[ "Search for a place near you that accepts wood for recycling. There are many ways to start looking for recycling centers, such as by contacting your local government or waste management service. Another way is to do a quick search online for recycling centers in your community. Try typing your address into a site like https://reusewood.org/.\nLook for salvage or demolition services to get rid of lumber and other construction scraps.\nWaste management services usually offer home pick-up for yard waste and small pieces of wood.\nLook for specialty recyclers that handle pallets, home goods, or other types of wood. <img> Remove any screws or nails left on the wood. Most facilities won’t accept wood containing these components. Pull them out before trying to submit the wood to a recycling service. Pull out nails with the claw end of a hammer and take out screws with a screwdriver. If you aren’t able to remove the fasteners, you may need to take the wood to a landfill instead. \nCheck the wood over to make sure it’s clean. Take apart any connected pieces so you can bundle it together after you ensure it is ready for recycling.\nSome places will take whole pieces of furniture and other items for recycling. For more information, check the rules of recycling services in your area. <img> Cut down large pieces of wood to submit for recycling. Use a handsaw to break down branches and other big pieces of wood. Wood usually needs to be no more than 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m) long and 6 in (15 cm) thick. Clear the cut wood of dirt, stone, and other debris. Finish by tying it into a bundle using twine or string.\nWood scraps from construction and demolition projects can be treated as yard waste and recycled as long as they are untreated and unpainted.\nIf you wish to save big branches for yourself, rent a wood chipper from a hardware store. Use it to make mulch.\nSubmit painted and treated wood whole, if possible, to avoid the hazards of cutting it. Furniture can also be difficult to dismantle, so try to find a place that accepts whole pieces. <img> Transport the wood or have it picked up by a recycler. If you’re able to get a pickup service, prepare the wood and set it outside. Otherwise, bundle it up and drive it to the recycling facility you chose. Talk to someone at the facility before unloading the wood and moving it inside. \nDuring a home pickup, you should sort the wood according to the recycler’s specifications. That usually means putting yard waste into a paper waste bag, then tying sticks and boards together. <img> ", "Take composite wood and flooring to a specialty recycling center. Not all recycling centers can handle this kind of wood. Wood like pressure-treated lumber, laminated panels, fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, and plywood all have to be handled with caution. If you’re unable to recycle or reuse the wood, you may need to take it to a landfill for safe disposal.\nTreated wood and composites can be cut as long as you’re wearing a respirator mask and safety goggles. This kind of wood can’t be burned safely, however.\nTreated lumber often has a green tint and smells oily. Particleboard and other types of wood will look normal, but the glue and wood dust in them are still toxic. <img> Strip painted wood before recycling it. Because of possible chemicals in the paint, painted wood cannot be recycled. However, you could change that by stripping the wood using a scraper and chemicals. Wear safety gear, including gloves and a dust mask, when working with chemical paint strippers.\nTo avoid having to deal with the paint, reuse the wood as is. Repurpose it or give it a fresh coat of paint.\nIf you don’t plan on reusing painted wood, you will need to dispose of it in a landfill. <img> Sort out different types of wood before taking them in for disposal. Make sure the wood is properly sorted and bundled according to disposal recommendations. Separate pressure-treated wood and laminates, for instance, in case they need to be disposed of separately. Also, set aside the wood you wish to preserve. Save untreated wood for reuse or for a sustainable recycling facility.\nTreated wood is typically labeled, so look for an ink marking like “KD HT.”\nIf you’re uncertain about what kind of wood you have, keep it separate. Try taking it with you to a recycling facility and asking if they would accept it. <img> ", "Reuse old boards that are still in good quality. Wood planks are very easy to recycle since they have so many uses. They can be used for building homes, furniture, and all sorts of other projects. Recycling centers almost always accept quality lumber, but you could also give it away to someone who needs it.\nSalvage boards from old buildings, for example. As long as the boards aren’t rotting or otherwise damaged, they can be recycled.\nIf you notice damage like rot or mold, cut it off. Throw away the ruined portion, then find a use for the scraps.\nPallets can also be taken apart or sent to a recycling center. Most places take the good parts and use them to make new pallets. <img> Use sawdust and wood chips in your home or garden. These types of wood waste have many uses and are worth saving. For example, sprinkle them on top of soil as mulch to protect plants. Also, use them to surround walkways and prevent weeds from invading. If you have animals, you could use the wood as bedding or to line flooring.\nWood chips make good bedding for small animals like hamsters. It also can be used to pad outdoor playgrounds.\nSawdust is great for absorbing spills. Sprinkle some over a fresh oil stain in your garage, for example.\nAnother option is to make compost and put it in a compost bin made from wood scraps. <img> Save old furniture to be used for other projects. Wood used for furniture is often high-quality. If you want to build something new, take apart the old furniture and save the wood for your next project. You could also refinish old furniture, such as by sanding it and filling in damaged portions with wood putty.\nRefurbishing furniture takes some effort, but it can save you money in the long run. You won’t need to worry about transporting the old furniture and buying new pieces.\nIf you’re not prepared to save furniture or another home good, keep in mind that recycling centers often accept them as long as they aren’t painted. However, reselling or donating them can be easier. <img> Resell or donate wood items you no longer plan on using. If the wood is in good shape, post a listing online to make a little bit of cash. You could also host a garage sale. Consider donating quality household items to secondhand stores or give them away instead.\nFor instance, save wood items like toys or utensils. Many household items are painted and can’t be recycled, but they can be reused by someone who needs them.\nTry donating goods to a charity like Habitat For Humanity. They also accept building material at their ReStores. <img> Burn untreated wood for fuel. If you have a fireplace or a wood stove, consider repurposing old wood by burning what you can’t otherwise use. You can save money on fuel costs by collecting wood you find outdoors. If you don’t plan on burning it yourself, take it to a biomass plant. Many plants accept wood donations to recycle into a cost-efficient energy source.\nWood chips and other untreated woods work well as a fuel source. For your own safety, avoid burning chemically-treated wood. Biomass plants also will not accept treated wood.\nThe ash from wood can also help your lawn or garden. Mix it into compost for a natural nutritional supplement. <img> " ]

[ "”JW” usually means “just wondering.” On Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media platforms, “JW” lets people know that you’re curious about a topic. It can be a casual, passing thought, or it can be an idea you’re really stuck on. Basically, “JW” is a quick acronym that can say you’ve got something on your mind with just two simple letters. Its tone can be silly, sarcastic, or even romantic.\n“Should I dress up as a zombie at my wedding? 👰🧟 JW. I think it’d be a good look!”\n“Do you really think it was a smart idea to talk back to the teacher? 🤣 JW.”\n“Would you…maybe want to go to prom with me? 💃🏽💃🏿 JW.” <img> Sometimes, “JW” refers to Jehovah’s Witnesses. “JW” can also be shorthand for “Jehovah’s Witness,” a follower of the religious sect, Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses is a Christian denomination with nearly 8.7 million members. A Jehovah’s Witness may use “JW” on Snapchat and over social media to talk about their faith.\n“I’m proud to be a JW! 🙂”\n“The JW Memorial is on April 15th.”\n“I feel so supported as a JW in my community. 💖” <img> ", "“JW” also means “just wondering” in texts. You can randomly message “JW” to a friend if you have a question or any general thought that crossed your mind. That way, they can reply with their own take.\n“Do you think I’d rock pink hair? JW. 🌸”\n“JW about how to write this paper. 🤔 The prompt is so complicated!” <img> “JW” is a way to discuss Jevovah’s Witnesses in texts. Use this quick abbreviation to chat about the religion or to bond with other followers of the spiritual path. Other Jehovah’s Witnesses will catch on quickly and share their thoughts.\n“Never thought I’d meet another JW in this city! 🙂 I’m glad we crossed paths.”\n“We have a small JW congregation, but it has a huge place in my heart.” <img> ", "Say you’re really curious right after you ask a question. Drop a “JW” and let your friends and followers know that you’re on the hunt for an answer. They’ll be more likely to think over what you’ve said and give an honest response.\n“Hey girls, do you think it’s a good idea to get back with my ex? JW.”\n“Is drinking coffee five times a day overkill? ☕☕☕☕☕ JW.”\n“Alright, team. Is a PC or an XBox better for this game? JW. 🎮 🖱️ ❓” <img> Explain that you just had a random thought. Add a “JW” to share a daydream or the way your mind wanders. Your buddies can have a spontaneous, aimless chat with you or laugh at how “out of left field” you can be.\n“Might go to the movies after work. 🍿 JW what I should do.”\n“A parrot would probably be a cool pet to have. 🦜 JW about how chatty they are.”\n“JW about why ‘hot takes’ are usually pretty lukewarm. 🐸☕” <img> Check in and see how a person is feeling. Express sincere care or sympathy with a “JW.” Let a loved one or friend know that they’re in your thoughts and that their well being really matters to you. They’ll be glad you took the time to pay attention to them.\n“Are you doing okay lately? 🫂 JW.”\n“JW…how’re you holding up after your finals? 📝 I know they were intense!”\n“JW why you didn’t make it to softball practice today! 🥎 Hope you’re alright!” <img> Ask if someone is free to hang out. Say that you’d like to know more about someone’s schedule with a “JW” and chat about logistics. Whether they’re a relative, a buddy, or a crush, they’ll know you’re happy to set time aside for them.\n“JW…do you want to hit the mall? 🛍️ I get off at 5 PM!”\n“JW, what’re you up to on Friday? I wanna check out the new froyo spot! 🍦”\n“So…JW…would you ever go out with me? 😏 We keep DMing back and forth!” <img> Talk about topics related to Jehovah's Witnesses. Discuss your faith with like-minded followers or open up about yourself with people outside of your religion. A “JW” allows you to casually talk about the spiritual path that’s dear to your heart.\n“Hey, JW buddy! I just moved. I’m looking for a new Kingdom Hall to attend.”\n“Love that we have a JW group chat! When’s our next Bible Study?”\n“I’m seeing a non-JW and we’re making our interfaith relationship work.” <img> ", "If you want to say \"just wondering,\" you have some fun options. Here are some emojis and acronyms to choose from if you'd like to share what's on your mind:\n🤔 (Thinking Face) = Express that you’re concentrating and deep in thought with this emoji.\n🧐 (Face with Monocle) = Imply that you’re skeptical or not totally sure with this cute symbol.\n🤓 (Nerd Face) = Celebrate how that you love looking into a topic with this bespectacled face.\nJAT = Just a Thought\nJMS = Just Making Sure\nJFTI = Just for the Information\nJWW = Just Was Wondering <img> " ]

[ "Suction cups form an airtight seal on an even surface. Flat surfaces of glass, acrylic, Formica, and stainless steel are all great places to make suction cups stick better. You can even make suction cups stick to plastic as long as it’s a hard surface. The suction cup is more likely to fall if the surface has any slight curves or textures since it could let air into the suction cup and break the seal.\nIf you’re trying to get suction cups to stick in the shower, try putting them on the glass door, a large tile, or on a smooth part of the acrylic wall.\nFor suction-cup phone mounts, avoid putting them on textured dashboards. Try mounting it from your windshield or on your radio display.\nSuction cups do not work well on porous surfaces, like untreated tiles, fabric, or rough, soft plastics. <img> ", "Use hot soapy water to remove dust that prevents the cup from sticking. Wet a soft lint-free cloth with warm water and add a dab of dish soap. Scrub the area where you want to stick the suction cup to lift up any dirt or built-up grime that’s on the surface. Rinse the spot clean with some water when you’re finished.\nIf there’s still residue stuck onto the surface, try using vinegar or rubbing alcohol instead since they’re harsher cleaners. <img> ", "Your suction cup is more likely to fall if water gets caught inside. Either wipe the area dry with a lint-free cloth or let it air-dry. If you try to press the suction cup down on top of the surface while it’s wet, it will leave air pockets once it dries and weaken the vacuum seal. <img> ", "Any residue or debris on the suction cup could make it slip. Whether you have an old or new suction cup, wipe it with a damp cloth and a dab of dish soap. Wipe the inside of the suction cup clean with the cloth and rinse it under warm water. Be sure to lightly pat the suction cups dry with a lint-free towel.\nFor any stuck-on residue, try scrubbing the suction cup with vinegar. <img> ", "The heat softens the suction cup so they press onto the surface easier. Fill a pot with enough water to fully submerge the suction cups and bring it to a boil. Take the pot off of heat and drop your suction cups in for about 30 seconds. Take them out with a pair of tongs and pat them dry on a lint-free towel.\nTry to use the suction cups right after you dry so they’re still warm and flexible. <img> ", "Lower temperatures cause air pockets to form inside of the seal. Once air pockets start to form, they weaken your suction cup’s bond with the surface. Wait for the air temperatures to warm up to make your suction cups stronger and get the best results.\nA good trick to keep suction cups on windows is waiting until warmer spring and summer months so outside temperatures don’t cause them to slip. <img> ", "A small dab of petroleum jelly forms an airtight seal. Dip your finger into a tub of petroleum jelly and spread a thin layer around the bottom of the suction cup. When you press the suction cup onto the surface, the petroleum jelly will fill in any gaps and keep water from getting in so you have the tightest seal.\nIn a pinch, you can use any hand lotion instead.\nPetroleum jelly works great to attach suction cups to glass. <img> ", "Silicone dries onto the surface and makes a water-tight seal. Silicone works best on surfaces like glass, hard plastic, and tiles. Get a small tube of waterproof silicone and apply it to the bottom of the suction cup in a spiral pattern. Leave a little free space around the edge of the cup to prevent the silicone from squeezing out.\nYou can buy silicone from your local hardware store. <img> ", "The suction cup will make better contact with the surface for a tighter hold. Hold the suction cup over the surface and push down. Press down hard with your thumb to try and make the suction cup flat against the surface.\nPushing against the edges could let air underneath the seal and weaken the suction cup’s hold.\nIf you used silicone and any squeezed out around the edges, quickly wipe up the excess with a damp paper towel. <img> ", "Using the suction cup right away could weaken the seal. Avoid hanging anything or applying pressure to the suction cup right after you put it up. Give the seal a chance to set so it holds firm and doesn’t fall down. <img> ", "Checking on the suction cup helps you catch it before it comes loose. If you want to make suction cups stick forever, you’ll have to check them every few days before they get too weak and fall down. Use your thumb to press down on the middle of the suction cup to get rid of any air bubbles that may have found their way inside.\nThis is called “burping” your suction cups. <img> ", "Frilled edges let in air and make suction cups fall down. The edges of a suction cup only form a tight seal if they’re flat against the surface. If you’ve tried reshaping your suction cups and the edges still lift up from the surface, it’s time to pick up a new one from your local hardware store. <img> " ]

[ "Yes, dating a divorced man can be worth it. Everyone has baggage, so don’t dismiss a great guy just because he’s been married before. He might want to take things slow, but that doesn’t mean he won’t fall for you. In time, most divorced men eventually remarry.\nBe open-minded about his divorce. If he seems like a great match, give him a chance. <img> Be cautious if he’s only separated, not divorced. Getting a divorce can take a long time, and some people feel ready to date before their divorce is finalized. There’s nothing wrong with this if everyone is okay with it. However, it may be more risky to date a guy who’s newly separated because there’s a chance he’ll go back to his marriage. If your guy is separated, look for these signs that he might go back:\nHe’s previously returned to his partner after a separation.\nHe blames his partner to justify dating you.\nHe can’t decide if he wants to be with you.\nHe talks about missing his old life with his partner. <img> ", "Yes, most divorced guys eventually commit to someone else. Men are actually more likely to get remarried than women after a divorce. At first, he may be hesitant to commit because his first marriage ended. You can help him see that the future's still bright. Remind him what makes your relationship different from his marriage.\nEveryone reacts to divorce differently. Some guys may swear off marriage at first, while others actively seek a new long-term relationship. <img> Look for signs he won’t commit to you. You don’t want to waste time dating a guy who won’t commit to you, and that’s totally understandable. Fortunately, his behavior can usually tell you a lot about his intentions. If he’s doing the following, he may not be ready to commit to you:\nHe prioritizes everything else in his life over you.\nHe often cancels plans with you at the last minute.\nHe refuses to meet your friends and family.\nHe won’t introduce you to his friends or family. <img> ", "He’s probably more mature than guys who’ve never been married. A guy who’s been divorced has built a life with someone, and may even have a family. Going through these experiences made him a different man. He’s got more experience than someone who’s never been married. Because he’s more mature, he’ll likely have a better relationship with his next partner.\nYou may feel let down that your guy planned a whole life with someone else. However, those dreams are in the past. If you fall for each other, the life he plans with you will be the one he wants. <img> He knows what it’s like to be in a long-term relationship. The truth is, maintaining a long-term relationship is a lot of work. He’s already proven that he’s willing to commit to someone. In some ways, that might be better than dating someone who’s only had short relationships.\nIf his marriage was super short, this might not be applicable. <img> He likely learned some lessons from his divorce. Instead of thinking of divorce as a bad thing, try to see it as a learning experience. Yes, things went wrong in his prior relationship. Hopefully, that experience will help him be a better partner to you.\nTalk to him about why his marriage ended. You could ask, “What do you think led to your divorce?” or “What caused you and your ex to drift apart?” This will give you some idea about what he might want to do differently in the future. <img> ", "He may have financial difficulties right now. It costs money to get divorced, and starting over can be expensive. Fortunately, his finances will likely improve fairly quickly. However, keep in mind that he may continue to pay child support and alimony for several years, depending on his divorce settlement.\nHe may not have to pay alimony if it’s not required where he lives. <img> It may take him time to open up to you. You may feel hurt by your guy’s refusal to share things with you. Try to be patient because it may take time for him to be ready to talk about how he feels. Men often struggle emotionally after a divorce. Hang in there because what you’re experiencing is normal.\nLet him know that you’re there for him when he’s ready. Say things like, “I’m here for you when you’re ready to talk,” or “I can understand why you don’t want to talk about that. If you change your mind, I’m always happy to listen.” <img> His children will come first, especially in the beginning. The hardest part of dating a divorced man is accepting his priorities. If he’s a father, he needs to be there for his kids first. Going through their parents’ divorce was super hard, and they need to spend as much time with both parents as possible. Make sure you’re okay with him prioritizing his kids before you fall for him.\nFor example, he may be unavailable during the times he has his children, such as every other weekend. Similarly, he may need to cancel plans with you if something comes up with his children.\nOver time, this may change. If you get married, your relationship may become the priority because it’s the foundation for your new blended family. <img> ", "Talk about your expectations up front. You might be nervous to ask him what he wants from your relationship, but it’s important to discuss this before you fall for him. Find out if he wants something serious or if he’s just dating around right now. Be honest with him about what you want, so you’re on the same page. Say something like:\n“I’m hoping to find someone to settle down with and start a family. I know you’ve been married before. Is that something you want again in the future?”\n“I know you’ve recently been divorced. That must have been so hard. I wanted to check-in with you to make sure things aren’t moving too fast between us. Are you looking for something casual, or are you open to getting serious down the line?” <img> Ask him how he’s feeling and listen. Be there for him when he’s feeling emotional about the changes in his life. It’s common for guys to feel anger, fear, anxiety, and grief over the loss of a marriage. He may not come out and say it, so gently ask him to open up to you. In time, this can bring you closer together.\nYou might say, “I know it’s been hard to be away from your kids. How are you handling things?” or “I know you were with Alex for 8 years. Do you want to talk about what happened?”\nIf he's been divorced for a really long time, you might not need to do this. Chances are, he'll be more open about his feelings if a lot of time has passed. <img> Take things slow. If you’re really into him, it’s only natural to want a hot and heavy relationship. After a divorce, however, he may not be ready for a committed relationship right away. To slow things down, spread out your dates and wait a few dates to become intimate. This might feel frustrating at first, but your relationship is actually more likely to last if you take your time.\nFor example, you might schedule a date night once a week during the first couple months of your relationship. Between dates, stay in communication by texting. <img> Let his children set the pace for meeting and bonding with them. You might be really eager to meet his kids. After all, they are a big part of his life. However, it’s important to wait until both your partner and his kids are ready for that introduction. Then, give them the time they need to get used to you.\nChances are, your guy will want to make sure things between you are serious before he introduces you to the kids. It may be weeks or months before you meet them.\nOnce you do meet the kids, just focus on having fun with them. They may be resistant at first, and that’s totally normal. Invite them on fun outings, like bowling, or play games with them. <img> Encourage him to get therapy if he’s still grieving his marriage. Getting divorced is extremely hard. It’s normal to experience a lot of pain and grief after leaving a marriage. Working with a therapist can help him process his feelings so he’s ready to be in a relationship again.\nHis grief doesn’t necessarily mean that he misses his ex. He had a whole life planned out, and now that’s gone. Things like losing your home or spending less time with your children are also painful losses. <img> " ]

[ "Unscrew the tank from the body of the vape to expose your coil. Every vape setup is slightly different, but in general, you can easily unscrew the tank from the bottom section. Hold the tank upside down and twist the tank off using your hands.\nIf there is juice in your tank already, you can use a paper towel to avoid getting your hands greasy. <img> Empty the tank of any remaining liquid. If there is any vape juice still in your tank, dump it out in your trash can. This way, you can replace it with fresh juice after you put on a fresh coil.\nIt is helpful to replace your coil with as little vape juice remaining as possible. <img> Unscrew your current coil from the base of the vape. The coil is also called an “atomizer head” or “replacement head.” You can use your hands or a paper towel to take off the coil. Twist the coil counterclockwise until it comes off of the bottom of your vape.\nA paper towel will help keep your hands clean. <img> ", "Pre-saturate your coil with 5-8 drops of vape juice. The cotton in your coil is brand new when you take it out of the package. If you place it directly onto your vape, it will start to burn. To avoid this, drip about 5 or so drops across the cotton from the vape juice bottle. Wait 30-60 seconds for the vape juice to absorb into the cotton.\nUse more or less juice, depending on the size of your coil.\nMake sure the coil you purchase is the right coil for your vape. Read your instructions to determine the type of coil or bring your tank to a local vape store. <img> Screw your new coil into place. Insert the coil into the bottom of your vape, and twist it clockwise until it is secure. The white cotton should face upwards toward your tank.\nYou want the coil to be tightly in place but not overly rigid. <img> Replace the tank after you put on the new coil. Once your new coil is in place, screw your tank onto the vape clockwise. You can now refill your tank with fresh vape juice. <img> ", "Replace the coil every 1-2 weeks on average. When you should replace your coil largely depends on how often you use it. Typically 1 coil lasts about 2 weeks.\nIf you use your vape very frequently, you’ll have to change the coil more often, potentially every week.\nIf you occasionally use your vape, you can go 2-3 weeks without changing the coil. <img> Change the coil if the vape juice tastes burnt or less flavorful. Take a hit from your vape and pay attention to the flavor. If it has a burnt aftertaste or if the flavor seems sour, it is time to change your coil. Over time the juice starts to clog up the coil.\nIf you use sweet, sugary juices, they may clog up your coil more easily. The sweetener essentially caramelizes on the coil as it heats up.\nAdditionally, if your coil looks brown or black, this is a sign that it is burnt and you should replace it. <img> Get a new coil if your vape produces very little vapor. Check the batteries on your vape to ensure they are fully charged. If the battery is not the issue, then small clouds of vapor are likely from the old coil. If this is the case for you, it is time to change your coil.\nTo check the battery, plug your vape into the charger. Then, look at the battery indicator to determine if it needs charging. <img> " ]

[ "Clean your brush after any residual polish has dried. If you try to clean your brush while the polish is still wet, it’ll just smear and spread around. Wait until it’s completely dry so that it’ll flake away easily.\nThis process is especially important for cleaning dauber brushes. Because they’re used to actually apply shoe polish, they tend to get a lot more buildup. <img> Buff the bristles on a chamois to dislodge residual polish. Use a light-colored chamois so you can see the polish transferring from the brush to the cloth. Simply move the brush back and forth over the cloth a few times until you see the polish coming away.\nA chamois is a kind of woven cotton often used to polish and shine shoes.\nDesignate a chamois for cleaning your brushes and keep using it until it’s completely covered in polish before switching it out for a new one.\nIf you don’t have a chamois, use a plain rag or towel. There’s no need to buy anything special! <img> Rotate the brush and buff the bristles in the opposite direction. Turn the brush and continue buffing it with the chamois. This technique ensures all that accumulated and dried polish comes away.\nKeep in mind that a clean brush won’t necessarily look “clean.” Brushes used with dark polish are going to have permanently-stained bristles. <img> Spray and buff heavily-clogged bristles with a wax softener spray. Purchase a wax softener made for shoe polish. Spritz the brush with the softener, then buff the brush back and forth on a chamois. Repeat as needed until the accumulated polish starts to come loose, and then let any remaining softener dry completely before using the brush to polish your shoes again.\nAlways follow the instructions on the wax softener to make sure you’re using it safely.\nIf you polish your shoes right away while the brush is still wet, the wax softener could mess up the polish on your shoes.\nThis method might be particularly helpful if you’ve been using your horsehair brush for a long time but haven’t cleaned it before. <img> Use dish soap and hot water for dirty brushes if you don’t have wax softener. Put a few drops of dish soap on the bristles and run them under hot water. While rinsing the brush, buff it back and forth on a chamois to help the polish soften and release from the bristles.\nIt’s not a great idea to use soap and water on your horsehair brushes too often because they can damage the bristles' natural texture. If you opt for this method, use it sparingly.\nSet the brush on its side on a towel and let it dry completely before using it again or putting it away. <img> Clean your brush after every shoe polish. It’s a super quick process, so don’t be afraid of too much of a time commitment! Adding a quick clean to your shoe care routine prevents buildup on your brush. That means it’ll be easier to shine your shoes each time.\nKeep your brushes in a clean, airtight container. This keeps them safe from dust, which could mess up the polish on your shoes. <img> ", "Clean your paintbrushes before the paint has a chance to dry. This is true for any kind of paintbrush, whether it’s synthetic or made of natural hair. Once the paint dries on the brush, it’s incredibly hard to remove. Make it a regular part of your painting routine to wash and dry brushes after each painting session.\nIt’s not enough to just put your brushes bristle-side down in a jar of water—that can actually do a lot of damage to the handle! Plan on washing, rinsing, and laying the brushes out to dry every time you clean them. <img> Wash water-based paint off your brushes with dish soap and water. Paints like watercolors and acrylics don’t need anything stronger than everyday dish soap. Though, if you prefer, there are special soaps you can buy from art supply stores that are made specifically for paintbrushes and these types of paints.\nThe benefit of buying a special soap rather than using dish soap is that some contain a conditioning agent. This can help restore bristles on natural-hair brushes and keep them in top condition for longer.\nIf you’re using latex paint, avoid using horsehair or any kind of natural-hair brush. The latex paint absorbs into the bristles, makes them swell, and ruining the fibers over time. <img> Use a solvent to clean oil-based paint off your paintbrushes. Turpentine and mineral spirits are popular options for oil-based paints. They can be quite abrasive, though, so plan on giving your brushes a quick rinse in soapy water afterward to give them some extra TLC.\nFor the rinsing-off process, use soap with conditioning or moisturizing agents. This should cut down on breakage from the harshness of the solvents over time.\nWhen working with harsh solvents, keep them away from open flames and heat sources. Work outside if possible, to protect yourself from the harsh fumes. <img> Swish the brush back and forth in a container filled with a cleaning solution. For water-based paint, a jar filled with soapy water works great. For oil-based paint, a jar fill with turpentine or something similar is perfect. Don’t jam the brush against the sides or bottom of the jar. Just gently brush it back and forth in the liquid until the paint starts to come free from the bristles. You could also use a brush comb for larger brushes to help work the solution through the bristles.\nFor oil-based paints, there are special jars you can buy made to simplify cleanup. They have a metal screen inside that traps the paint so you can use the same jar of solvent for multiple cleanings. <img> Rinse the brushes in fresh water once they’ve been cleaned. If you notice more color coming away from the bristles, give the brush a second treatment in the cleaning solution. You can use your hands to separate the bristles and make sure they’re clean; just make sure to wear gloves if you’re dealing with oil-based paints to avoid any accidental contact with residual paint.\nFor really big brushes, you may need to rinse the bristles several times to make sure you worked all the paint out. It can take a while, but it’s worth it, especially if you have nice natural-hair brushes. <img> Lay the brushes flat to dry after reshaping the bristles. Once the brushes are cleaned, use your fingertips to quickly and gently smooth out the bristles so they’re all pointing in the right direction. Then, lay them down on a paper towel or clean cloth and let them dry completely before storing them upright.\nDrying the brushes this way keeps water from dripping down to the handle, which can misshape the brush over time. <img> " ]

[ "Understand the different types of mineral rights. Generally, there are four types of mineral rights that you might own. They include:\nThe right to the oil, gas, or mineral deposits. This is the most expansive right to have. With this right, you can extract the minerals or contract with another party to extract them for you. You may own mineral rights in conjunction with the surface rights to the property, or you may own just the subsurface mineral rights (while someone else owns the surface of the land).\nA lease agreement to the minerals. You may have contracted for a lease. A lease generally lasts for a specific set of time. While the lease is in force, you have the right to enter the property and determine if there are suitable minerals. You may also mine the minerals for the duration of the lease.\nA right to royalties. You might have a right only to royalties on the sale of minerals, particularly when they are mined by another party operating under a lease. The lease agreement fixes the amount of the royalties.\nA combination of the above. <img> Identify why you want to transfer the rights. People can transfer mineral rights for a variety of reasons. One common reason is that you want to sell the rights to another party for money. You can sell the minerals or lease them to another party. Also, if you already have a lease or right to royalties, you may want to assign them to another party in exchange for money.\nAlso, people who do not sell their mineral rights may want to transfer those rights to their heirs in a will or a trust. In this way, they can make sure that specific people receive the mineral rights. <img> Confirm that you own the mineral rights. Before transferring the rights, you should confirm that you actually own the rights that you want to transfer. If you want to transfer rights to the minerals themselves, then you must confirm that you own them. Although you might own the land that sits on top of the minerals, you should check that the mineral rights were not separated from the rest of the land at an earlier time.\nTo search for mineral rights, you will have to search the chain of title. As you search, you will look to see if mineral rights were severed from the land and transferred to someone else before you were deeded the property.\nFor more information on how to perform a title search, see Find Mineral Rights.\nIf you are trying to transfer a right to royalties or a lease, then you should look for a royalty or lease agreement. If you cannot find them, then contact the party you contracted with. That person is probably the owner of the surface land. <img> Determine which minerals to transfer. You might own many different kinds of minerals on a plot of land. You can choose to transfer rights to some minerals but reserve to yourself the rights to other minerals. Think about which minerals you want to transfer and which ones you want to keep. <img> Seek the assistance of an attorney. You should meet with an attorney to discuss transferring mineral rights. A qualified attorney will be able to advise you on the best way to transfer rights. An attorney can also advise you regarding whether you should transfer mineral rights at all. Since mining for minerals might impact the surface of the land, you might decide not to transfer any rights.\nAn attorney can also help draft any legal document that you will need. If you want to add mineral rights to a will, then the lawyer can draft a codicil to your will. An attorney may also draft a lease and help you in lease negotiations, especially if you are negotiating with a large corporation.\nTo find an experienced attorney, you should visit your state’s bar association, which should run a referral program. Look for an attorney who specializes in either mineral rights or in oil and gas. If you cannot find any attorney with those specializations, then seek someone experienced in land use or real estate law. <img> ", "Transfer by deed. If you want to sell the mineral rights to another person, you can transfer them by deed. You will need to create a mineral deed and have it recorded.\nYou should check with the county Recorder of Deeds in the county where the land is located and ask if a printed mineral deed form is available to use. You can then fill it out with the necessary information.\nIf your county does not have a mineral deed form, then search on the internet for one. You can also ask an attorney to draft one for you.\nSign in front of a notary. You will need to have the deed notarized. There should be a notary at the Recorder of Deeds office. Be sure to bring sufficient personal identification, such as a valid driver’s license.\nRecord the deed. The Recorder of Deeds should then send copies to the person granted mineral rights by the deed. <img> Transfer by will. You can put mineral rights in your will. After your death, the rights will pass to the beneficiaries listed in the will. If no specific beneficiary is listed, then the mineral rights will pass to whoever is named the beneficiary of your residuary estate.\nTo draft a codicil to your will, see Write a Codicil. You are strongly encouraged to meet with a lawyer to look over your will and make sure that you have followed the proper formalities.\nIf you are interested in transferring your mineral rights to your heirs, then you should think about creating a family holding company and transferring the rights to the company, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a partnership. Because this is a complicated process, you should talk with an estate planning attorney. <img> Transfer with a lease. If you want to lease mineral rights to a third party, then you will need to create a contract. With the lease, you as the owner grant to the lessee the right to develop and produce minerals on the parcel of land that is leased.\nLeases typically include a “bonus” paid by the lessee to the owner when the lease is signed.\nLeases also typically incorporate royalty provisions, under which the lessee will pay the owner money made from the extraction and development of the minerals. Should no minerals be extracted, then leases often contain provisions for the payment of rent.\nOften, the lessee drafts the lease contract. However, if you are the owner and need to draft the contract, then consult with an attorney. The attorney can also help you value the worth of the minerals on your land, so that you can bargain for a fair royalty rate. <img> " ]

How would it show compassion and love for yourself? <img> ", "Realize it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. No one is too old or too established to reinvent him or herself. Change is a part of life and can be a positive thing if you use it correctly. Be prepared to grow and adapt at every stage of life. <img> Let go of the past. Ask yourself which aspects of your life are being influenced by past hurts, insecurities, and regrets. Once you identify those issues, commit to letting them go so that they no longer control who you are.\nWrite out the things that frustrate you, or that you think hold you back. Expressing your feelings can help you let go of anything unpleasant in your past. This type of list can help you learn about the skills you need to develop in order to feel fulfilled.\nRealize that whatever your regrets are, in some ways you are better off than others. Focus on your strengths and other positive things you take away from your past. <img> Learn from past mistakes. In order to reinvent yourself, it is important not to dwell too much on the past. However, there are often lessons you can take away from the past that can improve who you are in the present.\nAnalyze a relationship that ended painfully to determine what went wrong. Think about what you can do to prevent the same thing from happening in your next relationship.\nLook at which decisions led you or your family to make financial mistakes in the past. Based on this, work to develop a financial plan for the future that corrects these errors. <img> Choose one bad habit to break. Correcting bad habits is an important part of leaving the old you behind. It can, however, be very difficult and even intimidating. Instead of trying to change yourself all at once, focus on breaking one bad habit at a time.\nMake a list of the habits that really bother your. Narrow it down to the top few that you would like to break, then start by working on the most important one.\nFocus on the positive feelings that you first have when trying to break a bad habit. This can help you succeed.\nTry replacing a negative habit with a positive one. For example, if you have a habit of snacking on junk food, replace it with healthy snacks, or spend more time exercising. <img> Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. As soon as a negative thought about yourself or your life pops into your mind, try replacing it with a positive one. Doing so trains your mind to focus on possibilities instead of difficulties. \nConceptualize the things that cause you to feel stress. Think about how you have responded to them in the past.\nThen, actively replace negative thoughts about those stressors with positive ones.\nFor instance, a bad date might cause you to think something like, “I'll never find someone. There must be something wrong with me.” Correct yourself with something like “This date went poorly, but that doesn't mean the right person isn't out there waiting for me. I won't find that person unless I keep looking.” <img> Stop worrying about others' opinions. Your opinion of yourself is formed in part by your idea of how others see you. If you really want to redefine yourself, however, you'll need to become the person you want to be, not the person someone else expects you to be.\nYou also need to identify and step away from social pressure that comes from society itself. Society may hold certain expectations of you based on your race, gender, economic class, or religion, and these expectations can be just as restricting. <img> ", "Evaluate your priorities. Ask yourself which aspects of your life should be treated with the most care regardless of whether those aspects actually receive the care they deserve.\nCommit to rearranging the way you act out your priorities so that it matches the way you view those priorities in your mind.\nConsider classifying your priorities based on several categories: personal, financial, educational, etc. Then, rank these categories to decide what goal you most want to achieve. <img> Ask yourself which qualities you'd like to develop. Your personality develops continually, even in adulthood. Decide who you want to be at your core and identify the personality traits that version of yourself possesses in excess. These personality traits can be ones you already have or ones you've never demonstrated. Examples include:\nConfidence\nLeadership skills\nSelf-reliance\nEmpathy\nSelf-awareness <img> Make a plan. Return to the list you made of your frustrations and challenges. Focus on learning how to overcome those frustrations by first identifying the skill you need in order to excel. Then work on developing steps to achieve those goals. If you want to be a business executive, what will it take to get there? What skills will you need?\nYour plan might looks something like this:\n1. Buy a good professional business wardrobe, even for dress down days.\n2. Develop leadership skills by taking classes and/or reading books.\n3. Get your MBA and even a doctorate.\n4. Work on developing communication skills, either with reading or classes, including conflict management and resolution.\n5. Learn how to keep a cool head.\n\nUse this plan as a starting point. Research what it will take to develop those skills, and expand your plan further by adding more steps. <img> Spend a little time each day pursuing your goals. Once you set a goal, you actually have to make time to pursue it. Start immediately and consistently pursue your goal a little each day. If you manage your time well, you have a higher chance of meeting your goals.\nFor instance, you may plan to improve your health through exercise. Instead of telling yourself, “I'll start tomorrow” or “I'll start next week,” start today. Do a little exercise each day (say, for 15 minutes), even when you don't feel like it. That way, working toward your goal becomes an ingrained habit.\nLikewise, instead of wishing that you had more time to pursue your creative side, actually schedule time for it. Set a goal for the amount of time you want to dedicate each month to creative pursuits. Alternatively, set a goal for how much creative work you want to get done within a month regardless of the amount of time you spend on it. <img> ", "Step out of your comfort zone. Seeking out new experiences, people, and places is a great way to change yourself. By thinking and acting in new ways, you’ll be more creative and step out of your comfort zone. For instance:\nTry a cuisine you’ve never had before.\nVisit a new city or country.\nRead a book on a topic that’s unfamiliar to you.\nWatch a television program you’ve never considered before.\nPick up a hobby or skill you’ve always dreamed of having. <img> Pursue an old passion. Ask yourself if there are any dreams or passions you stopped making time for. If there are, renew your interest in them. You may rediscover a positive trait or skill that is worth keeping as you reinvent yourself. For instance:\nIf you once dreamed of becoming a chef, try taking cooking lessons, even if you no longer have any intention of switching careers now.\nIf you loved playing basketball when you were in high school, find an adult sports league you can join. You may make friends and rekindle some appreciation for dedication, fitness, and teamwork. <img> Meet new people and make new friends. The people in your life now are familiar with the current you and may or may not assist you as you redefine yourself into someone new. As you meet new people, tell them about the person you're trying to become so that they can help you stay accountable to your ideal.\nMake sure that the new people in your life have positive attitudes. It is much easier to pursue a new you when you're surrounded by positivity instead of negativity.\nRespect your family or current friends who can support you as you reinvent yourself.\nIn addition, you can reconnect with old friends, using social media, networking events, etc. Getting in touch with your past can sometimes be the best way to move forward. <img> Take a moment to reconnect each morning. As soon as you are awake enough to think straight, ask yourself if you are the same person today as you were the day before. Reflect on which parts of your self-definition are transforming into something better and which aspects still need a little work. Doing this in the morning can improve your health and make you more mindful throughout the rest of the day. <img> Move along at a steady pace. Understand that redefining yourself doesn't happen overnight. Try not to change everything all at once since doing so can overwhelm you and make you want to quit. Don't procrastinate, but don't rush yourself either. <img> " ]

[ "Pull into an empty bay and park your car. The bay is the area of the self-service station where you will be washing your car. Park your car in the center of the bay, leaving enough room to walk in front of your car.\nIf the car wash is busy, you may have to wait in line for your turn. Drive up behind any other cars waiting in line, and slowly pull forward as the cars move up. <img> Hang your floor mats on the provided metal clips. If your floor mats are made of rubber or plastic, take them out of your car and hang them on the bay with metal clips. If your car wash doesn’t have metal clips, simply set them against the wall so you can wash them later. Skip this step if your mats are made of carpet, or if you'd rather not clean them. <img> Insert coins or a credit card into the machine. Many newer machines work with a credit card, but older models might only take coins. Once you insert your money, the sprayer wand will be ready to go, so make sure you’re ready to wash!\nDifferent car washes charge different amounts, but in general, most of them charge about $1 per minute.\nIf you’re using a credit card, the machine will automatically charge the card from when you turn the machine on until you press stop.\nIf you’re using quarters, the machine will stay on for the amount of time you pay for. If the machine stops, you can insert more money to turn it back on again. <img> Set the dial to “Wash” or “Pre-Soak.” Head over to the machine that controls the settings of your spray wand. Near the bottom, you’ll notice a dial with about 10 options on it. To start, turn the knob to either the “Wash” setting or the “Pre-Soak” setting to get your car wet.\nUse the Pre-Soak setting if your car is really dirty. Otherwise, just stick to Wash. <img> Stand about 3 to 5 feet (0.91 to 1.52 m) away from your car as you wash. If you stand too close, the high-pressure stream can damage your vehicle. Keep a safe distance so you don’t scratch or mark up your car. <img> Rinse your entire car with water. Hold the spray wand away from your body, and squeeze the handle to release a high-pressure water stream. Take one full lap around the car, and spray down the entire vehicle to remove superficial dirt and debris.\nUse the spray nozzle to rinse your entire car, including the wheels, the mirrors, the undercarriage, and your floor mats.\nIf you're using the Pre-Wash setting, switch to Wash after you've made your first lap around the car. Once you've switched to Wash, take another complete lap before moving on to the next step. <img> Apply soap to your car with the spray wand. Turn the dial on the machine from Wash to Soap. When you pull the handle on the spray wand, a soapy stream will start spraying from the wand. Take another lap around your car to spray down your entire vehicle with the suds from top to bottom, including the tires and wheel wells.\nPay extra attention to the dirtiest parts of your car during this step, especially the crevices underneath the doors and the front grill. <img> Rinse the foam brush with the spray wand. Look around for the foam brush, which is near the service machine. Grit, sand, and mud might linger in the brush from previous use, so quickly change the spray wand setting back to Rinse, then rinse off the bristles of the foam brush.\nSome car enthusiasts prefer not to use the foam brush at all. Instead, they’ll bring their own sponges from home, and fill a bucket with soapy water from the machine to dip their sponge in. <img> Brush your entire car with the foam brush. Manual scrubbing will leave your car shiny and sparkling clean. Hold the foam brush by the handle and work from the top down, starting on the roof of the car and moving down to the body. Then, use the foam brush on the wheels and the wheel wells.\nGently flick the soap off of the foam brush every minute or so to dislodge dirt and grime.\nIf you’re using a sponge that you brought from home, the same theory applies: work your way from the top down, ending with your tires and wheel wells.\nDon’t forget to scrub your mats, too! <img> Apply tire cleaner to the wheels and tires. Head back to the service machine and turn the knob to “Wheel and Tire.” Use the spray nozzle to spray down your wheels, then scrub them with the foam brush for a deeper clean. <img> ", "Rinse and dry your car mats. It’s easy to leave your car mats behind, so don’t forget them! When you're finished scrubbing, trade the foam brush back for the spray wand, and turn the wand to the Rinse setting. Give the mats a final rinse, then dry them off with a paper towel or a rag that you brought from home.\nRinsing your car mats first gives them time to dry while you finish up with the rest of your car. <img> Use the spray wand to rinse all of the suds from your car. Take a lap around your car to rinse all of the soap from your car, working from the top down. It's best to work quickly to prevent a soapy film from developing on your car. <img> Wax your car for a shiny finish. If the wax setting is available at the station, set the spray nozzle to Wax and take a final lap around your car. This will help seal in the clean surface of the body while protecting the paint from dirt and salt.\nWaxing your car helps it dry faster, especially when it rains. <img> Rinse your car with a Spot Free Rinse. If you’ve added wax to your car, there’s one final step you need to do: rinse it off again. Set the spray nozzle to Spot Free Rinse to use filtered water. Then, rinse your car from the top down, being sure to get the crevices and the wheel wells as well. <img> Dry your car with the air dry nozzle if your car wash has one. Not all self-service car washes have a drying option, but some new ones do! If you’d like to dry your car quickly, set the nozzle to “Air Dry” and use the hose attached to the service machine to dry off your car.\nWork your way from the top down to gently push the water off your car.\nYou can also bring a microfiber towel from home and use that to dry off your car. Or, you can simply wait for your car to air dry once you drive away. <img> Press “Stop” on the service machine and replace the spray wand. At this point, you are finished using the spray wand, so it's time to return it to the place where you found it at the station. Press “Stop” on the service machine so it stops charging you money. <img> " ]

[ "”Go get em” is a way to offer encouragement. It’s a short, casual way of saying, “Go get them.” You'll probably hear people often use the phrase to inspire or support someone. Maybe they're encouraging someone before a job interview or sports competition.\nFor instance, you might say, \"Go get em!\" before a friend takes a test or competes in a soccer game.\nYou may also see the phrase spelled \"go get 'em.\" Don't worry—it means the same thing. <img> ", "Say “go get em” instead of “good luck.” If you’re trying to switch up the English phrases you’re using in conversation, just remember that you could use “go get em” in place of “good luck.” Be enthusiastic when you say it, so the person knows you’re wishing them well!\nFor instance, if you're writing a card for a colleague who's changing jobs, you could use \"go get em.\" This can make your card stand out from all the ones that simply say, \"good luck.\"\nIf you're talking to someone who's sharing their struggles about moving to a new place, you might say something like, \"I know it's challenging starting over, but you'll have so many new opportunities. Go get em!\" <img> Use \"go get em, tiger!\" to be a little more informal or playful. If you're pretty good friends with the person you're encouraging, you can be more casual. Add tiger to the end of the phrase to make it sound a little more fun or less serious.\nFor example, if your child is playing their first soccer game, say, \"Go get em, tiger!\" to get them excited about playing the match. <img> ", "No one's quite sure, but \"go get em tiger\" has been used since the 1960s. The most well-noted case of \"go get em tiger\" is from 1968 when the Detroit Tigers baseball team used the line in their theme song.

[ "Heat some oil in a frying pan. Use a steel pot or a pan with steep sides. The exact amount of oil you need depends on the volume of sorghum you’ll be popping. Typically, you’ll need two tablespoons of cooking oil for every ¼ cup (32 grams) sorghum kernels. Heat the oil on high until it appears shiny.\nCoconut oil is the most common type of oil for popping sorghum. It adds a buttery flavor and is very healthy. <img> Add your kernels. The amount of kernels you’ll need to add to the oil depends on how much oil you’ve put in the pan. If you’ve used only two tablespoons of oil, you’ll only be able to pop about ¼ cup (32 grams) sorghum kernels.\n¼ cup (32 grams) sorghum kernels makes about two cups of popped sorghum. <img> Reduce the heat. When you add the kernels, the range should be set to high heat. After adding the kernels, reduce the heat to medium-high. Do not cover the pan as you would when making popcorn. <img> Stir the kernels constantly. Use a wooden spoon to move the kernels around the pan. Continue stirring until the time between pops is about 10 seconds. Do not leave your sorghum alone while popping on the range. Failing to stir the kernels – and failing to stop stirring when most kernels have popped – will result in burning. <img> ", "Bag your sorghum kernels. Place ¼ cup (32 grams) sorghum kernels in a small paper bag. Roll the open end of the bag up tightly and fold it so it stays closed. Do not use a plastic bag, as it will melt.\nIf you wish to encourage popping, toss the kernels in a small bowl with a bit of melted butter or oil. Place the bag on a plate if you do this so you don’t end up with a greasy mess in your microwave. <img> Place your bag in the microwave. With your bag of sorghum closed, place the closed fold face-down in the microwave. Set the heat for two minutes. Check the sorghum after the timer expires. If a significant amount of sorghum remains unpopped, microwave it for another minute. <img> Remove the sorghum from the microwave. As your sorghum pops, it will make an audible sound. When the sound of popping sorghum falls to a frequency of less than once every few seconds, take your sorghum out and pour it into a bowl.\nYour sorghum should not need more than three minutes to pop. If it does, consider increasing the strength setting on your microwave. <img> ", "Choose the right popper. Because sorghum is lighter than popcorn, hot air poppers will generally not work for popping sorghum. Some hot air poppers, however, are acceptable. If your hot air popper blows air up and out of the machine, do not attempt to pop sorghum with it. If your hot air popper blows hot air in a circular pattern within the machine, use it to pop sorghum.\nCheck your hot air popper’s user manual to determine if popping sorghum is possible.\nAlternately, you could cover your hot air popper with a mesh net of the sort used when steaming vegetables. This will prevent your sorghum kernels from escaping the hot air popper, even if it is of the variety that blows hot air up and out from the center. <img> Let the hot air popper run for two minutes. This will give the hot air popper time to warm up. If you add sorghum kernels to the hot air popper before it’s warm, the kernels will dry out and be unable to pop properly. <img> Add your sorghum kernels. Turn your hot air popper off and sorghum kernels in a volume that is appropriate for your hot air popper. Turn the hot air popper on and listen for the sorghum to start popping. When popping slows to once every five seconds or so, turn the machine off and dump the popped sorghum into a bowl.\nDifferent hot air poppers have different limits. Check your user manual for information regarding what an appropriate weight or volume of sorghum kernels might be in your device.\nYou may see a bit of smoke even when your sorghum is popping within the prescribed times. Monitor the sorghum and remove it from the hot air popper after popping slows. <img> ", "Top with sea salt. Sea salt is a common topping for popped sorghum. Transfer popped sorghum to a large mixing bowl and add about one teaspoon sea salt per four cups (32 grams) of popped sorghum.\nSea salt has the same basic nutritional profile as regular salt, but it is less heavily processed. <img> Use nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is a yellow powder with a nutty flavor. It contains vitamin B12 and other B-complex vitamins. Don’t apply nutritional yeast too liberally, though, since unlike salt and most other sorghum toppings, it adds calories. <img> Make a cheesy mix. You could sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over your popped sorghum to give it a bit of the cheesy, nutty taste that Parmesan possesses.

[ "Start with your actual name or nickname. Your name is a good place to start, even if the final product doesn't resemble your name at all. Try making a play on your first name, last name, or nickname, such as a pun or a reference to a fictional character with a similar name.\nFor example, if your name is Carl Benson, you could try something like CarliB (a play on Cardi B). If your name is John and you love Beyonce, you could (and definitely should) be BeJohnce.\nYou could also add some stylized characters, such as X's or numbers, in or around your name. For example, XxIzzyxX or 10Danny01.\nKeep in mind that anyone you play on Xbox Live will be able to see your name. For security reasons, don't use your full real name in a way that could out your real-world identity. <img> Include your favorite Xbox game or character. If there's a specific game you love, consider referring to it in your name. Obscure character references will also get you noticed by those in-the-know. You can also try something less on-the-nose like a place, weapon, or event.\n\nExamples: If you love the Halo series, you might try MstrChief3K, MrNeedler, CortanaLvr99, or 31337Hammer. <img> Reference your favorite hobby or interest. Video games aren't the only things in the world that interest you, so they don't have to be the only things in your name. Draw on your wide range of skills, hobbies, and interests to think of an idea. You might reference a band you're a fan of, your dream car, a line from your favorite movie, or something else entirely. It's all up to you!\n\nExamples: If you're a musician, you might try names with music terminology like TrebleKill33, BassicInstct, Bad2Trombone, BFlattened, and so on. <img> Go for an intimidating name. Intent on completely wrecking your competition online? Let other players know that you mean business with a name that calls attention to your lethal skill with a controller. Go for a name that sounds scary, deadly, or diabolical—just keep in mind that hate speech and offensive content are banned under the XBox Live terms of service.\n\nExamples: Obliter8r9, MsJennyDeath, NoobsBeware, KillerJoe, etc.\nAnother way to give your competition the jitters is not to outright say that you plan to destroy them. Instead, suggest it. Names that imply some sort of mysterious or suspicious quality are quite popular as Gamertags. Sometimes, it's all about what you don't tell your enemy. Try names like InDaShadows, Ninjitsu765, UnseenDoom, or BehindYou. <img> Make a joke or pun. Your Gamertag doesn't have to be grim or serious. In fact, having a more light-hearted one can make you seem more approachable to other players. This can be good when you're working with teammates toward a shared objective. Names that make someone laugh at first sight are always a good bet. Since you're working with a limited number of characters, quick puns are often easiest.\n\nExamples: ChrisPBacon, CubaBaddngJR, TheOtherGuy, HeyYou (so that when people talk to you in-game, it's confusing.) <img> Try a name generator. If Post Malone can go platinum with a name he got from a rap name generator, you could definitely use a generator to create your Gamertag. Although Microsoft has a 12-character limit on Gamertags, you can usually shorten longer results by removing vowels or other characters.\nThe Pun Generator comes up with puns based on a word you enter. Try entering your name, an actor, a game character, etc.\nThe Rap Name Generator takes your first name (or any name you enter) and turns you into the next rap star.\n\nMy Mob Name gives you a new name straight out of a Mafia movie.\n\nRandom Username Generator lets you create a totally random username if you'd like, but you can also specify other preferences, like topics and starting letters. <img> Include your clan membership. In online games, clans are \"clubs\" that avid gamers can join to play with people they know. Often, players advertise their clan membership by putting the name of their clan at the beginning of their username. This can also help you get a name that's already taken — odds are, the version with the clan name at the front is free.\nFor example, if you're in the \"Fyre\" clan and you want the name \"Lazr33\", you might advertise your membership like this: \"FyrexLazr33\"\nClans will often have instructions on exactly how to format your Gamertag to advertise your membership. Be sure to follow the directions! <img> Use another language. All you need is a few words of a non-English language to give yourself a Gamertag that's unique in English-language games. You have a few options here. One is to translate a cool-sounding name that's already taken into another language. You can also try using the language's equivalent of your real name. You can even just find a word that you like the look of.\n\nExamples: If you're a fan of bears, you might try 77Urso77 (\"Urso\" is \"bear\" in Portuguese) or XAyiX (\"Ayi\" is \"bear\" in Turkish).\nUse Google Translate to translate other words into the language of your choice. <img> Be random. There's no rule that your name has to make sense. In fact, the more random your name, the less likely that it's already taken. Try combining two words that have no connection or using a random adjective to describe a word you happen to like. The more creative, the better!\n\nExamples: GrandmaFox, OceanPillar, PantsSale, Seven8Six. <img> Check the availability of your new name. Before you go to the trouble of logging in and making a Gamertag for yourself, check to see if it's already taken. There are a few sites that allow you to do this online. A basic search engine query should reveal several, but here are a few to get you started:\nhttps://www.gamertag.net\nhttps://www.xboxgamertag.com\nhttps://www.gamertagnation.com/tools.php?do=gtchecker <img> ", "Don't make a Gamertag with offensive language. All players agree to follow the Xbox Code of Conduct when they sign up for Live. The Code contains certain rules about offensive language in Gamertags. If you choose a Gamertag that violates the Code, Microsoft will change it to an automatically-generated one. The Code's definition of \"offensive language\" includes:\nCurse words\nSexual topics\nWords like \"Gay,\" \"Bi,\" \"Lesbian,\" and \"Transgender\" are okay to use.\nNotorious people or organizations\nHate speech (e.g., racist/sexist slurs)\nControversial religious topics\nControversial historical figures or events\nSensitive current or past events <img> Don't try offensive \"sound-alike\" names. Even if your Gamertag isn't technically offensive, your account may still be probated or banned if your Gamertag tries to get around the rules with words that imply offensive concepts. It's usually obvious when a user is trying to \"cheat\" the Code of Conduct, so these sorts of names are almost always a waste of time.\nFor instance, the name \"Adolf Hitler\" would be prohibited under the rule against controversial historical figures. However, a name like \"Ad0fhtlr\" would also be prohibited, since it's clearly referencing the same person. <img> Don't buy or sell Gamertags. No matter what Gamertag you use, make sure it's your own. The buying and selling of Gamertags is against the XBox Live Code of Conduct. In these cases, both the seller and the buyer may be subject to penalties or bans.\nIf someone already has a name you want, use the tricks in the section above to find a name that's close to it. Don't try to buy or steal the name. <img> Don't impersonate or defame anyone else. Picking a name that's intended to cheapen another person's name, whether that's through imitation or personal attacks, is off limits. This extends to other players, moderators, game developers, and Microsoft staffers.\nImitating authority figures like moderators and staff members is a tactic commonly used for scams. If you do this, even if you have the best intentions in mind, it can still earn you a ban or probation. <img> " ]

[ "Precede a list with a colon. Connect a full sentence with a list using a colon. The colon sets off your information, making it easy to sort. Consider these examples:\n\"I went to the store and bought a lot of fruit: peaches, apricots, grapes, kiwis, and nectarines.\n\"You're missing everything: the pre-game, the party, and the afterparty.\" <img> Set off a noun or noun phrase with a colon. Colons can be used to join a full sentence with an explanatory noun, proper noun, or noun phrase. Use this to place a lot of emphasis on the noun.\nYou can write, \"My nightmare revealed to me my deepest fear: solitude.\"\nAnother example could be, \"The clouds broke to pour sun down on her favorite place in the world: her father's rose garden.\" <img> Introduce a lengthy quotation. To quote a full sentence or more, lead with a colon. Don't do this if you are only quoting a few words. Proper usage might include any of the following:\n'In her poem \"Houses,\" Laura Riding described the difference between lined and unlined panes of glass: \"Windows give up their secrets, not mirrors.\"' <img> ", "Join a sentence with another that explains it. Colons can be used to connect full sentences that are related. When the second sentence serves to explain the first, they can be connected with a colon. Here are some examples:\n\"Golf is more than a sport for me: it is an essential networking practice on which my business depends.\"\n\"I gave him my number: I wanted to see him again.\" <img> Amplify a statement. Connect two full sentences with a colon if the second sentence serves to extend, or amplify, the first.\nFor instance, you could write, \"Reading books makes me happy: reading in the morning fills me with a joy that illuminates my entire day.\" <img> Introduce a conclusion. Connect a sentence that introduces a problem with another sentence that provides the conclusion. A colon may also imply that the second sentence is the result of the first.\nFor instance, you could say, \"The teacher finally decided what to do with her rowdy class: she added a ten-minute playground break before storytime.\"\nAn example of an implied connection might be, \"We brought too much bread to the picnic: the birds were very happy.\" <img> ", "Capitalize after the colon in certain cases. When you use a colon to connect two full sentences, you can capitalize the first letter of the second sentence or not. If you are writing a paper in a certain style, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, or AMA, you must follow their guidelines.\nDo not capitalize the first letter of the second clause if it is not a complete sentence.\nDo not capitalize the first letter of the second clause if you are writing a paper using MLA or AMA formatting, unless it is a proper noun.\nDo capitalize the first letter of the second clause when using APA formatting.\nWhen using Chicago formatting, capitalize the first letter after a colon only if it introduces two or more sentences. Example: \"Masha had three options: She could cry. She could yell. Finally, she could pretend that nothing had happened.\" <img> Do not use a colon after an incomplete sentence. A common colon error is to use the colon to introduce a list of nouns after an incomplete sentence. Sentences that include common mistakes sound abrupt and disjointed:\n\"His list of goals was: go to Europe, fall in love, and get on TV.\" <img> Use colons only to connect related sentences. Complete sentences that do not have a clear causal or thematic connection should not be connected with colons.\nIt would be incorrect, for instance, to write this: \"I would have to go to the store in an hour: winter in Minnesota is cold.\"\nA correct usage might be, \"I would have to pick up a solid coat: winter in Minnesota is cold.\" <img> Don't use a colon where a semi-colon should be. When you are connecting two full sentences that are of equal weight, a semi-colon will serve you better than a colon. A colon draws attention to the clause that follows it, while the semi-colon does not.\nFor instance, it would be incorrect to say, \"The TV is next to the bookcase: the couch is flanked by two end tables.\" This is because the second clause does not explain, amplify, or answer the first.

