How to Measure Without a Ruler | [

] | [
"Check your wallet for currency to use as a mini ruler. All US and EU currency is a standard size. Keep in mind that not all euro banknotes have the same dimensions.\nAll US bills are 2.61 inches (6.6 cm), or roughly 6 inches (15 cm).\nA US quarter is .96 inches (2.4 cm) long, or roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm).\nA 5 euro bill is 120 millimetres (4.7 in) long, and a 50 euro bill is 140 millimetres (5.5 in) long and about 3 inches (76 mm) wide. <img> Pull out a credit card or business card to use as a rough guide. You can measure objects by placing the card alongside the object. Then compare the size of the card to the size of the object.\nA standard credit card is 3.375 inches (8.57 cm) long.\nA standard business card is 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) long and 2 inches (5.1 cm) wide. <img> Find a sheet of printer paper. Standard US and Canadian printer paper is 8.5 inches (22 cm) by 11 inches (28 cm). Standard printer paper outside of the US and Canada is 210 millimetres (8.3 in) by 297 millimetres (11.7 in). <img> Print out an online ruler. There are many basic templates that can be found online. This is an easy solution, but will only work if you have access to a printer. <img> Use the sheet of printing paper as a makeshift measuring tool. If you don't have access to a printer and the piece of printer paper isn't standard sized, the paper can still be useful if you determine its size. The dimensions of printer paper can often be found on the front of its packaging. Then, compare the size of that paper with the object you're measuring. <img> ",
"Know your hand length and hand span. Your hands are always handy. Knowing the size of your palm and fingers can make it easy to measure small objects of various sizes.\nTo find your hand length, hold your hand flat like you are raising your hand, then measure from the tip of your third finger to the base of your palm.\nTo find your hand span, stretch your fingers as wide as possible then measure from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinkie. <img> Remember your shoe size. This is more helpful for measuring out longer distances, like the dimensions of a room. By running a search online for shoe size conversion charts, you can easily convert your shoe size to inches and centimeters.\nYour shoe size can also sometimes be located on the tongue, or the inner topmost part of your shoe. <img> Learn your arm span or height. These two measurements should be roughly the same. Using those measurements, you can measure things vertically by standing straight, or horizontally by simply stretching your arms out. <img> "

"Open the Find My Device website. Go to https://www.google.com/android/find in your computer's web browser.\nIf you have a Samsung phone or tablet, you'll need to use Samsung's website instead. <img> Log into your Google account. When prompted, enter your Gmail address, click NEXT, enter your password, and click NEXT.\nIf you don't know your Google account's password, you'll need to recover it before proceeding. <img> Select your Android. If your Android isn't currently selected upon opening Find My Device, click it in the left-hand menu. <img> Click Lock. It's on the left side of the page, just below your Android's name. Doing so will open a pop-up window. <img> Enter a new password. Type a new password into the top text field, then repeat the password in the following text field. <img> Click Lock. It's at the bottom of the page. This will replace your Android's lock screen password with your new password. <img> Unlock your Android with the new password. Open your Android, then type in the password you just set. Doing so should prompt your Android to unlock. <img> ",
"Understand when this method will work. If you have a Samsung Galaxy (or other Samsung Android) which you've registered with Samsung, you will be able to use Samsung's version of Find My Device to unlock your Android.\nIf you don't have a Samsung Android or you haven't registered your Android with Samsung, you can't use this method. <img> Open Samsung's \"Find My Mobile\" site. Go to https://findmymobile.samsung.com/ in your computer's web browser. <img> Sign into your Samsung account. If prompted to sign in, click SIGN IN, then enter your email (or phone number) and password and click SIGN IN. <img> Click Unlock my Device. It's on the left side of the page.\nIf you have more than one Samsung Galaxy item, you may have to select the correct one by clicking the item name in the top-left corner of the page and then selecting the correct one in the drop-down menu. <img> Re-enter your Samsung password if prompted. If asked, you'll need to type in your Samsung account password again. This should unlock your Samsung Galaxy, though you may need to wait for a few seconds before the item recognizes the unlock.\nAfter the screen is unlocked, you should be able to set a new password from the Settings menu. <img> ",
"Know what this method entails. Factory resetting your Android will remove all settings—including your lock screen password—along with any contact and app information from your Android.\nUnfortunately, if your data isn't backed up, you won't be able to recover the information deleted by the factory reset. <img> Find your Android's \"Recovery\" combination. Every Android has its own combination of buttons which must be pressed in order to open the recovery menu; checking your Android's manual or online documentation should help you find this combination.\nFor example, Samsung users will typically use the Power, Home, and one of the Volume buttons to access the recovery menu. <img> Power down your Android. Press and hold the Power button, then tap Power off when prompted. This will cause your Android to shut down. <img> Press and hold the \"Recovery\" combination. Holding down your Android's recovery keys will prompt your Android to begin booting into the recovery console.\nIf you see a \"No command\" error message appear on-screen, keep holding the recovery combination for another 15 to 20 seconds. <img> Select Recovery mode. Once the recovery menu appears, use the Volume Down button to scroll down to the Recovery mode option, then press the Power button to select it.\nIf you don't see Recovery mode, skip this step.\nSee the next step if you're instead met with a \"No command\" screen. <img> Bypass the \"No command\" screen. If you're on a Pixel Android, press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time until the recovery screen opens. <img> Select Wipe data / factory reset. Scroll down to highlight this option, then press the Power button. <img> Select Yes -- delete all user data. It's in the middle of the screen. Doing so will prompt your Android to begin factory resetting. <img> Wait for your Android to finish wiping. Your Android should take under 10 minutes to completely erase. <img> Set up your Android. Once your Android finishes restarting, you can set it up as though it were a new phone or tablet.\nThis will usually include selecting a language and a Wi-Fi network. <img> Sign into your Google account. When prompted, enter the email address and the password for the Google account with which you were previously signed into your Android.\nIf you don't know the password for your Google account, use a computer to recover it before proceeding. <img> Complete your Android setup. After logging into your Google account, you can proceed with setting up the rest of your Android. <img> ",
"Know when to use this method. If you have a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP already installed on your Android, you may be able to use the custom recovery's file manager to delete the files which maintain the Android lock screen, thus removing the password in the process.\nYou cannot use this method if your Android doesn't already have a custom recovery installed. <img> Turn off your Android. Press and hold the Power button, then tap Power off in the pop-up menu. <img> Press and hold the \"Recovery\" combination. This button combination will vary from Android to Android, but will usually involve holding down some combination of the Power button, the Home button, and/or the Volume button(s).\nCheck your phone's documentation for the proper recovery combination if you don't know it.f <img> Open the Mount menu. You'll find this on the main custom recovery page. <img> Enable all locations. Check the box next to any folder location on your Android.\nDo not enable the \"Mount system partition read-only\" option if available. <img> Download and transfer the AROMA file manager. Tap the \"Back\" button, then do the following on a computer:\nClick the AROMA download link.\nWait for the ZIP folder to download.\nConnect your Android to your computer via a USB cable.\nIf you're on a Mac, you'll first need to install Android File Transfer.\nPlace the ZIP folder in your Android's \"Download\" folder. <img> Install AROMA file manager. This file manager will allow you to delete system files:\nOpen the Install menu.\nOpen the Download folder.\nSelect the AROMA file manager's ZIP folder.\nSwipe the \"Install\" slider right or select the Install option, then wait for a confirmation. <img> Navigate to the lock screen files' location. To do so:\nOpen the data folder.\nOpen the system folder.\nScroll down to view the system files below the list of folders. <img> Delete the lock screen files. Any files starting with \"gatekeeper\", \"locksettings\", and/or \"lockscreen\" pertain to your Android's lock screen, and thus must be deleted:\nLong-press a file name to select it.\nRepeat with other lock screen file names.\nTap the Menu button.\nTap Delete\n\nConfirm your choice if prompted. <img> Reboot your Android. Return to the main custom recovery screen, then select the Reboot option. Once your Android finishes rebooting, you should be able to open your Android without needing to enter a password. <img> ",
"Understand when to use this method. If you know your Android's regular passcode but can't unlock due to a third-party lock screen app, you can use Safe Mode to delete the lock screen app.\nSome apps will install malware apps which password-protect the lock screen. Using Safe Mode will allow you to delete these apps.\nKeep in mind that you'll need to know your Android's regular lock screen combination or passcode in order to complete this method. <img> Press and hold your Android's \"Power\" button. It's usually on the right side of the Android's housing. A menu will appear. <img> Long-press Power off. Doing so will prompt another pop-up menu to appear after a few seconds.\nOn a Samsung Galaxy, you'll instead tap Restart, then hold down the Volume Down button while the Android reboots. You can skip the next two steps. <img> Check the \"Reboot\" box. It should be at the top of the menu. <img> Tap OK. It's at the bottom of the menu. Doing so will prompt your Android to begin restarting. <img> Wait for your Android to reboot. Once your Android finishes rebooting, you should see \"Safe mode\" in the bottom-left corner of the screen.\nFor Samsung Galaxy Androids, remember to hold down the Volume Down button while rebooting to open Safe Mode. <img> Unlock your Android. Your third-party lock screen app won't load, so you'll just need to know your Android's usual lock screen passcode or password. <img> Open Settings. Swipe down from the top of the screen (you may need to use two fingers), then tap the gear-shaped Settings {\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/6\\/68\\/Android7settings.png\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/6\\/68\\/Android7settings.png\\/30px-Android7settings.png\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":460,\"bigWidth\":30,\"bigHeight\":30,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>I edited this screenshot of an Android icon.\\n<\\/p><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/en.wikipedia.org\\/wiki\\/Fair_use\\\">Fair Use<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"} icon in the drop-down menu. <img> Tap Apps. It's near the middle of the screen. <img> Select your third-party lock screen app. Scroll through the list of apps on your Android until you find the app which was locking your screen, then tap the app in question. <img> Tap UNINSTALL. It should be near the top of the screen. <img> Tap OK when prompted. This will prompt the app to uninstall without requiring a passcode.\nYou can restart your Android back into the normal mode by holding down the Power button and tapping Restart (or tapping Power off and then pressing the Power button again). <img> "

How to Go to a Strip Club | [
"nBjGpL4zEDfZ",
"Z0xtTGn4Nahh",
"c4BOBHx6aZFL"
] | [
"Make sure you have your ID and wallet. You’ll need to provide identification in order to enter a strip club. You’ll also need to have cash for tipping. Make sure you have your wallet with your ID so you’re able to get into the club, tip, purchase drinks, and pay for parking, if necessary.\nMost strip clubs have ATM machines inside, but they may charge you to use them. Pull out any cash that you think you’ll need ahead of time so you don’t need to pay to use the ATM. <img> Check to see if the club has a dress code by asking the bouncer. Some strip clubs will have specific policies regarding what you can wear into the club. For example, tank tops, large gold chains, or white shoes could be prohibited.\nA polo and jeans are usually fine to wear, but some clubs may have a different dress code.Tip: Call the strip club or check their website ahead of time to see if they have a dress code. <img> Ask the bouncer if there is a cover charge. Before you try to walk into a strip club, you need to know if you need to pay a charge to enter. Ask the bouncer or security person working the front door if there’s a cover charge or a drink minimum for you to enter the club.\nYou may need to pay the cover charge in cash only, so be sure to have at least $20 in cash on hand. <img> Show your ID to the bouncer. Near the entrance of the strip club will be a bouncer who is monitoring who comes and goes. Present your ID to them so they can make sure you’re old enough to enter. If the strip club has a cover charge, pay the bouncer to let you in.\nYou can use a driver’s license, official government ID, or even a passport to provide identification to the bouncer. <img> Order a drink at the bar when you get into the club. The drinks at strip clubs are often overpriced but are how the club makes much of its money because the dancers are often contract employees. Even if you’re not drinking alcohol, when you enter the club, head to the bar and order a drink to show that you plan to be a good customer.\nIf you don’t plan to drink alcohol, order a non-alcoholic cocktail like a cranberry juice with club soda and a lime.\nMany strip clubs have a drink minimum or require that you order a drink every 30 minutes in order to stay in the club. <img> Find a seating area for you and your group. After you’ve ordered a drink, look for a table or a seating area where you can relax. Don’t sit next to the stage unless you plan to continuously tip the dancers on stage.\nMake sure everyone in your group knows where your table or seating area is so they can find you if they get separated due to a private dance or a trip to the bar. <img> ",
"Check for posted rules of conduct. The rules and etiquette of strip clubs can vary widely, especially in regards to things like tipping and touching. Look for a posted sign on the wall that lists the rules of the club or ask a staff member so you don’t risk being kicked out for breaking a rule.\nFor example, in New Jersey, you can’t tip strippers while they’re on stage. You’re supposed to tip them afterward. <img> Be okay with saying “no” to a stripper or your friends. If you aren’t comfortable, you don’t want to spend money on a private dance, or you don’t want to buy a dancer a drink, it’s okay to say no. Don’t make up an excuse or feel pressured to give in.\nYou don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. Don’t feel the need to give in to peer pressure if your friends try to get you to do something that you’re not comfortable with.\nDon’t be rude or ignore them. You can simply say, “No, thank you.” <img> Ask the price before you agree to anything. To avoid getting suckered into expensive dances, drinks, or promotions, it’s important that you directly ask the price of a service beforehand. Don’t wait until after a private dance to discuss the price or you could be overcharged.\nFor example, if a dancer offers to give you a private dance in a VIP room, you can ask something like, “That sounds fun! How much would that cost?” <img> Respect the dancers, bouncers, and bartenders. Strippers are human beings who deserve respect just like anybody else. Don’t be rude, dismissive, or insulting to anybody that works at the strip club.\nDon’t ask for a dancer’s phone number or out on a date.\nIf a dancer denies your request or walks away from you, don’t be offended or chase after them.\nMany dancers enjoy working at a strip club. Don’t try to “save” them or get them to leave their job. <img> Don’t ask the dancers for their real names. Most dancers have alter egos that they’ve developed for the strip club and prefer to keep their personal information and lives private. Don’t be rude and insist on getting their names or information about their lives outside of the strip club.\nRespect the wishes of the dancers. If they say they’re uncomfortable with something, don’t get pushy or upset. <img> Avoid drinking too much alcohol. Getting wasted is never a good look, even at a strip club where drinks are served and you’re encouraged to let loose. It’s also risky to get so drunk that you don’t know where you are or you make poor decisions and spend too much money.Tip: Drink plenty of water in between drinks so you stay hydrated and coherent. It will also help reduce the hangover that may be waiting for you the next day. <img> ",
"Park in a secure location if you drive. Some strip clubs will have a private parking lot that is monitored by security. If you’re going to a strip club at night, make sure you park somewhere nearby and visible so you can return to your car safely.\nCriminals may believe that you have cash on you if you’re leaving a strip club. Be safe and park somewhere visible and near the bouncers or security of the strip club. <img> Designate a driver if you plan to drink. Many people go to a strip club to relax and have fun. Drinking alcohol is often a part of going to a strip club. If you do plan to drink and you drove to the strip club, make sure you have someone sober to drive home when you leave.Tip: If you don’t have a designated driver and you drink too much, leave your car at the strip club and call a cab. <img> Take an Uber or a Lyft if everyone in your group plans to drink. Using a ridesharing app is a great way to save costs on parking and make sure you and your friends get to the strip club and get home safely. Download a ridesharing app to your smartphone to order a ride to the strip club and then home when the night is over.\nSave on costs by sharing a ride with one of your friends. <img> Don’t leave anyone from your group behind if they’ve been drinking. If you get separated from a member of your group or if they drink too much and insist on staying when the rest of the party is ready to go, don’t leave them behind or they could get themselves hurt or worse. Leave together so everyone gets home safe.\nThey may spend money that they shouldn’t spend.\nBecause they’re at a strip club, people will assume that he has cash on him and try to take advantage of him. He could end up getting robbed as well. <img> "

How to Read a Water Bill | [
"mHsT4et8Phqv",
"D4fcvmRVhBHm",
"aU1U4spm7pPP"
] | [
"Find the payment total at the top of the bill. Look on the top ⅓ of the bill paper to see your payment for the month. While the format will differ depending on your billing company, you can usually find the surcharge in bolded text in a prominent section of the bill. Try to find this information first, as it’s the most important part of your water bill.\nSome companies use the term “Total Account Balance,” while others will say “Total Amount Due” or “Total Current Charges.”\nIf you have an overdue payment from a previous month, that additional bill will be included in your total charges. <img> Search near the payment for your account information. Before filling out the payment form, check that all of your personal information is listed correctly on the bill. Near the top of the form, look for your name, address, email, phone number, and account number. If any of this information looks incorrect, contact your water billing company right away.\nIf the wrong address is listed, there’s a chance that your water usage isn’t being recorded correctly.\nSome companies will list how long you’ve been a customer. <img> Spot the billing company’s contact information near the top. Look in the top-left corner of your water bill to find the logo and company name of your water provider. Take note of the business’s address, as well as their website and phone number. If you have any questions about your bill, use these lines of communication to reach out.\nSome water providers have a specific hotline for payment options. <img> Double-check the billing date on your form. Search near the “Total Amount Due” to find the deadline for your water bill payment. Try to submit the payment by the specified date; if you don’t, you may be issued a late fee, or the charges could carry over to your next water bill. If you aren’t sure when your water billing cycle begins and ends, check the “billing period” on the form, which is listed near your account information.\nSome bills will specify when the bill was mailed out, which can help give you a more accurate payment timeline. <img> Cut off and fill out the bottom portion of the form to pay your bill. Use a pair of scissors to remove the payment portion of the payment form. Place this slip, along with a check, in an envelope addressed to your water provider. When filling out your check, follow the instructions provided on the water bill to make your payment out to the correct group.\nOnly mail in the bottom portion of the bill. You can save the top ¾ of the document as a receipt, if you’d like.\nChecks are a common way to pay your water bill. When using this form of payment, be sure to record the check number and date paid on the receipt.\nCheck online to see if your service provider accepts payment through credit card. If so, use the online portal provided to input your card information. As a reference, jot down the confirmation number of the digital payment as well as the date you paid it. <img> ",
"Find the usage charges to see how much water you used. Look beneath your base service charge to see how much water your household used throughout the billing period. Note that most companies use centum cubic feet (CCF or HCF) to measure water usage, with each CCF having a unit cost.\nOne CCF or HCF is equal to 748 gallons (2,830 L) of water.\nFor example, if your water provider charges $3 for every CCF of water used, then the total amount of water you use each month will be multiplied by that base amount. If you use 15 CCF of water during a billing period, you’ll be charged $45 on your water bill.\nYou can also find the water meter reading in the usage section of your water bill. This can give you a more exact idea of how much water you used.Did you know? Most American households use at least 300 gallons (1,100 L) each day. During the summer, this amount increases to almost 1,000 gallons (3,800 L) per day. <img> Examine the provided graph to see your monthly water usage. Search in the middle of your water bill to find a bar or line graph detailing your monthly water usage. Check the X-axis of the graph to view the water usage of a specific month, and the Y-axis to determine the total CCF of water. You might also see a projected estimate included in the graph.\nThis graph is a great way to monitor your water usage and make changes in your household for future months. <img> See if your bill includes a graph of your neighbor’s water usage. Check for a more complex graph, which uses a bar graph and line graph to compare your water usage to your general neighborhood. Follow the graph key to see which tier you fall under, as compared to your neighbors.\nThis doesn’t include data on specific households, but gives you a general idea of how much water you use compared to others nearby. <img> Study different tier levels to see how well you manage your water. Scan the middle section of your water bill to find a chart of 5 different tiers. Next, examine the chart to see which tier your household falls into. In future water bills, try to fall into tiers 1 or 2, which shows that you don’t use too much water. If your water usage falls into tier 3 or above, then you‘re using unnecessary amounts of water.\nExtra, unnecessary water usage can increase your water bill.\nNot all water bills will include a tier chart. <img> ",
"Check online to see which rate plan is used to charge your water bill. Depending on your water provider, you might have a uniform, increasing, or seasonal rate that determines the cost of your water. Go to water bill section of your town or city’s website to see if you’re charged at a uniform, an increasing block, a declining block, or other type of rate. If you can’t find the exact information, call your water provider directly so you can find out.\nA uniform rate has a constant, unchanging price for each unit of water, while increasing and decreasing block rates change throughout the year.\nSeasonal rates charge you on a bimonthly basis, and are used to motivate customers to save water. Drought rates, on the other hand, change depending on how much water is available.\nSome providers might use a Water Budget Based Rate, which charges based on the size of the household and property. <img> Look at the service or system charge to see your basic utility costs. Search along the middle of the form to find a list of different fees, taxes, and other charges related to your water bill. At the top of this list, find a fee that’s labeled as a “Usage Charge,” “Service Charge,” System Charge,” or something similar. Note that this fee is a base payment to your water provider, and doesn’t have to do with your water usage.\nMany providers charge by a daily basis, then multiply this daily fee by the number of days in the billing period.\nFor instance, if a billing company charges $0.50 on a 30-day cycle, then your service charge will be $15. <img> Note that pumping charges have to do with your home’s location. If you live in isolated or elevated place, you might have additional pumping charges show up on your bill. Like your usage fee, a pumping charge has a unit cost for every CCF of water.\nFor instance, if your water provider charges $0.15 to pump 1 CCF of water to your home, this unit cost will be multiplied by the total CCF of water that you use each month.\nUsage and pumping charges are calculated using the same data; however, pumping charges are far less expensive than usage charges. <img> Identify any sewer service charges on your water bill. Note that most water companies include a base fee for regular sewer maintenance, as well as additional sewer service fees. Depending on where you live, you might also notice a charge for storm drain maintenance in your bill. Generally, these additional sewer charges are calculated after sewage from your home’s sewage system is processed, filtered, and analyzed.\nIf your household generates a lot of sewage, your additional charges will probably be higher. <img> Search for additional charges and taxes on the bill. Depending on your region, you might have extra taxes and charges added to your bill. If you don’t recognize these charges, visit your city’s official website for more information on your water bill.\nFor instance, some cities add safe drinking water loans, purchased water fees, and groundwater fees into the total bill. <img> "

How to Cut Balsa Wood | [
"ix4C2TwgIr2r",
"6wkWvECMgoId"
] | [
"Place the pieces of balsa you want to cut on a flat work surface. Choose a work surface that you don’t mind making cut marks on when you cut through the balsa wood. A work bench or a scrap piece of plywood on top of a table are good choices.Tip: Balsa wood that is ⁄8–⁄4 in (0.32–0.64 cm) thick is a good thickness to start with if you are new to cutting balsa wood.\n\nYou can get balsa wood strips at a hobby or craft store. They are typically sold in sheets intended for making models. <img> Use a stencil or template to draw a pattern on the wood if you have one. There are lots of templates online that you can use as stencils for your balsa wood. Find one that you want to use and print it out on stiff paper so it is easier to use.\nIf you don’t know what you want to make out of the balsa wood yet, here are some ideas: gliders, airplanes, boats, model houses, and even bridges.\nIf you can’t find a premade stencil you like, then you can draw your own by hand or on the computer. Keep in mind that some pieces will need to intersect if you want to create a 3D model, so you will have to cut some slots to fit them together as well as the general shapes. <img> Use a ruler or other utensil to draw your own lines if you don’t have a pattern. Geometry utensils like protractors, squares, and rulers will help you create straight, angled, and curved lines on the balsa wood if you just want to freehand a design instead of using a stencil. Purchase a geometry set that comes with a variety of utensils that you can use for this.\nYou can use the utensils to help you cut perfectly along the lines you draw with them. You can also use them to help you cut along the lines of a stencil once you draw it onto a piece of balsa wood.\nRemember to create notches and slots if you want to fit things together to build 3D models. <img> Mark the lines with a fine-tipped pen or sharp pencil. Trace inside your stencils or along your other utensils carefully with a pen or pencil to mark your cut lines on the balsa wood. Go over the lines a second time if you need to in order to make them stand out clearly on the wood.\nA pencil will allow you to erase your marks and start over if you make any mistakes. Only use a pen if you are very sure of yourself! <img> ",
"Hold the tip of a craft or utility knife at a 45-degree angle to the wood. Holding the blade of the knife at an angle will allow the blade to cut most effectively. Use a brand-new knife blade for the best results when cutting balsa wood.\nYou can get a craft knife at a hobby shop, craft store, or online. Alternatively, a standard retractable utility knife will also work. <img> Begin your cuts on a part of the line that crosses the grain of the wood. Always start on a part of the line that is perpendicular to the grain of the wood (or close to being perpendicular). Balsa wood is very delicate and it’s easy to break if you start by cutting with the grain.\nYou can make all the cuts that cross the grain first (either perpendicularly or at an angle), and save all the cuts that are more or less with the grain for the end. <img> Pass the knife along the lines without cutting through on the first pass. Don’t try to cut all the way through on the first pass. Just focus on following the lines you marked and apply very light pressure to make a shallow groove on the first pass.Tip: Try to make the first pass for your cuts no deeper than ⁄32 in (0.079 cm).\n\nYou can use a ruler or other straight edge to guide your knife along straight cuts. If you drew any lines with a curved utensil, like a protractor, you can also use that to help guide your cuts.\nDon't use a stencil to guide your cuts, as they generally aren't sturdy enough. Just use stencils for drawing the designs. <img> End your cuts on a part of the line that runs parallel to the grain. Always try to finish your cuts where the lines are most parallel to the grain of the wood. Stop at the end of the line if there is no place where it becomes parallel to the grain.\nIf your lines are mostly straight, then start with all the cuts that are perpendicular to the grain, and join the cuts that are parallel to the grain with them after. <img> Keep passing your knife along the lines 2-5 more times until you cut through. Repeat the steps as many times as you need to until you have cut out the shapes from your balsa wood. This will be about 2-5 passes of the knife along the lines, depending on the thickness of the wood and how much pressure you are applying.\nBe patient when you are cutting balsa. It’s better to pass the knife over your lines more times using less pressure. If you get impatient and apply too much pressure, you can end up breaking the balsa. <img> Sand the edges of the pieces smooth with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper. Carefully sand the edges of each piece after you cut them out. This will help all the pieces fit together and look better when you assemble them for whatever you are building.\nIf you have pieces that are the exact same shape and size, you can stack them together and sand all the edges at once. <img> "

How to Warm Yourself Up | [
"cffRufaAjXk7",
"8ViLkK1Ep9eG"
] | [
"Wear warm clothing. The best way to keep warm is to wear appropriate clothing. If you are going to be outside, wear layers. Layering is the best way to keep warm.\nYou should have three layers of insulation. For the first layer, wear thermals, long johns, or material that wicks away moisture. For the mid layer, wear thick materials, such as fleece and down. For the outer layer, wear a material that protects you from snow, rain, and wind.\nYour layers should be loose instead of confining. You want to avoid sweating, because sweating creates moisture, which makes you colder. <img> Cover every part of yourself. Wear a hat, a scarf, and gloves. Forgetting a scarf can make you much colder because you lose a lot of heat through your neck. Only wearing one layer of pants is a major mistake people make. Wear thermal pants, fleece tights, and leg warmers under your jeans. Wear multiple pair of socks with winter weather boots. Make sure one pair of socks is a closely fitting wool. <img> Create friction. If you don't have warm clothes, or if you're wearing layers but are still cold, create friction on the cold parts of your body. That generates some heat. Rub your arms or legs and try to create as much friction as you can.\nIf it is possible, put your arms inside of your shirt and keep them there. You have become a larger mass and are therefore retaining more heat as the heat radiates off of the clothing and both of your arms. If you are wearing long sleeves put one arm in one sleeve and vice versa.\nBecome the largest mass you can. Put your arms and hands under your legs or use the shirt technique. But do not separate yourself; the most heat is conducted when many things are together and can mutually share and give off heat. <img> Move your arms and legs around. To get your feet and hands warm, get some blood pumping into them. If your feet are cold, try moving your leg back and forth 30-50 times. Make sure when you move that you include the thigh muscle and that you swing the leg in wide arcs. To warm up your arms, move your arms in large 360 degree circular movements. Make sure to engage your entire arm in the movement.\nOne reason why your hands and feet get cold is because your core is pulling all the heat towards it, leaving your hands and feet bloodless and heatless. Wear vests and more layers over your torso if your hands and feet are constantly cold.\nIf your extremities like your nose or hands are cold, then blow on them. Use hot, warm air generated from the back of your throat for your hands. For your nose, you may want to clasp your hand over your nose. Not only will you warm your nose, but you will also warm your hands with the warm air from your nose. <img> Huddle up. Body heat is transferred between people. The bigger mass attracts more heat. Other people give off lots of body heat. If you are stranded with someone else, cuddle close together to stay warm. <img> ",
"Drink warm beverages. Drinking hot tea, coffee, and soup activates heat sensors along your digestive tract, which gives a warming sensation. Tea and coffee have many health benefits, so as long as you skip heavy creams, sugars, and marshmallows, you are putting good antioxidants into your body as you heat it. Soup has the added benefit of being low in calories.\nDrinking hot beverages also can warm your hands. Wrapping your cold hands around a mug of hot tea can warm you up in minutes. <img> Eat ginger. Ginger is a natural way to get warm, with tons of beneficial side effects. Ginger works as a stimulant, which gets the blood circulating and makes your body temperature rise. It warms you from the inside. Try drinking ginger in tea, eating gingerbread or gingersnap cookies, or sprinkling it into other dishes.\nTry putting ginger powder in shoes, slippers, or socks if you cannot get your feet warm. <img> Cook. Using the oven and crock pot helps warm up the kitchen by cooking at lower temperatures for a longer period of time. Casseroles, stews, and soups all warm the body when they are eaten. <img> Take a hot bath. Soaking in a hot tub raises your body temperature. If you are cold, try soaking in hot water, or take a hot shower if you prefer. After you take the shower, dry off as quickly as possible and put on long sleeves and pants to trap the heat on your body, helping to keep you warm.\nTry saunas and steam rooms to warm up, if you have access to them. <img> Eat healthy fats. One reason for poor body temperature regulation is a low body fat ratio. Fat is needed to insulate your body. Eat a diet with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, found in foods such as nuts, salmon, avocados, and olive oil. <img> Clean. Doing chores around the house gets you moving, which gets your blood pumping. When your blood starts circulating, your core temperature rises. Vacuum, dust, and sweep to warm yourself.\nWashing dishes can help warm you significantly. Fill the sink with warm water. Leaving your hands in the warmth while you wash and rinse the dishes will help raise your body temperature.\nDoing laundry can also help you fight the cold. The warmth from the dryer can help warm your cold hands and arms. Taking clothes right out of the dryer and putting them on can warm you. <img> Exercise. Exercise gets your blood pumping, which helps warm you up. Run, lift weights, do yoga, or any kind of movement that gets you to work up a sweat.\nIf you are unable to do large scale exercise, do a much smaller form of physical exertion like jostling your legs or moving your arms.\nPractice Ashtanga yoga to warm yourself up. This form of yoga takes you through poses and breathing exercises that generate internal body heat.\nCold right now with no time for yoga classes? Try this simple yoga warming pose: the cobra. Lie face down on the floor. Place your palms near your chest. Push up, lifting your head, shoulders, and chest. Pull your shoulder blades down and together. Hold for a few seconds, then lower. Do a few reps to feel warmer. <img> Breathe through your nose. When you breathe through your nose, the air is warmed, which helps raise your body temperature. Try breathing in and holding for four seconds before exhaling. Repeat a few times to warm yourself. <img> Be social. According to a study done at the University of Toronto, people who are lonely or excluded feel colder. Spending time with people makes you feel warmer. Instead of staying alone in front of the television, get together with a friend or family member. <img> "

