end up slowing you down! Three or four people is okay too, but if you're just exploring for fun, you probably don't want too big of a party. When you hit more than four, it becomes a chore getting everyone on the same page. Climbing through the woods in your backyard? You’ll want pants and tennis shoes to get through the dirt and to protect your legs from the brush and bramble. Exploring the beach? Bring boots for the sand, and don't forget the sunscreen! Make sure your friend knows what to wear, too!...

Find an area to explore. Pack all your things in a backpack. Invite a friend along. Wear clothes appropriate for where you are exploring. If necessary, have a map of the area you are exploring. Study up on your surroundings. Set up camp.


This can be a nerve-wracking and difficult step, but it is necessary if you want to rekindle a romance. Consider using a form of communication that will allow your ex some time to think before responding to you, such as an email, letter, or text message. This also has the benefit of allowing you to choose your words carefully and to edit your initial message. An initial contact is not the time to dump all of your feelings onto your ex. Instead, be honest but judicious in what you tell him or her. You should also make sure that your ex has the opportunity to respond, so that you can begin to see whether your ex might be open to re-establishing contact. Some possible scripts include:  "Hi! I have been thinking about you a lot, and so I wanted to get in touch. How have you been?" "Dear [insert ex's name], I know it has been a long time since we talked, but I realize that I miss you a lot. It would be great if we could catch up sometime. Let me know what you think about that!" "I just heard a song on the radio that made me think of you. I know that I am probably not your favorite person right now, but I would love it if we could hang out soon. How does that sound?" If your ex does not respond to your message, consider that a signal that your ex would prefer that you kept your distance. If your ex requests explicitly that you do not contact him or her, you should honor that request. Let the ball stay in your ex's court, and hopefully your ex will be pleased that you got in touch. If your ex responds in a positive way to your message, suggest an activity that friends might do together, such as go out for a lunch or a coffee, take a walk in a local park, or attend a book-reading. Keep the conversation friendly and upbeat if you can, and avoid serious topics for now--you have serious issues to work out, but you can work on the serious issues a little later. Taking your time is essential.  Show genuine interest in how your ex has been doing. Ask about their job, their family, their hobbies. Be happy for them if they...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Make initial contact. Keep your contact short and simple, and put the ball in your ex's court. Do not come on too strong. Propose a neutral activity. Follow your ex's lead. Take your time. Do not have sex right away. Be realistic in your expectations.


This can be a piece of jewelry, a clock part, decorative hardware, a car emblem, etc. The item you want to plate will determine the type of kit you should purchase.  Some items such as large pieces may require a 'Brush Plating Kit', whereas other small items such as jewelry should be done with an "Immersion Plating Kit".  An internet search of those terms will lead you to high quality equipment manufacturers.  Most gold plated jewelry is made with a silver base, but other metals, such as copper or aluminum, can be gold plated as well. Silver and gold tend to diffuse into each other, which can cause a plated piece to become dull or tarnished looking as the gold plating wears. Layering the silver with copper first can create longer-lasting luster because it's not as reactive to gold. Now that you know what you want to plate, you can choose the correct kit for the job. If you’re still not sure, try contacting a gold plating service or kit manufacturer about which kit is right for you to use.  The average gold plating kit will include a liquid gold solution, an electrical supply, and a plating wand or brush that links to the power supply and directs where the gold is bonded.  An all-inclusive kit is ideal; due to the nature of gold plating, you may need other solutions or accessories depending on what metal or item you are working on. Gold plating solutions regularly come in 14-karat, 18-karat, or 24-karat gold. The color of the finished product may vary depending on the karat levels. Colour may also vary when metal alloys, such as copper or silver, are added to the plating solution. While your plating kit will come with most of the necessary materials, it might not come with everything. Some plating solutions need to reach a certain temperature for the best results, for instance, so a hot plate and heat-resistant beakers may be needed. You will additionally need an electrical current. If your kit does not come with one, then a twelve-amp rectifier with variable amp and voltage controls will do. Finally, you will...

Choose the metal item you plan to plate. Purchase your gold plating kit. Gather all of the necessary materials for the process.