[ "Park your car in an area with no vegetation and keep the engine running. Try to stop your car in an area without flammable debris or brush, like trees or grasses. Park in a dirt area, driveway, parking lot, or empty side road. Keep the keys in the ignition and the engine on, since it might not restart after the fire if you turn it off.Park behind a solid structure or building, if possible. This can reduce your exposure to the fire’s heat, which is the greatest danger when you’re trapped in your car. <img> Turn on your headlights and hazard lights to make your car more visible. You want any firefighters or rescue teams around to be able to see your car and help you, if possible. Keep your headlights on even after you’ve stopped driving, and turn on your hazard lights as well for an extra signal. <img> Roll up the windows and close the air vents. Make sure every window is completely closed. Shut your doors and close or block your air vents, and set your air conditioner to recirculate. You want to prevent smoke from getting into the car, as best you can—it can irritate your eyes and make it difficult to breathe, especially as the fire gets closer.\nClosing the windows can also help to keep out the heat. <img> Lay on the floor of your car after you pull over. Lay out on the floor of your car, below window level. Getting close to the ground and away from windows can help protect you from radiant heat as the fire gets closer. <img> Get under a blanket or coat to protect exposed skin. If you have a wool blanket or coat, use it to cover up your body as much as possible. Wool doesn’t catch on fire as easily as other fabrics, so it can protect you if the fire breaches your car. You can also place cloth over your nose and mouth to help you breathe.\nDon’t use a coat or blanket made of synthetic fibers. These can melt and cause severe burns.\nDon’t use a wet cloth or blanket. The heat from the fire will create steam that could burn you. <img> Drink water while you shelter on the floor. Keeping your body hydrated can help you withstand the heat of the fire. After you’ve gotten down on the floor, drink any water or liquids that you have, splitting them between people if you’re with others.\nBe careful not to spill any water on your clothes or blankets. <img> Keep calm and still as the fire passes through. Stay in your car as the fire front crosses. Be prepared for the temperature to rise dramatically and for the car to get smoky. The outside of the car may catch on fire and be rocked by air currents. Stay as calm as you can—you need to stay in control, and panicking will only make the situation worse.\nAs tempting as it might be to get out of the car and run, you won’t be able to outrun a wildfire. The car is the safest place for you right now. <img> Get out of the car once the fire has passed. After the fire front has passed by, wait for the temperature outside and in the car to drop. Get out of the car carefully and move to an area that’s already been burned. The air will still be smoky, so keep a cloth over your face to breathe through. Once you’re in a safe area, call 911.\nIf your car is still working, drive it away from the fire to a safe area.\nCover your hands with a wool cloth or blanket before you touch the doors or handles in your car.\nA burned over area can be smoky or ashy, but the fire won’t move through there again. <img> ", "Try to drive your car away from the direction of the fire. Drive in the opposite direction from any visible smoke or flames. If you know or can see the direction the fire is moving in, try to drive away from it as best you can.\nCheck social media and the news for any information about where the fire is and where it’s heading. Your local fire department and news stations, in particular, might be posting important information on where to evacuate to. <img> Have a backup route in mind in case the road is blocked. Your main evacuation route might get blocked by other cars or debris from the fire. Have a backup plan in mind in case you need to reroute yourself.\nUse a GPS app to avoid traffic and evacuate as quickly and safely as possible. <img> Drive slowly and turn on your headlights and hazard lights. Make your car as visible as possible to other drivers in the smoky conditions. Keep an eye out for pedestrians or livestock. Collisions are a major hazard in poor driving conditions, and people and animals might be panicking and running on the road.\nIf you’re worried that people or animals are nearby but you can’t see them, use your horn.Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth and turn up all the windows to protect yourself from the smoky air while you drive. <img> Listen to the radio for information about where the fire is heading. Turn on the radio and have another person in the car check online and on social media for updates on the fire. Is it growing in a new direction? Have the winds shifted at all? This is valuable information that might cause you to change course and could save your life. <img> Pull over if you see flames approaching your car. If your way becomes blocked or you can see the fire moving towards you, pull the car over to a safe area, away from flammable materials like trees or brush. Look for a parking lot, driveway, dirt clearing or a rocky area to park your car in.\nAs a last resort, you can stop your vehicle in the middle of the street, which is a hazard if a car approaches from behind, but is still safer than pulling over into a wooded area. <img> " ]

[ "Let your pipe cool down. If you intend to clean it right after smoking, give it a chance to cool off. Wait for all parts to be safe enough to touch. Avoid burning yourself and/or dropping and breaking your pipe. <img> Empty its contents. If cleaning right after use, make sure all flames have died out before proceeding. Then dump any ash or other contents in the pipe’s bowl into the trash. Next, empty the spent water from the base into the sink or toilet. <img> Take the pipe apart. Take the bowl out of the base. If the pipe has a washer, remove that, too. Also detach any other additional parts that it may have. These could include: \nAdditional parts that may be removable may include percolators, ice catchers, and coils. <img> Inspect pieces for damage. As you disassemble your pipe, check for flaws, like chipped or cracked glass and rubber. Replace damaged pieces rather than just clean them to keep your pipe safe and effective. <img> ", "Rinse the pieces in the sink. Give each one a few passes under running water. Wash away any loose ash, resin, or other materials. Make the cleaning solution that you’ll be using momentarily that much more effective by giving it less stuff to get rid of. <img> Add salt to the base. You'll be bagging each individual piece in a moment, and then adding salt to each bag. However, keep in mind that the base is much bigger than rest, and simply adding salt after you bag won't ensure that any reaches the base's interior. So pour some into the base now before you bag it. <img> Bag each piece individually. Place each one in its own sealable, watertight plastic bag. Do not combine multiple pieces in one bag. You’ll be shaking these up soon, so don’t risk banging glass pieces together, since this will damage them. However: <img> Add rubbing alcohol and salt to each bag. Fill the bag with enough rubbing alcohol to completely immerse the piece inside. Then add enough salt to cloud the liquid slightly. Err on the side of too little salt, rather than too much, since too much will result in clumps that may cause blockage in various pieces.\n70 to 91% isopropyl alcohol is usually sufficient. However, extremely dirty pipes might require 100% acetone or nail polish remover.\nAs an alternative, you can also try mouthwash, since its aftertaste is far more pleasant than any that might linger from rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. <img> ", "Soak very soiled pieces. If tons of resin have built up over time, give each affected piece time to absorb the cleaning solution. Let them soak in the alcohol for up to an hour, or even longer if necessary, before proceeding. Give the resin’s bond a chance to break apart and weaken. <img> Shake each bag vigorously. First, double-check the bag’s seal to avoid spills. Then shake each bag hard for 30 to 40 seconds, or even longer if needed. This will shake the loosened resin free, and also cause the abrasive salt to scratch away at the more stubborn bits. <img> Empty and rinse lightly soiled pipes. If desired, pour the solution from each bag into a sealable container for reuse in the future. Then, as long as your pipe wasn't too dirty to begin with, take each piece and rinse it under hot running water if your pipe was only slightly dirty at the start. With the base, pour water in through the mouthpiece so it drains out of the hole(s) at its bottom to avoid unpleasant aftertastes where youre lips will touch it. <img> Soak very dirty pipes in a container. If your pipe was very soiled at the start, don't rinse it off in the sink. Instead, fill a container with hot water and submerge each piece to rinse them off. Then empty the dirty water into the toilet and flush. Avoid using the sink’s drain, since resin is more likely to stick to these pipes and cause future clogs. <img> Repeat if needed. Once you’ve rinsed off each piece, give it a look over. Expect it to possibly need more than one bag-and-shake if it had a lot of resin to start. If the inside of the base and its tube appear particularly dirty, try:\nPlugging its holes with cotton balls or similar materials, adding salt and rubbing alcohol to it directly, and shaking it vigorously with your hands covering all openings. <img> Wipe away residue. Inspect each piece for any crud that may have clung on during rinses. Soak q-tips in rubbing alcohol and use these to remove them. If these are too short to reach inside any piece, improvise by attaching cotton swabs or balls to a chopstick or something similar. <img> Put your pipe back together and rinse. Once everything is cleaned to your satisfaction, put all your parts back into place. Give it a final rinse under hot running water. It may seem like overkill, but this will reduce the chance of any unpleasant aftertaste. <img> " ]

[ "Learn about real estate investing. In order to invest in real estate successfully, you should research the subject thoroughly and be well-versed in how the market functions. There are multiple ways to invest in real estate, and you will need to evaluate your goals and finances to decide which option is best for you.\nReal estate is \"an interest in land\" (and anything permanently attached to land). This means that the real estate market is essentially about buying and selling land and buildings. There are two types of \"interest\" at work in real estate: ownership and leasehold. \"Ownership interest\" is taking full control of and responsibility for land and buildings, and \"leasehold interest\" is the granting of certain rights to a tenant in exchange for rent payment.\nThe most common form of real estate investing is purchasing ownership interest in a property and then earning money from rent paid by tenants. <img> Identify your tolerance for risk. There are two main markets when dealing in real estate. These are the private and public markets. Any investing is risky to some extent, but each market has its own level of risk.\n\nPrivate real estate involves the purchase of an ownership interest in \"real\" (as opposed to \"personal\") property. You or a property manager would then operate that property and you would earn money on rent paid by tenants. This is a very direct way of investing in real estate because you, as the owner, are responsible for the property.\n\nPublic real estate involves purchasing shares of a publicly traded real estate company. Often these companies take the form of investment trusts. You buy shares on the market and are paid dividends as the trust collects rent and value from the multiple properties it owns. Because you only own shares in the company, you are not responsible for the real estate. This is a less direct approach to investing. <img> Decide between equity and debt. Both the public and private markets operate on equity and debt. As an investor you pick which of those you would like to invest in.\nIf you are investing in debt, you lend money to someone so that they can buy interest in a property. You earn money in the form of interest payments on a mortgage.\nIf you are investing in equity, then you are investing in ownership of the property. This means you are assuming all responsibilities for the operation of the land and buildings. <img> Choose the real estate sector you want to invest in. The four sectors are public equity, public debt, private equity, and private debt.\nIf you choose public equity, you will want to look at investment trusts. If you choose public debt, you should investigate mortgage securities, which are the debt equivalent of investment trusts, where various mortgages are bundled together to form a single investment.\nIf you select private equity, then you will most likely be purchasing residential or commercial property and acting as a landlord. If you choose private debt, you will invest in private mortgages. <img> Learn about real estate trading. This is a variation of private equity investing, also known as flipping. The goal is to purchase a property and then turn around and resell it at a higher price.\nThese investors try to resell their properties as quickly as possible to minimize their costs of ownership.\nMost flippers will make no improvements to their properties, as they can be expensive and time-consuming. Instead, they bank on the market being favorable to them so that they can resell their unaltered property at a profit.\nA longer-term flip will see the investor improving the property in an effort to increase its value on the market. This form of investment can be labor-intensive and involve significant expenditures. Many such investors will own only one property at a time. <img> ", "Examine your portfolio. Investing in real estate is typically viewed as a portfolio enhancer, an investment that complements stocks and bonds. Used as part of a larger investment plan, it can add stability to your income. <img> Evaluate your assets. Real estate investment can require a significant amount of capital, even beyond the price of the purchase. Ask yourself if you can afford to keep your investment if the market turns bad.\nSince real estate is a tangible property, it will require maintenance and upkeep. While this is normally covered by rent paid by tenants, there may be times when there are no tenants to occupy the property, meaning that the costs will fall to the owner. <img> Know that flipping a house can get expensive. If you decide to go into real estate trading, you have to be prepared for the worst. In the year that it might take you to renovate and sell, the market could take a dive and you'd be stuck with mortgage payments while you wait for it to sell.\nMake sure that you have the capital to commit to a potentially long-term project.\nResearch the ins and outs of house flipping before getting involved so that you minimize unforeseen expenses. <img> ", "Make a plan. Decide where and how you want to invest. Take your plan to an accountant or investment broker. Go over the plan with a financial planner. Make sure that everything is accounted for. <img> Learn to rely on other people. A good real estate investor will not hesitate to enlist the aid of other professionals in order to ensure that the entire process goes smoothly. The type of team you will need will vary depending on your investment.\nYou may need a mortgage broker, an accountant, a property manager, a real estate lawyer, a home inspector, and an insurance broker <img> Work with a good real estate agent. If you want to invest in real estate, you'll find it invaluable to use an agent experienced in the field of investment properties.\nFind an agent who can help you shop for ideal investment properties. Interview several different agents before choosing one. Discuss your goals and your investment plans. A good agent can show you properties that fit your investment strategy. <img> Talk to mortgage brokers. Your real estate agent should be able to recommend lenders. Talk to your local banks and credit unions about mortgage financing.\nFind out what the brokers, lenders, and banks can offer in terms of interest rates, closing costs and payment terms. Ask about your financing options and choose the mortgage that best fits your budget and investment strategy. <img> " ]

[ "Keep an eye out for eye contact. Eye contact is one of the most powerful things in all of body language. Someone can use their eyes to communicate a lot of things. If someone's making eyes at you, it means he's interested in you in some way. If you see a longer pattern of eye contact, there's a chance he fancies you.\nYou might try catching him looking at you. It's natural for someone to look in the direction of his crush, especially when he thinks no one is watching. If you're in the same room and you're not talking yet, look over occasionally to see if he's making eyes at you. If he's shy, he'll probably avert his gaze. If he's confident, he'll usually try to hold eye contact with you. <img> See if your crush smiles at you. Like eye contact, smiling can say a ton without someone needing to speak a word. Where eye contact usually just means interest, a smile is usually given to show warmth and affection. Keep an eye out if he smiles at you when the two of you are around each other.\nIf you want to test it, try making eye contact with him. If he smiles back at you, it's a good sign he's interested.\nSome people are very shy and will feel too embarrassed to smile at someone, especially if it's someone they're attracted to. <img> Notice any affectionate touching. Light touching is often a clear form of flirting. This includes a light touch of the arm or waist, or even an extended hug. While friends may already touch often, there's an added coyness when the touching is meant as flirting.\nBetter still, you can try to touch your crush lightly and see how he reacts. If he seems to like it or feel embarrassed, it's a potential sign he's into you. <img> Watch if he tries to make himself look good around you. Body language is the main unconscious way we show attraction for other people. Whether they mean to or not, people will shift their body language to show how they feel. If you run into your crush suddenly, try to see if he changes anything quickly about his body language. This might show that he's specifically interested in you.\nMen and women use different types of body language to show attraction. In the case of men, they often try to make themselves look as big and confident as possible. This includes pumping out the chest and putting one's hands on his waist.\nWomen show attraction in more sensual ways. Smiling, hair twirling and coyness might suddenly start up if you end up running into your crush. <img> Ask yourself if he goes out of his way to be near you. A natural urge when you fancy someone is the desire to be around them as much as you can. Whether you go to work or school together, or have met in a more casual setting, someone who is attracted to you will often make very obvious attempts to be around you, even if he thinks he's being sneaky about it. <img> ", "Open up the possibility to talk about personal subjects. If you're on a regular speaking basis with the person you're wondering about, a conversation will offer lots of opportunities to figure out what he feels towards you. One thing that people who are interested in one another do is often make the conversations more intense, at least moreso than you would find in a casual talk. Personal information, secret fears and painful experiences could come up in a conversation where people are interested in one another. Bring the conversation to more of these intimate subjects and see how he responds. If he seem interested in making the conversation intimate, it's a sign that he's interested in you. <img> Flirt. If you're interested in someone who isn't giving off the right signals, you should try flirting with him. Flirting includes a wide range of behaviour that is meant to show you are attracted to someone. If you are interested, chances are you're already showing some of the signs without knowing it. Smiling in his direction, holding (or averting) eye contact, laughing, compliments and gentle teasing all count as flirting.\nIf your crush responds to the flirting with flirtation of her own, it is a probable sign that he is interested.\nOf course, if your crush is already flirting towards you, this is an even clearer sign of attraction. Keep your ear out for gentle teasing and compliments towards you, especially when those compliments are geared towards things that someone would normally be attracted to, such as your looks or charm. <img> Tell jokes and gauge how he reacts. Laughter and humour is one of the more casual ways a person can express interest in someone. If you are the sort of person who likes to be funny, try to gauge how the person you're curious about reacts to your jokes. Someone who fancies you will laugh a lot more at your humour than if he wasn't interested at all. As a bonus, humour is an attractive quality, and even if someone isn't interested in you yet, knowing how to make you laugh will attract potential partners fast.\nOn the other hand, a total lack of laughter can suggest the person is not interested in you at all. Beware of those who don't laugh. <img> Time how quickly he replies to your messages. In the age of online communication, the way someone acts towards you online can say a ton about the way he feels towards you. If you two are talking via social media or talking over text, you should notice how quickly he gets back to you in a conversation. If it's relatively fast, it may be good sign that he fancies you in a more-than-friendly way. Keep in mind that some people may be very busy on the computer and won't get back to you as fast as you think. Depending on how fast your crush is making other posts online, you should be able to figure out how busy he is at the moment.\nHe might be playing hard to get if he takes a long time to reply to your texts. <img> Ask your crush directly. At last, when all other routes are exhausted, there is always the option of asking someone directly how he feels about you. In many cases, a guy or girl will make their feelings known in other ways, making a direct question unnecessary. However, if you're tired of waiting and need confirmation, it's a straightforward and simple solution.\nIt doesn't need to be elaborate. Just ask something as simple as: \"I get the feeling you're attracted to me. Am I right in thinking that?\"\nIf someone is easily embarrassed or shy, you might not get a straight answer out of them at first. This is why it's better to ask it in the middle of a conversation rather than going straight up to the person and asking abruptly about it. <img> ", "Make sure he's not interested in someone else. Although single people may find themselves attracted to multiple prospects at once, finding out whether someone has a crush already can be a big indicator as to his availability. Find out through friends, or keep an eye out for the way he behaves towards people of the opposite sex. <img> Get a friend's opinion. Everyone is always observing other people's behaviour, whether they mean to or not. If any of your friends know your crush, you should ask them what they think about any potential attraction your crush may have towards you. Even if you are very observant, another person will see things from a different perspective, and may have something to add.\nA mutual friend is a great help if you're not sure about the person in question. A friend can offer her opinion on whether she thinks the two of you would be a good match or not. <img> Ask his friends if they have heard anything. If someone fancies someone, there's a chance that it will come up in a casual conversation between friends. If you want a more definite answer but aren't ready to ask your crush directly yet, you should ask his friends what he thinks of you. Sometimes, they may tell you word-for-word what he's said about you. Other times, they might simply give a theory. In either case, it may give you a better idea if a particular someone fancies you or not.\nBe warned that some friends may tell your crush that you asked in the first place. If you're trying to keep your curiosity a secret for the time being, this may be a risk.\nGenerally speaking, girls tend to talk more about their attractions and love lives than guys. However, the same advice can apply to both genders. <img> Find out what his friends think of you. Groups of friends tend to have a herd mentality in some cases. In other words, what your crush's friends think of you will influence what he thinks of you. If his circle of friends is really into you, it's easier to imagine him liking you as well. On the other hand, a circle of friends that doesn't seem to care about you might suggest he feels the same way they do.\nIt is not recommended to ask anyone directly what they think of you. Many people would rather lie and be polite than risk an uncomfortable interaction. Instead, you should try to ascertain how they feel by observing their reactions to you. Are they making any effort to include you in the conversation? Are they actively listening to the things you're saying, or asking you sincere questions about yourself? It can be difficult to know what someone is really thinking if you have just met them, but you can usually get a general idea by looking at the behaviour of a few friends. <img> Pay attention to the way he treats you around his friends. Even if there are often friendships between genders, someone will undoubtedly treat their crush differently around his friends than he would with a regular friend. If he seems really interested to introduce you to friends, it's may be a sign that he's testing the limits for a potential relationship.\nIf he seems to ignore you around his friends, it is not a good sign. Although some people will feel nervous about showing affection around their platonic friends, there should always be a basic level of respect at work.\nIf he's trying to include you in the conversation or activity and has no problem showing affection in front of his friends, it may be a sign that he has a potential interest in you for a relationship. <img> " ]

[ "Avoid making a big commitment until you're sure it's a healthy dynamic. In the first year or so of a relationship, you're really just getting to know your partner. This is the time when you should really be evaluating whether or not you're a good fit for each other. Give yourself time to really get to know this person before you fully commit to them, like moving in together or agreeing to marry them. During that time, pay close attention to the following red flags:\nDisrespectful behavior or speech\nAngry flare-ups\nDishonesty\nMoving too fast\nBreaking up and getting back together frequently\nThreats of violence or self-harm if the relationship ends\nPressuring or forcing you to do sexual things you're not comfortable with\nPhysical violence (make this an immediate dealbreaker) <img> ", "Addressing them early on will let you know if things can be fixed. If you notice something in your relationship that seems troubling, open up and talk to your partner about it. It can be hard to bring up unpleasant subjects, but in the long run, talking about your concerns can help you create healthier boundaries in your relationship.\nTry to share your thoughts in a kind and loving way, and be patient and actively listen when your partner talks. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to resolve conflicts calmly.\nIt's a big red flag if you feel like you can't talk to your partner about any of your concerns. If they regularly shut you down when you try to talk about problems, it's probably a sign the relationship isn't healthy and you should leave. <img> ", "Speaking from your own perspective can make your partner feel less defensive. If something is bothering you, it doesn't help much to point the finger at your partner. They're more likely to shut down, and nothing will get resolved. Instead, share your feelings with \"I\" statements to give your partner insight into why it's important for you.\nFor instance, instead of saying, \"You never help me with the dishes!\" you might say, \"I sometimes feel frustrated when I have to do all the dishes myself. I was wondering if we could find a compromise that works for both of us.\" <img> ", "Make it clear early on what is and isn't okay. While all relationships take some compromising, there are some things that should be non-negotiable for you. These might be things like not being lied to, the other person following through when you make plans together, being exclusive with each other, not being yelled at, and so on. Communicate these clearly to your partner. If they make a habit of disrespecting those boundaries, that's a huge red flag and you should leave the relationship.\nFor instance, you might say, \"It's really important to me to spend time with my sister. It's embarrassing and upsetting for you to call me over and over while I'm there, and I'm not okay with that. If it keeps happening, I can't be with you.\"\nIf someone acts in a way that's abusive, communicating your boundaries may not be enough. It's best to leave these situations as early as possible so things don't escalate. <img> ", "It's not a good sign if your partner asks you to be someone else. Maybe they want you to dress differently around their friends, laugh a little less loudly at your favorite comic, or change your job. These are huge red flags! Your partner should love you for exactly who you are, and if they don't, it's probably time to leave the relationship.\nAlso be wary if your partner asks you to quit hobbies or activities that you enjoy.\nIt's fine if your partner asks you to compromise on little things, like not clipping your toenails over the carpet or not leaving dirty dishes in the sink. However, they should never ask you to change the core of who you are. <img> ", "Calmly explain that you know they lied and you won't accept it. If you catch your partner lying, it can be really upsetting, but it doesn't help to blow up. Instead, have a calm discussion where you let them know you're aware that they were dishonest, and talk about how that makes you feel. While one instance of lying might not be enough to end the relationship, it is a big red flag. If it turns into a pattern, you should leave.\nFor instance, you might say, \"One of my friends texted me a picture of you at a party Saturday night when you said you were at home studying. I'm really hurt that you felt like you had to lie to me about that. We can't have a healthy relationship if you lie.\" <img> ", "It's unhealthy for your partner to make all the decisions. They shouldn't try to tell you who you can spend time with, what you should wear, or how you should act. If you notice behaviors like this, speak up and let your partner know that you expect an equal role in the relationship. If you confront it early on and stand your ground, you may be able to curb controlling behavior. However, some people have a tendency to control their partners, so you may need to end a relationship where this happens.\nThis dynamic can quickly become toxic. If it doesn't change after one or two instances, it's best to get out before the problem becomes worse. <img> ", "An abusive partner may try to stop you from seeing them. They might try to make you feel like you're \"choosing\" your loved ones over them if you try to see them. This is a really unhealthy dynamic that's only likely to get worse over time. If you notice this, firmly make it clear that spending time with the people you love is important to you, then make and keep dates with them as regularly as possible.\nIf this turns into an ongoing issue with your partner, it's probably best to end the relationship.\nKeep in mind that if your partner only has concerns about your relationship with one person, it's not necessarily a red flag. Still, they should never tell you who you can or can't see. <img> ", "It can help to acknowledge when they're making an effort. They might not get it right on the first try. However, if you can tell that they're trying to change, it may be worth being patient through the process. Let them know you appreciate the effort that they're making, even if it's not exactly what you're looking for. That will help encourage them to keep trying, and things should get easier over time.\nFor instance, if your partner normally shuts down instead of communicating, tell them how much you appreciate their effort if they share something that's bothering them, even if they said it in an abrupt way.\nIf your partner has been reluctant to commit, let them know it means a lot to you when they introduce you to a close friend—even if they're not ready for you to meet their parents yet. <img> ", "A third party can give you both perspective on the problem. It can be hard to overcome relationship red flags on your own. If you're arguing a lot or you're having trouble trusting each other, it can help to talk to a trained relationship counselor. They'll help mediate your conversations so you can really understand where the other person is coming from. <img> ", "If nothing changes after you talk about it, move on. It's fine to try setting boundaries and talking about your feelings, and these can have positive outcomes in a lot of cases. But they shouldn't necessarily be long-term, ongoing conversations. If you've raised your concerns and they don't seem interested in making a change, or if they get defensive whenever you bring up their red flags, it's a toxic situation and you should leave.\nFor instance, if they refuse to compromise or you catch them being dishonest, it's a good idea to consider leaving.\nYou should also leave if the relationship feels constantly negative or draining. A healthy relationship has more good than bad!\nIf your partner is making an effort, it's okay if things don't turn around right away. If they stop trying, though, you may be better off on your own. <img> ", "This includes verbal, emotional, and physical abuse. There are a lot of red flags you can try to work through, but abuse isn't one of them. If your partner is calling you names, putting you down, pushing or hitting you, or showing any other signs of abusive behavior, leave the relationship as soon as you feel safe doing so.\nIf you need to, ask your family and friends for help, or contact law enforcement and let them know you need someone to be present while you gather your things to leave.\nYou can also contact a hotline for resources and advice. For instance, in the US, call National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788. <img> " ]

[ "Decide the perspective of the monologue. The monologue should be from the perspective of one character in the play. Focusing on the point of view of one character can help to give the monologue purpose and a distinct character voice.\nYou can write a monologue for the main character to give them a chance to speak on their own, or for a minor character to give them a chance to finally express themselves. <img> Determine the purpose of the monologue. Consider what the point of the monologue is, as it should serve a key purpose within the rest of the play. The monologue should reveal something to the audience that cannot be revealed through dialogue or character interaction. This could be a story, a secret, an answer to ongoing questions in the play, or an emotional release by a character. Your monologue should serve a clear purpose and act as a revelation for the speaker.\nThe monologue should add tension, conflict, or emotion to the rest of the play and give the audience new insight into an existing issue or problem.\nFor example, if there's a character who has been mute during the first act, they could have a monologue in the second act where they reveal why they are mute. <img> Decide who will be addressed in the monologue. You should determine who your speaker will be talking to or addressing in the monologue so you can frame the monologue with the audience in mind. The monologue may be addressed to a specific character in the play, the speaker may be addressing themselves, or they may be addressing the audience.\nA monologue can address a specific character, especially if the speaker wants to express their emotions or feelings to them. The character can also express their thoughts or feelings about an event for the audience's benefit. <img> Consider the beginning, middle, and end of the monologue. A good monologue will have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Like a mini-story, the monologue should also include a clear shift from the beginning to the end, where the speaker has a revelation or a realization. Your monologue should begin and end with a purpose.\nCreate an outline that includes a beginning, middle, and end for the monologue. Note what will occur in each stage of the monologue.\nFor example, you may write: “Beginning: Elena the mute speaks. Middle: Elena tells us why and how she became mute. Ending: Elena realizes she prefers staying silent to saying her thoughts out loud.”\nAlternatively, write the first and last lines of the monologue, then create the content between them to generate ideas and thoughts for the monologue. <img> Read other monologues. You can get a better sense of structure for your monologue by reading monologues in other plays. These monologues have been written with the larger play in mind but they can also stand on their own as contained dramatic pieces. Several examples include:\nThe Duchess of Berwick’s monologue in Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan.\nJean’s monologue in August Strindberg’s Miss Julie.\nChristy’s monologue in John Millington Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World.\n“My Princesa” monologue by Antonia Rodriguez. <img> ", "Start the monologue with a hook. Your monologue should get the listener’s attention right away and draw them in. You want to hook your audience so they are willing to listen to your character’s monologue. The opening line of your monologue will set the tone for the rest of the piece and give the audience a sense of the characters voice’s and language.\nYou may start the monologue with a big revelation right away, such as Christy’s monologue in John Millington Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World.\nChristy's monologue tells the audience right away that the speaker killed his father. It then discusses the events leading up to the murder and how the speaker feels about his actions. <img> Use your character’s voice and language. The monologue should be written from the perspective of one character and should feature their unique language and voice. A strong character voice in a monologue can go a long way to adding color, interest, and perspective to the piece. Use your character’s voice when you write the monologue and include any slang or particular phrasing they might use.\nFor example, the “My Princesa” monologue is written from the perspective of a Latino father. He uses terms and sayings that are specific to him, such as “whoop his ass” and “Oh hell naw!” These make the monologue engaging and add character detail.\nAnother example is The Duchess of Berwick’s monologue. Wilde uses the character’s casual, conversational tone to reveal the plot and keep the audience engaged. <img> Allow your character to reflect on the past and the present. Many monologues discuss the present action of the play by reflecting back on past events. You should strive to have a balance between reflection on the past and discussion of the present in your monologue. The past details should illuminate an event or character dilemma in the present. The character should try to use memory to address an issue in the present.\nFor example, in his monologue, Christy addresses his father's murder by reflecting on past choices and moments that may have lead to his pivotal decision. <img> Add description and detail. Keep in mind your audience will not have the luxury of flipping to a visual image of what is happening in the monologue. All they can rely on is the words you use in the monologue to describe a certain moment or a certain detail. You should try to tie in as many of senses as you can in your monologue so the audience becomes immersed in the events in the monologue.\nFor example, Jean’s monologue opens with striking images of his childhood, “I lived in a hovel provided by the state, with seven brothers and sisters and a pig; out on a barren stretch where nothing grew, not even a tree...”\nThe details in the monologue help to paint a clear picture of Jean’s childhood hovel. They also add to his character and help the reader get a better sense of his past. <img> Include a moment of discovery. Your monologue should include a moment of discovery or a revelation. This could be a moment of discovery for the speaker or a moment of discovery for the audience. Having a revelation in the monologue will give it purpose. The revelation should also up the stakes of the play so it contributes to the play as a whole.\nFor example, in his monologue, Christy reveals that his father was not a very considerate person or a good father. He explains that he did the world a favor by killing his father. <img> Have a button ending. The monologue should have a clear ending or a button ending, where the thoughts expressed in the monologue are brought to a conclusion. The speaker should accept something, overcome an issue or obstacle, or make a decision about a conflict in the play. The decision moment should be clear and the speaker should speak with decisive action by the end of the monologue.\nFor example, in his monologue, Jean reveals that he tried to kill himself because he was born too low to be with Miss Julie. He then ends the monologue with a reflection on what he learned about his feelings for Miss Julie. <img> ", "Cut down the monologue to the essentials. An effective monologue will not be too long or expansive. It should include the essentials of the monologue and hit the reader with just enough information to move the play forward. You should read over the monologue and revise it so it does not seem long-winded or overdone.\nRemove any redundant lines or awkward phrases. Cut out any words that do not add to the character’s voice or language. Include only the essential details in the monologue. <img> Read the monologue out loud. A monologue is written to be read out loud to an audience so you should test its effectiveness by reading it out to yourself or to a sympathetic audience. You should listen to ensure the monologue has a distinct character voice and uses language that suits the speaker.\nNote moments where the monologue is confusing or verbose. Simplify these areas so the monologue is easy to follow for the listener. <img> Have an actor perform the monologue for you. If possible, you should try to find an actor who can perform the monologue with you as the audience. You may ask a friend to perform the monologue or hire an actor. Getting a professional to read your monologue can help bring it to life and allow you to revise it for the stage. <img> " ]

[ "Hold the ball as you would a fast ball. Take your normal stance and prepare for your run-up. Position your index and middle fingers to either side of the middle seam. Your thumb should be to the inside of the same side of the seam as your pointer finger.\nWhen gripping the ball to throw a fast ball, the joints of your fingers should wrap around the contour of the ball to hold it away from the palm of your hand.\nDon’t let the yorker’s reputation as a difficult throw put you on edge. Relax. Take a few breaths. A smooth, consistent throw will improve accuracy. <img> Take aim. Really narrow your focus on a feature somewhere around the batsman. Fix your gaze on the crease line or the base of one of the stumps. You might even find it useful to focus on a feature of the batsman, like their toes. Lock your eyes here for the duration of your delivery. \nBy training yourself to focus on a particular point, you’ll limit variables that could affect your delivery. This will allow you to devote more attention to other areas, like form.\nAn ideal yorker will land as close to the batsman as possible while still bouncing before crossing the crease. Envision yourself completing this throw to improve accuracy. <img> Adjust the pace of your run-up. Slowing things down a bit might be just what you need to nail your target. But the opposite can also be true. Try a slower and quicker than normal pace for your run up when bowling a yorker. Test each to see which works best for you.\nIn some cases, your normal bowling speed might be your most accurate pace. Accuracy is everything when bowling a yorker. <img> Drive with your shoulder as you throw the ball. The motion for throwing a yorker is much the same as a normal fast throw, but the shoulder of your bowling arm is especially crucial when delivering a yorker. While delivering, drive your shoulder in the direction of the bottom of the stumps.\nDriving with your shoulder will improve the fullness and speed of your yorker. Take time to practice this motion intentionally. <img> Throw the ball so it lands close to the batsman. Try to get as close to the batsman as possible. Ideally, the ball will land right before the batsman’s feet. This provides little time for him to dig out the ball and hit it into play.\nPlace your feet so you are well balanced at the moment of release. Doing so will have a positive effect on your accuracy. <img> Practice frequently and adjust your form as necessary. Small adjustments can make a world of difference. Try to only adjust one aspect of your throw at a time so you can isolate and improve problem areas. Have a coach or a teammate watch and comment on your form. \nRecord a video of yourself throwing yorkers on your phone. Compare this to YouTube videos of yorkers thrown by cricket professionals. Imitating the pros might improve things. <img> ", "Bowl a yorker towards the end of close games. The yorker can give you an advantage in a pivotal moment. Delivering a yorker properly lands it on the batsman’s feet. Batsmen have practically no time to react to this kind of throw and dig out the ball. <img> Use a variety of throws so opponents are unprepared for a yorker. Remember, the yorker is your ace-in-the-hole. If your opponents are on guard for your yorker from the start, it could cost you later on when you need it the most.\nUsing a variety of throws has the added bonus of improving your odds of a successful throw.\nTo improve variety, you might try bowling inswingers, outswingers, and throwing balls with offspin. <img> Save yorkers for when you feel confident. Especially during a big game, you might want to hold off on attempting a yorker until you’re well-practiced and confident in your ability. Nerves could turn your yorker delivery into an easy hit if you’re not careful. <img> ", "Set aside a block of time to drill yorkers during practice. It’s easy to over practice bowling and strain your arm, so break frequently and allow your arm time to recover in between practice sessions. To keep yourself from overdoing it, try practicing with the following maximum limits:\nPlayers age 10 to 13: 12 yorkers/practice\nPlayers age 14 to 15: 14 yorkers/practice\nPlayers over 16: 20 yorkers/practice <img> Drill yorkers toward the end of practice. Yorkers are most commonly bowled at the end of games, so you may be tired in the moment you need to bowl a yorker the most. To give yourself the best chances of delivering a perfect yorker in tired-out condition, save yorker drills for the end of practice.\nEncourage yourself when practicing yorkers by rewarding yourself with one fewer lap run at the end of practice for every good yorker thrown. <img> Perfect your speed and delivery. Try to start and end your run-up in the same position every time. When you take your final bound, keep it consistent and controlled. Have you tried snapping your wrist when you release the ball? This can add some heat to your yorker. <img> " ]

When the 25 seconds are up, take the dough out of the microwave. <img> Flip the dough over and microwave it for another 25 seconds. Ensure that all the dough is covered in plastic wrap before microwaving it again. When the time is up, remove the dough from the microwave and place it on a clean work surface. <img> Remove the plastic wrap and inspect your dough. Tear off the plastic wrap and put it in the trash. Look at and touch your dough to check how frozen it is. It should still feel cool to the touch, but it shouldn't be hard.\nIt's also unlikely that the dough will have risen a significant amount. <img> Microwave the dough on defrost for 3 to 5 minutes. The defrost setting will evenly defrost your dough.\nGenerally, a smaller amount of dough will need around 3 minutes to defrost in the microwave and a larger amount of dough will take closer to 5 minutes to defrost. <img> Leave the dough out at room temperature for an hour to rise. Once your dough is finished defrosting in the microwave, take it out and place it on a work surface. Leaving it out at room temperature will give the dough plenty of time to properly rise.\nOnce the dough has risen enough, place it in the oven and bake it as per the recipe. <img> ", "Squirt cooking spray on a bowl or baking pan. Make sure that your cooking pan or bowl is large enough to support the dough once it rises to twice its frozen size.\nUse cooking spray you bought in a store or fill a spray bottle with your favorite type of oil. <img> Place the dough in the pan and cover it with plastic wrap. Coat the plastic wrap first with your cooking spray to make sure the dough doesn't stick to it when it rises.\nWrap the plastic tightly around the dough to ensure it's properly heated when it's put it in the oven. <img> Put the pan in the oven at 100 °F (38 °C). If you have a gas oven, put the heating on the lowest gas mark. Some ovens have a \"bread proofing\" setting, which will set the temperature to 100 °F (38 °C). This temperature is the perfect heat for defrosting frozen dough. <img> Take the pan out of the oven after 1 hour to test it. When the time is up, put on oven gloves and remove the pan from the oven. Take the plastic wrap off the dough and inspect it to see if the dough has fully defrosted and risen. <img> Put the dough back in the oven for 30 mins to 1 hour if it's not fully defrosted. If the dough hasn't risen to twice its size, it may need more time. Rewrap the dough in plastic wrap before putting it back in the oven.\nIf the dough has risen a small amount, you should put it back in for 30 minutes. If it hasn't risen at all, put it back in for another hour. <img> Remove the plastic wrap before baking the dough as the recipe indicates. When the time is up, remove the plastic wrap and place the dough on your work surface. Then, put it on a clean pan and bake it following the instructions in your specific recipe. <img> " ]

[ "Thaw the crab legs. The best way to thaw frozen crab legs is by placing them in the refrigerator overnight.\nPlace the crab legs and claws in a container as they thaw so that they will not drip water inside the refrigerator as the ice melts.\nIf you do not have enough time to thaw the crab legs in the refrigerator, you can thaw them by rinsing them under cold, running water for a few minutes. At the very, make sure that the ice has melted before cooking them. <img> Bring 4 cups (1 L) of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Insert a steamer basket inside the pot, making sure that the bottom of the basket does not come into direct contact with the water.\nYou only need about 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm) of water in the stockpot. The water level should be low enough to avoid hitting the bottom of the steamer basket.\nIf you do not have a steamer basket, a metal colander can be used, instead. Just make sure that the colander can rest on the lip of the stockpot without falling into it and that the lid of the pot can still fit on top. Additionally, the colander should never dip into the water inside the stockpot. <img> Place the crab legs inside the steamer basket. Arrange the crab legs and claws in a single layer and cover the stockpot.\nBy keeping the crab legs and claws in a single layer, you ensure even cooking. If they need to be stacked slightly, however, they should still cook through.\nA tight cover is essential. If you do not cover the stockpot, you will have no way of trapping the steam inside, and the crab legs will not heat through correctly. <img> Steam until heated through. This can take anywhere from 5 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the crab legs and how thawed they are before you steam them.\nOnce the crab legs become fragrant, they are likely done or very close to being done.\nIf you want to check more thoroughly, carefully pick one up with tongs and touch the meaty part with the tip of your pinky finger. <img> Serve hot. Steamed crab legs should be enjoyed immediately. They are often served with clarified butter, but melted butter, salt, and lemon wedges are also good accompaniments.\nBe careful when removing the crab legs from the steamer. Lift the lid away from your face so that you do not accidentally burn yourself on the hot steam as it bursts out.\nSteamed crab legs and claws have softened shells, so a crab cracker should not be used to get the meat out. Instead, use sharp kitchen scissors or shears to cut the crab apart at down the center.\nIf serving these to guests, you can completely remove the shell or simply cut a small slit into each one to get the process started.\nIn case you find the crab legs or claws too hot to handle with your bare hands, or if the shell is spiny and hard to hold, you could wear a glove while working with it. <img> ", "Thaw the crab legs. For best results, place the frozen crab legs in a shallow container and thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.\nIf you do not keep the crab legs in a container as they thaw, the melting ice could leave a big puddle of water in your refrigerator by morning.\nNote that crab legs can be thawed with cold water if you are short on time. Run each leg and claw under cold, running water for several minutes. Do not attempt to steam the crab legs until the ice has melted off, at the very least. <img> Add water, lemon wedges, and salt to a large skillet. Fill the bottom of the skillet with no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Add wedges from 1 lemon along with 1 tsp (5 ml) or so of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.\nYou only need enough water to create steam. If you add too much water, you will end up boiling the crab legs instead of steaming them.\nThe lemon and salt are only optional.\nIf you do add the salt, let the contents of the skillet simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, giving the salt ample time to dissolve, before adding the crab legs and/or claws. <img> Add the crab legs and cook. Arrange the crab legs and claws in the skillet in a single layer and cover tightly with a lid. Steam for 5 to 7 minutes, or until heated through.\nFor a tighter seal, consider covering the skillet with a sheet of aluminum foil as well as or instead of the lid. Place the foil on carefully, however, so that you do not burn your fingertips on the sides of the hot pan.\nOne good indication that the crab legs are done is when they become notably fragrant.\nIf you want to double-check on whether or not the crab legs are done, remove the cover of the pan and pick the thickest crab leg up with a set of tongs. Lightly touch the meaty part with the tip of your pinky finger to see if it is warm. <img> Serve hot. Enjoy the crab legs as soon as you finish steaming them. Serve them with melted or clarified butter on the side.\nBe careful when removing the crab legs from the skillet. Lift the lid away from your face so that you do not accidentally burn yourself on the hot steam as it bursts out.\nSteamed crab legs and claws have softened shells, so a crab cracker will likely crush the shell into the meat instead of cracking the shell open. Dig the meat out by using sharp kitchen scissors or shears to cut the crab apart at down the center.\nIf serving these to guests, you can remove the shell entirely or simply cut a small slit into each one to get the process started. The choice is yours.\nIf the crab legs too hot to handle with your bare hands, or if the shell is spiny and difficult to hold, wear a glove while working with it. <img> ", "Thaw the crab legs. Place the crab legs and claws in a shallow container and let them sit in your refrigerator overnight until thawed.\nBy placing the crab legs and claws in a container, you prevent the ice from melting into water all over your refrigerator shelves.\nIf you are short on time, thaw the crab legs and claws by rinsing them under cold, running water for several minutes. You can rinse them until the entire section comes to room temperature, but at the very least, you should rinse them until the ice melts off. <img> Cut the claws and legs at their joints. Use sharp kitchen shears or a heavy knife to cut the claws and legs at their joints. Otherwise, you may not be able to fit them into your microwave.\nIf your microwave is large enough, however, you do not need to separate the claws and legs at their joints. <img> Wrap three pieces in damp paper towel. Moisten several sheets of clean paper towel with water, wringing them out gently to remove any excess. Securely wrap these damp paper towels around three sections at a time until all the sections are wrapped.\nYou only need enough water in the paper towels to create steam. As such, damp paper towels, rather than soaking wet paper towels, will be more effective. <img> Wrap each cluster in plastic wrap. After all the sections are wrapped in paper towels, wrap each one in a couple of layers of microwave-safe plastic wrap.\nThe plastic wrap helps hold the moisture in, directing the steam from the wet paper towels inward toward the crab legs rather than outward. <img> Microwave each package for 2 minutes on full power. Steam the wrapped clusters of crab legs and claws in the microwave one at a time.\nThe crab legs should become notably fragrant once they are done. If you cannot smell them yet, microwave the wrapped clusters for another 30 seconds or so.\nTo verify that the crab legs and claws have heated through, unwrap one set and lightly touch the meaty part with the tip of your pinky finger to see if it is warm. <img> Serve hot. Remove each cluster and carefully unwrap them. Serve immediately with a side of melted or clarified butter. Add salt and lemon wedges, if desired.\nBe careful when removing the plastic wrap and paper towels. The crab legs and claws will be steamy, and you could accidentally burn yourself on the steam if you stick your face directly into it.\nSteamed crab legs and claws have softened shells. As such, a crab cracker should not be used to get the meat out, since it will only smash the shell into the meat instead of cracking it apart cleanly. Instead, use sharp kitchen scissors or shears to cut the crab apart at down the center.\nWhen serving these to guests, you can either completely remove the shell or cut a small slit into each one to get the process started.\nIf the crab legs or claws too hot to handle with your bare hands, or if the shell is spiny and prickly, you could wear a glove while working with it to protect your hands. <img> " ]

[ "Exercise your biceps by doing a set of chin-ups. Find a pull-up bar and stand underneath it, grabbing the bar with both hands. Your palms should be facing towards you. Slowly pull yourself up until your chin is even with the bar then lower yourself back down, repeating ten times. Don't touch the floor or jump otherwise the exercise won't be as effective. If you have trouble completing the set try standing on a chair and lightly supporting yourself with your legs as you do the exercise. Make sure the chin-up bar is properly installed or it will fall and you'll hurt yourself! <img> Exercise your shoulders by doing some elevated pushups. Elevate your feet on a chair, exercise ball, or box and do ten pushups, or a set. Make sure to keep your back and your legs straight or you may injure yourself. <img> Exercise your triceps by doing a set of bench dips. Find a bench and sit on it with your palms against the bench on either side of your torso and your legs extended. Slowly lower yourself off the bench using your arms. Straighten your arms, lifting your entire body, and lower yourself back down by bending your arms. Don't touch the ground or use your legs to help you complete the exercise or it will be less effective. <img> ", "Start with lighter weights and work your way up to heavier weights over time. When you choose a weight for an exercise it should be heavy enough to make the exercise effective but not so heavy that you can't lift it. If you find yourself having trouble repeating a set (the number of repetitions of an exercise) choose a lighter weight and keep going! If you use a weight that is too heavy you run the risk of injuring yourself. <img> Work out your biceps. Your biceps are commonly referred to as the “big” part of your upper arm. This isn't the only part of your arm that you have to work out to get big arms but it's definitely an important part! \nDo a set of bicep curls. Choose some weights that are heavy but not too heavy to lift several times. Sit on a bench and lean forward, placing your elbow close to your knee. Holding the barbell, extend your arm until your forearm is parallel to the floor, elbow still resting on your knee, and pull the barbell towards your chest. Repeat this step ten times to do a set. <img> Work out your shoulders. Any person with large arms will also have large shoulders. This is an important part of having large arms that many people forget about. Make sure when exercising your shoulders that you keep your back straight to avoid injury!\nDo a set of palms-in shoulder presses. Choose a pair of weights that are heavy but not too heavy for you. Stand up straight and lift your arms above your head at a ninety degree angle. Slowly straighten your arms while holding the dumbbells to exercise your shoulders. Repeat this step ten times to complete a set. <img> Work out your triceps, or the underside of your upper arms. These muscles are very important and are often overlooked in favor of bicep exercises. However, these muscles can make your biceps look even bigger! \nDo two sets of one arm overhead extensions, or one for each arm. Choose a dumbbell that's moderately heavy for you. Lean forward slightly, keeping your back straight and your knees slightly bent, and lift the dumbbell behind you with your arm slightly bent. Extend your arm until it's straight and then return it to the original position. Repeat this process ten times for a set and do it once for each arm. <img> Work out other parts of your body. A person with very muscular arms and small legs looks very strange. Make sure to exercise other parts of your body regularly as well, including your legs, back, and chest. Many people find it useful to have certain days where they work out different body groups.\nFor example, Monday and Thursday can be \"arm day,\" Tuesday and Friday can be \"leg day,\" and Wednesday and Saturday can be \"back and chest day\".\nGive yourself at least one day a week where you rest. Your muscles need time to heal if they're going to grow as big as you want them to. <img> ", "Eat the right foods for your goals. If you want to build a lot of muscle, you need to eat a lot of protein. Studies have shown that people who eat protein gain muscle faster than those who don't. The reason is simple; your body uses protein to build muscle. The more protein you give your body, the more muscle you can build. If you're just beginning a workout routine, it's very important to get enough protein if you want to see fast results. \nFor every pound of body weight you have, you need to eat .73 grams (0.026 oz) of protein. For example, a 180 pound man would need to eat 130 grams (4.6 oz) of protein every day. It's best to evenly split your protein intake over three meals so that your body absorbs it properly; so, if you needed 120 grams (4.2 oz) of protein a day, you would eat about 40 grams (1 oz) of protein with each meal. <img> Find high-protein foods to eat. Think about what foods you like. How many of them are high in protein? For example, lean beef is an excellent source of protein. In a four ounce serving of lean ground beef there are 29 grams (1 oz) of protein. If you like lean beef, try to incorporate this into your diet more often. If you don't eat meat, quinoa is also an excellent source of protein, with eight grams of protein per cup serving.\nOther good sources of protein include beets, eggs, brown rice, Greek yogurt, and chicken. Don't eat too much of the same thing; try to vary your diet so that you stay healthy. <img> Eat a lot of healthy food. If you're trying to build muscle, you need to give your body the tools it needs to build that muscle. That means that you'll be eating a lot more calories than you're used to eating. To find out how many calories you need, multiply your body weight by twenty. For example, a 180 pound man needs to eat 3,600 calories per day to gain muscle.\nMake sure you're working out hard in the gym! If you eat over 2,000 calories a day without any exercise you could gain fat instead of muscle.\nStay away from sugary and fatty food! Get most of your calories from meats, vegetables, grains, and fruits by eating a balanced diet. <img> ", "Drink protein shakes. If you're worried about getting enough protein in your diet it's a good idea to start using protein powder. Protein powder is a food product that is mixed with a liquid to form a protein shake and can be found at many grocery stores or online. You can choose to drink your protein shake with either milk or water; milk provides more protein but water provides less calories. There are three kinds of protein powders: whey, casein, and soy.\nWhey powder is the most common kind of protein powder. It's made from milk proteins, readily available, and mixes easily into water or milk. Casein powder is also made from dairy products and is absorbed into the body more slowly than whey. This can result in a steadier supply of protein to your body than whey could give alone. Because of this, some experts recommend combining the two proteins.\nSoy powder is also a good source of protein. It's harder to blend with water but there are no dairy proteins in the mixture. This is a good option for vegans and people who are lactose intolerant. <img> Buy the right protein powder. Expensive protein powders aren't always better. Make sure to read the nutrition facts on the containers of several protein powders before you make your choice. If you aren't a professional athlete, the less expensive protein powders will serve just as well for you without breaking the bank! <img> Drink your protein shake immediately following your workout. The more you work out, the better your body will metabolize proteins. You want to make sure your body has the building blocks it needs to create the muscles that you want! To make sure they drink their protein shake at the right time, many people will bring the shake with them to the gym and drink it while they cool off.\nIf your gym doesn't have a cooler to keep a shake made with milk in while you work out, bring a bottle filled with only powder and add water to the bottle after your workout. Then you can still have your protein shake at the optimal time without worrying about spoiled milk! <img> " ]

[ "A poseur will use any chance to show off the thing they’re “obsessed” with. Look for stickers, apparel, and other items that relate to what they claim to love. For instance, posers within the car scene will cover their cars in stickers as a cry for attention.\nIf that backpack or t-shirt from a popular comic book is brand new, but the wearer claims to have been a fan forever, you might have a poseur on your hands. <img> ", "Poseurs will try hard to show they're part of a community. Beyond simply looking at the things they own, look for specific company names that relate to the poseur’s claimed obsession. This is especially true of poseurs within communities such as skateboarding and surfing.\nThere’s a delicate balance between wearing brands you like and wearing them for attention. A poser is likely to have brand names on everything they own. <img> ", "Poseurs are more likely to jump on a bandwagon than try and be themselves. Check what they claim to be obsessed about, whether it’s a band, a tv show or just a specific kind of identity. Ask yourself if this is a popular trend, especially if it’s a new trend.\nA perfect example of this is the “geek” phenomenon. If you go back a couple of decades, it wasn’t at all cool to be a geek; it meant you were obsessed with a particular hobby or facet of pop culture. Geekdom is now more mainstream, and some posers will claim they’re geeks just to fit in. <img> ", "Poseurs love to talk about the things they love more than do them. In contrast, someone who’s truly passionate about a hobby, a skill or a specific community usually lets their passion do the talking.\nSomeone who’s thoroughly passionate about something will talk about it at length if asked, whereas a poser will shove it in just about anyone’s face. <img> ", "Compare a poser's behavior to other people's. Depending on your area of passion, there are a few specific behaviors that will make a poseur stand out. It might take some time to actually pick out these behaviors, so pay close attention to suspected poseurs.\nFor example, a poseur pretending to be a surfer may have a really nice board, but won’t properly wax or take care of it. Not properly handling the tools of the trade is a classic sign of a poser. <img> ", "Ask a poser about the topic they claim to be passionate about. While the best way to deal with a poser is to simply ignore them, there might be situations where you decide to confront them. If you want to be sure they’re a poseur, simply test them on what they claim to know so much about.\nPoseurs are so focused on the way they come across to people that they don’t usually know what they’re talking about. They’ll repeat things that are common knowledge, but dig a bit deeper and you should be able to expose them.\nFor instance, some poseurs might act like they’re really into cars. If you want to test them, just get them to pop the hood and tell you about what their car’s got. If they stumble, or try to get out of it, you might have found a poser. <img> ", "A really dedicated poseur can easily purchase fans, views, and followers. This will artificially inflate their social media accounts, making it seem like they have a large following. To get to the bottom of this, look at the relationship between your suspected poseur and their fans. You can also check the profiles of their followers; if the profiles are empty, they’re not real followers.\nSocial media is essentially a more complicated, high tech conversation. If there are no comments or likes on the suspected poseur’s posts, it’s a one way conversation and you might be dealing with a poseur. <img> ", "Buying followers means poseurs don’t have to worry about putting out quality posts. Even without a following, poseurs will focus on posts that can bring the most attention, rather than putting out something important and creative.\nPeople who are passionate about their hobby or interest will release content that helps to educate others or celebrates their passion. Poseurs treat it like a science; they’re just after the views. <img> ", "The scheduling of a person’s posts can tell you about how they treat their social media accounts. A poseur might try and use their social media accounts like a brand or company: minimizing effort and maximizing their following. Someone who’s passion is more likely to post as the mood strikes them; maybe they come across something particularly funny or important they really want to share.\nIf the suspected poseur runs their social media on a tight schedule, your suspicions likely have some truth to them. <img> " ]