How to Tell Your Crush You Like Him Without Words | [

"Make eye contact—and then break it. One way to let your crush see that you like him without opening your mouth is to simply lock eyes with him. Make eye contact for just one or two seconds—just enough time to show you’re paying attention—and then look down at the floor or just avert your gaze. This will show your crush that you like him without being too obvious; if you simply stare at him, that may be coming on too strong.\nYou can try this trick just one or two times when you’re in the same room together, whether you’re at a party or in class. Just try to be subtle about it; you don’t want him to catch you staring too many times!\nYou can even give him a small flirtatious smile to go along with the look. <img> Smile. You don’t need to give your crush an ear-to-ear grin to show him that you’re interested. Simply look at him, give him a small smile, and then look away or start a conversation with him. Your smile shouldn’t be too big or eager, or he may just think you’re being friendly; instead, try to be a little bit mysterious when you smile at him, so you play coy while letting him know you’re interested.\nIf you really want to up your flirtation factor, you can even learn to smile with your eyes. <img> Turn your body toward your crush. Another way to let your crush know you like him is through some simple open body language. If your body is “open,” that means that you’re standing tall, face your crush, turn your feet and shoulders toward him, and keep your arms out instead of crossed over your chest. This shows your crush that you’re interested in him and that you like being around him. The next time you’re standing next to him or sitting next to him, make sure you’re turning your body in his direction so he sees that you like him.\nFor example, if you’re talking to him and cross your legs, make sure your crossed leg is crossed toward him, not away, so you have more of an open posture. <img> Move closer to him. Another way to show your crush that you like him is to simply move a bit closer to him, whether you’re talking to him or just hanging out at the same party. You don’t need to be too forward or start close-talking or making him uncomfortable, but you should show him that you like him by simply gravitating toward him in social situations. Without being clingy, you can show your crush that you like him simply by paying a bit more attention than you do to other guys by standing next to him, sitting by him, or making sure you get a chance to chat when you’re in a small group.\nWhen you do talk to him, you can make an effort to stand a bit closer or to sit a bit closer to him as the conversation progresses. If he doesn’t move away but moves toward you, then this may be a sign that he returns your feelings. <img> Break the touch barrier. If you want to tell your crush you like him without blurting it out completely, one thing you can do is to give him a light touch or two. If you’re talking to him or pass by him, you can give him a light touch on the shoulder or upper arm, or even playfully swat his arm if he’s teasing you. If you’re standing or sitting next to him, you can casually let your feet or knees touch from time to time to show him that you want to get closer.\nJust a bit of physical attention will let your crush know that you like him. You don’t need to push it too far; just touching him once or twice during a conversation will show him that you like him. <img> Look your best. Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to dress to the nines or put on a ton of makeup to get your crush’s attention. However, it does mean that you should look and feel beautiful, fresh, and clean when you talk to your crush; putting an effort into your appearance will give you a boost of confidence, and it will also show your crush that you want to make a good impression on him. Make sure to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and not to pretend to be someone you’re not.\nIf you’re hanging out with your crush and just a small group of people, dressing up will show him that you’ve put some thought into how you look for him, which may indicate that you do have a crush on him. <img> ",
"Become friends. One way to show the guy you like him is to try to be his friend. As long as you don’t get into the friend zone, this will show that you’re taking a real interest in him. Ask him questions about his life, share his interests, and just spend some time around him, whether you’re working on a group project or hanging out with friends. Just make sure he doesn’t see you as a kid sister or one of the guys, and don’t fall into the role of the person who hears about his romantic troubles.\nBecoming his friend will show him that you want to get closer to him. This can be a great way to show him you like him, especially if you don’t have many other guy friends. It also helps you get to know the guy before jumping head-first into a relationship. Often, crushes can come about on a whim, and our actions can be impulsive. Friendship is a great way to test yourself to see if you are committed before a relationship blossoms.\nTake it slow. If you don’t know him very well, start with a simple conversation and work your way up to hanging out. <img> Don’t show off. If you want to tell your crush you like him, then you should show him that you’re comfortable being yourself around him. If you find yourself bragging, talking about how great you are, telling exaggerated stories for laughs, or just doing something that doesn’t feel like you, then this won’t win your crush over. He’ll be more likely to think you have a real interest in him if you’re being yourself, opening up, and talking about your interests or your friends.\nRemember that, in the end, you want a guy who likes you for who you are. You don’t want him to like you for being someone else, because that will make it hard to start a real relationship while staying true to who you are. <img> Give him a small gift. A small gift can be a simple way to show your crush that you like him without coming on too strong. Simply get him something he’s mentioned or something you think he would like, such as a book or a CD. You can also be silly and get him something more practical, like a pack of pencils because you noticed that he never remembers to bring a pencil to class. You can write him a short note along with the gift and give it to him in person or leave it on his desk.\nOf course, this works best if you know him and are already friends; if you’ve never met, then giving him a gift may overwhelm him a little. <img> Ask him questions to show that you care. One way to tell your crush you like him is to show a genuine interest in him. To do this, you should simply ask him questions about his life and make an effort to really listen to the answers instead of planning your next move. Ask him about his weekend plans, his favorite sports teams, his school activities, his friends, or his favorite bands or movie stars to get a conversation going; this will show that you care about him as a person, and that you may have a little crush on him as well.\nYou can also ask him about his pets, his favorite movies, or his favorite things to do for fun.\nJust make sure not to ask too many personal questions at first or he may get uncomfortable.\nMake sure to share stuff about yourself too; you don’t want to sound like you’re interrogating him. <img> Tease him. Your crush will start to see that you like him if you start teasing him a bit. You don’t need to lay it on too thick to get the message across; just playfully tease him about his new haircut, his favorite sports team (especially if the team keeps losing), his obsession with his favorite band, or other things you know he won’t take too personally. This shows that you like him enough to engage him in a fun, lighthearted conversation.\nJust make sure he knows you’re teasing and that he takes it well. He may be too sensitive about his favorite sports team, for example, to think there’s anything funny about the fact that they keep losing.\nLet him see that you don’t tease just anybody. If he thinks that you tease all of his friends, too, then he won’t see that he’s special to you. <img> Help him out. Your crush will suspect that you like him if you start helping him out. You don’t need to go too far out of your way to help him, but making just a few small gestures can show him that you really do have a special interest in him. This can mean picking up his homework for him when he’s home sick, letting him borrow a textbook, or answering some questions that he may have. This can be a great way to show him you care as long as he doesn’t take advantage of you.\nIdeally, he should find a way to help you out, too. You don’t want him to think that you’ll just be there at his beck and call.\nLook for ways that you can help him; he may be too shy to do something like ask for him with the math homework, but you can offer to do it and see what he says. <img> Flirt with him. Flirting will definitely let your crush know that you’re into him. To flirt with him, you just have to tease him a bit, be playful, and show a special interest in him over all of the other guys in the room. You can play a little bit hard to get while letting him see that you do like him by smiling at him, laughing at his jokes, and going out of your way to make him see that you want to spend more time with him.\nFlirting can be a little tricky to master, but it basically means not taking yourself too seriously while you chat about lighthearted topics with your crush, letting him see that you want to know what he has to say while also teasing him a little bit.\nYou can lick your lips or play with your hair a bit while you talk to your crush to be a bit more playful. <img> ",
"Don’t have your friends tell him. If you do want your crush to know how much you like him, you should make sure to tell him yourself, even if you do it in a letter. While having your friends tell your crush how you feel may be easier, it will make you look like you’re not ready for a mature relationship or like you don’t feel comfortable talking to him yourself. Even if he does say that he likes you back, this won’t start your relationship off on the right foot.\nPlus, you don’t want him to feel annoyed by all of your friends surrounding him; respect his privacy and tell him about your feelings yourself. <img> Write him a note or a letter. If you’re too afraid to tell your crush you like him in person, then one thing you can do is to write him a short note or a longer letter letting him know how you feel. You can slide it into his locker or hand it to him. Tell him that you like him, give him a reason or two why if you want, and ask if he returns your feelings. This is a great way to directly tell him how you feel while taking off some of the pressure of having to do it in person.\nKeep it short and sweet. You don’t want to go into too much detail about how you like him without knowing whether or not he returns your feelings.\nYou can tell him the best way to contact you, either by telling him where he can leave his response or by giving him your number. <img> Call him. Another way to tell him that you like him is to give him a call and simply to tell him how you feel. Yeah, this technically means telling him how you feel with words, but if you find that telling him without words hasn’t been working for you, then it may be time to come out with it. Give him a call, take a deep breath, and quickly tell him how you feel and ask him if he returns your feelings. You’ll have your answer before you know it.\nJust say something like, “I’ve had a lot of fun hanging out with you for the past few weeks, and I want you to know that I like you. I wanted to know if you shared my feelings.” <img> Just tell him in person. If the idea of calling him to tell him your feelings doesn’t feel quite right, then you may just have to pick the right time and place to have the conversation in person. Just ask him if he can meet you in a place where you can be alone, make eye contact, and simply tell him how you feel. Give him some time to react and respond and try not to put the pressure on him; keep things lighthearted instead of sounding intense.\nYou can make a bit of small talk to make him comfortable, but don’t be afraid to jump in and share your feelings.\nYou can give him a small compliment or two while you say that you like him. You can say something like, “Nobody can make me laugh like you can” to show why you like him. <img> React appropriately. Once your crush knows you like him, he’ll either say he shares your feelings or will want to stay friends. If he says he likes you too, then you can celebrate and get excited to start a relationship with him. If he doesn’t feel the same way, however, it’s important to stay mature and to keep things positive instead of getting emotional or making him feel bad for not feeling the same way. Though you will be upset, you should make it seem like it’s not a big deal and then be sad about it once you’re away from your crush.\nNo matter what happens, you want to leave a good impression. If you start calling him names or being mean to him for not sharing your feelings, that will take you down a dark path.\nEven if he doesn’t share your feelings, he’ll respect you for being open and honest with him. You should be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there and making an effort. <img> "

How to Get a Nice Butt | [

] | [
"Do squats. Squats are one of the best exercises you can do to tone your backside. To do a squat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees to bring your backside towards the ground, as if you are going to sit in a chair. Squat as low as you can comfortably go. Make sure your knees remain lined up over your feet as you squat down. Then, stand up again and repeat the exercise. Do 3 sets of continuous repetitions for about 45 to 60 seconds per set.\nTry sumo squats for a variation that will target different areas of your backside as well. This is the same as a regular squat except you do it with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing out to the sides. <img> Include lunges. Lunges are also great for toning your backside. To do a lunge, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and then take a big step forward with one foot and bend your knees so that the back knee goes down towards the ground and the front knee bends at about a 90-degree angle. Make sure to keep your front knee above your ankle. Hold for a second and then step back into the starting position. Do 10-20 repetitions on each leg to complete a set, or do the exercise for 45-60 seconds on each leg. Do between 1 and 3 sets.\nFor more of a challenge, try holding a 5 pounds (2.3 kg) to 15 pounds (6.8 kg) weight in each hand while you do the lunges. <img> Do donkey kicks. Donkey kicks target the glutes and hamstrings. To do a donkey kick, get down on the ground on your hands and knees. Your shoulders should be over your wrists and your hips should be over your knees. Extend one leg straight out and up towards the ceiling, as if you are kicking a high target with your heel. Then, bring your knee back to the starting position and repeat. Do this exercise 10-20 times on each leg or for 45-60 seconds on each leg. Do between 1 and 3 sets.\nFor more of a challenge, try doing this exercise starting from a plank position. <img> Include some bridge lifts. Bridge lifts are great for toning your backside and core. To do a bridge lift, lie on your back with your arms straight along your sides and your palms facing the floor. Then, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor about shoulder-width apart. Slowly lift your hips up towards the ceiling and squeeze your glutes as you do so. When your body is in a straight line, hold the pose for a few seconds and then slowly lower your bottom back down to the floor. Repeat this exercise for 45 seconds to 1 minute, then rest. Do 1 to 3 sets.\nTry doing single leg bridge lifts for a more challenging move. Instead of doing this exercise with both feet flat on the ground, lift one leg straight up in the air above your hips and hold it there as you lift. <img> ",
"Use a combination of cardiovascular exercises to meet your weekly requirements. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity, such as walking or using an elliptical machine, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity every week, such as running or jogging. You can do the same activity in sessions spread throughout the week, or you can get all of your exercise over the course of a couple of days. <img> Walk up and down stairs or use a stair machine. To maximize your cardio workouts, you can do cardiovascular exercise that works your glutes while also getting your heartrate up. Walking up and down flights of stairs or using a stair machine is the best way to take care of both.\nYou can even incorporate more stairs into your daily routine, such as by taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work.\nSince this is a vigorous activity, do a total of 75 minutes per week, or 5 15 minute sessions, to get your weekly cardio requirement. <img> Take a walk uphill. Walking uphill is a close second to walking up stairs when it comes to toning your backside. Try replacing your usual walking route with one that includes some hills, or use the incline setting on the treadmill to simulate hills.\nSome treadmills have a hill program, which will automatically adjust the incline at intervals to simulate a hilly walking route.\nGet 5 30 minute sessions per week. <img> Use an elliptical walker. This type of cardio is not as effective for toning your butt as stairs or uphill walking, but it's better than walking or running on flat terrain, and it's a good low-impact option if you have bad knees. Start with the resistance on the lowest level, and then adjust it up as you build strength.\nAim for 30 minutes 5 times per week. <img> ",
"Add calories if you are underweight. If you are underweight, then you may not have enough fat and/or muscle to create a defined backside. You may need to find little ways to increase your caloric intake, while still eating healthy.\nFor example, you might add a couple of protein shakes in between your meals, or find ways to add calories to foods you normally eat, such as by eating an apple with almond butter, adding extra meat and cheese to your sandwich, and switching to whole milk. <img> Subtract calories if you are overweight. If you are overweight, then you may need to lose some weight to allow the gluteal muscles you build to show through. To lose weight, you need to create caloric deficit. This means that you take in fewer calories than you burn.\nIf you burn 2,500 calories per day and eat only 1,500 calories per day, then you should see a weight loss of about 2 pounds (0.91 kg) per week. This is because 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat is equal to 3,500 calories.\nMake sure that you cut calories in healthy ways. Choose lower calorie options, such as vegetables and low-fat dairy. Avoid skipping meals because you will likely end up overeating later on. Also, measure your food portions and stay within the recommended serving sizes. <img> Include enough protein in your diet. Protein is essential for building muscle, so make sure that you are meeting your protein needs every day. You need about 0.37 grams of protein for every pound of your body weight.\nFor example, if you weigh 100 pounds (45 kg), then you would need to get 37 grams of protein daily.\nChoose lean protein, such as skinless chicken and turkey, tuna packed in water, and low-fat cottage cheese. <img> "

How to Tame a Mouse | [
"12ye30tJEdzi",
"4Dg4OB57O04H",
"uJGdFgnFCks8"
] | [
"Feed the mice. If you find mice that have been orphaned, they’re probably in desperate need of food. Try to get them fed as quickly as possible. They’ll need to be fed liquid nutrients with droppers, since they’re still very young and would normally be nursing. By feeding them as babies, you're getting them to think of you as a mother, which is key to taming them from a young age.\nFeed baby mice every two hours. This can become tiresome, but it’s what’s necessary to keep them alive until they’re weaned.\nIf there’s another nursing mother nearby, they should be nursed by her. Mice are good mothers and will nurse babies that aren’t their own.\nAssuming there’s not a nursing mother nearby, the best things you can give the babies are goat milk or kitten formula. Do not try to feed them cow milk, as it’s very hard to digest. <img> Massage them to encourage elimination. Baby mice will not automatically urinate or defecate. They need to be physically encouraged to do so. Rub gently on their abdomens and their genitals to induce urination after eating. This is another way to gain their trust and develop their dependence on you, making them tame.\nThe best way to do this is with a warm, damp washcloth.\nDo this each time the mice feed until you notice that they urinate on their own after eating. <img> Keep the mice warm. Normally, baby mice would be kept warm by their mother’s body heat. You need to simulate this as best you can. Create a nest for them that is between 75°F (24°C) and 90°F (32°C).\nThe mice must be kept warm at all times.\nA good option is a plastic critter carrier lined with a towel. Then, place either a hot water bottle or an electric heating pad (set on the lowest setting) under the towel.\nGive the mice a cooler area within their space that they can move to if they get too hot. <img> Treat diarrhea. Diarrhea is a common problem for baby mice and can be serious. The baby mice can become dehydrated and die. Luckily, you can treat diarrhea in mice with over the counter treatments that are suitable for humans. When you care for your baby mice in this way, they continue to have positive associations with you as their keeper.\nPedialyte is excellent for helping baby mice stay hydrated and recover from diarrhea. Feed it to the babies with a dropper. <img> Wean the babies. Once the babies are about four weeks old, you can begin to wean them. To do this, add some crushed solid food to the liquid feedings, as well as some simple fruit for them to chew on. Now the mice will be less dependent on you for feeding, but they should also be fairly tame from the bottle feeding up to this point.\nRodent blocks are available at pet stores and can be crushed up and put inside a dropper.\nPlace a slice of apple or a peeled grape near the babies so that they can practice chewing and eating solid food. <img> Provide healthy conditions. Dirty cages and coats can cause health problems. If your mice don't like their conditions, they will be less good as pets. Keep your mice healthy by making sure they have everything they need. This includes:\nFresh water always available via a bottle\nRemoving leftover, uneaten food from the cage each time you feed the babies\nCleaning up any messes they make, as well as feces in the cage <img> Handle the mice regularly. These mice will have essentially imprinted on you, since you’ve raised them since they were babies. They will have the impression that you’re their mother. Continue to handle them regularly and they will be wonderful pets.\nSome people even let their mice sit on their shoulders while they go for a walk or a bike ride! <img> ",
"Spend time with your mouse. While your mouse is in the cage, spend time talking to it, feeding it, and giving it fresh water. These things will give the mouse positive associations with your presence. This is important because you’re so big that you can easily be seen as a threat.\nGet down to the same level as your mouse’s cage. That way, the mouse won’t always see you as a giant towering over it. <img> Hand-feed the mouse. Mice love treats. Feeding the mouse treats from your hand will give it more positive associations with you. However, you want to be careful not to get bitten, and not to encourage biting in the future.\nPut a treat in the palm of your hand and lower your hand into the cage slowly.\nThe treat can be a piece of fruit or a rodent treat from the pet store.\nWait for the mouse to approach you. Let it take the treat. This will teach the mouse to consistently approach you and that your hand is safe. <img> Pick up the mouse. Once the mouse is used to your hand coming into the cage, and it doesn’t see you as a threat, pick it up. You can just gently scoop the mouse into your hand. If this is difficult, you can grab the mouse gently from the base of his tail and then quickly put him into your other hand.\nIf you’re going to use the tail to pick up your mouse, do so by the very base, and only do so for a moment. It can be quite painful for a mouse to be held or dangled by its tail. <img> Hold the mouse for increasing periods of time. While you hold the mouse, speak to it gently, and try to make sure the experience is pleasant and not stressful. Do this everyday, spending more and more time with your mouse until it’s very comfortable with you.\nAlways try to end the holding session on a positive note. For example, if the mouse urinates on you, or bites you, and you immediately put it back in its cage, it will learn that those behaviors will get it to go home.\nInstead, aim to put the mouse back after a desired behavior, such as approaching food in your hand, or remaining still for a long moment. <img> ",
"Keep the mouse in a cage. In order to tame a wild mouse, you’ll need to catch it first. There are many ways to catch mice. You want to make sure that you catch the mouse in a way that won’t hurt it or scare it too much if possible.\nYou can buy mouse traps that will simply catch the mouse without causing it any kind of injury.\nOnce you’ve caught the mouse, an aquarium or small rodent cage will do. Make sure the mouse has comfortable bedding, fun toys or furniture to play on, and a water bottle. <img> Get the mouse’s attention with treats. Some people call this “bribing” the mouse. However, all you’re really doing is letting the mouse know that you’re not a threat, and in fact, have positive things to offer.\nPut your hand (with a treat on it) into the cage. Let the mouse approach and come onto your hand to get the treat. <img> Handle the mouse with gloves on. Cloth gardener’s gloves work well for this. Gently scoop up the mouse out of the cage. Handle it for a few minutes, and let the mouse crawl on you. Then, put the mouse gently back in its cage.\nGive the mouse treats while it crawls on you. This will give it positive associations with you.\nDo this as often as you and the mouse have the patience for. The more you practice, the quicker you’ll tame your mouse. <img> Remove the gloves. After a week or two, try taking the gloves off when you handle the mouse. Do this gently. If the mouse seems afraid or bites you, you can put the gloves back on and try again.\nContinue practicing and picking up the mouse without gloves until it’s easy and the mouse feels comfortable. <img> "

How to Fix Unbalanced Arms | [
"tj1rxcqXeEg1",
"bWPvRtQml0BG",
"73kHeh6NvvI7"
] | [
"Watch your form in the mirror as you exercise. Sometimes, a muscle imbalance can be caused by exercising improperly. When you workout, try to do it in front of a mirror so you can see your arms, and check to see if you are working both in the same way.\nFor example, when you do dumbbell curls, you could be leaning over too much on one side. This can create an imbalance in your muscle tone.\nWhen you lift barbells, you could be lifting one side higher than the other. This could make one arm stronger.\nIf you are feeling pain or discomfort as you work out, it could be a sign that your form is off. <img> Focus on your weaker side when you are doing bilateral movements. When you use barbells or other equipment that works both of your arms at the same time, make sure you engage your weaker arm as much as you are engaging your stronger one. Really think about how your muscles feel and if you are spreading out the weight over both your arms.\nBeing mindful while you exercise can also help you avoid potential injuries. <img> Avoid twisting or rotating your body as you work out. When one arm is weaker than the other, your body could be compensating by twisting your core or shoulder when you do your reps. Focus on holding your body straight and not letting your torso twist or bend as you workout.Tip: Having a friend or trainer watch you while you work out can help you spot movements like this.\n\nFor example, when you do shoulder presses with a dumbbell, make sure your posture remains upright. <img> Work with a personal trainer to make sure your form is correct. Talk to a professional about your uneven muscle tone and work with them to create an exercise program that’s right for you. You can usually find personal trainers at your local gym or fitness center.\nPersonal trainers are certified in physical training and exercise, so they know how to create safe, healthy workout plans that are right for you. <img> ",
"Stretch your arms after you work out. Sometimes, uneven muscle tone can be caused by flexibility issues. After you work out, do some basic arm stretches to cool down your muscles and improve your mobility.\nPull one arm across your chest and hold it for about 30 seconds, then repeat that on the other side.\nTry pushing your arm behind your head and holding it for 30 seconds, then repeat that on the other side. <img> Work out each arm muscle equally. Instead of focusing on just your biceps, be sure to include your triceps and your shoulders as well. You can do tricep pushups, tricep dips, and shoulder presses to include these muscles in your workout.\nTo do tricep pushups, get into a normal push up position but keep your arms close to your shoulders. Lower your body down while keeping your arms parallel to your torso.\nTo do tricep dips, get into a crab walk position with your hands behind you facing towards you and your torso facing upwards. Lift your rear off the ground and then bend your arms to do a reverse pushup motion.\nTo do a shoulder press, grab a barbell or 2 dumbbells. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and your back straight, and raise your weights directly above your head. Then, lower them down so the weights are next to your head. <img> Vary your workout routine to strengthen different muscles. If you’ve found a workout routine that you love, it can be hard to switch it up. Try to incorporate different exercises into your routine so you can vary which muscles you are working out.\nFor example, if you always do bicep curls during your arm workout, try switching to pushups instead.\nTry doing dynamic exercises, like a curl and press.\nSingle arm exercises are a great way to strengthen your non-dominant arm.Tip: You can also try using different equipment, like a resistance band instead of barbells. <img> ",
"Use your weaker arm to do daily activities. Often, your non-dominant arm is the one that’s weaker since you use it less. Try using your weaker arm to brush your teeth, eat food, make coffee, and do your daily activities to strengthen it incrementally.\nPerform the same exercise with both arms to see how much stronger your non-dominant arm is. For instance, if you can do 10 reps of an exercise with your dominant arm and only 6 reps with your other arm, your strength gap would be about 4 reps.Variation: If you are ambidextrous, meaning you don’t have a dominant hand, try using both of your hands evenly to do your daily tasks. <img> Workout with dumbbells more often than barbells. Dumbbells help to focus the weight on one arm instead of spreading it out over both of your arms. Try using dumbbells as much as you can so you can really focus on strengthening your weaker side.\nYou don’t have to give up barbells completely, but it is much easier to focus on one arm when that’s the only one you are working out.\nFor example, instead of doing bicep curls with a barbell, try doing them with a dumbbell instead. <img> Start with your weaker side when using dumbbells. This will help you work out your weaker arm before you get tired. Try doing every exercise on your weaker arm first to really focus on building those muscles up. <img> Add a few more reps of every exercise to your weaker side. To really bulk up your muscles, you can work out your weaker arm more than your stronger one. Try adding 4 to 5 more reps of each exercise to your weaker arm after you’re done.\nFor example, if you did 10 bicep curls on each arm, do 5 extra on your weaker arm.\nUse caution when you work out your weaker arm more, as you could actually make your weaker arm stronger than your other arm.\nTry taking at least 6 weeks off your usual workout routine to correct your muscle imbalance. You'll need at least 6 weeks to see strength gains and muscle growth in your weaker arm. <img> Take pictures of your arms once a week to track your progress. If you’ve noticed your muscles look bigger in one arm, take a photo with a date and time stamp. Keep taking photos of your arms once a week to see how your muscles in the weaker side are developing.\nIt can be hard to track changes in yourself since you look at yourself every day. Taking pictures can help with that. <img> "

How to Measure Force | [
"zt3h11q3Lp49",
"wShTudkxOSnQ"
] | [
"Understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The force of an object is simply the product of its mass and acceleration. This relationship can be defined by the following formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration. Here are a few other things to keep in mind as you measure force:\nThe standard unit for mass is kilograms (kg).\nThe standard unit for acceleration is m/s.\nThe standard unit for force is the newton (N). The newton is a derived standard unit. 1N = 1 kg x 1m/s. <img> Measure the mass of a given object. An object's mass is the amount of matter that it contains. The mass of an object never changes, no matter what planet it's on; while weight fluctuates depending on gravitational pull, your mass is the same on Earth and on the Moon. In the metric system, mass can be expressed in grams or kilograms. Let's say the object we're working with is a truck that has a mass of 1000 kg.\nTo find the mass of a given object, place it on a triple beam or a double pan balance. This will calculate the mass in kilograms or grams.\nIn the English system, mass can be expressed in pounds. Because force can also be expressed in pounds, the term \"pound-mass\" has been coined to distinguish its usage. However, if you find the mass of an object using pounds in the English system, it's best to convert it to the metric system. If you know an object's mass in pounds, simply multiply it by .45 to find the mass in kilograms. <img> Measure the object's acceleration. In physics, acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, which is defined as speed in a given direction, per unit of time. In addition to the common definition of acceleration as speeding up, it also can mean an object is slowing down or changing direction. Just as velocity can be measured with a speedometer, acceleration is measured with an accelerometer. Let's say the acceleration of the 1000 kg truck we're working with is 3m/s.\nIn the metric system, velocity is expressed in centimeters per second or meters per second, and acceleration is expressed as centimeters per second per second (centimeters per second squared) or meters per second per second (meters per second squared).\nIn the English system, one way to express velocity is as feet per second, so acceleration can be expressed in feet per second squared. <img> Multiply the object's mass by its acceleration. This is the force's value. Simply plug in the known numbers into the equation and you will know the force of the object. Remember to state your answer in newtons (Ns).\nForce = Mass x Acceleration\nForce = 1000 kg x 3m/s\nForce = 3000N <img> ",
"Find mass if you know force and acceleration. If you know the force and acceleration of an object, simply plug them into the same formula to find the object's mass. Here's how to do it:\nForce = Mass x Acceleration\n3N = Mass x 3m/s\nMass = 3N/3m/s\nMass = 1 kg <img> Find acceleration if you know force and mass. If you know the force and mass of an object, simply plug them into the same formula to find the object's mass. Here's how to do it:\nForce = Mass x Acceleration\n10N = 2 kg x Acceleration\nAcceleration = 10N/2kg\nAcceleration = 5m/s <img> Find the acceleration of an object. If you want to find the force of an object, you can calculate its acceleration as long as you know its mass. All you have to do is use the formula for finding the acceleration of an object. The formula is (Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)/Time.\nExample: A runner reaches a speed of 6 m/s in 10 seconds. What is his acceleration?\nThe final velocity is 6 m/s. The original velocity is 0 m/s. The time is 10s.\nAcceleration = (6 m/s - 0 m/s)/10s = 6/10s = .6m/s <img> "