This can be a sheet of plastic canvas, window screening, tulle, or even lace. Plastic canvas is a great choice, because it comes in all sorts of colors and is easy to work with; you can find it at an arts and crafts store. This holder will work best for hook earrings, but it can work for stud earrings as well.  If you are using window screening, consider spray painting it a fun color first. Paint one side first, let it dry, then flip it over and paint the other side. For a rustic frame, try burlap instead. You can even add a silhouette or letter to it with some fabric paint and a stencil. Discard the glass panel and the backing, or save them for another project. Alternatively, you can also use a simple, wooden frame base from the craft store; it doesn't come with a glass panel or backing, so it'll be less work for you. Don't worry about the color of the frame; you can always paint it. If the frame is the right design, but the wrong color, you can spray paint it to suit your taste. You can also decorate your frame with glitter, glitter glue, or colorful rhinestones. Let everything dry completely before continuing. Turn your frame over so that the back is facing you, then lay the mesh down on it. Use painter's tape or masking tape to mark off where you need to cut the mesh. When you are done, cut the mesh using the tape as your guideline. Peel off any excess tape. Don't use marker. Not only will you mess the frame up, but the marker will be hard to see on the material. Draw a line of glue around the outer edges of the opening on the back of the frame. Quickly press the mesh into the glue. You can use hot glue or tacky glue for this. If you used tulle, lace, or burlap, you can use fabric glue instead.  Different types of glue will take different amounts of time to dry. Tacky glue will take a few hours while hot glue will set almost immediately. If you'd like to hide the glue, outline the inside edges of the mesh square with glue, then cover it with strips of ribbon. Make sure that the ribbon does not stick past...

Get some mesh. Take apart a picture frame. Paint or decorate the frame, if desired. Trim the mesh so that it is slightly larger than the opening in the frame. Glue the mesh down to the back of the frame, and let it dry. Lean the frame against your wall or dresser. Hang your earrings onto the mesh.


This can be a tough one when you’re a teenager. Everyone around you is in the process of maturing, and you’re probably all doing so at different rates. Even so, do your best to pick someone who seems to be at a similar place on that journey as you are. It will ultimately make things easier.  A good way to know if you’re equally mature is to notice how comfortable you feel around this person and how easy they are to talk to. Do you find yourself feeling annoyed by them because they’re immature or because they're condescending and elitist? In both cases, you may be at different levels of maturity. Some people like to say that, “age is just a number.” That’s sometimes true, but age can also be a helpful indicator when you’re trying to tell if a relationship will work out. Sharing interests is an important way that people in romantic relationships connect. Of course, you don’t need to have everything in common or like all of the same things, but if you enjoy similar activities, you’ll always be able to find fun things to do together.  Meeting someone through an activity you enjoy can make for a great relationship. You could meet a potential partner in a club, student government, or an extracurricular activity. Similar values or backgrounds can also bring you together. For example, a person who loves sports can still be with a person who loves art if they both have similar religious or spiritual practices. This one can be tough when you’re a teen, since not everyone is going to be mature enough to have self-awareness. Self-awareness means that a person has some conscientiousness about their behavior and their effect on others. They’re able to look at themselves honestly and critically and make changes, if needed.  A person with self-awareness will have some patience and self-control. They won’t try to rush you or the relationship before you’re ready. Self-awareness helps a person be a better partner because they can see how their actions affect you and the relationship. It is important that you find a partner who...

Make sure you’re equally mature. Share interests. Look for someone with self-awareness. Choose someone who is respectful. Take it slow.