[ "Brush your teeth twice a day. Even if you're in a hurry, brushing your teeth will remove bits of food, bacteria, and stains that can cause problems if left to fester. Try brushing once in the morning and once before you go to bed, and spend at least two minutes each time you brush. It will keep you fresh the whole day.\nIf you are constantly on the go, have a travel toothbrush in your purse or briefcase so you can pop into the bathroom at work.\nSpend equal time brushing the front, back, and tops of your teeth, especially the molars. <img> Floss at least once a day. Your dentist is not lying when they say this is one of the most overlooked hygiene regimens in the United States. Regular flossing cleans the parts of your teeth a brush can't reach and stimulates healthy gum growth.\nBrush from the gum onto the tooth in a stroke that's down and maybe just a slight bit of rolling your hand around but not across your teeth.\nUsing a short piece of floss, get in between your teeth and along the gum line, using your fingers to add pressure.\nTalk to your orthodontist about ways to floss if you have braces, such as dental threads.\nBe sure to clean in between your back teeth too, using the floss around all sides of the molars.\nMouthwash does not physically remove plaque and food and is not a substitute for flossing. <img> Schedule regular visits to the dentist. While going to the dentist every six months is not strictly necessary for healthy adults, children and those with dental issues should talk to their dentists about frequent checkups. Monitor your teeth, note any changes or worrisome pains, and get your teeth professionally cleaned at a minimum of once a year. \nSmokers, diabetics, and people with a history of cavities should see the dentist twice a year or more. <img> ", "Bathe or shower at least every two days. Bathing removes the oils, dirt, dead skin bacteria that you accumulate every day and is essential to having good hygiene. Showering frequently is the most important hygienic habit you can develop for your hair and skin.\nIf you don't have access to a shower, a cloth and some water will help remove dirt and irritants from your skin.\nShowering too frequently can be bad for your skin as well -- once a day is enough. <img> Take short, warm showers instead of long hot showers. Long showers don't only waste water and electricity, they can clog your pores and dry out your skin. The heat is also tough on your hair. A short shower is all you need and will promote healthy skin. <img> Scrub your body well. Using soap and a loofah, sponge, or washcloth, wash your entire body well to scrub off dirt and skin. This allows new skin to grow and prevents infections or excess bacteria.\nBe sure to wash the areas you don't immediately think of -- feet, butt, genitals, and back.\nUse deodorant or perfume after showers in the morning.\nTry blasting 10-20 seconds of cold water right before you get out of the shower to close your pores and prevent sweating when you get out. <img> Do not shampoo every day unless you have very oily hair. Shampoo removes dirt and grime, but it also strips your hair of natural oils needed for clean, healthy hair. Many dermatologists believe it is actually healthier to shampoo every few days than daily. \nWhen you wash your head, be sure to scrub you scalp lightly with your fingers to remove dead skin cells.\nAlways use conditioner after shampooing to return healthy oils back to your hair. <img> ", "Wash your hands frequently. The majority of food borne diseases are caused by human contamination, and the number one culprits are dirty hands. Protect yourself and people around you by washing your hands for 20 seconds using soap and warm water after using the bathroom, going outside, or handling food.\nIf possible, turn the faucet off with your elbow to prevent recontamination. <img> Wash and disinfect your home surfaces regularly. The kitchen and the bathroom build up bacteria quickly, so stay ahead of the game by regularly wiping down your counter-tops, sinks, and toilets whenever they get dirty. Don't leave crumbs or food around your kitchen overnight, as this attracts ants and germs.\nUse a disinfected spray in you bathroom and kitchen once every few weeks.\nDry surfaces after cleaning them so that they don't grow mold.\nDon't forget to steam or disinfect your curtains and furniture at least once a year too. <img> Keep food preparation areas clean and organized. Always use separate knives, cutting boards, and pans for raw meat, and wash dishes as soon as you can to prevent mold and germs.\nDesignate certain utensils as \"meat only\" so that you don't get confused cooking. <img> Open your windows when you can. Circulating fresh air around your house is good for your lungs and prevents bacteria from building up in the air. If you can't open your windows for long periods of time, like during the winter, use an aerosol spray with disinfectant if the house smell stale or moldy. <img> Wash your bedding every few weeks. Oil can build up on the sheets and cause acne and irritations. Dead skin cells, dirt from your feet and body, and bugs can also hang around in your sheets if you don't take the time to wash them. You shouldn't go more than two weeks without washing your sheets. \nHaving spare sheets that you can use while washing the other set makes you likely to change your sheets regularly. <img> Contain sick family members and disinfect anything they use. When someone in your house is sick the rest of the family are far more likely to become ill if you do not take adequate precautions. Sick people should confine themselves to a small area of the house to prevent spreading germs and should have dedicated dishes, towels, and sinks that are disinfected regularly. \nMake sure any bandages or wounds are cleaned and dressed properly each day.\nImmediately disinfect common household surfaces like light switches, phones, and door knobs when someone becomes ill -- many disease take several days to manifest themselves, but the germs will be present before someone becomes sick. <img> ", "Always wear clean clothes and underwear. Dirty clothes breed bacteria and will be smelly and uncomfortable. Wash your clothes after you wear them and never put on sweaty or wet clothes.\nTight clothes are more likely to get dirty and trap sweat.\nRemove tight or sweaty clothes soon after a workout to prevent build up. \nUV from the sun is a powerful disinfectant that kills many bugs and bacteria. <img> Drink enough water. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day as it promotes a healthy immune system and is crucial to good hygiene. Drinking water helps keep your skin and mouth healthy, too. \nBring your own waterbottle to work, but be sure to disinfect it regularly. <img> Keep your hands and nails clean. Clear the dirt in your nails and keep them short and tidy. Hangnails and cuts around your cuticles are major areas for infection and dirt buildup. <img> Have hygienic periods by changing tampons and wearing clean underwear. Menstruation itself is not un-hygienic, but you need to take care of yourself and keep your private parts clean to avoid infections or rashes. Be prepared with a spare pair of underwear and extra pads/tampons to prevent discomfort and stay clean during the day.\nSome women believe a menstrual cup is more comfortable and less hassle than tampons, and they may have health benefits. <img> Get regular check-ups. See a doctor if you notice odd symptoms or unplanned changes in your hygiene. Being healthy is the best thing you can do to stay hygienic, so schedule regular doctor's visits ward of problems and get advice on you can stay happy, healthy, and clean.\nBe sure to ask your doctor for personalized advice if you are having trouble staying hygienic. <img> " ]

[ "Choose a colored mat to complement the picture you want to frame. Create something that’s visually alluring by matching the color of the mat to a color in the background of the photo.\nFor example, if your photo is of a sunset, pick a mat that is a shade of blue that matches part of the sky. <img> Use a white mat to make the picture pop against a dark frame. A white mat is often a classic choice, regardless of what kind of frame you use; but, if you’re using a dark frame, it can really highlight the actual photo so it doesn’t get lost. Especially if the photo itself is dark, it’s a good idea to differentiate the space between the photo and the frame.\nFor example, if your frame is a deep mahogany wood and your picture is full of darker shades (like brown, gray, black, green, or purple), a white mat will really draw the eye to the picture itself.\nIf you don't like white mats, any neutral color, like grey, black, or cream, is usually a safe choice.Tip: If your picture also features a lot of white, make sure to match that shade to the color of the mat so that neither part looks faded or yellowed. <img> Buy a 4-ply piece of mat board for your standard-size photos. Use 8-ply for photos that are wider than 30 inches (76 cm). Visit your local craft or framing store to get all the supplies you need. Look for acid-free or archival-grade mats.\nYou can also make your own mats at home using thin pieces of cardboard or thick pieces of crafting paper. Keep in mind that these won’t be of the same quality as an actual mat board, but they’re good substitutes if you’re looking for a quick and easy matting option, or if you just want to practice your matting technique. <img> Measure the inside of the frame to get its dimensions and mark the mat. You may already know the size of the frame, especially if you bought it specifically to fit a picture. But if you don’t know, use a ruler to measure the width and height of the frame. Write down the measurements on a piece of paper so you have it to reference. Use a ruler to mark the back of the mat board where you’ll need to cut.\nTake your time when marking the mat. You need your measurements to be exact so that it’ll fit snug inside the frame. <img> Trim the edges of the mat board so it’ll fit inside your frame of choice. Use an X-ACTO knife or something similar to carefully cut the mat board to size. Cut along the length of a metal ruler to keep your lines as straight as possible.\nThere are special mat cutters and rulers that you can purchase if you want to. The ruler has a rubber bottom so it won’t slip while you’re cutting, and the mat cutter helps you make more precise cuts. They aren’t a requirement to mat photos, but if you do it a lot, they could come in handy.\nBe very careful when using any kind of cutting instrument, and make sure to work on top of a cutting board, self-healing mat, or large piece of cardboard. <img> ", "Measure how big the picture is that you need to mat. To determine where you need to cut your mat, you first need to know how big the picture is. Take your ruler and measure both the width and the height of the photo; write down your measurements on a piece of paper. If you’re framing a photo with a white border, measure from where the actual photo starts so that the white won’t be visible once it’s framed.Tip: If there is a signature beneath the picture that you want to show, make sure to take that into account when you’re taking the measurements. <img> Calculate how big the border should be. Now that you know how big the picture is and how big the frame is, you can do some math to determine where you’ll need to cut the mat board. In general, you want anywhere from a ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) border to a 2 inches (5.1 cm) border going all the way around the photo. For example:\nIf your picture is 7 inches (18 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) tall and the frame is 16 inches (41 cm) wide and 20 inches (51 cm) tall, you’ll subtract the picture’s height from the frame’s height and divide that answer by 2 to figure out where you’ll need to make your mat cuts.\nSimilarly, you’ll subtract the picture’s width from the frame’s width and divide that answer by 2 to determine where you need to cut for the width of the mat.\nIf your picture is a lot smaller than the frame, you’ll be left with a much bigger mat border. <img> Mark the back of the mat board so you can line up your cuts. Always mark the back of the board rather than the front. If you mark on the front, you’ll have to erase your pencil lines which could change the color of the mat or ruin its appearance (especially if it’s not white). Use your metal ruler to mark off the entire square that needs to be removed to create the border for the picture.\nUse a pencil rather than a marker to make your notations. A marker could bleed into the mat board or could get on your hand and then transfer to the front of the board or picture later on. <img> Cut out the center of the mat based on the measurements you made. Line up your metal ruler along one of the lines for the border. Use your X-ACTO knife to carefully cut along the ruler, making sure to start and stop at the intersections with the other lines. If you go too far, you’ll be cutting into the border itself and will need to start over. Cut the board on all 4 sides and then pop out the interior section to reveal the border.\nYou can save that interior section of mat board to use on other projects. You could always make another border for a smaller picture, or use it in other crafting projects. <img> ", "Use an archival foam core for the mount board. Using archival-grade material will protect your photo from chemicals that could potentially damage it over time. Buy this mounting board at your local craft or frame store.\nThe mount board will sit against the back of the picture frame. It helps protect the photo and keep it in place so it doesn’t get warped over time.\nThe “mount board” is the same thing as “foam core,” and you’ll see these terms used interchangeably on different products. <img> Cut the mount board to fit inside the frame of your choice. Just like you did with the mat board, you’ll need to cut the mount board down to size so it’ll fit snuggly in the picture frame. Use your metal ruler and X-ACTO knife to make your cuts.\nIt’s really important that the mount board can’t move around in the frame, so take the time to measure and carefully cut. If it is loose, the picture will get off-center and not look right in the frame. <img> Attach the picture to the mount board with photo corners. You can buy these at your local craft store. Position the picture in the middle of the mat board. Slip a photo corner over each corner of the picture, remove the adhesive, and press the corner down onto the mat board.\nPhoto corners make it really easy to remove and switch out the picture in the future. There’s no adhesive attached to the back of the actual picture, so there is no chance that it could get damaged.\nIf you decide to just sandwich the picture between the mat board and the mount board, that is called a “floating mount.” If you do this, make sure there is a firm fit in the frame so that the picture doesn’t come loose and fall down. <img> Apply a transfer adhesive to the edges of the back of the mat. Look for an archival-grade adhesive tape. Most of these come in an easy-to-use dispenser, and you can use it much like you would packing tape. Line the edges of the mat board on each side with the adhesive.\nYou can also use: linen hinging tape, press-on mounting tabs, or archival-grade double-sided tape. <img> Line up the edges of the mat to the mount board and press down firmly. Be very careful to get the edges of the mat lined up perfectly with the edges of the mount board. Once it’s in position, firmly run your hands along the edges to secure the 2 pieces together.Tip: Make sure your hands are clean before you press down on the mat. <img> Insert the matted picture into the frame and hang up the picture.

[ "Become self-aware. If you have never worked with someone from a different culture before, it can be an adjustment. While you might encounter some challenges, you will likely find it a rewarding experience. Your first step is to put yourself in the right frame of mind.\nWork on becoming more aware of your words and actions. What seems appropriate to you may not be a cultural norm to another person.\nBefore you give someone at work a high five or a pat on the back, take a moment to consider your actions. Based on what you know about that culture, is touching in the workplace appropriate?\nA good rule of thumb is to take a moment to consider your words before you speak. Is what you're about to say possibly offensive? If so, figure out a way to rephrase. <img> Practice patience. It may take awhile for you to get used to working with people from different cultures. Don't worry, that's normal. It probably took you awhile to acclimate to your current co-workers, too.\nTry not to get irritated if communication takes a little extra effort at first. For example, maybe you are now working with someone whose first language is not English.\nInstead of getting impatient if they don't understand your point, try to treat it as a learning experience. Try saying, \"Ok, I can see I'm not making myself clear. How can I help us get on the same page?\"\nBe patient with yourself, too. It may take you some time to adjust to working with your new co-workers or clients, and that is ok. <img> Use humor. Remember that working in a new environment might be intimidating for someone from a different culture. Whether you are on a conference call, or traveling to meet someone face to face, the initial meeting can feel stilted or awkward. Don't be afraid to lighten the mood.\nHumor is an excellent way to ease tension in the workplace. It can serve as a way to make people feel comfortable and even more connected to each other.\nRemember that different people have different senses of humor. Before making a joke, try to make sure that it won't be construed as offensive.\nYou can try making a lighthearted joke about something situational. For example, if it's a nasty, rainy day, you can jokingly say, \"Lovely day, isn't it?\" It may not be the most original comment, but things like that can lighten the mood. <img> Look at issues from a different perspective. Remember that not everyone will come at a discussion from the same angle. Difference in perspective are coming when working with people from different cultures. Don't assume that you are all looking at the issue from the same perspective.\nClarify what important terms mean to each individual. For example, in a meeting you could ask, \"What does efficiency mean to you?\"\nIt's possible that you might think you're working with the same goals in mind, but that you have a different understanding of the process or outcomes. A simple question can help resolve any issues.\nOnce someone explains their perspective, take some time to reflect. Looking at an issue from an alternate perspective can help you find solutions that you might not have considered. <img> Accept differences. Part of choosing the right frame of mind means that you are open to differences. If you go into a new situation aware that people might have different customs than you, you will find it easier to be accepting. Go to work knowing that people from different cultures might work differently than you, and that's to be expected.\nBe aware that there will likely be differences in communication styles. For example, in some cultures the word \"yes\" means, \"Certainly, I'm in agreement.\" To others, the word \"yes\" can mean, \"I heard you.\"\nAccept that there might be differences in addressing conflict. In some cultures, a face to face conversation might be the norm. For other people, written communication might be more appropriate.\nWhen you encounter differences, be willing to be adaptable. You might need to alter some of your habits in order to make the work relationship more constructive. <img> ", "Research different cultures. Maybe your company recently expanded its global operations. You might suddenly find yourself working closely with team members from other cultures. Take some time to work on making these relationships stronger.\nSpend time learning about other cultures. For example, if you are going to be working closely with your Japan office, study up on Japanese work etiquette.\nAsk your Human Resources department if they have any resources available. They might be able to direct you towards a helpful website.\nHead to the local library. The resource librarian can direct you towards references that can give you a solid overview of the culture you're learning about. <img> Be willing to make mistakes. Don't go into this situation afraid to make errors. If you're overly anxious, you might not speak up and share your ideas. You also won't be able to connect with your new co-workers or clients.\nJust know that mistakes might happen. You might accidentally try to eat your food incorrectly at a client lunch, for example.\nLaugh it off and apologize. These things happen when you are learning new cultural norms.\nSay a sincere, \"I apologize.\" Then remember your mistake and don't make the same one twice. <img> Learn to be an ally. Some of your current colleagues might be uncomfortable working with people from different cultures. That can cause unease and stress in the workplace. Build good relationships with people and learn to be an ally for those from other cultures.\nOne of the most effective ways to be an ally is to show that discrimination will not be tolerated. Stand up for people if someone is saying or doing something offensive.\nFor example, maybe one of your co-workers makes an offensive comment about the way your new clients from the Middle East dress. Make it clear that that sort of talk is not acceptable.\nYou can say something like, \"You know, just because these people dress differently, that doesn't make them wrong or somehow less than us. Let's be respectful, ok?\"\tEXPERT TIP\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArchana Ramamoorthy, MS\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChief Technology Officer, Workday\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArchana Ramamoorthy is the Chief Technology Officer, North America at Workday She is a product ninja, security advocate, and on a quest to enable more inclusion in the tech industry. Archana received her BS from SRM University and MS from Duke University and has been working in product management for over 8 years.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArchana Ramamoorthy, MS\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChief Technology Officer, Workday\t\t\t\tA mentor can make a big difference. Archana Ramamoorthy, the Director of Technology Product Management, says: \"When I moved to the US, my mentor taught me a lot about the culture. She was patient, kind, and one of my biggest supporters, and even though we didn't have the same cultural background, she helped me feel like I had family here.\" <img> Get to know individuals. When you take time to get to know someone, you can find new ways to strengthen your work relationship. Put some effort into building individual relationships. Your work life will be more productive and pleasant.\nDon't lump people together in a group. For example, avoid making general comments such as, \"Those Australians don't have the same work hours that we do.\"\nInstead, say, \"I need to talk to Anna and Steve about how we can resolve this issue.\" Thinking of people as individuals is a great way to show respect and build relationships. <img> Make an effort. It might feel difficult to learn to work with new people. This can be especially tricky if you have any sort of communication barriers. However, that doesn't mean that it's not worth your effort.\nTry to make any newcomers feel welcome. Try saying, \"I noticed you bring your lunch. So do I. Do you want to go to the park and eat together tomorrow?\"\nIf you are the newcomer, you can find other ways to make an effort. For example, if you're in a new office, you can ask about customs and traditions.\nFor example, you can say, \"I noticed that you all seem to support different football teams. Can you tell me a little more about the sport?\" <img> ", "Listen to stories. One of the best ways to learn about a new culture is by hearing some personal anecdotes. Ask your new co-workers or clients to tell you some stories. Listen with an interested and curious open mind.\nPerhaps you have some new clients from South Africa. You can ask them to tell you stories about what life is like there.\nYou can say something like, \"What do you typically do for fun after work?\" Then you can offer examples of your own experiences.\nListening to stories is a great way to form bonds. You'll learn something new, and likely find more commonalities than you expected. <img> Ask questions. Learning to communicate better will help you to work with people from different cultures. One of the most important components of effective communication is asking questions. Questions are a great way to clear up differences and also a good way to get to know people.\nIf something is unclear, just ask a question. For example, you could say, \"I noticed that people in this office bow to one another in greeting. Is that something I should do, also?\"\nTry asking open-ended questions. For example, instead of saying, \"Am I doing this right?\", try asking, \"How can I improve my performance?\" You'll get a more informative answer.\nListen carefully to the answer. When you ask a question, pay attention to the response and try to retain the information. <img> Be sincere. It may take some time to learn to work with new people. Make it clear that you are putting in effort. Make it clear that you are sincere in wanting to better your communications. \nDo something that indicates you are trying. For example, try greeting someone from a different culture in their language.\nMost people will appreciate a gesture like that. It won't take much work on your part, but it indicates your sincerity.\nSmile. This generally means that same thing in most cultures.\nTake time to reflect. If you have had trouble communicating, spend some time asking yourself where the breakdown occurred. Then try to improve tomorrow. <img> " ]

[ "Dial “00” on the phone first. Dial the UK’s international calling code into your phone, which is 00. This will signal that the phone number you are about to dial is out of the country.\nIf you’re calling from a mobile phone, you may need to press the “+” sign on the keypad before or instead of “00.” <img> Dial “1” for the country code. After you dial 00, press 1 on your phone’s keypad. This is the country code for the United States that will signify that the phone number you are about to dial is a U.S. number.\nIf the phone number you wish to dial is listed online, in a directory, or spoken to you including the number 1 before the area code and next seven digits, you don’t need to dial the “1” more than once. For example, you would dial 00-1-(###)-###-####, not 00-1-1-(###)-###-####. <img> Dial the area code of the U.S. region. After inputting the international calling code (00) and the country code (1), dial the area code of the region of the United States you are trying to reach.\nA U.S. area code is always a three-digit number, and is often listed in parentheses before the following seven digits of the phone number, like so: (###)-###-####.\nA U.S. toll-free number replaces the area code with one of the following codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844. However, toll-free numbers will not be free when calling from outside the U.S., and in fact may not work at all when dialed. Instead, call a company’s alternative, standard phone number.\nNote that a person’s area code may not be the same as their physical location in the United States if they’ve moved but kept the same phone number, or bought a phone in a different area than the one they live in. <img> Dial the remaining seven digits. Follow the international calling code (00), the country code (1), and the three-digit area code with the remaining seven digits of the U.S. phone number. After all numbers are entered, press the call button to place the call.\nAll U.S. phone numbers contain ten digits total, with three for the area code plus the remaining seven digits, like so: (###)-###-####.\nNote that you should not include any special characters like “#,” “-,” “(,” or “)” even though they may appear in these examples or wherever the number you are trying to dial is listed. <img> ", "Use Skype for voice or video calls. Try out the popular Skype service to make video or audio calls to anyone in the world who has Skype on their phone or computer. You can also make calls to any regular phone number, whether or not there is an associated Skype account, for a small fee.\nDownload Skype for free on a smartphone, tablet, or computer to immediately begin calling other Skype accounts for free. If you want to use Skype to call a regular U.S. phone number, add Skype Credit to your account to pay as you go, or select a monthly subscription to save on frequent calls.\nMake sure you are connected to a computer or phone with high-speed internet when you make calls from Skype, as the audio and video quality will be better and more reliable with a good connection.\nNote that if you use a mobile app for Skype on a phone or tablet that is not connected to WiFi, you will incur data charges. Check with your phone or SIM card provider on these charges, or purchase a plan with unlimited or a large amount of data if you plan to use phone apps frequently without an internet connection. <img> Try other calling apps. Use another service with audio and/or video calls available, such as Google Hangouts, Viber, or WhatsApp. Like Skype, calls through these services are free to any other members of the service and have a small fee for calling regular landlines and cell phones.\nUse these services on a computer or through free apps for your mobile phone or tablet. Remember that if your phone is not connected to the internet, you will incur data charges for the calls you make on the network.\nTry out different services to see which one you like the best, as they all have slightly different features. Or, you might choose an app based on whether your U.S. contacts also have it or can get it, because then your calls to them are free. <img> Test out a service before you use it. Load contacts, phone numbers, or credit (if applicable) for calls on an internet phone service or app before you use it to call the U.S. from the UK. Familiarize yourself with the process of making a call, the quality of the audio or video, and any other features so that you are ready to use it without any problems.\nIf you can, test out the app before you are abroad in the UK to get familiar with it. Make sure you have a good internet connection and, if possible, use the same device you’ll use to connect while abroad.\nYou might want to be prepared with a reliable microphone and pair of headphones for making your calls from the UK, particularly if you are using an older computer that doesn’t have a microphone or speakers built in, or you want to be able to make hands-free mobile calls. <img> ", "Bring a cell phone from the U.S. If you are from the United States and traveling in the United Kingdom, bring along an unlocked phone that allows SIM cards to be inputted from other providers. A SIM card is a small information chip that you can purchase from a mobile provider while abroad.\nEnsure that the cell phone you want to bring to the UK is a GSM phone (global cellular technology used by most of the world) and it’s unlocked, meaning that it doesn't have a restriction on being used with other providers. AT&T and T-Mobile carry GSM phones which are typically unlocked.\nLook for a UK mobile provider that carries a SIM card that will fit in your phone. Most mobile phones have a standard SIM card size, but iPhones and other newer smartphones use special micro or nano SIM card sizes.\nYou can set up an international calling plan through your current U.S. phone carrier, but note that these plans are typically very expensive.\nWhether you choose an international call plan or the SIM card route, make sure to call your U.S. provider to change or suspend your service and ask any questions you may have before traveling to the UK. <img> Buy a mobile phone in the UK. Choose to buy a mobile phone in the UK if you can’t or don’t want to bring your own from the U.S., as it is frequently simpler and cheaper. Buy an inexpensive phone for a short stay in the UK, and purchase a pay-as-you-go SIM card plan to make international calls.\nCheck the pricing on the plan to make sure you know what the rates are for international calls. Check the data usage rates on a smartphone if you plan to use it for internet calling apps.\nMost pay-as-you-go SIM card plans for mobile phones in the UK come with a small amount of prepaid minutes for calls, and then you can “top up” with more minutes over the phone or at a kiosk for the network provider.\nThe major mobile phone networks in the UK are Vodafone, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, O2, and Orange. Shops like Car Phone Warehouse and Phones4U sell inexpensive phones from several different networks. <img> Call from a landline. Call the U.S. from a UK landline phone if you wish. Check with the landline service provider to find out the rates for international calls, or purchase a calling card to lower the rates for calls to the U.S.\nPurchase an international calling card from grocery stores, post offices, or phone shops in the UK to reduce the cost of frequent international calls. Generic international calling cards can usually be used with either landlines or mobile phones.\nTo use an international calling card, you typically will dial an access number found on the back of the card, then a unique PIN number, and finally the phone number you wish to dial. <img> " ]

[ "Include naturally high-sodium foods in your diet. Some foods naturally contain more sodium than others. Eating more of these foods can help maintain a higher sodium balance. Many of these foods, such as sauerkraut, also have other benefits, such as promoting a healthy digestive tract. Some good dietary sources of sodium include:\nTomato sauce and other canned tomato products\nSauerkraut\nSour pickles\nJalapeno peppers\nCanned vegetables\nInstant mashed potatoes\nSalted fish\nEggs\nSalted nuts, seeds, beans, and peas\nTofu <img> Avoid highly refined or processed foods. Even though these are typically higher in sodium, they also come with a cost of being higher in sugar, fat, and calories. To manage your sodium levels in the healthiest way possible, steer clear of foods such as:\nPackaged cakes and cookies\nGreasy fast food, like pizza or burgers\nHeavily salted sausages or bacon\nPotato chips\nMicrowave dinners Add salt to your foods and cooking. Another easy way to get in extra sodium to your diet is by using more salt on your meals and while you cook. Ask your doctor or a dietitian for advice about how much more salt to add to your diet.\n1 teaspoon (6 g) of table salt contains about 2300-2500 mg of sodium. Sprinkle your meals with a little salt and use it while you're cooking.\nWhen using prepared sauces, marinades, canned foods, and other cooking ingredients, do not choose low-sodium or low-salt options. For example, use salted butter instead of unsalted butter. <img> Avoid caffeine and alcohol. These categories of fluids may worsen low sodium levels. Both can cause electrolyte imbalances and also act as a mild diuretic (a substance that causes you to expel more water and salt from your body).\nCaffeinated drinks to avoid include coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Avoid bottled juices or sports drinks that promise an \"increase in energy,\" as they might also contain caffeine.\nAlthough it's usually okay to consume alcohol occasionally, avoid it completely if you are suffering from low sodium levels and are having difficulty managing them. <img> Restrict your water intake. Cutting back on the amount of water and other clear fluids you consume can help manage your sodium levels. Too much water can dilute the sodium levels in your blood and make them more difficult to manage. If you’re concerned about how much water you’re drinking, get advice from your doctor.\nAlthough water is crucial to your health, you shouldn't overconsume it. In general, your thirst should guide you to what is an appropriate amount of fluid. If you're not thirsty, you're most likely consuming an adequate amount of fluid.\nAlso take note of your urine color. If your urine is pale yellow and you're using the bathroom between 4-6 times daily, you're most likely consuming adequate fluids daily.\nReducing your water intake will help your body naturally raise its ratio of sodium to water. This may be easier and more effective than sodium replacement. <img> Drink sports drinks when you’re working out. These drinks contain electrolytes and will provide the necessary amount of minerals, including sodium. If you’re exercising hard or working in the heat, grab a sports drink instead of regular water when you need to rehydrate.\nEven low calorie or diet sports drinks contain extra sodium and other helpful electrolytes.\nSports drinks are also a great way to replenish temporarily reduced sodium levels when you’re dehydrated from throwing up or having diarrhea. <img> Drink oral rehydrating solutions (ORS) to boost sodium in case of excessive fluid loss. Oral rehydrating solutions are especially helpful in cases of diarrhea, vomiting, and excessive sweating. Ask your doctor to recommend one, or make your own with household ingredients.\nCommercially available ORS, such as Pedialyte or Ultima, can be bought over the counter. They may come in the form of ready-to-drink liquids or powders that are meant to be diluted in water. Follow the package directions for proper use.\nYou can also make your own ORS at home by dissolving 2 tablespoons (25 g) of sugar and ¾ teaspoons (4.25 g) of salt in 1 US quart (0.95 L) of water. Mix in a little powdered drink mix (such as Crystal Light) or juice to improve the flavor.\nCoconut water is also a good ORS substitute as it contains natural electrolytes to help manage fluid balance. <img> ", "Talk to your physician. If you're dealing with low sodium levels or are having difficulty managing them with lifestyle and diet changes, it's important to speak with your doctor. They will be able to help you appropriately and safely manage your condition.\nYour doctor may prescribe medications to help manage your low sodium levels. Always follow their directions prior to making any dietary or other lifestyle changes.\nAsk your physician if there are changes you can make at home to help support a normal sodium level. <img> Take anti-nausea medication to prevent vomiting. If your low sodium level is due to vomiting, consider trying an over-the-counter anti-nausea medicine. Taking anti-nausea medicine may help stop the excessive loss of fluid due to vomiting.\nWhen you vomit, you expel most of the contents of your stomach, including water, sodium, and other electrolytes.\nIf you are vomiting excessively, such as during a stomach flu or other bacterial or viral illness, you may lose so much water and sodium that your sodium levels drop dangerously low.\nIn addition to anti-nausea medications, consider natural ways to manage nausea and vomiting. Ginger tea, ginger soda, and more small, frequent meals can help reduce nausea and vomiting.\nAlways talk to your doctor prior to taking any over-the-counter medications. They may also be able to prescribe anti-nausea medications if over-the-counter options don’t work for you. <img> Take anti-diarrheals. Another common cause of low sodium levels is diarrhea. Taking an over-the-counter medication to help lessen or stop diarrhea can help you manage low sodium levels.\nDiarrhea causes your body to flush out a large amount of fluids. Your gut doesn't have the time to absorb the needed minerals, including sodium.\nIf your doctor recommends it, take anti-diarrheal medications to stop diarrhea and allow your body time to reestablish your sodium levels.\nIn addition to medication, there are some natural ways to manage diarrhea. Try eating bland, low-fiber foods like bananas, white rice, and toast. Also avoid high-fiber foods and dairy, as these can make diarrhea worse.\nConsult with your doctor prior to taking any over-the-counter medications. <img> " ]

[ "Wear minimal makeup. You don’t need to wear very much makeup. Keep your makeup simple and light so you don’t overwhelm your face. Makeup is a fun way to enhance your features, but it is not meant to change your appearance. Only wear a little bit of makeup and keep the colors you wear to school natural. <img> Apply powder, BB cream and concealer. Find a BB cream that matches your skin color and take a small amount of it, then blend it in with a beauty blender or your hands. Then put small dots of concealer on blemishes and dark circles. Choose a loose powder color that matches your skin tone. Use a large brush or a puff that comes with the powder. Put powder onto the brush or puff and apply it to your face. Start by putting the powder on your nose and cheeks then work your way out.\nYou might not even need to use powder and BB cream, if you have minimal blemishes, you might just be able to use concealer. <img> Apply mascara. You can use a clear mascara or black or brown mascara. Remove the wand from the bottle and scrape off excess makeup onto the side. Sweep the mascara onto your eyelashes from the root of the lashes to the ends. You can do one or two coats of mascara on your top lashes. Only use a little bit of mascara on your bottom lashes. <img> Use a simple lip gloss. You can start by applying a clear lip gloss or you can apply a colored lip gloss. Stick to simple colors like shades of pink. Apply the lip gloss on your lips to make them appear shinier and brighter. <img> ", "Be yourself. Wearing makeup can impress your date, but don’t change who you are. If you are going on a date, wear as much makeup that you feel is true to yourself. If you never wear makeup and feel uncomfortable in it, then don’t show up to the date with a ton of makeup on. If you will feel more confident with a little bit of makeup on, then wear makeup for your date. <img> Apply tinted moisturizer, concealer and powder. You will want your skin to glow on your date. You can apply a tinted moisturizer like a BB cream for your date or you can apply a powder. Use a large brush or a puff to apply powder to your face. Use a small amount of concealer for blemishes and dark circles. Remember to use face makeup that matches your skin tone and to wash it off at night. <img> Try natural eyeshadow. If you want a little extra makeup, apply a natural colored eyeshadow. Use a color such as a beige or brown to enhance your eyes. You can use just one color or you can use a couple of shades of the same color. Apply the eyeshadow to your eyelids with an eyeshadow brush. <img> Put on a few extra coats of mascara. Use a natural colored mascara such as black or dark brown and apply it to your eyelashes. Do two or three coats of mascara to really make your eyes pop for the date.\nConsider getting a waterproof mascara if the date is outside and you are going to be sweating. <img> Consider trying blush. You can put a small amount of blush on your cheeks with a blush brush. Look in the mirror and smile. Apply blush only to the “apples” of your cheeks. These are the areas of your cheeks that pop out when you smile. Apply a small amount of blush in a circular motion. <img> Try a lip tint or stain. Use a lip tint or stain for your date in a bright or neutral color. Lip tint won’t come off when you eat so you won’t have any embarrassing lip stick marks on your face part way through the date. <img> ", "Apply foundation. There are many types of foundation. You can just apply a powder foundation or you can apply something with more coverage such as a liquid foundation or a moisturizing BB cream. Apply a bit of concealer for blemishes and dark circles. Maybe add powder to set it. Make sure your foundation matches your skin tone and that you wash it off at the end of the night. Sleeping in foundation can give you acne. <img> Apply eyeshadow. You can use natural eyeshadow colors such as beiges and browns or colorful eyeshadow. Less is more when it comes to eyeshadow so be careful not to put on too much. You can use just one color or mix two or three shades of a color. Use a makeup brush to apply eyeshadow, not your finger.\nIf you use a color, consider trying it with a natural shade. Put a beige on your entire eyelid then only put the colored eyeshadow on your eye line only.\nTry glitter eyeshadow for something extra fun. <img> Try eyeliner. If you want, you can try to apply eyeliner. Eyeliner can be difficult to apply, but it can be fun to wear for a party. You can purchase traditional black eyeliner or colored eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner and gel eyeliner are the boldest types, but they are the most difficult to apply. Use a pencil eyeliner if you are just starting out using eyeliner.\nApply eyeliner where your eyelashes meet your eyelids. Be very careful and try to make the eyeliner smooth and consistent across your eye line. <img> Use mascara. When you are finished applying any eyeshadow and eyeliner you want to use, apply mascara. Sweep the mascara on your eyelashes from the roots to the ends. You can use black or brown mascara or you can mix it up for the special occasion and use a colored mascara.\nTo make your eyes look bigger, curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler before you apply mascara. <img> Make your lips offset your eyes. Apply a colored lip gloss or lip stick to your lips that offsets your eye makeup. If you used really colorful eye makeup, wear lip gloss that is a light color that matches your lips. If you used natural colored eye makeup, you can wear a lip color that is a bright color like bright pink or red. <img> " ]

[ "Grow out your beard. In order for the color to stand out, your beard will need to be a little bit longer. Wait a week or two after deciding to dye your facial hair to give it time to come in nice and thick. A little extra length will also help the dye hold.\nFacial hair shorter than about an inch (2.5cm) may be more difficult to dye.\nIf you dye your beard before it has a chance to fill out, you'll just be forced to repeat the process later on to blend in the new growth. <img> Choose a matching dye. You'll want to select a shade that's similar to your natural hair color. If you have dark hair, go with a deep brown rather than black, which almost always looks artificial. If you have lighter hair, find a dye that most closely matches your own shade.\nUse the color squares on the packaging for reference.\nSince beard dyes tends to show up dark, it's usually a good idea to pick a color that's slightly lighter just to be on the safe side.\nJust For Men, Redken and RefectoCil are a few of the most highly-rated brands of beard dyes. <img> Do a quick patch test. Some beard dyes can cause allergic reactions. To make sure you won't have an issue with the hair dye you've chosen, rub a single drop onto an inconspicuous area of skin, like your wrist or the inside of your elbow. If you don't experience a reaction, it's safe to go ahead and color your beard.\nLeave the dye in place overnight to give it ample time to react and check the results the following morning.\nIf spot where you applied the dye becomes red, itchy or inflamed, switch to a hypoallergenic variety of dye. <img> Wash and dry your beard. Wet your facial hair and work a small amount of shampoo through it to form a rich lather. Scrub the skin beneath your beard with your fingertips, then rinse out the shampoo and towel off or blow dry thoroughly. It should be completely dry before you begin dying.\nMake sure you've rinsed out every last trace of shampoo so it doesn't interfere with the dye's ability to take hold.\nDon't use a conditioner. This will form a protective coating around the hairs, making it harder for them to absorb the dye. <img> ", "Brush the dye onto your beard. Use the long-handled applicator included with the dye kit to layer the dye onto your facial hair. Brush with quick up-and-down strokes, making sure you've covered all visible patches including the mustache and sideburns. Work the dye down deep, but try not to let it come into contact with the skin itself.\nPull on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from staining and irritation.\nIf you don't have an applicator, you can also use a toothbrush, makeup brush, flexible fine-toothed comb, or disposable mascara wand. <img> Leave the dye on until your beard reaches the desired color. Once applied, the dye will begin working within minutes. Keep a close eye on the color of your beard during this time. To test the results, you can remove the dye from a small section using a damp paper towel and take a look at the coloring underneath.\nFollow the instructions on the packaging to get an idea of how long you should let the dye set up (this will usually be somewhere between 20-40 minutes).\nFor darker beards, a second application may be necessary to achieve the right depth of color. <img> Rinse out the excess dye. When you're satisfied with the color, turn on the faucet and run some cool water over your beard. This will dull the vibrant dye to a more natural-looking tint. Continue rinsing your beard until the water runs clear. Make sure not to let any dye get in your eyes, mouth, or nose.\nMassage the hairs by hand to help free dye trapped inside.\nIt may be a good idea to wait about 24 hours before using your normal skincare products, because they can irritate your skin if you apply them immediately after coloring. <img> Shampoo your beard. If your beard comes out too dark, you can lighten it a little by showering right away while the dye is still fresh. It may also help to scrub your facial hair with a clarifying shampoo, although this may strip away more color than you want.\nBlow dry your beard on a low heat setting or let it air dry to avoid staining your towels.\nAfter your first shampoo, you can go back to showering, cleaning and trimming your beard as usual. <img> ", "Rinse your beard lightly when you shower. Avoid handling your newly-dyed facial hair too much, as the friction may rub off the coloring. Instead, let the water run through your beard and comb it out gently with your fingers. Most of the time, a simple rinse will be enough to keep your beard clean and your color intact.\nHot water is more likely to cause fading than cooler temperatures.\nWait until your beard is dry before brushing it or applying any other products, like lotions or oils. <img> Use color protecting products. Invest in shampoos and conditioners formulated for use on color-treated hair. These are designed to clear away dirt and oil without affecting the hair's color. You'll be able to find these types of products in the beauty aisle of most major supermarkets and pharmacies.\nIf you're used to shampooing and conditioning your beard every time you shower, consider cutting down to once or twice a week. <img> Touch up your beard periodically. Most dyes are non-permanent, which means they'll need to be reapplied when they begin to fade. For follow up colorings, you'll probably only need to go through a single round of coloring. Treating your beard regularly will keep it looking thick, full and youthful.\nAim to dye your beard every 3-6 weeks, or sooner if needed.\nBecause of how fast facial hair grows, your beard's roots may need to be touched up more frequently than the rest of it. <img> " ]

[ "Practice, practice, practice. Sing all the time to exercise your voice and keep it strong. Practice singing a variety of songs with different tones and ranges. The goal is to get as much practice in as many different areas as possible.\nSing in your room, in the shower, in the car, with friends. <img> Take singing lessons online or in private to improve your vocal skills. Finding a good vocal coach is probably one of the most important things you can do to further your music career. Even people who naturally have an amazing singing voice can benefit from professional lessons. Singing lessons teach you more than just how to sound good, they also help you to:\nUse proper breathing techniques\nStay in key while under pressure\nClearly enunciate and articulate your words\nAccess a wider vocal range without straining\nBuild your confidence <img> Find something unique about yourself and develop your own style. The goal here is to discover what makes you stand out from everyone else. You may have to experiment to find your own voice and what sets you apart from everyone else.\nIf you have the ability to alternate between alto and soprano, use that skill to show off how your talent spans a wide vocal range.\nMaybe you have a raspy voice and a gritty vocal style that works great for soul music.\nPlaying an instrument like the guitar or piano can also set you apart and help you stand out. <img> Sing on a stage to get familiar with performing in front of people. Once you feel confident in the strength of your voice, take the next step to showing it off to strangers. It’s typically much easier to sing to yourself or in front of friends and family who care about you. Singing in front of a group of strangers takes a lot more courage!\nSing karaoke at a local spot or join a school or church choir. While these types of performances are “safe” because they are done for fun or with a group for a good cause, they are still a good starting point for putting yourself out there. <img> Perform in places that take you out of your comfort zone. After you’ve nailed stage performances, branch out and try something new. Try being a guest singer with a local band or singing on the patio at a restaurant. Singing at any sort of venue that is new or different for you will help.\nYou may not get paid when you are first starting out, but you will probably be able to set out a tip jar. If you do get paid for performing, consider it a bonus!\nNo 2 venues, performances, or even songs will be exactly alike. Give yourself opportunities to experience as many different factors as you can. All of these experiences will work to prepare you to be able to give a successful performance no matter what the circumstances.\nYou can’t be shy. Put yourself out there and introduce yourself to the people you want to work with. If there’s a particular band you want to play with, ask if you can come to one of the practices. Using mutual acquaintances can also be helpful in finding venues to perform at and/or people to sing with.\nThese experiences can also help give you a sense of what kind of performances you want to do. You may discover that you would rather sing with a group or a band instead of solo. <img> Have a go-to song that you nail every time. Always be prepared. If you’re asked to get up and sing unexpectedly, or the instrumentals or background music don’t work during an audition, you need to have something to fall back on. Choose a song that you can sing perfectly, every time.\nYour go-to song should be familiar to most audiences, well-liked, and within your natural vocal range.\nAs you become more experienced, this list will become longer and you will have multiple songs that you can sing perfectly no matter what. <img> Practice singing a variety of cover songs. A lot of singers don't write their own songs, and that's OK. Particularly when you're first starting out, you want people to pay more attention to the quality of your voice than the quality of your songwriting. Build up a \"set list\" of 10 to 15 cover songs you know you can really knock out of the park, and practice getting better at them.\nChoose a good mix of current and classic songs.\nA good way to get a cover noticed is to drastically alter the tone, tempo, or instrumentation of a popular song. Compare the several different versions of \"Hallelujah,\" or listen to the Civil Wars' cover of Michael Jackson's \"Billie Jean\" for ideas.\nDon’t worry about royalties for performing cover songs live. Copyright and licensing issues only come into play if you are recording and distributing those songs. <img> ", "Set lots of small, achievable goals for yourself. Choose a goal that is specific and achievable, and then give yourself a timeframe to accomplish it. Don’t just say, “I want to be a famous singer one day.” Try something like, “I want to sing at an outdoor venue this summer.” Then take the steps to get there. <img> Find a singing gig that pays. It may not pay a lot, but getting paid to sing will help you validate your potential as a singer. You may have to do a few initial gigs for free, but once you get yourself out there, it will become easier to find paying work.\n\nLook for gigs singing at a restaurant or lounge, for weddings or parties, as a backup singer for another group, in a theatre production, or even a talent competition. <img> Start working on your own music to increase your credibility. Writing your own songs would be a huge boost to your credibility. But don’t feel bad if writing isn’t your thing—a lot of singers rely on others to write their songs for them. The goal here is to put out some fresh new music instead of relying solely on cover songs.\nIf you opt to have someone write your songs for you, you then have to decide whether to give them credit or contract them as a ghost writer. In general, fans appreciate the honesty. <img> Connect with other music professionals to expand your opportunities. Network in person and online to get to know more people in the music field. Other singers and professionals were once in your position and they may have experiences and advice that they would like to share with you. Just ask.\nThe more people you know, the more opportunities you create for yourself. By meeting one person, you have the potential to connect with their other connections as well.\nIf there is someone who you want to know, try flattering them. Say something like, “You are an amazing performer. You always look so calm and at ease on stage. How do you do it?” <img> Get involved in the local music scene. Spend as much time as you can hanging out in places where successful musicians/producers meet. Go to clubs and dance halls and act like you're part of the industry, even if they don't know who you are.\nWhen planning a vacation, try to go to a city known for music. Travel to places like Nashville, Memphis, NYC, LA, New Orleans, Austin or Las Vegas and mix it up with the local musicians. <img> Get yourself a manager if you need help handling the workload. As you get more into your music career—especially if you are balancing other responsibilities like work, school, or family—you may find it difficult to keep up with everything. A manager can help you stay organized and will help with promoting you and advancing your career.\nUse your manager to help find gigs, plan events, handle money, and make long-term plans.\nThe standard pay for managers is a 15% commission. However, you may be able to save some money in the early stages of your career by enlisting the help of a supportive and business-minded friend or family member.\nThe most important thing about finding a manager, is finding one that fits you. Make sure they are trustworthy, personable, and have the skills needed to help you succeed. <img> ", "Establish a strong presence on social media. The more platforms you use, the more exposure you will get and the more connections you will make. Set up accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.\nYou may have personal accounts set up already, but consider making separate accounts—like a Fan Page on Facebook—specifically for your artist profile.\nIf you like to write, consider blogging. It’s a great way for your fans to get a more in-depth look of your journey. <img> Make your own YouTube channel and post to it regularly. With over 1 billion site visits per month, having your own YouTube channel is an easy way to get yourself more exposure by reaching a global audience.\nOnce you create your channel, share it with your family and friends and on your social media accounts. Ask everyone you know to support you by sharing your link as well. <img> Make a demo to promote yourself locally. Visit a professional recording studio or make your own home studio to record a few of your best songs. You can put your demo on CDs, flash drives, or an online playlist.\nGive your demo to club DJs, local radio stations, and recording studios and labels. <img> Share your music on an online music distribution platform. Sharing your music digitally will give people across the world access to stream, download, and purchase your music. You can even get paid royalties for it!\nLANDR, CD Baby, Ditto Music, Record Union, Reverbnation, and iMusician are a few distributors you can look into.\nEach company has different terms of service and fees, so it’s important that you educate yourself about which service will be the best for you. <img> Create your own business cards to hand out when needed. Handing someone a business card has a different feel than just giving out your phone number. Plus, once someone puts your number in their phone, who’s to say they will remember who you are afterwards? A good business card will have your contact information as well as what you do, and will make you stand out as a prepared professional.\nYou can design and make your own business cards at home or through a local or online print company. <img> ", "Learn to brush off negative criticism to keep your focus. If someone says something that is hurtful, simply ignore it. Do not spend your time dwelling on anything that doesn’t benefit you or help you achieve your goals. It’s a hard lesson for some people, but you have to learn to be okay with people not liking you, making negative comments, and even acting out.\nRemember that there are some people who dislike Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. This dislike doesn’t take away the fact that they are famous and successful. <img> Accept constructive criticism to make improvements. You can recognize constructive criticism by the balance of positive and negative feedback. Someone may tell you about an area that you need to improve on while also letting you know something you did well.\nFeedback that you can actually use will usually come from other singers, your vocal coach, and professionals in the music industry.\nBe aware that sometimes friends and family can be too nice. They may think you are perfect just the way you are and may not be able to give you real, helpful advice and/or suggestions for improvement. <img> Keep moving forward if you get rejected. Being rejected is probably one of the most difficult obstacles you will face on your journey. The music industry is extremely competitive and as such, some artists have to get rejected—it’s the nature of the business. Do not let it get you down. Continue to practice patience and perseverance.\nIf you are rejected for a show or during an audition, ask for the reason why. It’s possible that it may not have anything to do with your talent or ability, but rather the look they are aiming for in their show, etc. <img> Implement the feedback you receive to help improve yourself. Understanding why you were turned down is only one part of the process. The next thing you need to do is reflect on the feedback and then take steps to implement it. This will only make you better.\nIf you were told that you weren’t loud enough—sing louder during your practices and training sessions to help strengthen your voice. If you were told that you don’t have a good stage presence—work on your facial expressions and think about incorporating some more movement or adding an instrument while you sing. <img> " ]

[ "Keep track of how you feel every day for 2 weeks. If you have a depressed mood, such as feelings of sadness, and you have lost interest or pleasure in things that were previously pleasurable, you may be depressed. These symptoms should be present most of the day and nearly every day for at least 2 weeks.\nThese symptoms may last for 2 weeks or more and they may stop and come back again. These are called “recurrent episodes.” In this case, the symptoms are more than just a “bad day.” They are severe changes in mood that affect the way someone functions socially or at their job. You may have stopped going to school or showing up for work. Similarly, these feelings might make you lose interest in some of your favorite hobbies or activities, like playing sports, doing crafts, or visiting with friends.\nIf you have undergone a major life event, such as a death in the family, you can exhibit many depressive symptoms and not be clinically depressed. Consult with your doctor or therapist to determine if you are experiencing more depressive symptoms than is typical in the normal grieving process. <img> Pay attention to other symptoms of depression. In addition to feeling sad and losing interest in things, a depressed person will also show other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least 2 weeks. Looking at your list of feelings for the past 2 weeks, check if you have 3 or more additional typical symptoms. These symptoms can include:\nSignificant loss of appetite or loss of weight\nDisrupted sleep (either unable to sleep or sleeping too much)\nFatigue or loss of energy\nIncreased agitation or decreased movement noticeable by others\nFeelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt\nHaving difficulty concentrating or feeling indecisive\nRecurrent thoughts of death or suicide, attempting suicide or having a plan for suicide <img> Get help immediately if there are thoughts of suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please seek help immediately by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. You should not try to get rid of these thoughts without the help of a professional. <img> Distinguish between depression and \"the blues.\" The blues are a valid set of feelings that can be brought on by stress, major life changes (both positive and negative), and even weather. The key to distinguishing between depression and the blues is knowing the severity and frequency of the feelings or symptoms. If you have had symptoms of depression nearly every day for 2 weeks or longer, you may be depressed.\nA major life event, such as the death of a loved one, can bring on symptoms similar to depression. A noticeable difference may be, during the mourning process, that positive memories of the deceased are possible and one may still gain pleasure from certain activities. Depressed people have a harder time doing normal activities with a sense of pleasure. <img> Write down the activities you've done in the last few weeks. Make a list of every activity, from going to work or attending classes to eating and taking a shower. Observe if there are patterns in your activities. Also notice if there is a decrease in frequency of certain types of activities that you normally do willingly or happily.\nUse this list to observe if you are engaging in risky behaviors. People who are depressed may do risky things because they no longer care about the outcome of their lives, and may need help from others to take care of themselves.\nIf you are depressed, this may be a difficult task to complete. Take your time with it, or ask a trusted family member or friend to help you write a list. <img> Ask if others have noticed a difference in your mood. Talk with a trusted family member or friend to see if they’ve noticed differences in the way you act. While a person’s own experience is most important, the opinions of other people who know the person well are also important.\nOthers may notice that you are prone to unprovoked bouts of crying or the inability to complete simple tasks like taking a shower. <img> Ask your doctor if your physical condition contributes to depression. Some illnesses cause depressive symptoms, especially those related to the thyroid or other parts of the body’s hormone system. Talk with your doctor to find out if a physical medical condition might be contributing to depression.\nCertain medical conditions, especially terminal or chronic conditions, may carry a risk for depressive symptoms. In these cases, an objective medical professional is essentially for helping to understand the source of the symptoms and how to alleviate them. <img> ", "Choose a mental health professional. There are different types of therapists, each of whom offers different skills or specialties. These include counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. You can see one or a combination of different ones.\n\nCounseling psychologists: Counseling psychology is a field of therapy that focuses on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed.\n\nLicensed professional counselor or licensed social worker: These types of mental health providers are often much easier to find and schedule counseling sessions with than psychologists. Ask your doctor for a referral or find one in your area by searching online.\n\nClinical psychologists: These are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and therefore, they tend to focus more on psychopathology, or the study of behavioral or mental disorders.\n\nPsychiatrists: These may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice, but are typically consulted when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication, although some states now allow psychologists to prescribe medication. <img> Get a referral. For help finding a counselor, consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or your doctor.\nOther professional associations like the American Psychological Association may provide search functions for locating their members in your area. <img> Shop around for a therapist. Find someone who makes you feel welcome and at ease. A bad counseling experience can put you off the whole idea for years, which could deprive you of valuable therapy. Remember that not all mental health professionals are alike; find one you like and stick with them.\nTherapists will generally prompt you to speak with careful questions, and then listen to what you have to say. It can be nerve-wracking at first to open up to your counselor, but most people find it hard to stop talking after a few minutes have passed. <img> Make sure your therapist is licensed. Mental health professionals must be licensed to practice in your state. The website of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards provides some basic information about how to choose a therapist, what the licensing requirements are in your state, and how to check whether someone is licensed. <img> Check with your health insurance. Although mental illnesses are legally required to be covered to the same extent as a so-called physical illness, the type of insurance you have can still affect the kind and amount of therapy you receive. Be sure to check with your insurance company so that you get any referrals needed before starting treatment. This will also ensure that you are seeing someone who will be covered by your insurance. <img> Ask your therapist about different types of therapy. Three main therapies have most consistently shown benefit to patients. These are cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy and behavioral psychotherapy. There are numerous other approaches as well. Your therapist will be able to determine the best course of action for you.\n\nCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): The goal of CBT is to challenge and change beliefs, attitudes, and preconceptions that are thought to underlie depressive symptoms and to effect change to maladaptive behaviors.\n\nInterpersonal therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on life changes, social isolation, deficits in social skills, and other interpersonal issues that may contribute to depressive symptoms. IPT may be particularly effective if a specific event (such as a death) has triggered a recent depressive episode.\n\nBehavioral psychotherapy: Behavioral therapies aim to schedule enjoyable activities while minimizing unpleasant experiences through techniques such as activity scheduling, self-control therapy, social skills training, and problem solving. <img> Be patient. The effects of counseling are gradual. Expect to attend regular sessions for at least a few months before noticing any permanent effect. Don't give up hope before you've given it time to work. <img> ", "Ask a psychiatrist about antidepressants. Antidepressants affect the neurotransmitter system of the brain to try to counteract problems in how neurotransmitters are made and/or used by the brain. Antidepressants are categorized based on the neurotransmitters they affect.\nThe most common types are SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, and tricyclics. Names of some of the most widely used antidepressants can be found by searching for antidepressants online. A psychiatrist will also know the best choices for medications for your particular case.\nYour psychiatrist may have you try a few different medications until one seems to work. Some antidepressants backfire on some people, so it's very important to stay in close contact with your practitioner and note any negative or unwelcome change in mood immediately. Usually, switching to a different class of drug will fix the problem. <img> Ask a psychiatrist about antipsychotics. If an antidepressant alone isn’t working, your therapist might recommend an antipsychotic. There are 3 antipsychotics (aripiprazole, quetiapine, risperidone). There is also an antidepressant/antipsychotic combination therapy (fluoxetine/olanzapine), which is approved for use along with a standard antidepressant. These can treat depression when an antidepressant alone is not working. <img> Pair medication with psychotherapy. To maximize how medication works, continue to visit a mental health professional on a regular basis while taking the medication. <img> Take your medication regularly. Antidepressants take time to work, because they slowly and gently modify the brain's chemical balance. Generally speaking, it will take at least three months to see any lasting effect from an antidepressant. <img> ", "Write down patterns in your moods. Use a journal to keep track of patterns that may affect your mood, energy, health, and sleep. Journaling can also help you process your emotions and gain insight into why certain things make you feel the way you do.\nThere are people who teach journaling, books about journaling, and even websites to keep online journals if you require more structure. <img> Try to write every day. Try to get into the habit of writing every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Some days you may feel like writing more, while on other days you may have less energy or inspiration. Writing does get easier as you write more frequently, so stick with it to see how it can help. <img> Keep a pen and paper with you at all times. Make it easy to write at a moment’s notice by carrying a journal or notepad and pen with you all the time. Alternately, consider using a simple note-taking application on a phone, tablet computer or other device that you often have with you. <img> Write whatever you want. Just let the words flow and don’t worry if they don’t make much sense. Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or style; and don’t worry about what other people might think. <img> Share only if you want to share. You can keep your journal private if you want to. You can also share some things with family, friends or a therapist if you think it might be helpful. You can also start a public tell-all blog. It is up to you and your comfort level how you use your journal. <img> ", "Eliminate foods that contribute to depression. Processed foods like processed meats, chocolates, sweet desserts, fried foods, processed cereals, and high-fat dairy are known to relate to more symptoms of depression. <img> Eat more foods that can reduce depression. Foods that relate to fewer symptoms of depression include fruits, vegetables, and fish. Increasing your intake of these foods will give your body more nutrients and vitamins that can make your body healthier. <img> Try the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean Diet, referring to the region of the world where the diet is most typical, emphasizes eating fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, legumes and olive oil.\nThis diet also avoids alcohol, which is a depressant itself. <img> Increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids and folate. While there is no evidence that increasing intake of omega-3 fatty acids or folate alone is enough to treat depression, omega-3 fatty acids and folate may have some effects in treating depression when they are used along with another type of therapy. <img> Monitor how your diet affects your mood. Watch your mood a couple of hours after you eat particular foods. If you notice a particularly good or bad mood, think about what food you recently ate. Do you notice a pattern with certain types of foods?\nYou don’t need to keep detailed notes of every nutrient you take in, but it is important to pay attention to what you eat and how it makes you feel to avoid falling back into depression. <img> ", "Check with a medical doctor or personal trainer. Before embarking on a new exercise routine, it is important to figure out what exercises are best for you given your interests, size/strength, and history of injuries (if any). Consult a medical doctor or personal trainer to evaluate your fitness level.\nThis person can also help you determine what exercises could be safe and fun for you, and which can help provide motivation for getting started. <img> Start an exercise regimen. Exercise helps to elevate mood and prevent relapse. In randomized control trials, exercise has been shown to be nearly as effective as medication. Experts think that exercise increases the body’s release of neurotransmitters and hormones and also helps to regulate sleep.\nA positive part of exercise as a treatment for depression is that activities like running do not cost a lot of money. <img> Use the SMART system to set goals. Set goals according to SMART, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. These guidelines will help you experience the reward and reinforcement associated with reaching exercise goals.\nStart with the “A” in SMART in setting your goals. Set an easy goal at first, since attaining it gives you the experience of success early. It will also give you confidence to set your next goal. If you don’t think you can push yourself to do more (such as walking for 10 minutes), then push yourself to do more often (such as walking for 10 minutes every day for a week, then a month, then the whole year). See how long you can keep your streak going. <img> Treat every exercise session as a step forward. Consider every time you exercise as a treatment for your mood and a positive reflection of your will to improve. Even just walking for five minutes at a medium pace is better than no exercise. By taking pride in every accomplishment, no matter how small, you can still feel like you're moving forward and healing yourself. <img> Try cardiovascular exercise. This type of exercise, such as swimming, running or cycling, is an ideal core exercise for treating depression. Choose cardio exercise that's easy on your joints, such as swimming laps or cycling, if you possibly can. <img> Exercise with a friend. Talk to a friend or family member about exercising with you. They may be able to help motivate you to getting outside or going to the gym to exercise. Explain that it won't be easy to motivate you, but that any help they can give will be sincerely appreciated. <img> ", "Increase your exposure to sunlight. Some research suggests increased amounts of sunlight can have a positive effect on mood. This is due to the effects of Vitamin D, which can come from many different sources (not just sunshine). You don’t need to do anything specific when you’re outside; just sitting on a bench and getting some sun can be helpful.\nSome counselors prescribe sunlight lamps for depression patients who live in areas with low winter sunlight: it produces the same effect as going outside and standing under bright sunlight.\nIf you're going to be out in the sun for more than a few minutes, take sensible precautions by applying sunscreen to your bare skin and wearing sunglasses. <img> Get outdoors. Gardening, walking, and doing other activities outdoors can have beneficial effects. While some of these activities are also related to exercise, they do not necessarily need to be exercise-focused. Having exposure to fresh air and nature can be helpful in calming your mind and relaxing your body.\n\tEXPERT TIP\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChloe Carmichael, PhD\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLicensed Clinical Psychologist\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChloe Carmichael, PhD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who runs a private practice in New York City.