How to Stain Wood | [
"wIWFTEtDQRWC",
"qYgIiFo1tne9",
"9whkfUB468CF",
"ibrnmOwKhnoN"
] | [
"Sand the wood with 120-grit sandpaper. Rub the sandpaper against the wood going in the direction of the grain. Once you've sanded the whole piece of wood evenly, wipe off the dust using a clean rag.\nThe 120-grit sandpaper will help get rid of any imperfections in the wood left from dirt or other debris.\nDampen the rag before wiping away the sawdust if desired—just make sure you let the wood dry completely before treating it.\nFill any holes or dents in the wood using a wood filler that matches the color of your wood before sanding, if desired. You can find wood filler at any local home improvement store or online. <img> Switch to 220-grit sandpaper to create an even surface on the wood. Do a second round of sanding using the higher grit sandpaper. Repeat the same process that you did with the 120-grit sandpaper, rubbing the entire surface before removing the extra sawdust with a clean rag.\nThe 220-grit sandpaper is a finer grit that will leave a very smooth finish.\nAlways sand going with the direction of the grain. <img> Brush a thin layer of conditioner on the surface in the direction of the grain. Dip a natural bristle brush, rag, or sponge into the wood conditioner and apply even strokes to the wood. Cover the entire piece of wood evenly with a thin layer of the wood conditioner.\nThe wood should be clean and dry without any other finishes on it before using a wood conditioner. <img> Wait 10-15 minutes for the conditioner to absorb and wipe off the excess. Use a clean rag to gently wipe away the extra wood conditioner. Use small strokes to wipe it off, going in the direction of the wood grain.\nRead the instructions on the wood conditioner to see how long they recommend leaving it on the wood, following their advice to ensure the best results. <img> Let the conditioner dry for 30 minutes and stain the wood within 2 hours. Set a timer for 30 minutes so you know when the wood should be dry. Aim to stain your wood within 2 hours of the wood conditioner drying for the best results. <img> ",
"Sand the wood with 220-grit sandpaper. Once the wood conditioner is dry, use 220-grit sandpaper or higher to sand the wood. Sand in the direction of the grain, and use a clean cloth to remove the dust created from sanding.\nAvoid using sandpaper of a lesser grit than 220, otherwise you might scratch the wood.\nRemove any hardware so your piece is ready for staining. <img> Use a rag or brush to apply the stain to the wood. Stir your can of stain thoroughly using a wooden or plastic stirring utensil. Dip your rag or brush into the stain and spread it on the wood, working your way across the piece in sections. Apply it going in the same direction as the wood grain.\nWear gloves to protect your hands from the stain. <img> Apply the stain in a thin, even layer. Use long strokes to brush or rub the stain onto the wood. Don't worry too much about getting the stain absolutely perfect because you'll be wiping most of it off. Focus on making sure there aren't any major streaks or splatters of stain anywhere on the wood.\nContinue using long, slow strokes to even out the color of the stain as much as possible. <img> Wipe away the excess stain after 5-15 minutes, depending on your desired shade. The longer you leave the stain on the wood, the darker it will get. Use a clean rag to wipe off the excess stain, rubbing the wood lightly going in the direction of the grain to dab up the extra pigment. Be thorough, wiping the stain into the wood and creating a thin, even layer of stain.\nDon't let the stain sit for longer than15 minutes.\nIt’s best to wipe your stain up sooner rather than later—you can always add additional coats if it’s too light, but it’s much harder to remove stain that’s too dark.\nPay careful attention to any darker or splotchy areas, wiping them up with the rag so the wood is an even color.\nYou may need to use multiple rags. <img> Let the stain dry for 4 hours before adding additional coats, if desired. Let the wood lay flat in a well-ventilated area for the 4 hours that it’s drying. If you decide you still want it darker, apply another coat of the stain by brushing it on in the direction of the grain, waiting 5-15 minutes for it to absorb, and then wiping it off again with a clean cloth.\nRepeat this as many times as necessary until you get your desired shade.\nMake sure you let each coat of stain dry completely before applying an additional one.\nAfter you've waited 4 hours and feel that the stain is dry, your wood is ready for a sealant. <img> ",
"Choose a finishing coat to protect your wood by sealing it. While you don't have to seal your wood, it's definitely recommended if you want your piece to last a long time and stay durable. Protective coats like polyurethane work well and can be found at hardware stores or online. Use a wooden or plastic stick to gently stir the finishing coat, using slow, gentle motions.\nProtective finishing coats have a range of sheens, from matte to high gloss.\nAvoid shaking the can of finishing coat to prevent unwanted bubbles.\nAfter using a sealant, you can't easily add additional layers of stain to your wood, so be sure it's the color you want. <img> Use a natural bristle brush to apply the sealant to the wood. Dip your brush into the can of sealant, brushing it onto the wood going in the direction of the grain. Cover the entire piece of wood evenly using a thin layer of the protective coat.\nFeel free to test your sealant out on your test piece of wood before applying it to your project if desired. <img> Wait 3-4 hours for the sealant to dry before sanding it again, if desired. If you let the protective coat dry for 4 hours and you think it’s done, awesome! If not, use 220-grit sandpaper to gently sand the top layer before wiping away the dust with a clean cloth.\nBrushing on additional coats will add protection and shine (depending on your type of sealant) to your wood. <img> Apply a second coat of the sealant and let it dry completely. Repeat the process of brushing on the sealant, going in the direction of the grain and applying it in an even, thin layer. Wait another 4 hours for it to dry, and decide if it’s finished or it needs another coat.\nMost people add two coats of sealant onto their wood.\nOnce you decide your piece of wood is finished, wait 48 hours for it to dry completely before using it. <img> ",
"Choose stains and conditioners that are compatible with each other. This means they should all have the same base. If you choose an oil-based stain like Varathane, you'll need to pick out an oil-based conditioner and sealant. A water-based stain will need water-based products to go with it.\nThis ensures each layer works together to create a smooth finish.\nPurchase wood stain and wood conditioners at your local hardware store or online. <img> Pick out an oil-based stain and conditioner to enhance the wood's color. Oil-based stains are the most popular, and they're often the easiest to apply to the wood. They also go the deepest into the wood, giving it a nice depth and beautiful color. While they're easy to apply, they don't offer protection for the wood, so you'll definitely need to add a final coat of sealant if you choose oil-based products.\nOil-based stains are good for softwoods, like pine and birch.\nOil-based stains usually only need 1-2 coats. <img> Select water-based products for an environmentally-friendly option. Water-based stains are easy to clean up and are more resistant to things like mildew and mold. These products won't create the same rich color that an oil-based product would, but they do keep their color for a long period of time.\nCedar, cypress, and redwood all do well with water-based stains.\nWater-based stains and conditioners dry very quickly.\nIf you choose a water-based stain, a wood conditioner will be necessary because water-based stains raise the grain of the wood. <img> Opt for a gel stain for color that rests on the top of the wood. Gel stains don't penetrate the surface of the wood, meaning they bring out some of the wood's markings but mostly act as a layer of paint. They're great for types of woods that usually become splotchy when stains are added, like maple, pine, cherry, and birch.\nGel stains work particularly well on vertical surfaces like doors or cabinets because they don't run or splatter as much.\nBe careful when using gel stains on crevices, as the stain tends to gather in these spots and can be difficult to remove. <img> Test your stain on a scrap piece of wood to see how it will turn out. Find a small piece of wood that’s the same type you’ll be staining, if possible. Dab the stain onto this test piece of wood using a rag to see how light or dark it turns out.\nTesting your stain on this small piece will let you see how the stain will affect your variety of wood before you apply it to your project.\nYou may have an easier time staining lighter woods, like pine, as opposed to darker woods, like oak. <img> "

How to Shotgun a Beer | [
"XUMuPLM3gWqp",
"8rgoVeRdgcCS"
] | [
"Hold a can of beer horizontally. Lay the can on a table or hold it in your hand so it’s sideways. This will move the air bubble inside to the side of the can rather than at the top and will waste less beer as you make the hole.\nUse a light beer. It will be more difficult to drink a heavy or flavorful beer quickly. <img> Position the hole 1 in (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the can. The aluminum here is soft and you’ll be able to puncture the can with ease. The metal closer to the bottom of the can is more difficult to punch due to its shape.\nIf you’re right-handed, place the hole to the left of the tab so you can easily open in later. If you’re left-handed, punch the hole to the right of the tab. <img> Tilt the can until you feel an air bubble under your thumb. Press on the can until you feel a pocket of air inside the can. Push a slight dent in the can so you know exactly where you want to punch the hole. <img> Use a key or knife to puncture the can easily. Hold the end of the key over the dent you’ve made with your finger. In one swift motion, push down so it pops a hole in one side of the can. Expect some beer and foam to shoot out of the hole once it’s punctured.\nYou can use any sharp object to make the hole, but be careful not to poke all the way through the can. <img> Push confidently with your thumb if you don’t have a tool. Use your palm and your fingers to brace the other side of the can as you push in. Move your thumb towards the bottom of the can to avoid scraping your thumb on the aluminum.\nDon’t be timid when using your thumb. Push hard right from the start and the can will open.\nBe careful when taking your thumb out from the can. The metal may be sharp and could cut your finger. <img> Make the hole the size of a dime. Use the edge of the object you used to puncture the can to resize the hole. Bend the metal so the sharp edges are inside the can. The larger hole you make, the easier it will be for you to drink the beer; just make sure you can fit your mouth around it.\nIf you’ve punched a hole with your thumb, the hole is probably large enough already. <img> ",
"Place your mouth over the hole. Keep the beer can horizontal so the hole is facing up and bring it to your mouth. Make sure you cover the entire hole so no beer drips out. <img> Tilt the can to a vertical position. Let gravity do most of the work for you. Make sure you have a hand on the tab so you can open it right as the can is vertical. You may want to tilt your head to the side to make it easier. <img> Pop the tab open with your other hand. Don’t suck any of the beer out until the tab is open. Use your dominant hand to pop the tab quickly. Opening the tab will let air go through the can so it doesn’t create a vacuum and deform the can.\nBeer will start to flow smoothly from the hole, but if you want to drink faster, you can suck it out with your mouth. <img> Drink the beer as fast as you can. Take a deep breath before you start chugging the beer. Tilt your head back to help pour out the beer. It will come out quickly, so try not to let too much fill your mouth before swallowing it. Once the beer is gone, move the can away from your mouth and dispose of it responsibly.\nKeep your throat open so you can easily pour it down rather than sucking the can and gulping.\nDrinking a beer this way will make you feel intoxicated fast. Set a limit for yourself and be aware of how your body reacts. <img> "

How to Register for the SAT | [
"k1FMG7lLaoT3",
"6KSDXEef3X1G"
] | [
"Create an SAT plan if you are in your freshman year. If you are in your first year of high school, you can start to prepare yourself for the SAT by creating an SAT plan. This could be an outline of high school courses you will need to take to get into college, according to the course levels offered at your high school, and when you plan to take your SAT in your junior or senior year.\nDuring your freshman year, you can start to think about taking SAT Subject Tests in your sophomore year, which are hour long tests that focus on specific subject areas. The SAT Subject Tests will allow you to distinguish yourself when you get to the college admission process in your senior year and provide a more complete picture of your academic background. There are 20 SAT Subject Tests given in five subject areas: English, history, languages, math, and science. <img> Take SAT Subject Tests if you are in your sophomore year. If you are taking any courses that relate to the SAT Subject Tests in your second year of high school, you should consider taking the SAT Subject Tests. You should plan to take the applicable SAT Subject Test once you have finished a class in a certain subject as the subject material will be fresh in your mind.\nYou can access free practice questions for the SAT Subject Tests here: https://sat.collegeboard.org/practice/sat-subject-test-preparation.\nYou can also download a free booklet to help you prepare for the SAT Subject Tests here: http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/sat/sat-getting-ready-sat-subject-tests-2015.pdf. <img> Consider taking the SAT in the spring of your junior year. Most high school students take the SAT twice, once in their junior year and once in their senior year. Taking the SAT twice will allow you to improve upon your initial score and give you a better chance at a high overall SAT score. You should take the SAT in the spring of your junior year so you have time to prepare for the SAT during the first half of the school year.\nYou can take the SAT or up to three SAT Subject Tests on one test day. If you decide to take both types of tests, you will need to do so on different days.\nIf you feel your initial scores on the SAT in your junior year are high, you can send them to colleges you are interested in attending and to scholarship programs. This can be seen as a sign of interest and may qualify you for campus visits programs and information sessions in your area. You may also be considered for scholarships and funding through certain college admission programs. <img> Plan on taking the SAT again in your senior year to improve your scores. If you are not satisfied with your junior year SAT scores, you can plan to take the SAT a second time. Most seniors do this at the beginning of the senior year. Often, students who take the SAT more than once can improve their score.\nYou can access the My SAT Online Score Report online to determine your strengths and the areas you need to improve on for the SAT.\nYou can also decide if you want to take the SAT Subject Tests again in your senior year to improve your scores for these tests.\nOnce you complete your SAT a second time, and earn scores you are happy with, you should send your SAT scores to colleges and universities by December or January to ensure you meet the application deadlines. <img> ",
"Make sure you register three to four weeks before the test date. The SAT is offered seven Saturdays a year. If you cannot attend a Saturday test date due to religious reasons, there are also Sunday test dates available. Most registration deadlines for the SAT are set three to four weeks before the test date. There are also late registration deadlines, which are usually two to three weeks before the test dates.\nThe current SAT registration schedule for the U.S. is available here: http://studypoint.com/ed/sat-test-dates/. However, dates can shift every year so check the schedule and choose a date during the year you would like to take the SAT. <img> Choose online registration or mail in registration. Online registration is quick and easy. You can register online via the College Board website. You will need to create a free profile, state where you would like to take the test in the U.S., select a test date, and enroll in the test date.\nIf you would like to register by mail, you must get an SAT Paper Registration Guide from your school's guidance office. You will then need to complete the guide and mail it in before the registration deadline for your chosen test date. <img> Pay the registration fee. When you register online for the SAT, the only option for payment of the registration fee is via credit card. The basic SAT registration fee is $43. If you are planning on taking the SAT with Essay, the fee is $54.50. If you end up doing late registration for a test date, there is an additional fee of $28.\nIf you are registering by mail, you can pay by check.\nThere is financial assistance available for students who cannot afford the registration fee in the form of a registration fee waiver. More information about the SAT fee waiver application can be found on the College Board website: https://sat.collegeboard.org/register/sat-fee-waivers. <img> Take the SAT on your chosen test date. Once you have paid the registration fee and received a receipt with your SAT test date, you should then prepare to take the SAT on the chosen date.\nMake sure you show up for your test date. If you miss your test date without letting the SAT registration program know, you may need to re register and pay another registration fee to take the SAT at another date. <img> "

How to Make a Girl Blush | [

] | [
"Give her an unexpected compliment. This is the simplest, most direct way to make a girl blush. Almost everyone appreciates a good compliment. If you choose the right words — walking the thin line between sincere and funny — she just might blush. A few tips are below.\nTry to make the compliment about her, rather than about her things. As a simple example, you might say \"You look great in that dress\" instead of \"I like your dress.\"\nExplore topics besides her looks. For example, her smarts and artistic abilities are also great things to bring up.\nDon't lay it on too thick. One or two compliments per conversation are fine. A constant string of compliments will usually make people feel uncomfortable.\nAny sincere and personal compliment should work. For example, you might say \"Your freckles are the cutest thing I have ever seen.\" <img> Maintain good eye contact. Sometimes a single look can say a thousand words. When you catch her eye as you talk, smile at her and keep your gaze for a few seconds longer than you normally would. If she is shy, even the slightest amount of eye contact may turn her cheeks pink. If she smiles back at you, this can be a sign she feels an attraction for you (though you shouldn't go off of this alone).\nWhen something else catches your attention or someone else starts talking, break your eye contact. Don't keep staring at the girl — this can come across as creepy leering. <img> Flirt! Not all girls will blush over something as innocent as eye contact. However, a little good-natured flirting can usually do the trick. \nOne basic way to flirt is to give someone a ridiculous compliment with a joking or sarcastic delivery. For example, if the girl flexes to show off her bicep, you might say something like, \"Oooh, soo sexy.\" It should come across like you're teasing her but being a little sincere at the same time. <img> Tease her gently. This takes a little finesse, but it works great when you get good at it. Your goal here is to embarrass the girl, but only slightly and only about something that's not actually very important. You should always keep your teasing lighthearted. Back off immediately if you sense that she feels offended or deeply embarrassed.\nA good rule is to tease her about her skills or decisions instead of her personality or appearance. For example, teasing her about her bad driving skills can be cute. On the other hand, teasing her about a few light wisps of facial hair is a bad idea. <img> Crack an inside joke around other people. When you're hanging out in a group of people, try making a joke that only she will get. It can be a reference to something from your past, something funny that happened to you two but not the other people, or something that references a mutual interest. If you pull it off, she'll feel special. Out of all the people, you singled out her for some humor.\nThinking up an inside joke is up to you — only you can search your shared history for something amusing to say. <img> Impress her peers. Girls listen to their peers. If she hears her friends or family talking about what an amazing, desirable person you are, she may start thinking about you in new romantic ways. Your best bet for this to happen is to simply present your best self. Look as good as you can, have confidence in yourself, and make an effort to be friendly to all of her peers.\nIf you're already dating, impressing her parents with your politeness and achievements can be a major plus. For many girls, the approval of the parents can mean the world. A little old-fashioned chivalry and good manners in front of the parents can make you look like an absolute gentleman. If you really want to look good, consider getting a clean-cut haircut as well. <img> If you're together, show her how important she is to you. If you're dating the girl that you're trying to make blush, you have more options at your disposal because you already share a level of intimacy. Let her know that she's extremely valuable to you. If you're comfortable with the idea and your relationship has reached this point, you can also bring the \"L word\" into the conversation. For the best effect, your actions should reflect your words. A few ideas for showing your seriousness are below:\nWrite her a sweet, hand-penned note.\nMake her a mix with her favorite songs on it.\nTake her to your favorite hiking or camping spot.\nShare a picnic somewhere with a gorgeous view.\nTreat her to a semi-fancy night out just because. <img> If you're not together, make a move. On the other hand, if the girl you're trying to make blush isn't your girlfriend, making your romantic intentions known can certainly make her blush. This can be something as simple as breaking the touch barrier (for instance, touching her shoulder as you laugh) or a little flirting. If you want to be drastic, consider asking the girl out. She's certain to be flattered, even if she doesn't feel the same way. If she does, you have an exciting new relationship to explore! <img> ",
"Don't objectify her. When it comes to complimenting a girl, you'll want to avoid anything that makes her feel like a sex object (or a \"piece of meat\") rather than a feeling, thinking human being. Keep you compliments about her beauty, her intelligence, her decisions, and her personality. Avoid the following subjects:\nHer sex characteristics (e.g., bust size)\nHow revealing or non-revealing her clothing is\nHer race or ethnicity\nOutward identifiers of her religion or social status <img> Don't be creepy. While it's OK to be attracted to someone or be captivated by someone's beauty, getting too fixated on her looks can be a great way to ruin your chances. In extreme cases, this sort of behavior can constitute harassment. Actions and comments that are inappropriately personal or sexual or personal are off-limits. Avoid the following sorts of actions:\nStaring or ogling — especially if you're looking below the neck\nAsking prying questions about her dating or sex history\nPressing her for a chance to hang out together if she says \"no\" or offers an excuse for why she can't\nMaking any sort of comment that insinuates that she should do something sexual with you <img> Don't use inappropriate touch. Touching someone inappropriately against their will is wrong. At best, it is cause for this person to get angry with you. At worst, it can be a crime. If you haven't already established that touching is OK, keep your hands to yourself except for harmless flirtatious gestures like briefly touching her shoulder as you laugh. If she appears uncomfortable or asks you to stop, stop — even if you don't think you're doing anything wrong. <img> Don't be cruel when you tease her. As noted above, gentle teasing can be a great way to flirt with a girl and get her to blush. However, there's a fine line to be aware of here. Teasing a girl in a way that makes her feel self-conscious or under attack can lead to hurt feelings, anger, and even lasting grudges. Avoid the following sorts of topics as a general rule:\nNegative comments about her appearance or weight\nSerious criticisms of her personal, political, or religious views\nGossipy comments about her family or the people she spends time with\nMean-spirited imitations of her tics or habits <img> Don't rely on money or gifts. A few sincere presents or a fancy night out every once in a while can be great for showing that a girl means a lot to you. However, trying to throw your weight around by spending lots of money on your outings or buying luxurious gifts isn't a good idea. It may make her blush, but if she's intelligent, her blushing is likely to be out of embarrassment for you. Money is entirely separate from your ability to make girls feel special. People with lots of money can be romantic, but this isn't why they're romantic. Trying to woo girls with money is only likely to make you end up broke or in the company of women with poor life priorities. <img> "

How to Make a Chicken Quesadilla Using Rotisserie Chicken | [
"FXKvb4kdLl5d",
"NTS3HdNDkvXt"
] | [
"Shred the chicken. Using forks, shred the chicken to the desired size you want and place it into a bowl.\nIf you are having issues with the forks, use your hands to help remove the meat faster, if it's cool to touch.\nIf you do not want skin in your quesadillas remove it before you shred. The skin should be held together enough to be removed easily. <img> Place the chicken into a desired sauce or seasoning (optional).\nIf using a sauce, place into a sauce pan on medium to low heat and add the sauce.\nDepending on the sauce you can leave the chicken in the sauce while the quesadilla is heating up. You might like using El Pato sauce which is a hot tomato sauce, if you like. <img> ",
"Place a light coating of butter in the pan, on medium heat.\nIf you plan on using oil follow the same steps as the butter, but adjust the cooking time by a minute. The oil will cook the food faster than the butter. <img> Place the tortilla on the butter and lightly cook the tortilla. Flip the tortilla to coat both sides with a thin layer of butter once placed.\nYou will know the tortilla is ready to be filled once a pocket bubble forms. <img> Put shredded cheese on half of the tortilla. Use a pinch-full of shredded cheese, slightly less than a half cup, and place a nice layer on one half of the tortilla. <img> Set your chicken on the cheese, and top with another sprinkled layer of cheese. Use a small portion of chicken to not overfill the quesadilla. <img> Use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half and lightly hold it in place. After 20 to 30 seconds, flip the tortilla and lightly hold it in place again for 20 to 30 seconds.\nIf the quesadilla is cooking too fast, move the pan to a non-heated stove-top element and reduce the heat on your cooking element.\nIf you are having issues folding the tortilla, move it to the side of the pan where it curves. This will hold it in place while you fold the tortilla over. <img> Place on a plate and serve. Add with any dipping sauce of your choice! Sour cream and hot sauce are always a delicious go-to. <img> "

How to Fold a Jumperoo | [
"mBrTPeimdtpo",
"emsvGupwHdhd"
] | [
"Locate the release button. The Jumperoo has a button at the base of one of the legs that, when pressed, allows the whole Jumperoo to be taken apart. Find this button. <img> Press the release button. As you press the release button, one of the base tubes should detach from the leg. <img> Fold the detached base tubes toward the center. The legs should fold into one another. Think of this as if you are closing a book, and the legs and base tubes are the covers. They should come together neatly.\nAt the end of this step, the base tubes should resemble an oval with pointed ends. <img> Turn or collapse the seat sideways. This will happen as you fold the base tubes in on themselves, but you should also guide the seat as the tubes are collapsing.\nThe seat should hang perpendicular to the floor. <img> Follow the instruction manual if you have one. Though Jumperoos have a general design, some specific models may have different pieces or work in different ways from others. Take care to look over the instruction manual if possible. <img> ",
"Put the Jumperoo in a closet or other narrow space. When it is completely folded up, the Jumperoo is much skinnier than when it is set up. Take advantage of this decrease in size by putting it in an unfilled closet or between a wall and piece of furniture. <img> Place the Jumperoo under a bed or sofa. Because the Jumperoo is thinner when folded up, you might be able to turn it sideways and store it under a bed, crib, sofa, or other piece of furniture. <img> Keep the Jumperoo in a large bin or chest. If you want the Jumperoo completely out of sight, or if you plan on keeping it in storage for a long period of time, it could fit folded up inside of a large container of some sort. Keep it in here until the next time you need it. <img> "

How to Juice Wheatgrass | [
"3N8Y3yANucbL",
"owHlFEStDQB8",
"9kWfNhW3f8ie",
"n6H9BDkQS7MB"
] | [
"Harvest wheatgrass by snipping the blades about one 1 in. (2,5cm.) above the ground. Use a clean knife or pair of scissors. The blades should be about 8 inches (20 1/3 cm.) tall, having grown for about a week after the wheat grains were sown. If you're not growing your own wheatgrass, you can purchase it in a health food store or some grocery stores. <img> Wash the blades under clean, running water. Place the wheatgrass blades inside a strainer and run cool to lukewarm tap water over the grass and through the strainer to remove any dirt, insects, or bacteria. <img> Chop the wheatgrass using a sharp knife. Place the wheatgrass on a cutting board and give the blades a rough chop. The smaller the pieces are, the easier it will be to grind or blend them and create the juice. <img> Collect enough chopped wheatgrass to fill at least 1/2 cup (113 grams). You can work in smaller or larger batches, if desired, but this amount should be enough for about two servings. This will be enough to give you a healthy dose of all of the wonderful properties that wheatgrass has in store for you. <img> ",
"Prepare your wheatgrass. Prepare as much chopped wheatgrass as you want to use. You'll need to feed it into your juicer. <img> Prepare your juicer. Every juicer is different, so you'll have to set it up according to the instructions in your manual. Manual wheatgrass juicers can look a bit like meat grinders, and tend to include a handle that you grind, along with a pestle-type implement to push the grass down. Manual wheatgrass juicers can sometimes only be really used for wheatgrass, so if you splurge on a juicer, you may want to get an electric juicer so you can use it for juicing other vegetables as well. Electric juicers blend the grass more easily, but they require a bit more cleanup.\nIf you get an electric juicer, make sure you get a masticating one. A centrifugal juicer will not juice wheatgrass at all. <img> Feed the wheatgrass into the juicer. Now, just feed the wheatgrass into the juicer. For most juicers, you'll have to fill them a little bit at a time, so you don't cram the juicer and make it difficult to juice the wheatgrass. The juicer will then have a place for the juice to be collected, as well as a place for the pulp to go. <img> Pour the juice from the juicer into a glass and enjoy. You should be all done juicing your wheatgrass. Though a juicer for wheatgrass or a juicer in general can get a bit pricy, if you're really committed to juicing wheatgrass regularly, it can make a real difference in your life. After you pour it into a glass and enjoy a portion of delicious wheatgrass juice, all you have to do is clean up your juicer and you're all done. <img> ",
"Put 1/2 cup (113 grams) of chopped wheatgrass into a blender with 2 to 3 cups (500 to 750 milliliters) of filtered water. If you prefer a stronger, more concentrated taste, stick with only 2 cups (500 milliliters) of filtered water. If you are unaccustomed to the taste of wheatgrass, however, or if you find it overpowering, dilute the juice more by using 3 cups (750 milliliters) of water instead. If you like, you can substitute the water with fresh-squeezed orange juice or coconut juice instead. This can give the wheatgrass shot you'll be preparing a bit more flavor. <img> Blend the wheatgrass and water together using the highest speed. Blending for about 60 seconds should suffice. You should be left with an emerald green juice with chunks of pulp floating at the surface.\nNote that the grass may get tangled around the blades of the blender if the blades of grass are too long. This will not be an issue in most cases, and you can simply clean the blades of your blender after you finish getting the juice out. Pay attention to possible signs of trouble, though, like a slowing blade or the sounds of a struggling motor. If you suspect that the wheatgrass is clogging your blender, you may need to fish out the wayward wheatgrass before you continue blending. <img> Place a mesh strainer over a clean glass bowl. The strainer should have fine gaps, and it should be no larger than the mouth of the bowl you place it over. <img> Line the strainer with cheesecloth. The cheesecloth should be large enough to hang over the sides of your strainer. <img> Pour the wheatgrass from your blender through the cheesecloth and strainer. Most of the liquid should flow through without much effort on your part. <img> Using a rubber spatula, press down on the wheatgrass pulp to squeeze out additional juice. This juice should also flow through the cheesecloth and into the container. Continue pressing down on the wheatgrass until no more juice comes out. <img> Squeeze juice from a lemon half into the bowl of wheatgrass juice. The lemon is only optional, but it enhances the flavor of the wheatgrass while preserving the juice a little longer. Mix with a spatula or spoon to combine. This can be especially useful if you stick to water instead of using juice for your blended mix. <img> Transfer the wheatgrass from the container into glasses to enjoy. Serve it chilled or with ice. Wheatgrass can be best enjoyed in shot form. <img> ",
"Place enough chopped wheatgrass into the mortar to fill the bottom. Do not fill the mortar more than 1/4 full. If it's too full, then you won't be able to fully grind it. <img> Grind the blades. Use the pestle to thoroughly grind the blades until they begin to stick together and smear along the bottom of the mortar. Apply the pestle using a stirring motion, and press with enough force to crush the grass. This will take a few minutes, and more than a bit of effort, so be prepared. <img> Add a little water. Equal parts water should be sufficient for this method. Mash the water into the crushed wheatgrass using the same forceful stirring motion as described above. Continue mixing until a fine paste forms. The water will help you sufficiently grind down the blades of grass. <img> Empty the contents of the mortar into a clean muslin cloth. Twist the top of the cloth to prevent the paste from escaping, but do not tie it. This will allow you to extract the juice from the wheatgrass. <img> Press on the cloth to drain the wheatgrass juice out into a clean glass. Apply pressure to the cloth directly above the clump of wheatgrass paste, squeezing in a downward motion. A bright green liquid should drip out. Continue squeezing until no further liquid drains. <img> Return the wheatgrass clump to the mortar. Repeat the grinding process until the blades turn white, adding a little extra water each time to create a paste of the same consistency. <img> After your initial batch of wheatgrass turns white, add fresh chopped wheatgrass to the mortar and begin the grinding process again. Continue until your full 1/2 cup (113 grams) has been used. This process does take a while, (at least 10-15 minutes for 1/2 a cup), but it'll be worth it. It's much better than paying $300-$400 for a fancy wheatgrass juicer. <img> "

How to Study Pharmacology | [
"HpXfJuo7hskj",
"2zYzt9SwfOLh",
"uvsRyeOTSOwm"
] | [
"Structure drugs into large classes. When studying pharmacology, start big and work your way down. If you start at the bottom, you’ll be bombarded with hundreds of drugs and be overwhelmed trying to memorize each one. Take the opposite approach and organize from the top down. Divide drugs into large classes with similar characteristics and effects. Then get more specific when you're comfortable with the large groups.\nFor example, there are over 100 antibiotics divided into multiple different categories. Memorizing all of them individually would be overwhelming. Start at the top and organize a general set of “Antibiotics” and then begin learning more specific information as you study.\nFor other large drug categories, visit https://www.drugs.com/drug-classes.html. <img> Study how each drug class interacts with the body. A defining characteristic of different drug classes should be their specific effect on the body. Once you’ve identified the large drug sets, start learning general information about each one. How does this drug set work in the body? What mechanism does it use to do this? What conditions do this drug class treat? Fill in this information for each large drug group.\nAntibiotics, for example, work by fighting bacterial infections within the body. They do not have any effect on viruses. This is all important information to learn about the antibiotic set. <img> Start learning drug types within larger classes. Once you’ve learned the general characteristics of each drug class, start getting more specific. Learn the drug types within these larger sets. You already know the similarities between these drug types because they’re within the same class, so focus on how each individual type is different from the other.\nThere are 7 main types of antibiotics. They are all similar in that they fight bacterial infections, but each type is more effective against different infections and has different side effects. Study these differences to develop a clear understanding of how drug types within the same class are distinct from each other. <img> Focus on specific side effects. Don’t try to learn every single side effect of each drug. Almost every drug lists nausea, diarrhea, and upset stomach as potential side effects, so don’t waste time memorizing these. Instead, focus on more specific side effects.\nFor example, if one class of drug lists nausea, diarrhea, and insomnia as potential side effects, insomnia is the important one to remember. The other two are very common and not unique to a particular drug. <img> Learn the suffix of drugs. Drugs are usually named in ways that indicate their function. Specifically the suffix, or ending, of a drug name indicates the category it belongs to. Memorize the suffix meanings for each drug category and even if you don’t know a specific drug, you can figure out its function from its suffix.\nFor example, drugs that end in “-pril” are ACE inhibitors, meaning they affect the heart and kidneys. Drugs that end in “-olol” are Beta blockers, meaning they affect the heart, lungs, GI tract, and kidneys.\nFor a comprehensive list of drug suffixes, visit the US National Library of Medicine portal at https://druginfo.nlm.nih.gov/drugportal/jsp/drugportal/DrugNameGenericStems.jsp. <img> Plug drugs into a spreadsheet. This will all be an enormous amount of information and you don’t want to lose track of it. A good organization tactic is plugging all of this information into a spreadsheet. This keeps all the information in one place and is easily accessible whenever you have to study.\nList all the relevant information about each drug you have to study. Include class, category, interactions, side effects, dosage, etc.\nUse this spreadsheet as your master resource while studying. Refer back to it while making your flashcards and study guides. <img> ",
"Study your material after each lecture. In pharmacology, cramming is a poor way to study. You will wear yourself out and be exhausted for the exam. A better practice is studying regularly after each lecture session. This helps you build the knowledge over time and avoid feeling overwhelmed before exams.\nA general study recommendation is that for every hour you spend in class, you should spend an hour studying. This might sound overwhelming, but keeping up with it will save you work in the future. This way, you won’t have to spend all night cramming before an exam. <img> Study one topic at a time. When sitting down for a study session, don’t overwhelm yourself. Trying to study multiple topics at once will confuse you and your study session won’t be efficient. If you study 3 drug classes in one session, you could get confused and mix up information. Instead, break your study material into specific, well-defined topics and focus on each one individually.\nTell yourself, “For the next hour I will study Beta blockers,” and then don’t deviate. Spend that whole study session on that topic so you don’t get confused.\nTake breaks in between your study sessions. Even if it’s only for a short time, a few minutes of rest can help you return ready for your next session. <img> Make flashcards. When you start learning individual drugs, things can get overwhelming fast. The best way to keep track of all this information is with flashcards. Take index cards and write the drug name on the front. On the back, add important information like the drug type, dosage, interactions, and side effects. Quiz yourself with these flashcards regularly.\nYou can also purchase flashcards from study companies if you don’t want to make your own. Search online or at your university bookstore for some examples.\nCarry your flashcards around with you so you can make the most of all your downtime for study. Stuck on the bus? Take out your flashcards! <img> Make graphs or flowcharts. Visual aids are a huge help in the learning process. Making your own graphs or visual aids not only creates helpful study guides, but the process of making them helps you study as well.\nFor example, you could make a graph that starts with a drug class all the way at the top, flows into smaller drug types, and then finally to individual drugs at the bottom. This organization allows you to get all the information you need at a quick glance.\nIf you don’t want to make your own graphics, websites like Pinterest usually have uploaded graphics and study aids from students in your type of program.\nIf you get graphics from the internet, double-check them for accuracy! <img> Use mnemonic devices. A mnemonic device is a saying or phrase that helps you figure something out. Medical students use them all the time to help memorize drugs, body parts, and other complex material. Try coming up with your own phrases to remember drug types. It doesn’t matter if they’re silly, they only have to make sense to you.\nAn example of a mnemonic device is that the drug Prazosin ends in “sin” and it is an Alpha blocker. Alpha is God, and God is the opposite of sin.\nIf you don’t want to come up with your own mnemonics, search the internet or ask your classmates for ideas. <img> ",
"Work with a study group. You and your classmates are all in this together, so you might as well help each other out. Approach some of your classmates and see if they are interested in forming a study group. That way, each person can make graphs, flashcards, and guides for the others to share. This cuts down on the amount of work and makes you feel less alone while studying.\nMeet with your study group regularly to quiz each other. You could also go over your exams together and talk through what you got wrong. <img> Teach material to your classmates. The best way to know if you understand something is trying to teach it. When you’ve studied a topic, try presenting the material to your friends, family, or classmates. This tests your knowledge and ability to explain the material clearly.\nWhile you can do this exercise with your study group, it may be more helpful to teach someone who isn’t in your pharmacology program. Your classmates probably already know what you’re talking about, but teaching someone who has never seen the material before shows you how well you can break down information and present it clearly. <img> Ask your professors for help. Remember that your professors are all experts in the subjects they’re teaching. If you need advice or tips on studying, asking them for guidance is always a good idea. They’ve gone through the same education you have and probably developed their own studying strategies. <img> "