This can be a tough one, because you’ll naturally want to see what she’s doing. Unfortunately, her social media will probably involve lots of pictures and posts of her with someone else. Stop following her Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr accounts. You don’t have to unfriend her on Facebook – she will probably notice this and it could make your friendship awkward. Instead, use Facebook’s privacy settings to block her updates from showing up in your feed.  Having to deal with her presence constantly online will make the situation so much harder for you. Unfollowing her on social media will help you think about her less and keep you from obsessing over what she’s doing. You probably know where she tends to spend a lot of her time, which makes it easy for you to avoid these places completely. This doesn’t have to be a permanent thing, and you should never feel like a place is “off-limits” to you because of another person. However, you’ll probably feel better if you avoid her known hang-outs for a short time, at least at first.  “Out of sight, out of mind” is an old cliché that can be very useful when you’re trying to get over a crush. You’ll make it harder on yourself to get past the situation if it’s in your face all the time. It can be easy to isolate yourself when you feel sad about a crush. You might not feel like being around people and it may seem preferable to be alone in your room. Make an effort to focus on your school work or find a new hobby that will keep you actively thinking about other things. Look for activities that will get you out of the house and around other people.  It might take a little extra energy to focus on something other than your crush, but you can do it. Trying out new hobbies and making plans with your friends can help you keep your mind distracted.

Unfollow her social media accounts. Avoid the places where she hangs out. Stay busy.

This can be any program that allows you to enter text (e.g., Microsoft Word or Notepad). If you want to link to content on your website, the page or item to which you want to link must currently be on your website. If you're linking to a photo on your website, for example, the photo must be on your website and you must know the address for the page on which the photo resides. This is what someone will click on to access the link's page. Simply type in your preferred word or phrase into your text editor. For example, you might use "LINK" as the text on which people will click. Hyperlinks are indicated using the "" tag, a link's text (e.g., "LINK"), and a closing tag (). Your initial link should look like this: LINK Type href= inside of an open tag to indicate the hyperlink destination. The "href" attribute tells the browser where to direct the user once the link is clicked. Your incomplete tag should look something like this: LINK Between "href=" and ">", type in the address for a website, making sure to place quotes before and after the address. This can be an internal link—e.g., another page on your website—or an external link, such as a page on a different website. For example, to link to YouTube, your link would look like this: LINK To place your link on your website, you'll need access to the site's code page. You can copy your link by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘ Command+C (Mac), then you can paste it into your website's code page by pressing Ctrl+V or ⌘ Command+V.

This can be anywhere... a book store, bar, restaurant, shopping center, etc. If you find someone at a place you visit frequently, chances are you may have something in common.  Something to talk about, perhaps. Narrow and tense eye's tend to convey a negative or angry disposition, so do your best to maintain your calm.  A calm demeanor will put people at ease and make them feel more comfortable speaking with you. Every so often, gaze over at her.  Does she seem to be trying to make eye contact with you? Staring at people is not only rude, but it also makes people feel very uncomfortable.  If you don't catch her eye, she may be uninterested or preoccupied.  Even worse, you may be offended that you are staring. If someone is unwilling to make eye contact with you, or seems to be avoiding it, this may be an indicator that she is not interested in speaking or meeting you. If the two of you make eye-contact, be sure to relax and smile.  Again, an easy smile will make people feel more comfortable. Looking intensely at a person--even when eye contact has been established--can be rude and intimidating, even demeaning. Although this is highly subjective and is in now way a perfect science, do your best to interpret any expression she may have made.  Did she return the smile?  Or, did she politely nod?  A smile may be an indicator of interest, while a nod just the opposite.  Blinking or batting of the eyes can also be an indicator of interest.  Did she raise her eyebrows?  This can be a way of saying hello or communicating further interest.  Were her eyes wide open?  This can be a way of communicating happiness or joy, even a feeling of ease.  Did she seem to be lowering her chin, appearing to be looking up at you?  This too can be a sign that she may be interested in meeting you. Don't look away until she does.  This will communicate that you are interested in speaking to her. The longer she maintains eye contact, the more likely it is that she may be interested in meeting you. After she breaks eye contact with you,...

Find someone you may be interested in meeting. Relax. Glance casually in her direction. Don't stare. Meet her gaze with a smile. Avoid examining her. Try to read her facial expression. Let her be the first to break eye contact. Continue to look.