When we start helping other people, we start noticing that other people might even have bigger problems than we do, but that they seem to be managing. This can give you hope. <img> Find a creative outlet. There has long been speculation that creativity and depression are linked because some think that it may be the “cost” of being a creative person. Depression, however, may arise more frequently when a creative person has trouble finding an expressive outlet. Find a creative outlet by writing, painting, dancing or doing some other creative activity on a regular basis. <img> ", "Try St. John’s Wort. St. John’s Wort is the alternative medicine that has some effectiveness in milder forms of depression. It has not, however, shown to be much more effective than a placebo in large-scale studies. This medicine can be purchased at natural health food stores.\nBe sure to follow directions on the package for proper dosage and frequency.\nBe sure to buy herbal supplements from a reputable seller. Supplements are only very loosely monitored by the FDA, and as such, levels of purity and quality vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.\nDo not take St. John's Wort with medications such as SSRIs. This can cause your body to have too much serotonin, which can be life threatening.\nSt. John's Wort can make other drugs less effective when taken at the same time. Drugs it can affect include oral contraceptives, antiretroviral medications (e.g., drugs to treat HIV), anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin), hormone replacement therapies, and immunosuppressant medications. Work with your doctor if you are on other medications.\nBecause of the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of St. John’s Wort, the American Psychiatric Association does not recommend it for general use.\nThe National Center for Alternative and Complementary Medicine recommends caution in using homeopathic remedies and encourages open discussions with healthcare providers so that treatment can be coordinated and safe. <img> Try a SAMe supplement. Another alternative supplement is S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe). SAMe is a naturally occurring molecule, and having low levels of SAMe have been linked to depression. SAMe can be taken orally, intravenously (an injection into a vein), or intramuscularly (an injection into the muscle) to boost your SAMe levels.\nThe preparation of SAMe is not regulated and the potency and ingredients can vary among manufacturers.\nBe sure to follow directions on the package for proper dosage and frequency. <img> Seek acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is a part of traditional Chinese medicine that uses needles inserted at specific parts of the body to correct energy blocks or imbalances in the organ. Locate an acupuncture practitioner by searching online or asking your doctor for a referral.\nCheck with your health insurance provider to find out if acupuncture is covered by your insurance.\nEvidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture is mixed. One study has shown a link between acupuncture and normalization of a neuroprotective protein with an effect similar to Prozac. Another study has shown effectiveness comparable to psychotherapy. These studies lend some credibility to acupuncture as a treatment for depression, although more research is needed. <img> ", "Have your therapist prescribe electroconvulsive therapy. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be prescribed in very severe cases of depression, people who are acutely suicidal, people experiencing psychosis or catatonia in addition to depression, or people who have not responded to other treatment. The treatment begins with a mild anesthetic, followed by several shocks delivered to the brain.\nECT has the highest response rate of any antidepressant therapy (70%-90% of patients respond).\nSome limitations of ECT use include the stigma associated with it, as well as potential side effects, including cardiovascular effects and cognitive effects (such as short-term memory loss). <img> Try transcranial magnetic stimulation. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a magnetic coil to stimulate the brain. It is approved by the FDA for use in people with major depressive disorders who do not respond to medication., \nTreatment is required daily, which makes is difficult for the average person to undergo. <img> Try vagus nerve stimulation. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a relatively new treatment that requires implantation of a device for stimulating the vagus nerve, a component of the autonomic nervous system. It is approved for use in people who do not respond to medication., \nData on the effectiveness of VNS is limited and there are potential side effects associated with having a medical device implanted, including interference with other medical devices., <img> Try deep-brain stimulation. Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) is an experimental treatment and has not been approved by the FDA. It requires the implantation of a medical device that is used to stimulate a part of the brain called “Area 25.”\nThere is limited information on the effectiveness of DBS. As an experimental treatment, DBS would only be used if other treatments failed or were not an option. <img> Try neurofeedback. Neurofeedback aims to “re-train” the brain when a person with depression shows a particular pattern of brain activity. Newer forms of neurofeedback are being developed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques.\nNeurofeedback can be costly and requires a lot of time. Insurance companies may not pay for this procedure. <img> " ]

[ "Talk to them about your new boundaries, if you feel comfortable doing so. Although this may seem counterintuitive, it is the clearest way to communicate your feelings to them and helps to avoid miscommunication. Explain to the person that your relationship is negatively affecting you and outline what steps you will be taking to get some space from the relationship.\nFor example, “Our relationship is making me anxious so I have decided that I need some space for the next few months. During that time I won’t be responding to any messages on social media.”\nTry to communicate in a firm but kind manner.\nLet the other person know that you actively want to be working on making the relationship better with them. <img> Write them a letter if you'd rather not talk to them in person. If you feel threatened or anxious around the person, you may find it difficult to communicate clearly. In this case, write them a letter outlining your feelings and explain that you won’t be talking to them anymore.\nMail the letter to their house if you want to avoid seeing them. <img> Delete their number from your phone. This will stop you from being tempted to text or call the person during lonely moments. Simply go to their profile in your contact list and select “Delete Contact.”\nIf you feel hesitant to delete their number, remember that you are making space in your life for more positive and uplifting people. <img> Block their profile on all your social media platforms. This is a great way to stop yourself from communicating with someone and will also remove the regular reminders of that person from your newsfeed. Consider blocking them instead of unfollowing them, as this will stop them from contacting you in the future.\nDon’t forget to block the person from all your different social media platforms. Consider your Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, Pinterest, and WhatsApp. <img> Avoid the person, when possible. This helps to give you some space while you heal from the difficult or unhealthy relationship. This isn't always possible, but try to make an effort to avoid them where you can.\nFor example, if the person always goes to the same coffee shop, consider going to a different coffee shop.\nIf you live with the person, consider looking for somewhere else to live.\nYou can decide to end the relationship.\nFocus your energy on other positive relationships. <img> ", "Write a short, direct, and kind response to end contact. It can feel a little awkward rejecting someone online; however, it is better to be clear about your feelings, rather than to ghost them and leave them confused. Simply write a short message thanking them for their time, explain that you’re not interested, and wish them the best.\nFor example, “Hi Hannah, thanks for your interest; however, I don’t see us having a romantic relationship in the future. You seem really kind and I wish you all the best!”. <img> Make up an excuse if the person keeps responding to you. The best option is always to be honest. However, if you feel uncomfortable, use a polite excuse to quickly end the conversation. Keep it brief and then avoid replying to any further responses.\nFor example, “Thanks for chatting, but I have recently met someone else” or “I’m taking a break from social media at the moment, as I have taken on extra hours at my job.” <img> Delete the person from your online platform. If the person continues to message you or you feel nervous that you might contact them during a weak moment, don’t feel shy to delete them. This is the most effective way to ensure that you don’t continue to talk to them.\nTo delete someone on Tinder, go to the person’s profile, click on the wheel in the top right corner, and then select “unmatch.” <img> " ]

[ "Improve your peripheral vision. Having a quick reaction time is dependent on being keenly aware of what’s coming. You can strengthen your ability to perceive obstacles and flying objects by paying more attention to your peripheral vision during everyday activities.Tip: While taking a walk or riding in a car, make a point of noticing objects that pop up in your peripheral vision. Practice naming the color of people's hair and the make and model of passing cars as fast as you can.\n\nLook out a window that has a good view and focus your vision on a distant object. Keep looking at this object while you slowly let yourself become more aware of the objects that surround it on either side. Do this exercise once a day, widening your field of vision a little more each time. Gradually, you’ll get in the habit of noticing more objects in your peripheral vision.\nCheck out the video below for martial arts techniques used to improve peripheral vision. <img> Play video games. Playing video games well requires good hand-eye coordination. You must be able to move from thought to action without pause, or you’ll quickly lose the game. Studies show that playing video games for a few minutes each day can help improve reflexes. First person shooters and role-playing games often require the most coordination, but any video game will do the trick. <img> Try hypnosis. Some people have found that a hypnosis technique called neuro-linguistic programming helps increase their awareness of a particular object, giving them the sensation that time has slowed down and they have more than enough time to react. Picture a sports movie that shows a quarterback watching a football arc toward him in slow motion. The football is not actually moving more slowly, of course, but according to its practitioners, neuro-linguistic programming can make it seem that way. <img> Practice mindfulness. Cultivate mindfulness through regular meditation or by focusing on the present moment. Clear your head and try to focus all of your attention on what is happening directly around you. Dismiss thoughts of the past or future and instead focus directly on the sights, sounds, and sensations in the current moment.This will help you build awareness of surroundings that will allow you to notice more and potentially react more readily in situations. <img> ", "Run a nature trail. Since it requires no special equipment or exercise partners, running in the woods may be the easiest way to begin improving your reflexes. Simply find the closest nature trail—preferably one with varied terrain, rather than a wide, flat path—and start running. The uneven footing and unpredictable roots and rocks you’ll dodge will create a variety of stimuli to which your body will have to quickly react. The more often you hit the trail, the quicker your reflexes will get.\nBegin by running at a slow speed. As you feel your reflexes improve over time, push yourself to run faster. Nature trails have a generally higher risk of injury, so it's important to start slow.\nMix things up by choosing a different trail whenever possible. If you get too used to one particular trail, your brain will remember obstacles, and you won’t be improving your reflexes.\nRun the same trail in the other direction if you don’t live close to many nature trails. <img> Practice catching a rubber bouncy ball. Rubber bouncy balls, sometimes referred to as \"reaction balls,\" are 6-sided rubber balls that bounce at unpredictable angles. They may be purchased at most sporting goods stores. Take one of these, or a simple quarter-machine bouncy ball, and toss it against an outdoor wall. \nFocus on catching the ball as it bounces back in your direction. Once your reflex time improves, throw the ball harder, challenging yourself to leap and dive to catch it. <img> Play jacks. For the days when you’re feeling more low-key, grab a set of jacks. This classic children’s game comes with a small ball and 12 metal pieces. Start by lightly bouncing the ball and picking up as many jacks as possible. As you get better at the game, challenge yourself by bouncing the ball with greater speed. You may also spread the jacks farther apart to increase the game’s difficulty. <img> Play dodgeball with a partner. For this exercise, you need a large rubber or foam ball and a friend. Stand in front of a wall, either in a gym or outside in front of a building. Have your partner pitch the ball at you from about 10 feet (3.0 m) away while you practice dodging it. As you get better at dodging the ball, ask your partner to throw it faster and from a closer distance.\nTo make this exercise more difficult, recruit a second pitcher to throw another ball quickly after you have dodged the first one.\nAsk the pitchers to increase unpredictability by faking throws, throwing from different angles, and so on.\nPlaying dodgeball as a team sport is also a great way to improve your reflexes. Practice fielding balls and kicking those that are pitched to you. <img> Try table tennis. Table tennis, or ping pong, is a great sport to help you improve your reflexes and hand-eye coordination. You can find tables or tabletop setups relatively affordably online or at many sporting goods stores. Alternatively, you can join a local table tennis group or club, which will allow you to face off with different partners and take on greater challenges as you work to improve your reflexes.If you have never played table tennis before, a local club or group might be beneficial, as they can help you understand the basics of the game including form and skill-building. <img> Pick a sport to practice regularly. Many sports, including hockey, tennis, badminton, racquetball, and lacrosse, are great activities to help you build your reflexes. Look for an athletic activity where you have to manipulate an object, such as a ball, using a tool, such as a racket or stick. These sports generally require quick reactions, and can help you build both reflexes and situational awareness. <img> Try slow sparring to improve your fighting reflexes. If you play combat sports, like boxing or karate, then slow sparring can be a great way to develop the muscle memory you need to perform your moves faster. Start by practicing your moves with a partner in a slow and deliberate way. As they start to become more automatic, you can gradually speed up.\nWhether you’re sparring in slow motion or at full speed, staying relaxed is key. Before you start a sparring match, take some time to meditate or do deep breathing exercises to help you unwind and stay focused. <img> ", "Eat nutritious food. Keeping your body and brain in optimal shape is imperative if you want quick reflexes. Foods high in refined sugars and trans fats can make you feel sluggish. Make sure you are getting enough protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.\nWhole foods like nuts, fish, berries, greens, and garlic increase cognitive function.\nMake sure to drink plenty of water as well, since dehydration can also lead to lethargy and decreased reflex times. <img> Get plenty of sleep. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sleep helps you have quicker reflexes and perform on a higher level than you otherwise would. Both your body and brain slow down when you’re sleepy, resulting in impaired reflex reactions. Your reflexes will be quickest when you’re well-rested after 7 to 9 hours of sleep.\nA good night's sleep is made up of 4 or 5 sleep cycles, each of which consist of a period of deep sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This adds up to 7 to 9 hours per night.\nIf you didn't sleep well the night before an important race or game, taking a nap a few hours before the event will help you be more alert when it's time to perform. <img> Consider supplements. Certain nutritional supplements are said to lead to improved reflexes. Ginseng, gingko, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and omega 3 fatty acids have all been cited as dietary supplements that may be worth taking for better cognitive function and reaction times. <img> " ]

[ "Hire a lawyer. An experienced attorney is critical to your success in litigation. Court rules are complicated, and a seasoned trial attorney can present the evidence in the most compelling way.\nIf you can afford it, find a lawyer who specializes in the area of law that is the subject of the lawsuit. Some attorneys only practice criminal defense, or they specialize in defamation or employment law. You can find an experienced attorney by visiting your state's bar association website, which runs a referral program. You can search by area of expertise.\nLook at any attorney's website and see what experience he or she has in the area of law. Also check to see if the attorney is certified as a specialist in the area of law.\nFurthermore, be aware that some lawyers only work for plaintiffs or defendants. <img> Find the appropriate court to sue in. Plaintiffs can only file suit in a court that has “jurisdiction” (power) over a defendant. If the plaintiff filed the suit in the wrong court, a defendant can move to have the case dismissed. Generally, a court will have jurisdiction over a defendant if:\nThe defendant lives or does business in the district.\nThe events that are the subject of the lawsuit happened in the district.\nA contract was signed in the district or would have been performed there. <img> Draft a complaint. Your complaint will lay out the facts underlying your dispute and identify what relief you request. In many courts, a plaintiff can use a pre-printed “fill in the blank” form for starting a lawsuit. Check with the court clerk if a form is available.\nIf no form is available, and you do not have a lawyer, then use a form complaint as a guide. The New York Courts system provides a sample you can use.\nAt the top of the document is the header information: the court, the names of the parties, and the case number.\nThen, you should identify the document as your complaint.\nBeneath this, you state relevant facts: your identity, the defendant's identity, and the background facts to the dispute. Number each fact, and include no more than one fact per paragraph.\nThen state what relief you are requesting, typically the amount of money you wish to be awarded for damages.\nAt the bottom comes the date and signature block. <img> File a complaint. You will have to take your complaint and any other documents to the courthouse. File the documents with the court clerk. Typically, you must pay a fee in order to file the documents.\nIf you can't afford the fee, then ask for a fee waiver form. <img> Serve a summons and notice. You must give the person you sue a copy of your complaint as well as a summons. You can get a copy of a blank summons from the court clerk and fill it out.\nYou can serve notice in a variety of ways. The two most popular forms are by mail or by personal service. Ask the court clerk which forms of service are allowed.\nService by mail may be cheapest. You will need to mail the summons and a copy of your complaint certified mail to the defendant's address. You will also have to sign an affidavit or other form attesting that you sent notice. You may get this form from the court clerk.\nYou can also serve notice personally. Typically, you use the sheriff or a private process server to take a copy of the complaint and the summons to the defendant, where they personally deliver it to him or her. Personal service will cost a fee, generally around $50. Most courts prohibit you from serving the papers yourself. <img> Read the complaint or charging document. If you are the defendant in a lawsuit, then you need to know what allegations have been made against you. Identify the causes of action, which are the laws you are alleged to have broken.\nAlso make note of when the complaint was filed and the court in which it was filed. This information will be important later, when you consider bringing a motion to dismiss. <img> Research the law. Identify what elements the plaintiff must prove to win her case. For example, to prove negligence, a plaintiff must establish that the defendant (1) breached (2) a duty of care owed to the defendant, and that this breach (3) caused (4) damages.\nIf any element is missing, then the plaintiff has not sufficiently alleged a cause of action. <img> Study the statute of limitations for your state. Each claim brought by a plaintiff must be brought within a certain amount of time. For example, a breach of contract claim in New York must be brought within six years from the date of the breach. A lawsuit for defamation brought in Utah must be brought within one year. A prosecutor in Colorado must charge you with misdemeanor theft within 18 months of your alleged shoplifting.\nStatutory periods differ by state. Research only the laws for your state. Typically, you can find this information online by searching for the offense and then “statute of limitations.” Nolo is a website that often collects this information. <img> File a motion to dismiss. You can move to have a case dismissed immediately, even before you answer the complaint. A case may be dismissed for a variety of reasons:\nThe statute of limitations period has passed.\nThe plaintiff has failed to state a claim. For example, the plaintiff may claim you were negligent; in other words, that you breached a duty of care owed to her. However, the law may state that you do not owe the plaintiff any duty of care, in which case she has no negligence claim against you.\nThe plaintiff filed the case in the wrong court. Note that if the plaintiff files in the wrong court, he can refile in an appropriate court, provided the statute of limitations hasn't run out. <img> File for a default judgment. If you are a plaintiff and the defendant never responds to your lawsuit, you can move the court to enter a default judgment.\nYou must have properly served the defendant with the complaint and summons. Be sure to have kept copies of your complaint as well as any receipt you received from a process server for serving the complaint on the defendant.\nIf you cannot find the defendant, then it will be difficult to collect on your judgment. But you could put a lien on any property if you can locate it.\nYou cannot seek a default judgment against a member of the military, or in a lawsuit to quiet title to a piece of land. <img> ", "Participate in the discovery process. Before trial, the discovery process allows you to share information and witnesses with the other side that you intend you use at trial.\nThe discovery process includes three basic stages: written discovery, document production, and depositions. At any point during that process, you may want to file a motion to compel discovery if the other side is not giving you information you have reason to believe they have.\nFor example, you may send written questions known as interrogatories to the other side. If you do not receive answers to those questions within a reasonable period of time, you may ask the judge to order the other side to provide answers.\nDuring document production, you or the other side can request any documents that might have anything to do with the case. These documents may have information you can use to help you win the case. If you discover a \"smoking gun\" – a document that proves the person or company you're suing is liable for your damages – you can point it out and demand the other side settle. You also may be able to file a motion for summary judgment, arguing that certain facts or issues have been settled based on that piece of evidence.\nDepositions are live interviews conducted by you and the other side in which you ask questions of someone such as a party or a witness who is under oath. The questions and the answers are recorded by a court reporter, who will later provide you with a transcript of the deposition.\nDuring discovery, both parties also may issue subpoenas to third-party witnesses if other individuals who are not part of the litigation nevertheless have information that may be necessary to the case. For example, if you are suing someone for harassing you, you may need phone records to show how many times a day the person called you. To get those phone records, you would issue a subpoena to the phone company. <img> Identify evidence and witnesses. The parties in a lawsuit have the right to request copies of documents in each other's possession or control in a process called “discovery.” In discovery, you can also request that the other party answer questions, either orally or in writing. If you request a document and the other side claims not to have it, research whether or not they have destroyed it.\nGather any evidence you have that shows the other side has the document. For example, did the other party refer to this document in an email? Is the document mentioned in a contract or other document?\nIf you have a good faith reason to believe that the other party has destroyed evidence, file a motion for an order to compel discovery. Explain in the motion why you believe the other party has the document and state that it has not been turned over.\nIn oral argument over the motion, you can raise the issue that the defendant may have destroyed or hidden the document. <img> Move for discovery sanctions. If the other side has destroyed evidence, then you can move for sanctions. The court has many options for sanctions up to and including rendering a default judgment against the other side.\nIf the discovery violation is sufficiently egregious (destroying a contract that is at issue), then move for a default judgment. You can win without even going to court.\nThe court may be unwilling to enter a default judgment. But you can effectively win your case anyway. You can ask the court to prevent the other party from offering any evidence on the topic. For example, if the party's defense is that you sent an email agreeing to a change in a contract, but that party destroyed the email, then the judge can prevent the party from arguing that you ever agreed to the change. <img> File a motion for summary judgment. After the close of discovery, either party may move for summary judgment. You should argue that there are “no genuine issues of material fact” and that you are “entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”\nResearch your state law for the precise wording of the standard, but the same threshold requirement will apply: there must be no material factual issues in dispute and the law, when applied to the undisputed facts, should favor judgment for you.\nYou should attach supporting affidavits to the motion, if necessary. For example, if witness testimony is critical to the motion, a notarized affidavit laying out the witness's testimony should be attached.\nYou must also serve a copy of the motion on the other party after filing with the court. Ask the court clerk what methods are acceptable. Typically, you can either mail it or personally serve it using the sheriff or a process server. <img> Participate in alternate dispute resolution. You may resolve your lawsuit without ever going into court by using a method of alternate dispute resolution. The most popular are negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.\nIn negotiation, you and the other party meet to try and hammer out a compromise that is acceptable to you both. If an agreement is reached, then each party signs a waiver, relieving each other of any further liability. Settlement negotiations are an art, and you should have an attorney represent you in them.\nWith mediation, you and the other party meet with a neutral third party, who facilitates discussion. The third-party neutral does not decide the case; however, he or she will help the parties find common ground. The mediator may also propose potential ways to resolve the dispute. Mediation can be a cost-effective way of resolving a dispute to your (and the other party's) satisfaction.\nIn arbitration, the parties submit their case to an arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators, who will decide for one side or the other, like a judge in a courtroom. Although there are many different forms of arbitration, arbitration typically resembles a trial. Each party has the opportunity to present witnesses and introduce evidence. You may be represented by an attorney. <img> ", "Research defenses. If you are a defendant, you will want to know what defenses can defeat a claim against you. Conversely, if you are a plaintiff or prosecutor, you will want some idea of what a defendant will argue.\nIn criminal cases, a defendant usually argues that the government failed to meet its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. A defendant raises reasonable doubt in a variety of ways: by providing an alibi, by undermining the credibility and character of the prosecution's witnesses, and by offering witnesses who contradict the state's evidence.\nA criminal defendant may also admit committing the crime but claim he was excused or justified. Common excuses include insanity or entrapment. The most common justification is self-defense.\nCivil law provides many more defenses. For example, a breach of contract may be excused because the plaintiff materially breached first. Or a defendant can claim that a plaintiff assumed the risk of injury when she went skydiving.\nMost civil defenses are specific to the cause of action. Run a few keyword searches for the causes of action in a case law database. If you do not have access to LexisNexis or Westlaw, you can use the free Public Library of Law. Look for the most common defenses raised in similar lawsuits. <img> Develop a theory of the case. Your theory of the case is what you believed happened and why. You must support each key fact of your case with evidence.\nYour theory must also be based on the law. For example, if you are accused of deliberately crashing into someone's car, your theory of the case may be that the victim was negligent when she backed into the road. Unfortunately, the plaintiff's negligence will not relieve you of liability if you deliberately hit her. Therefore, your “theory of the case” could instead be that you didn't deliberately hit her but only negligently did, or that she deliberately backed into you.\nYour theory should also account for “bad facts.” For example, if you attempted to flee the scene of a crime after hitting someone with your car, that fact could be used to support the inference that you knew you were guilty. However, your theory might be that you fled because you were shaken up and confused by the crash. <img> Prepare for court. You should identify with your attorney the witnesses you will call and what testimony you hope to elicit from them. You should also discuss your own testimony, if you intend to testify. Have your attorney do a couple practice runs with you where she asks questions and you formulate answers.\nDress professionally. You have 3-5 seconds to make a first impression. You want it to be a good one. Wear a suit or a conservative dress, and go easy on the jewelry.\nBehave appropriately. Be sure to stand whenever you speak to the judge (or jury), do not interrupt anyone, and address the judge as “Your Honor” or “Judge” whenever you speak to him or her.\nTake notes. Keep track of what the other party's witnesses say so you will be able to question them more effectively. <img> Deliver an opening statement. Your lawyer will provide the jury or judge with a sneak peek of the evidence. An opening statement should not be so long as to bore jurors, but it should efficiently lay out a roadmap of your case.\nThe opening statement is also an opportunity for your lawyer to explain “bad facts” up front and hint at how your theory of the case will account for them. <img> Present evidence. The evidence should support your theory of the case. The plaintiff or prosecutor goes first. The defendant goes second.\nThe bulk of evidence will consist of witnesses and documents. Witnesses must always establish that they have personal knowledge of the events they testify about. In practice, this means that the witness must establish that she was in a position to observe the events she is testifying to. She can prove this with testimony.\nYou must also establish that any document you introduce is what you claim it is. A witness can testify as to the document's identity. <img> Move for directed verdict. If you are the defendant at trial, you can move for directed verdict immediately after the plaintiff or prosecution presents its evidence. If they have failed to meet their burden of proof, you don't even need to present a defense. This is also called a “Judgment as a Matter of Law.”\nIn criminal cases, the burden of proof is guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases, the burden is typically a “preponderance of evidence,” which means that the evidence must point more in the plaintiff's favor than in the defendant's. Think of “preponderance” as 50.1% in favor of the plaintiff.\nYou can also move for directed verdict at the close of all evidence. At that point, both the plaintiff and the defendant may make the motion.\nJudges will rarely grant a directed verdict. Nevertheless, you don't lose anything by making a motion for directed verdict. Once it is denied, the defendant will then have an opportunity to present evidence. <img> Deliver a closing argument to the jury. An effective closing argument should explain how the evidence presented supports your theory of the case. You should open and end strong. Research shows that jurors remember most the first and last things they hear. <img> Move for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Provided you moved for a directed verdict (or its equivalent, judgment notwithstanding the law) before the case was submitted to the jury, you may renew that motion after the jury returns its verdict.\nNow that there is a jury verdict the judge may be more willing to consider your argument. <img> Appeal. If you are unhappy with the verdict, then you can move to appeal. You will have to file a Notice of Appeal, which is a form available from the court clerk. Ask for the form.\nYou will have to file the Notice of Appeal and send a copy to the other party.\nAppeals are complicated and expensive. If you do not have an attorney, you should meet with one to talk about your options. <img> " ]

[ "Understand what Scientology is. Scientologists consider their religion to be a practical philosophy or self-actualization method, more so than a religion in the strictest sense of the word. As a religion, Scientology is relatively new, extending from writer L. Ron Hubbard’s mid-century method of self-improvement via past-life exploration and auditing, called dianetics.\nThere is spiritual mythology related to Scientology which can sound a little sci-fi to the uninitiated, but Scientology itself is about the practice more than the belief in the system. Scientologists do believe that the inner self is a \"cosmic\" being, something that lives beyond the body and which needs to be properly maintained when in your care.\nApplying the principles of the Tone Scale and Dynamics to your life is thought to help eliminate the reliance of modern society on mood-altering substances and other primarily commercial methods of “self-improvement.” <img> Inform yourself. More than perhaps any other contemporary religion, Scientology is widely criticized and mocked in pop culture, for a variety of reasons. Scientology calls itself a religion, but it is often accused of being a cult, a pseudo-religion, or a pyramid scheme. If you're planning to join Scientology, it's crucial to learn about it from a variety of sources rather than relying on official statements from Scientology only.\nAccording to Scientology, the organization does not make it impossible to \"leave\" the church, nor do they outlaw the use of certain medications. However, Scientology has been accused of behaving like a totalitarian system that disconnects its members from friends, colleagues, or family members deemed to be antagonistic towards Scientology. Furthermore, Scientology does strongly oppose the medical specialities of psychiatry and psychology. <img> Learn what to expect from Scientology. If you choose to explore Scientology, there's a lot you should expect to learn and study. Some of the vocabulary can be momentarily disorienting, so having some idea of what to expect when you're first exploring can help you negotiate the somewhat complicated waters of Scientology.\n\nDianetics is the original method invented by Hubbard as a self-improvement method, regarding a mind-body connection. The goal of dianetics is to get your \"reactive mind\" out of the way, leading to a happier, more fulfilled state of being.\n\nThetans are believed to be immortal beings, insubstantial in nature, that rule your body. Scientologists believe Thetans create life and exist independent of our bodies beyond death. This is the Scientologist's conception of the human soul, essentially. Practising Scientology and finding practical benefit from it doesn't require that you \"believe\" in Thetans in the strictest sense of the word. <img> Request introductory literature from the church. It would be impossible to give an accurate primer on the wide body of thought that represents Scientology in a few hundred words. The church is known for the easy access to and volume of reading materials associated with it, so get in touch with the Church of Scientology, via its website and request literature. It’s generally free of cost.\n\n Scientology: A Religious Philosophy by L. Ron Hubbard outlines the basic tenets of Scientology, though more easily digestible volumes are frequently produced by the church for more easy consumption.\nIn general, if you request materials, you’ll likely be inundated with more boxes than you know what to do with. This is a promotional tactic used by the church to spread the word. Be forewarned and expect lots of books. <img> ", "Attend a regional conference. One of the most common ways to learn more about Scientology is to attend a regional conference in your area, where Scientologists gather for discussion and recruitment. These tend to meet in large cities, yearly and are an excellent opportunity for interested persons. It's also a great place to pick up free or cheap Scientology literature so that you can learn more on your own. <img> Find a weekly gathering in your area. If you want to attend Scientology services and gatherings on a more regular basis, find a church in your area and make contact. Express your interest in joining the church. You can find a branch of the church of Scientology in your area by clicking here.\nThe actual process of joining the church will differ slightly depending on the particular branch of the church itself and the other Scientologists. Most cities won't have more than one branch, however, so it's difficult to do much exploring.\nIf you don't like the church in your town, consider just reading up and developing your own practice on your own. Again, it's a practical method, which means you'll do most of the work yourself. <img> Talk to other Scientologists. Scientologists are not a part of some mysterious celebrity cult or shadowy Illuminati, and meeting some for discussion and fellowship can answer a lot of your questions and assuage a lot of your concerns. Regular people from all walks of life practice Scientology. Meet and talk to them.\nChurch and regional conferences are obviously the best places to meet other practitioners, but you might also be able to find more informal discussion groups in your area. Consider starting one, like a book group, in your town. <img> Consider completing an audit. Auditing is completed by meeting with an experienced Scientologist who will guide you through the process, asking questions and reading your Thetan quality with an E-meter. It's a lot like Scientology \"confession.\" Completing an audit is a lot like a cross between past life or regression therapy and a simple visit to the doctor. You'll basically sit, chat with a Scientologist, and answer some questions. That's it.\nChurch audits are done regularly, should you join a church. Field auditors and mission auditors are also dispatched frequently to travel, like an old-style Evangelical Revival, to get the word out and to show people what Scientology is all about. This can be an excellent way to experience your first audit and see if it's right for you. <img> ", "Commit to improving your life. The Church of Scientology claims that the method works 100% of the time for people who commit fully to using it. In that \"commit fully\" though, is a lot of real work. Do you want to improve your life and reach a state of contentment and happiness? Are you willing to do what it takes? If you're interested in Scientology, approaching it with an open mind and a full commitment to change your life for the better is necessary. <img> Start ranking your emotions on the tone scale. The Tone Scale is used in auditing to place your overall attitude and emotional state somewhere on a quantifiable scale, which runs from +40 (Serenity of Being) to -40 (Total Failure). Depending on your situation, your attitudes will fall in a variety of places on the tone scale at any given time.\nIt's fine to explore the tone scale by yourself, but it's also important to let an experienced auditor guide you through the process to more thoroughly integrate the concepts into your practice. <img> Consider the dynamics of your actions. Dynamics are an essential part of Scientology, referring to the eight classifications of survival, which Scientologists believe is an essential part of changing your life for the better. A person progresses through various dynamics over the course of a life, the first of which is your innate desire to survive. Babies have this desire and animals, but we gradually progress through various mind-body stages of improvement over the course of a life dedicated to improvement. This is a life-long struggle. The Eight Dynamics are as follows:\nSelf\nCreativity\nGroup Survival\nSpecies\nLife Forms\nPhysical Universe\nSpiritual Dynamic\nInfinity <img> Receive periodic audits to stay on track. The life of a Scientologist involves receiving period audits, assessing your personal growth and the stages of your improvement, and realigning your practice in accordance with where you're going. Receiving periodic audits is an essential part of improving your life and your practice as a Scientologist, to get your mind-body alignment in harmony. <img> " ]

[ "Conduct a “360 degree check.” A “360 degree check” is when you actively turn your head and shoulders to look all around your vehicle in a complete circle. Make sure there is nothing in your way or moving toward you that you may need to take into account before backing up.\nIt’s okay to use your mirrors to aid in your check, but it’s important that you actively look around to ensure you don’t miss anything.\nMake sure to look toward the ground on either side of your vehicle using your head and mirrors to ensure there are no people or animals laying in your path. <img> Place your right foot on the brake. When driving forward or in reverse, your right foot should be the only one on the gas or brake pedal. If your car is equipped with a standard transmission, your left foot manages the clutch, but in vehicle’s with automatic transmissions, the left foot simply goes unused. Press your right foot on the brake pedal firmly, so that the vehicle won’t move once it is in reverse.\nThe brake pedal is in the middle on vehicle’s equipped with a standard transmission and is the furthest to the left in automatic vehicles.\nThe brake pedal is the widest pedal. <img> Put your left hand on the top middle of the steering wheel. While it may be customary to drive with your hands at ten and two o’clock on the steering wheel, backing up will require that you turn your body to the right. Place your left hand at the top of the wheel so you can easily make small adjustments to keep the vehicle moving straight as you back up.\nIt may be difficult to reach the steering wheel with your right hand while backing up, so steering with one hand is optimal. <img> Put the vehicle in reverse. Depending on the transmission your vehicle came equipped with, there are a few ways you may need to shift into reverse. On automatic vehicles, it usually requires pressing a button on the shift lever and pulling it backward until it is aligned with the letter “R.” In standard vehicles equipped with a five speed transmission, you can usually shift into reverse by pressing the shift lever all the way to the left and pulling it backward.\nIn vehicles equipped with six speed standard transmissions, reverse is usually all the way to the left and up, next to first gear.\nSome cars require that you press down on the shift lever or press a release to access the reverse gear.\nIf you are unsure of how to shift into reverse, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual. <img> Look out the back of the car over your passenger side shoulder. Provided your view is not obstructed, twist your body to the passenger side so you can look out the back window of your vehicle over your right or passenger side shoulder. Make sure you do not remove your foot from the brake pedal. If you are driving a box truck or other vehicle that blocks your view out the back window, you will have to rely on your side mirrors to guide you.\nYou may choose to place your right hand on the top of the passenger seat to help you comfortably look out the back.\nIf you are relying on your mirrors, make sure to check each of them frequently. <img> Ease your right foot off the brake slowly. As you take the pressure off of the brake pedal with your right foot, the vehicle will begin to move backward. Most vehicle’s engines idle at a high enough RPM (revolutions per minute) to propel the vehicle without any need to apply the gas. Keep your foot hovering over the brake pedal as you back up just in case you need to stop or slow down.\nEase off the brake slowly to ensure you do not accelerate too quickly to easily manage..\nIf your vehicle is equipped with a standard transmission, you will need to use the gas as you ease off the clutch, but can then allow the vehicle to idle. <img> ", "Turn the wheel in the direction you want the back of the car to turn. The dynamic of driving in reverse is quite different than that of normal driving because the wheels you turn to steer are at the front of the car. As you back up, make small adjustments by turning the wheel in the direction you want the back of the car to turn toward.\nTurning the wheel to the left as you back up will cause the back of the car to go left and vice versa.\nStop the car if you feel uneasy about the direction it is heading, then set off again once you’ve gained control. <img> Check the clearance of the front end. As you turn the vehicle, the front end of the car will swing in the opposite direction the back end is turning. Check the area around the front of the car frequently as you back up slowly to ensure you don’t hit or run over anything with the front wheels.\nIf you are turning left as you back up, the front of the car will swing to the right, and vice versa.\nMake sure you are going slowly enough that you can check the front of the car for clearance without hitting anything. <img> Transition your right foot to the gas pedal if needed. If you are backing up a hill or need to turn, you may need to utilize the gas pedal occasionally while backing up. Once your right foot is completely off of the brake, move it over the gas pedal to the right of the brake. Press down on the pedal slowly to control the amount of speed you pick up as you back up.\nMake subtle adjustments to your speed by applying pressure to the gas pedal.\nBring your foot back to the brake once you have gained sufficient speed or if you need to slow back down. <img> Use two hands to steer when turning. If you need to turn around an obstacle while backing up, you may want to use both hands to manipulate the steering wheel. Using one hand, you can usually only turn the wheel up to ninety degrees in each direction, so if you need to take a steeper turn, using both hands may help. Make sure that you can still see behind you as you place your right hand back on the wheel if you need to.\nNever cross your hands over one another while turning the wheel. Instead push the wheel with one hand and pull it with the other. <img> Never go faster than you feel comfortable controlling. Backing up can feel quite different than driving forward, and your view is often compromised by the back of the car and a limited view out of your window. Do not hurry yourself while backing up and instead take your time to prevent accidents.\nNever drive your vehicle in a manner that feels unsafe.\nFeel free to stop the vehicle and take a minute if you feel uncertain about what you’re doing. <img> Press the brake with your right foot firmly to stop. When you’ve backed up far enough, press your foot back down on the brake pedal gradually to come to a smooth stop. Be careful not to apply too much pressure too quickly, or you will stop the vehicle abruptly.\nUse only your right foot to apply the brakes in your vehicle.\nKeep your foot pressed on the brake once the vehicle has stopped. <img> Put the vehicle in park or set the parking brake when you’re done. With your foot firmly on the brake pedal, press the button the shift lever in automatic vehicles and press it forward until it is aligned with the “P” that indicates that it is in park. In standard transmission equipped vehicles, simply take the shift lever out of gear (in neutral) and apply the parking brake by pulling up on the handle or pressing down on the pedal.\nIf you are unsure where to locate your parking brake or how to engage it, refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual for guidance. <img> ", "Check your mirrors before you begin. If you cannot see out the back of the vehicle, you will need to use your side mirrors to see as you back up. Before you begin, adjust your side mirrors to ensure you can see the side of the vehicle, the ground, and anything coming up from behind you.\nIn many cars you can adjust both mirrors from the driver’s seat, but in some you may need to adjust them manually by hand on each side. <img> Check each mirror frequently. Using mirrors will only show you what is behind your vehicle on either side, so it’s important to check both sides often. This will prevent you from accidentally hitting something, or from not noticing as someone approaches from one side or the other.\nYou likely will need to drive even slower in reverse when using mirrors to be sure you don’t miss anything.\nIt may help to pay closer attention to the mirror on a side with an obstacle, so you can keep your eyes on it. <img> Enlist the help of a friend. If you are backing up using only your mirrors in a difficult area, you may choose to ask a friend to guide you. Using your mirrors to keep an eye on a friend that is checking your clearances from the back may be your best option when driving a box truck or something else with severely limited visibility.\nHave your friend stand behind the vehicle on one side to ensure you can see them as they guide you.\nMake sure to open your windows and turn off the radio to hear your friend’s instructions as you back up. <img> " ]

[ "Understand that an executive summary is a short review of a business document. \"Short\" and \"review\" are key words here. The executive summary is not going to be comprehensive in any way, nor will it be a substitute for the original document. An executive summary should never be longer than 10% of the original document. Shoot to have it somewhere between 5% and 10%.\nTip: An executive summary is different from an abstract. An abstract gives the reader overview and orientation, while an executive summary gives the reader more of a summary. Abstracts are more commonly written in academia, while executive summaries are used more for business purposes. <img> Make sure it adheres to certain stylistic and structural guidelines. Most authoritative sources who write executive summaries agree that certain stylistic and structural guidelines should apply. These include:\nParagraphs should be short and concise.\nExecutive summaries should make sense even if you haven't read the original report.\nExecutive summaries should be written in language that is appropriate for the target audience. <img> Define the problem. An executive summary needs to clearly define a problem, whether it's supply-chain management or marketing campaigns overseas. Executive summaries, especially, need clear definitions of problems because the documents that they are based on, Requests For Proposals (RFP), are often written by technical people with a poor grasp of conceptual issues. Make sure the problem is defined in clear, understandable terms. <img> Provide a solution. A problem is always in need of a solution. In order to deliver a claim statement of purpose (and a reason to fund the venture), you need to present your solution so that it effectively tackles the problem. If your problem isn't clearly written, your solution is less likely to make sense. <img> Use graphics, bullet points, and headings if the document is easier to skim that way. An executive summary is not an essay; it doesn't need to be long blocks of text. If they enhance understanding or make the summary more skimmable, it's okay to use:\nGraphics. A well-placed graphic illustrating the precise nature of the client's problem could drive home the point of the summary. Stimulating the visual sense is often just as effective as their analytical sense.\nBullets. Long lists of information can be broken down into more digestible bullets.\nHeadings. Organize the themes of the summary, if necessary, by heading. This will help orient the reader as they dive into the summary. <img> Keep the writing fresh and jargon-free. Jargon is the enemy of understanding. It just so happens to be popular in the business world. Words like \"interface,\" \"leverage,\" \"core competency,\" and \"burning platform\" are all words that you should strive to avoid. They obscure real meaning and can make the summary sound vague and devoid of specifics. <img> ", "Start with the original document. Since the executive summary is a summary of another document, you'll need to be pretty familiar with the original document in order to condense it down to a manageable and informative version. Whether that original document is a report, business plan, proposal, manual or different document, review it, looking for its main ideas. <img> Write a brief review. What is the purpose of the company sponsoring the document, or of the original document itself? What is its scope?\nExample: \"Women World Wide is a not for profit organization that seeks to connect women all around the world with effective solutions to domestic violence, as well as offering a network of support for those suffering from domestic violence. While operating from its headquarters in Alberta, Canada, it has received referrals from women in 170 countries across the globe.\" <img> Make the \"grab\" shine. This section is probably the most important part of your entire executive summary. In two or three sentences you should tell the reader why your business is special. Why does it deserve the scrutiny, business, or partnership of the people reading the summary?\nTip: Sometimes just a simple quote or testimonial is enough. The key is to grab the attention of your audience, make the business appear as reputable as possible, and draw the reader in to the rest of the document.\nMaybe you have Michael Jordan as a customer and he has endorsed your product on Twitter for free. Maybe you just signed a partnership agreement with Google. Maybe you were just awarded a patent, or maybe you just made your first big sale. <img> Define the big problem. The first real ingredient of an executive summary is a discussion of a problem, so explain the problem that your products/services address. Make sure the problem is defined as clearly as possible. An ill-defined problem doesn't sound convincing, and won't set up your solution to be as impactful as it could be.\nExample: \"Los Angeles is crippled with traffic. Apart from the Metro DC area, Los Angeles has the worst traffic in the nation. It's not just annoying. The smog and pollution caused from gridlock is reducing worker productivity, increasing rates of asthma, and slowly creating a serious health problem. There are more cars in L.A. than there are people old enough to drive them.\" <img> Deliver your unique solution. The big problem is the easy part. Now you have to convince the reader that you have come up with a unique solution for the big problem. If you deliver these two ingredients, you'll have the makings of a great idea.\nExample: \"Innotech has created a groundbreaking traffic control system that shaves minutes off of commute time by installing patented \"smart grids\" into stoplight lanes that read the amount of cars in any given lane and direct traffic accordingly. No longer will drivers of America have to stand at a red stoplight for minutes while the green light blinks for no cars in the other direction.\" <img> Talk about market potential. Elaborate on the big problem by providing stats for your industry. Be careful not to pretend that you have a larger market than you do! The fact that the medical device industry is $100 billion annually means nothing because your new medical device will only serve a small segment of the industry. Break it down to a realistic market potential. <img> Incorporate your unique selling proposition. This is where you elaborate on your unique solution. What specifically gives your product or service an advantage over the competition? Maybe your home health care service actually sends doctors to the home instead of just nurse practitioners, or maybe you guarantee same day visits so that you don't have to schedule ahead of time. Point out why you are special.\nExample: \"Intellilight has the added benefit of being able to detect when no one is home. When a light is left on in an empty room, it automatically shuts off and turns back on again when it detects motion in the room. This saves the customer money on their electrical bill and wastes less energy.\" <img> Talk about your business model, if necessary. Some executive summaries will not need a business model. (Nonprofits, not for profits, and NGOs probably won't have a business plan.) But if yours does, your business model needs to be clear and easy to follow. Essentially, you are answering the question, \"How will you get people to take dollars out of their wallet and give them to you?\" Keep the model simple, especially in the executive summary. A quick summary is all that is needed. <img> Discuss your management team, if necessary. Depending on what industry you are in, this can be one of the most important parts of your executive summary. Your investors or bankers are putting trust in the team, not the idea. Ideas are easy to come by, but executing on those ideas can only be accomplished with a strong team. Quickly show why your team has the experience and knowledge to execute your business plan. <img> Provide financial projections to support your claims. Based on your market, your business model, and your historical performance, you need to develop a bottom-up financial forecast. The point of your projections is simply to demonstrate your competence, and your ability to build financial projections based on a sound set of assumptions.\nIf your plan is for a group of investors, don't spend too much time on this section because they know that you have no idea how much money you might make. Investors typically won't make a go/no-go decision based on your financial projections. They will essentially make their own financial projections. <img> Ease in to your request. Now it's time to request either an investment or loan, depending on the purpose of the executive summary. You should restate why your company provides value. Remind the reader of the big pain that you are solving and your market potential. Finally reemphasize your team and its ability to get the job done. Ask for the dollar amount needed to reach the next major milestone for your business. Don't disclose how much equity you are willing to give up or what interest rate you are willing to pay. This should be done later through face-to-face negotiation. <img> Reread your summary. When you have written the basics, reread it carefully. You should proofread the summary with extra care. While you are rereading, also consider your audience for the document. Make sure any new references are explained and that the language will be clear to someone who is new to this topic. Rewrite as necessary.\nHave a pair of fresh eyes reread your executive summary, paying special attention to:\nClarity. Are the words clear, the ideas clearer, and the summary devoid of jargon?\nErrors. Grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors may abound. Having someone fact-check the figures and statistics might be a good ideal as well.\nForcefulness. Do the ideas translate into a stirring pitch? Where does the pitch fall flat, if at all?\nCoherence.

[ "Complete your undergraduate degree. Before you can pursue graduate studies, you need to earn a bachelor’s degree. If you plan to get your doctorate in engineering, an undergraduate degree in engineering is your best option for gaining acceptance into a graduate program.\nSome doctoral programs will expect you to have earned a Master of Science before you’re admitted to the doctoral program, while others will allow you to earn your master’s while you work on your doctorate.\nYou can still pursue a doctorate in engineering if you didn’t get an undergraduate degree in engineering, but the path is harder. You will need to take additional undergraduate classes in engineering, bring relevant work experience, and find a program that is willing to work with you. <img> Participate in undergraduate research opportunities. Doctoral programs are focused on research, so start getting experience during your undergraduate career. Start by volunteering for research being done by upperclassman and graduate students working on your campus. As you reach your junior- and senior-level coursework, talk to your professors about contributing to research projects.\nApply for work-study, internship, and fieldwork opportunities.\nSee if your school offers students the opportunity to get sponsorship for independent research projects, such as through a scholars award program.\nBe willing to take even the smallest role in a research project. Since you’re an undergraduate, you will likely need to do the grunt work to gain experience. <img> Network with faculty and research advisors. Build good relationships with your professors so that you can improve your research skills, gain opportunities for academic growth, and have a mentor in your field. Speak out in class, talk to them during office hours, volunteer to work on their research, and take multiple classes from your desired mentor.\nIf your professors know you well, they’ll be able to write a better letter of reference about your skills, abilities, and work habits when you need them to apply for doctoral programs or jobs. <img> Join clubs and organizations related to engineering. You can gain great networking opportunities and open doors for yourself by becoming part of organizations dedicated to engineering. You will not only meet other students in the same course of study, but you’ll also meet possible mentors. Some national organizations also have name recognition that can help you when you apply to doctoral programs or jobs.\nYour school will likely have local clubs in addition to national organizations, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.\nYou should also look for honor societies. For example, you could join Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honors society.\nWhen your extracurriculars match up with the demands of your desired program, then you'll appear very enthusiastic about and prepared for the responsibilities you'd encounter. <img> Maintain high grades. While a 3.0 is sometimes an acceptable grade point average for admittance into an engineering doctoral program, an average of 3.25 is more standard. If you're interested in a big name school, you're likely going to need upwards of a 3.5 GPA to get into the program.\nAim to make all A's with minimal B's if you want to pursue a doctorate in engineering.\nConsider doing grade replacement if you make lower than an A or B in a class, but check your college or university's limits on retaking courses. <img> Take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). As you complete your undergraduate work or after graduation, study for the GRE. You'll need to register for and take the GRE several months prior to applying for doctoral programs. When you apply for a graduate program, you’ll need recent scores. Scores remain active for five years.\nSome programs may require you to take the GRE subject test, but not all do. Check the requirements for your university. <img> ", "Choose a path for study. To improve your chances of gaining admittance, narrow your focus to one field of engineering. While there are many facets to engineering careers, you can narrow your focus to one of the major degree paths, such as:\nElectrical engineering focuses on the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.\nMechanical engineering focuses on designing, building, and operating machines.\nAeronautical engineering focuses on the design and construction of aircraft and spacecraft.\nComputer engineering focuses on integrating electrical engineering concepts with computer science to develop computer hardware and software.\nCivil engineering focuses on designing, building, and maintaining structures, such as buildings, bridges, dams, and water supply systems.\nEnvironmental engineering focuses on finding solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution. <img> Research schools. Read about the programs available to you so that you can choose the best one for you. Look at schools near you, as well as the top programs in your chosen path of study. Don’t just focus on name recognition. Look for programs that can help you pay for your education and that are doing relevant research in your field of study.\nConsider your research preferences and look for a school with a strong program in that topic.\nMake sure that the schools you apply to are conducting research in your chosen research interests.\nCheck if the school will offer a fellowship, scholarship, teaching assistantship, or research position that will help you pay for your doctoral degree. <img> Research the backgrounds of the professors at the schools. Since the emphasis of a doctoral degree is on research, you will be working with one or more of the professors at your school to collaborate on research projects. You will need to have a good working relationship with your professors, and your research will need to fit under the umbrella of the program's current research.\nRead each professor's background, curriculum vitae, and current research projects.\nWhen choosing your school, consider which professors you'd most like to work with based on what they are researching, their goals, and their background. <img> Decide on a research path. Based on your own interests and the paths available to you, narrow your research path so that you can present it in your applications for graduate school. Universities choose doctoral candidates that fit into their research program, so you will need to show them what you plan to study. <img> Select the schools you want to apply to. Choose the programs that fit your interests. Most students apply to between five and eight graduate programs.", "Write a statement of purpose. Your statement of purpose will tell the university about you, your achievements, your path of study, and why you’ll be a good fit for their program. Focus on showing your best skills and why you’re a promising candidate for the program. Your program will set a word count, commonly about 300-500 words.\nA statement of purpose may also be called an application essay, personal statement, objectives for study, personal goals, cover letter, or a related name. <img> Get letters of recommendation. Your program will likely ask for letters of recommendation. Ask your closest professors, engineering mentors, and research supervisors to write a recommendation for you.\nMake sure that you ask at least a month in advance so that the person has enough time to work on your letter.\nTo aid the person in writing your letter, provide them with a short resume detailing your accomplishments. <img> Assemble your application packets. Each program will have their own requirements, but most applications will require multiple parts. Check your program’s admissions guidelines for the requirements, which will likely include the following:\nYour completed application form.\nYour statement of purpose.\nGRE scores.\nTranscripts.\nYour curriculum vitae.\n2-3 letters of recommendation.\nTOEFL or IELTS scores if you’re an international student. <img> Send in your applications before the deadline. Make sure that you send in your items on time. Most doctoral programs have a narrow window for applications, and you may need to apply nearly a year in advance of beginning your studies. If you don’t get your materials in on time, you won’t be considered for admission.\nDon’t wait until the last minute. Get your materials submitted in advance. <img> Contact the professors you hope to work with. If you can show the faculty that you are familiar with their research and will be able to contribute, then it may help you gain admittance to the program. Since graduate programs are built around research, being familiar with current projects is important.\nRead up on the faculty’s biographies and curriculum vitae.\nSend them a formally written email.\nSay something like, “Your groundbreaking work on [research topic] is what interested me in [program name]. In my undergraduate research, I worked on [similar research topic].” <img> Show the schools why you’ll be valuable to their research. Doctoral candidates usually help further the research goals of the university as research fellows. If you have relevant research skills or a background that contains work on similar projects, explain that history to your program. \nOffer a brief explanation of your research background or resume. Say, \"During a senior year special project, I worked with ten other students alongside my professor to complete a project similar to the one you are currently developing.\"\nExplain, \"As a lab assistant, I was able to shadow professors and doctoral candidates at my university, which allowed me to gain skills in how to conduct research and write reports.\" <img> Accept enrollment and register for classes. Once you’re accepted, you will visit the campus and get advised by the faculty. Based on their recommendations and the requirements of the program, register for your classes.\nGet advised as early as possible to ensure that you are able to get into the classes you need. <img> ", "Perform well in your required classes. If you don’t maintain good attendance and high grades, then you can get kicked out of your program. Keep in good academic standing, and make sure that you complete all of the required coursework.\nYou will need to pass your courses with at least a B.\nExpect to enroll in six to nine credit hours per semester because graduate courses are harder, making the requirements for a full load smaller. <img> Choose a research supervisor. Work with your professors to find a supervisor. Look for someone whose research you can contribute to, and focus on how you can help them. Finding the right supervisor will require you to find someone with whom a relationship will be mutually beneficial. \nEnroll in the classes taught by your desired research supervisor. This will give you a chance to work with them and an opportunity for them to see your abilities and work habits.\nLook for faculty members who have current research projects that have openings for graduate assistantships.\nDon’t expect a posh position at first. Prove yourself by taking any research role available with your chosen mentor.\nYou may also be able to assemble an advisory committee, depending on your university. <img> Work with your advisor to develop a plan of study. Your plan of study will include your course objectives, a list of your required courses, a list of your intended electives, and early plans for your dissertation work. Your research supervisor and committee (if you have one) will need to approve this plan.\nYou’ll submit your plan of study to the department chair after your research supervisor has approved it.\nIt can be difficult to change your plan of study, so take the process seriously. <img> Study the research in your field. A doctoral program is all about research, so you need to keep up with what’s going on in your field. Know the past findings, currently ongoing research, and avenues for further research. This will help you find a path for your own research.\nAccess papers and articles through the Institute for Research and Publication.\nRead engineering journals such as the Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Journal of Applied Mechanical Engineering, Journal of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Technology, etc.\nLook for articles in scientific magazines that are related to your field.\nCheck the university webpages for leading institutions such as MIT, Georgia Tech, Stanford, and University of California-Berkeley. <img> Create your own research. As you complete your degree, you will start to perform original research. This is the ultimate goal of a Ph.D. candidate, so choose a topic that both interests you and provides areas for development.\nThere are many different types of engineering research, so you may be designing a new product or system, looking for ways to improve an existing system, or developing a new concept. What type of engineer you become will affect what type of research you do.\nYour research will still fit into the program’s major areas of study.\nYou might also work on publishing a groundbreaking (or at least high quality and peer-reviewed) paper, as you can add this to your CV. You'll stand out as a candidate who takes initiative and accomplishes meaningful research in their field. <img> ", "Select a dissertation topic. Your dissertation topic will come out of your independent research. With the help of your research supervisor, you will narrow your research focus so that you can complete a dissertation that will allow you to earn your degree.\nA dissertation is a book length project.\nIt is sometimes called a thesis. <img> Fund your research. Apply for grants, look for sponsorship programs, or use crowdfunding to pay for your research. Depending on your university’s resources, you may be able to get more research leeway if you can attract additional funding. The quality of your research and dissertation will depend on available resources, such as funding.\nCheck with your university for internal grants or awards.\nYou can also look for grants through the United Engineering Foundation, Engineering Information Foundation, and similar resources.\nAsk businesses, organizations, and donors for sponsorships. <img> Complete your research. In order to finish your dissertation and graduate, you’ll need to reach relevant conclusions through your independent research. The process will likely take years over the course of your doctoral work. During this time, you will work with other graduate students and your research supervisor. You will also enroll in classes dedicated to independent study rather than regular coursework. <img> Write your dissertation. Your dissertation will be a book length work, so plan to write it over a long period of time. It’s best to write it in pieces as you start and complete your research.\nConsult with your research supervisor regularly.\nVisit your campus writing center if you need help with your writing.\nYou can find software to help with formatting. <img> Prepare for your oral defense. The best way to prepare for your defense is to know everything about your dissertation, including prior research, your methods, your research question, your process, the data, and the ultimate outcomes of your research project. Be prepared to answer any questions. <img> Present and defend your dissertation. Before your dissertation is complete, you will need to present it to your committee and defend it. Your committee will ask you questions and may suggest revisions. While the meeting should have a positive tone, expect to explain your processes, work, and outcomes.\nThe key to a defense is to show that you have the knowledge and research skills required to earn your doctorate. <img> " ]

[ "Scrub the work area using a bathroom cleaner that will remove soap scum. <img> Remove the old caulk using a utility knife or a razor blade. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the shower enclosure.\nIf the caulk will not scrape off, then blow hot air against the surface using a hair dryer to loosen the seal.\nYou can even use a caulk removal tool. <img> Wipe off. When all visible caulk is removed, wipe the areas that you are joining with a towel that has been dipped in denatured alcohol. The alcohol will remove any residual soap scum and will loosen any remaining caulk. You want to make sure the area you caulk is clean and dry. <img> Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to vacuum the joint. This will remove any residual caulk that you may have missed during the scraping process. <img> Allow the shower to sit overnight without being used. This will ensure that the surface is fully dry, which will help the caulk to adhere. <img> ", "A caulk gun is an inexpensive tool that will make caulking your shower enclosure faster and easier. You will need to buy specially designed tubes of caulk to fit into your caulk gun. Load the caulk tube into the caulk gun, pulling the pressure rod back and sliding the bottom of the tube into the device. <img> Squeeze the trigger gently until the pressure rod makes contact with the base of the caulk tube. <img> Cut the tip of the tube at a 45-degree angle using a pair of scissors. Keep the opening narrow so that you don’t push too much caulk from the tube as you work. Make sure that the opening is in alignment with the base of the gun for easy application. <img> Rest the opening of the tube against the point where one of the vertical seams of the shower enclosure meets the ceiling or the soffit. Caulk the vertical seams and the corners of the shower enclosure first. <img> Squeeze the trigger gently and pull down slowly on the caulk gun, guiding the nozzle along the joint and squeezing out a steady stream of caulk. Avoid frequent stopping and starting so that you produce a smooth surface. <img> Rest the curved tip of the back of a plastic spoon at the beginning of your caulk line. Push gently on the spoon so that you are pressing the caulk into the seam while smoothing the top of the caulk’s surface. Pull the spoon down the seam slowly until you have smoothed the entire application. <img> Wipe the exterior of the caulk tube and the spoon with a damp sponge. This will keep caulk from drying on the surface and interfering with the smoothness of your application. <img> Move on to the next joint to be caulked and repeat the steps until you have caulked all of the shower joints. Again, caulk the vertical seams and corners first, the horizontal seam along the back of the shower second and the horizontal seams on the sides of the shower third.