] | [
"Notice if the person has the common traits of a Scorpio. Before making assumptions about the person based on their sign, take some time to get to know a little about them and see which, if any, Scorpio traits they have. Even if you are an avid believer in astrology, you know that no two people under the same sign are alike (astrology is more complex that just the date you were born, but rather takes into account things like the exact time and year of birth). Get to know the person as an individual so you can find out if they are a \"typical\" Scorpio and, more importantly, if they have the traits you find desirable in a mate. \nTry talking to any mutual friends about the person's interests and personality.\nUse social media to your advantage and see what you can find out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. A peek at the Scorpio's LinkedIn account may reveal them to be career-driven, which is a common trait of their sign. Or you may learn that their career isn't really their top priority.\nOther common Scorpio personality traits include being honest, private, passionate, mysterious, honest, stubborn, jealous, moody, hot-headed, and loyal. <img> Focus on yourself and your own goals. Scorpios tend to attract a lot of people. Chances are, any eligible Scorpio has many suitors at any given time. A typical Scorpio is independent and career-driven by nature. They tend to look for mates who can match them. Instead of throwing yourself at a Scorpio, focus on yourself. Independence and ambition will be more likely to attract a Scorpio than coming on too strongly. \nMake sure you know your own life goals. A Scorpio is unlikely to be attracted to someone who they perceive as a slacker. Before meeting up with a Scorpio, reflect on your career and your passions so you can provide a solid answer to, \"What do you do for a living?\"\nYou want to look like someone who knows what they want and is actively pursuing that. Scorpios will be drawn to those who can match their ambitions.\nAt the same time, don't fake it. Scorpios — and most people, for that matter — value honesty. Don't pretend you know what you're doing if you don't. This might, however, be a good opportunity for you to try and figure it out! <img> Be bold about approaching a Scorpio. Notice if the person has many people vying for their affection. You may need to be a little bold when approaching a Scorpio. Find ways to stand out. \nAs Scorpios often have many different lovers, it may be difficult to get a Scorpio to notice you; therefore, don't be shy about making the first move.\nAllow yourself to be bold and outgoing. Show the person that you are also passionate and enthusiastic. Mention your hobbies and interests. A Scorpio will admire someone with a lot going on. <img> Develop an interest in mysterious topics. Notice if this Scorpio seems curious and interested in the mystical. Is the person unlikely to accept the status quo and generally question everything? This is ideal if you also have an interest in mysterious topics, like UFOs, ghost sightings, and unexplained mysteries. This will give you a lot to talk over with a Scorpio.\nYou can watch movies and documentaries on such topics online. You can check out books on these topics at a local library.\nIf you haven't met a potential Scorpio yet, going to places catered around mysterious interest may help you find a Scorpio. You may, for example, encounter a Scorpio at a tarot card shop. <img> Avoid dressing too provocatively. Scorpio's are very sex-driven. When meeting up with a Scorpio, wear something that highlights your best features; however, Scorpios love mystery. Find a balance between sexy and modest. You do not want to dress like you're going to a job interview, but you also want to avoid dressing too provocatively.\nAt the same time, don't change your style because you think it might impress this person. If your style is a little risqué, then let the Scorpio see that is part of who you are. The most important thing is to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident. <img> Begin a conversation when a Scorpio is not busy. Scorpios are highly ambitious and can be intense about their work, and it's never a good idea to interrupt someone when they're very busy and can't focus on you. If you want to make contact with a Scorpio, wait until they have a free moment to strike up a conversation. \nIf you work with a Scorpio, for example, avoid approaching them when they're engaged with a task. Wait until a Scorpio is taking a break before attempting conversation.\nIf you're unsure if someone is working or not, read the signs. If the person seems preoccupied as you try to talk, they may be engaged in a task on their phone or may be thinking over a problem. If a Scorpio seems preoccupied, it's always best to walk away. <img> ",
"Stay true to yourself. Authenticity is an important part of pursuing a romance. Changing who you are, doing things that are against your morals or values, or behaving in a certain way just because you think the other person wants you to behave that way — these are not ways to form a lasting connection. It's more important important that you stay true to who you are — your interests, your traits and quirks, your values and personality — than that you fit the mold of what you think someone might want.\nKeep in mind that if someone doesn't like you for who you are, then they are not the right person for you. <img> Maintain some mystery. Scorpios like a partner that keeps them guessing. As you begin a romance, do not give away everything right away. Maintaining some mystery is key to wooing a Scorpio. \nDon't reveal too much about yourself right away. Withhold certain details about your life, hobbies, and passions. You want to keep a Scorpio guessing for a bit. If they know there's more to discover, they're more likely to continue pursuing you.\nHowever, never be deceitful. Reveal information gradually, but never lie or misrepresent yourself. Scorpios (and most people) dislike deception. You can be mysterious without outright lying to a Scorpio.\nRemember, if you're a \"heart-on-your-sleeve\" type, don't pretend that you're not. If you like to lay it all out on the table, then go ahead. Don't pretend to be mysterious if that's not who you are. <img> Give genuine compliments to a Scorpio. Scorpios tend to be very honest, about themselves and others. If you feel the inclination to compliment a Scorpio, keep it realistic. Too much flattery or excessive compliments may make a Scorpio suspicious. Only compliment a Scorpio on traits you genuinely admire.\nTry to observe how the person accepts compliments. Sometimes they truly make a person uncomfortable, and sometimes they can make the person's day. Don't miss out on an opportunity to give someone a genuine compliment based only on their sign. <img> Plan suitable dates. If you and your Scorpio love learning and mystery, then plan dates that appeal to these interests. This will keep your Scorpio engaged and interested in you.\nIf you go to the movies, choose a movie with an intricate plot. Scorpios love movies that are a challenge to follow.\nMuseums can help Scorpios learn new things, so a date to a museum can be a great way to woo a Scorpio.\nGames or sports are also much appreciated by Scorpios, as they love the challenge. A game of chess may not seem romantic, but a Scorpio may appreciate it. <img> Allow things to progress naturally. Scorpios can sometimes take time to commit to a partner. Scorpios are unlikely to engage in anything they are less than passionate about, so don't be surprised if things move slowly. It will take time to earn a Scorpio's love. Once you do, however, you will have a highly loyal romantic partner. <img> Compete. Notice if your Scorpio loves a little competition. If you are also competitive, then you can plan activities that allow you to compete regularly (although be warned they do like to win). Play games, like chess and board games. Engage in sports or place bets. A good way to keep a Scorpio actively engaged in keeping a sense of competitiveness alive in the relationship. <img> Talk about your sexuality. Classic Scorpios are very sex driven, but it's very important that you make no assumptions in this area. Regardless of the person's sign, you will want to focus on reading their signals and even have a talk about individual preferences. Having a conversation about preferences and physical boundaries trumps any typical sign advice.\nA typical Scorpio is unlikely to be interested in casual sex.\nSex may be intense with a Scorpio. They may expect a lot of intimacy before and after sexual activity. <img> ",
"Remain loyal and trustworthy. Scorpios do not tolerate a person breaking their trust. They tend to be the jealous type and also expect a high amount of integrity from those around them. If you are not trustworthy or faithful, you can tank your relationship with a Scorpio.\nTalk to your partners about their boundaries and what you expect from each other in the relationship. For instance, harmless flirtatious behavior may not feel serious to you, but your partner may find this very hurtful or a violation of trust. It is important that you discuss what loyalty and trust means to you both.\nScorpios expect honesty and tend to give it in return. Lying to a Scorpio, even a white lie, is a bad idea. Never do anything that could potentially break a Scorpio's trust, as it is hard to win back. <img> Avoid invading a Scorpio's privacy. A classic Scorpio may need a lot of alone time. They can be mysterious by nature, and may be secretive and private about odd things. A Scorpio, for example, may never let their partner read their emails or use their laptop. This does not mean a Scorpio is hiding something. They just have a strong need for privacy. If you want the relationship to work, you should respect this boundary. <img> Support a Scorpio's passions. Scorpios are very driven people, and need a partner who will support them. Allow your Scorpio partner to pursue their passions. If you get between a Scorpio and their dreams, your relationship is less likely to work out. \nRemember, never disrupt a Scorpio at work. There may be times when a Scorpio is engaged with a task for a prolonged period of time. Let the Scorpio have this space to work and think. <img> Make sure you're compatible beyond your signs. Put your signs aside for the moment and ask yourself if you and this person are compatible based on who you are as individuals. Do you share common values, beliefs, interests? Can you trust each other, get along, and be vulnerable with one another? Can you be yourself around this person? If you are compatible in these ways, then you have a better chance of a longterm relationship.\nIf you also want to take your signs into account, you can find out which signs are thought to be most compatible with a Scorpio. Capricorn, Pisces, or other Scorpios, are thought to have a better chance of a long-term relationship.\nIf you're a Taurus, Gemini, or Cancer, you may have good chemistry with a Scorpio. You may have a fun short term love affair, but things may not work out long term.\nIf you're an Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, or Aquarius, it may not be a good idea to date a Scorpio.\nAgain, don't let your sign compatibility interfere with how you and the Scorpio match up when it comes to values, personality, and beliefs. <img> "

How to Dress for Arctic Weather Conditions | [
"t3mmGOf6DOvf",
"utpN5geGECCT"
] | [
"Check the weather of the exact part of the Arctic you're headed for. The Arctic covers a lot of ground, for example upper Finland, Russia and the North Pole. Look for weather forecasts from the internet or TV to see if it's going to windy, snowy or both. Even if the forecast says it will be one sort of weather though, prepare for the whole range of possibilities, as the weather changes quickly in this region. <img> Set aside the fashion statement. The important thing in dressing warmly is that you are warm and fashion isn't the issue. <img> Understand that the best clothes for cold weather in general are wind resistant, warm and won't let snow or anything else inside. <img> Keep an open mind about the appearance of clothing. Some of the clothing may not be the most fashionable but be the warmest and most comfortable for the climate you are going to. That is the key to being toasty warm when in the Arctic. <img> ",
"Dress in layers. When wearing multiple layers of clothing, warm air becomes trapped between each separate item. It is imperative to select the layers carefully to fully maximise the heat and to achieve constant comfort.\nTo dress up fashionably for cold weather, avoid a lot of puffy layers.\nIt is to start with layering lighter weight layers and work to the heavy layers as you go out.\nYou can wear coats and jackets of different colors. Choose to wear printed outfits. <img> Add the first layer. The first item garment should be fitted as close to the skin as possible for mobility and to take away excess perspiration as required. You can purchase base layer tops and bottoms that are specifically made to capture and release such fluids and are also coated with an anti-bacterial substance that will stop clothes from emitting odours.\nYou may find that a t-shirt plus a long-sleeved t-shirt make the best first layer.\nMerino wool tops make for a good initial layer, as these are wool and the latest iterations of this fabric are usually non-itchy. The wool is warm and helps prevent sweating.\nA thermal t-shirt is a good idea under a long-sleeved merino top. <img> Add the second layer. This should consist of a thick jumper or fleece, or an insulated jacket. You will find that zipped or buttoned clothes are excellent for the mid layer as they provide much needed ventilation after exerting activities. Trousers made from breathable materials are best for the second layer of clothing so air can travel around freely. <img> Add the final layer. This layer is the one that is exposed to the elements, so as well as providing warmth, it needs to be made of protective materials. A windproof, all-in-one with a hood is the perfect option, although separates can be just as effective. <img> Test the clothes in the shop for comfort and good fit. Ask questions. For example, if the clothing doesn't explain on the description what level of wind it protects against, for example, then ask the retailer for more information or check the manufacturer's website. If you can't find the needed details, keep looking for those items of clothing that are clearly explained; you don't want any errors when dressing for maximum warmth. <img> Choose a hat, a scarf, gloves and socks as well. Each item should be rated for the coldest environment.\nIt is often best to wear thinner gloves with thicker mittens over the top, for the greatest warmth.\nA balaclava is ideal for the face, or a ski mask.\nThe scarf should stay on without having to tie it, to avoid undoing and blowing away in severe winds; an infinity scarf is a good option.\nFor the hat, choose something that covers the ears and forehead and will fit under the jacket's hood. <img> Check what the locals are wearing, on arrival. You may find it useful to purchase an item when you arrive in a town if you see many people wearing the same jacket for winter, it's usually the warm one! <img> "

How to Fit Skirting Boards | [
"fqGXU7jCeZbZ",
"hh2TRh5sTl4v",
"CYT6sivTSb8W"
] | [
"Remove any old skirting board with a bolster chisel. Use a hammer to gently tap the blade of a bolster chisel between the skirting board and the wall. Insert a crowbar in the gap and gently pry the board away from the wall.\nPlace a scrap piece of wood between the back of the chisel and the wall to avoid damaging it as you pry off the baseboards.\nWork your way along the total length of the boards with this process until you can easily pull them away from the wall. <img> Use a tape measure to measure the walls you want to fit skirting board too. Stretch out your tape measure along the bottom of each wall and write down each measurement. Add them up when you finish to get the total length of skirting board that you will use.\nYou could draw a rough diagram of the room on a piece of paper and write down the measurements next to each wall on the drawing to visualize better. <img> Buy 20% more length of skirting board than you need for the room. For example, if the total length of skirting board for the room you need is 30 ft (9.1 m), then buy at least 36 ft (11 m) of board. This will allow for losses when you cut boards and end up with small pieces you can’t use.\nYou can get your skirting boards from a home improvement center. They are also known as baseboards.\nUse a calculator to multiply the length of skirting board you need by 1.2 to add 20%. <img> ",
"Start with a wall with internal corners and cut square ends on a board. Measure the longest wall that has 2 internal corners. Use a pencil to mark where to cut on the back of a piece of skirting board to fit it on the wall. Use a miter saw to make straight cuts on the board so that it fits tightly between the internal corners.\nThese are the easiest cuts to make, so get them out of the way first. This will give you a good starting point from which to fit the other skirting boards.\nUse a miter saw for all cuts to make them perfectly straight. <img> Cut boards with a coping saw so they fit into the face of the 1st board. Cut a 45 degree angle on the end of a board that will slot against the square-edged board. Use a coping saw to cut away the excess. Follow the profile of the skirting board so that it will slot into the face of the other board in the internal corner.\nThis process, called scribing, takes a bit of practice to get the boards to fit. Practice on a piece of scrap first to get the hang of using the coping saw to cut along the profile of the board. <img> Plan out your cuts so that you don’t need to scribe 2 ends of a board. For instance, for all walls with 2 internal corners, other than the wall you started with, cut 1 end of the boards square. Then scribe the end of the next board you cut to slot into the square end of the last board.\nIt’s easiest to work your way around the room in a clockwise direction as you fit boards together. <img> Use a miter saw to cut boards at a 45 degree angle for external corners. Measure where the end of a board will reach an external corner and mark the back of the board where you will cut. Place the board in your miter saw with the back facing you and cut the 45 degree angle so that the cut is on the back of the board.\nThe back edge of your cut should be lined up with the corner of the wall. <img> Cut the next board for the external corner at an opposite 45 degree angle. Move the miter saw to the other side of its axis to cut the next board that will fit on the external corner. For example, if you cut the first board with your miter saw at a 45 degree angle to the left, now move it to a 45 degree angle to the right for the next cut.\nFit the two boards together at the external corner and make any small adjustments to the cuts until they fit snug against the wall and each other.\nUse a leveler to ensure that the two boards are level and perpendicular to one another. <img> ",
"Attach boards to a plasterboard wall with instant-grab adhesive. Spread instant-grab adhesive in a zig-zag pattern on the back of the boards. Press them against the wall with the bottom edges tight against the ground. Wipe away any excess adhesive that seeps out of the edges.\nIf you are installing new carpet or flooring, make sure to attach the boards after it is installed so they go in at the right level and tight against the new flooring.\nInstant-grab adhesive is the easiest and quickest way to attach skirting boards to a plasterboard wall. <img> Screw the boards into the studs inside a plaster wall instead of using glue. Find the studs in the plaster wall and mark their position on the wall and on the skirting board. Drill a pilot hole into the board and countersink the hole with a larger drill bit. Screw the boards into place.\nIt’s important to countersink the holes so that the heads of the screws are below the surface of the baseboard and you can cover them with wood filler. <img> Fill gaps with decorator’s caulk and cover any screws with wood filler. Use decorator’s caulk to fill any gaps between the boards and the wall or where the boards meet. Cover the heads of any screws with wood filler where you countersank them into the skirting boards.\nMake sure to wipe away any excess caulking or wood filler before it dries to get a smooth finish.\nLet all caulking and wood filler dry completely before you paint the boards or walls. <img> "

How to Get Whites White | [

] | [
"Apply liquid enzyme detergent to stains prior to washing. If you spilled soup over your white t-shirt or noticed the armpit sweat stains after wearing it, attack those spots immediately without letting them set. Rub some liquid enzyme detergent on the stained area, and let your t-shirt wait for 15 minutes or more before washing it with your laundry.\nRead the description on the detergent bottle to ensure that it includes different enzymes designed to fight dirt. <img> Presoak your discolored whites with washing soda in hot water. If your white shirts lost their brightness or got discolored, put them in a bucket full of hot water and ½ cup of washing soda. Let them sit up to a day, and throw them in the washer. <img> Remove tough stains with a presoak of lemon juice, salt, and washing powder. Prepare a hot water soak with 1 tablespoon of salt, the juice of 3 lemons, and ¼ cup of washing powder. Have your clothes in the presoak for 45 minutes, and then rinse them a few times. <img> Rub sweat marks with baking soda and lemon. To counter the yellowing of whites due to perspiration, pour 1 tablespoon of baking soda onto the sweat area. Cut a lemon in half, and rub its cut side onto the same spot. Let it sit for 15 minutes, and wash as normal.\nThis method works for rust stains as well, though you should let the cloth sit overnight. The next day, rinse it with cold water, since hot water might let the rust set instead. Repeat if the stain persists. <img> Remove a red wine spill with salt and club soda. Red wine stains on a nice white shirt can look especially alarming, but if you handle the stain immediately, you might have a shot at salvaging your shirt! Pour salt onto the spot so it absorbs the moisture. Wait for 10 minutes, then scrape the salt off. Wet the stain with club soda before washing the shirt as usual. <img> Drench grass and ink stains in vodka. If you have green grass marks or ink spill on your whites, pour some cheap vodka onto the dirty parts, and let the alcohol do its magic. Then wash your clothes in the laundry.\nVodka works for tree sap or lipstick stains as well. <img> Experiment with lemon juice, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide rubs for other stains. All of these products are natural stain removers, and can be effective depending on the nature of the stain. Try rubbing them onto the dirty spot and letting the cloth sit for a while. Rinse afterwards, and see if there are any improvements.\nTo use vinegar, mix equal parts vinegar and warm water, apply it to the stains, and let it sit for 1-2 hours before washing.\nYou can also use baking soda mixed with water as a pre-stain treatment. Just mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water and scrub the mixture into the stain. Let it sit for 1-2 hours before washing. <img> ",
"Check the clothing label to see if the garment is bleachable. Before applying any chemical products like bleach on your clothes, pay attention to the label instructions often sealed to the inner side of the fabric. Look for a triangle, which is a sign for using bleach.\nIf there are two lines inside the triangle, that stands for using only non-chlorine bleach. If there is a cross over the triangle, then do not bleach this garment, as it’s likely going to harm its fabric or color.\nSee if it suggests machine washing, hand washing, or dry-cleaning. <img> Start your wash with only detergent before putting your clothes in. Wait for 5 minutes or until the water gets soapy. Waiting is important, since many detergents take several minutes to activate their enzymes, and bleach will cease this reaction.\nFor an enhanced clean, add a 1/2 cup of baking soda in with the detergent. <img> Add bleach to the water after 5 minutes. In general, add 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) of bleach to the water. Give the bleach a few minutes to settle before adding your clothing to the water.\nToo much bleach can actually damage or yellow your whites, so measure the bleach and water carefully.\nNever add bleach on top of clothing.\nIf you used baking soda with detergent, reduce the amount of bleach by half.\nAfter the cycle ends, check for any color changes in your clothes. If there is any, immediately rinse by hand. <img> Add distilled white vinegar to your regular wash for a more natural solution. White vinegar helps remove dirt while softening fabrics naturally, eliminating the need for a chemical fabric softener. Simply use ½ to 1 cup of distilled white vinegar along with the detergent in your washer.\nThe vinegar scent will be present when the clothes are wet, but it will fade and dissipate as they dry.\nDo not use bleach along with vinegar, as their reaction will cause toxic chlorine gas.\nUse ½ cup of baking soda if you don’t have white vinegar for a similar effect. <img> Use hydrogen peroxide in your regular wash for non-bleach whitening. Since it doesn’t contain bleach, which might be harmful for some fabrics, hydrogen peroxide is a great alternative for whitening garments. Add ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide along with detergent in the washer.\nUse 3% solution hydrogen peroxide, which is readily available at many grocery stores or drug stores. <img> Add dishwashing detergent to the washer as an alternative whitener. Use detergent as normal, and include ¼ cup of dishwashing detergent in addition. For an environmental friendly option, go for a dishwashing product that doesn’t contain phosphate or chlorine. <img> Use lemon juice along with detergent in the washer for an organic solution. Lemon juice is great for brightening clothes as well as refreshing fabrics. Use ¼ to ½ cup of lemon juice in addition to detergent in your regular wash for whiter whites. <img> ",
"Wash your whites regularly and separately. The less time stains have to set, the less stubborn they will be to remove. This especially applies to yellow stains under the armpits from perspiration and deodorants. Make sure to wash your white clothes after one or two wears to keep them clean and white.\nNever wash white clothes with colored ones, as it might cause discoloration. <img> Omit the fabric softener. Chemical-based fabric softeners often do more harm than good on your white clothes, as the residue left from the softener makes the dirt stick on the fabric more. You can use white vinegar instead as a natural softener. <img> Air-dry your clothes in the sun. The sun rays acts as a natural whitener, and the air leaves the clothes smelling fresh and clean. If possible, set a clothes rack or rope in your garden or balcony for air-drying your whites. <img> "

How to Dance at a Wedding | [

] | [
"Hold your partner close for a simple dance position. If the song is slow and you don't want to get too fancy, an easy position is to just embrace each other if you don't mind getting close. One person could have their hands around the other's neck, while the other has their hands around the first person's back. <img> Sway to the beat if you don't know any fancy moves. This technique works best in an embracing position. You can just step side to side and move your body slowly back and forth to the beat. The important thing is to be close to your partner. <img> Work on the traditional dancing hold for a bit of elegance. Traditionally, you have a leader and a follower in a dance hold. If you're the leader, face the follower and place your right arm on the other person's back on the left side just behind their shoulder. If you're the follower, place your left arm on top of the leader's right arm and grab their upper arm. Then, both of you extend your other arm out to the side and clasp hands.\nTypically, you're about 1 foot (0.30 m) apart in this position, though you can get closer. <img> Guide your partner if you're the leader. The reason you have a leader when you're dancing is so that you don't trip all over each other. To guide your partner as the leader, apply light pressure with both hands, moving your partner the direction you want to go.\nFor instance, if you want to start turning to the right, pull a little with your right hand on their shoulder while you push a little with your left hand that's clasped in theirs.\nIf you're the follower, make sure you are relaxed, engage with your partner, and make sure you're paying attention to your partner's cues and moving with them. <img> Add a twirl if you want a little flair. If you're bored with just swaying, one of you can spin the other. To do so, step back a little and lift the other person's arm above their head. Then they can turn around under it while still holding on.\nDon't get too crazy with your twirls. You don't want to take another couple out! <img> ",
"Dance together with a simple step-touch step. To do it, simply step out with your right foot on the beat. Bring your left foot over and tap it next to your right foot on the upbeat (the light beats between the louder beats). Then go in the opposite direction. Step out with your left foot and tap with the right foot next to your left.\nYou can do this basic move by yourself on a fast song or with a partner on a fast or slow song.\nWhen dancing with a partner, get into the traditional dance hold. Both of you can step-touch at the same time, but you'll be stepping out with the opposite foot. So if you're the leader, you'll step out with your right foot first while your partner steps out with their left. <img> Move around the floor while doing the step-touch. You don't have to stand in one place with this move. The key to moving around the floor is to change positions when you step out. So if you want to turn to your right, step to the right and to the back a little. When you step with your left foot, step forward and to the right a bit instead of out to the left. With each step, you're moving to the right, which will eventually turn you toward that direction.\nAlways guide your partner when moving if you're the leader. As the follower, always pay attention to your partner's guidance! <img> Try a basic foxtrot step. For this step, if you're the leader, start with your left foot; the follower starts with the right. As the leader, step forward with your left foot and then step forward with your right foot on the beats; if you're the follower, step backward with your right foot and then backward with your left foot. Then, if you're the leader, you'll step to the left with your left foot and \"close\" the step by bringing in your right foot; the follower will do the opposite, stepping out with the right foot and bringing in the left foot to close.\nThese movements are considered \"slow-slow-quick-quick,\" meaning the forward/backward movement is done more slowly and the step out/close is done more quickly.\nKeep your back straight but bend your knees a little with this movement.\nIf you're the leader, make sure you're gently guiding your partner around the room with hand pressure on the shoulder and through your clasped hands. <img> ",
"Bounce and sway if you don't feel like you're up to dance steps. This move is very simple. Spread your feet apart to shoulder-width. Bend your knees and dip your body slightly when you hear the \"boom\" part of the beat. Bounce back up when you hear the \"clap\" or the second part of the beat (known as the upbeat). So basically, you're just bouncing your body up and down by bending your knees.\nTo make this move look less stiff, move your upper body, too. Twist your upper body back and forth a bit on the beat or sway back and forth. Bring your arms up and snap along as you turn to the beat. Alternatively, just bend your arms at the elbows and swing them to the left and right as you turn your body. <img> Try a basic step-touch to the beat. Step out with your right foot to the side on the beat. Bring your left foot over to tap next to your right foot on the beat, dipping your body down slightly as you do. Then, step out with your left foot to the side and bring your right foot over to tap, dipping your body slightly. Keep going back forth on the beat.\nDon't be afraid to use your arms, too. Try bending them at the elbows and swinging them along with your step-touch move to the beat. <img> Work on making a box with your step-touch. Step out with your right foot to the side and tap with your left foot like you normally would with the step-touch. However, when you step out with your left foot, go to the left but go back a step at the same time, so you're making a diagonal move. Bring your right foot back to meet your left and tap, then step out with your right foot to the right side. After tapping with your left foot, move it forward and to the left at the same time, making a diagonal movement. Bring your right foot up to meet it.\nWhen you step out with your right, you're making the top of the box. Then when you move with your left, you go diagonally across the box. The right step at the back makes the bottom of the box, and then you move diagonally across it again.\nStart over again once you get back to your first position!\nThis adds some fun movement without getting too crazy. <img> Move forward or back with your step-touch. Step back with your right foot and bring your left foot back to meet it, tapping as you do. Pivot your feet slightly to the left by putting your weight on your heels and moving your toes around. Step back with your left foot and bring your right foot back to tap. Keep moving back this way for a few steps. To move forward, do the opposite, stepping forward instead of backward.\nThis is similar to the box move. However, instead of returning to the starting position, you keep moving backward or forward.\nTry swinging your hips out to the side as you step backward or forward. <img> ",
"Grab hands with the other dancers in the circle. Your right hand should be palm up while your left hand should be palm down. Find a place in the circle and grab the hands of the people next to you!\nIn some Jewish traditions, women and men will be in different circles, so pay attention and join the correct one! <img> Step out with your left foot, then do the step-behind movement. Move your left foot out to the side and put your weight on it. Then, bring your right foot behind your left foot. Move your left foot out to the left again.\nThis part of the movement is fairly quick, going on the beat and then the upbeat. The kicks that follow are on the beat. <img> Kick out with your right foot. As you shift your weight to your left foot, do a little hop and kick your right foot out. Just kick it up in the air so that it goes out in front of your left foot a little ways.\nYou don't have to leap up in the air for the \"hop.\" It's just a little bounce on your left foot. <img> Step down with your right and kick out with your left. As you bring your right foot down, hop a little on it. As you do, kick your left foot out in front of your right foot, just like you did when you kicked the other way. <img> Repeat the movement, going to the left. Once you've got this step down, it's just a matter of repeating it through the whole song! As you do, the circle of dancers will slowly move to the left because you keep stepping out with your left foot as part of the movement.\nKeep the movement at the level you're comfortable with. If you don't want to hop or kick very high, that's fine! Also, don't worry about making a mistake. You're definitely not that only one. <img> "

