Signing up for a TED account is easy. Simply go to the TED site at www.ted.com and click on the "login" button at the top right. You will see a prompt directing you to either login or sign up. Click the button that says "sign up." You will need: Your first and last name. Your preferred email address. A password that is at least six characters long. Alternatively, you can sign up with your facebook.com account. Just click the Facebook logo. Once you've created a TED account, log in to the main TED site. On the top right is a drop-down menu called "participate." Let your mouse cursor hover over the drop down menu. One of the options is "translate." Click that option, which will take you to the TED translate page. When you have arrived on the TED translate page, click the button on the left side of the page that says "get started." At the bottom of the "get started" page, you should see a button that says "apply." Click this button. It will take you to the amara.org page. Amara is the platform that TED uses for translation and transcription. The application will ask you four questions, including: Why you want to translate/subtitle for TED. Something like "I want to translate for TED because I want to be part of a collaborative community and keep my language skills sharp" is fine. It will ask you to provide a description of your experience in the target language. For example, if you studied the language in school, were self-taught, or are a native speaker. The application also asks you to rate your language skills from 1-5, with 5 being the best and 1 being the worst. For the last question, explain how you learned about Amara. It doesn't look great for a prospective translator's application to be riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, so double and triple check to make sure that yours isn't. The TED translation team should get back with you within five days, so you won't be waiting long.

Summary: Create your TED account. Sign up. Fill out the application. Finally, proofread your application.

Measure 3in (7.6cm) past the corners of the window frame and make a mark with a pencil. Hold the hooks in place over your mark and mark where the holes will go, then place a screw in 1 hole and screw it in with a drill. Repeat this for each hole, making sure the holes are lined up over your marks, to secure the hooks in place. Installing the hooks 3in (7.6cm) past the corners of the window frame will allow the scarf to drape down over the sides of the window. Measure across the window with a tape measure from 1 side of the frame to the other and make a mark with a pencil right in the middle. Hold a scarf hook over the mark you made and mark where the holes will go, then screw it into place as you did with the corner hooks. You could install more than 1 hook above the middle of the window frame if you want to create more drapes in the window scarf. It is completely up to you and the style you want to end up with. Place the end of a tape measure at the top of the window in a corner. Measure from the corner of the window down to where you want the ends of the curtain scarf to reach. It is totally up to you and the effect you want to create to determine how long you want the ends of the curtain scarf to be. Stretch a tape measure across the window after you install the scarf hooks. Double this number so you get enough fabric to create drapes. If the window is 60in (150cm) wide, then double that to get 120in (300cm) for your 2nd measurement. Take the 1st measurement you got for the length and add it to the 2nd measurement you got by doubling the width. This number is how long a piece of fabric you need for your window scarf. If you want the window scarf to reach down 30in (76cm) from the top of the window on each side, and the window is 60in (150cm) from corner hook to corner hook, then get a window scarf that is 180in (460cm) long. Use fabric that is at least 22in (56cm) for a curtain scarf to create wide enough drapes. Find the center of the fabric and hang it over the middle hook first. Then hook the fabric over the 2 hooks in the corners and let the sides dangle down. If you have more than 1 hook in the middle, always start with hanging the center of the fabric over the center hook first so that each side is even. You can knot the window scarf around the corner hooks to secure it in place.

Summary: Install scarf hooks at both corners of the top of the window. Install 1 scarf hook in the middle at the top of the window. Measure the length of the window to decide how much fabric you need. Measure across the window from 1 corner hook to the other. Add the numbers together to determine the length of fabric to purchase. Hang the window scarf over the middle hook and the corner hooks.

Avoid walking alone as this may attract the bully. If there isn't anyone else around to walk with, take a path where there are a lot of people who will see if the bully tries to harass you. Most bullies won't approach a group of people. They want to make you feel bad or get a reaction from you. With friends there to support you, they know you're less likely to respond with the emotion they want. Bullies are less likely to pick on you, if they think they'll be the "odd man out." Sticking with your friends will discourage them from bullying you. Tell your friends about the bullying, and ask them to stick up for you in case the bully does approach. Don't put yourself in a situation where the bully will have an opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. Think about where you've come in contact with your bully in the past, and try to find alternate routes, shift your schedule, or change habits to avoid the bully. Don't let your bully dramatically impact your day to day life, but if you can easily circumvent the places you run into them, doing so may be the easiest way to avoid conflict. For instance, if you often run into the bully on your way home from a specific event, plan for an alternate route that won't take you past your bully. If you have to see your bully in a class, try to walk as far away from them as possible, and avoid sitting near them. If your bully frequents the same coffee shop or other public location, consider going at a different time of day. If they call you names, don't say anything in response. Most bullies are behaving in a harassing way to get a specific reaction from you. If you don't respond at all, they are more likely to lose interest. Not responding may also make the bully angrier, so make sure to read their responses and leave possibly hostile situations. This may be easier said than done. In some cases, the bully will not want you to walk away, and will continue to follow and harass you. If the bully tries to physically attack you, it is especially important to walk away because engaging in violent behavior will likely lead to you and your bully being in trouble. In some cases, you may even attract the attention of the police. Do what you can to remove yourself from the situation by simply walking away rather than engaging with the bully.
Summary: Stick with your friends. Avoid places where the bully hangs out. Ignore your bully. Walk away.