[ "Don't play dumb. Don't act like you have no idea about what people are saying about you. Acting clueless will only make people think the rumors are true. There's no point in acting like you haven't heard the rumors if everyone else in your school or workplace has. Acknowledging that you know a rumor is going around about you is the first step to tackling it.\nIf someone mentions the rumor, you can say, \"I've heard that that's been going around\" or \"I know what people are saying about me.\"\nBetter yet, beat the rumormongers to the punch. If you know a vicious rumor is spreading about you (and fast!) then you can even tell other people who haven't heard yet about it. They'd be more likely to be on your side if they heard it from you, than if they heard it from the rumor mill. <img> Don't let them see how much you care. Avoid acting openly angry, upset, or hurt about the rumors. Even if they really were very mean and painful, if you let yourself get upset publicly, then you'll be letting the other side win. If you really are upset about them, talking to some close friends will help much more than letting the world see you get upset. So keep a stiff upper lip, keep your head high, and don't let them get to you.\nThe other thing is, if you act very upset because of the rumors, everyone will be convinced that they are true.\nWhen you start assuming that some people are thinking negatively of you, a series of negative images will come to you one by one or all at once. The key to breaking this cycle is taking a step back and trying to see the whole chain of these negative images—that will help you see the irrationality of the cycle.\nYou can also get rid of these negative images by distracting yourself with an activity that really interests you. <img> Don't fight fire with fire. Though it may be tempting to fight the rumor with a different rumor, you should take the high road and not fall into the low-life business of spreading rumors. Sure, you can spread a rumor about the person who started it, or spread a completely different rumor just to make people stop talking about you, but if you do this, chances are you'll only make things worse and will look desperate and like you aren't any better than the person or people who spread the rumor to begin with.\nRemember that in the end, you want to come out on top. You want people to respect you and to think that you're a worthy person. If you want to maintain a level of respect even after the vicious rumor is spread, then you have to continue to keep your head high, instead of thinking, \"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,\" which will get you nowhere. <img> Talk to an adult or authority figure if you have to. Sure, talking to an adult or your boss about vicious rumors may not be fun, but it can get the person who spread them in trouble and can make you feel better about the situation. If the rumors are being spread at school, for example, and you know exactly who started them, then talking to an authority figure can give the rumor-spreader a good scare and can get the rumors to stop as quickly as possible.\nThis is a tricky one. It's up to you to determine whether you need to talk to an adult or if you can handle this on your own. <img> ", "Stand up for yourself. Don't confuse taking a stand for integrity with \"being defensive\". Find a platform where you can communicate your side of the story. Since silence is not always so golden, it is good to have some things you can be prepared to say: \"I do not believe that is true.\" or \"This appears to be an unfounded (or vicious) rumor. Such things can do a lot of harm.\" Look people in the eye when you say that.Make sure your side of the story prevails.\nIf people ask you about the rumor, you should stand up for yourself no matter what. If you brush it off or act like you don't want to talk about it, then people will believe it's true. <img> Determine what lends credibility to the rumor, and stop it. People are more likely to tell rumors that are plausible, and that hinge on the existence of suggestive evidence. For instance, a rumor about a workplace affair will take off if the two people involved flirt in the office, or sit together every day at lunch. Once you determine what is feeding the rumor, take steps to remove it, if you can.\nDon't bother thinking \"Well, they shouldn't assume that\" or \"I should be able to do what I want without them thinking such and such.\" The point is, they do, and as long as you continue the behavior, the rumor will continue to spread.\nOf course, if you're doing absolutely nothing to fuel the rumor, then there's nothing to change. And even if you are doing something to potentially cause the rumor, don't be hard on yourself if that's the case! <img> Prove that it's not true if you can. If you have evidence that can prove that the rumor isn't true, then you should put it forth. For example, if people are saying your boyfriend isn't real, bring him to the next party. If people are gossiping that you don't know how to swim, throw a pool party. If you can produce a document that can prove the rumor false once and for all, don't think it's beneath your dignity to do so.\nOf course, one of the problems with rumors is that they are so hard to disprove. Don't scramble for evidence to the contrary if you simply can't get it.\nWhen someone falsely accuses you of something, your main goal is to get to a reasonable open discussion. To prepare for this open discussion, you have to gather evidence such as recordings, data, or witnesses to prove that you're innocent. <img> Broadcast the rumor. Yes, that's right. Verbalize or post the rumor in a prominent way. By acknowledging the rumor, you're taking away some of its momentum. Rumors spread like wildfire because the people who spread them do so in order to gain social status, and that depends on them having the \"inside scoop.\" If you broadcast their \"inside information\" then they won't have any motivation to spread the rumor. Everybody will already know!\nOf course, if it's deeply painful, then you may not want the world to know. But if you think talking about it to everyone is the easiest way to prove it's ridiculous and to make it go away, then go for it. <img> Confront the source. If you know who spread the rumor, then you may want to talk to the person who did it. Be civil and keep your head high and talk to the person honestly about why he or she spread the rumor and acknowledge the trouble it's caused without looking too upset. Say something like, \"I know we're not exactly best friends, but spreading false rumors about me is not the way to resolve our issues.\"\nIf you don't want to face the source alone, bring a few friends. Of course, don't put yourself in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation if you know that talking to the person in question will simply do you no good. <img> Take care of yourself. Rumors can make people upset, angry, or even depressed. No matter what people are saying about you, keep your head high and remember who you are. Don't let other people determine your value in this life and stay strong, no matter what people are saying about you. Make sure to spend time with good friends, get enough sleep, and to maintain your self-esteem in spite of what people are saying about you.\nYou may be so busy worrying about how to convince people the rumors aren't true that you haven't spent time taking care of yourself. Well, you've got to focus on yourself -- instead of the meaningless hurt caused by others -- if you want to go back to having a happy, healthy life. <img> " ]

[ "Hoodies and sweatshirts are variations of each other, not the same thing. While these popular clothing items may look similar, they do have distinct differences. For instance, hoodies have hoods (and possibly a kangaroo pocket and zipper), while sweatshirts are heavier long sleeve shirts. <img> ", "Sweatshirts are typically button and zipperless pullovers. These garments can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. They’re typically worn over another item of clothing, like a T-shirt, sports bra, or collared button-down shirt.\n\nSweatshirts can be made of many materials, depending on the garment's style, fit, and comfort level. But you’ll find that most of them are made of cotton or French Terry cloth. <img> ", "Hoodies are hooded garments with extra cozy features. Basically, a hoodie is a hooded version of a sweatshirt. This garment, however, is best worn for comfort and warmth. Thanks to its drawstring hood and front pocket and/or zipper, a hoodie is perfect for layering in cold temperatures.\n\nHoodies are typically more insulated than sweatshirts and are made with thicker cotton or fleece material. <img> ", "Bundle up with a hoodie in the winter. Layer long sleeve shirts under a hoodie, tuck a scarf around the collar, and pull up the hood to keep yourself warm in frigid temperatures. Finish the look with a cozy pair of sweatpants or jeans and winter boots.\nTry layering a sweatshirt underneath your hoodie for even more warmth.\nOpt for a zip-up hoodie if you know you’ll be heading back indoors soon.\nStick a pair of gloves in your hoodie’s pocket(s) just in case you need them. <img> Wear a jean jacket over a hoodie. This is an excellent way to up your style game for a casual night out on the town. Not only is this look sleek and relaxed, but it’s also super simple. Put on your favorite hoodie and layer an open-faced jacket on top—just make sure to pull the hood out.\nStick with neutral tones or opt for a bright-colored hoodie for a pop of color.\nTry this look with a khaki jacket, leather jacket, or even trench coat—use whatever you feel the coolest in. <img> Throw a sweatshirt over a tee in chilly weather. If there’s a cool breeze in the air, layer up with a sweatshirt and a shirt. This is a great way to add extra warmth without bundling up too much. Pair your tops with jeans, leggings, or sweatpants—whichever’s the most comfortable and appropriate.\nLook for sweatshirts with embroidery or graphics on the front for an extra fashionable edge.\nTry to pick a tee that matches your sweatshirt, as the collar may poke out at the top. <img> Put on a hoodie while running errands. Heading out the door in a rush and don’t know if it’s chilly out there? Grab a hoodie on your way out to throw on, just in case. Think of a hoodie as an extra cozy and casual jacket—perfect for tossing on whenever you need a warm hug.\nOpt for a neutral-colored hoodie (like white, gray, or black), so it’ll match whatever you’re wearing.\nConsider keeping a hoodie in the backseat of your car for emergencies. <img> Wear a sweatshirt to the gym. Sweatshirts are great to wear during a warm-up or until you’re hot enough to strip down to your workout top or sports bra. Simply toss one on that matches your gym gear and head out the door. Plus, you can always throw it back on after you’ve cooled down to run errands.\nPick a sweatshirt that matches the weather. For instance, opt for cotton if it’s chilly or stick with breathable nylon in the summer. <img> Pair a sweatshirt with a collared shirt and jeans for business casual events. A solid-colored sweatshirt can be dressed up with a nice button down shirt for more formal events. Tuck in the shirt, roll the sleeves over the sweatshirt, and pull the collar out for a smart yet casual look.\nWear dark, slim fitting jeans or a pleated skirt to finish the look.\nOpt for a darker-toned hoodie rather than a bright one, as these give a more professional and sophisticated look.\nDress up your sweatshirt with bold makeup or jewelry to look more put together. <img> Get cozy in a hoodie for a movie date night. Tousled hair, fuzzy socks, and a bucket full of popcorn? What could be better? Pair an oversized hoodie with sweatpants or leggings when you’re snuggling on the couch with your beau.\nDon’t have a beau? No worries!

[ "Conquer continents wisely. While it is good to try to conquer continents early in the game, you should be careful about which continents you decide to conquer. There are advantages and disadvantages to each continent, but the main thing to consider is the isolation of a continent. More isolated continents may be easier to maintain, but they are also more difficult to expand from. Therefore, you should choose a continent that is in line with your strategy.\nFor example, Australia is easy to conquer and maintain because of how isolated it is, but it is also hard to expand from Australia. Also, since it only gives you a bonus of 2 per turn, you may fall prey to more powerful plays later in the game. For these reasons, conquering Australia may offer you an advantage, but only if you feel capable of overcoming its disadvantage. <img> Pay attention to the army bonus that you get for each continent. Some continents are much more beneficial to hold than others because you will get a better army bonus each turn. Before you begin trying to conquer a continent, find out how many armies you will get as a bonus for holding that continent. For example, Europe gives you a bonus of 5 armies per turn for holding the continent, while Africa gives you a bonus of 3 armies per turn.\nKeep in mind that while Asia has the highest bonus of 7 per turn it also has 12 territories that need to be held, the highest number in the game. <img> Attack with the right amount of armies. Knowing how many armies to use in an attack on an opponent can be a big boost to your chances of winning. A good general rule in attacking an enemy territory is to use as many armies as you can to attack your opponent's territory. This will increase your chances of winning and overtaking the territory. Keep in mind that you will need to move these armies to an adjacent territory or a territory connected by a sea line before you begin your attack.\nFor example, if an opponent has two armies on a territory that you want, then you should attack that territory with the maximum amount of armies you can attack with, three. <img> Determine how many armies to keep on each territory. In most cases, you will benefit from having most of your armies on your border territories. Concentrating your armies in this way helps to reduce the chances that you will have a weak spot and be overtaken by an opponent. The territories within your borders can have fewer armies, but try to avoid having a single weak spot that an opponent may try to target. <img> ", "Count your opponents’ armies at the end of each turn. It is a good idea to keep track of how many armies your opponents have by counting them after every turn. Doing so will help you to determine who is the weakest and who is the strongest player at all times.\nTry not to count out loud or let your opponents see you counting their armies or they may become suspicious of you. <img> Block opponent territories within your own territories. If you get the opportunity to surround an opponent’s territory with your territories, take it. Doing so will allow you to conquer that territory without fear of immediate retaliation. Blocking in an opponent’s territory will also prevent your other opponents from conquering a territory that you want. <img> Nail neighboring contents to prevent them from becoming too powerful. If one of your opponents is becoming strong and/or is close to conquering an entire continent, then you may want to consider a nailing strategy to slow him or her down. Nailing is when you place a large force on an opponent’s continent to disrupt his or her strategy. Doing so will slow the opponent down and prevent him or her from advancing too quickly, allowing you to stop them. <img> Form an alliance with a player of equivalent strength. Alliances are very helpful in Risk. When you form an alliance with a fellow player, you can team up against other stronger opponents and have more success in your conquests. Just keep in mind that you may have to fight against each other if you both survive to the end of the game, so the alliance is a temporary measure. If your ally has taken more territory than you, consider a surprise attack on their territory as a betrayal in hopes of taking their territory over. <img> Try to earn your fellow players’ trust. If you are deceptive or dishonest, your fellow players may target you more often or be reluctant to negotiate with you. Therefore, it is in your best interest to be honest and try to earn your fellow players’ trust. Avoid lying or making and breaking promises, especially early on in the game.\nIf you often play with the same people, keep in mind that they may remember past deceitful practices in future games that you play with them. <img> Negotiate with your opponents whenever possible. If you and some other players are competing for a group of territories, then you may end up battling it out until one of you is out of the game. Instead of fighting with a neighboring player over land, try to negotiate with that player to reduce your chances of getting wiped out early in the game unless you are just too ruthless in Risk to want to negotiate.\nTry to make a treaty with another player. For example, if you have the majority of your armies on Africa and another player has the majority of his or her armies on South America, then you can agree to leave each other alone until you have both had a chance to expand your territories to the north. <img> ", "Make sure that you understand the rules. If you are new to Risk, then gaining a thorough understanding of the rules may help you to play a better game. Understanding the rules may also help you to catch your opponents is they try to cheat or bend the rules in their favor. Read the rulebook carefully to make sure that you have a good understanding of how to play Risk. <img> Play often and with more experienced players. The more you play, the more you will be able to work on your game strategy, so play as often as you can. It is also a good idea to try to play with more experienced players who are willing to share their knowledge with you. <img> Use the three basic strategies described in the Risk rulebook. The Risk rulebook offers three strategies for players that may help you when you are just getting familiar with the game. Try to use these strategies every time that you play the game and your game will improve. The three pieces of strategic advice given to players by the Risk rulebook include:\nHold entire continents to earn bonus reinforcements. The more army reinforcements that you have, the more powerful you are. Therefore, you should try to get as main reinforcements as possible.\nWatch your borders for enemy armies. If one of your opponent’s is going to attack you, he or she will probably start to gather forces along one of your borders. So send an equally or larger force to protect your territory.\nFortify your borders against enemy attack. Make sure that you place reinforcements along your borders to make it harder for enemies to penetrate your territory. <img> " ]

Explain that you need to talk to someone so that you can come out to your spouse effectively. <img> Consider talking to an expert. If you want your spouse to be the first to know, try telling a therapist or a counselor first. Find a therapist who is experienced in dealing with LGBTQ issues. You can use the APA \"Psychologist Locator\" tool to search for someone who specializes in people in your situation.\nCall a hotline such as the Helpline (0345 3 30 30 30) to discuss coming out with a trained specialist. <img> Find a private moment. Let your spouse know you want to talk about something serious. Make a date with them. Meet somewhere private, where your kids or other relatives won't bother you.\nThe exception to this is if your spouse has any violent tendencies. In this case, meet with a lawyer, a mediator, or another witness when you come out, and arrange for a place for you (and any children) to stay after you have come out.\nIf you can't bring yourself to say it, or if you're afraid you'll leave something out, consider presenting a letter instead of speaking. <img> Explain your exact truth. Tell your spouse exactly who you are. Explain how long you've suspected, how long you've known, and what has held you back from revealing the truth. For instance, if you're revealing a truth about your gender identity, you might say: \"I've recently realized that what I am is a man—a transgender man. I've always felt different, like something was missing. When I was little I thought I'd grow up to be a man, and that my parents were wrong when they said otherwise. I didn't really have the language until recently. I told you as soon as I was sure.\"\nIf you're coming out as bisexual, you might say \"If I'm honest with myself, I always knew I was attracted to both men and women. I just thought if I ignored part of that, it would go away.\"\nDon't make it about them—your gender and sexuality have nothing to do with anyone else. <img> Apologize and acknowledge their pain. This part is hard, because it may not feel like you chose to deceive your spouse. It's possible that you didn't understand what was going on until recently. It's also true that you may have felt like you had to stay closeted to survive. However, your spouse will need to hear you apologize and acknowledge their pain.\nYou might say \"I'm so sorry that I'm not who I told you I was. I'm sorry I didn't come out sooner. I'm sorry that I'm putting you through pain.\"\nPrepare yourself for a response of shock and lots of questions. Try not to get defensive if you are met with a million questions. Show empathy for your spouse and try to answer their questions as patiently as possible. <img> Be very clear on how you feel about them. If you still want to be with them, tell them. If you don't, say so. Explain exactly why. For instance, you might say \"I want to stay with you if you will keep me. I love you, and you are my best friend. Our partnership is the most beautiful part of my life.\"\nConversely, you might say: \"I don't have the feelings for you that I wish I did. I love you as a friend, but I can't continue to pretend it's anything else. I'd like to separate.\" <img> Decide how to tell others together. Generally, it's best for your mental health to come out across the board. However, not all circumstances make this a safe or prudent option. Your spouse might not feel comfortable with you coming out immediately to your family and community. You yourself might have reservations. Make a plan together about who should be told (from everyone, to just family, to just certain family members), and how they should be told. <img> Be open with your children. If you are safe enough in your community to be out, tell your children. You don't have to wait until they're adults—there is nothing child-inappropriate about minority genders or sexual orientations. You don't have to give them all the details of your marriage, but you and your spouse can explain who you are and what your basic feelings for each other are.\nExplain any terms they might not know.\nState clearly that you love them, and that nothing about your relationship will change.\nHelp them understand the sorts of phobic remarks they might overhear, and why these are wrongheaded.\nExpect this to be an ongoing conversation. <img> ", "See a therapist. Find a licensed counselor who has expertise with LGBTQ concerns, with coming out in adulthood, and/or with major life transitions. In the United State, you can search by specialization with the APA locator: http://locator.apa.org/\nTalk to your therapist about the process of coming out, about your wishes going forward, and about any guilt or pain you feel.\nYou and your spouse may wish to see a therapist together. Make sure you see an LGBTQ friendly therapist.\nTalk to the therapist on the phone beforehand. Eliminate anyone who suggests \"reparative\" or \"conversion\" therapy, or who considers homosexuality or transgenderism a \"choice\" or an \"illness.\" These people will not be able to help you process your feelings, and they may do you harm. <img> Reach out to friends and family. Your spouse may not want you tell others, but you shouldn't have to suffer in loneliness and silence during this time. You need support—you're going through a major life transition. Talk to people you trust, and make time for visits with sympathetic friends. <img> Join a community. You are not alone in your circumstances. Locate a nearby LGBT center, or search for LGBT support groups and peer counseling online. Contact other LGBT people you know and ask them to talk with you. Look for LGBT groups associated with organizations you can have access to, such as Unitarian churches, Quaker meeting houses, community centers, and other publicly accessible places. <img> Remind yourself why you are coming out. Although coming out will be hard, it is important to remind yourself that you are doing this to be true to yourself. Having a life where you can be yourself and pursue happiness will be worth the discomfort, chaos, and pain that coming out while married might cause.", "Make a plan for the short term. Talk about what you both want. You'll need to decide what to do in the moment: consider taking a few days apart, or consider setting a date to reopen the subject.\nYour spouse may be in shock for a while, so let them process.\nIf they say rash things, like that they never want to see you again or that you can't tell anyone, tell them you'd like to talk more about that at a later time. <img> Make a plan for the long term. You'll need to decide whether or not to stay together, or if staying together for the moment is the best option. You may also be interested in staying together but with different terms: for instance, you might open your relationship up to non-monogamous encounters. If divorce is the best option, draw up terms that are fair to you both.\nDiscuss your plans together with a therapist or a lawyer. <img> Visit a couple's therapist. Consider visiting a therapist together whether or not you are interested in staying together as a couple. A therapist who is experienced in mixed-orientation marriages can help you communicate through this transition and can help you decide on an arrangement that works for you both. <img> Suggest your partner check out the Straight Spouse Network. There are extensive resources for people like your spouse. Recommend that your spouse visit the chat rooms, read the information, and locate a support group: http://www.straightspouse.org/\nSupport groups can be found in countries worldwide and all over the United States. <img> Consider an open marriage. If you and your spouse would like to stay together, but one or the other of you feels the need to be sexually involved elsewhere, try to negotiate an open marriage. This might include: both of you freely dating others, but remaining primary partners; one of you dating others and either sharing or not sharing the details; the two of you staying married but one or both of you seeking equal or greater partnership elsewhere; both of you seeking a third partner to join your marriage, or other variations.\nThis will only work if both partners agree and stay open to communicating and renegotiating the terms.\nStart slowly and with consideration for the adjustment period.\nConsider seeing a therapist familiar with polyamorous or mixed-orientation marriages. <img> Negotiate a fair divorce. You and your spouse will both need lawyers to help you negotiate this divorce. If your spouse has been hostile since you came out, you may need to be extra vigilant during this process—especially if you have children.\nIf you had an affair during the marriage, have children, and fear your spouse will sue you for custody, speak to a lawyer before you reveal any infidelity.\nWarn your lawyer or mediator of signs of Parental Alienation Syndrome—if your spouse has been disparaging you or making homophobic/transphobic remarks in front of your children, your mediator will need to take an alternative approach to your mediation process." ]

[ "Check the online Social Security Death Index. The SSDI includes the record of anyone with a U.S. Social Security number whose death was reported to the Social Security Administration.\nWebsites such as genealogybank.com and ancestry.com allow you to access portions of the SSDI free of charge.\nYou can search the SSDI by the person's first and last name, date of birth, date of death, last known residence, Social Security number, or any combination thereof.\nIf you have limited information about the person for whom you need a death notice, you can use the information in the SSDI to fill in the blanks. For example, if you are looking for the death notice for your great-great grandmother, and you know her first and last name but not exactly when or where she died, you may be able to find a listing in the SSDI that would provide you with that information. Once you know when and where she died, you have a better idea of where else to look to find her death notice. <img> Search for city or state death records databases. Many larger cities and some states have online databases available for use by the general public.\nState death indexes typically go back further in time than the SSDI, so if you're looking for the death notice of someone who died in the 1700s, for example, you'd be more likely to find the information at the state level.\nAlthough some of these indexes are available online for free, those databases typically only cover deaths through the early 1900s. If you're looking for an older death, you may have to pay a one-time fee or join a subscription site to gain access to the records. <img> Look for newspaper obituaries. Depending on your purpose, a newspaper obituary may be all you need to get details of a person's death.\nKeep in mind that for most people, the write-up in the paper is the official death notice. The death notice generally gives a brief story of the person's life and lists their surviving family members and the arrangements made. Newspaper staff writers typically create obituaries only for famous or significant people.\nIn small towns, the newspaper may include more staff-written obituaries. You also might find obituaries or reprints of the death notice in church or community newsletters.\nIf someone lived most of their life in one place, but died in another, their hometown often will reprint the death notice. So if you're not sure exactly where the person died, but you know where they were born and grew up, try checking the newspapers there.\nSome newspapers publish their archives online, while others make their obituaries available on websites such as legacy.com.\nSeveral websites such as obitsforlife.com offer a searchable database of funeral home death notices, which for most people would be the notice published in the local newspaper.\nSome of these websites allow you to search for free, but require you to pay a fee or sign up for a subscription service before they grant you access to the records. <img> ", "Go to the public library. Local libraries typically archive materials such as local newspapers that you may not be able to find anywhere else.\nThe main branch of your local library typically has the entire archives of the local newspaper from the date of the first issue, usually on microfilm or microfiche.\nFor example, the New York Public Library has microform copies of The New York Times beginning with issues from 1857.\nUnfortunately, many of these microform collections are not searchable the way an online database would be, but if you know the approximate date of the person's death, you can scan through the newspapers until you find the published notice.\nMany local libraries also provide free access to databases such as NewsBank, which let you search newspaper obituaries and death notices nationwide. These databases typically are only available with a paid subscription, but library subscriptions enable patrons to enjoy free access. <img> Look for cemetery or burial records. If you know where the person was buried, you may be able to find a listing in the cemetery's records that provides more information about the person's death.\nCemetery records typically catalogue everyone buried there, since gravestones can become weathered and illegible over time. Burial records can be particularly helpful if you know where the person is buried but can't find their grave.\nAlthough typically you have to visit the cemetery itself to view these records, some districts now have their records available online. For example, you can use the Orange County Cemetery District's searchable database to find graves in Anaheim Cemetery, El Toro Memorial Park, and Santa Ana Cemetery. <img> Visit your state archives facility. If the person died in the United States, you probably can find death notices and additional information by researching at the state archives.\nKeep in mind these facilities typically are located in the state's capital. However, if you're unable to travel to that city to review the documents in person, you may be able to request them through the library of a local university or historical society.\nState archives tend to have older records than Social Security or other national records, and the records themselves may go into greater detail. <img> Research at a National Archives records center. The National Archives has a network of research facilities across the country that have federal records and other resources available.\nFor example, ancestry.com and other such services are available free of charge on computers at Archives facilities. You may be able to find records on those services that you wouldn't otherwise be able to access without paying for a subscription.\nYou can find the location you need on the National Archives website at http://www.archives.gov/locations/. The directory lists the address of each facility along with the particular services offered there.\nIf you're looking for the death notice of a person who was in the military, or who died overseas, you can most likely find something in the National Archives. <img> ", "Determine whether you need a certified or informational copy. Although most states make informational copies of death certificates available to anyone who asks, certified copies typically are restricted to close family members of the deceased.\nThe death certificate typically is prepared by the funeral home or other individual or organization in charge of the person's remains. In addition to the date, time, place, and cause of death, the death certificate includes information such as the person's full name and address, his or her birth date and birthplace, and the name and birthplace of the person's mother and father.\nThe death certificate also may include information about the person's education, military experience, marital status, and the name of the surviving spouse.\nBecause of the sensitivity of much of the information on the death certificate, many states restrict access to them. If you are unrelated to the person for whom you're seeking a death certificate, you may only be able to get a redacted informational certificate – particularly if the death was fairly recent.\nCertified copies are officially stamped and contain complete information. These copies typically are required for functions involved with the person's estate, such as transferring property or claiming death benefits. However, if you don't need the certificate for probate purposes, an informational copy should be sufficient. <img> Contact the appropriate state or county vital records department. Death certificates generally are kept in the state or county where the person died.\nIf the death occurred recently, the record may not yet be at the state vital records department, so you would need to go to the county. However, if it's been a year or longer you probably can find the certificate filed with the state.\nConversely, death records that are hundreds of years old typically are kept in local or county vital records offices rather than at the state level. For example, Minnesota began keeping death records at the state level in 1908. For earlier death records you would have to contact the office in the county where the death occurred.\nThe CDC has an online directory of the vital records offices in each state at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w.htm. <img> Fill out a request form. Most states have a particular form you must fill out to request either a certified or informational copy of the death certificate.\nIf you're requesting a certified copy, you usually must be related to the person as defined by state law. In most states, certified copies are available for parents, children, and siblings of the deceased.\nSome jurisdictions require death records request forms to be signed in front of a notary. Staff at the vital records office will tell you if this is required, or you may simply look on the form to see if there is a place for the form to be notarized.\nIf your request form must be notarized, you can fill out the required information, but don't sign it until you are in the presence of a notary.\nYou also may be required to submit documentation of your relationship to the deceased or your stated interest in the estate. <img> File your request form. Once you've completed your request form, you must file it with the state or county vital records office where you believe the death certificate to be located.\nYou must pay a fee for each copy of the death certificate. The fee varies among jurisdictions, but typically is between $10 and $15.\nKeep in mind that the fee is non-refundable, meaning you won't get any portion of it back if the office does not find the record you requested. <img> Receive the death certificate you requested. If you filed your request in person, you may be able to get the death certificate that day. If you mailed in your request or filed it online, expect several weeks of processing time before your copy is delivered.\nSome vital records offices may have expedited processing available for an additional fee. You can ask at the vital records office if this service is available, or check the state vital records website. <img> " ]

[ "Spend time around your mouse in its cage. If you’ve just brought home a new mouse, it will most likely be stressed, since its entire environment is new. Before you begin handling a new mouse, try to spend time near it. This also applies if you’re dealing with a mouse that you’ve owned for months or years but have not previously socialized. Spending time near your mouse will help it get used to your smell and the sound of your voice, and will greatly decrease the likelihood of your mouse biting you. Speak softly to your mouse, and move slowly while your mouse is still getting used to your presence. You—and your children—can also:\nRead or do homework in the room with your mouse’s cage.\nQuietly watch TV near your mouse’s cage.\nBring your mouse (in its cage) into the family room while you play a quiet game. <img> Place treats in the cage 2 or 3 times a day to help socialize your mouse. You need to socialize your mouse so that it’s used to your presence and your touch, and won’t bite or scratch you out of fear. When you first bring it home—or when you decide to start socializing a previously un-socialized mouse—leave your mouse in its cage for a few days. Then, introduce your mouse to your smell, and to being near your body, by setting a couple of small treats in your mouse’s cage. Remove your hand once you’ve set the treats down, or your mouse may be too afraid to eat them.\nYou can give a mouse sunflower seeds or raisins as a treat. Or, use small pieces of fruit (like half of a blueberry) as treats. Offer the treat on a wooden spoon and praise your mouse when it takes the treat. This helps associate your voice with good things and rewards.\nIf your children will be your mouse’s primary caretakers, encourage them to be the ones to offer your mouse treats and to begin to socialize it. <img> Stroke and pick up your mouse. After the third or fourth day on which you’ve given your mouse treats, you can begin to touch it. At first, use a couple of fingers to touch and stroke your mouse’s back. Once it seems comfortable with this amount of contact, gently scoop your mouse up into the palm of your hand. Continue to pet it, and return it to its cage after about 5 minutes.\nBe sure to handle your mouse safely by always holding it in a closed room and keeping it near the floor in case it jumps from your hand.\nMove slowly when handling your mouse, and never reach out and abruptly grab it. Encourage your children to do the same. <img> Handle your mouse every day to keep it socialized. Pet mice should be used to being handled by both adults and children. Your mouse will quickly learn that humans pose no threat, and consequently your mouse will be relaxed and not feel like it must defend itself when touched by people. However, if a mouse is neglected or doesn’t get handled often, it may bite or scratch people as a means of self-defense.\nOnce your mouse has become comfortable with its handlers, you can increase the length of time you hold it. Some mouse owners like to stroll around their house holding their mouse.\nIf you’ve been away for an extended period of time (e.g., a month-long vacation) and your mouse seems uncomfortable with being handled upon your return, you may need to begin the socialization process over again. <img> Adopt a second female mouse to keep a female mouse calm. Mice are social creatures and are most comfortable in pairs or groups. While most mice are satisfied to socialize with humans, some prefer being around other mice. If your pet mouse generally seems irritable and has a tendency to bite or scratch when picked up, try adopting a second mouse and keeping them in the same cage. It’s likely that the presence of a second mouse will calm down the first mouse, and decrease its aggression towards humans.\nWhile female mice do well when kept in a cage together, unneutered male mice do not. They tend to fight. You can have your male mice neutered to prevent this problem.\nIf you keep male and female mice in a cage together, it’s very likely that they’ll have babies. <img> ", "Handle your mouse when it’s calm and doesn’t feel frightened. In general, a mouse will bite or scratch a human in situations where it feels frightened. Its natural “fight or flight” instinct will kick in, and it may try to defend itself. So, only handle your mouse when it’s calm and feels safe. You can tell that your mouse feels stressed if it’s huddling in a corner of the cage or is standing motionless. A mouse may feel frightened if:\nIt’s in a loud environment. For example, if there are 6–7 people in the room with its cage.\nA cat or other predatory animal is in the room.\nA person tries to grab it or handle it roughly. <img> Do not handle a female mouse shortly after it gives birth. As with any mammal, female mice can be fiercely protective of their newly born young. If you try to pet a mother mouse, she may feel as if you’re threatening her pups, and bite or scratch you to defend them. If you must handle the mother after she’s given birth, move slowly and do not touch the pups.\nIf your children are your mouse’s primary caretakers, explain to them that they shouldn’t try to separate the mother mouse from her pups. <img> Wash your hands before petting your mouse. If you or your kids pet or handle a mouse shortly after you’ve eaten a meal, your mouse may smell the food on your hands and decide to take a bite, hoping to get a mouthful of tasty food. While this isn’t a sign of aggression or hostility, it can still hurt. So, always wash your hands before handling your mouse.\nSince mice rarely eat meat, they’ll be most likely to bite you if your hands smell like fresh fruit or grains (like oatmeal). <img> Never pick your mouse up by its tail. The tails of mice are sensitive, and it will cause your mouse pain and stress if you lift it by the tail (especially if you hold the tail by its tip). When it’s under stress and in pain, your mouse will likely try to bite or scratch you out of self-defense. To avoid being bitten, always hold a mouse by cupping it in your palm.\nIf your children frequently handle your mouse, let them know that it will hurt and scare your mouse if they pick it up by the tail. <img> Do not shout at or strike your mouse if it bites you. A mouse bite can be surprising and painful, but you shouldn’t react with anger towards your mouse. If your mouse bites or scratches you, return your mouse to its cage as quickly as possible and go clean the wound. Mice bite when they feel threatened, not out of feelings of anger or malice. If you shout at your mouse, hit it, or throw it across the room, you may permanently ruin any chance of your mouse coming to trust you.\nNot to mention, a sharp blow or fast toss across a room may be fatal to a mouse. <img> ", "Clean the wound by washing with soap and water. Firm bites and hard scratches from your mouse can be painful. If your mouse sinks its teeth or nails into your hand or arm, wash the location in your sink. Rub a standard soap on the wound until it’s covered in lather, and rinse the area with lukewarm water.\nDry the wound with a paper towel, so you can throw it away if a little blood gets on the material. <img> Cover the wound with a bandage if the bite or scratch broke your skin. Once the wound has dried, rub a small dollop of antibiotic cream on the wound. Then cover it with a clean bandage. Since scratches and bites from mice are typically small, a Band-Aid should work to cover up the wound.\nIf your mouse bites you but doesn’t break the skin, a bandage is unnecessary. Be sure to still wash the scratch, though.\nYou can purchase an antibiotic cream at a local drug store or pharmacy. <img> Take your mouse to your vet if a bite breaks your skin. Mice very rarely carry rabies. However, if a bite from your mouse breaks the skin and draws blood, take your mouse to the veterinarian immediately. The vet can test the animal for rabies, and confirm that it doesn’t have the disease.\nIf the test comes back negative, you’ll be able to take your mouse back home with you. A positive test will mean that your mouse must be euthanized. Although it may be sad to lose your pet, this is the most humane option for your mouse. <img> " ]

[ "Watch his eyes. A boy who is interested in you will likely show it with his eyes. Some of the behavior cues may seem contradictory, but they are dependent on his personality.\nA boy who is interested in you will likely try to make frequent eye contact. He will look into your eyes while you are speaking, and you may catch him looking at you from across the room.\nA shy boy may avoid eye contact because he is nervous talking to you. If he seems to be awkwardly looking around like he's not sure where to look, this may be a signal that he likes you. If he is simply looking at his phone or at someone else, he may not be interested.\nMen's pupils tend to dilate when they are aroused. If his pupils have dilated (the black part is larger than usual), then he may be interested in you. <img> Observe his posture. Male humans, like many mammals, change their physical stature when they are trying to impress a female of the same species. \nHe won't have his arms or legs crossed. Crossed arms and legs are body language for “no, stay away!”\nHe may lean in towards you while talking to you, or turn so his body is facing yours.\nHe will likely stand straight and tall with square shoulders to seem taller and more impressive.\nHe might even seem to be thrusting his pelvis out slightly. Alternately, some men subconsciously (or consciously) adjust their genitals when speaking with someone they are interested in. <img> Notice any touching. One of the surest signs of interest is if he finds reasons to touch you. If you are talking and he touches your arm or your hand, he is likely testing the waters to see how you will react to his touching you.\nEncourage the touching by doing it back. Touch or squeeze his arm lightly and look straight into his eyes while you are talking to him. You should be able to tell from his response if he is interested.\nNote that you should compare his touching with you to his normal behavior. If he seems to hug everyone who walks up to him, it may not mean anything if he hugs you. <img> Look for facial cues like blushing and smiling. A boy who is interested in you will likely spend a lot of time smiling at you. He'll also laugh at your stories, even if they are not very funny.\nIf a boy is shy, he will likely blush when you talk to him. Look for any redness on his cheeks or signs of sweaty palms (he may rub his palms on his clothing or fidget with his hands).\nHe may be more likely to say something awkward or embarrassing and then blush if he is nervous. Try to make him feel comfortable.\nNervousness can be a sure sign of interest. Do your best to make him feel comfortable by being kind and encouraging him to talk to you. <img> Detect any instances of mirroring. Men and women will both unintentionally mirror a person whom they are interested in. This means that they copy the person's mannerisms. It's a subtle way to show that they're feeling connected.\nYou can test this by doing something you don't normally do, like putting your hand up to your mouth or stretching. See if he does the same thing. <img> ", "Compare the boy's tone and mannerisms with you and others. The key to identifying whether a boy is flirting with you is to notice differences between the way he talks to you and the way he talks to other people.\nSome boys try to make their voices sound deeper and more manly when talking to a crush.\nSometimes boys will whisper or speak very quietly with someone they're interested in. This may make you get closer to hear him, or it can sent the signal that you have a secret bond. <img> Assess his enthusiasm about your interests. If he seems overly interested in everything that you do or say, he is probably interested in you, not your interests per se. Few people have exactly the same hobbies and passions, but everyone looks for commonality when starting a potential new relationship.\nBe sure that you reciprocate and ask him about his interests as well. Showing enthusiasm for things that he likes will send the signal that you are also interested. It will also make you seem less self-involved if you encourage him to share as well. <img> Check his clothing and grooming habits. If he knows that he is going to see you, he may pay special attention to preparing his appearance. Notice if he seems to be dressed up or if he has styled his hair more carefully than usual.\nIt would be nice to compliment him on his appearance if he appears to have put forth a little extra effort.\nA boy who is willing to make himself look nice for you is probably a better potential boyfriend than one who seems unwilling to make effort to impress you. <img> Notice obvious flirting. Things like cheesy pick-up lines or winking are traditional signs of obvious flirtation, and guys who don't have any other ideas about how to flirt will default to these. <img> ", "Have a meaningful conversation. You should be able to talk about a wide range of matters with someone in a loving relationship. Be sure you can have an actual 2-way conversation with a guy.\nThis can be everything from your hopes and dreams to your past relationships to your favorite celebrities.\nIf he doesn't contribute to a conversation or seems not to care about your opinions, he either does not have reciprocal feelings or isn't a good catch. <img> Go on a chaste date. Particularly if you have a physical relationship, try going on a date or having some time together that does not include physicality. Having fun together in a way that does not involve romance or passion is essential to a healthy relationship and can distinguish between a guy who is interested in you and one who is interested in just your body. <img> Make it through a difficult situation together. This is obviously not something you can manufacture, but if one of you goes through something that is emotionally difficult, you can often gauge the depth of a man's feelings for you.\nBe open with your feelings about the event as well as your partner.\nCommunicate about your emotional needs and his, but remember that boys are often hesitant to share their emotions. This doesn't mean that he is not interested in you. <img> Be upfront about your feelings and see how he responds. If you are in love with him and you want to know if he feels similarly, tell him how you feel.\nIf you tell him you love him, be aware that he may not say it back immediately. This does not mean that your relationship is over; he just may need some time to process the idea.\nWatch his body language when you tell him how you feel. If he immediately seems physically uncomfortable, he may not share the same feelings.\nIf he does not respond and seems to feel indifferent, then he may not truly care about you. <img> Talk about the future. Talking about the future serves dual purposes. First, it can be a way to evaluate whether you have common goals and values, which signals long-term compatibility. Second, it can expose the feelings of someone who is only interested in a short romance.\nBegin by talking about your individual goals and thoughts about the future.\nEventually ask if he can imagine a future together with you in it.\nKnow that goals and visions for the future can change a lot, especially when you are young. Reassessing those ideas periodically is a good idea. <img> Spend time with his family. If a boy invites you to spend time with his family, he probably loves you. It's unlikely that he would introduce his family to a girl he isn't interested in. Getting to know his family can also tell you a lot about where he comes from and the type of environment he is likely to perpetuate.\nReciprocate and invite him to spend time with your family as well.\nEven if his parents (or yours) do or say something embarrassing, it will give you something to laugh about later.\nBoys are often very close with their moms. If you can impress his mom and she likes you, the boy will likely be proud to bring you home.\nBe kind about his family. Sometimes people are embarrassed about their family situation and you can alienate them by making fun of their family, even if you do it as a joke. <img> " ]

[ "Sit down in a chair. Align your feet, knees, and hips so you're sitting up tall with a small arch in your lower back. Put your hands behind your head and clasp them together, like you're about to do sit-ups. <img> Stand without moving your feet. Engage your leg muscles and lift yourself in one fluid motion. Once you've risen to the point that your knees are straight but your back is still arched, lower yourself back down into your original position.\nTry not to move your feet at all throughout.\nKeep your knees aligned directly above your ankles when you are sitting, and do not allow them to extend beyond your mid-foot as you stand. <img> Do 3 sets of 10 reps each. Lift and lower yourself 10 times, then take a little break. Repeat until you've completed 3 sets. For best results, do this series of movements 5 days a week. It may take up to 6 weeks of consistent practice for you to notice results. <img> ", "Place a small object between your legs. If your knees tend to collapse inward when you stand, you may need to encourage your glutes to engage more. Doing the sit-to-stand exercise with a small object between your legs can help with this. If you have a small exercise ball, or even a kid’s bouncy ball, this is ideal, but almost any small object can work. Press the ball (or other object) between your legs, and squeeze your legs together to keep the object in place as you stand.\nYou can try using a small pillow, yoga block, stuffed animal, or book. <img> Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair. This will throw off your balance, making it a little harder for you to rise up into a full standing position. Using a stability ball helps to strengthen your legs more effectively, and to better tone your core. <img> Increase the number of reps. For faster results, you can gradually increase the number of reps you do in each set. Try doing 3 sets of 15. If you’d still like more intensity, you can do 3 sets of 20. You can also increase the number of times you do this exercise per week. <img> Use dumbbells to add extra resistance. Another way to make this workout a little more intense is to hold a dumbbell in each of your hands. Try starting with 3 pound (1.4 kg) weights. If that’s not enough, move up to 5 pounds (2.3 kg).\nIf you can get through 15-20 reps without feeling worn out, move up to slightly larger weights.\nAs you continue to work out, move your weights up in 2 pound (0.91 kg) increments approximately every 8 weeks. <img> " ]

[ "Open doors and windows. Ventilation is the best means to get rid of a new carpet smell. Masking the odors or using removers only does so much, as it simply takes time and airflow to get rid of the scent.\nOpen any windows and doors you can. If you have doors or windows with screens, keep them open as often as possible. <img> Turn on your air conditioner or heater. If you have items like a heater or air conditioner in your home, keep them on. This will increase air ventilation. This can help eliminate the new carpet smell quicker.\nHowever, if you pay for your own utilities, be careful about running the air conditioner. You can run up an electric bill fast by having the air conditioner running too often. <img> Use fans. If you don't have an air conditioner, use fans. Fans can promote air circulation and help reduce the smell of new carpeting. Place any fans you have in the room with the carpeting and turn them on.\nIf possible, also keep windows and doors open in the room with new carpeting.\nPlace the fans so that they are facing out towards the windows. This will help to push out the odor and keep the air circulating. <img> Keep the area ventilated for at least 72 hours. It takes time for the new carpeting smell to fade. You can speed up that time frame, however, with proper ventilation. Try to keep the room with the new carpet ventilated for at least 72 hours. This should get rid of some of the smell.\nRemember to open all of the windows and doors. This will help to promote a cross breeze. <img> ", "Vacuum your carpet often. You should always vacuum carpet frequently, even if it's not new. However, vacuuming often when you first get your carpeting may reduce the smell. Try vacuuming every day or every other day and see if this does anything to eliminate the new carpet odor.\nYou should always vacuum new carpet right after it is installed, as there may be debris and loose fuzz on the floor that needs to be vacuumed up. <img> Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet. Baking soda is great at absorbing odors in the home. If the new carpet scent is bothering you, sprinkle a layer of baking soda or a carpet deodorizer (check your local hardware store) over the carpet.\nAllow the baking soda to sit for one to two days. Then, vacuum it up.\nIf you still notice a strong scent, you may need to apply baking soda a second time. <img> Try steam cleaning. If the smell does not seem to go away with other methods, you can try steam cleaning. You can try renting a steam cleaner and using it yourself. You can also pay for professional steam cleaning.\nKeep in mind, this should only be used as a last resort. Steam cleaning can be expensive and it does not really require steam cleaning for reasons beyond the smell. <img> ", "Do not use detergents to remove the new scent. Detergents should not be used on carpeting in general and are especially unnecessary on new carpeting. Detergents tend to leave behind residue that can damage carpeting. Avoid removing smell via detergents. <img> Try a carpet that's VOC-free if you're sensitive to smells. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) produce a lot of new carpet smell. Some people are very sensitive to VOC's and may have respiratory problems in response to new carpeting. If your health is affected by the smell of new carpeting, go for a VOC-free carpet. <img> Avoid masking the odor with food. Cooking smells are easily absorbed into the carpeting. While this can mask the odor of new carpeting, it's hard to get the scent of food out of the carpet. If you use food to mask the smell, you may regret it later as your carpet will continue to smell like food for the long term. <img> Have patience. There is no way to completely eliminate new carpet odor. It simply takes a few weeks for the smell to fade. Be patient and give it time. If the new smell truly bothers you, try to stay out of the room with the new carpeting until the smell fades.\nYou can also use some air fresheners and burn incense to mask the odor until the odor is gone. <img> " ]

[ "Go food shopping. There are three meals traditionally served on Shabbat: a full Friday night dinner, a full Saturday afternoon lunch, and a comparatively lighter Saturday evening dinner (Seudat Shilisit in Hebrew; literally \"the third meal\"). If you are having guests for one or all of the meals, shop and prepare even earlier, or have them bring a dish or two to ease the workload. <img> Bathe yourself and clean your house. It is considered a praiseworthy mitzvah (good deed) to prepare your home for Shabbat. In addition to cleaning, this means using your best dishes, using your best linens, and wearing your best clothes. Traditionally, meals held in celebration of Shabbat should be fit for a queen. <img> Start Shabbat with the first blessing. Typically, there are two candles lit on the dinner table just before sunset on Friday to mark the start of Shabbat. These candles represent observing and remembering the Shabbat. To properly start Shabbat, you need to:\nLight the candles and cover or close your eyes.\nRecite the candle lighting blessing, which can be found at: http://www.reformjudaism.org/shabbat-customs <img> Pour, bless and drink the wine. The blessing of the kosher wine, or grape juice, is called Kiddoush. The wine is a symbol of joy and relaxation. To properly bless the wine, you need to:\nFirst, read aloud Genesis 1:31-2:3 from the Torah\nLift the cup of wine and bless it. Go to http://www.aish.com/sh/ht/fn/48967396.html to get more information on this blessing.\nBless Shabbat. This blessing can be found at: http://www.reformjudaism.org/practice/prayers-blessings/shabbat-evening-blessings-kiddush-blessing-over-wine <img> Bless, break, and eat the bread. Like the candles, you should have two loaves of braided Sabbath bread known as Challah. The blessing over the bread is called HaMotzi. The purpose of blessing the bread is to show gratitude for the meal that God has provided. To properly bless the bread, you should:\nUncover the bread and say a blessing over it. Information on this blessing can be found at: http://www.reformjudaism.org/practice/prayers-blessings/shabbat-blessings-hamotzi-blessing-over-bread-meal.\nSlice, salt, and eat the bread after the blessings. This can be in forms other the traditional braided loaves. Some prepare garlic pita bread, while others incorporate cinnamon and raisins to make a sweeter challah. <img> Serve an appetizer. Try making a Mediterranean dip, a unique salsa, or gefilte fish. These dishes are common to serve at the beginning of the meal. <img> Serve soup or salad. The next part of the meal typically includes serving and eating soup, salad, or both.\nIf serving a soup, try chicken soup, beef and mushroom barley, or ginger carrot soup.\nIf serving a salad, consider a mandarin-orange beet salad or a romaine pepper steak salad. <img> Serve a main dish with two or more sides. For the main course, there are many different options to choose from.\nFor the main dish, consider making meatballs in a mushroom sauce, apricot chicken, or brisket.\nFor the side dishes, try kugels, ratatouille, or green bean almandine. <img> Serve dessert. Finish the last course strong with a tasty and sweet treat. Some different desserts you may want to make include: apple crumble, peanut butter ice cream pie, or double chocolate fudge brownies. <img> ", "Attend a Jewish service. You can go to synagogue during Shabbat and experience a slightly varied form of Jewish worship where the focus is on personal and group prayer. At these services, you should focus more on praising God than making requests from him. <img> Study the Torah. You can also celebrate Shabbat by reading Jewish scripture. Doing this can help you focus on God and learn more about judaism. You can read the Torah by yourself or discuss it with a friend or family member.\nThe Torah is most prominently made up of historical stories, which reveal God’s influence and work, as well as the details of Halahka, the Jewish laws.\nMost importantly, The Torah teaches of commandments and the welfare of the body and soul.\nGet into the habit of reading and/or discussing a new section of the Torah with a friend or family member each Shabbat. Select a small group of Jewish laws to study, or pick a particular story to read and discuss with a friend over coffee. <img> Sing Jewish songs. There are many different Jewish songs, often in Hebrew, that have messages of praise and worship. During Shabbat, you can sing these songs at synagogue or a Shabbat meal with others. Some worship songs you can sing include:\n”Ki Tavo'u El Ha'aretz,” including text from the book of Leviticus\n”Vehitifu Heharim Asis,” including text from the book of Amos\n”Birkat HaKohanim,” including text from the book of Numbers <img> ", "Socialize with family, friends, and the synagogue community. Many take the time to reconnect with old relatives or friends during Shabbat. You can call, write, or spend time with those close to you to show them love and support. <img> Indulge in hobbies and relax. Since Shabbat is considered a day of rest, you can celebrate by doing whatever it is that relaxes you and feels like fun instead of work. Here are some examples of activities you may want to try:\nVolunteering\nGoing for a nature walk\nVisiting a museum <img> Participate in activities at your own discretion. Traditionally, there are thirty-nine different tasks that practicing Jews are not supposed to do during Shabbat. Mostly, these activities resemble work. However, the standards have shifted a lot over time. Some Jews adhere strictly to the list and others follow guidelines more loosely. There is much debate over the acceptability of partaking in certain activities, such as watching television, driving a car, cooking, cleaning, and spending money. Some of the original thirty-nine prohibited tasks include:\nPlowing\nBaking\nShearing wool\nWeaving\nSewing stitches\nWriting two or more letters\nBuilding\nKindling a fire <img> " ]

[ "Drink milk every day. The USDA recommends that both children and adults should drink 3 cups of low-fat or fat-free milk (or equivalent dairy products) everyday in order to get the calcium and vitamins your body needs. \nChildren are encouraged to drink whole milk until age 2 and then switch to 2% milk.\nIf you don't like the taste of milk, try adding flavors like vanilla extract, banana extract, or strawberry syrup. <img> Add milk to hot beverages. Try adding milk to your coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Milk will make your beverages creamy and smooth while reducing acidity and bitterness.\nBe aware, though, that adding milk to tea may reduce the benefits of drinking tea. Milk proteins interfere with your body's ability to absorb the beneficial flavonoid antioxidants found in tea. <img> Use non-fat powdered milk. Powdered milk can be added to any recipe that calls for milk, and can be used in coffee as a nutritious, fat-free substitute for non-dairy creamer. You can even add non-fat powdered milk to a glass of milk to double your vitamin intake. <img> Make chocolate milk. For a sweet treat that will satisfy adults and children alike, try making your own chocolate milk at home.\nMix cocoa powder, vanilla, milk, and sugar to taste. It's a simple, delicious recipe that will satisfy your craving for sweets without all the additives of store-bought chocolate milk. <img> Get creative. You can add milk to various recipes to make the food taste richer and creamier, while giving you an extra boost of vitamins and calcium. <img> Try using milk to make smoothies. Adding milk will thicken your smoothie and help you bulk up on vitamins and nutrients.\nUse a blender to mix ice, fruit, and non-fat or low-fat milk. If low-fat milk isn't thick enough for your smoothie, scoop in some creamy peanut butter for a richer, fuller flavor. <img> ", "Change your milk. If you're used to drinking whole milk, gradually lower yourself down to skim milk. This will reduce your intake of calories and saturated fat. Step down slowly from whole milk to two percent milk, then down to one percent milk, and finally, skim milk.\nYou may want to consider organic milk without added hormones. <img> Count calories. While most varieties of milk do come with calories, you can make smart choices or substitutions to accommodate for those calories in your daily diet. Cut out \"empty\" calories from your diet and drink more milk instead.\nIf you're unsure about whether you are getting enough dairy, or worry that you're consuming too much, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about dietary changes you can make for a better-balanced meal plan. <img> Choose milk over soda. One twelve-ounce cup of skim milk has fewer calories than most twelve-ounce cans of soda, and delivers vitamins and nutrients that soda lacks. <img> Make milk a priority. Milk and dairy products are essential for delivering the vitamins and nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and strong. You may need to cut out other parts of your diet if you're worried about fat and caloric intake, but milk should be a priority because of its many health benefits.\n\nCalcium keeps bones and teeth healthy.\n\nProtein is a good source of energy and builds and repairs your muscle tissue.\n\nPotassium helps regulate blood pressure and is important for bone and muscle strength.\n\nPhosphorus helps strengthen your bones and teeth. It also helps your body filter waste in the kidneys.\n\nVitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorous.\n\nVitamin B12 helps maintain healthy red blood cells and helps maintain nerve tissue.\n\nVitamin A helps maintain normal vision and healthy skin, teeth, and tissue.\n\nNiacin, a B vitamin, can help regulate your cholesterol. <img> Get your dairy from other sources. If you're worried about adding calories by drinking milk with a meal, try fat-free yogurt as a healthy snack. You can even make a breakfast out of yogurt by adding dry cereal, nuts, and fruit. <img> ", "Drink a glass of milk with food. Some people who have a hard time digesting lactose (found in dairy products) find that combining milk with food makes it easier to digest. <img> Take lactase enzyme tablets. These over-the-counter pills can be taken right before meals to help your body digest milk and dairy products. <img> Buy lactose-free milk. Some dairies and milk producers add lactase directly to milk, so you can get the taste and nutritional value of milk without the risk of digestive problems.\nUnsweetened almond milk, coconut milk and rice milk are all great alternatives. <img> Try other dairy products. If drinking milk is not an option, opt for other milk products, like yogurt or cheese. Even though these foods are still made with milk, they may be easier to digest. <img> " ]

[ "Look for true cedars in their native habitat of the Mediterranean. These trees primarily grow in places like Cyprus, the mountains of Northern Africa, Turkey, and Northern Indian. If you find one outside of these areas, it was likely transplanted in.\nYou can find these trees around the United States, where people have brought them in and planted them. <img> Check for dense clusters of blue-green needles. True cedars actually have evergreen needles instead of scale-like leaves that create finger-like extensions. You'll find them in thick groups along the branches, usually coming out of a thick peg-like extension.\nGenerally, the needles are 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) long.\nYou'll also see single needles in places, which indicate the newest growth on the plant. <img> Watch for the larger cones on top of the branches. These trees bear large barrel-like cones. You'll see them sitting atop the branches rather than hanging in clusters below.\nThese cones will be covered in thin scales. The scales fall off when the cone matures.\nCones are usually 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2 cm) long. <img> Notice the height of 130 to 160 feet (40 to 49 m). These trees can get relatively tall, and they can have a leaf span of 50 feet (15 m) or more. They can also measure as much as 3 feet (0.91 m) in diameter. <img> ", "Check for reddish brown bark and cones. The bark will have a reddish hue to it, and it has vertical ridges up and down the tree. The cones are also reddish, and they are small, only about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) around. <img> Look for leaves in opposite pairs. Leaves on Western Red Cedars grow in pairs at a 90-degree angle. That means that when you're looking at the leaves, they will make a v-shape along the branch, with the \"V\"s pointing inwards.\nBecause the leaves form opposite pairs, it creates a flat structure, almost like a lattice.\nThe leaves are small and scale-like, and they often have 3 points on the end. They form long finger-like extensions that make the \"V\"s.\nCrush a leaf in your hand, and it will create a strong smell. The scent is a little bit like pineapple. <img> Watch for trees over 100 feet (30 m). Western Red Cedars are very tall, and they can grow above 200 feet (61 m). Typically, if the cedar is above 100 feet (30 m), it's a Western Red Cedar.\nTo help you estimate the height, think about your own height. How many of you would it take to reach the top? That can give you some idea of the tree's height. <img> Check for Western Red Cedars in the Pacific Northwest. The trees' native habitat is in the western part of the United States, particularly the northwest. They prefer to be closer to sea level rather than up in the mountains, though you will find them at almost any elevation.\nWhile the tree is native to the Pacific Northwest, people have taken it to other temperate climates, so you'll find it places like New Zealand, Australia, and Western Europe. <img> ", "Look for peeling silvery brown bark and small reddish cones. Typically, the main part of the bark will be white or silvery with vertical stripes of light brown. You'll see little bits of it splintering off in small strips. The cones are about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) in diameter.\nThe cones are only found on male trees.\nYou might also see hints of red.\nIf you dig down a little bit into the bark, you'll get the \"cedar\" wood smell. <img> Check for scale-like leaves that form finger-like extensions on 4 sides. Eastern Red Cedar leaves are similar to Western Red Cedar in that they are scale-like and form \"fingers.\" However, they go all around the stem, rather than just forming opposite pairs.\nLeaves can be yellow-green or dark green. <img> Watch for pea-sized blue berries on female trees. Female trees produce small cones that look like berries. They start out green. Eventually, they'll develop a blue hue. Birds and other wildlife feed on the berries.\nYou can identify a female tree by these berry-like cones. <img> Check for a height of 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 m). These trees don't get nearly as tall as a the Western Red Cedar. They top out at about 60 feet (18 m) with a trunk that's about 1 to 3 feet (0.30 to 0.91 m) in diameter.\nAs a guide, 60 feet (18 m) is about the length of a bowling lane.\nWhen these trees are younger, they typically look more like shrubs. <img> Look for this tree in a variety of habitats. This tree is very adaptable, so you will find it in forests, prairies, and pastures, just to name a few. In fact, it does well in areas that other trees have trouble in.\nAlso, it's often one of the first trees to return to an area that's suffered damage, such as wildfire. <img> ", "Pay attention to blue-green leaves with scales. These trees have scale-like leaves that extend out in small fingers. They make fan-like shapes, and they have a strong scent if you crush one.\nThe leaves generally make a flat shape, making them look a bit like ferns. <img> Check for reddish bark that splinters off and very small cones. The bark on this tree is similar to the Eastern Red Cedar in that it has a reddish hue. It also peels off in small strips that look somewhat like large splinters.\nThe cones on this tree don't get above 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) in diameter. They have a blue/purple hue and are smooth before maturity. The cones mature in the fall, and turn a reddish brown with small scales. <img> Notice a height of 40 to 85 feet (12 to 26 m). In certain areas, such as Maine, these trees will stay on the short end, at about 40 feet (12 m). However, it generally doesn't get above 85 feet (26 m), even in more temperate areas. <img> Watch for Atlantic White Cedar in lower elevations near the coast. These trees prefer to be below the elevation of 200 feet (61 m). You can find them in wet or lowland areas.\nBecause these trees have a very limited habitat range, you're less likely to run across one. <img> " ]

[ "Assess the reason for the stubbornness. Ask your parent about the reason for the stubbornness. Be sure to ask in a polite manner. You could try saying something like \"I think I would be much less upset if you could let me know your side of the story. Why is it that you are saying no to this?\"\nIf this causes your parent to become angry, consider letting it go and moving on or trying again once your parent as calmed down. <img> Apologize. Sometimes it just isn't worth fighting even if you think you're right. If you assess that this is the case, then try apologizing. You don't have to lie and be sorry for disagreeing with your parent's opinion (which might well be legitimate), but you can still sincerely apologize for fighting with your parent. There are a number of ways to apologize:\nI was angry and I shouldn't have called you that bad name, I'm sorry if I hurt you.\"\nI wasn't thinking about things from your perspective, I'm sorry for fighting with you.\"\nI'm really sorry about saying that mean thing.\" <img> Take slow deep breaths. If you are in the middle of a fight and want it to end, try to slow down the tempo of the situation and your own reaction to it. You can do this by taking some deep breaths.\nBreathe in through your nose, counting to five, hold for two seconds and then exhale through your mouth. <img> Excuse yourself. One way to end a fight is to leave the situation. Let both tempers dissipate by taking some time away from each other. Be sure to be polite when you excuse yourself from the conversation or it may backfire and escalate the fight.\nFor example, you could say \"I think we will just keep fighting if I stay here, I'll have to excuse myself, let's try talking again later, please, once I'm more calmed down.\"\nAvoid putting the blame on your stubborn parent or this may just cause him to dig his feet in more firmly as a defensive reaction to your accusations. <img> Remain level-headed. A stubborn parent in a fight is more likely to be calmed down if you yourself remain calm. You will be more likely to end the fight if you stay cool headed rather than getting stubborn and upset yourself.\nAlthough it can be difficult to remain level-headed in a fight when you are likely upset, try your best. It may help if you don't fight on an empty stomach, when you are already feeling crummy and may have less self-control. <img> ", "Approach your parent at a good time. Sometimes when you try to approach a touchy subject, odds are you're not going to get the answer you'd like. Ask them or bring up the problem at a time they're in their best mood and you will be most likely to get the response you are looking for.\nTry to get a sense of when your parent is most likely to be in the best mood. Is it in the morning or at night? Is it on the weekend? Is it when the sun is out? <img> Spend time with your parents. Do some activities together or ask your parent how the day went. It is easy to forget to spend time with your parents, which can reduce your bond, and might in turn make conflict more. There are a number of activities you could participate in together:\nTake your dog for a walk.\nPlay video games together.\nWatch a movie together.\nPlay a board game together.\nGo shopping together. <img> Show your love. Walk up to your parent and give a big hug. Tell your parent how much you care. Although telling your parent is important, you can do more than that by demonstrating your love:\nMow the lawn.\nDo the dishes.\nWash your parent's car.\nWrite a letter or thank you card.\nCook a meal for your parent. <img> Be open with your parents. Tell your parents how you feel and update them about your life. In doing so you they may be more likely to see things from your perspective, which might make them less stubborn.\nYou could tell you parents about your day at school or work.\nYou could tell them about something you are excited for and why.\nYou could talk about things in your life that you are worried about. <img> Avoid loafing. No one likes it when a relationship seems unfair and unbalanced. Although it is true that the relationship between you and your parents is unbalanced in that they are supposed to do more things for you (i.e., raise you and provide for you up to a certain age) than you are for them, this doesn't mean that you should sit around and do nothing or not help out when you can! If your parents see you working hard they might be more likely to not be so stubborn, which will lead to less fighting.\nBe sure to keep your room clean.\nBe sure to do the chores that are assigned to you.\nTry not to make too many messes, or clean up after yourself if you do.\nWork hard in school or at your job. <img> Vent your feelings to a friend. Talk to a close friend about how your parent makes you feel. She may be able to offer advice or will, at the very least, be able to offer social/moral support.\nYou may find that by blowing off steam with a friend, you are less combative or likely to fight with your stubborn parent. <img> Try to avoid trigger topics. If you know that there are some topics that your parent never backs down on, such as whether you can borrow his car, try your best to avoid this.\nThink about what other options you have. Maybe you could take a bus or a taxi or ask a friend to drive. <img> Take your parent's perspective. Maybe there's a reason that he or she keeps saying no. Try to put yourself in your parent's shoes and consider why your parent might be acting stubborn.\nTry to remember that in most cases, even if it seems like your parents are misguided, they are probably trying to protect you.