How to Do Uterine Massage | [
"j12obkuw5KN2",
"TqhDYONGbzPE"
] | [
"Urinate before starting the massage. Be sure to urinate before massaging your uterus. A full bladder will press against the uterus, making it relax and bleed more extensively. Emptying your bladder will also make it easier to concentrate on the massage. <img> Lie down somewhere comfortable. Choose a comfortable spot to lie down for your massage (e.g. your bed or a yoga mat). If possible, choose a quiet room with very few distractions. Lie completely flat on your back. <img> Press and rub your abdomen. Hold your hand flat and use the entire length of it to press downwards on your abdomen, starting just below your navel. As you press down, rub your hand in a gentle, circular motion. Brace yourself for cramping or extra bleeding, which is likely to occur during the first few moments of the massage.\nIf pain relievers have been approved by your physician, take ibuprofen before massaging your uterus to reduce the pain from cramping. <img> Seek assistance from an obstetrician, nurse, or midwife. To ensure that you perform postnatal uterine massage properly, ask your obstetrician, nurse, or midwife to demonstrate it prior to attempting it yourself. If you are concerned that the massage is not working, or that something may be wrong, contact your physician immediately. Signs of a problem could include:\nSevere abdominal pain\nPain when urinating\nDizziness or fainting\nVaginal bleeding that gets heavier over time (instead of getting progressively lighter) <img> ",
"Time your fertility self-massage. Uterine massage should be conducted at certain points of your menstrual cycle and avoided at others. Perform your uterine self-massage during the period of pre-ovulation and ovulation, when conditions are ideal for insemination.\nAvoid uterine massage if you are pregnant, or suspect that you might be, particularly during the first trimester.\nDuring menstrual days, it's recommended to perform lighter abdominal massages. <img> Gently massage your lower abdomen. Uterine massage for fertility should be conducted in largely the same way as postnatal uterus massage, if not slightly more intense due to the lack of pain and sensitivity. Use the flat of your hand and fingers to gently press and rub your abdomen in circular motions. Press gently on your abdomen, just above the pubic bone, and push upwards, gently but firmly, as if you move the uterus upwards. Repeat this motion 15 times.\nThe massage should last approximately 5 minutes.\nIf you are going to do a self uterine massage during menstrual days, perform a light circular massage with your fingertips around your lower belly area. This gentler massage may help with menstrual pain. <img> Make the experience relaxing. To enhance your uterine massage, play tranquil music and use a calming scented oil (e.g. lavender) when massaging your abdomen. Stress can contribute to fertility problems and adversely affect your health, so any relaxation is beneficial in helping you conceive. Group your regular uterine massage together with other calming activities like yoga, light exercise, or journal-writing for additional benefits. <img> Do self uterine massage for 1-3 months. For best results, give yourself regular uterine massages for a period of one to three months. Conducting the massage daily should reposition the uterus and clear any blockages preventing conception within this time frame. Regular massaging will also improve circulation, which will have benefits for your fertility and overall health.\nDuring menstrual days, opt for a gentler abdominal massage instead of a uterine massage. <img> Get a Maya abdominal massage. Maya abdominal massage has been used to increase fertility, improve digestion, ease menstrual cramps, and improve symptoms of menopause. Look online for massage therapists near you practicing Maya abdominal massage, which is gaining popularity. Schedule an appointment to fall between the end of your period and ovulation, as many practitioners of Maya abdominal massage will decline to conduct the massage when you are menstruating or may be pregnant. <img> Consult a physician or fertility specialist. Before embarking on any fertility boosting measures, consult your doctor to ensure their safety. Your physician may give you a referral to a fertility specialist who can offer more comprehensive help in your attempts to conceive. You can also contact an organization like the American Society for Reproductive Medicine for more information about reputable fertility specialists in your area. <img> "

How to Prevent Homemade Ice Cream from Crystallizing | [
"XIUf6XpBhdPv",
"5AFkFZz6ZhYJ",
"aEDYLX2Uej3U"
] | [
"Set your freezer to the coldest temperature before you make ice cream. Open your freezer a day or two before you plan on making your ice cream and turn the temperature dial to the coldest setting available. If you have a digital control panel on your freezer, use that to turn the temperature down instead. The colder you make the freezer, the less likely you will be to run into ice crystals forming on your ice cream.\nIf you don’t have control over the temperature of your freezer or your freezer is already as cold as it can get, don’t worry about it. There are plenty of other ways to keep things cold!\nThe goal here is to get the ice cream to freeze as fast as possible. The longer the ice cream sits unfrozen, the more time the moisture in your ice cream has to form ice crystals. <img> Leave your mixing bowl in the freezer for 24 hours ahead of time. Nearly every homemade ice cream recipe requires a large bowl where you mix your ingredients. Freeze this bowl for 24 hours before making your ice cream so that your ingredients start freezing as soon as you pour them into the bowl. If you plan on transferring your ingredients from a mixing bowl to another dish before putting it in the freezer, freeze that too.\nThe same applies to your ice cream maker if you’re using one. Set the ice cream maker inside of your freezer 24 hours before you make your ice cream. Don’t worry about damaging the components—the machine is designed to get cold!\nIt probably doesn’t make a big difference, but you may get fewer ice crystals if you freeze the ice cream in a wide, shallow dish instead of a giant bowl. <img> Freeze any solid ingredients you plan to mix in for 8-12 hours. If you’re adding brownie bites, cookie dough, sprinkles, or chocolate chips to your ice cream, set the ingredients inside of your freezer the night 8-12 hours before you plan on making your ice cream. This way, your mix-ins will be colder than the other ice cream ingredients when you add them to the mixture.\nIf the ingredients you’re mixing in are at room temperature, they may keep the ice cream from freezing as fast as it otherwise would. The longer it takes the ice cream to freeze when you place it in the freezer, the more likely it will be to crystallize. <img> Chill liquid ingredients in the refrigerator for 12 hours before using them. Refrigerate any liquid ingredients you’re using for at least 12 hours before you make your ice cream. This will give the cream, milk, or water time to cool, which will reduce the amount of ice that ends up on your ice cream once you take it out of the freezer.\nYou don’t need to do this if you’re making custard-based ice cream since you’re going to heat the ingredients before freezing the ice cream anyway.\nIf you’re in a rush or you forgot to chill your ingredients, pour your liquid ingredients into plastic food storage bags and give them an ice bath for 20-30 minutes. <img> Let your ice cream maker run for 15 minutes so it gets cold. If you happen to have one of those ice cream makers that churn the ingredients for you, take it out of the freezer and turn it on for at least 15 minutes before you start adding or mixing any ingredients. This will give the ice cream maker time to get as cold as possible before you start adding anything.\nDon’t worry about the bowl spinning inside without anything in the machine; you won’t damage your ice cream maker by doing this. <img> ",
"Opt for custard-based recipes over Philadelphia-style options. The two most popular homemade ice cream styles are Philadelphia-style and custard-based. Custard-based options require eggs, which helps the ice cream freeze firm, while Philadelphia-style ice cream doesn’t. As a result, the custard-based recipes are much better if you want creamy, ice-free ice cream.\nSicilian-style ice cream, which utilizes cornstarch to thicken the ice cream, is also a great option if you’re trying to keep ice out of your ice cream. Unfortunately, cornstarch starts to break down when it’s frozen, so eat your ice cream sooner rather than later if you go this route. <img> Choose waterless recipes or cut back on the water required. If you make a water-based recipe and it turns out icy, cut the water in half the next time you make the ice cream. Even better, choose a recipe that doesn’t involve water at all. The more water there is in your ice cream, the more likely it will be to form ice crystals.\nYou can normally swap out water for coconut milk or heavy cream. It may depend on the recipe or what your dietary restrictions are, though. Most people make homemade ice cream with water to avoid dairy, so you may not be able to change anything out. <img> Add liquor to the recipe for a fun, adult version that won’t ice over. Use roughly 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) of liquor for every 1 US quart (0.95 L) of ice cream that you’re making. Alcohol will keep the ice cream from crystallizing, and it will add a dynamic flavor you’re looking for a boozy, creamy treat. Vodka will be pretty hard to detect, while rum is a great option for anything with raisins or cinnamon in it. Bourbon and scotch are fun options as well.\nThis should keep any recipes with water in them from icing over as well. <img> Measure your sugar and fatty ingredients carefully and don’t adjust them. Most homemade ice cream recipes that you find online require a sugar and a fat (usually from cream or eggs). Do not modify these ratios and measure these ingredients out carefully. If there isn’t enough sugar or fat, or one of the ingredients overpowers the other, the ice cream may end up coagulating or separating as it freezes. This will give ice crystals plenty of space to form on your ice cream.\nYou may be able to get away with using more sugar, cream, or egg, but it’s generally better to stick to the recipe until you’ve mastered ice-free ice cream. <img> Transfer the ice cream to the freezer as fast as possible once it’s mixed. Clear a space out in your freezer for the ice cream ahead of time so that you aren’t fumbling around to make room. Open the freezer before you start mixing, or have a friend or family member open the freezer for you to make the transfer seamless. Once you’ve mixed your ice cream or finished running your ice cream maker, get your ice cream in the freezer as fast as you possibly can!\nIf the ingredients have time to sit out at room temperature, the cream will coagulate together and leave large chunks of water that are highly likely to crystallize. <img> ",
"Set the ice cream in the back of the freezer to keep it as cool as possible. Since the freezing air comes in from the back of the freezer, the very back of the freezer is a few degrees colder than the front half. As a result, your ice cream is more likely to end up creamy and delicious if you set it against the very back of the freezer.\nIf you’re using one of those chest-style freezers, set your ice cream at the bottom. <img> Cover your ice cream with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. After you place the ice cream in the freezer, cover it with plastic wrap. This will keep the top layer of ice cream from getting freezer burn, which can cause ice crystals to form.\nYou can always set a plate or flat object on top of the ice cream to protect it if you prefer. <img> Let the ice cream sit out for 5-10 minutes before eating it. When you’re ready to eat your ice cream, take it out and set it on the counter or table for 5-10 minutes. Any ice crystals that are sitting on the surface of your ice cream will dissipate and the ice inside of the ice cream will soften up considerably. It will also make your ice cream a little creamier, and you’re more likely to enjoy it! <img> Microwave your ice cream for 10 seconds before eating it if it’s visibly icy. If you see ice crystals sticking all over your ice cream when you take it out of the freezer, throw it in the microwave and zap it for 10 seconds. Then, check on your ice cream. If there’s no ice, it’s ready to go! If you still see a little ice, microwave it for another 5-10 seconds. Keep doing this until you don’t see any ice on your ice cream and enjoy!\nIf the ice melts, you won’t have that frustrating crunch with each bite. Microwaving ice cream may mess with the texture a little, but it’s better than biting into a chunk of ice every time you go to take a bite! <img> "

How to Find Deer | [

"rkZPml30h2Qu"
] | [
"Choose your area. Walk into legal hunting grounds where there are woods. If you're hunting or tracking deer on someone else's property, ask where deer tend to bed and where the most common place to see deer is. This will help you decide where to start.\nTypically, deer prefer covered areas to make their beds in. Look for ditches and hollows with dense cover or thickets crowded with brush. They often bed along stream bottoms or on southward-facing slopes to keep warm in the sunlight. <img> Choose your time. Deer are mostly nocturnal, but they can also be seen out in the daytime. However, since they usually sleep during the day (and it is hard to see them at night), the best times to search for deer are early in the morning or at dusk when the sun is going down. These are their normal feeding times and the time you will be most likely to catch a glimpse of them. <img> Search for visible signs of deer. There is often evidence of deer all around you if you know where to look for it. Keep an eye out for indicators that deer have been in the area like tracks or droppings.\nDeer droppings are usually small, jellybean shaped pellets that are dark brown in color. Sometimes the droppings appear as a bunch of separate pellets, sometimes as a bunch of pellets clumped together.\nYou can also try staying stationary in an area that is known to often be frequented by deer so that you can simply wait and watch/listen for the deer.\nMake sure you are moving through the woods as quietly as possible to avoid spooking any deer that might be nearby. <img> Look for places deer would be attracted to. Deer usually bed in areas of thick brush; these are good places to begin your search. You can also search for edible vegetation that deer feed on like wild grasses, greenbriar, dandelions, or acorns. <img> Be as quiet as possible. Deer have very keen senses of sight and sound. Try to be as silent as you can while you are tracking through the woods. If you are too noisy, they will hear you long before you notice them and you will miss your chance. <img> Continue searching. Follow the tracks and keep searching for signs of deer until you encounter the animals. This takes patience, but is worth it in the end. <img> ",
"Find deer tracks. If there is moisture or snow on the ground, this will make it easier to locate tracks. Deer tracks are easiest to spot in snow or soft dirt/mud that is malleable to the touch and will reposition into a track when an animal steps on it. <img> Look at the features of the tracks. When you find deer tracks, you can use them as evidence to help you determine how many deer were present and how big they were. Deer tracks have two “toes” and a marking at the base of the track. Deer have cloven hooves which means they're split down the middle. Deer tracks normally look like the image below. Generally, the bigger the track, the bigger the deer.\nRemember, if you see larger tracks accompanied by small tracks, you may be following a doe with a fawn. You do not want to kill a mother deer as this will orphan the fawn. <img> Determine if tracks are fresh or old. If the tracks seem frozen over or are messed up by other tracks, they are most likely old. If there has been a recent snow and there are uncovered tracks in it, they are probably new. <img> ",
"Clear the area ahead of time. If you're looking to kill a deer for venison, it is important to prepare the area where you will build the stand well ahead of the time you plan to begin hunting. This will ensure that your scent is clear of the path by the time you want to hunt. You should clear away some of the noisy ground brush so that you will be able to access your stand without making too much noise. <img> Build the stand. There are several different kinds of hunting stands to choose from. Decide which one works best for you and the area in which you want to hunt. Both types of blinds should be built in areas of heavy deer traffic to increase your chance of encountering a deer while you wait. Be sure to do plenty of scouting around the area before you choose the location to build your stand. Look for deer beds and signs of grazing.\nGround blind/stand. A ground stand requires less work to construct than a tree stand. You can actually build it out of natural materials. Try to find a tree to rest against and then use sticks, leaves, and brush to build up a natural cover that blocks your lower body. Make sure you pick a slightly elevated spot so that you can see animals that approach.\nTree stand. A tree stand is a good idea if you are in a heavily wooded area. But make sure there is plenty of leaf cover or branches surrounding your stand, otherwise your silhouette will be noticeable. Use all safety features for the stand (like a climbing harness during construction) to make it completely secure and be cautious when entering and exiting the tree stand. One misstep could mean disaster if you fall.\nMake sure you follow all of the manufacturer's directions when constructing the tree stand. If you skip a step in the building process, it could easily make your tree stand unsafe and dangerous for you to use. <img> Prepare your area. Install a rest for your rifle. Some models are designed to wrap around the hunter while they are seated; these are ideal for use in tree stands. Make sure all pieces of your blind/stand are silenced in whatever way possible. Cover your seat with fleece, lubricate any moving parts, encase chains in tubing, and bring a piece of old carpet for the floor of your stand. All of these things will help reduce the noise while you wait. <img> Wait for the deer to come to you. Deer travel all day, so you may be waiting for a long time. Bring a book or something to keep yourself occupied. Bring plenty of food and water to last the duration of your hunting excursion. Be prepared to exit your stand when necessary to stretch, or take care of other personal needs. Occasionally moving around will make the waiting more tolerable. <img> ",
"Find the location of the deer when it was shot. When you initially shoot the deer, try to watch closely for the path it takes when it runs after being shot. Once it runs away, go toward the place you last saw it, probably the spot where it was shot, and look for signs of the deer. There should be at least some blood here, so it should be fairly simple to locate. . <img> Search for directional signs. Try to figure out which way the deer when by looking for visible signs. Try to find evidence of blood on the ground or on nearby brush. There may also be broken branches and other disrupted vegetation as a result of the deer's hurried exit. If there are tracks and blood, follow them. Keep looking for the next sign of blood or the next set of tracks as you make your way toward the injured deer.\nIt is easier to track deer in the snow but it is still possible to track them out of it. You just need to look for signs of blood and disrupted/broken brush or vegetation. <img> Kill the deer when you find it. If you hit the deer in the gut, it is likely the deer will not die for a while as it will bleed to death. Be cautious when pursing a wounded animal; they are more unpredictable and can be dangerous. If you can, stay back and shoot it again in a fatal place when it has stopped to rest. You are aiming for a quick, humane kill on the animal whose meat will help sustain you. <img> "

How to Make a Rose Braid | [
"ahwFSDT6yBll",
"rpuLNowtiQmm"
] | [
"Tie a handful of hair on your crown into a small ponytail. Rose braids work the best with a small amount of hair that can be manipulated. Grab some hair from the front and sides of your face and pull it back onto the crown of your head. Use a small hair tie to tie your hair into a ponytail. Leave the majority of your hair loose.\nUse a clear hair tie to keep your ponytail as subtle as possible.\nYou can braid the sides of your hair if you’d like an extra accent. <img> Separate the hair in your ponytail into 2 even sections. Use your fingers to gently comb through the hair in your ponytail. Section your hair into 2 parts that are mostly even. The sections don’t have to be perfect, but the more even they are, the better your rose will look in the end.\nDepending on the thickness of your hair, these sections can be fairly large or quite thin. <img> Twist each section individually in the same direction. Start from the top of the hair nearest the hair tie. Gently twist 1 section of hair to the right until you reach the bottom of your hair. Keep the section twisted by pinching it or having a friend hold it in place. Repeat the twist to the right on the other section of your hair.\nMake sure the twists are tight enough that there are minimal flyaways.\nAdd some hairspray or gel to tame your flyaways. <img> Twist the sections of your hair together to the left. Create a twist braid by twisting the sections of your hair together in the opposite direction. Wind them together keeping your twist going to the left. Secure your twist braid with a small elastic at the bottom of your hair.\nIf your twists are not tight enough, they will not hold in a twist braid. Try to twist the sections of your hair tighter if they fall out of the braid. <img> Grab the end of the twist braid and spin it up and around itself. Lay the edges of the twist braid down on the back of your head until it is mostly flat. Tuck the end of your braid underneath of the rest so it is hidden. <img> Secure your rose braid with bobby pins. Use bobby pins that closely match the color of your hair. Pin at least 4 bobby pins into your hair around the edges of the rose braid. Pin most of the bobby pins around the edges of the braid where flyaways are most likely to happen. You may need to add more bobby pins if your hair is especially thick.Tip: Keep some bobby pins handy as you go about your day in case your braid falls out.\n\nUse a light spritz of hairspray for extra hold. <img> ",
"Create 2 French braids on either side of the crown of your head. Grab 3 strands of hair from the front of your head. Braid them together, adding more hair each time you cross a section over itself. Use the hair from your head that you would use to make a half-up half-down hairstyle. Do this on both sides of your hair, but do not connect the braids. Secure each braid with a small hair tie.\nUse a clear hair tie to be as unobtrusive as possible. <img> Pull your French braids so they are loose. Start from the top of each French braid. Pull on each section of the braid to make your braid slightly loose. Do not pull so hard that you undo the braid. Focus on the ends of the French braid especially.\nA loose French braid is called a lace effect. <img> Twist 1 French braid into a circle on the back of your head. Grab the end of 1 French braid. Twist it up over itself to create a small circle as big as you want your flower. Depending on the length of your hair, you may have to twist it more or less times. Tuck the end of the French braid underneath itself to hide the hair tie.Tip: If you have especially long hair, you may be able to make an entire rose out of 1 French braid. In that case, use your second French braid to make another rose. <img> Secure the French braid into place with bobby pins. Use 2 to 4 bobby pins to attach the French braid to the back of your head. If your hair is super thick, you may need more bobby pins. Focus the pins on the edges of the French braid in case it comes apart. <img> Twist the second French braid under the first one and secure it. Grab the French braid that is hanging loose and twist it up and underneath of the first French braid. Wrap it around the first French braid until it is fully hidden underneath of it. This will give your flower more volume and add more petals. Use 5 to 10 bobby pins to secure the rose to your head.\nIf you are making a second rose, twist the second French braid up and over itself into a rose shape next to the first one. Secure it with bobby pins.\nUse some hairspray to keep your braid even more secure. <img> "

How to French Braid Short Hair | [
"fKYaSgf5x2VW",
"ZOL6hLF5a5yk"
] | [
"Begin with dry hair that hasn’t been washed in 1 to 2 days. For best results, wait to braid your hair until it has been a day or so since you last washed it. If your hair gets really greasy between washes, try using dry shampoo. Before you begin to braid, brush your hair to remove any tangles.\nDry shampoo will also give your short hair a bit more texture, which makes it easier to grip as you braid it.\nIf your hair is too clean, the strands of the braid may easily slip out and come undone. <img> Take a comb and create a side part on whichever side you prefer. Use a comb to divide your hair, and angle the part toward the middle of your scalp. Make a deeper part for more volume in your French braid.\nTry out the part on both sides of your head to see which you like the best.\nLine up your part with the arch of your eyebrow for the most natural look. <img> Gather a section of hair along the part and divide it into 3 strands. Use the side of the part with the most hair to make your braid, and use the hair in the front to create your initial 3 strands. Make each strand about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. Hold each strand of hair between separate fingers so they don’t get mixed up.\nFor example, the first strand could go between your thumb and forefinger, the middle strand could go between the forefinger and middle finger, and the last strand could go between the middle finger and ring finger.\nThe beginning of any French braid resembles a normal 3-strand braid. <img> Pass the front strand of hair over the middle strand of hair. Use the 1 inch (2.5 cm) section of hair that is at the front of your part. Cross it over the middle strand of hair, so that it becomes the new middle strand.\nIt can be helpful to remember that the outside strands of hair will always be braided in to become the middle strand. You’ll never cross an outside strand over the entire braid to mix with the other outside strand. <img> Cross the back strand of hair over the new middle strand of hair. Keep the 3 strands of hair separate, and take a moment to make sure they are all secured between your fingers so you don’t accidentally drop a strand. Pass the back strand over the middle strand, so it, in turn, becomes the new middle strand.\nYou can make your braid as loose or as tight as you like. If you have really short hair, though, a tighter braid will help keep your strands in place and make them less likely to fall out.\nKeep in mind that you can always use bobby pins to tuck in any wayward strands after you’ve finished the braid. <img> Add more hair to the front strand and cross it over the middle. Take the strand of hair that’s at the front of your head, and gather about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) more hair to make the strand thicker. Pass the combined strand over top of the middle strand. <img> Gather more hair to the back strand and cross it over the middle one. Add 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of hair from your part line to the back strand that you’ve been holding. Then take that strand and pass it over the middle one so it becomes the middle strand itself.\nIf you’re new to French braiding your hair, it’s okay if it takes a while to get the hang of the movements; just keep practicing! <img> Braid your hair toward the back of your head. Repeat the process of adding hair to the front and back strands and passing them over the middle strand to create your French braid. Move the braid at an angle so that it lines the middle of your parted section.\nKeep the tightness of your braids the same as you go along so that it looks even. <img> Stop braiding when the end of the braid is level with your ear. Once your braid has reached about halfway down your head, you can stop braiding. End the braid right around where you would secure a half-ponytail.\nWhile you could continue the braid to the base of your scalp, it may look odd since the other side of your hair is going to be left down. If your hair is longer than 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm), braiding to your scalp might create a cute look, but very short hair may look weird. <img> Secure the braid to the hair beneath it with an elastic tie. To keep the braid from sticking out from your head, gather about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of hair from underneath and around the end of the braid. Secure the elastic tie around that hair and the braid so they’re combined together.\nChoose a hair tie that matches your hair so it will blend in.\nYou could also place several bobby pins across the end of the braid to secure it in place rather than using an elastic tie. <img> Tug each section of the braid to give it more volume. Once the braid is secured, gently grasp and tug at each individual section, loosening the actual braid itself. Doing this adds volume to your braid. Try to keep each section even so that it looks uniform all the way down.\nIf your hair is really short and you’re worried about the sections coming undone if you tug them, you can simply place your fingertips over the braided section and gently shake them back and forth. This should create a little bit more volume without compromising the braids. However, it may also create some frizz. <img> Use hairspray on the braid to help keep the strands in place. If you have lots of flyaway hairs or short strands that you’re worried about staying in place, just spritz some hairspray over the braid and let it dry. Style the rest of your hair as normal.\nYou could straighten your hair or create curls. <img> ",
"Start with dry hair that hasn’t been washed in 1 to 2 days. Use slightly dirty hair to help your braids stay in place better. If you need to, use dry shampoo to absorb grease when you can’t shower. Additionally, the dry shampoo can even give your hair some more texture, which will make it easier to braid.\nClean hair might be too slippery to stay in place in the braids. This is especially true for straight or fine hair. <img> Use a comb to part your hair down the middle. Take your comb and line it up lengthwise with the middle of your forehead. Bring the comb back, creating a straight line down the middle of your scalp and pull it through all the way to the base at the back.\nFor a more natural look, use your fingers instead of a comb. <img> Tie off one side of the hair to keep it out of the way. Gather all the hair on one side of your part. Use an elastic tie to create a loose pigtail.\nIf you leave all your hair loose after you’ve made your part, you’ll probably lose the part and accidentally get hair from one side of your head in the wrong braid. <img> Divide the hair at the front of your head into 3 sections. Start your braid on the side with loose hair. Create three 1 inch (2.5 cm) strands, and hold each strand between separate fingers to keep them apart.\nTo start any French braid, you simply begin with a normal 3-strand braid. <img> Cross the first section of hair under the middle section of hair. Carefully pass the strand of hair that is closest to your face underneath the middle section. Keep the sections of hair separate from each other.\nFor the classic French braid, simply cross your sections of hair over the middle section, rather than under. <img> Pass the back section of hair under the new middle section of hair. Take the strand of hair that is furthest away from your face, and pass it underneath the middle section to create the first full pass of your braid. Take your time so you don’t accidentally mix the strands together.\nIf you have really short hair, make your braids as tight as possible. This will help the strands stay in place. <img> Add hair to the strand in the front and pass it under the middle strand. Gather about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of hair from the front of your hairline, and add it to the front strand. Take that strand of hair, and pass it underneath of the middle strand of hair.\nAdding hair to each strand as you braid gives your reverse French braids more volume, and it incorporates all the hair on your head nicely. <img> Join hair to the strand in the back and cross it under the middle section. Take 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of hair from along your part line, and add it to the back strand of hair. Take that back strand, and cross it underneath of the middle strand of hair.\nIf you find yourself getting confused, that is okay! Just take your time and remember that you can always start over if you need to. It takes time to learn how to French braid. <img> Repeat this process until you reach the base of your scalp. Continue gathering more hair from your hairline and from the part line and adding them to your strands of hair. Braid your hair back until you reach the nape of your neck.\nUse both of your hands as you braid, but remember to keep each strand of hair separated from the other ones. <img> Create a mini pigtail by securing an elastic tie around your hair. Use a tie and secure your pigtail close to the base of your head. Keep that position in mind as you move on to braid the next side so you can make your braids look even.\nNormally, the ponytail section of the braid would be braided, too. But with short hair, it’s going to turn out better if you just put it into a ponytail, or even a small messy bun. <img> Complete the braiding process again on the other side of your head. Take the rest of your loose hair, and braid it the same way you did the first side. Remember to take your time, and try to keep the spacing of your strands even to what you did on the first side.\nKeep your braids tight so they don’t come loose. <img> Spray some hairspray over your braids to help them stay in place. If you have flyaways or short strands of hair that you’re concerned about, just spray a little bit of hairspray overtop of each braid. Keep your hands from getting sticky by letting the hairspray dry before you touch your braids again.\nIf you’re going to be out running around, bring a miniature can of hairspray with you so you can fix any sections that come loose during the day. <img> "

Why Do I Feel Fake Sometimes? 12 Potential Causes | [

"Feeling fake can sometimes be a sign of growth. When we push ourselves to be in a space outside of our comfort zone, we often find it hard to be our natural selves. But this actually can be a good thing: being outside of our comfort zone is how we become more capable and stronger people.\nFor example, you might feel out of your comfort zone when you’re at a big party, or when you’re doing a presentation at work. As a result, you might end up feeling fake during these occasions.\nAs you continue to place yourself in situations outside of your comfort zone—whether in social settings, school, or work—you’ll find that these feelings of ‘fakeness’ eventually start to disappear. Keep putting yourself out there, and you might be able to feel a greater sense of authenticity. <img> ",
"Introverts can find it hard to feel authentic in social settings. If you’re someone who feels burnt out in social settings, and prefer being by yourself to recharge your energy, feeling fake when you’re with others isn’t an uncommon experience. Though these feelings can make you feel uncomfortable, there’s nothing wrong with being an introvert.\nMany introverts feel less guarded and more authentic in smaller settings, when they’re talking to a close friend one-on-one. If you feel uncomfortable and fake in large groups, it’s okay to center your social life around more intimate settings. <img> ",
"Changing yourself to make others happy can make you feel fake. If you find yourself ready to downplay certain aspects of who you are to make others feel more comfortable, feeling fake can be the result. It’s okay to have people-pleasing tendencies, and it’s also okay to choose to always be your full self. If you want to reduce your people-pleasing tendencies, start by learning how to say no to small things. \nFor example, if a friend is pushing you into going to a party that you’d rather not, say something like, “I appreciate the offer, but I’ll pass. I’d rather spend the night in, but we’ll catch up sometime soon.” <img> ",
"Solitary activities like watching TV make people feel less authentic. Studies have shown that people generally feel most true to themselves when they’re going out and living a more active lifestyle. Explore the world, meet new people, and try out new activities and experiences—by being in these environments, you’ll feel more authentic and in-touch with yourself.\nActivities like spending time in nature, going to concerts or museums, or caring for others can make you feel more true to yourself. <img> ",
"It can be tough meeting others expectations while being yourself. Cultural and societal obligations can put a lot of pressure on you to act in a certain way, one that might not match up to who you really are. For example, if you’re from a relatively traditional culture, you might find that your desire to live a more unique lifestyle meets a lot of negative pushback. This can cause you to feel fake more often than you’d like.\nOn the other hand, some studies have shown that we actually feel most authentic when we conform to the expectations of others. So, even people who hate dinner parties feel most authentic when acting like sociable guests.\nTry to spend more time with people who’ve been with you through good times and bad. Finding a group of friends who you trust to love you no matter who you are can give you a space to be your authentic self. <img> ",
"Thinking you’re fake could mean you’re being hard on yourself. If you’re someone who constantly criticizes yourself, calling yourself fake might be part of the package. Dealing with low self-esteem is hard, and you should try improving it by recognizing your strengths, capabilities, and uniqueness.\nThe most important step you can take to improve your self-esteem is to challenge your negative thought patterns. When you find yourself thinking cruel things about yourself, like “Why am I such a fake person?” take a step back. Then, substitute these thoughts for something more positive, like “I’m an adaptable and strong person.” <img> ",
"Being authentic might not be as important as you think. In the end, there might not be such a thing as your “work self” or “school self” that is different from who you really are. All of us are complex people with many layers, and we don’t have to be ashamed of this. Try to make peace with the fact that like any person, you change who you are depending on the circumstances. This can be a sign of strength, not weakness.\nIf you’re finding yourself trapped in thoughts about ‘feeling fake,’ find a healthy distraction. Head to the movie theater, take a walk, or cook yourself a nice meal. This will give you something else to focus on. <img> ",
"Imposter syndrome is common among high-achievers, so look out for it. Doubting your qualifications when you’re in a space full of ambitious and high-achieving people, either at work or school, isn’t unusual. But remember that sometimes we can’t see all of our own strengths, even when they’re apparent to others.\nStop imposter syndrome in its tracks by being kinder to yourself. By focusing on your work instead of whether you deserve to be in your position, you can keep yourself on the track to success. <img> ",
"Perfectionists punish themselves for failing to live up to their standards. Because these standards are unreasonably high, this can lead to a lot of self-doubt, including feeling like you’re a fake. But it’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes, and no one can actually be perfect—failing to achieve the standards that you’ve set for yourself isn’t a sign that you’re a bad person.\nIf you’re dealing with perfectionist tendencies, work on forgiving yourself. Don’t torture yourself when you make a mistake. Instead, repeat an internal mantra, like “There’s no need to be perfect—good is enough.” <img> ",
"Trauma can change the way we interact with others. For example, if you’ve been emotionally hurt in the past, you might find yourself withdrawing from others even when you want to be close to them. This disconnect between your actions and desires is an outcome of trauma, and can lead you to feel inauthentic and fake.\nWorking with a therapist to understand the origins of your trauma and come up with ways to overcome it can really help you. Many therapists practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which has been scientifically proven to help manage your trauma by giving you strategies to manage your emotional responses. <img> ",
"Depression is a serious condition that can cause you to doubt yourself. People struggling with depression often feel unable to show their true self to the world, and as a result, deal with feeling inauthentic on a regular basis. Recovering from depression can help you feel more authentic and engaged in your daily life and the world at large.\nMost people with depression will need treatment to recover. This treatment can include therapy, medication, or a combination of the two. Don’t hesitate to seek help by scheduling an appointment with a mental health professional. <img> ",
"Derealization can have you feeling like an observer to your own life. Derealization involves feeling disassociated from your surroundings, and is often a response to a history of trauma or abuse. Some people who experience derealization describe it as feeling as though they’re floating above their body, but you might experience it differently. Seeking help for this condition can have you feeling more authentic in your daily life.\nDepersonalization is a similar feeling of disassociation to derealization. While derealization involves feeling like things around you are unreal, depersonalization is the experience of feeling that you yourself are not real.\nBrief episodes of derealization are common. About half of all people describe occasionally feeling like they’re watching themselves in a movie. These episodes don’t normally need treatment unless they become too frequent.\nPsychotherapy has been shown to help control episodes of derealization and depersonalization. By working with a therapist, especially one trained in psychodynamic therapy, you can find ways to limit the number of times you feel disassociated from yourself. <img> "