This can be as sneaky as you're capable of. "Hey, who's that guy we're working with on the etymology project again?" Maybe your friends don't know either! Don't be afraid to ask the person yourself. Odds are if you don't know, people butcher their name all the time. Say to him or her, "What's the native way of pronouncing your name?" to get them to pronounce it how they would back home. They'll love that you're making an effort. Once you have it, don't let it go. As Dale Carnegie said, "Remember that a person's name to that person is the sweetest and most important sound in any language." Repeat it in your head seven times. You'll be less likely to forget the correct way to say it when you have it logged in your memory. If the pronunciation surprises you, think of a rhyme to ease recall. Because the world has become such a global village, there are quite a few websites out there dedicated to just this. Hearnames, Pronouncenames, and Inogoloare all useful tools to circumvent the wonder.

This can be bought at any auto accessory store or superstore like Walmart in the automotive section. Brake cleaner is designed to absorb and erode oil, dirt, rust and stray paint, so if you need a higher-powered solution to your egg stain problem, it will likely do the trick.  Caution: Brake cleaner is a toxic, corrosive and potentially flammable solution. Exercise care when using brake cleaner fluid at home. If applied improperly or left on too long, it could cause considerable damage to your car's paint. Create a compact, thick pad to use to apply the brake cleaner. Spray some cleaner onto the paper towel in an area slightly larger than a half-dollar. You can apply more later if you need to. Paper towels are optimal when working with brake fluid as they can be disposed of. Avoid using a towel that you might reuse as the brake fluid is toxic and mildly corrosive. Make your motions smooth but firm. Wipe away as much of the stain as you can, reapplying more brake cleaner as needed. The impact and hardening of the egg stain may have chipped the paint, or the brake cleaner might have taken some paint off. Buy a small bottle of finishing paint from your dealership in the right color and touch up the areas where the paint is faded. If you want your paint to look best, the mechanics at your car's dealership can touch up your car professionally for a small fee.

Purchase a small bottle of brake cleaner. Take a heavy-duty paper towel and fold it into a small square. Go over the stain with the brake cleaner. Repaint the area if necessary.


This can be charcoal, a propane gas tank or simply the electrical plug. Make sure that you have more nearby to restock the smoking chamber.  If you are using a gas smoker, you will want to place the chips inside a foil packet. Poke holes in the top of the packet 6 or more times. Place the packet very close to the heat so that it will produce smoke.  If you are using a water smoker, you can place fresh herbs in the water to give the meat extra flavor. You will need to ensure air can get around the wood or charcoal, so open up the air vents wide. Then, let it heat for at least 20 to 30 minutes. While your fire will reach high temperatures of 400 degrees at the beginning, you will want it to cool down to a lower temperature. After 30 minutes, turn the air vents nearly closed to discourage fire and encourage smoldering coals or wood. The temperature should be adjusted according to the type of smoker, the type of meat and the size of the meat pieces.  For example, fish should be smoked at a lower heat than beef. A large pork shoulder can use a higher heat than small pieces of beef jerky. Electric and gas smokers tend to cook hotter, so turn the heat down to a lower setting.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Fill your smoker with fuel. Insert the wood chips, if you are using them. Start your fire. Aim for a temperature between 180 and 275 degrees Fahrenheit (82 to 135 degrees Celsius). Insert the meat on a rack or on multiple smoking racks.


This can be determined by your teacher if you're working on a math problem, or you can figure it out based on the context and the sets of numbers you're using. For example when rounding money, you'd most likely want to round to the nearest hundredth, or the nearest cent. When rounding off a weight, round to the nearest pound.  The less precise number required, the more you can round (to higher place values). More precise numbers should be rounded to lesser place values. If you're working with the number 10.7659, let's say you've decided to round the number to the thousandth digit, which is the 5 digit in the thousandths place, the third digit to the right of the decimal point. You can also think of this as rounding the number to five significant digits. So, focus on the digit 5 for now. Just look one digit to the right. In this case, you'll find a 9 next to the 5 digit. This number will determine whether you will round the 5 digit up or down. This is called rounding up because the number you were rounding to becomes greater than the original number. Your original digit, 5, becomes a 6. All of the numbers to the left of the original 5 will remain the same, and the numbers to the right of it will disappear (you can think of them as becoming zeroes). So, if you're rounding the number 10.7659 to the 5 digit, it would be rounded up to a 6, making the number 10.766.  Though 5 is in the middle of the numbers 1-9, it is generally agreed that the digit 5 will require a number before it to be rounded up. This may not apply to your teachers when they submit final grades, though!  Standard bodies like the NIST adopt a different method: When the rounding digit is 5, look at the digits to the right of it. If any subsequent digit is different from 0, round up. If all subsequent digits are 0 or there are no more digits, then round up if the rounding digit is odd and round down if the rounding digit is even. If the number to the right of your rounding place value digit is less than 5, the rounding place value digit will...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Determine the place value to which the number is to be rounded. Identify the place value that you will round the number to. Locate the number to the right of the rounding number. Round the rounding digit up one digit if the digit to the right is greater than or equal to 5. Round the rounding digit down if the digit to the right is less than 5.