[ "Know that there are a variety of degrees of deaf-blindness, or dual-sensory loss. People with extremely limited sight and hearing can also be considered deaf-blind. Some people with dual-sensory loss may still have some vision or hearing, however limited. They may still be able to speak or read in certain instances. On the flip-side, communication may be limited or restricted to expression of physical needs. People who are unable to communicate are not dumb, but instead hold a great deal of potential for personal development.\nCongenital deaf-blindness is when a person is born without hearing and sight. This, depending on the level of auditory/visual loss and other factors like environment and other conditions, could greatly affect the individual's communication and basic self-care skills.\nAcquired deaf-blindness is developed later in life, through an injury, illness, or age. People who have had the opportunity to undergo a \"normal\" childhood are often more adaptable to different methods of communication, especially those involving knowledge such as spelling, a concept of labelling, space and of communication itself.\nCongenital deafness/acquired blindness is when someone is born deaf and loses their sight later in life due to injury, age, or illness.\nCongenital blindness/acquired deafness happens when someone is born without sight, and then later loses their hearing due to injury, illness, or age. <img> Be aware that there are a variety of techniques used to communicate by and with people who are deaf and blind. Each person is different. Because there is so much variance in the degree of sensory loss, and because overcoming these limitations is a massive challenge, there is much variance in the ways the deaf and blind navigate communication, including:\nSpeech\nWritten communication\nGraphic and non-tactile symbols\nTactile symbols and object cues\nGestures/movement cues\nFacial expressions or noises which indicate a feeling or opinion\nManual sign language\nTactile sign language\nBraille\nTouch cues\nSymbolic action (e.g. taking you to the tap for a drink) <img> Prepare to face miscommunication. In certain cases, it may not be possible for the general public to communicate with the deaf-blind. It is not uncommon for trained communication partners to have difficulty or even fail entirely to communicate effectively with their deaf-blind partner. Frequently, people who are unable to properly communicate with the deaf-blind choose to ignore the communication or the person altogether. Do not do this, but rather, see if there is someone else who can understand what the person is trying to express or a different method of doing so. Do not give up. <img> Take the deaf-blind person's hands. Hands are the ears, eyes, and voice of many people who are both deaf and blind. Being hand-in-hand allows for continued communication through the physical connection. A person who is deaf and blind may not realize you are trying to engage him. Taking his hands enables him to experience your attempt to interact and communicate to him and to connect together physically. <img> Seek medical advice about both senses. Be open to anything the medical experts can recommend. Even a small improvement can improve the quality and/or quantity of sight and/or hearing, which in turn could improve communication.\nBe especially pushy about assessment and action if the deaf-blind individual is a child, as this is the critical period (most important time) for development and will affect the child's communication for the rest of their life.\nIf possible, get the medical practitioner to test the type of hearing loss the individual has.\nDifferent hearing aids may have varying levels of success depending on where the problem in hearing lies. As well as typical inner-ear hearing aids, ask about bone-conducting hearing aids, which can be fitted on headbands and glasses for ease of wearing.\nTests should ideally be conducted several times, especially if communication is a considerable issue. This ensures that results are accurate, rather than representing a day when the person was not feeling communicative. <img> ", "Look for a communication partner. In some cases, people with dual-sensory loss are accompanied by a partner trained to facilitate communication for the deaf-blind. This person will have sometimes formal education in deaf-blind communication, and will have developed rapport. It has been shown that the level of education in deaf-blindness has the greatest impact on communication with the deaf-blind. <img> Look for more subtle cues. The person may try to communicate with you without using a communication partner. These may include hints in the form of:\nChanges in body language\nPre-written notes or cards\nRecordings or utterances\nChanges in the person's breathing\nChanging facial expressions\nPhysical actions (such as taking you to the fridge for food)\nIf they reach for your hands, this could be an attempt to communicate. <img> Take any card or note that is provided to you, so that the person knows you have received the message. Then hand it back, unless instructed otherwise. A person who is deaf-blind might communicate using written messages or pre-recorded messages. These are used to convey essential information about their activities. <img> Be patient. Communication for the deaf-blind can be extremely difficult. The person may need considerably more time than you are used to in order to express what he is trying to say. By giving him the time to fully convey or to try different ways to express the idea, you can help facilitate interaction. <img> ", "Use sign language if they do. Sign language comes in a variety of forms. Many people know the tactile finger-spelling signs, as well as some basic adapted American Sign Language. For people who do not know either, it is possible to use the POP, or Print On Palm, method, by using your index finger to trace the letters on a blind and deaf person's palm.\n\nMemorize the finger-spelling hand signs.\nTake an ASL (American Sign Language) class.\nConsider learning finger braille, a modern, Japanese way of signing with your fingers. <img> Use tadoma if they do. Tadoma is a method of communicating with the blind and deaf whereby their hands are placed on the lips of the speaker. The person with dual-sensory loss feels out the shape of the words as you say them. This is similar to lip reading. Not all people who are deaf-blind can use tadoma, and not everyone will be comfortable with another person placing a hand on their mouth. <img> Wait at least five seconds before prompting for response. Studies show that waiting five, ten, and fifteen seconds all were measurably more useful in communication with the deaf-blind. A zero to one second wait before prompting for a response is too short. <img> Learn to use Braille if they do. There are devices called braillers that allow you to type out a message for a blind person to read. Sometimes these can be very expensive, and you might think of also getting a (cheaper) braille label printer. Companies are even developing braille technology for smartphones. <img> Be patient and don't give up. If your deaf-blind loved one doesn't use any of these methods, be sensitive to their needs and persist with what works for them.\nSpend time with your loved one so that you can pick up even a subtle change to their demeanour, behaviour and communication patterns.\nEnthusiastically and overtly encourage any and every small communication success they have with them. Rome wasn't built in a day.\nTalk to their teachers or other people who spend time with them. If they're in education (of any shape or form) then there ought to be goals for the individual - or at least specific lessons. If they're not in education, you could seek it, or seek an expert. Alternatively, you could come up with some simple things yourself.\nTry accompanying one specific command with a sign if you think they might be able to see you. Repeat the sign every time you ask that of them, until they can anticipate what you will be doing with them from the sign.\nMaintain a healthy routine which enriches their life, because at the end of the day, your loved one's happiness is more important than any amount of communication. <img> " ]

[ "Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon and pour it into a bowl. Lemon juice is a natural skin toner and brightener. Keep in mind that lemon juice will make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Do not go out into the sun after using the scrub; it is best to use this at night. <img> Mix in ¼ to ½ cups (55 to 115 grams) of sugar. While bad for your health, sugar is great for your skin. It will help exfoliate away dead skin cells and reveal the soft, supple skin underneath. <img> Get into the bathtub or shower, and soak your legs for 5 minutes. This will soften your skin, and make the simple scrub more effective. If you'd like, you can even start your usual bathing or showering routine. <img> Take a small handful of the sugar-lemon mixture, and rub it onto your legs using small, circular motions. Start from the top of your leg, and work your way gradually toward the bottom. <img> Rinse the mixture off with water. If you'd like, you can wash your legs with some soap and water to get rid of any sticky residue. You can also shave your legs at this point. Many people find that shaving just after exfoliating leaves their skin silky-smooth. <img> Pat the skin dry and apply some moisturizer. While great at toning and exfoliating, this mixture can be a little drying, so make sure that you apply some moisturizer after you get out of the shower. If you tend to have very dry skin, consider applying the moisturizer while your skin is still damp; this will help seal in the moisture better. <img> ", "Fill a jar with 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar. You can use white, raw, or brown sugar. If you have sensitive skin, use brown sugar; it is gentler than white or raw sugar. <img> Add 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of oil. You can use any type of oil, but consider any of the following: almond, baby, coconut, grapeseed, or olive <img> Consider adding some extra ingredients, such as vitamin E oil or fragrance. At this point, you have all the ingredients in the jar to make a basic scrub You can make your scrub more special by adding some extra ingredients. Here are some suggestions to get you started:\n½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vitamin E oil will nourish and soften your skin.\n3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice will add a fragrance and help \"tighten\" your skin.\n15 to 20 drops essential oil (such as lavender, lemon, or peppermint) will give your scrub a nice fragrance.\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract will give your scrub a heavenly aroma.\n½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) of ground pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon will give your scrub a warm scent. <img> Stir with a spoon until combined, and make any necessary adjustments. If the scrub is too dry for you, add more oil. If the scrub is too wet for you, add more sugar. Start with a tablespoon (15 grams) of either ingredients, stir, and add more if needed.\nThe ideal scrub is wet and grainy. <img> Get into your bathtub or shower, and let your legs soak for 5 minutes. During this time, you can multitask, and start bathing. This will help soften the skin on your legs, and make the scrub more effective. <img> Scoop out a small amount of the scrub and massage it onto your legs using small, circular motions. You will only need about 1 tablespoon (15 grams) for each leg. Take care not to scrub too harshly, however, or you will irritate your skin instead. <img> Rinse the scrub off. If you need to, use a mild soap to get rid of any oily residue. Some people like to leave this residue on their legs, as they find it moisturizing.\nIf you want, you can shave your legs at this point. Many people find that exfoliating their legs just before shaving helps them get a smoother, closer shave. <img> Pat your skin dry, and apply a moisturizer, if desired. Sugar scrubs already contain plenty of oil, so you will likely not need to apply a moisturizer afterwards. If your skin still feels dry, however, you can apply some moisturizer. <img> ", "Assemble a soap-making double-boiler and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Fill a pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water. Place a large glass measuring cup or jar in the center. <img> Cut the glycerin soap base into 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) cubes and add them to the cup. This recipe is enough for 8 cubes. <img> Stir in ¼ cup (55 grams) of coconut oil. Keep stirring until the oil has melted. Make sure that you are using solid coconut oil and not liquid. <img> Carefully remove the cup from the pot and set it aside for 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool down a little. Be careful when handling the cup; use an oven mitt or potholder to handle it. <img> Stir in 10 drops of your favorite essential oil to give your scrub bar a nice scent. Once the mixture has cooled a little, start adding the essential oil. You don't want to add the oil too soon, or the heat will cause the fragrance to burn off. You can use a single scent, or a combination of two or more scents. Here are some suggestions to get you started:\nBasil and lemon\nCinnamon and clove\nLavender and lemon\nOrange and vanilla\nVanilla and lavender <img> Stir in 1 cup (225 grams) of sugar. Make sure that the mixture is cool before you add the sugar, or the sugar will melt. Keep stirring until everything is evenly combined. There should be no streaks, swirls, lumps, or clumps. <img> Carefully pour the mixture into a silicon ice cube tray. You can also use a soap-making mold, if you'd like a larger bar. <img> Wait until the mixture hardens, then carefully pop the cubes out. This will take 1 to 2 hours. Once it hardens, it will become opaque and solid, sort of like a sugar cube or textured soap bar. If you notice that the bar is still damp, wait until it dries completely before you use it.\nIf you are in a hurry, you can also stick the molds in the freezer. The scrub bar will set even faster there. <img> Get into a bathtub or shower, and soak your legs for 5 minutes. During this time, you can start your usual bathing or showering routine. Soaking your legs first will help soften the skin and make the scrub more effective. <img> Take a sugar scrub bar, and massage your legs with it using small, circular motions. Take care not to scrub too harshly, however, or you may irritate your skin. As you use the bar, it may crumble in your hands. Don't worry, this is normal. Simply keep massaging the scrub over your legs.\nYou can also dampen the scrub bar first, crumble it, and then use it as a normal sugar scrub. <img> Rinse the scrub off. Because this scrub already contains soap, you likely won't have much or any residue left on your legs when you are done. If you do have an oily residue, you can simply wash it off using soap, or leave it on for extra moisture.\nConsider shaving your legs when you are done.

[ "Hold a vehicle’s trunk closed with a bungee cord to transport oversized items. Pull your trunk down gently as far as it will go over a load of something like lumber or a bike that’s sticking out of your trunk. Hook one end of the bungee cord through the trunk’s latch, then hook the other end underneath the rear bumper or around a piece of metal on the vehicle’s undercarriage.\nIt’s a good idea to do a test drive around the block after closing your trunk using this method, then get out and double-check the bungee cord to make sure the load is really secure. That way, you won’t be in for a surprise when you get on a busier road! <img> Place a bungee cord across bags in your car to hold them steady. Place a bag in the passenger seat and wrap a bungee cord tightly around the bag and the seat. Hook the ends of the cord together to keep the bag still while you’re driving, so you can focus on the road without worrying about groceries spilling everywhere!\nYou can also keep items from moving around in your trunk by hooking the ends of a bungee cord to the cargo loops on opposite sides inside the trunk, so that the cord supports and braces things like boxes or bags. <img> Tie down tarps using bungee cords to protect items against the elements. Place a tarp over anything you want to protect against rain and other bad weather, such as a stack of lumber in your truck. Hook bungee cords through the eyelets on the tarp and hook the opposite ends to something secure, such as the underside of your truck bed.\nYou can also use this technique to create a rain shelter if you’re camping. Just hook bungee cords through the eyelets of a tarp and wrap them around different tree trunks or branches to stretch out the tarp, then hook the other ends through the same eyelets to secure the cords around the trees. <img> ", "Wrap bungee cords around bundles of things to keep them neatly together. Gather together a bundle of something you want to secure, such as firewood, long-handled tools, or rugs. Loop a bungee cord around the middle of the bundle enough times to hold it together tightly, then hook the ends of the bungee cord together to secure it in place.\nOther bundled things you might try holding together with a bungee cord include hoses, extension cords, and lumber. Anything you are having trouble keeping together in a neat pile or bundle may be a candidate for a bungee cord! <img> Stretch a bungee cord across an open shelf to prevent items from falling off. Put a nail, screw, hook, or loop into the wall or the shelf itself on either side of the items you want to secure. Hook one end of a bungee cord to the nail, screw, hook, or loop on one side, then stretch it across the items on the shelf and hook it to the hardware on the other side.\nFor example, if you have a shelf full of cleaning products in your garage or in a storage closet, you could use this technique to help keep them in place and prevent them from falling down when you’re rummaging through them looking for something. <img> Hang light items from bungee cords to tidy up or decorate. Stretch a bungee cord across a wall between 2 screw hooks, eyelets, nails, or screws inserted into the wall. Use hooks or clips to fasten lightweight items to the bungee cord, such as bags or purses, decorative towels, artwork, or anything else light that you want to organize or display.\nFor example, you could use some S-hooks to hang lightweight brooms and other cleaning supplies from a bungee cord stretched across your garage wall. Put 1 end of the S-hook through the eye in the handle of the broom or other item, then hook the other end over the bungee cord. <img> Keep garbage can lids closed tightly by stretching a bungee cord over them. Hook one end of a bungee cord underneath the handle or edge of the trash can on one side. Pull it across the top of the trash can lid and hook the other end onto the handle or edge on the opposite side.\nYou can also keep outdoor trash cans from blowing over in the wind by placing a bungee cord across the front of the trash cans and hooking the ends around screw hooks, nails, screws, or screw loops in a wall on either side of the trash cans.\nThis could also be a handy solution if you have neighborhood pests like raccoons that are getting into your trash cans! <img> Prevent outdoor tablecloths from blowing away with a pair of bungee cords. Hook one end of a bungee cord over the tablecloth and the edge of the table, from underneath the table, at one end of your outdoor dining table. Stretch the cord underneath the table and hook the other end onto the other side of the table and tablecloth. Repeat this with another cord at the other end of the table.\nThis is a great way to prevent dining disasters if you’re hosting an outdoor barbeque or other meal on a windy day, for example. <img> Fix a missing strap or support in a piece of furniture with a bungee cord. String bungee cords across something like a lawn chair where it is missing a seat support or back support strap. Weave the cord underneath and over top of the existing straps if the furniture has a lattice weave pattern of straps and supports.\nYou can even make bungee cords the focal point of a piece of furniture by weaving cords over and under each other across something like a chair frame that doesn’t have any existing straps for a fun DIY furniture project. <img> ", "Replace broken straps on bags with a bungee cord in a pinch. Remove the broken strap from the attachment points. Hook both ends of a bungee cord around the attachment loops or rings and use it to carry your bag.\nThis isn’t really a permanent solution, but it could save the day if you’re out and about and the strap on something like a shoulder bag or tote bag breaks. <img> Hold your pants up in an emergency with a bungee cord. Wrap a single bungee cord through your belt loops and hook the ends together if you don’t have a belt handy. Hook a pair of bungee cords over your shoulders and to your front and back belt loops to create a pair of makeshift suspenders.\nYou could also do this to hold up an old pair of jeans when you’re cleaning your home or doing yard work if you don’t want to risk damaging or getting a belt dirty. It doesn't look fancy, but it does the trick! <img> Use a bungee cord instead of an exercise band. Drill holes big enough for your bungee cord’s hooks into a pair of wooden dowels or plastic rods, then hook the ends of the cord through the dowels or rods to make handles. Cover the hooks in 3-4 layers of duct tape as an alternative to create makeshift handles.\nYou can use a bungee cord for any workouts you need an exercise band for, such as bicep curl resistance band exercises.\nYou could also hook the ends of a bungee cord over something like a broom handle to create a single long handle to work out with. <img> Wrap a bungee cord around a yoga mat to keep it tightly closed. Roll your yoga mat up tightly, then wrap a bungee cord around it enough times to keep it cinched closed. Hook the ends of the bungee cord together to hold it in place.\nYou could even try cinching your mat closed at both ends with bungee cords, then hook the ends of a third cord over both of those to create a makeshift shoulder strap for toting your mat around town. <img> " ]

[ "Sort your papers by class. If your binder or notebooks are full of notes from different classes, in no particular order, start by arranging them into separate piles. Arrange these piles in a row according to the order you attend those classes. <img> Go through each stack and remove old papers. Remove graded work and old assignment instructions, and store them in a separate binder or folder to leave at home and help you study for tests. Set aside classwork from previous years, returned projects, and non-school-related papers. Save any of these that you think will be useful for studying, along with any projects you or your parents want to keep for your own enjoyment. Throw away the rest.\nKeep the \"at home\" binder or folders in an obvious place where they won't get lost in clutter, such as on a bookshelf in your room. <img> See if you can fit the remaining papers into one binder. Having just one binder for all your classes can be great for keeping yourself organized, since you don't have to keep track of a separate notebook for each class. If you have a giant stack of papers, try to separate them into two binders using one of these systems:\nTry using one binder for classes before lunch, and one binder for classes after lunch. If you have a locker at your school, you only need to carry one of these around at a time, but remember to pick up both before you leave for the day.\nIf your school has Monday-Wednesday-Friday classes and Tuesday-Thursday classes, separate your papers into two binders so you only need to take one binder to school each day. Remember to put the right binder in your backpack the night before each school day. <img> Insert a colored divider into your binder for each class. Dividers are just a colored sheet of paper, usually with a small tab where you can write the name of a class. Put colored dividers into the binder in the order your classes happen. For instance, if your first class is math and your second is English, put a blue divider labeled \"Math\" at the front of your binder, followed by a red divider labeled \"English.\" <img> Insert a three-hole folder into each class section. Two-pocket folders are a great tool to have, since they let you put in and take out papers without having to open and close the binder rings. Don't use this for all papers. It's best for handouts or homework assignments that are due in the next day or two, since they won't be staying in the binder for long. <img> Use a plastic sleeve to protect important papers. Most classes have a syllabus, assignment list, or other papers that you need to look at throughout the semester. For each class, find a plastic sleeve or \"sheet\" protector with three holes and put it in the binder after the folder for that class. Keep each important paper in a separate sleeve to protect it from tearing. <img> Organize your other papers to see if you need white dividers. Before you put the rest of the papers in your binder, organize the papers from each class from oldest to newest. If you have more than fifteen papers in the stack, use white paper dividers to organize them into categories. These are blank sheets with tabs, just like the colored plastic dividers you already have in there, but the different look should make it obvious that they divide papers within one class, instead of dividing multiple classes. Here are some examples of how you could divide papers from one class into multiple sections:\nFor almost any class, you could use three white paper dividers labeled \"Handouts,\" \"Homework,\" and \"Notes.\"\nIf a teacher gives you tests on specific topics, organize your class material by those topics to make studying easier. For instance, label your English class dividers \"Reading Assignments\" and \"Vocabulary.\" <img> Put in the rest of your papers. Once you've decided how to sort your papers, put each paper after the colored divider for its class, and after the white divider for its category if you are using those. Sort your papers in each section from earliest to latest, to make them easier to find. <img> Add lined paper for taking notes. Put in about ten to twenty sheets of lined paper for each class. You'll almost certainly need more than this during the semester, but you don't need to add it all now. Keeping less paper in your binder makes it easier to find specific notes, and reduces the weight you need to carry around every day.\nAdd graph paper for your math or science classes if your teacher requests it. <img> ", "Organize your binder each night before class. Pick a time each day to go through your backpack and sort your papers and other supplies. Move graded work and old handouts to a folder you keep at home, so you can use them to study later. Check that all your homework assignments are packed into the right folder in your binder.\nSome people remember to do this more often if they organize their binder right after they get home. Waiting too long can make you unwilling to return to \"school mode.\" <img> Use a planner. A daily planner or portable calendar makes keeping track of assignments much easier, as well as of upcoming quizzes, tests, exams, and project due dates. Many people write down each assignment in the space provided for the day it is due. If you keep forgetting to look ahead at your assignment, however, you can try a different system that keeps all your current assignments in the same place:\nEach time you are given a new assignment, write it down in your planner in the space for today' date. Write the due date next to the name of the assignment.\nEach evening after school, look at your planner's entry for yesterday's date. Cross out any assignments you've completed, then re-write the names of all uncompleted assignments in today's date.\nInstead of a paper calendar or agenda book, you can use an application, such as Google Calendar. Choose whatever works better for you. <img> Keep supplies left at home in a special place. Notebooks, binders, and returned assignments can easily get lost in a pile of clutter when you leave them at home. Prevent this by clearing space on a bookshelf or drawer, and always keep your notebooks in the same place. Put all papers left at home in a special folder for that class, separate from the one in your binder. <img> Color code your other supplies to match your binder. Ideally, you won't need extra notebooks, but some teachers will require you to use them. If they do, make it easy to remember which is which by keeping them color coded. For example, if you keep your math papers after a blue divider in your binder, use a blue notebook and supply case for your math class. <img> " ]

[ "Back up any data you want to keep. Any data left on the hard drive when you dispose of it will be lost forever if you don’t back it up. Spend an hour or two looking through everything on your computer to see if there are any files that you need to save. Here are a few ways you can back up your data:\nPurchase an external hard drive to copy your data to. This will connect to the USB port on your computer and let you copy any files you want to save over. If you want to load them onto a new computer, just plug the hard drive in and copy the files over.\nBack up your files online with a service like Google Drive, iCloud, or Dropbox. All of these should have options for online storage that will give you plenty of room to save your most important files, although some will cost a little money if you have a lot to back up. <img> De-authorize any registered programs. A lot of computer programs will have limits on the number of computers that they can be installed on with a single license. Check Microsoft Office, iTunes, Adobe Creative Suite, and anything similar to deauthorize them on your old laptop.\nTo deauthorize a computer in iTunes, click on “Account” in the top bar and then select “Deauthorize This Computer.”\nIn Adobe products, you should be able to deauthorize your computer by selecting “Help,” “Deactivate,” and “Deactivate Permanently.”\nDifferent programs will take different methods to deauthorize. Take a look online if you’re unsure how to deauthorize any specific program. <img> Destroy any sensitive files. Even though you’ll be completely wiping your hard drive, it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to bank statements, tax documents, or sensitive pictures you have saved. Find a program that will permanently delete your files, rather than just sending them to the recycling bin and leaving traces behind.\nIf you’re on Windows, choose a program such as CCleaner, Eraser, or File Shredder to destroy sensitive files.\nThis functionality is built into most Mac computers. With all of the files you want to delete in the trash can, hold down the command key and click on the trash can icon. Select “Empty Trash Securely” to safely destroy all files in the trash can. <img> Delete your browser history. If you’ve been using the same web browser on your laptop for a while, it likely will have saved a lot of your personal information, passwords, and maybe even bank details. You should wipe all of this information from your computer before disposing of it. Here’s how to do it in a few different browsers:\nIf you’re using Safari, click on the “Safari” tab in the top-left corner of your screen and select “Clear History.” Make sure that “all history” is selected and click the “Clear History” button in the bottom corner of the window that appears.\nIn Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, you can delete your browsing history by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del. Make sure every box is ticked in the window that appears and that the time frame is to delete everything. Click on the delete button in the bottom corner to delete your browsing data. <img> Uninstall all of your programs. Just like your internet browser, many other programs will store your personal data to prevent you from having to type it in over and over again. Take a look through your programs to delete any that will store personal data, or uninstall everything to be extra safe.\nPrograms such as Microsoft Word or Excel may store your full name and address, which you might not want the next owner of your laptop to have.\nIf you have a program installed which lets you make purchases, such as Steam, your credit card information may be stored. <img> Reset your computer and format your hard drive. Once you’ve made sure to save everything you want to keep and delete everything that you don’t off of your laptop, you should perform a system reset to completely wipe your hard drive. Doing a full factory reset and wiping your hard drive can be a difficult process, so make sure you understand how to do so. <img> Remove or destroy your hard drive if you can’t use the computer. If you’re disposing of a computer because it won’t turn on, you won’t be able to easily see what’s on the hard drive. In this instance, you should remove the hard drive from the computer entirely. Here are a few ways to do so on different computers:\nSome older laptops will have hard drives that simply slide out of a port on the side. You may need to flick a switch to release it, but you should be able to grip it firmly and easily pull out your hard drive to remove it.\nThe hard drive may also be hidden behind a plastic panel on the back of the laptop. Look for a long piece of plastic near the side where the laptop opens, usually held in place by a screw. Unscrew any screws holding the panel or hard drive in place to remove it.\nIf you can’t work out how to take your hard drive out of your computer, check your manufacturer’s guidelines or look online for advice specific to the model of your laptop.\nIf you want to keep files that are stored on the hard drive, store it in an anti-static bag. If you take it into a local computer repair store, they may be able to help salvage some of the data left on it.\nIf you don’t need anything on the hard drive, use an electric drill to drill through the drive a few times in different places to completely destroy it. You can then dispose of it with the rest of your laptop. <img> ", "Sell your computer. Even if your old laptop is a little slow or doesn’t seem to work at all, there may be someone out there who wants to buy it. Advertise your laptop for sale online or around your neighborhood, making sure to list any issues with it and any specifications you can work out.\nSome people will purchase old laptops for different parts. For them, it doesn’t matter if the laptop isn’t working, as long as it’s in a good physical condition. <img> Trade in your laptop for cash or gift cards. Many different electronics stores and laptop companies have programs where you can trade in your old technology for a small payment. Look online or ask at your local electronics store to find a trade-in program near you that can give an estimate of how much they will pay for old laptops.\nBest Buy, Apple, and Amazon all have trade-in programs that operate all over the United States.\nMake sure to compare the amounts and payment methods between different programs to get the best deal for your old laptop.\tEXPERT TIP\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpike Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNetwork Engineer & Desktop Support\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpike Baron is the Owner of Spike's Computer Repair based in Los Angeles, California.

Some large cities also have recycling centers that allow for electronics. <img> Donate your old laptop. If your laptop is still in working order, you might be able to donate it to a family or individual in need of their own computer. Look online for local computer-based charities that are looking for donations of laptops to find somewhere to give yours away to. \nThe National Cristina Foundation and the World Computer Exchange are both charities that handle electronics. <img> Take it to an electronics recycler. Many electronics and laptops can have toxic substances in them, such as lead, mercury or cadmium. To try and make disposing of potentially dangerous electronics safe, a lot of places around the world have set up electronics recycling plants. Look online for one near you.\nSome recyclers may require you to drop off your electronics at one of a few places around your local area, where others may offer a pick-up service. Do your research to find the one that will work best for you. <img> Throw it away as a last resort. If there is no other way to dispose of your laptop safely, you can throw it away in your regular garbage. Be aware that this can be very damaging to the environment and should be used as an absolute last option.\nMany states in the U.S. have passed laws requiring all electronics to be disposed of safely by being recycled. Make sure you are not breaking the law if you throw away your laptop. <img> " ]

[ "Understand what drain cleaners do. Chemical drain cleaners or openers usually rely on a strong acid or alkali to do the job. These substances both break down and dissolve the clog, and react with the water to form heat.\nDrain cleaners work best on slow moving drains. They are less effective in clogs with standing water. <img> Stick to using drain cleaners on the right kind of drain. Drain cleaners are not safe for use in toilets, tubs, garbage disposals, or in fixtures with a macerator or grinder pump.\nDrain cleaners are not recommended in houses with a septic system, as they can kill the bacteria inside the tank that help break down waste. <img> Pick what kind of drain cleaner you want to try. Most drain cleaners are either a concentrated \"gel\" or granulated crystals. There are also special types of drain cleaner for special jobs.\nSome products use a two part formula to generate a kind of \"foaming\" action. These are good for removing buildup, but should not be used in a completely blocked drain.\nEnzyme formulas exist, which attack the protein and fat bonds of clogs. These are safer and can be used on toilets and tubs, but are slower and less effective.\nHeavy-duty formulas usually contain 100% pure lye or sulfuric acid. These are effective but can be highly dangerous to the untrained. <img> ", "Follow the safety precautions. Drain cleaners are caustic and can cause harm to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. When using a drain cleaner, wear safety goggles, rubber gloves that extend beyond the wrist, and a face mask or respirator if applicable. <img> Use liquid drain cleaners like this:\nOpen the bottle while grasping the handle. Do not splash or squeeze.\nPour the specified amount into the drain.\nAllow up to 30 minutes for the clog to clear.\nFlush with plenty of hot water. <img> Use these general steps for powder/crystal drain cleaners:\nRemove any standing water.\nAdd 1-3 tablespoons of product into drain.\nAdd one cup of cold water.\nAllow up to 30 minutes for clog to clear.\nFlush with cold water. <img> " ]

[ "Cheat using the console screen. While you’re inside the game, press the tilde (~) key on your keyboard, the left-most key along the number buttons on your keyboard.\nA small black screen/window will appear, covering half of the upper part of your screen. This is the console screen. Here you can type codes that you can use for cheats. <img> Type in the cheat codes you need. There are a lot of cheat codes available over the Internet, from adding simple items in your inventory to making your character immortal. Here are some of the cheat codes you can use:\ntgm—This makes your character completely invulnerable.\nunlock—This instantly unlocks any doors or chests without having to use a lock pick.\npsb—Your character will instantly learn all the spells available.\nplayer.advlevel—This will instantly increase your character’s level.\nshowracemenu—This lets you change the race and appearance of your main character.\nplayer.additem ITEM ###—This adds a specific item and amount to your bag. Replace ITEM with the item code, and ### with the amount of that item you want. Item codes can be obtained from walkthrough sites like http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/.\ntfc—This lets you change the camera’s viewpoint to Skycam, letting you see Skyrim from above, as if you’re flying.\nplayer.setlevel ##—This is just like player.advlevel, but this sets your character to a specific level, either lower or higher from its current level. Replace ## with the level you want.\nkill—This will allow you to kill any non-playable target character.\nkillall—This will kill every non-playable character in the area.\nresurrect—This cheat allows you to resurrect any non-playable character that’s been killed.\nplayer.modav carryweight—This will increase your character’s maximum weight capacity.\nsexchange—This will let you change your character’s gender after creating it.\nThere are several more cheats available online, and players also keep creating more. There are many sites on the Internet, like www.pcgamer.com, that share cheat codes whenever a new one is created or available. <img> Download Skyrim mods. Mods are modified programming structures of the game created by users, not by Bethesda itself. These mods basically add features that are not present in the games itself, like special kinds of hairstyles, armors, weapons, and more. There are many mods available for download over the Internet; just go online and search for them. <img> You can search for a specific one at www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/.\nOnce you’ve downloaded a mod, just install it, and it will be automatically enabled in the game.\nNote that installation methods vary from one mod to another; most mods come with installation manuals so getting it to work on your computer won’t be that complicated. <img> ", "Use the glitches. Skyrim is also available for PS3 and Xbox 360, but unlike Skyrim for the PC, there is no console screen you can use to type in cheat codes. Instead, there are game glitches or secrets that you can use and abuse. These glitches are minor faults during the development of the game that was included in the released version. Here are some known glitches in Skyrim:\nEasy armor level-up—This glitch lets you easily level up your armor. Set the game’s difficulty to Novice and go outside the world. Find a weak enemy and let it attack you while you are healing. The damage you receive will be less than your healing rate. This will help you increase the armor level and Restoration without getting killed.\nQuick Speech skill level—This increases your Speech skill quickly. Fast travel to Riften and look for a male Dark Elf called Ungrien inside the city. Once you find him, talk to him and select “Tell me about Maven Black-Briar” and persuade him (X button for PS3 and A button for Xbox 360). After the first persuasion, the Persuade option will still be available, and you can keep using it to level up your Speech skill quicker.\nUnlimited arrows—Look for any character anywhere in the map that shoots arrows on training dummies. You can usually find one inside towns. Use Pickpocket (crouch behind it and press the interact button prompted in the screen) on that character, take all the arrows in its inventory, and replace it with any amount of the type of arrow you want. That character will keep on shooting arrows, but this time, it’s the type of arrow that you’ve put inside its inventory. Approach the dummy and collect the arrows. <img> Search online for more glitches or secrets. Just like cheat codes, there are tons of glitches available in the Internet, and more new glitches gets discovered every now and then. Visit sites like www.pcgamer.com to keep updated on the latest glitches available for your console. <img> " ]

[ "Look at the course as an opportunity. Many students are discouraged when they are assigned to a remedial class. Some assume this placement means they aren't ready for college. However, being assigned a remedial class doesn't mean that you are behind, just that you have an opportunity to receive better instruction and improve your skills in a subject that you have struggled with in the past.\nThere is nothing unusual about being asked to attend a remedial course: two thirds of community college students take at least one remedial course. At four-year colleges, approximately 40% of students take a remedial course. <img> Find ways to connect with the material. If you can see how the subject relates to the real world or to your personal experiences, it can make it more interesting. Aim to figure out how to make the material applicable to your own life.\nFor instance, if you're taking an English class but want to become a marine biologist, you may not see how the class will help you in the long run. However, part of your job may include reading and writing reports, and strong English skills can help you accomplish these tasks. Don't assume that you are naturally bad in the subject. The number one obstacle to being good at math is the belief that you just don't have the ability to succeed. Many people only develop a mastery of a subject later in life. Perhaps, you believed you were bad in the subject and therefore never tried hard enough. Perhaps, you just didn't have talented teachers.\nOnce you convince yourself that there is nothing wrong with you, it'll be easier to commit to work hard enough to succeed. <img> Remember that it matters. While you might think that math doesn't matter if you want to be an artist, you would be wrong. If you are successful, at some point you will need to price your work and account for your sales. Your career can take you in unexpected directions and you should master all the skills that you can, because you never know which will be useful. <img> Ask for something harder. If the material is so familiar that it is becoming boring and hard to pay attention to, ask you professor if you can be assigned extra credit. Don't tell them that you find the course \"boring\" and don't give the impression that you are above the course. Just indicate that you want to learn more and ask if you can be given something more challenging.\nIf you go above and behind and establish a special relationship with a professor, they might be willing to help you out in the future when applying for jobs. <img> Look to the future. There might be nothing you can do to really get interested in your remedial course. In that case, look ahead to what it means to finish up and pass the class. Remember that to move on to the major courses you want to take, you will need to finish your remedial course first. Think about where you want college to take you in life. Focus on that to muster the energy to get through this obstacle. <img> ", "Get to know the professor. Most professors should hold office hours during which you can get to know them. This can be a good opportunity to build a relationship with the professor and learn about their expectations.\nIf you establish a relationship with your professor, they might be willing to dedicate more time to advising you about how to be successful in the class and in college more generally.\nAsk about the requirements for the course. What sort of time should you expect to spend on assignments? How can you go above and beyond in the class? What qualities do they expect to see in an \"A\" level assignment? <img> Master good study habits. Ultimately, it is important to be able to develop a schedule to complete your work promptly. Make a point of finishing assignments in advance, rather than waiting until the last second. Organize your work, notes, and handouts so that you can find all relevant course materials. <img> Finish assignments on time. Maybe in high school your teachers were lenient when you turned in an assignment late. Don't expect that to be true in college. You might not get any credit for a late assignment and sometimes in college a single assignment can make up a large chunk of your grade. Turning in any assignments late is flirting with failure. <img> Do not fall behind. Sometimes you might be assigned readings that you won't be tested on immediately. Don't assume that you can wait until the final to learn everything you need to know. College classes require that you master much more information than high school classes. You might well find it difficult, if not impossible, to catch up if you fall behind.\nCourse lectures and discussions often follow readings. If you haven't familiarized yourself with the text, the lecture might be unintelligible and you could have missed your one opportunity to understand the subject.\nProfessors can also call on you in class for information. If you don't know the material they will probably subtract points from your participation grades. <img> Write your notes by hand. Research has shown that writing notes by hand forces you to engage with and better remember the lecture than typing notes. Typing notes actually impairs the learning process by encouraging the note taker to mindlessly transcribe information without thinking about what is being said.\nWhile it can be harder to get all of the information in the lecture while hand writing notes, notes are really less important as a point of future reference than they are as a way to actively engage with the lecturer as it happens. Because it is harder to keep up while handwriting notes, the note taker abbreviates the notes and is forced to decide what the most important points are.\nComputers also provide plenty of opportunities for distraction. In the study, however, note takers were not permitted to surf the internet or play games. That means that, even in the best case scenario, typing is a worse way to take notes than handwriting. <img> Join a study group. Study groups can help you understand the material and prepare for exams and projects. However, they are also fun to be a part of! Speak to a few of your classmates to see if they'd be interested in joining a study group. You may want to set aside a few hours a week to review material and prepare for any upcoming assignments or tests with your study group.\nYou can meet in a common area, like the library, or take turns hosting the group at member's homes. You could also take turns bringing snacks. Reach out for help. Colleges typically have much more extensive resources for students in need than were available to you in high school. There should be a tutoring center and possibly a writing center on campus. Other specialized resources might be available for harder classes. Ask your professor about what sort of assistance is available. Search the college website for more information.\nThe professor should also be able to provide some help with problems during office hours, but her time will be limited. Come in with a specific question that you hope to have answered. If you simply announce that you need help, your professor will not know where to begin and might be reticent to help.\nWhen visiting the writing center, have an essay on hand. Someone should review the essay and not only correct mistakes, but also tell you more generally how to improve your writing.\nIf no other options are available, talk to other students in the class about forming a study group to help each other.\nRemember, to improve you need to be willing to accept criticism. Your problem might not be that you can't handle the work, but that you are unwilling to adapt and use better methods. Find someone who is willing to talk honestly about what you need to do and take their comments to heart. <img> Get involved in the campus community. To a greater degree than high school, college isn't just about going to class and taking tests. It's also about meeting people who might be important to your career and getting involved in organizations from which you can learn something. Ultimately, this experience important both in and out of classroom.\nWhile getting involved in a club might seem to distract you from classes, that doesn't need to be true. Being engaged in and enjoying the campus community can make you more invested in and dedicated to your collegiate success. <img> Get a good night's sleep. If you don't get sleep, you will have difficulty concentrating on class and school work. Research has also shown the missing sleep can severely impair your IQ. To be bright in the classroom, you need to make sure that you wake up bright and rested. <img> Eat a balanced breakfast. For energy that will keep you alert throughout the day try to have a hearty breakfast that includes protein like eggs, bacon, or yogurt. Whole grains, like granola or oatmeal can also help sustain you through the day. Don't forget, however, to also get some vitamins in by including fruit in your breakfast. <img> ", "Focus on learning in high school. Some colleges might look to your high school performance when deciding whether you need to take a remedial course. Others will require that you take special tests after you are accepted. In the latter case, you need to be sure that you not only did well in high school, but also retained what you learned.\nTo retain the math you learn in high school, don't focus on memorizing formulas. Instead, try to understand the logic behind the formulas. You might forget the formulas over time, but, if you understand how math works, you can figure out the process on your own. <img> Take 4 years of math. Many high schools only require 3 years of math instruction. However, you are likely to forget much of your math knowledge if you go a full year without studying it. This will leave you unprepared for your placement exam. <img> Study for placement exams. Most four year colleges use scores for the SAT, ACT, or Advanced Placement exams to determine whether or not you need remediation. Community colleges typically used specialized exams like ACCUPLACER or COMPASS. Despite some myths to the contrary, you can study for these exams in advance and improve your score.\nBefore taking an exam, search online for it. Most exams have some practice tests available that you can take. This allows you to familiarize yourself with some of the concepts that will be tested in advance.\nThere are also online courses that you can take to brush up on your math skills prior to an exam. Consider KhanAcademy or IXL.\nACCUPLACER is used by 62% of community colleges and COMPASS is used by 46%. Therefore, almost all community colleges use one of these two exams to determine if you need remedial courses. <img> Familiarize yourself with college requirements. When you know what colleges you are interested in applying to, search online to see what they require to skip remediation and plan your course and test schedule to meet these requirements. To make sure that nothing slips by, visit your high school counselor and ask if you are on track for college. <img> Don't take your senior year off. Many students assume that their senior year is not vital to their success, because they have already passed all the hurdles necessary to get into college. Actually, much of what you do in your senior year will be important to how you are placed once entering into college. Stay on task and see if you can get ahead for college.\nIf possible, take a class at a local community college during your senior year to familiarize yourself with college expectations. <img> Discuss placement with a counselor. If you have been placed in a remedial class and believe it is unnecessary, talk to a counselor at the college about why you received this placement. In some cases, they might be able to help you get out of the course.\nUsually, if you retake and pass the placement exam, you can get out of the remedial course.

[ "Moisturize your skin regularly. Moisturizing your skin will keep your tan looking smooth and natural. Too much sun can dry out your skin, leaving a tan with a cracked or burnt appearance. Use moisturizer each day to maintain a smooth, attractive tan.\nApply any regular moisturizer you use after showering or each time your skin feels dry.\nIn addition to your regular moisturizer, go for after-sun creams like aloe vera. Applying such creams after being out in the sun can help your skin repair, leaving you looking tanned rather than burnt. <img> Avoid waxing. If waxing is your chosen hair removal method, go a different route. Waxing can strip off the top layer of your skin, removing your tan. Instead of waxing, opt for shaving as you try to maintain your tan.\nAs shaving can dry out your skin, always moisturize afterwards. You should also use a moisturizing shaving cream. <img> Wear sunscreen. A tan can go from bronzed to burnt without proper protection from the sun. Each time you go out in the sun, apply sunscreen to any exposed body parts. Use a sunscreen with a high SPF. The higher the SPF, the better protected your skin will be from the sun. Reapply every 2 hours and don't be afraid to do so more often if exposed to water.\nIt can also help to avoid sun exposure by wearing longer sleeves and things like hats and visors. <img> Shower in cool water. When taking your morning shower, avoid the hot water. Hot water can strip oils from your body, lessening your tan. When showering, opt for cooler water to keep your tan longer.\nAlso, use moisturizing body washes in the shower to avoid stripping your skin of oils needed to maintain a tan. <img> ", "Use self-tanner on your face. Your face is generally the first thing people notice. A fading facial tan will be immediately noticeable, so use self-tanner to fix up any fading. Purchase a self-tanner designed for your face and apply it regularly to keep your tan noticeable.\nGo for gradual tanners, as these tend to look more natural. <img> Wear bronzer. A little bronzer on your face can also help your tan last longer. Apply the bronzer on areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the forehead, temples, nose, and cheekbones. This will highlight your natural tan, preventing the product from looking fake.\nApply enough bronzer to give your skin a natural glow. Too much bronzer can be overwhelming and make your tan look fake. You want to recreate your natural tan rather than replace it altogether. <img> Patch up your tan with spray-on tan. Unless you have access to the sun all the time, your tan will eventually start to fade. As your tan fades, patch it up with spray-on tan. If your tan starts to lighten or darken, spray some fake tan on patchy areas to even things out. <img> Use pills. Over-the-counter pills that are designed to protect skin, such as Phytobronz Skin Protect, may help you maintain a tan. Such pills help replenish oils in your skin that are lost during the tanning process. If you're concerned about maintaining your tan, try taking some medication.\nHowever, some over-the-counter pills are not FDA regulated. Always check with your doctor before taking any new medications. <img> ", "Wear white. White clothing creates contrast between your skin and clothing. To make your tan more apparent, wear white clothing as it starts to fade. This will create the illusion that your tan is stronger than it is.\nIf white is not your color, any lighter shades will do. <img> Eat more beta-carotenes. Beta-carotenes are found in foods with a red-orange pigment like sweet potatoes, carrots, apricots, and mangoes. Beta-carotenes can subtly change the color of your skin, helping you maintain your sun-kissed look longer. <img> Eat foods with tyrosine. Certain foods contain an ingredient called tyrosine that can help you maintain tanned skin longer. The following foods are rich in tyrosine:\nTurkey\nCottage cheese\nAvocado\nEgg white\nSalmon\nAlmonds <img> Stay hydrated. Extra water intake can help your tan stick around longer. Seek to drink extra water to maintain your tan. Drink a glass of water with each meal, stop at water fountains whenever possible, and carry a water bottle with you at all times. <img> " ]

[ "Decide on what type of bridge you want to build. Follow a common bridge design style, like a beam or truss design—or come up with your own.\nA truss bridge uses horizontal and diagonal pieces to create sturdy structures for each side of the bridge. This is the most common and popular style of model bridge to build.\nA beam bridge is a simple structure that uses a horizontal beam placed across an empty space, sometimes with supporting “legs” underneath it.\nYou might choose a design based on what you’ll use the bridge for. Does it need to hold weight? Does it need to span a certain length of space in a model display or other project? Note that wooden skewers are better suited to a design with straight lines rather than an arch design. <img> Sketch out your design on paper. Use a pencil and paper to sketch out the design of your bridge, which will help you determine the scope of the project and how many skewers you will need. Or, design your bridge using a computer program or mobile app.\nYou may also find ready-made designs or templates for a model bridge online or in a simple engineering book.\nUse graph paper to assist you in making easy measurements and drawing straight lines. If you don’t have graph paper, use a ruler to help create the lines.\nDraw your bridge design to scale (meaning with the same lengths you will use for the actual skewers) so that you can easily lay your skewers across your design to prepare for assembly later. If using digital software, print out your design to do this if possible.\nTry drawing or virtually designing your bridge design from a couple different angles to help you visualize each part of it. You can create a side view as well as an end view of the bridge. <img> Layout your skewers and cut them to size. Place your wooden skewers out on top of your sketch to find the lengths you’ll need. Cut any of the skewers down to size using craft shears or a craft knife.\nNote that you may have to use several skewers attached together for longer sections, or to add strength to any given piece. Plan to have a large quantity of skewers to be prepared.\nIf you don’t have access to craft shears or another tool that is sharp and durable enough to safely cut through the wooden skewers, you can use a pair of regular scissors to score a skewer where you want to cut it and then break it by hand along the score.\nBe careful of the sharp ends of skewers, especially if they fly out when cut. Avert your eyes away from the skewers when cutting, or wear safety goggles. <img> Choose glue or string for assembly. Decide if you’d like to use wood glue or string to connect the skewers for your bridge design.\nIf you use glue, make sure it is wood glue that will dry clear if you don’t want it to show. Apply glue to skewers in small dots to avoid excess glue oozing out when you press skewers together. Try using a q-tip or toothpick to help apply small amounts of glue.\nIf you use string, make sure you have enough to wrap around each joint where skewers connect in your design. Note that you may also want or need wood glue to increase strength or make it easier to hold skewers together before wrapping with string. <img> ", "Build trusses first. Lay out the skewers for one truss (the support “wall” on either side of the bridge) flat on a table or other sturdy surface. You will need at least two skewers for the top and bottom “cords,” which are the horizontal pieces, and at least four for the diagonal “braces” that connect top and bottom cords.\nForm triangles with the brace pieces by placing them at alternating angles, with each point connecting to the top or bottom cord. The number and exact positioning you use will depend on your specific design.\nFor this and other parts of your bridge design, you may want to glue or tie several skewers together for each section to strengthen it. You can hold skewers together with binder clips to strengthen the bind if you are using glue to attach them.\nRemember that you need to construct two trusses for your bridge. Once you’ve laid out the pieces for the first truss, do the same with another set of skewers for the other side of the bridge.\nIf you are building a simple beam bridge, you will not need trusses and can skip this step. <img> Glue or tie truss skewers together. Use glue or string to attach each skewer you’ve laid out for one truss. Apply glue or string at every point where one skewer or bunch of skewers meets another.\nOnce you are done with all the pieces of one truss, glue or tie the pieces of the second truss. Leave the two trusses laying separate from each other and flat on the table for now.\nIf you’re using glue, you may want to let it dry overnight or for several hours after application, especially if you plan to have your bridge hold weight.\nIf you are building a simple beam bridge, you will not need trusses and can skip this step. <img> Construct the bridge deck. Build the deck where one would walk or drive a vehicle on a full-size bridge. Lay out at least two horizontal pieces as deck beams that will connect the two trusses together at the bottom of either end.\nIt may help to add several deck beams that connect the two trusses to lend support. You can connect these at the same place where each brace attaches to the bottom cord. For now, simply lay them down between your two assembled trusses to prepare for assembly.\nOnce you have at least two deck beams in place, you can fill in between the beams entirely with skewers to make one even, flat surface. Or, you can later make a more solid deck out of a piece of cardboard, wood, or other flat material if you like.\nIf you’re using glue to connect pieces of the deck, allow it to dry for several hours or overnight, especially if you plan for the bridge to hold weight. <img> Assemble the trusses and deck. Gently tape or temporarily fasten each assembled truss to an object with a flat, vertical side (like boxes or books) to help keep the trusses upright and perpendicular to the table. Then glue or tie your deck skewers to the trusses before removing the boxes or books.\nFor best results, wait till glue fully dries if you’re using it to connect your bridge structures. Then leave the completed structure to dry for several more hours or overnight.\nIf your bridge design includes top beams, connect them across the two top cords of your trusses once you have connected them to the deck. Your design does not need top beams, but they may help hold the structure together with more stability. <img> ", "Use your bridge to test weight capacity. Try testing the weight that your bridge model will hold, either for fun or a competition. You can either place objects or weights directly on the bridge deck or suspended underneath it with a load bucket.\nMake sure the two ends of your bridge are balanced across two stable surfaces to test its ability to hold weight.\nIf you want to use a load bucket to test weight, try attaching a film canister below your bridge with a piece of string and a paper clip. Then fill the canister with metal washers, coins, or other weights one by one until the bridge can no longer sustain the weight and breaks. <img> Make your bridge stable for use with small vehicles. Send small battery cars, trains, or other model vehicles across your bridge deck as part of a larger course or just for fun on its own.\nYou may want to reinforce or make sure your bridge deck has a smooth, complete surface that your vehicle can drive up and over.\nSecure the bridge to whatever surface or surfaces you want to have it on so that it stays put for use with your model vehicles. <img> Display your bridge in a model display. Add your bridge to a larger model display or village in any way you wish.\nTry painting your bridge to match other pieces of your display or make it more authentic. Use paint with a small paintbrush or spray on spray paint to easily add color to your model.\nDisplay figurines or model vehicles on the deck of your bridge by gluing them in place or simply setting them on the surface. You may want to design your bridge to fit the scale of other model structures or figurines ahead of time if you plan to display it this way.\nAdd other decorative elements to your bridge if you wish with string, metal ornaments, wood, or other items to make your bridge more realistic, colorful, or fitting with any theme you have for your display. <img> " ]