How to Stop Loving a Guy | [

"vdEygtGCLwiz",
"r5uWJPTUd9qY"
] | [
"Stop contacting your ex. If he’s always on your mind, it might be difficult to refrain from picking up the phone to call him. However, the longer you go without talking to him, the easier it will become with each passing day. Try changing his name in your contacts list to something to remind you not to call, like “DO NOT CALL!” Better yet, you may consider deleting his number completely.\nDon’t text him or send him emails, either. Consider erasing your text messages and emails from him so you won’t be tempted to re-read them and get nostalgic or upset.\nIf you have strong urge to call him, then you might try calling up a friend instead and talk to her about your desire to call your ex. This will give you a chance to examine why you want to call and your friend can provide an objective perspective on why you probably should not call him. <img> Throw away old mementos from the relationship. If you dated this guy for a while, it’s likely you have some things lying around that remind you of him when you see them. Maybe his toothbrush is still in your bathroom, or his sweatshirt is still hanging in your closet. Get rid of these little reminders. Donate old clothes that belonged to him, and toss out old movie ticket stubs. If you get rid of the things that make you think of him when you look at them, you might be able to keep yourself from thinking of him at all.\nIf you have anything of his that is especially valuable or that he might want back, put it in a box and mail it back to him, or leave it on his front step. Avoid making contact with him in the process of giving the things back to him.\nEven if you never formally dated, get rid of or put away the things you have that remind you of him. For example, if you have photos of him around, consider getting rid of them to help get over him. <img> Unfollow him on social media. Keep his posts off of your social media feeds. If you aren’t ready to completely erase him from your friends lists, you can choose to unfollow his posts until you feel like you’re strong enough to see them again. Seeing his posts will only make you think of him more, and it will be more difficult to let him go.\nConsider taking a break from social media in general. That way, you won’t be constantly bombarded with status updates and photos about other couples that might make you think about the guy you’re trying to get over. Giving yourself a break from social media could be helpful. <img> Find healthy ways to grieve. Grieving the loss of a relationship is a painful part of the process, but it is an essential part of any breakup. Trying to distract yourself from the pain of the breakup may prolong it or even make it worse.\nAllow yourself to feel the pain of the breakup. Cry if you feel like crying about it and tell supportive friends how you feel. You may experience a range of emotions after a breakup, such as sadness, resentment, anger, and fear. Express how you are feeling by talking with people who care about you and who you can trust. Feeling your emotions may be uncomfortable, but it will help you to move on.\nYou can also write about how you are feeling. Try keeping a daily journal where you write about how you are feeling and then list five things that you are grateful for that day. Practicing gratitude can help to relive stress and help you to feel happier. Therefore, this can be an effective way to start to feel better after a breakup.\nDon’t relive the painful details of the breakup over and over. Just take some time each day for as long as you need to allow yourself to feel your feelings, such as 20 to 30 minutes per day. Try setting a timer to limit your grieving time. After your grieving time is up, do something to help yourself feel better, such as meeting a friend for coffee, going for a walk, or engaging in a favorite hobby. <img> Avoid idealizing the relationship. When a relationship ends, it’s easy to end up focusing on how great it was and ignoring the not-so-great aspects of it. Avoid idealizing the relationship in this way. Instead, try to be realistic as you reflect on the relationship and acknowledge the bad along with the good. This may make it easier to move on. To get out of an idealizing mode, it might be helpful to reflect on some of the flaws in your relationship to remind yourself of why you broke up.\nFor example, if you often disagreed on movies and this caused problems, then your different tastes may have been one of the reasons for the breakup. Or, maybe you had a hard time trusting him when he was out with his friends, so you texted him often to deal with your worry.\nDon’t dwell on the negative aspects of your relationship. Just try to be thankful that you won’t have to deal with these negative aspects of the relationship anymore. <img> ",
"Identify what you want for your future. Instead of focusing on what you wanted in a future with your ex, start looking at what you want your future to look like. Identify your hopes, dreams, and goals and allow yourself to get excited about these things.\nFor example, what is your dream job? Would you like a new job or maybe just a promotion at your current job? Would you like to go back to school to train for a new job? If so, what might you need to do to start that process? Complete an application? Visit a local college?\nYou might also think about personal wellness goals, such as losing weight, improving your self-esteem, or developing a spiritual practice.\nGive yourself permission to dream about what you want your life to look like and then identify some things you can do to move in that direction. <img> Do something for yourself. Think of something that makes you feel good, like going shopping for new clothes, or getting a new haircut. Go out and do that for yourself to get your mind off of the guy. Giving yourself a new look, buying something new to wear, taking a day off, or even just listening to your favorite music can all help you de-stress and focus on something besides him.\nIf you have the time and the means, try taking a little overnight trip somewhere. It doesn’t have to be far away—it could even just mean staying over at a friend’s house. It will get you out of your comfort zone, which is where you’re probably most likely to dwell on the guy you’re trying to get over. <img> Keep yourself active. Exercise is a great way to boost your mood and keep yourself busy. Instead of sitting around and dwelling, go out for a walk, take a jog, go swimming, or get your aggression out on a punching bag. Not only will you feel physically energized and more upbeat, you’ll also distract yourself from thinking of the guy.\nYoga is also a great option. It’s great for focusing on yourself and your breathing, as well as working on your physical health. <img> ",
"Try not to blame yourself for the relationship’s end. You may be tempted to look at what caused the relationship to end and analyze your role in it. However, doing this may make you feel worse and it won’t change anything. You can go over the details endlessly, but you can’t go back in time and change the things that you said or did.\nInstead of focusing on what you did or what he did, try to remind yourself that this is no one’s fault. Some people are just not compatible, and that is okay. It is important to find someone with whom you can communicate effectively and who can meet your needs as well as you meet his. <img> Give yourself some time to be single. Rather than throwing yourself right back into another relationship, take some time to be on your own. Until you feel like you’ve completely gotten over this guy, try not to move onto another one. If you move into another relationship before you’re totally ready, you run the risk of your unresolved feelings interfering with a new relationship.\nInstead of going out on dates in the meantime, go out with your friends instead. Do things in groups and enjoy your time as a single person. <img> Date other people when you’re ready. Just because you aren’t getting into another relationship right away doesn’t mean you can’t go on a date or two just for fun. Flirting with new people is fun and will help distract you from thinking about the guy you’re trying to get over. Keep things light and simple, and have fun with it.\nFlirting can also help you boost your self-confidence a bit if you’re feeling a little low after the loss of a relationship. Making yourself feel good is a good way to help yourself move forward. <img> Recognize the good things about your life without him. There were plenty of good things about your life before he came along, and those things are still there. Think about all the good things you still have going on, and look ahead to the good things you have in your future, regardless of his presence in your life. Sometimes it can even be helpful to make an actual list of all the good things in your life, as a tangible reminder.\nIf you do write a list, keep it somewhere you can see it often, like on the fridge or in the dash of your car. That way, it will always be visible in case you need to be reminded of all the good in your life. <img> Consider counseling. If you are having trouble moving on, it’s always an option to seek the help of a professional. Speaking to a therapist or counselor can be helpful, and they might have some new ideas or suggestions to help you move forward. Do an online search to find a provider in your area. There may even be counselors nearby that specialize in relationships and can offer some special insight.\nIf you are a college student, your school may offer counseling services for free, or for a small fee. Check with your student services office. <img> "

"Be confident and authentic with the content you create. If you are holding back in your videos, viewers can tell, and it makes your content less engaging. Make videos that you find funny and someone else will likely find it funny too!\nDo not start your channel thinking it will be a job or source of income. Instead, it should be a passion project you undertake because you love creating. <img> ",
"Note the styles, branding, editing, and so on that popular comedy channels use. While it is important to develop your own style, looking at successful channels can help you understand what viewers find appealing. If possible, try to find a creator that makes the type of comedy content you are interested in creating. <img> ",
"Pick a type of comedy video to upload. There are many different comedy video types on YouTube including sketches, animation, commentary, parody, machinima, and more. Focusing on a particular type will help you grow a loyal fan base that enjoys a certain style of content.\nYou can certainly make more than one type of comedy video, but you should commit to uploading each type regularly. Otherwise, building an audience might prove difficult, as they never know what type of content to expect. <img> ",
"Plan your video out in advance to create a polished final product. You do not have to write out exactly what you will say, but jotting down some general ideas in advance will help you clarify your vision and avoid rambling. Also, it should save you a significant amount of time when recording and editing. <img> ",
"Use editing for comedic effect, maintaining interest, and professionalism. Editing is one of the most powerful tools for comedy videos. Sound effects, scene changes, and more can transform a video, and the ability to reshoot scenes or tweak your video and audio to perfectly match your vision is incredibly helpful.\nWhen creating and editing a video, remember to break its visual pattern. One continuous shot of a person looking straight at the camera is much less engaging than many camera angles, costumes, cuts, and so on. These small inclusions can boost the all-important watch time of your videos significantly! <img> ",
"Create short, snappy titles and engaging thumbnails to draw viewers in. Good YouTube titles should be both searchable and attractive. Try to create a title that is eye-catching while incorporating words people are likely to search. For your thumbnail, focus on making it colorful, exciting, and relevant to the video. <img> ",
"Write a full description to increase a video’s optimization for the algorithm. Use the description field to write a quick summary of your video with keywords that increase its searchability. You can also include links to different sections of your video for the convenience of your audience.\nFeel free to experiment with tags, too. <img> ",
"Include other videos and your channel icon on the end screen. Similar video recommendations automatically appearing will encourage viewers to continue watching, while hovering over your channel icon will bring up a big red subscribe button. These eye-catching pop ups act as a non-verbal reminder to subscribe and keep watching, helping bolster your audience and watch time. <img> ",
"Upload longer videos to increase your watch time. On YouTube, longer videos usually perform better than shorter videos because they have a higher watch time. Watch time is one of the biggest factors the YouTube algorithm uses to decide if it should recommend a video, and due to their length, shorter videos are at a disadvantage.\nWhile longer videos are ideal, do not prioritize video length over content. A natural, more engaging, shorter video is strongly preferable to an uninteresting longer video, and will likely have a higher watch time anyway because its content is more entertaining. <img> ",
"Optimize your videos for the YouTube algorithm with the help of extensions and tools. Extensions like https://www.tubebuddy.com help you find keywords that are highly searched, but are not overly competitive or dominated by videos from larger channels. This can be helpful when deciding if you should create a video or after the video is done and you are making a title and description. <img> ",
"Use the same stylistic elements across videos to increase channel recognition. Building an identifiable brand with a short intro and/or outro, specific fonts and colors, and more can increase the professionalism of your channel and make your content feel more familiar. This contributes to the sense of consistency that is key for successful YouTube channels. <img> ",
"Create a themed, aesthetically-pleasing background for your videos. Depending on the type of content you make, your background may change, but if you regularly film in a certain space, try to build a visually-interesting background. This will give your viewer another visual to focus on, increasing watch time, as well as build your brand and provide more material for bits. <img> ",
"Set an upload schedule and stick to it. Following a schedule can be difficult, especially when making creativity-based content, but consistency is a vital part of a successful YouTube channel. By setting a regular upload pattern, your viewers will know when your videos come out, boosting the chance they build your content into their schedule. <img> ",
"Capitalize on popular topics and content to boost your channel. Making videos on the right topic at the right time can help your channel blow up. When looking for trends, try checking https://trends.google.com/trends/ for trending Google searches and https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending/ for trending YouTube videos. <img> ",
"Create unique content to stand out. While this might seem to contrast with the importance of trends, you should always have some originality in your videos because the main draw of your channel is you. Viewers choose to watch you because you offer something others do not, so focus on creating original content, even when using a trend or someone else’s video as a starting point. <img> ",
"Record with other people for new energy and cross-promotion. Adding another person to your video brings a different sense of humor and new ideas, potentially strengthening your content. If your collaborator is a YouTuber or a famous personality, you also gain access to a new audience, as well as cross-promotion from someone else looking for publicity. <img> ",
"Share your channel on other social media platforms and in real life. If you have a following on a network like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, promoting your channel on those platforms can help new viewers find your content. Also, telling your friends and family about your channel can bring more views and watch time to your videos, helping their standing with the YouTube algorithm. <img> ",
"Interact with viewers through your videos, in the comments sections, and on social media. Creating personal connections with your community is a great way to build a committed viewer base. Try asking questions in videos and putting suggestion comments you use onscreen, replying to comments on YouTube and other social media, or even giving your community a name.\nYou can also make a Discord server to give your audience a space to interact with you. <img> ",
"Remind your audience to like the video, subscribe, and turn on notifications. Some viewers will entirely forget about the many ways to engage with a channel, so gentle prompting can be very helpful. Subscribing means YouTube is much more likely to recommend your videos to them, helping you grow a loyal audience.\nConsider asking viewers to interact at the end of the video, as those who watch the video in its entirety are much more likely to engage. Also, asking people to subscribe before the video even starts can feel pushy and unearned. <img> ",
"Consider investing in a microphone and camera that record good audio and video. While it is not necessary to buy pricey equipment, using a camera that can record 720p or higher and a microphone with decent sound quality will make your videos significantly more attractive. There are many inexpensive webcams and lapel mics that meet these specifications, so do some research before making your purchases. <img> "

How to Use Ear Candles | [
"GyGIWxLX69li",
"xM4f2m4Qqvzx"
] | [
"Be aware of the risks of ear candling. Alternative medicine practitioners are strong advocates for the benefits of ear candling, but many medical doctors believe that candling is ineffective and dangerous. Being aware of the risks and concerns about ear candling can help you make an informed decision if it is the best way for you to remove your ear wax.\nStudies by otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors) have shown that ear candling can cause burns, blockages in the ear canal, ear infections, and ear drum perforations even if you use the candle according to the packaging.\nMost medical doctors believe that ear candling is ineffective for removing wax. <img> Have a friend or family member assist you. It can be difficult to perform ear candling by yourself. Have a friend or family member assist you during the process. This can help minimize the risk of burning yourself or causing other trauma to your ear. <img> Size the tapered, or small, end of the candle to your ear. The candle should be fitted to the size and contours of your ear. This can help ensure the most safe and effective candling process.\nUse the scissors to trim the end, making the opening slightly larger so it fills the ear canal.\nMake sure the opening is passable. There should be a clear pathway from one end of the candle to the other. If necessary, use a sharp, pointy object to remove any obstruction from the small end. <img> Wash your hands and your ear. Before you begin candling your ear, wash your hands and wipe off your ear. This can minimize the risk of spreading bacteria that may cause an infection. Use a soft soap that is antibacterial and antimicrobial.\nYou can wash your hands with a simple and basic soap.\nYou may want to use an soft soap that is antimicrobial and antibacterial.\nWipe off your ear with a moist cloth. <img> Cover your head with a damp towel. Moisten a large towel with some water and cover your head and upper torso area. This can help prevent a flame or any ashes from hitting you during the candling process.\nMake sure to cover your head, hair, shoulders, and upper torso. <img> Sit upright for the candling process. It will be easier and safer for you to sit upright during the ear candling process. This can help ensure that falling ashes don’t contact or burn you.\nBe careful; if you do not do this correctly, you could burn yourself. Physicians often do not recommend using ear candles because of this risk. <img> Rub the area behind your ear. Before you begin the candling procedure, massage the area around and behind your ear. This can help relax you and stimulate circulation in your ear area.\nMassage the area behind your jawbone, around your temple and your scalp.\nRub for at least 30 seconds to open up the area around your ear. <img> Put a paper plate or pie tin over your ear. Cut a small hole in either a paper plate or pie tin and place it over your ear. This can help ensure that you don’t get burned with the flame or falling ashes.\nUse any type of paper plate or pie tin, which you can buy at most grocery stores.\nMake sure the hole corresponds to the size of the end of the ear candle. Fit the candle into this hole and hold it up over the ear being cleaned. <img> Position the tapered end of the candle in your ear canal. Place the small end of the candle in the paper plate or pie tin and then position the tip of the candle in your ear canal. This can help ensure a safe and effective candling procedure.\nKeep the candle in a vertically upright position. When sitting upright, the candle should be at an approximately 30 degree angle. <img> Light the large end of the candle. Have your assistant light the large end of the candle with a lighter or match. This will start the candling process and can help ensure that you safely light the candle without burning yourself.\nYou will know if the candle is properly in place if no smoke escapes from between your ear and the small end of the candle.\nIf you do not have a secure fit, readjust your position or the candle. It is important to get the secure fitting. If this takes a while, you may need to try again using a new candle. <img> Burn the candle for approximately fifteen minutes. It should take about 15 minutes for the candle to burn down to the desired length. This can help minimize the risk for burning and maximize the amount of wax you’re able to remove. <img> Trim the candle every two inches. As the candle burns, trim it into a bowl of water every couple of inches. This can keep ashes or flames from falling close to and burning you.\nYou can remove the candle to trim it into the bowl of water. Simply replace it securely in the canal when you’re finished. <img> Allow the candle burn to within 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm). After the candle has burned down so there is only about 3 inches (7.6 cm) remaining, ask your assistant to extinguish the candle in the bowl of water. This can minimize your risk for getting burned by the candle.\nIf the burn takes a while, have your assistant check the small end's opening after a few minutes to make sure it is not obstructed. If necessary, use a toothpick to swiftly clear the opening and reinsert the candle in the ear. <img> Observe debris on the candle stub. Once you’ve removed the candle stub from your ear canal, you may be able to observe a mixture of ear wax, debris, and bacteria on the stub. This may help you to assess if you removed the wax or need to repeat the candling procedure.\nIf you put the candle into water immediately, you may not see any wax. <img> Clean the ear. Once you’ve finished the candling process, clean the outer area of your ear and ear canal. Be careful not to push any wax or remnants back down into the ear.\nYou can use a cloth or cotton swab to clean the ear. Just make sure to not put a cotton swab all the way into your ear, which can push wax further into your ear or perforate your ear drum. <img> Repeat the ear candling on the other ear. If both of your ears have a wax buildup, repeat the process on your other ear. Be sure to follow the steps closely and according to the product packaging. This may prevent burning or other trauma in your ear. <img> ",
"Wipe the outside of your ear. You can clean the outside of your ear canal with a cloth or paper tissue. This may help remove discharge or any wax that has worked its way outside of your inner ear.\nUse a soft cloth to wipe around the outside of your ear and on your outer ear canal. If you like, you can wet the cloth slightly with warm water.\nWrap a paper tissue around your finger and gently wipe your outer ear and outer ear canal with the tissue. <img> Apply an over the counter eardrops to remove wax. For those people with minimal to moderate amounts of earwax, use an over the counter wax removal preparation. This can help clear any impacted wax.\nMost over the counter drops are mineral oil and peroxide solutions.\nThe hydrogen peroxide will not dissolve your wax, but help it move through the ear canal. When using hydrogen peroxide, lie on your bed with your head to its side and a towel placed under your head. Pour (or use a rubber bulb) a small amount of H2O2 into the ear. The ear will start to feel warm and you will begin to hear a bubbling sound. This is normal. Roll your ear over onto the towel to let the peroxide drain out. Repeat on other side. If you have any ear discharge consult a doctor immediately.\nMake sure to follow the package instructions for using the products to help ensure you don’t cause further problems.\nIf you have an eardrum perforation or suspect that you may, do not use an over the counter preparation. The symptoms of a perforated eardrum include bloody or pus-filled discharge from your ear, hearing loss, or a ringing sound in your ear.\nYou can purchase over the counter earwax removal drops at most pharmacies and some large retailers.\nCerumenolytics (peroxide & mineral oil) can lead to complications including allergic reactions, otitis externa, transient hearing loss, and dizziness. <img> Try oil or glycerin drops to soften wax. In addition to over-the-counter wax treatments, you can also use simple household oils or glycerin drops to relieve wax plugs. These treatments soften ear wax, making it easier to clear out of your ear canal.\nYou can use baby or mineral oils as a treatment. Place one drop of baby or mineral oil in each ear and let it sit for a few minutes before allowing it to drain out.\nYou may also try olive oil. However, one study found that water was more effective at removing ear wax than olive oil.\nThere are no studies about how often its helpful to use oil or glycerin drops, but no more than a few times a week should be fine. <img> Irrigate wax plugs. Irrigating, sometimes called “syringing,” is one of the most common methods of removing wax plugs from the ears. Try washing your ear by irrigation if you have large amounts or stubborn ear wax.\nYou’ll need a medical syringe to use this method, which you can buy at most pharmacies.\nFill the syringe with body temperature water. Using cooler or warmer water may cause dizziness or vertigo.\nHold your head upright and gently pull the outside of your ear upward to straighten your ear canal.\nInject a small stream of water into your ear canal by where the wax plug is located.\nTilt your head to drain the water.\nYou may need to perform an irrigation several times in order to clear away the impaction.\nOne study showed that injecting a small amount of water or oil into your ear before irrigation may help remove the wax more quickly.\nNever use a water jet device designed for teeth to irrigate your ears! <img> Vacuum your ear canals. You can purchase a suction device or vacuum to remove earwax. Although studies show that this treatment is ineffective, you may find it works for you.\nYou can get earwax suction devices at many pharmacies or large retailers. <img> Dry out your ear. Once you’ve removed your ear wax, it’s important to dry your ear thoroughly. This can help ensure that you don’t get an infection or experience other problems.\nYou can use a few drops of rubbing alcohol to dry out your ear.\nA hair dryer set to low can also help dry out your ear. <img> Avoid cleaning too often or with instruments. Understand that every person needs a certain amount of wax to help prevent ear infections. Avoid cleaning your ears too often or using instruments such as cotton swabs to help keep a healthy amount of wax in your ears.\nOnly clean your ears as often as you feel they require it. If you notice you need to clean your ears daily or excess discharge, see your doctor.\nUsing instruments such as cotton swabs or hair pins can force wax into your ear instead of removing it, and may cause infection or other problems.\nUsing instruments can also perforate your ear drum and lead to infection or hearing loss. <img> Talk to your doctor about professional treatment options. If you can’t remove your wax at home or experience other problems such as severe hearing loss, talk to your doctor about your different treatment options for wax plugs. This can help ensure that you get the most effective, least invasive, and most painless treatment for your impacted cerumen.\nYour doctor may recommend professional treatments or options that you can use at home, including drops and irrigation. <img> "

How to Become a Music Composer | [
"bMbNXvxF8Y7M",
"frcsy29VmnGt",
"use4iSS9Lha6"
] | [
"Learn how to read and write music. As a composer, it is integral that you are able to read and write music so that you can do your job. Take an online course or watch tutorials for free to understand how to write music from scratch. Or, take classes from a musician to get professional help.\nYou may be able to improvise music to play along with a piece of media, or even get by without writing it down. However, reading and writing music will be very helpful for you in this career path. <img> Participate in a choir or join a band to get experience playing music. In order to compose music, you need to understand how it works and what it takes to play it. As you work toward becoming a composer, join a choir or band to keep up on your musical knowledge. Find a group that plays the same kinds of music that you are interested in, like jazz or classical.Tip: Check with your local community center or your school or church to see if they have a choir or band that you can join. <img> Watch movies that you like to get ideas. If you want to be a film scorer or even another type of composer, pick out movies to watch that have good scoring to get an idea of what directors are looking for. Look for movies with music that helps tell a story and enhances the audience’s experience.\nMany different types of media have scores and compositions that you can listen to. Try to sample TV shows, video games, and classical pieces to broaden your horizons. <img> Watch tutorials on how to use sample libraries. Most composers use sample libraries to create music rather than live bands. Visit YouTube to watch tutorials on how to use sample libraries on your computer, or take courses online or in person to start practicing.\nDepending on the budget a composer has, they can sometimes use a live band instead. However, that is not the norm. <img> ",
"Get a Bachelor's degree in film scoring to focus on movies. If you know that you want to be a film scorer, pursue a Bachelor’s degree in film scoring so that your education is focused on cinema. You will get experience in scoring short films and learn how to use music to tell a story.\nYou will also learn how to use an orchestra to accompany a film. <img> Graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in composition for a broad degree. If you aren’t sure that you want to focus on films specifically, leave your education slightly more open and get a degree in composition. This degree will give you a wide range of skills, like how to score different pieces of media using modern technology as well as live bands.\nYou may want to give your degree a focus as you determine what specific career path you want to take after you graduate. <img> Pursue a Master’s degree in composition to further your personal style. Although employers are usually only looking for composers with a Bachelor’s degree, you can pursue a Master’s in composition if you’d like to hone in on your own style of composing music. You will most likely compose a 30 minute piece and be asked to perform it before you graduate.Tip: If you have a Bachelor’s degree in musical composition already, a Master’s may not be necessary. Try to find a job with what you have before spending money on further education. <img> ",
"Create an online portfolio of your work. It will be much easier to impress potential employers if you can show them an example of what you’ve done in the past. Create a basic website for yourself and compile any and all projects that you’ve worked on or completed.\nChoose videos and compositions that are your best work to impress your potential employers. <img> Search online for employment offers. Many film studios and video game companies will post employment opportunities online. Keep an eye out for job openings in your area, and try to apply to as many opportunities as possible. Companies in California are often looking to hire new people for work, since they are close to Hollywood.\nEven if you don’t live near any large film studios, you may be able to find remote work from your computer. <img> Get an internship to get your foot in the door. Some companies may not have any actual employment opportunities, but a lot of them will have internships open. Internships usually do not pay well, but they can let you show people your work and prove that you are a hard worker. Apply for internships, even if they aren’t exactly what you’d like to be doing in the long run. This can potentially move you into an actual job later on.Tip: Some colleges give credit if you do an internship while you are still getting your degree. <img> Take any work you can get to get practice. You may not find your dream job as soon as you start looking, and that’s okay. When you first start out, try to take as many jobs as you can to gain experience, even if they don’t pay the best. Any work you do can be added to your portfolio.\nBe wary of jobs that pay nothing at all, or promise to give you exposure. Your time is valuable, and you should be paid for your work, even if you are just starting out. <img> "

How to Kiss Somebody Who Is a Different Height | [
"upWOYosK6e1D",
"lwR4mywbZTgM"
] | [
"Bend down slightly to meet your partner's lips if you're taller than them. An easy way to even out the height difference is for the taller partner to bend down while the shorter person angles their face up towards them.\nIf you do this and you're the taller partner, support the back of your partner's head to make sure their neck doesn't start aching. Looking up at someone for a long period of time can be uncomfortable. <img> Stand on your tiptoes if you're the shorter one. If you're just a little shorter than your partner, standing on your tiptoes could be enough to reach their lips. If there's a big height difference between you and you're shorter than your partner, you might also need to stand on your tiptoes while your partner bends to meet your lips. <img> Use your surroundings to even out the height difference. Look for something in your environment that can help you and your partner get closer together. This could be a fixture of the building or street, such as a staircase or a ledge, or it could be a piece of furniture, such as a barstool or footstool.\nFor example, you could stand on a ledge, stool, or stair to get some extra height if you're shorter.\nIf you're taller, step down to a lower stair or off the curb. <img> Wear shoes with heels or lifts if you're shorter than your partner. If you're the shorter person, then you might consider wearing shoes with heels or getting some height-enhancing insoles to even out the difference. You can wear high heels, boots with heels, wedges, or even sneakers with heels. You can also purchase “lifts” which are height-enhancing insoles that go inside of your shoes.\nCelebrities often wear lifts to make themselves look taller. <img> Sit on a chair together so it's easier to kiss. Another option is to find a sofa or chair, have the taller person sit down, and then sit on their lap if you're shorter than them. It will be easier to kiss if you're both sitting in a chair together.\nMake sure that the furniture you sit on is sturdy enough to support both of you. Breaking a chair or falling out of it might not be the most romantic scenario. Tip: Laying next to your partner will also even out the height difference, but it's okay if you're not comfortable doing this yet. <img> ",
"Dip the person back and hold them while you kiss if they're shorter. For an ultra-sexy kiss that is easy to achieve, the taller partner can dip the shorter partner back so that they're almost parallel to the ground and support them with their arms while kissing them. Be careful not to strain your back when you do this. Brace your core muscles and use your legs to support your weight.\nIf you're the taller partner, hold your partner around their waist and back to support them.\nIf you're the shorter partner, wrap your arms around the person's neck for extra support. <img> Jump into their arms if you're shorter and they can support you. If you're short and your partner is strong enough, jump into their arms so that your faces are level, or wrap your legs around your partner's waist and kiss them from above. Make sure to warn your partner before you try to jump into their arms if you're shorter than them!\nIf you're the taller partner, you could also try spinning the other person around as an extra romantic way to kiss them. <img> Kiss them somewhere else when you want to show affection. You don't always need to kiss the person on the lips or even on their face to show affection. If you're short than your partner, try kissing them on the hand or shoulder. If you're taller than them, you could plant a kiss on the top of their head or bring their hand up to your mouth and plant a kiss on it.Tip: Try creating your own special way of showing affection that you and your partner can share when you can't kiss, such as squeezing your partner's hands in a special way. <img> "