This can be difficult when you have pain throbbing up and down your spine, as it may seem to come from every part of the back; however, with an injury there should be one main focal area. Press gently along your spine with your fingers, starting with the lower back and moving upwards. You may need someone to help you do this; some areas of the spine are difficult to get to.  Assess the quality of the pain — note whether it is dull and achy, sharp and stabbing, burning, or whatever other "descriptors" you would use for your pain. Keep a record of this for a few days after your injury to see how the pain progresses. To get a good baseline, rate your pain on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the worst pain you’ve ever had. After a few days, rate it again. You can do this every three to four days to see if you are improving. Research shows that this is a valid way to monitor your current pain.  If you do end up needing to see a doctor for your back injury, having information regarding the quality of the pain, and the progression of the pain (improving or worsening following the injury), can be very helpful in establishing a diagnosis and treatment plan. If you are in so much pain that you cannot walk or are finding it hard to feel your legs, get somebody to take you to the hospital. Do not try to take yourself there; if your back worsens and you find you cannot move you may end up stuck somewhere on the way, and you possibly may end up in danger. You may also want to seek immediate medical attention if you develop the following symptoms:  A feeling of numbness in the pelvis or lower back, and the area surrounding it. Shooting pains down one or both legs. Feeling weak or unsteady when you try to stand, or your legs suddenly giving way beneath you either when you are standing normally or bending. Problems with controlling your bowels or bladder. Assuming your back injury is not severe enough to warrant going to the hospital, allow yourself some rest time at home to see if your back pain improves. You may wish to...

Evaluate the initial injury. Be aware of "red flags" that warrant immediate medical attention. Be sure to rest. Avoid strenuous activity. Use ice and/or heat. Consider the duration of the injury. Opt for physiotherapy and/or massage. Look into a chiropractor or an osteopath. Adapt your sleeping situation. Pay attention to proper posture and lifting techniques. Ensure a gradual recovery plan. Check into worker's compensation if this applies to you.


This can be done a couple different ways, and it is very important to the structure of your pool.  Rent a transit to find a level area. Can be rented at most local equipment rental outlets. Use a long, straight board with a carpenters level on top of it to measure the levelness of the area. This is where the middle of you pool will be. It is easiest to measure off an existing object. A fence or swing set work as your existing object.  Measure from the existing object and mark where you want the edge of your pool. Using the tape measure, measure half of the width (the radius) of the pool from the marked edge. This is your center point. Stake the tape measure at the center point of the pool. This measurement won’t be exactly the wall of your pool, but it gives you a guideline for building.  Pull the tape measure to the radius measure of your pool plus one foot. Mark this on the ground all the way around your center point. Your pool cannot be installed on top of any grass. If you put it on grass, the bottom will be unstable and can shift or settle over time. A sod remover can be rented from your equipment rental shop and make this part of the job much easier. Once you’ve dug up your sod, rake over the area to clean it.  This will remove the remaining sod. Also the roots, rocks, or other debris that can be bad for your liner will be picked up by the rake. Once again, this is important to the base structure of your pool.  Dig down any high areas, rather than building up low areas. This will prevent the pool from settling over time. Your entire area should be within 1 inch of being perfectly level.

Ensure the ground is level. Find the center point. Measure the outline of your pool. Remove the sod. Rake the area. Double check to make sure the area is level.