[ "See if there is a local web page devoted to property records. Many city and county governments describe their policies regarding blueprints online. You can find this information by searching for the name of your locale along with the words “property records” or “home records”.\nThe site will likely have a section about blueprints or building plans. If the webpage does not list any information about blueprints, try to locate the phone number for the city or county clerk’s office.\nHaving the city or county clerk's phone number will allow you to ask about blueprints, as well as inquire about the property record that lists the builder of your home. <img> Call your local clerk’s office to ask about architectural documents. They will know whether the plans have been archived or destroyed. If they do hold onto residential blueprints, there are likely administrative fees associated with obtaining a copy.\nIn many places, the city or county will not have the blueprint on file, so be prepared to move on to contacting the agency that built your home.\nIn Los Angeles County, for example, building plans are only kept for 90 days following the completion of a building project. <img> Ask the clerk’s office to share the name of your home’s builder. The property records for your home will almost certainly include details about what firm or firms designed and built your home. Accessing this information will allow you to contact them and request the documents.\nIf the clerk's office does not have this information, your mortgage company, real estate agent, or the city's zoning office may have it. <img> ", "Locate the phone number for the builder of your home. A quick web search should reveal whether the firm is still in business, as well as how best to contact them. Typically, this will be an architectural firm, a contracting firm, or a development company.\nIf the builder of your home is no longer in business, you will most likely have to commission a contracting firm to draw a set of plans of your home, depicting the building as it currently exists, called “As Built” plans. <img> Call the office of your home’s builder to ask about blueprints. They will need your address and at least a rough estimate of the construction date of your home, as well as whatever documentation local law requires. <img> Request the blueprints if they are available. You will most likely have to submit a paper request and wait for the plans to be processed and retrieved. A local firm may ask you to pick them up, but a national company may simply mail a copy of the plans to you.\nA recently built home is almost guaranteed to have a set of digital blueprints which can be sent to you via email.\nIf you had success asking the firm that built your home for a set of blueprints, they may ask for a fee to share them with you. This practice is more common if you requested the plans from an architectural firm rather than a building company. <img> ", "Find a local firm that draws up plans “As Built”. This information will most likely be listed online, but it is a good idea to confirm with a phone call. As Built plans are blueprints depicting your house as it was built, including any renovations and work done since the initial construction.\nAs Built plans are often the best chance you will have to obtain a set of complete or partial blueprints of your home.\nContractors may be cheaper than architects, but architects may produce more detailed plans.\nIf you are planning to begin a project as soon as you have the plans, a contracting firm will likely also be able to give you a quote on the project. <img> Commission plans for your home, or part of your home. The contractor or architect will measure and locate major structural details of the area you have commissioned and either model it in drafting software or draw a 2D scale of the area on architectural paper.\nThe price of these plans may be high, with a common rate being roughly $0.50 USD per 1 square foot (0.093 m), but it is typically more cost effective than attempting a large scale project without proper documentation of your home's structure.\nIf you only need a particular section of your home to be drawn up in blueprint form, you will save the time and money it would take for a contracting firm to do a commission of the entire building. <img> Draw a plan of your own if “As Built” plans are too costly. It is possible to draw a simple floorplan or blueprint of a section of the house yourself, particularly if you are only planning on doing a minor remodeling project. You will measure all of the walls and fixtures and use grid paper to scale them. \nBe sure to include the thickness of walls and insulation in a blueprint, as well as electrical outlets and estimates of the location of major pipes and wires. You can use a stud finder to locate beams in the walls if necessary.\nDrawing your own plans by hand is tricky, and requires a great deal of precision. Be careful that you accurately depict your home's structure in the blueprints. <img> " ]

This method requires laying on the ground, folding your arms to your chest in an 'X' and rolling rapidly from side to side.\nWrapping yourself in a thick coat or blanket will also help you extinguish the flames.\nYou could also pour a large bucket of water over yourself to put out the fire.\nIf you were burned by contact with hot metal, plastic, or coal, remove the heated object as soon as possible without touching it. <img> ", "The burned area may start to swell. If you burn is covered by or located near rings, bracelets, and other jewelry, remove them to prevent constriction when the area swells. Clothing, including belts, should likewise be removed (especially in cases of major burns) so that the burned area can be seen and evaluated, as well as to minimize constrictive swelling.\nBe gentle when removing jewelry and clothes.\nDo not remove burned clothing if it is stuck to the skin. <img> ", "Use cool (but not cold) water. For minor burns, fill a sink or tub with cool water and keep the burned area of your skin in the water for at least five minutes, or until the burn is no longer very painful. If a sink is not available, run cool water over the burn for at least five minutes, or until the burn is no longer very painful.\nDepending on the burn, it might take as long as 15 to 20 minutes for the pain to subside.\nDo not use ice on a burn.\nDo not immerse large, major burns in cold water. This could cause hypothermia or shock. <img> ", "Rinse the area gently with mild soap and cool water. Be very gentle and pat the burn dry with gauze or a clean cloth. Apply a thin layer of triple antibiotic ointment over the burn.\nBefore cleaning your burn, wash your hands with soap and water.\nDo not pop or scrape away blisters. <img> ", "Use an absorptive dressing like gauze. After this early period, the burn will exude less pus and you should switch the dressing to a nonadhesive type that is water and air-tight. Polyurethane film or hydrocolloid dressings are good choices at this stage.\nChange your dressings once every 48 hours.\nIf the site of the burn weeps some fluid, don't worry. This is normal; however, if your burn exudes green, white, or yellowish liquid, or becomes increasingly swollen or red, it has become infected and you should consult a doctor. <img> ", "Second-degree burns are characterized by swelling, pain, and blisters. Second-degree burns are more serious than first-degree burns but less serious than third-degree burns. They may produce white or splotchy skin.\nFirst-degree burns cause redness, pain, and swelling.\nSecond-degree burns extend more deeply into the skin than first-degree burns. They result in blisters that reveal pink, moist, and painful flesh when removed. If your second-degree burn is deep, it will probably be dry, not moist, and not terribly painful. If it is deep and dry, you might not be able to determine whether it's a third-degree or second-degree burn.\nThird-degree burns will often cause no pain at all the nerves have been damaged. They involve all layers of the skin, including body fat. The burned skin might appear black or white, and will be dry, possibly with a leathery appearance. Bone and muscle might be burned as well. Victims of third-degree burns might have difficulty breathing or go into shock. <img> ", "Check how much skin the burn covers. Second-degree burns are minor if they are less than three inches wide. They are major if they are larger than three inches, or are located on the hands, feet, face, groin, major joints, or butt.\nIf you have burns on your face, feet, genitals, or hands, consult a medical professional immediately.\nIf you're unsure of the severity of your burn, err on the side of caution and treat it as a major burn. <img> ", "The depth can affect how the burn is treated. Second-degree burns are classified as either partial or full thickness. Partial thickness (or superficial) burns are often wet in appearance, can be extremely painful, and involve damage to the upper layers of the dermis. Full thickness burns appear dry and are usually less painful, as they involve most of the dermis and may cause nerve damage. Partial thickness second-degree burns can usually be treated successfully at home. A full thickness burn, however, will most likely need excision and skin grafting to heal and should be seen by a doctor immediately. <img> ", "Most second-degree burns can be taken care of at home. However, minor burns can only be treated if the skin is unbroken. All major burns must be referred to a physician. Furthermore, even if a burn appears minor, it might require serious care if it is particularly deep or in a sensitive location like the hands, face, feet, or genitals.\nIf you have any doubts about the extent and severity of your burn, consult your doctor for advice and treatment. <img> ", "Try to avoid making contact with the burn. Avoid placing pressure on the burn, and do not scrape the affected skin. If the burn is on your arm, for instance, try to use your opposite arm and wear short-sleeved shirts. If the burn is major, raise the burned area above the level of your heart. This may require laying down and, for instance, propping a burned leg up with pillows. <img> ", "OTC meds can help alleviate mild discomfort. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen are over-the-counter medications that can help relieve pain and swelling.\nDo not give aspirin to children younger than 12 years old.\nApply lotion to the burn. Aloe vera lotion or gel can provide pain relief and reduce swelling. <img> ", "Tetanus is commonly associated with burns. This bacterial infection, also known as lockjaw, can lead to painful muscular contractions in the jaw and neck. Even minor burn injuries require a tetanus shot if you have not had one in the past ten years. <img> ", "See your doctor if your burn doesn't improve. If you still have pain with a minor burn after 48 hours, contact your doctor. If the burn has not healed within three weeks, you should also consult a medical professional. <img> " ]

[ "State uncertainty in its proper form. Let's say you're measuring a stick that falls near 4.2 cm, give or take one millimeter. This means that you know the stick falls almost on 4.2 cm, but that it could actually be just a bit smaller or larger than that measurement, with the error of one millimeter.\nState the uncertainty like this: 4.2 cm ± 0.1 cm. You can also rewrite this as 4.2 cm ± 1 mm, since 0.1 cm = 1 mm. <img> Always round the experimental measurement to the same decimal place as the uncertainty. Measurements that involve a calculation of uncertainty are typically rounded to one or two significant digits. The most important point is that you should round your experimental measurement to the same decimal place as the uncertainty to keep your measurements consistent.\nIf your experimental measurement is 60 cm, then your uncertainty calculation should be rounded to a whole number as well. For example, the uncertainty for this measurement can be 60 cm ± 2 cm, but not 60 cm ± 2.2 cm.\nIf your experimental measurement is 3.4 cm, then your uncertainty calculation should be rounded to .1 cm. For example, the uncertainty for this measurement can be 3.4 cm ± .1 cm, but not 3.4 cm ± 1 cm. <img> Calculate uncertainty from a single measurement. Let's say you're measuring the diameter of a round ball with a ruler. This is tricky because it'll be difficult to say exactly where the outer edges of the ball line up with the ruler since they are curved, not straight. Let's say the ruler can find the measurement to the nearest .1 cm -- this does not mean that you can measure the diameter to this level of precision.\nStudy the edges of the ball and the ruler to get a sense of how reliably you can measure its diameter. In a standard ruler, the markings at .5 cm show up clearly -- but let's say you can get a little bit closer than that. If it looks like you can get about within .3 cm of an accurate measurement, then your uncertainty is .3 cm.\nNow, measure the diameter of the ball. Let's say you get about 7.6 cm. Just state the estimated measurement along with the uncertainty. The diameter of the ball is 7.6 cm ± .3 cm. <img> Calculate uncertainty of a single measurement of multiple objects. Let's say you're measuring a stack of 10 CD cases that are all the same length. Let's say you want to find the measurement of the thickness of just one CD case. This measurement will be so small that your percentage of uncertainty will be a bit high. But when you measure 10 CD cases stacked together, you can just divide the result and its uncertainty by the number of CD cases to find the thickness of one CD case.\nLet's say that you can't get much closer than to .2 cm of measurements by using a ruler. So, your uncertainty is ± .2 cm.\nLet's say you measured that all of the CD cases stacked together are of a thickness of 22 cm.\nNow, just divide the measurement and uncertainty by 10, the number of CD cases. 22 cm/10 = 2.2 cm and .2 cm/10 = .02 cm. This means that the thickness of one CD case is 2.20 cm ± .02 cm. <img> Take your measurements multiple times. To increase the certainty of your measurements, whether you're measuring the length of on object or the amount of time it takes for an object to cross a certain distance, you'll be increasing your chances of getting an accurate measurement if you take several measurements. Finding the average of your multiple measurements will help you get a more accurate picture of the measurement while calculating the uncertainty. <img> ", "Take several measurements. Let's say you want to calculate how long it takes a ball to drop to the floor from the height of a table. To get the best results, you'll have to measure the ball falling off the table top at least a few times -- let's say five. Then, you'll have to find the average of the five measured times and then add or subtract the standard deviation from that number to get the best results.\nLet's say you measured the five following times: 0.43 s, 0.52 s, 0.35 s, 0.29 s, and 0.49 s. <img> Find the average of the measurements. Now, find the average by adding up the five different measurements and dividing the result by 5, the amount of measurements. 0.43 s + 0.52 s + 0.35 s + 0.29 s + 0.49 s = 2.08 s. Now, divide 2.08 by 5. 2.08/5 = 0.42 s. The average time is 0.42 s. <img> Find the variance of these measurements. To do this, first, find the difference between each of the five measurements and the average. To do this, just subtract the measurement from 0.42 s. Here are the five differences:\n0.43 s - .42 s = 0.01 s\n0.52 s - 0.42 s = 0.1 s\n0.35 s - 0.42 s = -0.07 s\n0.29 s - 0.42 s = -0.13 s\n0.49 s - 0.42 s = 0.07 s\nNow, add up the squares of these differences: (0.01 s) + (0.1 s) + (-0.07 s) + (-0.13 s) + (0.07 s) = 0.037 s.\nFind the average of these added squares by dividing the result by 5. 0.037 s/5 = 0.0074 s. <img> Find the standard deviation. To find the standard deviation, simply find the square root of the variance. The square root of 0.0074 s = 0.09 s, so the standard deviation is 0.09 s. <img> State the final measurement. To do this, simply state the average of the measurements along with the added and subtracted standard deviation. Since the average of the measurements is .42 s and the standard deviation is .09 s, the final measurement is .42 s ± .09 s. <img> ", "Add uncertain measurements. To add uncertain measurements, simply add the measurements and add their uncertainties:\n(5 cm ± .2 cm) + (3 cm ± .1 cm) =\n(5 cm + 3 cm) ± (.2 cm +. 1 cm) =\n8 cm ± .3 cm <img> Subtract uncertain measurements. To subtract uncertain measurements, simply subtract the measurements while still adding their uncertainties:\n(10 cm ± .4 cm) - (3 cm ± .2 cm) =\n(10 cm - 3 cm) ± (.4 cm +. 2 cm) =\n7 cm ± .6 cm <img> Multiply uncertain measurements. To multiply uncertain measurements, simply multiply the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties (as a percentage): Calculating uncertainties with multiplication does not work with absolute values (like we had in addition and subtraction), but with relative ones. You get the relative uncertainty by dividing the absolute uncertainty with a measured value and multiplying by 100 to get percentage. For example:\n(6 cm ± .2 cm) = (.2 / 6) x 100 and add a % sign. That is 3.3 % Therefore:\n(6 cm ± .2 cm) x (4 cm ± .3 cm) = (6 cm ± 3.3% ) x (4 cm ± 7.5%)\n(6 cm x 4 cm) ± (3.3 + 7.5) =\n24 cm ± 10.8 % = 24 cm ± 2.6 cm <img> Divide uncertain measurements. To divide uncertain measurements, simply divide the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties:The process is the same as in multiplication!\n(10 cm ± .6 cm) ÷ (5 cm ± .2 cm) = (10 cm ± 6%) ÷ (5 cm ± 4%)\n(10 cm ÷ 5 cm) ± (6% + 4%) =\n2 cm ± 10% = 2 cm ± 0.2 cm <img> Increase an uncertain measurement exponentially. To increase an uncertain measurement exponentially, simply raise the measurement to the designated power, and then multiply the relative uncertainty by that power:\n(2.0 cm ± 1.0 cm) =\n(2.0 cm) ± (50%) x 3 =\n8.0 cm ± 150 % or 8.0 cm ±12 cm <img> " ]

[ "Think about positive events when it’s time to go to bed. When you’re about to sleep, you might get homesick and miss your bed. Avoid thoughts about home by focusing on how fun it was to spend the entire night with your friends.\nThink about the new people you’ve met tonight, the different foods or snacks you ate, the games you played, or the movie you watched with your friends.\nRe-imagine and appreciate the enjoyable moments of your night, such as that joke you and your friends laughed at together, or the delicious chocolate cake you had a slice of. <img> Focus on your breathing when you’re lying in bed. It’s often hard to avoid negative thoughts, especially those about homesickness, before sleeping. If thinking about the positive aspects of your day proves useless, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Bring your focus back to it every time you get distracted by thoughts of home or anything else.\nCount your breaths up to 20, and start over. Try to relax your body parts, focusing on your hands, legs, head, or chest—one at a time.\nYou can also think of an image, such as a huge ball of light in your favorite color, or a treasure box where you can lock up all of your worries. Keep thinking of that image until you feel more relaxed and sleepy. <img> Talk to the other kids if they are also awake. There is nothing embarrassing about being homesick; most kids go through the same thing at first! If you cannot fall asleep and feel homesick, talk to one or more of the other kids about how you’re feeling, and ask if they’ve ever experienced this before.\nThey may be able to comfort you or understand your situation. They may even feel the same way at other sleepovers.\nSharing your feelings with them will bring you all closer and strengthen your friendship. <img> Read until you fall asleep. Try reading your book until you get sleepy. Reading can help you relax, as well as distract you from thinking about your homesickness. Instead of thinking about home, concentrate on the adventures the characters are going through, and make use of this time to make progress in your book! <img> Ask if you can turn on the TV if you still can't fall asleep. If there is a TV in the room that you’re sleeping in, ask the other kids in the room if you can turn it on. If they are comfortable with it, try to distract yourself by watching entertaining shows or movies on TV.\nKeep the volume very low so that you don’t wake up anyone in the house. <img> Listen to calming music if you have a phone or music player. If you brought a phone, iPod, or iPad, as well as earphones, try listening to soothing music, such as a soft song or nature sounds. This might help you relax and fall asleep.\nDon’t forget to put on earphones in order not to bother anyone. <img> Think about what you're going to do the next day. If you cannot fall asleep despite your efforts, lie down in bed and reflect on the next day instead. Plan your day and get excited. Don’t forget that the morning will arrive soon! <img> Call your parents if you can’t get over your homesickness. If you have a phone with you, call your parents to say goodnight. Hearing their voice might give you reassurance, and their advice may make you feel safe.\nWhen your parents pick up, tell them, “I just wanted to call and say goodnight, since this is my first night away from home,” or “I felt a bit homesick and wanted to hear your voice.”\nIf you can’t bear the homesickness, you can wake up your parents or your friend’s parents anytime, but it’s best to talk to them before they go to sleep. Otherwise, you might feel bad for alarming people in the middle of the night. <img> Ask your parents to pick you up if you really can’t stay at the sleepover. After trying different methods, if you still feel sad or uncomfortable sleeping at your friend’s house, call home and ask your parents or guardians if they can pick you up. Don’t blame yourself; you may not be quite ready for a sleepover yet, and that is okay.\nMake sure you talk to your friend’s parents first, and let them know the situation.\nIf you don’t have a phone, ask your friend’s parents to call your family to pick you up. <img> ", "Bring comforts like a pillow, blanket, or stuffed animal from home. Pack a backpack with everything you need, and make sure to add in a few things that will make you feel at home. It can be your pillow or blanket to help you feel as though you are in your own bed. It can also be your favorite stuffed animal, doll, or lucky charm to make you feel safe and at ease. <img> Take comfortable clothes with you to sleep in. Feeling comfortable in what you’re wearing is important, especially when you’re at someone else’s house, and can help you feel as relaxed as you are at home. Remember to bring a pair of pajamas or nightclothes you’re comfortable wearing around other people that you may not know.\nSomething that has tops and bottoms is a safe bet. You can also bring a robe.\nIf you’re shy about getting dressed in front of your friends, ask to use the bathroom and change there. <img> Bring a book or iPod in case you need to pass the time. You might not be able to fall asleep because you miss home, so take a book or an iPod with you. If you enjoy magazines instead, take them. You should have a few things that will keep you entertained to battle homesickness during the sleepover. <img> Pack enough so you don't have to borrow anything. Although it is totally okay to borrow clothes or hygiene materials by asking your friend or their parents, it’s always nice to be prepared and bring your own stuff. This will prevent you from missing your belongings since the essential ones will be with you.\nIf you’re staying over for more than one night, bring enough changes of clothes and underwear.\nIf you’ll need to shower, bring your shampoo and conditioner.\nDon’t forget your toothbrush and toothpaste! <img> ", "Spend time with your friends during a sleepover party. Remember that you’re here to have a good time with your friends. If there are a lot of kids, you might feel out of place at first, but remember why you came, and join your friends in whatever they are doing! <img> Suggest playing games or doing your hair together. If your friends are not doing anything or just playing with their phones, suggest playing a game together, like charades, card games, or a board game. You could also do your hair together or watch a movie.\nBeing alone or not doing anything fun can make you more homesick, so try busying yourself with activities while bonding with your friends! <img> Keep an open mind. Every house runs a little differently, and your friend’s routine may be different than yours, which might make you miss home even more. In your friend’s house, there can be chores before bedtime, helping with siblings in the morning before school, or going to the church. Even if some of these might be new to you, try to go with the flow and follow your friend’s example, instead of comparing it with your family’s routine. <img> Remember that you’ll be home soon! Try to forget that you’re in a different place and that your family isn’t there. Imagine they are in the next room. Close your eyes and envision yourself lying on your bed and not on someone else’s.\nDon’t forget that you’re at the sleepover to have a good time, and your home is not going anywhere! <img> Ask your parents to speak to your friend’s parents before the next sleepover. Next time you’re invited to a sleepover, let your parents and your friend’s parents know that you are new to sleepovers and may not make it through the night. This will give them a chance to coordinate a plan in case you get homesick.\nYou shouldn't hide this or lie about it—parents are often understanding since many kids get homesick, and they can help you with it. Knowing you aren't stuck and that there is a Plan B should help you relax.\nIf you feel comfortable, you can talk to your friend’s parents yourself instead.\nThis way, your friend’s parents will also know to look out for you, and may even ask if you'd like to go home before everyone turns in for bed. It's better to tell them upfront than to wake the whole house to leave at 3 am. <img> " ]

[ "Wear appropriate clothing. It has to be loose and flexible. If you wear anything too tight, then you risk it being ripped. Tight clothing can also prevent you from doing the side splits completely. <img> Warm up. Spend 10 to 15 minutes doing light activity and get your blood going by doing jumping jacks, jogging, squats, and lunges. You want to get your blood flowing and loosen up your muscles.\nCombine both cardiovascular and dynamic exercises to warm up. Start with an exercise like jumping jacks, then follow with a lunge. Cardiovascular exercises also burn excess fat and calories.\nRun on the spot or dance for at least 5 minutes to warm up. <img> Do stretches. Do lower back and inner thigh stretches for 10 or so minutes.\nButterfly stretch. This stretch is mainly useful for box splits, although it increases all round leg flexibility. Sit on the floor and push your feet inwards, using your elbows to push your knees down.\nPike stretch. Do this standing up and sitting down. Stand straight and touch your toes for as long as you can, keeping your legs completely vertical.\nNote that the older you are, the more difficult it is to stretch. This is because your body dehydrates as it gets older, causing the lubricants between your tissues to decrease. This means that it will take longer for you to do the splits. It doesn't mean that you can't do it though; take it slowly. <img> ", "Position yourself. Go into a kneeling position while keeping your back straight. Put the leg of your choice in front of you. Straighten the front leg as much as possible. Rest your back leg on its shin. <img> Breathe properly. Holding your breath as your stretch tightens your muscles, which makes it more difficult to perform the side splits. Breath deeply, but do not exaggerate your breathes. You want to make your breaths as natural as possible.\nInhale when you are holding the stretch. Exhale when you lean into the stretch. <img> Go slowly. If you lower yourself into the split too fast, then you can seriously injure yourself. Find a speed that works for you.. Always ease yourself slowly into the splits.\nBy going slowly, you avoid injuries. Not only will injuries prevent you from doing the stretch immediately, it can potentially prevent you from practicing for a long time.\nIt’s more important to practice consistently than to attempt to do the splits fast <img> Lower yourself. Once you are warmed up and feel relaxed, start to lower yourself very carefully. Continue going down until you feel pain or discomfort. Once you feel any major discomfort, other than the minor pain that comes from stretching, stop.\nAs you lower yourself, keep your hands to your side so that you can support your body weight.\nIf you feel pain after you are done with the side splits, then you forced yourself too hard into the stretch. Wait until the pain is completely gone before attempting the stretch again. <img> Continue lowering yourself on the floor. Once your pelvis is on the floor, and your legs are at a 180-degree angle, you have achieved a side split.\nDo not bounce yourself into the side split as this could injure you. <img> Hold the position. Once you have achieved the split, hold it for as long as you can. Start setting time limits. Try to hold it for 15 seconds, then 30 seconds. Try to work your way to a minute.\nRemember to always do the splits comfortably. Do not hold the position if you feel any major discomfort.\nStraddle stretch (if wished): get into a straddle and try to touch your nose to each knee and then to the floor. Sit with one leg behind you and one leg tucked underneath you. Sit like this for a while. <img> Come out of the splits slowly. Ease out of the stretch comfortably and gently. If you get up too quickly, you risk injuring yourself. Breath steadily as you come out and relax as much as possible.\nCool down. Cool down by walking for 5 minutes or doing a few gentle stretches. Don't forget to cool down, or you will regret it the next day when you ache. <img> Practice often. Practice every day unless you are sore. Try to do small sessions 2 to 3 times a day. Find the best routine for your body. If you find that you get sore consistently, try doing light practices one day and heavier practices the day after that. <img> ", "Drink water. Hydrate your body as much as possible. Your joints and muscles need water to be flexible. If you are dehydrated, then that means your body will be much tighter and prone to cramps and spasms. <img> Cut down or quit caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant that prevents your body from relaxing. It tenses your muscles, which makes it more difficult to perform the side splits. Some studies also suggest caffeine causes muscle inflammation.\nCut down on food with high amounts of hydrogenated oil, sugar, and trans-fats can also help in reducing inflammation. <img> Stretch while doing other activities. Give yourself distractions to take your mind off the discomfort while your practice the splits. For instance, while watching television, practice stretching. Be careful not to let your mind get too distracted and overstretch. <img> Take a hot bath or shower. Make sure it lasts at least fifteen minutes. This will help loosen and relax your muscles. Additionally, a hot bath or shower will increase your heart rate and core temperature. <img> Use a foam roller. Foam rollers help to relax and stretch muscles. The roller can be used to apply static pressure to sore or sensitive areas. For example, if your hamstring is sore, you roll back and forth on top of the roller for 10 to 15 seconds at a time. <img> " ]

[ "Consider why you want to be a farmer. Farming is hard work, and requires a lot of knowledge and upfront investment. You have to be part entrepreneur, part small business owner, part scientist, and part manual laborer. Even if you do everything right, farming is unpredictable: natural disasters such as floods or drought can wipe out crops, pests can decimate your harvest, and the price of crops can vary dramatically.\nFarming often requires a far greater time investment even than a full-time 9-to-5 job. Unless you want only a very tiny farm or large garden as a hobby, farming will have to become your life. <img> Think about your priorities. Ask yourself some questions about what you want your life to look like. What goals do you have for yourself? Are they concrete, such as a certain annual income or time with your family? Are they more abstract, such as a certain quality of life or a feeling of satisfaction?\nConsider what you are willing to sacrifice and what you are not. What do you need to achieve your goals, and what are you willing to do to achieve them? <img> Decide whether your personality is a good fit for farming. Farming can offer you a life of independence and connection to your land, but it is also a huge responsibility. Knowing how you’re likely to respond to situations that may arise will help you decide if farming is right for you.\nAre you comfortable being solely responsible for a large operation? The success of many small farms hinges entirely on their owner(s). As a farmer, you’re in charge of all the day-to-day operations as well as long-term planning. You will have to make many decisions where the fate of your farm may hang in the balance.\nAre you able to accept uncertainty and variability in your life? A farmer’s life is full of uncertainty, and the possibility for failure is high. Even good years may see you operating at a break-even level and no more. Due to the hardships of farming, the number of farmers in America is expected to decline by 19% between 2012 and 2022.\nAre you a creative problem-solver? Farming throws many problems your way, and having the imagination to think of creative solutions will be vital to your farm.\nAre you a patient person? Farming has a very steep learning curve and you will undoubtedly make many mistakes when you first start out. It can also take a long time, even years, until your farm is fully successful, so you will need to be able to work toward long-term prospects. <img> List your strengths and weaknesses. Be honest with yourself here. What are you good at? What are your weak spots?\nAre you good at accounting and bookkeeping? In order to keep your farm operating, you must be able to calculate risk margins, record sales and purchases, and track profits.\nAre you capable of heavy labor? Farming can be backbreaking manual labor, even with modern equipment like tractors. You will need to be fairly fit and in good health to be a farmer.\nDo you have enough money to invest in farming? Starting a small farm requires a lot of initial capital. You have to buy materials and equipment. You also have to buy land, or face unfavorable land lease relationships where you have little control over your farm.\nAre you a fast learner? You will need to absorb a lot of information and keep up to date on many trends and techniques if you’re to succeed in farming.\nDo you have significant health problems? Health insurance can be quite expensive if you’re self-employed. If you have chronic health problems or require many expensive prescription medicines, farming may not offer you enough reliability in your health care. <img> Decide whether the economic hardships of small farming are acceptable to you. Small-scale farming is a notoriously poor-earning business, and 91% of all small farms require outside income (either through other employment or through government and foundation grants) to stay afloat. If things like saving for retirement or sending your children to college are goals of yours, farming may not be for you.\nThe median farm income was -$1,453 in 2012. That means the average small farm in America lost almost $1500 a year. <img> ", "Visit farming resource websites. In order to make the decision about whether to become a farmer, you’ll want to collect as much information as possible about what the process requires,\nFarm Aid is a nonprofit organization that provides information and resources about farming. They have a resource center devoted entirely to beginning farms.\nThe National Young Farmers Coalition provides information and resources geared specifically for beginning farmers.\nThe Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program, a branch of the USDA, has a project called Start2Farm that offers a vast amount of information on beginning a farm, finding funding, and locating services. <img> Reach out to your local cooperative extension. If you live near a college or university, you probably have access to their cooperative extension office. These offices are there to serve the needs of local small business owners and agricultural producers. They provide many resources on farming and agriculture, and often offer classes and seminars too. <img> Talk to farmers. Nothing beats talking with real-life farmers about their lives and experiences. If you have a local farmers’ market, get to know the farmers who sell their goods there. Ask them about what they love about their work, and what they hate.\nIf you have farms in your area, call or email them to see if you can meet with them. While farmers are usually very busy, they are also usually very passionate about their work, and they will probably be happy to talk to you.\nYou can also visit online message boards to ask questions and learn from farmers. It’s definitely preferable to talk with people in person, though. <img> Volunteer on a farm. If you are serious about becoming a farmer, volunteering on a farm is a good way to learn if the lifestyle is really for you before you have to make a major financial investment. Organizations such as World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms link organic farms with volunteer opportunities (for a small fee), and many local farms also offer volunteer programs. <img> Look around for farms that ask for “interns” or “apprentices” in your area. Many of these programs will offer you room and board as well as a small stipend in exchange for your labor. Experts recommend that you spend three to four years “apprenticing” if you’re really serious about starting your own farm. <img> ", "Determine what crops to grow. It can be overwhelming to think about what types of crops your farm will grow, but there are ways to narrow this decision down. The majority of agricultural crops grown in the United States are grain crops, such as corn, soybeans, and wheat. If you live in an area with a demand for it, organic vegetable production can also be a good choice, as it is one of the fastest-growing sectors in American farming. There are many resources that can help you decide what crops are best for you and your area.\nThe New England Small Farm Institute provides a wealth of links to help you conduct research on crop planning.\nThe National Agriculture Library is also a good place to start for information on regional crops.\nContacting your state or province department of agriculture will help you determine specific information for crop planning in your area. <img> Find land to farm. Most beginning farmers cannot afford to buy their own land, at least at first. In addition, 80% of America's farmland is controlled by owners who are not farmers. Most expert sources recommend that beginning farmers \"start soft,\" by managing someone else's farm, leasing farmland (from private owners or from land trusts), or take over an existing (and hopefully, profitable) farm from someone else.\nWord of mouth is still one of the most powerful sources for information about finding farmland. Cultivate your network of farming connections and do your research.\nSources such as the \"Farm Link Program Directory\", \"Farm On\", and the \"Farmland Information Center\" may help you find farms to take over or farms that need managers. <img> Be honest about your potential locations. You may need to relocate in order to find affordable, plentiful farmland. You may fantasize about a farm in the Hudson Valley or the Bay Area, but keep in mind that such areas are also highly desirable to others and thus nearly prohibitively expensive. Look for farmland in an area that is populated enough to buy your products, but not so heavily populated that farmland is out of your price range.\n\nModern Farmer recommends areas such as Lincoln, Nebraska; Des Moines, Iowa; Boise, Idaho; Mobile, Alabama; and Grand Junction, Colorado as potential locations. They are close to populated areas, but not so prestigious that you won't be able to afford land. <img> Secure financing for your farm. There are many loan and grant programs available for beginning farmers, including federally backed loans from the USDA. Many of these vary by your state, so do research by beginning at an online resource such as FarmAid or Start2Farm.\nThe \"Farm Service Agency Beginning Farmer Loan Program\", National Council of State Agricultural Finance Programs, Farm Credit Services of America, and the American Farmland Trust are all good places to begin your funding search. <img> Limit your initial development. One way to control your initial startup costs and limit your risk of failure is to start small and develop your farm gradually. You don't need a bunch of fancy, expensive equipment to begin farming. Your principal focuses should be your soil and your product. <img> Grow what you know. While experimentation is great, when you're first starting out, start by cultivating what you have experience with. If you apprenticed on a berry farm, grow berries. If you trained on a pig farm, raise pigs. You can diversify later if you choose, but beginning with some expertise and experience in your area will be invaluable as you get your farm up and running. <img> Promote your products. Your network of personal and community connections will be your single biggest way to promote your farm products, but fortunately, you can also take advantage of other marketing options too. Place coupons in the local paper, create \"pick-your-own\" events, even cold-call restaurants in your area to see if they want to purchase your locally grown goods.\nMarket yourself heavily on Facebook and Twitter. Post pictures of your beautiful farm and gorgeous crops on Flickr and Instagram. Create an inspirational Pinterest board. While these social media tactics may not seem related to tilling the earth with your hands, they are very useful ways to get your farm into the public consciousness. As an added bonus, they're almost always free! <img> Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) society. These are usually organizations that connect people living in the area who want to buy locally grown produce with the farmers who produce it. Most often, people will buy \"boxes\" at a subscription rate, and you will deliver whatever fresh produce you're growing at that time. In addition to providing sales, this can be an excellent way to spread word-of-mouth about your farm. <img> Consider farm tourism. While this route may seem like \"selling out\" to you, many city dwellers are eager to learn more about farming and get their hands (just a little bit) dirty. Consider promoting farm tours and gardening classes. You could even advertise as a wedding venue. Maximizing every revenue stream you can think of will help you stay afloat even if your crops don't do well one year.\nWedding budgets are usually great news for farmers, as plenty of brides and wedding planners are willing to spend big to have their wedding in a picturesque rural locale. Prices for simply using your farm as the wedding venue can run into the thousands of dollars, which could be a significant chunk of your annual income. <img> ", "Continue to learn every day. Knowing how to grow crops and raise livestock is only the first step. Even once you’ve learned the basics, continue to do research on new techniques and opportunities, and always try to learn from other farmers. Don’t get complacent about your farming.\nRely on those who have the experience and real-life knowledge of farming and raising/growing livestock/crops to get the information and knowledge you need.\nYou will also have to learn from your mistakes and learn from the mistakes of others. There's a saying that is common among airplane and fighter pilots that is easily applicable to farmers: \"Learn from the mistakes of others, because you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.\" <img> Engage with your community. A strong connection to your community is crucial for running a successful farm. Developing a good relationship with your community means you’re also developing a support network.\nYou can't market your product or sell your livestock or crops if you can't or don't know how to communicate, network or talk with other people in your community. Make friends, acquaintances and business partners with the various people involved in agriculture, be they farm equipment mechanics, local butchers, local sale barn personnel, potential buyers, other local farmers, or various other tradesmen and -women. <img> Appreciate what you have. Most farmers are not rich, and they don’t have lots of money to spend on various \"toys\" and luxuries that others may be accustomed to. However, farming offers you the opportunity to think creatively and resourcefully, to be your own boss, and to feel proud when you’ve put in a long, hard day of work. Many farmers say that they love the sense of independence they get from farming and couldn’t imagine another life.\nDon’t believe that you have to have all the latest equipment to be a farmer. Thinking they have to spend money on a bunch of unnecessary stuff is an often mistake for brand-new farmers. Ask established, experienced farmers for advice.\nDon't be afraid, though, to expand your assets to improve your farm. There's a fine line between working with what you have and having to spend money to get what you need (not simply want) for your farm. <img> Expect to be a jack or jenny of all trades. You will find you have to be a welder, a mechanic, an electrician, a chemist, a plumber, a construction builder, an accountant, a veterinarian, an entrepreneur, a marketer, and even an economist. Make sure you know which hats to put on given the situations that require them.\nIf you don’t have all of these skills, find someone who will teach you! This is where your community engagement will come in handy. <img> Respect your farm. As a farmer, your success depends not only on your own hard work and skills but also on the land, the animals, and the forces of nature that you interact with. Love your farm for what it is, and don’t try to turn it into something it isn’t. Cultivating a deep appreciation for the whole ecosystem of your farm will give you a far deeper understanding of it.\nWhere you live will dictate what kind of severe weather to expect and whether or not you can raise certain livestock with success or failure.\nRespect your farm’s equipment too. Farm machines aren’t toys, and you shouldn’t treat them as such. Understand that they are powerful machines that could easily maim or kill if not handled correctly, and follow safety procedures at all times. <img> Love and be proud of what you do. As a farmer you are growing food for other people who cannot grow food for themselves due to time, living spaces, or life choices. You, unlike many other people, get to experience rural life at its fullest: the highs, the lows, and the hard work that goes along with it. In America, only 2% of the population are actively farming. In Canada, a mere 5% of the population follow under this category. As such, be proud of the fact that you are a part of the minority that get to provide food for others. <img> " ]

[ "Gather your materials. You will need plain paper, contact paper, brown packing paper or newsprint, a felt tip marker and scissors.\nMaking decals from contact paper is more inexpensive than using a computer and requires fewer materials.\nThis method is better for simpler designs which don't require a detailed rendering. <img> Sketch out the design on plain paper. You can also work on it using photo editing software. \nFor wall decals, create a sketch of the room where you plan to put the design.\nMake sure it's somewhat to scale and includes furniture.\nIf you are using software like Photoshop, scan in a picture of the room and add the design to the photo digitally. <img> Figure out how much contact paper you will need. Do this based on your drawing and the scale of the room or item where you are putting it. \nContact paper is available in various roll sizes and colors from online stores and home improvement stores.\nMake sure you buy enough for your project and allocate for mistakes and waste.\nIf you are working on a large area, it's a good idea to buy in bulk to save money. <img> Draw out the design on inexpensive paper to scale. Paper like brown packing paper or newsprint will work best for this mock-up.\nTape the design to the walls to make sure you are happy with the scale and shape.\nPay special attention to corners, making sure that the shape looks good in the location and that its at the correct angle.\nMake adjustments as needed until you are satisfied with the look. <img> Remove the paper from the wall. This is what you will use to trace the image onto contact paper.\nMake sure your design from newsprint doesn't become torn or damaged by the tape that temporarily holds it onto the wall.\nDouble check your design to make sure it looks correct.\nMake any adjustments as necessary. <img> Spread out the contact paper on a flat surface. The back of the paper should be facing up. \nUse weights in the corners if it's a large piece that slips.\nPlace the paper design on top of the contact paper.\nTrace the design onto the back of the contact paper with a felt tip marker. <img> Cut out your design carefully with sharp scissors. If your design is detailed with lots of negative space, it might be easier to use an X-acto knife. \nIf using an X-acto knife, be sure to use a mat underneath to avoid scratching your work surface.\nX-acto knives are very sharp and can slip from your hand easily. Be careful!\nChildren should be supervised while doing this step. <img> Transfer the contact paper to the wall. Do this by starting at the bottom of your design, working upwards.\nPeel off the backing paper as you go.\nGo slowly to avoid wrinkles and bubbles in your design as you press it onto the wall.\nPress firmly to make sure the sticky surface of the contact paper adheres to the wall. <img> ", "Gather your materials. You will need a computer or graphics tablet, scanner, photo editing software, a printer, vinyl sheet paper, laminate sheets, a laminator, scissors and/or an X-acto knife. \nYou don't necessarily need to use a graphics tablet, but editing images can be simpler on these devices as you use your finger or a stylus to make changes rather than a mouse.\nAn optional thing to use is a Pantone color guide. This can standardize colors.\nYou can use this color guide to select a color and then use the Pantone color settings on your photo editing software to get the right color when you print your design. <img> Scan the image you want to produce into your computer. If you are skilled at digital design, another option is to draw the image in Photoshop or another graphic design or photo editing software program. \nMake sure you scan in the highest quality possible to make sure your image does not get distorted.\nIt is recommended that you scan your decal into your computer at 600dpi resolution and no lower than 300dpi resolution.\nYou can also obtain images on the internet to edit or use. <img> Edit the decal using computer software. You can use popular software such as Photoshop or GIMP to do this.\nMake adjustments as needed to colors and shapes.\nResize the image so that it fits the space you want to cover. <img> Insert the white vinyl paper into the printer. Make sure it's facing the right way since printing on the wrong side may make the paper unusable. \nIf you aren't sure whether the paper should be placed face down or face up, use a plain white piece of paper to test.\nMake a mark on one side, and then print to see which side is printed. <img> Make a decal sheet. This way you can fit as many decals onto one sheet of paper as possible. \nMake sure the designs don't overlap as you'll need to cut these out later.\nThis is a good way to prevent wasting vinyl paper, as it can be costly.\nYou can create these using photo-editing software.\nPrint your decal sheet. Make sure you print this on the white vinyl paper. <img> Print out the decal sheet on plain white paper. Check the color, brightness and contrast to make sure the printed version has the results you want.\nSometimes colors and shapes don't look the same on screen vs. on paper, so it is a good idea to do this step to check your design.\nMake any adjustments to your design and print it again to double check it.\nHold the mock-up next to the wall or object you intend to put the decal on to make sure it looks correct. <img> Print your decal sheet onto the vinyl paper. Make sure it's facing the right way since printing on the wrong side may make the paper unusable. \nIf you aren't sure whether the paper should be placed face down or face up, use a plain white piece of paper to test.\nMake a mark on one side, and then print to see which side is printed.\nIf the printer ink won't stick to the vinyl paper, you have printed on the wrong side of the paper. <img> Laminate the page with a cold press laminator. Follow the instructions for the laminator to feed the image correctly. \nThe laminator will protect the design and keep the colors from fading.\nPress the laminate sheet down onto the decal sheet, sticky side down. The backing sheet from the laminate should be folded back several inches.\nFeed the laminate sheet through the cold press laminator. As you do this the backing sheet from the laminate will separate.\nTrim the excess laminate from your decal sheet before sending it through the laminator for best results. <img> Cut out the decal and apply it to your object. You can do this using sharp scissors. \nCut the decals out carefully, making sure to stay close to the outline of the decal.\nYou can trim any excess decal after it was been applied with an X-acto knife.\nPeel off the backing from the vinyl sheet and stick the decal to your object. <img> " ]

If you want to place them in a pet cemetery, you should buy a burial plot from the cemetery.\nFor example, if you want to be able to walk to the spot but not see it every day, consider placing it somewhere you won't be able to see as you walk to your car or from windows. If you would like to see it often, choose a place you can see easily every day.\nIf your pet had a favorite spot in your yard or on the property, you can choose to bury them there.\nIf you rent your home, you may not want to bury your dog there in case you move. <img> Dig the grave. If you have not cremated your dog, you should place a plastic bag or tarp around their body. Measure them so that you can dig a grave that is large enough.

You will also need to provide a casket for the dog. <img> ", "Consider pet cremation. You may choose to have your pet cremated after they have died. There are pet cremation services who can do this for you. When you cremate your pet, you do not have to deal with burying your pet.\nPet cremation may be a good choice if you want to keep the ashes.\nPet cremation is also way a to deal with your pet's remains when you cannot bury your pet anywhere. <img> Find a pet crematory. Pet crematories are available in many cities. Often, the pet crematory will come get the remains of your pet from your home or the veterinarian's office. Many vet offices provide cremation services if the pet died there was euthanized in the office. However, this may come at an additional expense.\nSearch online for a pet crematory service in your area, ask your vet, or contact the local humane society. <img> Choose the type of cremation. There are different types of dog cremations. The types include private, semi-private, and communal. The choice depends on whether you want to keep your dog's ashes in an urn and the price you want to pay.\nA private cremation means your dog is in a chamber alone. If you want to keep your dog's ashes in an urn, this may be the choice for you. However, this process is the most expensive and can reach up to $400.\nA semi-private cremation places multiple dogs in the same chamber in different partitions. During this process, the ashes can end up mixing together slightly. Some places advertise this as private cremation, so you may want to discuss what private means when talking to the crematory. The price for this process can reach up to $250.\nA communal cremation is when they place multiple pets into the same chamber so all of the ashes are combined. You will not receive an urn after this process. This is the cheapest option. <img> Decide what to do with the ashes.

You can also keep the ashes in your home in a decorative urn.\nYou can find pet urns online and in pet magazines. <img> ", "Find out if the vet will dispose of remains. If you are unable to dispose of the remains or care more about your pet's spirit than the actual physical remains, you may want to find someone else to deal with the remains. Your vet may offer to handle the remains if the dog dies in the office.\nSome vets may charge a small fee if the dog didn't die at their office. This will cover the cost of cremation. Some vets do not charge this fee, however. <img> Get the humane society to help with your dog's remains. Your local humane society may take the remains of dead pets. They may come to pick up the remains, or you may have to carry them at the office. This is often offered free of charge.\nSome humane societies have “drop off” bins for your pet, but many people find these bins to be too impersonal and choose to take them during house so they can hand them off to a person. <img> Contact animal control for help with the remains. If your pet has died, you may not have anywhere to bury them, and you may not wish to have them cremated. If this is the case, contact animal control or your local government to ask if someone, like the sanitation department, can pick up the remains.\nNever toss your dog's remains on the side of the road, in a dumpster, or in the woods. Always find a way to dispose of them properly. If you are unsure how, contact your local government for help. <img> ", "Decide ahead of time how to handle the remains. You never want to think about your beloved dog dying, but deciding what you want to do when the inevitable happens can save you some hardship when it happens. When your dog dies, you may not be prepared to think about what you want to do with their remains. Figuring it out ahead of time can help reduce stress at a difficult time for you.\nIf you've never thought about what to do with your pet's body, you may want to talk with your family about the best way to deal with the remains.\nFor example, if the dog has to be euthanized at the vet, you should think about what you will tell the vet when they ask you what you want to do with your dog's remains. <img> Determine your feelings on the remembrance of your pet. Part of the decision of what to do with your dog's remains is based on how you want to deal with the death, loss, and memory of your dog. This is different for everyone. You have to decide how you feel most comfortable dealing with your pet's death and memory.\nFor example, if you want a spot to go visit to think about your pet, you may want to bury them in your yard or in a pet cemetery. If you want to preserve the ashes in your home or spread them somewhere, you may want to consider cremation. <img> Talk about what to do with your dog's remains with your family. Because your pet may not belong only to you but the whole family, make the decision together. This can make sure that all of the needs and beliefs of your family are met during this difficult time.\nFor example, if you don't have strong feelings about your pet's physical remains but your family member wants to honor them, you may choose to bury the dog and have a small memorial service to help your family member cope. <img> " ]

[ "Freeze a block of feta cheese for 10-15 minutes. Keep your block of feta in its original packaging and transfer it to your freezer. Set a timer for at least 10 minutes so your cheese has time to harden a little bit. \nFeta cheese is really soft, and has a tendency to crumble really easily. Freezing your cheese makes it a lot firmer, which makes it a lot easier to slice. <img> Slice the cheese into ⁄2 in (1.3 cm) cubes. Place the cheese on a cutting board or another clean, sturdy surface. Cut the feta into bite-sized chunks with a knife, making sure that they’re around ⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide. For ease of eating, don’t make these chunks any larger than ⁄4 in (1.9 cm) wide.\nDepending on the recipe, you can also cut feta cheese into longer slices. Try something that would work well for your own recipe! <img> Refrigerate the cheese in a salty brine for 1-2 months. Fill an airtight, food-safe container with 2 c (470 mL) of water. Stir in 2 tsp (11.4 g) of salt, then add your sliced feta cheese into the mixture. Seal the container carefully and label it with the day’s date. Try to enjoy your cheese within about 1-2 months, or else it may start to go bad.\nThis is a really good long-term storage option.Tip: If you’re not planning to eat your feta cheese right away, you can refrigerate it in plastic wrap instead. <img> ", "Place a block of feta cheese in the bottom of a clean plastic bag. Open up a large plastic bag that’s big enough to hold a block of feta cheese.

[ "Take stock before you invest. Investors should know how they intend to dispose of any property before they buy it. Do you want to flip the property and resell it? Or, do you want to rent the property? These options have different implications when it comes to financing and taxes; you’ll need to have a general idea of what direction you want to take at the outset and be ready for contingencies.\nYou’ll need a realistic sense of your skills set, for one thing. Do you have the technical skills and knowledge to flip properties? You’ll need to have a basic knowledge of property repairs and of the costs of typical and less typical repair work.\nHaving a reserve fund is also a MUST, whether you intend to rent or to flip the property. As a rule, an investor should have enough money in reserve to pay the mortgage for six months in case the property ends up vacant or is in a rehab-to-sell situation. When you rent, you also depend on timely payment to cover the mortgage. A reserve will help you cover the payment if your tenant’s rent happens to be late. Analyze profitability of available properties. Before diving into the purchase of a property, make sure it is going to be a profitable investment. Evaluate your operating expenses and the amount of rent or income you expect to receive. Consider the neighborhood where you want to buy to determine if properties retain their value in that location.\nCalculate the price-to-rent ratio in the neighborhood where you want to purchase. Keep in mind that information on rent prices is not always easy to obtain, so this number should only be considered a ballpark figure. Divide the median home price by the median annual rent. For example, suppose the median home price is $180,000, and the median annual rent is about $12,000 ($1,000/month). The price to rent ratio is $180,000/12,000=15{\\displaystyle \\$180,000/12,000=15}. The lower the ratio, the better the investment is. An area with a price to rent ratio over 20 is not a good investment.\nCalculate gross rental yield. Divide the annual rent by the total purchase price of the property. This helps you find the house with the highest rental income and the lowest purchase outlay. For example, if you pay $100,000 for a house and you can collect $12,000 in rent per year ($1,000/month), the gross rental yield is 12 ($12,000/$100,000=.12){\\displaystyle (\\$12,000/\\$100,000=.12)}. Anything above 10% is a good investment. Some properties may require a significant amount of capital investment to make it livable (a new roof, replacing carpeting, etc.), but a high enough rental yield can still make a property that requires work a good investment.\nCalculate the capitalization rate. This tells you the rate of return on the property’s income. The capitalization rate is typically based on the property’s net income in the most recent year (if it is being rented) or on the projected rental income (if it is not currently being rented). Divide the net operating income by the purchase price of the property. The net operating income is the total annual revenue minus operating costs (operating costs tend to use up about 40% of the income). Suppose you want to purchase a property for $500,000 and your net operating income would be $35,000. Your capitalization rate would be 7% ($35,000/$500,000=.07){\\displaystyle (\\$35,000/\\$500,000=.07)}. This means that you would earn 7% of the value of the property as profit. Use the capitalization rate to compare the profitability of different properties.If the operating costs are not clear, or you're just trying to get a very general idea of whether or not the property is a good investment, take the purchase price divided by the total yearly rent to see how many years it will take to earn the money back. This can help you compare properties — if one property will take five years to earn back the investment and another property will take seven years, and capital improvements are equal, then you will likely want to pursue the property that will earn your money back faster.\nCalculate cash flow. Figure out if you will make enough income in rent to cover the mortgage principal, interest, taxes and insurance. Also, make sure you have enough in reserve to cover unexpected expenses like repairs. If not, your cash flow will be negative, which means you would be in danger of defaulting on your mortgage. <img> Arrange Financing. First, you will likely need to put down a large percentage as a down payment – many commercial loans require between 25% to 35% down payments. If you don’t have that much cash on hand, look into getting the money from a home equity line of credit, personal loan, credit cards or by cashing in a life insurance policy. Lenders will determine your interest rate based on your credit score and the amount of financial reserves you have in the bank to cover expenses on the property. Consider working with a neighborhood bank instead of a large, national bank. Local banks often offer more flexibility in structuring a mortgage.\nA 20% down payment is not your only option. You may be able to get FHA owner-occupied financing with as little as a 3.5% down payment. There are also hard money loans – these can often get you financing very fast, as the loans aren’t based on your credit score, but they carry a higher interest rate typically near the usury rate. Hard money loans may work for house flips but aren’t recommended for long-term investments.\nYour best bet is to sit down with a professional broker to learn about your different financing options. There are numerous restrictions as well as limits on conventional loans for investors. You generally can only have one FHA loan at a time, for instance, and are legally required to take out commercial loans for buildings with 5 or more units. A broker can help you navigate your options and help you strategize to make sure all your funding needs are covered.\nBe upfront with lenders about the state of the property. Many banks will not fund on particular types of property, so to avoid having your funding fall through down the line, provide the lender with photos and information on any issues with the property. You don't want the deal falling apart when the lender does an appraisal and finds out there is extensive damage on the property or that it needs repairs.\nNote that mortgage insurance – which protects the lender in case of default – will not cover investment properties. <img> Shop for a property. Start by looking at the properties listed on the multiple listing service (MLS). You can find the MLS listings on websites like Realtor.com, Trulia, or Zillow. You will find all of the same listings on your own on the MLS that a real estate agent could find for you. However, it’s still a good idea to work with a Realtor. They may have more information about amenities or specific properties. Also, they will know about available properties that are not listed on the MLS.\nOne of the biggest advantages of working with a Realtor is that they will give you an edge when it comes to timing. They can set you up to get immediate emails for listings that meet your criteria as soon as they go on the market or back on the market, and before they appear on other websites. This is valuable service in a tight real estate market.\nBe aware that there are certain things a Realtor cannot legally comment on. Your Realtor could not, for instance, make a judgement about whether a neighborhood is \"good\" or \"bad.\" Use a resource like RAIDS online to check crime in the area or floodsmart.gov to find out if flooding is common (requiring you to buy additional flood insurance for your property).\nRealtors are often paid by the seller at settlement, so it’s sometimes free for the buyer to work with one. But buyers may also pay a real estate commission to a buyer’s agent. This can be a negotiated item in a “For Sale by Owner” transaction and may open up other available properties for you to consider. <img> Make your offer. Work with your real estate agent to determine a fair price for the property. Also, write in contingencies for inspection, financing, and any other contingencies that your Realtor or lawyer advise. Choose a settlement date that works well for you and for the seller. Some sellers will accept an offer with a lower price if the offered settlement date is convenient.\nAlways have a property inspected to find any problems that may cost you money in the future. If the inspector finds anything, you may be in a position to renegotiate. You may be able to lower your offer and make the needed repairs yourself, request the seller make the repairs, or a combination of both.\nDisclose everything about the inspection. Some lenders won’t finance a property if they are aware of a needed repair that is important to them, for instance. It’s best to resolve everything before closing or move on to other properties if problems arise and aren’t fixed to your satisfaction.\nYou’ll usually want to be sure that the property passes inspection and all other requested contingencies. However, there are some circumstances when a buyer might waive contingencies and purchase a property anyway. For example, some investors are willing to do repairs and don’t need financing; they may buy a property that wouldn’t pass inspection. <img> Find tenants. If you’re intending to rent the property you’ll need to find tenants, ideally ones who will pay their rent in full and on time, keep your property in good condition, and will follow the policies outlined in your lease. Consider several factors in your search for tenants. Advertise for tenants without discriminating against any groups. Screen tenants thoroughly.\nAdvertise your property by word of mouth, flyers, signs, print ads in local newspapers and online ads on real estate websites. Websites like Craigslist, Zillow, and others allow free posting of rentals.\nCharge enough rent to cover your operating expenses, earn a reasonable profit and to be competitive with other rentals in the area. You must use the same criteria for everyone.\nProvide applicants with a list of the rental criteria that they will be evaluated against.\nHave any applicants fill out an application that lists not only their contact information, but also their sources of income, previous addresses and names of references. Also, get their permission to verify their income and check their credit. Once you have permission, check with their employers to verify their income. Once you have their Social Security number and permission, you can check their credit with any of the three credit reporting bureaus. Contact previous landlords to check references. <img> Screen applicants. You are able to screen rental applicants according to disqualifying criteria. These can include credit score, gross income, criminal history, and rental history. A previous eviction could mean denial, for example, or owing money to an earlier landlord. Be sure to give applicants a complete list of the criteria you’re using to evaluate them – these criteria are up to you, so long as you don’t discriminate against any protected groups or violate state or federal law.\nUnderstand any federal, state and local laws that protect certain classes of people from discrimination. For example, the Civil Rights Act prevents discrimination on the basis of race. The Fair Housing Act ensures fair treatment no matter someone’s race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability or if they have children.\nIf you decide to approve an applicant with issues, you can insist on certain conditions like a larger deposit or a co-signer. However, if you deny or approve an applicant with extra conditions, they’ll need an adverse action letter explaining the reasons why.\nThere are companies that can provide professional screening. Applicants usually pay for this service themselves, leaving you out of the investigative process. Then, once you get the results, you can evaluate further and decide on any extra conditions.", "Understand the meaning of real estate investment trust (REIT). REITs are companies that own or manage commercial real estate. They allow individuals to profit from real estate income without having to purchase commercial real estate. <img> Choose a type of REIT in which to invest. REITs are available in a number of different industries. REITs in each industry have their own way of earning income from the real estate. When choosing a type of REIT, evaluate the strength of the overall economy and how that industry is performing.\nRetail REITs include shopping malls and freestanding stores. They make money from the rent they charge to tenants. Choose to invest in retail REITs when the retail industry is strong and sales are high.\nResidential REITs own multi-family apartment buildings. They also make money from charging rent to tenants. Residential REITs are most profitable in large urban areas where home prices are so high that many people are forced to rent. This drives rent prices up and increases profitability for the REIT. Job growth in the area affects the profitability of a residential REIT, as well as things like vacancy rate, number of building permits issued, and if there is rent control.\nHealthcare REITs invest in hospitals, nursing homes, medical centers and retirement homes. These are becoming more profitable as people are starting to live longer and need more of these services. They make money from the healthcare system.\nOffice REITs own office buildings. Their income comes from long-term leases in the office buildings. Consider the state of the economy and the unemployment rate before investing in an office REIT. Also, evaluate the economic status of the area where the REIT is. Some cities are economically depressed, while others are experiencing economic growth.\nMortgage REITs invest in mortgages and mortgage backed securities instead of in property. <img> Purchase shares in an REIT. Contact a broker or financial planner to find the right REIT investment for you. REIT investments can be purchased through a variety of different avenues. Some are publicly traded on a stock exchange. Others are not listed or are privately traded. Another option is to purchase shares in an REIT mutual fund or exchange traded fund (ETF).\nMany REITs are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and listed on major stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).\nPublic non-listed and private REITs are registered with the SEC, but they are not listed on a stock exchange.\nIf you don’t want to worry about choosing a specific REIT in which to invest, choose to purchase shares in an REIT mutual fund or exchange traded fund. These are available from investment companies such as Vanguard, Fidelity or JPMorgan Chase & Co. The investment company researches the real estate market and builds a portfolio that will earn the highest return. <img> ", "Understand the meaning of private money lending. Private money lending means lending your own money to another investor or to a professionally-managed real estate fund. This might appeal to you if you have already made some money with your other real estate investments, and you are looking for a way to re-invest some of those funds. As a private money lender, you act as an alternative to a bank or other financial institution. The loans you make are secured by real estate.\nInvestors like to work with private money lenders because they can get money quickly without the strict regulations imposed by banks. Also, the process is generally very transparent.\nPrivate money lenders – often called hard-money lenders – charge higher rates than banks and expect to be repaid in less time, usually around 5 years. They’re meant for investors who tend to flip properties rather than rent, unless you sell before the mortgage is due. However, they often take on higher-risk loans that a bank wouldn’t authorize, such as loans for properties the person plans to rehab and then sell or rent. <img> Identify borrowers. Private money lending is becoming a significant source of financing in the real estate industry. As banks and other lending institutions impose more strict regulations, investors are turning more frequently to private money lenders to get money quickly. Borrowers come from different sectors in the real estate industry.\nPeople looking to flip houses, for instance, often seek these types of loans because the current condition of the property is not relevant. In these cases, will need to know the current value of the property and the expected value after it is rehabbed. Make sure you get a valuation from a licensed Realtor or an appraiser.\nBuilders, developers and commercial investors turn to private money lenders to fund their development projects. Banks tend to shy away from these kinds of speculative investments. <img> Mitigate risk. Evaluate potential loans to see whether they are going to be profitable investments. Consider several factors when deciding whether or not to pursue an opportunity. Failure to carefully weigh the risks against the potential profits can result in loss of capital.\nMost private money loans are between 60 and 70% of the market value of the property. The ratio of the loan to the market value of the property is known as the loan-to-value ratio.\nIn addition to evaluating the creditworthiness of the borrower, research their equity. Find out if they have enough equity in other properties to cover emergencies or unforeseen expenses.\nWherever possible, structure the loan so that you are in the first lien position. This means that you are the first creditor to receive remuneration in the event of a default. You can secure this lien priority if you offer a higher loan-to-value ratio. <img> Generate the proper loan documents. The paperwork involved in a private money loan is similar to that of a typical loan from a bank. The borrower must sign a promissory note, which is a promise to repay the loan. In addition, the borrower must put up collateral for the loan in the form of a mortgage. Private money loans for residential real estate often require third-party appraisals, an in-person property inspection, and a geology report, among other things. Check with your lender to determine their requirements. You might also need the following documents:\nA letter of intent (LOI) outlines the agreement.\nA purchase and sale agreement state the final price and the terms of the purchase.\nA preliminary title report lists the history of the property’s ownership; title insurance is also required.\nProof of funds is a bank statement or other document produced by the borrower to ensure they have the funds available to repay the loan.\nA personal guarantee from the borrower states which assets the borrower can liquidate if the loan can’t be repaid.\nA deed of trust or mortgage pledges property to secure the loan.\nAn environmental indemnity agreement is an agreement by which the borrower agrees to compensate you for any losses from environmental contamination of the property. <img> " ]