How to Kill Toads | [
"iCE2RjyvbLol",
"C7ttfpQ4AQfj",
"822PeE3zjrWh"
] | [
"Place the toads in a plastic bag and tie it closed with a small gap for air. Put on a pair of gloves to keep your hands clean and pick up the toads and place them in a plastic bag, such as a grocery bag or gift bag. Tie the bag closed so it’s shut and the toads can’t get out, but it isn’t sealed so they don’t suffocate.\nSuffocation is a painful and inhumane way to kill toads.\nYou could also poke a few small holes into the bag to allow air in so the toads can breathe. <img> Put the plastic bag into an open container. Place the bag into a large bowl or plastic container so they toads won’t knock the bag over if they hop around. Don’t seal the container shut or the toads could suffocate and die slowly and painfully. <img> Stick the container in your refrigerator for 12 hours. Put the container with the plastic bag full of toads into your refrigerator to slowly cool down the toads until they’re unconscious. After about 12 hours, check the bag to see if the toads are sedated.\nIf the toads are still active, leave them in the refrigerator for another 2-3 hours, then check them again.\nDid you know?\nCooling the toads down slowly renders them unconscious without causing any pain. <img> Remove the container and place it in your freezer for 24 hours. Once the toads are sedated, take the container out of your refrigerator and place it into your freezer. Leave the toads for a full day so they’re fully frozen and die painlessly. After a day, check the container to see if the toads are completely frozen through and dead.\nSome frogs can survive being frozen, but toads cannot. <img> Take the container out of your freezer and dispose of the dead toads. Remove the container from the freezer and take the plastic bag full of dead toads out of it. Throw the bag into the garbage to dispose of the toads, or dig a hole and bury the dead toads in the ground to get rid of them.\nTake the toads out of the plastic bag if you plan to bury them. <img> ",
"Choose a pesticide designed to kill toads specifically. Applying a standard pesticide to kill toads will cause them pain and take several hours to kill them. The more humane option is to use a pesticide that’s specifically designed to kill toads quickly and efficiently. Look for a toad-specific pesticide to use.\nYou may be able to find toad-specific pesticides at your local hardware store, but you may need to order some online.\nToad sprays designed for cane toads, such as HopStop, are effective against all types of toads. <img> Use a sprayer to spray the toads with pesticide. Add your pesticide to a large 1 gallon (3.8 L) sprayer. Spray the entire area that’s infested with toads so the solution comes into direct contact with them.\nYou can find sprayers at your local hardware or home improvement store. <img> Check the toads after 2 hours and dispose of them. Allow the pesticide enough time to effectively kill the toads. After about 2 hours, check the area for dead toads. Collect the dead toads and place them into a bag to be disposed of in the garbage, or bury them in the ground.\nDon’t leave the toads out in the open or other wildlife or pets may eat them and could get sick.Warning: Wear gloves when you’re picking up the toads to avoid getting any pesticide or bacteria from the toads onto your skin. <img> ",
"Get rid of any night lighting that could attract insects. Toads eat bugs and other insects, which are attracted to light. If your yard has any sources of night lighting, such as a lamp or a floodlight, remove them to reduce the number of insects in the area, which will help keep toads away. <img> Remove sources of water from the area. Toads need water to survive, find their food, and hatch their eggs, so take out any ponds or fountains in your yard or outdoor area to deter toads from gathering there. Avoid leaving hoses or sprinklers on that can cause standing water to pool on the ground as well.\nDump out any pots that collect water after it rains. <img> Keep the grass in your yard cut short. Tall grass collects more water and gives toads more places to hide and find insects to eat. Mowing your lawn regularly and keeping your grass cut short will help deter toads from living in your yard or outdoor area.\nMow your lawn at least once a week to keep it cut short. <img> Put out reptile repellant granules to keep toads away. Snake or reptile repellant granules also work to keep toads away by releasing odors that they don’t like. Look for reptile repellant granules at your local hardware store or order some online. Spread them out over your outdoor area according to the directions on the packaging to deter toads from entering the area.\nReptile repellant isn’t harmful to toads but will keep them away from the area. <img> Spread used coffee grounds over the area for a natural toad deterrent. Coffee grounds are pungent and cause discomfort to toads, which will help keep them away from the area. Collect your used coffee grounds and sprinkle it over the ground where you want to keep toads away.Note: Coffee grounds are acidic and may harm plants that are sensitive to acidic soil, so use caution when you spread them over the soil. <img> "

How to Celebrate Karthigai Deepam | [

"jk8Pr1H7lIka",
"naGFZstkQSVo"
] | [
"Clean your home to prepare it for the festival. Start by getting rid of unnecessary clutter, and do general cleaning, like dusting and vacuuming. Then, wash the floors and walls thoroughly to make them look bright and new..\nIf there's a special place in your house where you'll be entertaining guests, take time to clean that area very thoroughly.\nRemember to clean outdoor spaces, like your front door and windows, to ensure that your lamps will be visible to your neighbors. <img> Hang up seasonal decorations to prepare for the celebration. Position colorful pictures of Goddesses on the walls, and position bright flowers throughout your home. Hang multi-colored streamers and cloths from the ceiling and walls to add even more color. Be sure to prepare plenty of candles, as you'll need them for your lanterns.\nSome people choose to decorate only one area of their house, like a table or a corner of a room. <img> Draw Rangoli near your door to welcome the Goddess Lakshmi. Rangoli, which are also called “kolams,” are made of rice powder. Use food coloring to change the color of the rice powder, and spread it along the ground in a looping and dotted pattern. If you want the Rangoli to last all day, mix in a few drops of water to form a paste before you apply the powder to the ground.\nYou can create a stencil for your Rangoli by poking holes in a paper plate in your desired pattern. Then, just place the plate on the ground and sprinkle the powder over it. Lift up the plate and admire your kolam! <img> Place clay lamps on or near the kolams and light them. Gather enough lamps to surround your kolam, and position them around the outer border of the design. As the sun sets for the day, put the oil inside of the lamps, and then light them one at a time to illuminate the kolam for the festival.\nMake sure the outdoor lamps are clay because they are less likely to blow away or fall over if the weather becomes bad. <img> Light colorful lamps and candles throughout your home. Place a lamp or candle in each of your windows, and position lamps in any room where you'll be spending time. If you have a Puja room, put a few lamps in there and light them. Make sure your candles aren't too close to anything that could easily catch on fire before you light them.\nThe lamps are meant to serve as a reminder during the holiday that good can overcome evil. <img> ",
"Exchange gifts with your friends and family to show your appreciation. Make or buy small presents for each member of your family, and make time to see each other during the festival. Enjoy each other's company by playing games, eating your favorite meals, and catching up on each other's lives.\nChildren are normally given gifts like firecrackers and noisemakers, which they can take outside to play with.\nTraditionally, people will try to see every living member of their family during this time. If you're far away from your family, try setting up a phone or video call to talk to them. <img> Wear new clothes and shoes to look your best. One of the best parts of Karthigai Deepam is dressing up. Women tend to wear new dresses and jewelry, while men showcase new pants and shirts. Most members of the family will get a new pair of shoes in their favorite style for the celebration.\nThere isn't a traditional dress code for the festival, but people tend to dress in bright colors since it's an extension of the Diwali festival of colors. <img> Visit Tiruvannamalai hill to see the lighting of the lamp if you're in India. Karthigai Deepam is celebrated mostly in the Tamil Nadu region of India. Plan to go on the 10th day of the festival to see the lighting of the big lamp on the hill, which is free and visible to anyone in the area.\nBe sure to get there before noon, since the lighting starts around 5 p.m., and around 1 million people attend the event every year. <img> Walk around the town to view the decorations and lights. Take a stroll through Tiruvannamalai after the lighting ceremony. Feel free to take pictures of your favorite lights and kolams, and talk to the people outside of the houses. Most people are very friendly and happy to talk to anyone at the festival!\nYou can also grab some food to eat from one of the many vendors at the festival, and eat while you walk around the town.\nThere might also be people dancing and singing throughout the town. You can watch them while you walk around, or join in to take part in the celebration! <img> ",
"Meditate with the success of your family members in mind. When you pray, focus on the prosperity of others, like your relatives and close friends. This signifies your selflessness, and they will be praying for your success and prosperity, as well. Pray for their health, happiness, success, and safety in the upcoming year.\nIf you have children, you can teach them to pray for their friends, cousins, and adult family members. If they have siblings, it may be helpful to tell them to focus on praying for only their siblings at this time. <img> Do favors for your friends and family to help them become more prosperous. Throughout the festival, do your best to help others and go out of your way to assist them. Offer to run errands or help with cooking and cleaning for the festivities. In return, their lives will become easier and you can feel more fulfilled.\nIf your friends and family members don't need help at the time, that's okay. Keep an eye out for other ways you could help them. <img> Forgive others and focus on your future. If you've had conflict with your friends and family in the past, Karthigai Deepam is a time to reflect on these conflicts and forgive those who have hurt you. Talk to them about how things can change in the new year, and let them know that you want to put your disagreement in the past.\nIf you can't or don't want to talk to someone who has hurt you, try to think of ways that you can overcome those negative feelings with positive coping mechanisms, like hobbies, self-care, or even therapy. <img> "

How to Call an Ambulance | [

"4DpT3S4ezZnW"
] | [
"Compose yourself. Take a deep breath and take a few seconds to collect yourself. While time is of critical importance, you can’t help if you are hysterical. <img> Know the number. Emergency service numbers depend on which country you live in. You should always have the number to emergency services in your area memorized. After all, it is only three numbers. Look below for a list of some well-known emergency service numbers.\nDial 911 (US/Canada)\nDial 999 (UK)\nDial 000 (Australia)\nDial 112 (Europe)\nDial 119 (Japan)\nOther countries and continents have their own numbers, which can be found in this article. <img> Ask the operator for an ambulance. The operator will want to know what type of help you need. In this case, make it clear that there has been a medical emergency and that you need an ambulance immediately. The operator will send the all necessary units to assist you.\nIf the injury happened during the committing of a crime, you will also need police officers sent to your location.\nIf the injury occurred as the result of a fire or car accident, you will likely need firefighters to come to the location as well. <img> Give the operator details. The operator will ask you a number of questions so that he can inform the proper parties about the situation. When asked, be prepared to provide the operator with the following information:\nYour location.\nThe number of the phone you are calling from, if you know it.\nIf you are in a public place- give the operator the nearest intersection or landmark (example First and Main street).\nTell them your name, the injured person's name and why you need an ambulance. Relate as much medical history as you know. <img> Stay calm and follow advice. The operator will stay on the phone with you until the first emergency responder arrives. The first responder will be followed by an ambulance.\nThe phone operator may give you advice on how to help in the meantime. Follow this advice. <img> Be prepared to assist. The emergency responders may ask you to help them on the scene when they arrive. Stay calm and collected and follow any instructions the first responders give to you. You may be asked to back away from the scene of the injury and wait for further instructions. If this is the case, do not interfere with emergency responders. <img> ",
"Only call emergency services when they're really needed. As a general rule, if someone is fully conscious and able to walk there's no need for an ambulance, though they may need to go to the hospital. Only call in scenarios that require on-the-spot medical attention.\nMinor scrapes, cuts, or bruises are not emergencies.\nA broken bone, while it can be dangerous, is often not a “life-threatening” emergency. <img> Err on the side of caution. If you are ever unsure about how badly a person is injured, it is better to call emergency services. You are not a trained medical professional and likely do not know how to treat or tend to serious injuries. So let the experts handle it if you unsure what you are dealing with. <img> Look for life-threatening emergencies. It can be difficult to spot life-threatening emergencies in crisis scenarios. However, there are a few signs that you should be aware of, as they will let you know if emergency services are needed. They are:\nThe victim is not breathing\nThe victim is losing excessive amounts of blood\nThe victim is not moving\nThe victim is not responsive\nThe victim is experiencing dizziness, difficulty breathing, or seems to be in shock <img> Call first, help second. Your first instinct may be to help the injured person, but it is critical that you call for help first. Every second counts. You don’t want to waste valuable time trying to determine if you can help before calling medical professionals. <img> ",
"Analyze the situation. After calling emergency services, there are often things you can do to assist the injured person. Analyze the situation to determine if you can do anything to help before the first responders arrive. <img> Eliminate any immediate threats. If possible, do whatever you can to remove the injured person or persons from further danger. However, it's critically important that when doing this, you don't put yourself at risk of being injured. There is already one emergency, don’t make it two.\nIf the victim is bleeding a lot, apply direct pressure to the wound to stem the flow of blood. Tie a towel or shirt around the wound, then apply pressure. You can also use any available items around to create a makeshift tourniquet. A belt will do in a pinch, but is not ideal for this.\nIf the injury occurred in a car accident, you may need to assist by removing the injured individual from a car that is smoking or smoldering.\nIf the injured person is in a dangerous area, like a busy roadway, move her to the side of the road so that she doesn't get hit by a car or other vehicle.\nDon’t ever approach a vehicle that is already on fire and, if the injured person has suffered a spinal injury, never try to move the person yourself. You could make her injury worse or get yourself blown up. <img> Provide CPR. If you are licensed and certified to perform CPR, you may need to do so. Check the injured person’s vital signs. If you don’t detect breathing, perform CPR. The steps are listed below. \nWhen performing CPR, begin with chest compressions. Place the heel of your hand over the center of the chest, push down 2 inches (5.1 cm), and repeat 30 times. Make sure you pump your hands hard and fast, achieving a rate of at least 100 pushes per minute. You will be pushing down faster than once per second.\nAfter pumping the chest 30 times, blow 2 breaths of air into the person’s lungs. To do this, gently tilt the injured individual’s head backward and lift the chin upwards. Then, form a seal between your mouth and the victim’s mouth by pinching his nose and covering their mouth with yours. When providing air, blow until you see the injured person’s chest rise up. Blow in 2 breaths each time for 1 second each. \nRepeat the process for as long as necessary, pumping the chest 30 times for every 2 breaths of air you give.\nIf you are not familiar with CPR, it is better to allow someone else to administer it, as you could injure the victim in the process. <img> Find help in the immediate vicinity. You may not know CPR, but someone else around the scene of the injury might. Ask people around the scene to assist you in any way they can to help the victim. If you are attempting to move an individual (without a spinal injury) ask people around the scene for help. <img> Comfort the victim. Even if you can’t provide medical assistance, you can provide moral support. The injured person is likely to be scared or anxious. Sit with her and provide support and comfort until the responders arrive.\nTell the person that help is on the way. Keep talking to her and keep her talking to you.\nTry to help the individual relax and let her know she is not alone. If she is already on the ground, keep her lying there. If she is upright, have her lie down.\nIf she asks, hold the injured person’s hand or rest a hand on her shoulder to let her know you are still there and willing to help.\nListen to the injured person’s requests. Never give food or drink to a victim with unknown injuries. It may hurt more than it helps. <img> Get out of the way. Once emergency services arrive, get out of their way and stay out of their way unless otherwise instructed. They are trained professionals who are prepared to respond to emergencies, but they do not need any distractions from you.\nIn the case of an injury you witnessed, police will likely pull you away from the scene of the injury to ask you questions about what you saw. Follow the officers’ instructions and answer any questions you can while paramedics deal with the injured person. <img> "

How to Fry an Egg | [
"MejHjfpUQPop",
"fWdQmBLSQDtZ"
] | [
"Place a pan on the stove, heating it on medium heat. Use a pan with enough space to allow for some running between eggs. An 8-inch pan is perfect for one egg, while you'll need a 12\" or bigger for 2-3 eggs at once. <img> Add some oil or butter to the pan as it gets warm. 1/2 a tablespoon or so should be enough per egg. As it heats up, swirl it to coat the entire bottom of the pan in your oil. Monitor the burner temperature to avoid browning the oil or butter.\nUsing too big of a pan can result in sticking, since your oil is spread too thinly to cook just one egg on its own. Add a little more oil if this is the case.\nFor incredibly rich eggs, use a small pat of bacon grease.\nCooking sprays are a quick and easy ways to ensure your entire pan is coated. <img> Allow the pan to warm up until the butter/oil is hot, but not browning. A lower temperature is better; too high and you'll burn the oil and eggs quickly. You want the oil to just start shimmering or the butter to just start bubbling. When you add the egg the whites should sizzle just a little bit. <img> Break the first egg into a small dish or bowl and pour it in, or crack the egg right in the pan. You want to be gentle cracking so you don't break the yolk. Cracking the egg into a bowl first can help you get out any shells before cooking. As you drop the egg in, you should hear a slight sizzle, but there shouldn't be popping or violent splattering. <img> Cook the eggs, undisturbed, until the clear edges turn white. Once you can't see the bottom of the pan, since the whites have cooked closest to the surface, you're ready to go on to the next step. Do not try and move the eggs now, as they are gelatinous and will likely fall right back into place.\nThis usually takes 1-3 minutes. <img> Cover the pan and lower the heat once the edges have turned white. Put a lid on the pan. This will trap some steam in the pan, cooking the tops of the eggs and helping the whites set. This is the best way to keep the yolk runny, as too much direct heat can cook the yolk from underneath before the white has totally cooked. <img> Observe the hardness of the yolk by lifting the pan lid and gently poking it with your finger. When there are no more jelly-like, clear bits of uncooked egg on the whites, your egg is ready. You can keep cooking for harder eggs, or flip it off and serve immediately.\nFor your average, runny egg this process takes roughly 5 minutes from the second the egg hits the pan until it's done. <img> Lift the egg out of the pan with a quick, firm slide of the spatula. You want to move quickly lifting and removing the egg to avoid breaking it. Serve it and enjoy.\nTop with salt and pepper to taste while the egg is still hot. <img> ",
"Fry your egg in hot oil for a decadent, golden brown crust and runny yolk. To do so, heat up 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of olive oil instead of 1 or 1/2. When you crack the egg in, turn the pan so that the hot oil and egg slid to the edge of the pan, which is still over the heat. As it cooks, use a spoon to bathe the top of the egg in hot olive oil. Once the outsides are brown and crispy, remove the egg, garnish with salt and pepper, and serve.\nBe careful -- the oil will splatter and sizzle.\nThis can cook an egg in just 30-60 seconds. <img> Flip eggs halfway through to make them over-easy. Instead of putting a lid on the pan, simply flip the egg over after the whites have set to cook the tops of the yolks quickly and crisply. Be sure you use plenty of oil, and maneuver the spatula with a quick, even motions to flip it without ripping it. <img> Serve an egg with toast for a simple breakfast. The classic fried egg is with toast, often paired with fruit or meat as well, is a staple of breakfasts the world over. For a simple, filling breakfast you can add:\nSpinach or arugula.\nTomatoes and/or avocados\nBacon, sausage, or ham.\nCheese.\nFried rice. Serve a fried egg over leftovers to make a filling meal. Stir fried vegetables, lentils, rice, and even pasta get a boost of rich, warm flavor with a fried egg and some dripping yolk. If you need to quickly spice up/augment a leftover dish, look no further than the humble fried egg. <img> Place a fried egg on sandwiches or burgers for a rich, protein filled option. They make great sandwich on their own as well, stuffed into baguettes or on a bun with some cheese, avocado, and tomato. On top of a burger, an egg and the runny yolk can elevate the meat to new heights. <img> Make Huevos Rancheros. This easy breakfast dish is a bit like an open burrito. To make it, top 2-3 corn tortillas with black beans, avocado, tomato, cheese, and salsa, plus any other taco ingredients you enjoy. Top each tortilla creation with a fried egg and enjoy.\nFried eggs also go well on potato or sweet potato hashes, so try potatoes for base instead of tortillas."

How to Be a Cool Mom | [

"uSx76fiOsRfo",
"OVqqYxjtnVnZ"
] | [
"Let your children know that they can talk to you about anything. When they do start to open up to you about deeper things going on in their lives, remember to listen lovingly and without judgement. At the same time, don’t expect them to tell you everything. Respect their space, privacy, and independence and trust that you can have a strong relationship without knowing every aspect of their lives.\nExpress your willingness to listen by saying something like “David, I want you to know that I love you unconditionally and am always here to support and listen to any problems you might be having. Even if you know I won’t like what you’re saying, I want you to know I’m here to listen without judgement.” <img> Learn to listen. Whether it’s a conversation about school, relationships, politics, or the weather, talking with your children is an important part of being a cool mom. Talking to your children is not always easy, particularly at the difficult ages, such as during the teen years. However, making an effort to communicate and listen to your children’s thoughts, feelings, and opinions will have a last impact on your relationship with him or her and your status as a cool mom.\nAsk your children questions. For example “What was the best part about school today?” or “How did it make you feel when Jan didn’t invite your other friends to her birthday party?” or “Does it make you upset when your boyfriend is late to pick you up for a date?” are ways to get a conversation started. Once the conversation is started, you might get more insight into your children’s feelings and opinions than you thought possible. <img> Give your full attention. Particularly if your children approach you with an important or sensitive issue, they deserve all of your attention. For example, it is really important that in our technological age, you put your phone down when talking to your children Show them that they are your first priority.\nTurn off the radio or the television. It is difficult to give someone your full attention if there are other distractions around you.\nDon’t interrupt. Even if it’s difficult, try to hear your children out and attempt not to lecture. If your children feel like they are in for a lecture every time she talks to you, she will be less willing to do so.\nShow you care through your body language. Turn toward your child so you can properly engage with him in conversation. Make eye contact, and keep your facial expressions as neutral as possible.\nAccept that you may not always like what you hear. Inevitably, your children will do, say, or believe things that you disagree with. However, it is important to keep an open ear, and as much as possible, an open mind. <img> Speak honestly. Just as it is important to listen to your children, part of being a cool mom is being honest with your children in return. This will help you to gain their their trust and respect.\nLet your children know you make mistakes. Don’t be afraid to admit to your children if you’ve messed up, and don’t be afraid to apologize for it. Showing that you’re human too will help your children feel that they can relate to you in a more realistic way.\nTalk to your children about your own life experiences. For example, you might want to tell them about a time that you got caught in a lie by your own mother, or got in trouble at school. Explain to them the triumphs and tribulations that you faced on your journey to adulthood. They will appreciate the feeling that you can relate to them. <img> Be affectionate. A tender touch from mom can go a long way if your child has had a bad day at school or a fight with a friend. All humans crave a physical touch, so a warm embrace (or however else you choose to show affection) or a kiss can strengthen your relationship with you child. Don’t underestimate the primal power of a physical touch.\nAffection is also a good way to show that you are proud of your children. Cool moms aren’t afraid to tell their children they are proud of them, and they aren’t afraid to show it either.\nIf you aren’t the physically affectionate type, express your feelings for your children verbally. A simple “I love you” or “You’re fantastic kids” will boost your children’s confidence and strengthen your bond. <img> Show affection at appropriate times. When your children are in front of their friends or peers, it is probably not the best time to be overly affectionate. However, when you are alone at home, it is a great time to show affection to your children. Make sure you choose to show or tell your children you love them at times that they won’t find embarrassing. In particular, avoid getting overly affectionate in public. <img> Show an interest in your children’s activities. Get to know their friends, learn the rules of the sports they play, find out what they think is the coolest part of the hobbies they enjoy. Ask your children questions about the things they like to do and why. Even if you don’t actively engage in these activities with your children, make an attempt to understand them.\nAttend their choral concerts, sporting events, school plays, piano recitals, etc. Nothing makes a cooler mom than one that is in the audience supporting their children. Make being present a priority, and if you can, become involved. For example, bring orange slices for your child’s soccer team for them to eat during a half-time break.\nAsk them to show you how to do one of their favorite hobbies, and give it a try. This will make your children feel like you are truly interested in their lives. Alternatively, involve your children in your hobbies. Research shows that engaging your child in your hobbies will bring you and your child together. <img> Allow your children to have their own interests and ambitions, even if you don’t find them particularly interesting. Never try to corral your children into doing particular activities if they are interested in other things.\nWhen your children find activities and hobbies they are interested in, be engaged without being overwhelming. Become involved with their hobbies and interests, but allow them to explore and develop their passions on their own in a way that lets them grow and develop alongside their peers. Show an appropriate level of enthusiasm- this may mean always being in attendance at your child’s soccer games, but not bringing you own megaphone to cheer him on. <img> ",
"Join (or attempt!) social media. Learning to use the latest social media that is probably utilized by your children can be a great way to show that you’re up to date with the latest technology. In addition to making you a cool mom, it also provides you with a subtle way to keep an eye on your children’s friends and activities.\nBecome “friends” with you children on social media, but don’t suffocate them. While having a Facebook profile may make you a cool mom, posting on your children’s page constantly or commenting on their activities in an overly protective way will likely take you out of cool mom territory and make your children regret your online presence. Limit your Facebook interactions (and Instagram, Twitter, etc.) to “likes” and maybe a rare comment.\nDraw boundaries. It’s unwise to post overly personal statements or sentiments on your children’s social media. Never scold your children about their social media use on their social media page; instead, use it as an opportunity to have an open, honest, and productive conversation with your child. Keep some distance on social media. <img> Make your own holiday. Designate a special day (it can be once a month, once a season, or once a year) and make it a day that you dedicate to spending one-on-one time with one of your children. Pick a separate day for each child to allow some important parent-child bonding to take place. Whether you do the same activity each time or try new things, you and your child will both value the time you spend together. Here are some suggestions for how to spend the day:\nHave a girls’ glamour day: go shopping, get a massage, have your nails done, have a fancy lunch out, and drink champagne (or go out for “mocktails” or milkshakes if your child is not of legal drinking age).\nTry a class. Whether it’s a yoga class at the gym, a cooking class at a local restaurant, or a pottery class at an art studio, try an organized activity to make new memories.\nGo to a special event. Do your children have a favorite sports team or favorite band? If you can, take them to a live event; if not, plan a special “date” to watch the game or show on TV. <img> Meet your children’s friends. Meeting the people with whom your children spends the majority of their time is an important part of being a parent and can solidify your role as cool mom. While being a cool mom doesn’t mean that you need to let them engage in activities that you may not be comfortable with, this does mean that you must make an effort to accept their friends for who they are.\nAccept that some of your children’s friends will start to feel like your own children, while others will never do more than mutter “hello.” The most important thing is to make your children feel like they can be friends with anyone. <img> Keep an open door. Encourage your children to bring their friends over to your house. More importantly, make your home a place where they can feel comfortable and a place where they want to spend time.\nBe present, but not overbearing. It’s a great idea to stop in to the room your children and his friends are hanging out in and say hello, but don’t overstay your welcome. Keep an eye on the activities going on, but don’t hover. <img> ",
"Be the mom, not the best friend. Remember that at the end of the day, whether you’re considered cool or not, you are their mom, and the only one they have. Don’t try to fill the role of older sister or best friend if it means neglecting your role as mom.\nDon’t be afraid to say no. Sometimes, as a mother, you will be forced to make the unpopular decision. While this is a demonstration of your love for your children, it is unlikely that they will see it that way. This is when you must play your primary role- mom but make sure to give them a treat if they do as they're told.\nBe there whenever and wherever they need you. Your mom may be the only person who won’t get mad at a 1am phone call “just to talk” if you’ve had a particularly bad day. Be that person for your children and be prepared to offer guidance, wisdom, and a listening ear at all hours of the day.\nKeep some distance. Allow your children to have their own experiences, make their own choices, and live their own life. Watch them grow up into the people you helped them to become. <img> Be fair and consistent. Make rules and stick to them. Ensure that any punishment fits the crime. While disciplining your children may not make you a cool mom at the time, you are teaching a lesson and instilling values that will inevitably make you a cool mom as your children grow up and realizes that everything you do is out of love but again, they may not want to talk to you for a ong time after becuase of what you have said so still be kind and if they ask for just a couple more minutes, then let them. <img> Spoil them (once in awhile). Whether it’s raising their allowance, treating them to a meal at a favorite restaurant, or taking them to an amusement park or cinema, giving your kids a treat will make you the coolest mom around.\nDon’t use these treats as a bribe. Instead, use them as a reward or as a “just because you’re you” present. This will encourage your children’s positive behavior and make them feel special. <img> Respect your child’s privacy. Your children will keep secrets, and this is an important part of growing up. Being overly nosy or snooping in your children’s personal belongings is a surefire way to create tension in your relationship. Unless you believe you have a real reason to worry about something your children may be doing, respect their personal space and allow them to have secrets.\nIf you feel your children may be engaged in something that is potentially harmful to themselves or to someone around them, it is important to talk to them and address the issue as soon as possible. This doesn’t give you permission to snoop, but in extenuating circumstances, you may need to breach your children’s privacy if you feel they are threatened in any way. <img> Set boundaries and stick to them. Your children need boundaries, and will respect you for setting them. Remember that your children need you as a parent first and foremost, and as a friend after. <img> Appreciate your children for who they are. The most special thing about your children is that they will grow into totally unique people who have their own dreams, desires, ambitions, and emotions. The easiest and best way to be a cool mom is to simply love your children and guide them as they grow. <img> "

How to Approach a Stray Cat | [
"hsanFi1oz6BG",
"jd72cfAnUh5B"
] | [
"Leave out a bowl of dry cat food. You will need to start by gaining the cat’s trust, as this will make approaching the cat much easier. You can gain the stray cat’s trust by leaving out a bowl of dry cat food where they can see it. The stray cat is likely hungry and will be more inclined to approach your area if you present it with food.\nPlace the dry cat food in a bowl close to the cat or in the area where the cat is hanging out. You may also leave out a bowl of fresh water for the cat to drink. Then, step away and wait quietly for the cat to approach and eat from the bowl. Let the cat continue eating and drinking without approaching it.\nIf you are not worried about approaching the stray cat right away, you may continue to leave food and water out for the cat every day until the cat seems comfortable staying in the same area. <img> Move toward the cat slowly and quietly. Do this while the cat is eating from the food bowl. Talk quietly to the cat as you move towards it slowly. You may say, “Good kitty” under your breath or simply, “Hi there, kitty.” Talking to the cat in low tones will show it you are non-threatening and friendly.\nIf the cat appears spooked by your presence, take a few steps back and wait. Once the cat appears less freaked out by you, you should take a few steps forward and continue talking quietly. Over time, the cat should realize you are not a threat and be more comfortable with your presence. <img> Allow the cat to come to you. Do not try to force the cat to come to you or attempt to grab the cat as this will just scare it more. Instead, allow the cat to approach you. Squat down a few feet away from it and continue to speak softly to it. The cat should come to you and rub your leg or sit near you but just out of reach. These are signs it does not view you as a threat.\nAvoid trying to reach out and pet the cat or stroke the cat. This may spook it and cause it to run away. Be patient and allow the cat to approach you. <img> Lure the cat into your car or into a container. If you have confirmed the cat is a stray and it appears okay with you approaching it or it approaches you, you may be able to lure it to a safe place. You should try to lure the animal into your car by placing food on the seat and leaving the door open. If the cat does go into your car, you should close the door and go get help.\nYou can also try luring the cat into a container, such as a cardboard box or a plastic bin. You can leave food in the box or bin and see if the cat will enter it willingly. Once the cat is in the box or bin, you can then call for help. <img> Try to find the cat’s owner. If you are able to transport the cat in your car, you should take it to the nearest animal shelter. The shelter may then be able to help you find the cat’s owner, if it has one. You should also check the cat for any identification, such as a collar or a tag. You may be able to find the owner through the information on the cat’s collar.\nYou should make sure the shelter scans the cat for a microchip. If the cat has a microchip, scanning it will make it easier to identify the cat’s owner.\nYou can help the shelter find the cat’s owner by posting a “found” ad in your local newspaper or online. You can also put up “found cat” posters in your neighborhood with an image of the cat.\nYou may decide to keep the cat if the owner is not found through the shelter. If so, you should notify animal control that you have the cat and then take the cat to the vet for a check up. The vet will confirm the cat does not have any diseases or illnesses. <img> ",
"Watch for signs of aggression. The stray cat may appear frightened and scared by you, especially if is it not used to other people or to being outside. A frightened cat may hiss, growl, or spit at you. These are normal signs of fear and the cat may just be reacting to being lost, away from its owner, or outdoors. An aggressive cat may howl at you and its eyes may be dilated, with its fur on end and its head cocked back.\nIf the cat starts to act aggressive, it may be feral. Feral cats are cats that have always lived outdoors and have not been socialized to people. They usually cannot be adopted and may end up in a kill shelter if they are caught. You may try to approach the feral cat anyway to ensure it is not sick or in danger, but do so with caution.\nIf the cat allows you to approach it or if it approaches you, it is likely not feral. A stray cat will be okay with rubbing your leg or being close to you. A feral cat will likely not approach you at all and may hide or run away at the sight of you.\nStray cats also tend to walk like house cats, with their tail up. Feral cats may stay low to the ground, crouching or crawling, and protect their body with their tail. Feral cats also will not make eye contact with you and will not purr, beg, or blink at you. <img> Wear gloves and long sleeves. You should approach a frightened or feral cat with caution and protect yourself against getting scratched or injured by the cat. Wear rubber gloves and a long sleeved shirt so your skin is not exposed. \nYou should also have a towel or blanket ready to throw over the cat. Putting a towel or blanket over the cat can make it easier to put up the cat and transport it without getting scratched or attacked. <img> Let the cat approach you. Though the cat may appear frightened or scared, it may eventually approach you if you place a bowl of dry food and water in its area. You should leave the food and water out so the cat can eat and drink. Stay a few feet away from the cat so it does not feel threatened by you. You may then be able to move closer to the cat or get it to approach you by talking quietly to it.\nYou may say, “Here, kitty” or “Hello there.” With enough coaxing, the cat may come to you.\nIf the cat is feral or acting aggressive, it may not approach you. You can try throwing the blanket or towel over the cat. Then, lift it by the nape of its neck and try to put it in a box or in a container. <img> Call animal control if the cat is too aggressive. If the cat appears too aggressive, you may want to contact animal control so they can remove it safely and efficiently. Give animal control your contact number and ask them how long it will take for someone to get to the scene. Try to stay in the area until animal control arrives to make sure the cat is picked up safely.\nIf you are not able to stay on the scene, you should describe where the cat is located by giving animal control a description of any road names, landmarks, or mile markers in the area. This will make it easier for animal control to locate the stray cat when they arrive. <img> "

"Use scissors to snip sprigs of rosemary off the plant. The best time to harvest your rosemary is in the morning, after the sun has dried away any nighttime dew. \nYour rosemary plant will bush out with vigorous growth from the places where you pinched or snipped it.{\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/3\\/38\\/Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\\/v4-460px-Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/3\\/38\\/Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\\/aid1388776-v4-728px-Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":306,\"bigWidth\":728,\"bigHeight\":485,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"https:\\/\\/creativecommons.org\\/licenses\\/by-nc-sa\\/3.0\\/\\\">Creative Commons<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><p><br \\/>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"}\n\nTry to snip straight sprigs, all about the same length, for easier bundling.{\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/d\\/d6\\/Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet2.jpg\\/v4-460px-Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet2.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/d\\/d6\\/Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet2.jpg\\/aid1388776-v4-728px-Dry-Rosemary-Step-1Bullet2.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":306,\"bigWidth\":728,\"bigHeight\":485,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"https:\\/\\/creativecommons.org\\/licenses\\/by-nc-sa\\/3.0\\/\\\">Creative Commons<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><p><br \\/>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"} <img> Tie the sprigs into bundles, wrapping twine around the bases of the sprigs.