Connect the turbo brush and run it back and forth over deeply-embedded hair and residue on tougher carpet, pet beds, or fabric furniture that isn’t made of velvet or silk. Move the brush back and forth until the mess is completely removed.\nThe quick-release stubborn dirt brush is another version of the turbo brush that connects directly to the hose.\nThe turbo brush is designed to make it impossible for hair to get tangled in the hose. <img> Use the mattress tool to absorb dust and dirt in pliable surfaces. The mattress tool looks like a plastic triangle that dips down at a 45-degree angle away from your hose. It is designed to be pushed into softer surfaces without damaging the fabric. Connect the mattress tool and press it into the surface that you’re cleaning. Then, drag the tool over the surface that you’re cleaning to remove the dirt and dust embedded deep into your mattress, fluffy sofa, or pillow.\nThe mattress tool is certified as asthma and allergy friendly since it lifts hard-to-reach allergens out of surfaces that you commonly lay or sit on. <img> Pick one of the flat floor tools for floors and even surfaces. Dyson makes 2 large attachments that are designed for flat surfaces. The articulating floor tool has nylon brushes for absorbing dirt and dust on wood and tile. It also rotates and swivels to make moving it around furniture easier. Alternatively, use the flat floor attachment, which is extremely thin, for cleaning larger areas under furniture. The flat floor attachment will work on carpet or hardwood.\nDyson advertises that the articulating floor tool will work on carpet as well, but the nylon brush may not work well on thin or sensitive rugs. <img> ", "Opt for the crevice tool to vacuum sharp angles and corners. The crevice tool is a thin length of plastic with a 45-degree opening at the end of the attachment. The small, angular opening makes it easier to clean corners and hard to reach surfaces. Use the crevice tool to clean corners of your floor, ceiling, car interior, or furniture. When using the crevice tool, do your best to hold the angled opening directly against the corner or angle that you’re cleaning.\nYou can use the crevice tool on fabric, wood, metal, or stone. However, it won’t do a great job at pulling dirt out of fabric.\nThe crevice tool can also be used to vacuum in between cushions without removing them.\nDyson makes a flexible version of a crevice tool that can be bent to reach behind furniture or obstacles. <img> Pick the multi-angle brush for sensitive or oddly-shaped surfaces. The multi-angle brush is a modular angle brush with moderately-soft bristles at the end of the angular attachment. It is not entirely flexible, but it can be rotated to face specific angles. Use the multi-angle brush to kick dirt off of baseboards or vacuum the carpet under your furniture. Run the bristles back and forth across a surface to knock dirt up and absorb it in the hose.\nClean the multi-angle brush by running the bristles under warm water and letting it air dry. <img> Use the reach under tool to deep clean hard-to-reach surfaces. The reach under tool is a clunky-looking wand with multiple separate attachments. Press the red button at the end of the attachment to extend it and make the extension hose flexible. It also comes with a dusting tool and a W-shaped attachment with a brush. Use the reach under tool to force your brush behind and under appliances, inside air vents, and around light fixtures with odd shapes.\nThe reach under tool won’t connect directly to older Dyson hoses. However, it is always sold separately and comes with an adaptor for older machines. <img> Select the pet grooming tool to brush your furry friends. The pet grooming tool is a small, round attachment with a comb and a filter on it. Use the comb to gently brush your pet’s fur while vacuuming up loose fur, dirt, or dust. The filter will catch any thick clumps of fur, making them easy to pull off once you’re done grooming your pet.Warning: Do not use the pet grooming tool on your pet’s face. Avoid using the grooming tool on breeds with wiry fur, like poodles and Bichons.\n\nThe grooming tool is probably best suited for dogs since cats tend to jump all over the place at the sound of a vacuum.\nAlways brush a pet by combing away from their head. <img> " ]

[ "Purchase large, transparent containers or a terrarium. These can be glass or plastic containers. Just make sure that they’re wide and shallow, so you can easily reach into them to maintain your moss. If you go for a terrarium, be sure it comes with a lid to best store your moss.\nYou can pick up these items at your local crafts or home improvement store. You can also buy these containers online. The size of the container you pick depends on your budget, the amount of space in your home and how much time you want to spend maintaining the garden.\nA glass cloche is a great option for your moss. <img> Line the bottom of the moss garden with pebbles to create a base. The base only needs to be one pebble deep. When you’ve covered the entire bottom of your container or containers, your base it set. Saturated sand also makes for a good base when it comes to a variety of moss species. Colorful and differently-shaped rocks can enhance the aesthetics of your moss garden, so be as creative as you want.\nYou can scavenge for pebbles near your home or you can pick some up at a local landscaping or home improvement store. You can buy saturated sand at your local hardware store or order some online.\nIf you are going to put forest mosses in your garden, avoid potting soil as a base.\nYou can also use peat moss as a base for your moss. <img> Apply pine needles or rotten bark to the base. Like with the pebbles or sand, you only need one evenly spread out layer across the base. Cover the pebbles or sand with pine needles and rotten bark you find outside. Most moss species prefer these items as opposed to potting soil because it helps them develop faster. \nYou can use either pine needles or rotten bark or mix both together to put over top of the base. <img> Collect the moss from areas around your home. You can find moss on stumps, logs, soil, or rocks in upland areas. When you find some, peel it gently from its base and put it in a clean container to transport it back home. Twigs covered in moss also work well for this project. Make sure to wear gloves while you do this.\nAlways ask permission from the correct authorities if you plan on collecting moss from public land or property.\nYou want enough moss to cover your base entirely, so bring your containers of choice with you to get an accurate measurement of how much moss you need.Warning: You can buy moss online or at a floral shop if none grows near where you live. However, these mosses are often preserved, sometimes in chemicals. Preserved moss is usually dry, which means it can be difficult to work with. If you do want to buy moss, make sure you go for a fresh, living moss. <img> ", "Place the large sheets of moss over the base. The moss should go directly on top of the stones and bark you’ve already set in place. Layer the moss so that every bit of the base is covered.\nWhen you view your moss garden from above, you should only be seeing the moss itself, not the rocks or bark below it.Tip: Put other crumpled bits of moss around the base to utilize every bit of moss you collected. <img> Stick toothpicks into the moss to keep the large sheets in place. Put toothpicks every 5 inches (13 cm) along the outer part of your moss garden. Securing your moss can prevent disturbances from disrupting its development. \nThe toothpicks will not harm the moss in any way, so you can keep them in your garden as your moss continues to grow. <img> Mist the moss garden with distilled or purified water. Use a spray bottle to do this, as over-watering the moss will stunt its growth. However, if you allow the moss to dry out, it could die.\nYou can get distilled water at local home improvement stores or you can buy some online. <img> ", "Cover your containers with a lid to keep the garden moist. Moisture from the moss will evaporate in the slightly higher temperature created by the closed containers. The water vapor condenses on the containers’ walls and falls back to the moss below. This generates a cycle and a constant supply of water for the moss, which will stay damp and healthy as a result.\nSince the moisture is consistently recycled back to the moss, your garden only needs minimal care.Tip: At least once a month, take the lids off the containers for 10-20 minutes to let your moss air out. <img> Store your moss garden away from sunlight. Too much sunlight will dry up and harm your moss. However, this is where things can get somewhat tricky. The moss still needs to be in an area that with decent air circulation and a light source nearby. Keep the moss garden near a slightly-cracked window and in a well-lit room.\nIf you’re going to put a lamp next to your moss garden to give it light, make sure the lamp isn’t right over top of the container. Too much exposure to light will hurt the moss.Warning: A common mistake is to place the moss in a dark area under the assumption that this will keep the humidity high. In fact, moss needs light to photosynthesize its nutrients, so don’t make this mistake! <img> Spray the garden 2-3 times a day with distilled water. Using a spray bottle, lightly mist your moss multiple times a day to keep it damp and healthy. Make sure to close your containers immediately after spraying so the moss can keep reusing the water.\nYou should constantly check on your moss to see how it’s doing. If your moss starts to fade or feels dry to the touch, apply the water. <img> " ]

[ "Determine if all parties are legally able to participate. The contract will not be valid unless everyone entering into the contract is fully able to understand what they are signing. To facilitate this understanding, everyone involved should meet the following requirements:\nIn almost all cases, a contract is not legally valid unless the parties involved are at least 18 years of age. Look up the laws in your state or locality if you think your case might be an exception.\nAs an exception to the above rule, most states allow emancipated minors to enter into binding contracts. Additionally, a parent or guardian usually can enter into contracts on behalf of their children or wards.\nAll parties must have the mental capacity to fully understand the contract. Even an adult may not be capable of understanding what the contract requires him to do.\nA contract is voidable if a party was intoxicated or otherwise mentally impaired when the contract was signed. When sober and of sound mind, a party is legally able to decide whether or not to continue with the contract. <img> Evaluate the contract's consideration. In a legal contract, something of value must be exchanged for something else of value. This is known as \"consideration,\" and a contract cannot exist without it. Two types of goods or services can be exchanged, though most contracts involve the exchange of a product or service for money.\nOftentimes businesses that are involved in selling goods must buy these goods from a manufacturer. To guarantee quantity, quality, and date of delivery, they will often enter into a contract setting out the terms of the sale. Here the manufacturer is giving the business something of value (goods) in exchange for something else of value (money). <img> Determine the legal purpose of the contract. The purpose of the contract (the exchange of consideration) should be established clearly. In creating a legal contract, the purpose of the contract may not be illegal. A contract for an illegal exchange is not valid.\nFor example, if gambling is illegal in your location, you cannot have a legal contract to hire a blackjack dealer to run a blackjack table for an event. <img> Set the terms of the agreement. For a contract to be legal and binding, an offer must be clearly made and accepted. Before you write up a final contract, both parties should have the same idea about what the contract will stipulate. A contract that does not suit the needs of both parties will have to altered.\nA basic contract may already be on the table before final terms are agreed to. Before the contract is finalized, both the offering party and the accepting party should agree to all terms in the contract. When an offer is made, and the other party -- while responding favorably -- includes additional or alternate terms in his response, that is considered to be a counteroffer, not an agreement.\nCome to an agreement in good faith. Good faith--an understanding that both sides will fulfill the requirements of the agreement--is presumed to be the basis of all contracts. The exact definition of good faith may vary, but it generally refers to the duty to act honestly toward the other parties to the contract. When a party does not act in good faith, the contract may have been breached. There are a few activities that courts consider a violation of the good-faith agreement. Lying about the condition of a property, bribing the agent who signed the contract, or outright violations of the agreement all serve to demonstrate a breach of good faith.\nIn some cases verbal agreements are considered legal contracts. Generally speaking, verbal agreements are legally binding, as long as they can be proven. For example, if your business is considering hiring a specific wholesaler to provide a certain product, the wholesaler should quote you a price for it. If you call the wholesaler and verbally accept the terms of the agreement, you have entered into a contract. Generally it is better to get a contract in writing. Written contracts do a better job of preventing confusion about terms and assist all parties in understanding their obligations. To avoid accidentally accepting a verbal contract, ask for a written statement declaring the price and other terms before accepting anything verbally. <img> ", "Begin with the basic information. Write the date at the top of the page, then write the names or company names of both parties in this format: \"This contract is between ___ and ___.\" If there is identifying information you want to include, such as a title or business designation, include it here. If you are contracting on behalf of a business, include both the business name and the names of the people who are authorized to contract on behalf of the business. This could include names of the CEO, president or director. <img> Detail the exchange of items. Clearly describe what services or goods are being exchanged. For example, \"Business A agrees to provide 100 sweaters per month to Business B. Business A will charge $20 dollars per sweater for a total of $2,000 to be paid in full by business B within 30 days of delivery.\"\nUse plain language, rather than legalese. If you end up going to court, the judge will adjudicate the case based on how the contract would be interpreted by the average person.\nUse concise language. It should explain what one business is offering and promising to deliver and what the other business agrees to pay or do in exchange. State exactly what is being sold.\nIf payments are to be made, include acceptable means of making payments (cash, check, or credit card, for example) as well as the amounts that will be due and the due dates.\nIf your business is selling property, provide a legal description of the property and its exact location. The description may pinpoint the location of the subject property within its particular Township, Range and Section. To find the legal description of a property, go to the records office nearest the property. The clerk there can look up the legal description based on the address. Additionally, some property deeds include the legal description.\nWhen selling goods or services, describe them in detail. Describe the color, size, make, model, delivery date and any other identifying details. If services are in consideration, indicate what services will be performed. Specify who will perform the services, for whom, where, when, for how long and for how much money or other consideration. <img> Consider adding a confidentiality clause. If you don't want the other party to share the information in the contract with others, you can add a confidentiality clause. All businesses have some important, confidential information, be it a sales plan, a recipe, or the company's marketing strategy. Companies often insert a confidentiality clause into an employment contract if the employee will deal with sensitive information. This type of clause is not necessary when the other party to the contract will not be exposed to any secret information.\nThe basic principles of a confidentiality clause are similar to those of non-disclosure agreements.\nYou may also want to include a non-compete clause, which would prohibit someone from engaging in a similar service for a competitor for a given period of time (such as one year) after termination of employment with you.\nA confidentiality clause can be worded like this: “The parties acknowledge that each may receive or have access to confidential information. For the purposes of this agreement, the party that receives the confidential information will not reveal this information to anyone for any reason.” <img> Add dispute resolution terms to the contract. The contract should specify how the issue will be handled if a breach occurs. Note who will pay attorney's fees and court costs, and what the remedy for breach is. Also note the state or district in which disputes will be settled, particularly if the parties to the contract reside or are licensed in different localities.\nIf a party to the contract breaches, and lawyers get involved, it is usually customary for each party to pay their own legal fees. However, parties can require the losing side in a legal dispute to pay the winner's attorney’s fees. To include a provision for payment of attorney fees, include language such as: “The winning party has the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement.”\nIf the contract is for a small business, consider adding an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) clause. Alternative dispute resolution is a term for the methods of settling a legal dispute short of litigation. ADR is usually faster, simpler, more efficient and more flexible than litigation. In addition, ADR is a private proceeding, which is good for businesses that do not want to hurt their reputation in public litigation. Types of ADR include mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. In mediation proceedings, a neutral third party helps the contracting parties talk through their dispute and find a compromise. Arbitration is more like a trial but is outside the court system. An “arbitrator” hears evidence from both sides and then makes a binding decision. In negotiation the parties resolve the dispute themselves, possibly with attorneys. \nAlthough the parties to the contract agree to use ADR after a dispute arises, it is usually difficult for them to reach an agreement at that time. To write an ADR clause into a contract, use language similar to the following: “All claims and disputes arising under or relating to this agreement are to be settled by [mediation/arbitration/negotiation] which will be conducted in the [city/county/state/province] of [whatever jurisdiction the parties agree on].” <img> Include a clause describing the termination of the contract. Specify how long the contract will last. If it's for a one-time exchange of services, state that it will be terminated upon completion of the transaction. If it's a contract for ongoing services, you may want to state terms for either party to terminate the contract.\nThe contract should contain language allowing for termination if one party is in violation of the agreement, including a provision for how much termination notice should be given (such as two weeks). For example, you could include language stating what constitutes a breach and what the other party will do if there is a breach: “If Company X does not deliver [the product] within three weeks of signing this Agreement, X has breached the contract. Company Y is entitled to buy [the product] from another vendor and recover any difference in price from Company X.”\nIf neither party breaches the contract, it will terminate whenever the performance is completed. This does not need to be explicitly spelled out in the contract. Whenever both parties have done everything the contract stipulates, the contract will automatically terminate. <img> Make sure the contract is in accordance with applicable law. Research which laws pertain to the contract so you can ensure that it is legally enforceable.\nFor example, certain contracts must be in writing to be enforceable. Additionally, different places have different rules regarding the way contracts are interpreted if there is a breach. <img> Reserve the last page for the parties to sign and date the contract. Provide spaces for each name and accompanying dates. <img> Hire a lawyer to review your contract. A lawyer can ensure that your contract is written in accordance with applicable law. S/he can also help with the termination clause, suggesting appropriate cover (recovery of losses) in the case of a breach of contract. <img> ", "Make an offer, and consider any counteroffers. When the contract is ready, send it to the other party. The other party will examine the contract to ensure that the terms suit them. In some cases the other party will sign and return the contract right away. More often, he or she will respond with a counteroffer. If there is a counteroffer, be sure to read any changes carefully and decide whether they are acceptable before you sign.\nIf you want to speed things along, you can include a date by which the contract should be either accepted with signature or rejected. Without such a stipulated date, the other party is obligated to respond \"within a reasonable amount of time,\" but this is highly subjective.\nYou can revoke an offer that has not yet been accepted. For example, if you present someone with an offer, and he is considering it but has not accepted the offer, you can tell him that you have changed your mind. However, once the offer has been accepted, you've entered into a binding agreement. <img> Negotiate until an agreement is reached. It's common for parties to pass a contract back and forth making changes until both parties are satisfied with the terms.\nThe parties are welcome to change the contract in any way they want, so long as the other party sees the changes and has the opportunity to respond.\nMake sure that you are completely satisfied with the terms before signing the contract. It is very important to read through the whole contract just before signing it to ascertain that there are no changes added without your knowledge. After signing, you are legally obligated to perform under the terms of the contract. <img> Understand your liability. After signing the contract, you are legally bound by its terms. If one party does not do what is specified in the contract, the other party has legal remedies and can sue. The courts can either try to enforce the contract or award monetary damages. Any ADR options listed in the contract are also available to dissatisfied parties. The legal system will usually support contract terms, however, and can be used against a violator. <img> " ]

[ "Get the right sized tank for your snake. Corn snake adults can get to be as big as 5 feet (1.4m) long. You may not need a 20 gallon (75.7 L) enclosure for a hatchling, but eventually you will. The enclosure can be either a tank or vivarium. When the snake is small, it is ok to start your pet off in a smaller tank such as a Living World Faunarium or similar product. For a large snake, the vivarium should be around 30–50 inches (76.2–127.0 cm) long but there's no real limit on size, just make sure it's large enough for the snake.\nTip: The length of the cage needs to be at least 2/3 of your snake's full length when it's extended. As your snake grows, you'll likely need to upgrade your tank. <img> Give your corn snake enough heat. Provide a basking bulb that covers about 1/3 of the tank to provide a proper heat gradient. Position the bulb over one side of the tank to get a gradient temperature. Temperatures should be about 75-85 degrees F, 23-29 degrees C, with the higher temperature on the warm area of the tank at one side.\nYou can also use a heat mat, but it may put your snake at risk of a burn. If you use a heat mat, it must be thermostatically controlled because they reach in excess of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) which will severely burn the snake. Place the mat under 1/3 of the cage.\nHot rocks are never suitable for any pet as they provide a localized source of heat that is too hot. A cold snake may curl around it, seriously burning itself. <img> Give your snake some hiding places: You should provide some places for you snake to hide in to feel secure. Put at least 1 hiding spot in the warm area and 1 in the cool area. If you like, it's okay to add additional hiding spots if the habitat is large enough. Hides can be anything from shop-bought ones to Lego pieces. Be creative here but make sure your materials are non-toxic, not edible, and not ingestible. <img> Provide your snake with a branch for climbing. Your snake will want to explore its habitat, so include at least 1 branch for it to slither up. Look for a sturdy branch, which can be store bought. Securely install the branch in the tank so your snake can safely crawl up and down it.Check for climbing branches at a local pet store or online.\nIf you find a branch in nature, clean it well and make sure it's free of bugs before you put it in your snake's habitat. Cover your tank or vivarium with substrate. There are many, many different floor coverings commercially available for corn snakes but your best options are repticarpet, cypress chips, plain paper towels, and newspaper. Newspaper is the best as it is very absorbent and easy to replace.\nWhile practical, newspaper is not very aesthetically pleasing.\nIf you want a decorative substrate, use bark or cypress mulch. Do not use cedar shavings in a snake habitat, as it is toxic to reptiles. <img> Never catch a wild corn snake. Corn snakes are becoming more and more easy to obtain, but that doesn't mean you should seek them out. Wild ones do not adjust well to captivity and have a low survival rate. Captive bred ones have been in captivity for many generations and have become very domesticated. Find a good breeder, either through a forum or other source. Pet shops are not good as you cannot be sure if the snake comes from a reputable source.\nOnce you have your snake, leave it 5 days before feeding or handling it so it can settle in. <img> ", "Give your snake enough water. You should provide a bowl of water for your snake, big enough for it to soak if it wishes. Change the water twice a week. The bowl can be on either the cool or warm side. Be aware that a bowl on the warm side will increase the humidity.\nTip: To further increase the moisture in the tank, place moist spaghnum moss in the warm area of the tank. Wet and wring out the moss daily to keep it moist. As the moss evaporates, it'll add humidity to the air. Additionally, placing the moss near a rock or wooden branch that your snake can rub against will help with shedding. <img> Provide adequate lighting. You should provide the snake with a natural light cycle (12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark). You do not need UV lights or calcium supplements like you do in other reptiles that eat insects. Snakes DO in fact use UV to synthesize vitamin D3 but in captivity they don't need it because they receive vitamin D3 from the mice they eat. They also get calcium too. Vitamin D is in the liver of mice and calcium is in the bones. <img> Avoid keeping a pair of corn snakes together if possible. Corn snakes are a solitary species and prefer their own territory. Keeping two snakes together can increase their stress. Corn snakes in captivity (especially hatchlings) have been known on occasion to eat one another, with both snakes involved dying.\nThe main exception is a breeding pair. If you wish to breed, check that your female is 300g, 3 feet (0.9 m) long and 3 years old (333 rule) and consult a good book. Do not cohabit your breeding pair until you know that they and you are ready. Do not house them together permanently. Research breeding thoroughly, breeding can cause complications with the female. Inbreeding is best avoided.\nIt is possible to keep two corn snakes together if you introduce them carefully and provide a large enough vivarium with extra supplies, but remove the newcomer as soon as you notice bullying behavior. Ideally, keep the two snakes in separate vivariums or ask an expert on the best way to keep two corn snakes together. <img> Get the correct size of frozen mice for your snake. It is best to feed your snake on frozen/thawed mice as they will not injure your snake and it's much more humane. It's safe to store frozen mice in your freezer for up to 6 months. Give your corn snake mice that are no bigger than the widest part of their body. Baby corn snakes are started on pinkie size mice and progress up the sizes of pinkie mice, fuzzy mice, small mice (hoppers), medium mice (weaned), large mice (adult) and extra large (jumbo adult) as they grow. Here is a rough guide of what to feed a snake:\nSnake: 4-15g — Mouse: Pinkie;\nSnake: 16-30g — Mouse: Pinkie x2;\nSnake: 30-50g — Fuzzy;\nSnake: 51-90g — Mouse: Hopper/Small;\nSnake: 90-170g — Mouse: weaned/medium;\nSnake: 170-400g — Mouse: Adult/large;\nSnake: 400g+ — Mouse: jumbo adult/large.Tip: Be careful when increasing the size of the mouse, as feeding your snake a mouse that is too large can harm it. Your snake might suffer broken ribs or could have trouble digesting its food. Feed your snake one mouse per week. Adults only need to be fed once every 10-14 days. Feed your snake inside its enclosure. To feed, hold the prey item in the tweezers and wiggle it in front of your snake. It will strike and possibly constrict then swallow its food whole.\nCage aggression is a myth and won’t happen with consistent handling.\nFeeding outside of the tank can cause regurgitation (which is very bad) and stress.\nYou might use a feeding enclosure that you can place inside the tank if you don't want to handle your snake.\nDo not handle your snake after a feed, as it can regurgitate its meal. Wait 48 hours before holding your snake again! <img> Keep your snake happy in its home. Snake droppings aren’t very big so cage cleaning doesn’t need to happen often. It will need to be cleaned about every 3 or so weeks but scoop out fresh excrement where possible. Feed your snake weekly and give it a change of scene once in a while and it will be happy in its new home.\nFor instance, you might switch out the enclosure items for a change of scenery, add climbing items, put in knobs or pegs, or place items scented like prey animals inside the cage for your snake to investigate. <img> ", "Handle your snake with care. Pick your snake up by the middle of the body and support it with both hands. When holding your snake, hold it away from your face. Pet it in the way the scales go; they don't like it the other way around. Do not handle a snake after it’s eaten for 48 hours. Wash your hands after handling your snake. <img> Know when snakes shed. When your snake’s eyes glass over it’s time for it to shed. Your snake should not be handled at this stage; as they may resort to self-defense, wait until after the shed.\nCorn snakes do not require misting or a humid hide to have a good shed. However, if they get stuck shed or they don’t shed in one piece it’s best to mist and provide a humid hide then.\nAfter a few days, your snake's eyes will return to normal and a few days after that the shed will happen. You may want to measure and laminate the shed as a record. <img> " ]

[ "Opt for body washes with natural ingredients. In general, look for a body wash that limits the use of chemical ingredients. This is less likely to cause skin irritation. Read the back of a body wash container and scan the ingredients list carefully. Go for a body wash that has only a short ingredients list using words you recognize, such as \"beeswax,\" over lists of lengthy chemical additives.\nArtificial fragrances should be avoided if possible. Instead, look for a body wash that uses essential oils. <img> Look for a body wash with a moisturizing element. As water removes moisture from your skin, the ideal body wash should always have a moisturizing element. When looking for a body wash in the store, go for one labeled \"moisturizing.\"\nIngredients like shea butter and aloe vera extracts are good for moisturizing skin. <img> Experiment a little. Everyone's skin reacts differently to different products. You may need to try a variety of foaming body washes before finding one that works for your skin's needs. Experiment with a few different brands of foaming body wash until you find one that leaves your skin feeling refreshed and smooth after getting out of the shower.\nTry getting a few different travel-sized containers of moisturizing body wash. <img> Avoid dangerous chemical additives. Chemical ingredients are best avoided, as they can cause irritation. Some chemical ingredients can have potential health risks if used long term. When selecting a body wash, try to avoid body washes containing the following:\nSodium Lauryl Sulfate\nAmmonium Lauryl Sulfate\nSodium Laureth Sulfate\nAmmonium Laureth Sulfate\nAlpha Olefin Sulfonate\nCastor oil\nDiethanolamine\nTriethanolamine\nPropylene Glycol <img> ", "Use only a small amount of body wash. You only need a tiny squeeze of foaming body wash. As it foams up, a little bit will go long way. Squeeze a small amount in the center of your palm and wait for it to foam. <img> Rub your body wash over your skin. Once your body wash is foaming, you can rub it into your skin. Due to its foamy nature, body wash can be applied with your hands instead of a wash cloth or other device. Wash your skin wherever you normally would with body wash.\nWhile you can use a wash cloth or sponge with foaming body wash, these can contain bacteria. Part of the appeal of foaming body wash is that you can apply it simply using your hands to reduce germs. <img> Rinse. When you're done applying your body wash, rinse off as you normally would. You can finish your shower routine as normal after using foaming body wash. <img> Dab yourself dry with a towel. You do not want to rub your skin dry after using a moisturizing body wash. This can irritate your skin, cutting back on the body wash's soothing effects. Instead, gently dab your skin dry using a towel after getting out of the bath or shower. <img> ", "Use scented body wash after a workout. If you work out, try bringing foaming body wash to the gym. After a vigorous workout, use some foaming body wash in the gym shower with a pleasant scent. This will leave your skin feeling fresh and hydrated while also giving you a fresh scent.\nHowever, keep in mind some people are irritated by fragrant body wash products. Stop using scented body wash if you notice irritation. <img> Wash your face with foaming body wash. If your body wash is safe to use on your face, wash your face with it at the end of the day. Moisturizing body washes can leave your face feeling smooth, refreshed, and moisturized.\nIf you have an existing routine to keep acne away that works, avoid washing your face with foaming body wash on your face. Any new cleansers can affect your skin care regimen. <img> Use it as a cleaner. After wiping down things like counters and sinks with your regular cleaner, wipe them down with some scented foaming body wash. This will leave counters with a nice scent, giving your kitchen a fresh smell after cleaning <img> " ]

[ "Know the difference between the three major types of bamboo. Bamboo plants are typically classified as clumping bamboo, running bamboo, or reeds.\nReeds are rarely planted in yards, if ever, so you can expect to deal with either clumping or running bamboo.\nRunning bamboo sends out rhizomes, which spread into other areas, causing the plant to become invasive.\nClumping bamboo grows in tight clusters and rarely spreads out over larger areas. <img> Pick the best bamboo variety for your climate. Most bamboo varieties do best in tropical climates, but if you live in a somewhat cooler area, there are a few hardier varieties you can attempt to grow with some success.\nIf you living in warmer hardiness zones, like zones 7 through 10, a few good choices might be Bambusa multiplex ‘Alphonse Karr’, Borinda boliana, and Phyllostachys nigra. The first two are clump bamboo types, while the last is running bamboo.\nFor slightly cooler climates, like those found in hardiness zones 5 and 6, try the clumping type Fargesia dracocephala ‘Rufa’ or the running type Pleioblastus viridistriatus. <img> Pick the best spot in your yard. Bamboo needs a great deal of sun, so you should usually pick a spot in your yard that receives 8 or more hours of sun daily. Note that some tropical species do require shade during the hottest parts of the day, however.\nShade can be especially important during winter. The combination of frost and direct sunlight can dehydrate the plant quickly. As such, if you live in an area that receives frost during winter, you should opt for a spot that receives partial shade instead of one with direct sun. <img> Amend the soil. While bamboo can do well in many types of soil, it does best in loam or marly soils. Improve your odds of success by digging and mixing in amendments to the soil before planting.\nWork garden compost or manure into the soil to provide it with additional nutrients. Ideally, the compost should be worked into the bottom of the transplant hole so that the bamboo roots sit on top of it.\nLoam soil is a mixture of five parts topsoil composted with two parts sand, two parts silt, and one part clay.\nAvoid rocky or soggy soils, as well as soils that are relatively impermeable. <img> Prepare for wind. Bamboo has a shallow root system, yet it also grows tall and fast. As a result, it can easily get damaged by strong winds. You will need a barrier to prevent this from happening.\nThe easiest way to protect your bamboo is to position them behind garden hedges or trees. Otherwise, you might need to build a fence around the area. <img> Prevent bamboo from spreading. If you are planting running bamboo, you will need to construct a barrier to prevent the bamboo from invading other parts of your yard.\nAfter determining the area in which you want to confine the bamboo, install barriers of sheet metal or concrete around the perimeter. These barriers should be 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) deep. <img> ", "Plant during spring. Bamboo grows quickly and needs quick access to warm, frost-free temperatures. Sow the seeds after the final frost of the season for best results.\nIf you are starting your bamboo plants from seeds, you should start in the very early spring so that the plants have enough time to establish themselves by summer. If you are transplanting established seedlings, any part of spring is suitable for planting.\nYou should avoid planting bamboo in the fall, especially if you live in cooler climates, since the plant needs time to harden before cold, drying winds of winter begin.\nConversely, if you live in severely hot climates that regularly reach temperatures hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), you need to plant the bamboo early enough in the spring or in the early fall to avoid the intense heat of summer. <img> Prepare the seeds. Bamboo seeds need to be cleaned and dried in the sun for 1 to 2 hours. Afterward, you should soak the seeds in clean water to break them out of dormancy. Soak the seeds for 6 to 12 hours.\nDrain the water 10 to 20 minutes before you sow the seeds. <img> Plant the seeds in plastic seedling containers. If growing bamboo from seed, you will likely have better results if you plant the seeds in soil-filled plastic pallets meant for seedling growth.\nFill the seedling containers with a mixture made from 8 parts topsoil, 1 part ashes, and 1 part fine wood chips or rice husks. Filter this mixture through a wire mesh to remove stones and debris before filling the containers.\nWhen filling the containers, leave the soil fairly loose.\nMake small holes 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) deep in the center of each seedling compartment. Drop one seed in each hole and cover the seeds gently with additional soil.\nMoisten the soil immediately and water daily. Let the seeds grow in an area of partial shade. <img> Transplant seedlings after 3 to 4 months. Even though adult bamboo grows quickly, in the early stages, most species of bamboo will not be strong enough to transplant any earlier than this. Transplant the seedlings into small, separate pots or into poly bags filled with a mixture made of two parts manure, three parts soil, and one part sand.\nBamboo seeds usually germinate after 10 to 25 days, and initially, the leaves are very fragile.\nIt takes 3 to 4 months before the seedlings produce a rhizome, or stem, capable of producing new sprouts. This is the point in time at which bamboo can be transplanted.\nNote that if you are transplanting bamboo seedlings instead of growing the plant from seeds, these are the instructions you need to pay attention to. <img> Space bamboo 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1 1/2 m) apart when transplanting them to your yard. If you ultimately want to create a dense screen of bamboo, you will usually need to plant the young seedlings this far apart early on. This is especially true of running bamboo.\nThe plants should be transplanted to your yard once they reach 16 to 20 inches (40 to 50 cm) tall. Remove them from their pots or poly fill bags and place them directly into the ground.\nThe hole you transplant the bamboo into should be roughly twice as wide as the bamboo root mass.\nIf working with clumping bamboo, you can place them within 1 to 2 feet (30.5 to 61 cm) since these varieties will not spread out much.\nNote that clumping bamboo gains 1 to 2 feet (30.5 to 61 cm) of height yearly, while running bamboo gains 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 m) of height yearly and spreads out at about the same rate. <img> ", "Water the bamboo regularly. Most species of bamboo require consistent watering, but you should not let the bamboo roots sit for an extended period of time in excess water.\nBamboo seeds and young shoots should be watered daily during mild and dry weather.\nAfter bamboo plants have been established in your yard, you should water them twice a week during mild weather and three to four times a week during hot or windy weather. <img> Spread mulch. Organic mulches help keep bamboo growth in check and can protect the bamboo from potential threats.\nGrass clippings make one of the best mulches for bamboo since they are rich in nitrogen and silica. Compost and hay can work well, too, as do many other types of organic and untreated mulch. <img> Protect the bamboo in winter. Bamboo is a warm weather plant, so you should take extra precautions during winter to prevent the plant's roots from completely freezing.\nApply an extra thick layer of mulch to protect the root systems of the mulch during freezing temperatures.\nIf cold, harsh winds are a problem, you might need to construct a temporary barrier to shield your bamboo.\nIf your bamboo takes on a dry look or silver color, this could be an indication of cold injury. <img> Use a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Organic fertilizers are often recommended, and nitrogen promotes stronger, greener plant growth, so a fertilizer fairly high in nitrogen is usually best.\nApply fertilizer once in the early spring and once in the summer. This schedule corresponds to the main growth seasons of bamboo.\nIf using an organic and mild bamboo, you can apply fertilizer monthly throughout the spring, summer, and early fall. <img> Thin and prune the bamboo as needed. As bamboo spreads, you might need to thin it out to prevent the stalks from crowding into one another and cutting off nutrient supplies.\nIf you want to prevent running bamboo from spreading and do not have a barrier installed that can do so, you will need to cut new shoots off at ground level as soon as they appear in areas you do not want the bamboo in.\nRemove old, unattractive bamboo branches once a year. Trim them back until they look neat.\nIf you cut bamboo just above a node, it can grow back.\nMake sure you remove dead leaves from around the base of the bamboo. It's ok to leave some, though, as they will add silica to the roots. <img> Protect the bamboo against pests and disease. Bamboo is resistant to most pests and diseases, so you only need to apply pesticide and fungicide after a problem develops.\nSome species of bamboo can fall victim to scale insects, red spider mites, and rust. Since adult bamboo is fairly hardy, however, mites are usually only a problem for new shoots.\nIf you suspect that pests or fungi are a threat to your bamboo, quarantine new plants and spray them with a miticide or fungicide before transplanting them. <img> Consider harvesting your bamboo. Fresh shoots of bamboo can be used for food, so if you want to add it into your diet, harvest young shoots within the first couple of months.\nBamboo is best when fresh, but you can also can it or freeze it for long-term food storage.\nFresh bamboo has a crisp texture and sweet flavor.\nBamboo is a good source of fiber and is roughly equal to the onion in terms of nutritional benefits. <img> " ]

[ "Opt for lavender oil if you have dry hair. First, examine your scalp and hair for signs of dryness and flakiness. If your hair feels consistently dry and damaged, check your local drug store or vitamin shop for bottles of lavender or geranium oil. When added to a shampoo, conditioner, hair serum, or scalp scrub, these oils can make up for the lack of oil production in your scalp.\nChamomile, geranium, sandalwood, and rose oil are also great products to use with dry, damaged hair. <img> Use cedarwood, clary sage, or jojoba oil to stimulate your scalp. To keep your hair healthy, opt for essential oils that encourage circulation throughout your scalp. To do this, check your local vitamin or drugstore for bottles of jojoba, clary sage, or cedarwood oil. When combined, you can make an effective hair serum with these ingredients.\nJojoba oil offers a lot of nutrients to your hair and also serves as an excellent moisturizer.\nCedarwood and clary sage oil can both help to promote hair growth.\nScalp stimulation and massages encourage more blood flow, which can promote healthy hair growth. <img> Seek out sage oil if your hair is oily. Check your hair, roots, and scalp to see if you have any extra greasiness or natural oil content in your hair. While some hair products combat this issue, you can provide extra nourishment to your hair by adding sage oil to your hair care routine. If you prefer a different scent, peppermint and lemon essential oil can also help lessen your oily hair.\nGeranium and juniper oil are also viable options.\nSage oil is often referred to as “clary sage.” <img> Select rosemary oil to help promote hair growth. While there’s no instantaneous cure for balding or hair loss, you may see positive hair growth results by including rosemary oil in your shampoo, conditioner, or other hair treatments. If you don’t like the scent of rosemary, you might find success with peppermint or lavender oil as well.\nCedarwood and clary sage oil can also promote hair growth when used in topical treatments. <img> Invest in lemongrass oil if you have a lot of dandruff. Examine your hair roots and strands for any obvious dandruff flecks, which are signs of a flaking scalp. If you’re suffering from this condition, try adding lemongrass oil to your natural hair products and treatments. If your dandruff is caused by a yeast overgrowth, you might be successful with this particular essential oil.\nTea tree, rosemary, and peppermint oil can also help fight dandruff naturally. <img> Soothe your scalp with almond or chamomile oil. Check between your hair strands to search and feel for dry skin, discomfort, and other signs of scalp inflammation. If your scalp is perpetually itchy, try using almond or chamomile oil to address the issue. These ingredients can also help with dermatitis-related issues in your scalp.\nIf you’re suffering from dermatitis, try using tea tree, rosemary, and lavender oils instead. <img> ", "Mix up to 10-20 drops of essential oil into a small bottle of shampoo or conditioner. Find an 8 fluid ounces (240 mL) bottle of unscented shampoo and/or conditioner and set it aside. Next, pour 10-20 drops of your desired essential oils into your shampoo or conditioner bottle, then shake to combine the ingredients. Use your enhanced shampoo and conditioner on a regular basis to boost your usual hair care routine.\nIf you have dry hair, combine 10 drops of essential oil with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive, coconut, or jojoba oil, then stir the mixture into the shampoo.\nIf you have oily hair, mix 20 drops of essential oil with 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of bentonite clay into the shampoo.\nUse 15 drops of essential oils to promote hair growth, and 20 drops when fighting dandruff.\nOnly use your shampoo and conditioner 2-3 times a week to prevent your hair from drying out. <img> Combine 4-5 drops of essential oils with a carrier oil to create a nourishing hair serum. Pour several drops of jojoba, clary sage, and cedarwood oil into a small bottle. Next, add in 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of a carrier oil, like olive or coconut, into the mixture. Pour the serum into your hands, then massage the mixture through your hair and roots. Let the serum soak in by wrapping a towel around your hair, then rinse out the serum after 30 minutes.\nYou can go to bed with the serum soaking in your hair, then shampoo and rinse it out in the morning.\nUse this treatment whenever you'd like to provide your hair with some extra nourishment.\nIf you have natural hair, consider using a leave-in conditioner after trying out the serum.\nThis serum helps to nourish your hair. You can also use lavender oil in your mixture instead of jojoba oil. <img> Add 2-3 drops of essential oils to a scalp-soothing scrub.

[ "Practice basic safety procedures. People using ATMs will occasionally be targets of robberies and other crimes, so you'll want to be sure to be safe. First, make sure that the area is well lit and you are alone. Be on your guard if other people show up. Stand so that your screen and key presses are masked. \nYou'll also want to look at the machine itself. Devices called card skimmers are becoming more common and, while there is no universal signal that an ATM is compromised, if something seems off about how the card slot looks then you'll just want to find another machine to use.\nOnly use ATMs during the day in well trafficked areas, if possible. <img> Insert your debit card into the ATM. Mobile banking cards come in two varieties — debit cards and credit cards. Debit cards are most frequently used in ATMs; they're linked to the exact amount you have in your bank account. Credit cards can be used in some cases, but fees and interest rates usually make them expensive to use. Insert your card into the card slot, ensuring that the chip side is facing inward.\nParticular machines may have a special fee (usually when in a tourist area) which should be labeled on the machine.\nIf you travel out of the country, there may be additional fees associated with the distance or currency change. <img> Try to use ATMs and debit cards that are issued by the same bank. For example, if you own a Chase debit card, look for a Chase ATM or local branch. Although you can use almost any debit card on almost any ATM, you will likely be charged an additional fee for withdrawing money if the ATM is for a bank other than one you have an account with. Additionally, some of the services offered by the ATM may not be available if your card and ATM don't match.\nIn addition, when the branch is closed, you will still be able to access the ATM by swiping your bank's card on the card reader, giving you added security. <img> Select your language. Most ATMs will offer transactions in several different languages, usually at least three or more dependent on where you live. Where in the process you change the language can depend on the machine, but it is usually directly after inserting your card. <img> Enter your PIN when prompted. \"PIN\" stands for \"personal identification number,\" and it's typically a four- to six-digit password people use to access their bank account. Enter your PIN number when asked to by the machine, making sure to shield the pad with your hand so that nearby onlookers can't see it. You should also watch out for cameras that are placed on the ATM itself, as these can be placed by criminals in order to steal your card information.\nWhile PINs are typically four or six digits long, note that this length may vary depending on the financial institution associated with your ATM card. <img> ", "Withdraw money. You can withdraw money for almost any ATM, regardless of the associated bank (though this may incur fees). You will usually have two withdrawal options:\nFast cash - which allows you to quickly withdraw a set amount as labeled on the machine. This is usually either $40, $50, or $60.\nTargeted withdrawal - which allows you to specify how much you want to withdraw by typing in the amount.\nBe careful of your limits. Most ATMs and banks limit how much you can withdraw from an ATM in a given day. The limit varies widely based on your bank and your account type, but limits between $300-$1000 are common. <img> Deposit money. You can deposit money as well, as long as you are using an ATM associated with your bank. You should be presented with the choice of what account you want the money deposited in to. The funds may not be immediately available, or only some of them may be immediately available. There are two ways that you can deposit money:\nDeposit cash. This is usually fed into the machine, though sometimes a deposit envelope may be required. If you are using a modern ATM, you should be able to insert a stack of bills, often between 30-50 bills at a time, and the machine will count them up automatically.\nDeposit checks. Older machines may require that you use a deposit slip in order to deposit a check, but for most modern machines you can simply feed the check into the ATM. The ATM will provide you with specific instructions, and a deposit envelope if you don't have one.\nIf you do need to fill out a deposit envelope, it's better to get the envelope from the machine and then exit out of the transaction, filling out the details and inserting the check into the envelope in your car or other safe location. Simply return to the machine, reinsert your card, and start the process over again once the envelope is prepared. <img> Check your account balance. You should have the option to check your account balance, or how much money you have available in your account, so long as you are using an ATM associated with your bank. This balance is often printed out on a receipt or sheet of paper, although it may be displayed on the screen as well. <img> Transfer money or make payments. Many bank's ATMs will allow you to transfer money between multiple accounts you hold with the same bank, or even transfer money to other people's accounts. Occasionally you may also have the option to make payments, such as paying pre-set up bills or fees on your bank account itself. <img> ", "Follow the prompts to end your session. Once you've completed your transaction, you'll have to follow the on-screen prompts in order to exit out and get your card back. Often times, a short cut can be to simply press the red X on the keypad, which is similar to the \"back\" option on a computer. <img> Don't forget to take your card and money! It's easy to forget to take your money or card when you're in a hurry, but be careful and be extra sure to take all of your belongings when you're done. This includes a cell phone you might have set down on the machine! <img> Switch to mobile banking. Be aware that for everything but withdrawing money, you can now use mobile banking if you bank with one of the major banks. Mobile banking, which uses your smart phone, allows you to deposit checks, check your balance, transfer money, and includes many of the other services of the ATM. <img> " ]

The selected file will open in the Text Import Wizard. <img> Choose whether the text file is Delimited or Fixed Width. In the \"Original data type\" section, choose either of the following:\n\nDelimited text uses commas, tabs, or other characters to separate each field.\n\nFixed width contains text that's aligned into columns with single spaces between each field.\nMost text files contain delimited data. This means your data entries are separated by tabs, commas, or a different character, rather than fixed-width spaces with columns. <img> Check the box next to \"My data has headers\" (if your columns have headers). This tells Excel to format the first line as column headers rather than typical cell values. <img> Click Next in the Text Import window. This will take you to the next step, which varies depending on whether you're working with delimited data or fixed width data. <img> Choose your delimiter preferences and click Next. If you chose Delimited as your data type, you'll be asked to choose the character that separates your data (e.g., Tab, Semicolon, Comma, or Space).\nTab is checked by default. If you are not using tabs to separate data, uncheck this box. Otherwise, the wizard will automatically detect the spaces in your text as tabs and separated it into columns.\nIf you don't see the character you need, select Other and type the character into the field.\nSelect \"Treat consecutive delimiters as one\" if the delimiter consists of more than one character between data fields or if you have multiple delimiter characters.\nOptionally, you can select none of these options if you don't want to separate any of the data entries into columns. <img> Adjust your Fixed Width preferences and click Next. If you selected Fixed width, use the on-screen instructions to adjust your line breaks in the Preview section.\nTo add a break line, click at any location.\nDouble-click a break line to delete it.\nDrag any of the lines to move it. <img> Click Finish. This takes you back to the Import window, where you'll be asked where you'd like to place the imported text. <img> Select a worksheet and click OK. The text file is now imported into your Excel worksheet. You can edit this data as you would any other Excel data, such as using it to create graphs or pivot tables. <img> Save the file. Now that you've imported your text file, you can save it in the Excel format. Just press Control + S (PC) or Command + S (Mac) on the keyboard to save your changes to the workbook you've opened, or click File > Save As to create a new file containing your data. <img> " ]

[ "Write down a list of your strengths and weaknesses. It's difficult to put yourself out there without healthy self-esteem and a sense of confidence, and shyness is common in middle school. A big part of self-confidence is being more aware of yourself. Writing down a list of your strengths and weaknesses can help you uncover your best attributes. Play these up when interacting with a boy you like.\nFor example, if you have a great smile, be sure to use it often around the boy. Identifying your weaknesses can help you make improvements. \nYou always want your conversations and interactions to be authentic. If you aren't true to yourself, the guy you like will probably pick up on that and may not be interested. <img> Smile and make eye contact. Along with confidence, one of the best ways to make yourself more noticeable to a boy is to look approachable. Smiling gives the instant impression that you are friendly and approachable. Making eye contact is also important, but be careful not to stare. \nIf you're listening to music, make sure to take your earbuds out so that you look approachable. <img> Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. A big part of confidence is looking and feeling your best. It doesn't mean being overly fancy, just wear clothes that make you happy and it will be easy to project a confident image to the boy you like. For example, if you feel comfortable and attractive in certain outfits, wear them when you know you will see him. <img> Pursue your own interests. It can be easy to get wrapped up in having a crush on a boy in middle school, but spending some time on your own interests, such as sports, clubs, or other hobbies, can make you look more confident with yourself. Pursuing your interests may even give you something to talk about with the boy you're trying to impress. <img> Try not to compare yourself to others. Nothing kills confidence faster than comparing yourself to your peers. It's easy to feel inadequate when thinking about what you don't have, so it's important to minimize these feelings if you want to get the attention of a boy you like.\nBe cautious when it comes to social media. Many teens spend a lot of time projecting a particular image through their social media profiles, but this is often an exaggeration. Try not to dwell on what your peers are posting on social media because it can harm your self-esteem. <img> ", "Get to know him. If you aren't sure if he likes you or not, trying to become friends first may be the way you want to go. Get to know him a bit, spend time with him, and find some common ground. Ask him about his hobbies or how he likes to spend his time and open up a bit. Keep it casual. \nListening and asking questions is the best way to connect with someone.\nFind common interests. If there are activities you both enjoy, you'll have more reasons to spend time with him. Ask him what kind of music he likes to see if he has similar interests. You can even talk about classes you have together.\nSpend time with his friends. This may help you learn more about him. <img> Get a little closer to him, but don't overdo it. If you have a crush on this boy and are trying to be friends first, be careful not to come on too strong. As you get to know him better, reveal some more personal information about yourself. However, if he isn't also telling you about himself, you may want to stay more remote instead of opening up. Don't spill your soul.\nHave inside jokes and secrets with him. This is a great way to open up to each other and can help you gauge his sense of humor. Having inside jokes allows you to establish common ground and can strengthen your friendship.\nAsk him if he has a crush! After you've gotten to know each other and share a certain level of trust, you may feel comfortable enough to ask him if he has a crush. This can move the relationship forward if he's interested in you! Be sure to ask at a time when it flows naturally; do not force it into an unrelated conversation.\nIf he isn't interested, don't be visibly upset. Put your best foot forward; you can still be friends and his feelings about you may change over time. <img> Let him see your best self. As you become friends and spend more time together, let your confidence show. If you try too hard to be someone you're not, he won't get to know the real you. Don't be afraid to be yourself. He'll be impressed by how cool, understanding, and fun you are. <img> ", "Identify why you like this boy. Be sure it isn't all about his looks. Get to know him first so you can be sure he isn't a jerk. Take opportunities to chat with him in class or in the hallways. Without getting to know him, you may eventually realize you don't have anything in common. Maybe you enjoy his positive attitude or sense of humor. <img> Don't be nervous about talking to him. After working on your confidence and identifying why you like the boy, it's time to jump in and talk to him! Make sure you talk about things he likes, or the conversation may die quickly. For example, if he's on a sports team, tell him he played well. If you're still feeling shy, find ways to be around him in a group because he still might notice you if you smile and make eye contact. <img> Get to know his friends. They can be sources of information, such as if he likes you or the kinds of things that interest him. Ask them about activities they enjoy doing together.You can even talk about classes you have together or ask for help in a certain subject. Then you can use this information to make conversation with the boy you're trying to impress.\nIf his friends reveal anything personal about him, be careful not to mention this to him. He may think you're prying. <img> Find an excuse to get his number. After talking to him for a little while, an opportunity to ask for his number may come on its own. For example, if you're working on a class project together, that's the perfect time to ask.\nConnect with him on social media if he doesn't have a cell phone. If he doesn't have his own phone where you can call and text him, he might be active on social media. Mention Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and add him on those sites. Mention previous conversations or something he might find interesting if you're looking for a way to initiate a dialogue on social media. <img> Don't be too forward. Just a little bit of flirtation will get the message across. You don't want the guy to think that you'd flirt with just anyone. Make him feel special about getting some attention from you.\nDon't talk about other guys. While you may not mean anything by it, this could send the wrong message to the boy you're trying to impress. He may think you're interested in someone else. <img> " ]

[ "Gather your materials. Clear off a table and lay out the necessary materials for the card. For a basic birthday card, you'll need:\nConstruction paper or cardstock and stationery\nColoring utensils such as markers, crayons, and colored pencils\nGlue\nStickers\nRubber stamps or other images such as photographs, magazine pictures, or images from cards that have already been used <img> Create the shape of the card. Take a piece of construction paper and fold it into quarters.\nDepending on how large or small you want to card to be, you can also use a piece of good quality cardstock (A4 size), cut it in half, and then fold it down the middle.\nIf you have an envelope you'd like to use for the card, fold the paper so it will fit inside the envelope. Leave at the very least 1/8\" (.3 cm) on all sides so the card can slide easily in and out of the envelope. <img> Choose a design for the card. Customize the card design based on who the card is for and the materials you have available. Keep in mind you have the front and inside of the card to decorate, so perhaps you want to include a simple design or image on the front of the card and a more personal or detailed design inside the card.\nThink of a riddle or poem. You can compose a limerick, look up a line from your favorite poem, or find a funny riddle.\nDraw a picture of a person the card receiver admires or likes. You can also cut out and paste a picture of a person or of the card receiver. Add a thought or speech bubble over the picture and include a funny message or saying.\nTurn the card a mini graphic novel. Divide the card into a grid and tell a little story.\nChoose a quote or saying based on a personal moment with the person, such as the first time you met them, or something they did on their last birthday. <img> Add embellishments like stickers, stamps, or fabric. Tailor the card’s decorative details to the recipient.\nFor example, if it’s your dad’s birthday and he likes to fish, you could add a stamped fisherman image and a piece of string glued to a fishing rod and anchor it to a drawing of a big fish on the front of the card.\nBright colors are vivid and fun; muted colors are classy and more sophisticated. A card for a child may be filled with bright colors, stamped animals, and whimsical phrases while a card for a teenager or adult may be more muted and simple.\nUse your own handwriting or a computer generated greeting such as \"Happy Birthday!” on different coloured paper. Cut it out and paste it to the basic card template.\nAdd the person's name to the card to make it more special and personal. <img> Include a pop out to the card to give it something extra. Making a basic pop-out card is actually fairly straightforward and simple to do.\nChoose a level of difficulty that suits your skills and time. <img> ", "Fold a piece of cardstock into thirds. Start off with a 8.5\" x 11\" (21.5 x 29 cm) sheet of cardstock and then trim it down as you see fit.\nMake even, firm creases when you fold the cardstock so the card looks professional and well made. If possible, use a bone folder to make even creases.\nIf your creases aren't even, start over on a new piece of cardstock. <img> Cut a window into the middle panel. The middle panel will become the front of the card later. The size of the item you want to display in the window will determine the size of the window.\nGenerally, the window should be less than half the size of the card. <img> Position a display item on the card, facedown. A display item could be another piece of pretty paper or embroidery, a doily, or a photograph.\nChoose an item that fits with the overall theme of the card that will look nice in the display window.\nTo add a ribbon, use a hole punch to make two holes in the middle panel, above or below the window. Thread your ribbon through the holes and tie it into a bow. The bow should be facing away from you when you lay the card down. <img> Adhere the display item to the cardstock with glue or tape. Run glue or tape along the edges of the item to make sure it is secure in the display window.\nMake sure the glue or tape is on straight and isn’t visible from the front of the display window. <img> Place a piece of double-sided tape below the item and at the edge of the side panel. Fold over the side panel, while also pressing the tape in place.\nYour item is now sandwiched between the two panels and the middle has become the front. The left side is now the left inside panel of your two-paneled card. <img> Write in the card. Feel free to write on both sides or only one side of the card.\nTry to create a message that matches the display item. If it’s a cute or funny image, include a cute or funny message. If it's a simple or elegant image, include a simple or elegant message. The tone of your card should be consistent with the theme of the card.\nFor a cleaner look, create a \"Happy Birthday\" message in a word processor program and then print and cut it out and include it in the card. <img> ", "Gather your materials. Find an envelope, a nice piece of wallpaper, and a sheet of cardstock. Ideally, your envelope color should match the color of your wallpaper.\nThe size of your envelope will determine how much wallpaper you will need.\nYour wallpaper, when folded in half, needs to be at least 1/8\" (.3 cm) smaller on all sides than the envelope. To easily determine if the wallpaper is the right size, trace two envelopes on the back of the wallpaper. <img> Cut out your wallpaper. Then, fold it in half. If the wallpaper curls, place it under a book or paper weight overnight so it can flatten out. <img> Get a piece of cardstock and cut it so it is a bit smaller than your wallpaper. Adhere the cardstock to the back of the wallpaper with glue or double-sided tape.\nUse your hand to smooth out any bubbles or creases.\nSome wallpaper comes with a sticky backing. If this is the case, simply peel off the backing and attach the wallpaper to the cardstock. <img> Add a personal message. Choose a saying, phrase, or joke that the recipient will appreciate on their birthday.\nUse a nice pen or pencil to write a message or saying.\nFor a cleaner look, use a word processor to create a message in a nice font and then print it out to attach to the inside of the card. <img> " ]