Once the rosemary has completely dried, place it on a sheet of waxed paper and separate the tough, woody stems from the leaves. Store in an air-tight container in your kitchen cupboard. Use your dried rosemary in recipes such as lamb roasts and stews, garlic and herb bread, and rosemary-infused oil and butter. <img> ",
"Prepare the rosemary. Rinse the rosemary well in cold water to remove any remaining dirt or debris. Pat dry with paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove moisture.

Leave to bake for 2 - 4 hours, until the stems of the rosemary are brittle. <img> Transfer the rosemary to a storage jar. Once out of the oven, leave the rosemary to cool completely. Gather up the edges of the parchment paper to form a funnel and slide the dried rosemary into a clean glass jar.

"Prepare the rosemary. Rinse the rosemary and shake or blot it dry, or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. <img> Spread the rosemary onto dehydrator trays. Run the dehydrator at a low heat setting (between 95 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit, or 35 and 40.5 degrees Celsius) until the rosemary stems break when bent. \nHerbs that are more delicate crumble when dry, but rosemary leaves are more likely to break, much like the stems.\nThe exact amount of time it takes to dry rosemary using this method will vary, but on average, it takes about 6 to 8 hours at 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). <img> Store in a clean, glass jar.

How to Ask God for Forgiveness (Christianity) | [
"gpSESvjVUkGj",
"JokIhc5WLkFD",
"HKU1E9sWhH7H"
] | [
"Name and admit the thing you’ve done. Before asking forgiveness, you must specifically state the thing you did wrong and admit that you did it. If you’re feeling guilty, you may be tempted to make excuses or deny that you did anything wrong. Forgiveness is impossible if you don’t admit you did something wrong.\nYou may think, “I guess maybe I shouldn’t have lied, but I had a really good reason and it was a small lie.” You are trying to justify what you did rather than admitting to it.\nBegin by praying, “Father, I took $5 from my brother without asking him for it.” You have named the sin (stealing) and you have taken the responsibility for it without making an excuse. <img> Tell God that you know what you did was wrong. Once you have named what you did, it’s important to recognize that it was wrong. It’s possible to say what you’ve done but to not believe that you were wrong to do it. Admitting you did it is pointless if you do not admit that you know it was wrong.\nYou will not receive forgiveness if you say, “I’ve been sleeping with my co-worker even though I’m married, but I don’t see anything wrong with it.” You must recognize what you did as sin, as something God is unhappy about. <img> Say that you are sorry for what you did. It is still not enough to say what you did and admit that it was wrong. Now you must apologize for it. Feel sincerely sorry for the wrong, and let that regret come through in what you say to God. It’s important that you are actually remorseful when you say you are sorry.\nAsking forgiveness from God is not like when you say sorry to a brother but you really don’t mean it. It must be sincerely from your heart.\nSay something like, “I know that what I did was wrong, and I feel truly bad for it. I’m sorry that I broke our relationship. I’m sorry for sinning against you.” <img> ",
"Pray about what you’re feeling. You must always be honest when you are asking for forgiveness. If you believe that God knows your heart anyway, there is no sense in lying to him. Tell him the guilt you feel for your sin, and that being separated from him has made you sad.\nSay, “God, I feel sick to my stomach because I know I have caused you pain.”\nIt can be good to pray aloud to God so that you are saying specifically what is on your mind as opposed to only thinking it. <img> Use scripture in your prayer. God’s word is powerful, and he encourages you to use it when you speak to him. Since the words in the Bible come from God, they show a model for how to talk to God. Search your Bible, or online, to find scriptures about asking for forgiveness. Use those to make your prayer meaningful.\nLook these scriptures up and pray them in your prayer: Romans 6:23, John 3:16, 1 John 2:2. These scriptures talk about forgiveness. The New Testament is full of truth about forgiveness.\nSearch on your own and find scriptures that speak to you about the forgiveness you’re seeking. You can repeat the scripture verbatim or paraphrase it so it means more to you. <img> Ask God to forgive you for what you’ve done. Just as you would with other people, after saying you are sorry you must ask to be forgiven. There is no special prayer you have to pray to earn forgiveness from God. All you have to do is ask him to forgive you, through Jesus Christ, and believe that he will forgive you.\nSay to God, “I denied knowing you to my friend. It was wrong and cowardly for me to do that. I’m sorry I didn’t tell him about your love for us. Please forgive me for my weakness in that moment.\"\nYou do not need to plead, beg, or repeat yourself over and over. Asking God one time, with a genuine heart, is all you have to do. <img> Tell God that you believe He has forgiven you. Belief and forgiveness go hand in hand. It’s no good to ask for forgiveness but not believe God will forgive you. God says that when you ask him to forgive you with sincere hearts that is He is faithful to forgive. Tell yourself you believe Him and tell God you believe Him.\n1 John 1:9 tells you that, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Say this scripture to God and believe it.\nIt’s important to remember that forgiven sins are forgotten. Hebrews 8:12 says, \"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” <img> ",
"Seek forgiveness from people you hurt by what you did. Although sin ultimately breaks relationship with God, other people are often hurt, too. When you know that God has forgiven you, it’s important to seek forgiveness from others. Tell the person you are sorry you hurt them and ask them to forgive you.\nRemember that you can’t make someone forgive you, and you can’t earn it from them. They will either accept that you are sorry for what you did and forgive you, or they won’t. Don’t pester them if they refuse to forgive. You can’t make them change.\nOnce you have apologized and asked for someone’s forgiveness, you must release yourself from the guilt. Even if they don’t forgive you, you’ve done your part in seeking to make amends. <img> Repent of the wrong behavior. Once you are forgiven by God for your sin and by others for any hurt you caused, you must turn away from that sin. Make a conscious decision that you will not purposefully commit the same sin again after being forgiven.\nYou must remember that you will always sin again, but it’s important to say in the moment that you are turning away. The only way to get further from habitual sin is to tell yourself you are not going to do it again.\nActs 2:38 is helpful in this process. It says, \"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”\nForgiveness is an important step, but walking away from sin is necessary, too, to remain close to God. <img> Work to keep from doing the same wrong thing again. Part of your goal in following Christ is to move further from sin, and this takes committed work. You won’t stop sinning immediately, but if you work on it, you will grow stronger. In Matthew 5:48, God calls you to become perfect, as he is perfect. It’s a goal that you must work toward.\nFind people who can help you avoid repeated sins. Learn scripture to combat temptation. Remember that sin only harms and you don’t need it.\nSpending time reading your Bible, praying to God, and talking with other Christians are all vitally important to living a life that is free of sin. <img> "

How to Eat to Get a Six‐Pack | [
"cpwwGaQYPsZt",
"CtUn5FD7Qk2u",
"8zOim904XHSe"
] | [
"Calculate your body fat percentage. Your body fat percentage indicates how much fat you have on your body. To get a six-pack that's visible, you'll need to have a low body fat percentage. If you have a high body fat percentage, you'll need to lose weight through diet and exercise to get a six-pack.\nThe best way to calculate your body fat percentage is to do caliper testing. This is a simple, painless test that you can get done at many gyms.\nIf you can't find someone to do caliper testing, you can estimate your body fat percentage at http://bmi-calories.com/body-fat-percentage-calculator.html. However, keep in mind that digital calculators that rely on BMI do not distinguish between muscle and fat. Someone with a lot of muscle will have a high BMI, but may not have much excess fat.\nIf you have a high body fat percentage, work on lowering it by losing weight through diet and exercise. Men need a body fat percentage of around 6-13% to have a six-pack. Women need a body fat percentage of around 12-20% to have a six-pack. For example, if you're a man with a body fat percentage of 18%, you'd need to lose at least 5% body fat to get a six-pack. <img> Calculate how many calories you should be eating every day. Whether you're trying to lose, gain, or maintain weight, it's important that you figure out your ideal daily caloric intake. Since getting a six-pack requires having a low body fat percentage, you'll want to pay extra attention to how much you're eating every day so you're not going over or under your daily calorie goal.\nYou can calculate your ideal daily caloric intake at https://bmi-calories.com/calorie-intake-calculator.html.\nOnce you know your ideal daily caloric intake, make it a goal to eat that many calories (and no more) every day.\nIf you're trying to lose weight, be sure you eat fewer calories than what you burn daily. <img> Log what you're eating every day in a food journal. Keeping track of what you're eating every day will help you determine if you're getting the right amount of calories. If you're not seeing results from your six-pack meal plan, you can check your food journal to see where you need to adjust your diet.\nBuy a notebook or journal to write down your meals in.\nYou can also use a fitness app, like MyFitnessPal or Calorific, to keep track of your daily eating habits.\nWhen you're logging what you've had to eat, include the number of calories. Then, at the end of the day, you can add up all the calories you've had. <img> Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Eating small meals throughout the day will help keep your blood sugar at a stable level, which means you'll have enough energy for your workouts. It's also helpful for keeping hunger and any unhealthy-food cravings under control. Your meal schedule could look something like this:\nOatmeal with a banana for breakfast.\n2 eggs with whole grain bread in between breakfast and lunch.\nGrilled chicken with spinach and a sweet potato for lunch.\nA protein shake in between lunch and dinner.\nFish with broccoli, quinoa, and carrots for dinner.\nA protein bar and an apple for an after dinner snack. <img> Avoid going for longer than 3 hours during the day without eating. When you're eating regularly throughout the day, your body is actively working to burn calories. However, if you stop eating for longer than 3 hours, your body starts to burn fewer calories. Make sure you're eating every 3 hours so your body is operating efficiently.\nIf you're eating 6 small meals spread throughout the day, you shouldn't have any problem eating every 3 hours.\nIt may help if you set a 3-hour timer on your phone or computer so you know how long it's been since you last ate. <img> Have a protein shake 1 hour before you work out and then right after. Protein shakes are an easy way to get the amount of protein your body needs to build muscle. Drinking a protein shake 1 hour before your workout and right afterward will help your abdominal muscles grow bigger and stronger.\nAvoid using protein powders that contain a lot of added sugars. <img> ",
"Eat 0.6-1 gram of protein per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of your bodyweight. Protein is an essential nutrient and building block for muscular growth. To get a six-pack, you'll want to make sure you're eating enough protein every day. Some protein-rich foods you can include in your diet are:\nEggs\nFish\nMeats like chicken and turkey\nQuinoa\nBeans\nLegumes\nBroccoli\nPeanut butter\nCottage cheese\nMilk\nSeeds like chia and hemp <img> Have complex carbs make up 50% of your total daily caloric intake. Carbs help fuel your body, which is especially important when you're trying to get a six-pack. Carbs will give your body the energy it needs so you can work out more. Stick with complex carbs like fiber and starch, and avoid sugary simple carbs. Complex carbs can be found in:\nVegetables like asparagus, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cauliflower.\nFruits like apples, bananas, and strawberries.\nWhole grains like oats, barley, brown rice, and whole-grain bread. <img> Include healthy fats as 10-20% of your total daily calories. While you want to avoid too much saturated fat, you want to include plenty of healthy fats in your diet. Healthy fats help your body absorb nutrients, and they keep your metabolism functioning properly. Some foods that contain healthy fats are:\nAvocados\nOlive oil\nWalnuts\nSalmon\nFlax seeds\nChia seeds\nDark chocolate\nTuna\nEdamame <img> Add chili peppers to your meals to reduce junk-food cravings. To get a six-pack, you'll want to avoid foods that are high in sugar and salt since they can cause you to gain weight. Chili peppers can actually stop your body from craving salty and sugary foods, so add a few of them to your meals every day if you need some extra help sticking to your healthy diet.\nFor breakfast, try adding chili peppers to an omelet.\nYou can also add chili peppers to salads and stir-frys. <img> Eat a couple servings of yogurt every day to help prevent bloating. Stomach bloating can make a six-pack less visible. Yogurt is full of probiotics, which reduce bloating, so try to include a couple servings of yogurt into your daily diet plan.\nYou can add yogurt to smoothies, eat it with some granola, or use it to make a dip. <img> Drink green tea before your workouts to burn more fat. Having a serving of green tea before you work out can speed up the rate at which your body burns fat during exercise. If you need to lower your body fat percentage to get a six-pack, green tea may be able to help you do it faster.\nMake your green tea using pure green tea bags and hot water. Avoid sugary green tea drinks that are sold in stores. <img> Drink 3–4 litres (0.79–1.06 US gal) of water every day. It's important that you stay hydrated by drinking lots of water when you're trying to get a six-pack. Staying hydrated prevents bloating, which can impact how visible your six-pack is. Also, since you'll be working out more, you'll need to make up for the water you're losing through sweat by drinking more every day.\nMake sure you're drinking 8 fluid ounces (240 mL) of water every 15 minutes during your workouts. <img> ",
"Avoid eating unhealthy processed foods. Processed foods are often filled with too much sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats, meaning they can make you gain weight. Since you need to be lean to get a six-pack, you'll want to cut processed foods out of your diet. Examples of processed foods you should avoid are:\nProcessed meats like bacon and sausage\nFrench fries\nChips\nCookies\nIce cream <img> Cut out sugary sodas and energy drinks. Sodas and energy drinks are full of added sugars that can make you gain weight. They can also end up affecting how much water you're drinking every day if you drink them too much.\nStick with water so you're staying hydrated throughout the day. <img> Limit how much alcohol you're drinking. Alcohol, particularly wine and beer, is high in calories. It also increases your appetite and makes you more likely to eat unhealthy foods. While you're trying to get a six-pack, limit your alcohol consumption to 1 or 2 drinks a week so you're not taking in too many unnecessary calories.\nIf you're going to have a drink, go with a vodka and soda water instead of wine or beer. <img> "

"Conduct some market research. If you are interested in starting a leasing company the first task is to research the leasing market in your locality. Look for your leasing businesses that are successfully operating and note down the type of items they deal with. You can start just by searching for a particular range of products you would like to lease online and seeing what is available. This initial market research is essential to inform how you develop your plans for your business.\nIf you are thinking of starting a kitchen equipment leasing company, but there are a number of well-established companies already doing this it could be hard to break through.\nAlternatively, the success of existing businesses could indicate a particularly strong demand for a particular range of leasing items in your area. <img> Use a variety of sources for research. There are a number of online market research resources that can easily be found through search engines. These services have extensive databases, but the reports are not free to read. The US government supplies financial and market data that you can access for free when you are doing market research.\nLook in the financial press for news on develops in the industry you are interested in.\nBe sure to tailor your research to your business ideas. If you are starting up a small local leasing business, knowing about the large international markets will be of less immediate relevance. <img> Decide what you will lease. Once you have a clear picture of the market, you need to begin to develop your ideas about what exactly your leasing business will do. If you have specialist knowledge or experience in a particular line of business this can inform the direction you and your business takes. For example, if you have worked in an auto showroom you might have useful knowledge about the auto market that could help you set-up an auto leasing company. <img> Investigate the costs. A leasing business is one that can require relatively high amounts of start-up capital. It is a business which works by buying things and then leasing them out to other businesses, so you will need to be able to build up a good stock of equipment before you can start leasing things out. Before you get any further consider the potential costs and draw up some basic estimates.\nAll of this research on the leasing market, the costs and the potential profits will be used when you write up your formal business plan. <img> Draw up a business plan. A clear business plan is important when starting a leasing company, especially if you plan on borrowing money. If you can present a convincing and well-researched business plan to your bank, they are more likely to financially support your new leasing company. A business plan will generally begin with an executive summary and company summary which will outline the core values and structures of your business.\nYour business plan should clearly state what items you plan to lease and a market analysis summary which details where in the market your business will be situated.\nIt should also include a strategy and implementation summary outlining how your business will operate, as well as a management summary detailing how it will be managed.\nYou can access helpful examples of business plans for leasing companies online.\nIt is essential to have clear and well-researched financial plans which are realistic and achievable. <img> ",
"Investigate legal requirements. Before you go any further in your business planning and development you must ensure you fully understand the legal and regulatory requirements for those starting a new leasing business. If you are inexperienced in business, this can be a confusing and even intimidating experience. There are finance laws, labour laws, marketing laws, privacy laws, and more that you need to consider.\nYou will be able to take care of some of the legal requirements on your own. These include, naming the business, filing and registering paperwork to indicate that you are starting a business, forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC), or business partnership.\nThere are some things that you will need a lawyer or attorney for. These include forming a corporation, filing a patent, litigation, or if you are buying or selling a business.\nWorking with an attorney who specialises in business law and start up companies can be a highly beneficial move if you are not experienced. An attorney will be able to advise you on legal and regulatory matters as well as the financial and contractual decisions you have to make. <img> Register your business. It's essential that you ensure the business is properly registered. To operate legally, your organization will need to be registered in the state in which it runs. Luckily, the process by which a business is registered is relatively simple. Business license application forms can usually be found at city hall.\nYou will also need to register your business on the Federal level. To do this, you must obtain an Employee Identification Number (EIN).\nObtain an EIN by visiting the website of the Internal Revenue Service and filling out the appropriate online forms.\nA State Sales Tax ID is issued by your state and gives your business the authority to collect sales and use taxes, as well as issue any tax exemption documents. <img> Secure finance. It is highly likely that you will require funding to set-up and run the leasing company. You need to have a clear understanding of your financial needs as well as the long and short term financial projections for your business. Getting a loan is not easy so it's important that you understand the key issues a lender will consider. These include:\nYour ability to repay the loan as evidenced by your business plan and projections.\nYour credit history.\nYour collateral.\nAny equity financing you have in place. That is, investment from other sources.\nYour management experience and track record in business.\nLeasing companies are not eligible for financial support from the US Small Business Administration. <img> Consider incorporating your business. As you develop your plans you can consider incorporating your business. An advantage to this is that you are limiting your liability so your personal assets will not be seized if the business runs into difficulty. Instead you will become a shareholder who is not held responsible for the company's debts. This is a good way to protect yourself financially. Consult with a business attorney to see if this is the appropriate route for your business to take. <img> ",
"Build up your business's physical infrastructure. Once you have taken care of all the preparatory steps you can start to formalise your business and make it a reality. A leasing business will require a strong physical infrastructure to meet the needs of its clients. Depending on what your business specialises in, you will need premises to store your leasing equipment as well as office space to conduct the business.\nYou will also need staff and vehicles to deliver the items that are being leased out.\nRefer to the implementation strategy section of your business plan. <img> Acquire your inventory. The essential component of a leasing company is the inventory of items that you will lease out. As such, you should take your time and negotiate with suppliers to be sure that you are getting a good deal and can expect to make a profit. You will have developed a good knowledge of your industry when conducting your research, so should know how much you can expect to lease a product for, before you start buying up your inventory.\nBuying in bulk will reduce the unit cost and potentially increase the profit margin on each leasing contract you complete.\nSpending a lot of money establishing a large inventory can be a risky move for a start-up business when the future is unknown. You need to carefully consider the size of your orders and don't get in over your head.\nExcellent market research will help you decide on how much inventory to purchase in the first instance, but this is always an imprecise science. <img> Lower the cost of buying inventory. Try to find ways to lower the cost of buying inventory, especially in the early days of your business when the future is insecure. Doing this can give you more financial breathing room while you work on establishing your business and its place in the market. Contacting suppliers at the end of month to see if they have excess stock at reduced prices is one way to do this.\nTry to ensure that termination clauses are built into your contract with the supplier so you can cancel a contract a point before it would otherwise end. For example, a termination clause might enable the contract to end after a year rather than after three.\nYou can also ask to spread payments over the duration of a contract rather than paying for everything up front. <img> Develop your online presence. Websites and effective online networks are essential to any new business. Your website will most likely be the first point of contact for potential customers so you must ensure that it is easy to use and navigate, and it clearly lays out what your business does. Have clear goals for what you want your website to achieve and a determined budget set aside for its creation and maintenance.\nYou should aim to have a website that is relatively simple and enables customers to click through and make orders with just a few clicks.\nIt's important to analyse the effectiveness of your website once it is up and running. Using web analytics will enable you to gain a clearer view of how your website is working in practice. <img> Use branding. When you are building up your business identity through physical premises as well as an online presence and marketing campaigns, it's important to develop a coherent brand. Start with an eye-catching logo that reflects the qualities of your company and have a consistent visual presentation across all different platforms. You want your business to be easily recognisable and have a strong identity.\nOften businesses hire specialist designers to produce a logo and branding imagery because it is considered such an important element.\nOnce you have a logo, you will not want to change it often or at all. Be sure you are happy with something before signing off on it. <img> Promote your services. To find clients and develop contracts you need to effectively market your business. This can be tough at the beginning so be innovative and consider various special offers and deals to attract new customers. If you are starting a new leasing company, you will probably have a limited marketing budget so it's important that you use the money wisely and strategically. Target your marketing very specifically at key areas where your research has shown there to be a demand.\nFor example, if you are leasing farm equipment, advertise in relevant publications and at relevant events where your target audience are most likely to be found.\nThe market analysis conducted for your business plan should indicate where the demand for your services is to be found. <img> "

How to Show Someone You Don't Care | [
"0UvtjUIET1Ms",
"gRLuQac7opZB"
] | [
"Take a little time to \"let it all out.\" Right after you get rejected, it can be tough to get a handle on your emotions. If your crush teases you during this time, you may not be able to control your reaction well. Do whatever you need to do (in private) to get over the fact that you were rejected. Cry, kick, scream — get it all out of your system.\nIf your crush has really gotten to you, don't be afraid to talk to your friends or family about how you feel. Your most trusted relations can comfort you and offer helpful advice during this time. <img> Avoid your crush when you can. When your former crush wants to get a flustered reaction out of you, staying away will deny him or her the satisfaction. Don't go where this person likes to hang out. Don't talk to this person unless you are forced to. You should even avoid your crush's friends — it's impossible to tell whose side they have actually taken.\nThis advice extends to technology. Don't answer your crush's calls or texts. Delete your crush from your social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). <img> Keep your confidence when you do have to interact. Eventually, you may be forced to talk to this person (especially if you share a class or are paired together at work). Ignore him or her until you are spoken to first. When you do have to talk, try to act polite but disinterested. Speak in short, proper sentences (e.g., \"Yes, that's good. No, it doesn't matter. OK. Sure.\")\nIf your crush teases you, shut him or her down immediately with silence and an icy-cold stare. S/he is trying to get a reaction out of you, so don't allow yourself to become upset or angry. <img> Keep yourself busy. Don't let yourself wallow in thoughts of what could have been if your crush hadn't ended up being a jerk. Instead, show that you don't care about this person by moving on with your life! Devote yourself to your work or school work. Start a new exercise routine. Take up a new hobby. Try to master an old one. Do something that can heal you. Anything you can do to stay busy will help keep your mind off of your former crush's negativity.\nRemember: dwelling in the past will only hold you back. If you let yourself do this, you may eventually end up picking up your phone, checking out old pictures, and even getting the urge to text this person. Stay strong — don't go back to a person who's been hurting you. <img> Resist the urge to get revenge. When someone's been mean to you, it's only natural to want to get even. Unfortunately, if you're trying to prove that you don't care about someone, this is one of the worst things you can do. Lashing out with an angry outburst or plotting an ice-cold revenge scheme may make you feel good in the short term, but they won't help you get over this person in the long term. For this, happily ignoring the person who hurt you is almost always the best revenge.\nAlso, it's wise to remember the old saying, \"Don't argue with idiots. From a distance, people can't tell who's who.\" Trying to get back at an old flame can make you look petty or childish to others. The best course of action? Don't even run this risk. <img> ",
"Focus on your own value. Once you start to get over the initial pain of rejection, it's time to start moving on. However, you can't do this if you don't believe you're worth it! Start to reaffirm yourself mentally. You can use whatever positive thoughts you want, but the following three work well: You are beautiful/handsome (whichever you prefer). You are intelligent. Your crush is foolish for not accepting you.\nNever feel like you're weak or helpless without this person. Admire your independence. Putting your former crush on a pedestal diminishes yourself. <img> Let go of shame. Asking someone out and getting a \"no\" is bad enough, but when your crush is actually rude back to you, the embarrassment can be almost unbearable. The shame you may feel will gradually start to fade — this will go faster for some people than for others. Don't continue to focus on your negative feelings from the past, replaying them over and over again in your head. Instead, let them go and pursue new, positive emotions instead.\nRemember that you can never change the past. This means that it's illogical to worry about it. Why worry about what you can't change? <img> Realize that your crush's \"games\" are immature. Healthy, mature people don't make fun of the people who have crushes on them after they confess the way they feel. They don't tease them afterward. If your crush did this to you, there is one silver lining: you now know that your crush is an immature, insecure person. It should feel good to know that the person you've been worrying about is definitely at fault. <img> Don't let your crush back into your life. Over time, you should start to feel better. You should gradually start letting go of the shame and embarrassment from your experience and start focusing more on your own value. However, if your old crush works his or her way back into your life, this person can throw you off the path to recovery. If you can help it, you don't want to talk to him or her before you're 100% better. If s/he tries to get back into your good graces, don't be afraid to ask for some space.\nIf your former crush won't get the message, be direct. It's OK to say, \"I don't want to talk to you for a while. Leave me alone.\" <img> Start to view your crush as unimportant. Your end goal is for the person who once caused you so much embarrassment and anxiety to become basically unimportant to you. This will take lots of time and patience, but if you follow the instructions above, you should gradually show signs of improvement. Eventually, you will probably find it funny that you once cared so much about this person.\nWhen you're ready to leave your former crush behind for good, start looking for someone who respects you and cares for you, rather than someone who will belittle you for the way you feel. Remember: happiness is the best revenge. <img> "

How to Relieve Plantar Fasciitis Pain | [

"Rest your foot. One of the best ways to relieve the pain of plantar fasciitis is to rest it. This means staying off of it as much as you can. When you are home or at work, try to stay seated and only walk on it if you have to. You might consider using crutches for a few days to take all pressure off the foot.\nIf you usually do exercises that use your foot, consider doing something different, like swimming or weight lifting. <img> Use a foot support. An arch support can help distribute the pressure of your foot in an even way, which can take the extra stress off your plantar fascia. You can also use a heel cup. You can get an arch support without a prescription at many drug stores, medical supply stores, and pharmacies.\nExamples of arch supports that come with a soft cushion are Spenco and Cross Trainers. For some people, a custom-made support may be needed. These can be acquired through your doctor.\nYou can also see a podiatrist to get a custom orthotic that will support your arch and foot ligaments.\nWhen you're choosing shoes, look for a sturdy shoe with a modest heel, maybe 1–1.5 in (2.5–3.8 cm). Make sure the shoe doesn't twist and turn—if the shoe bends, it should only be at the widest part of the shoe, near the toe box. <img> Use an ice pack. Ice is helpful with plantar fasciitis pain because it works to reduce inflammation. You can use an ice pack on the bottom of your foot for 20 minutes three to four times a day. You can also try using an ice bath, which is where you soak your foot in an ice and water mixture for about ten to fifteen minutes.\nMake sure to place a cloth or towel between the ice pack and your skin.\nHeat generally doesn't help plantar fasciitis pain, but if the ice doesn't help, you can try a heating pad after a couple days to see if it will relieve pain. <img> ",
"Do a wall stretch. This stretch helps to lengthen and stretch your arch and Achilles tendon. Start by leaning forward against a wall, keeping one knee straight and the same leg's heel flat on the ground. Bend your other knee. You will feel the Achilles tendon and foot arch on the straight leg stretch as you lean forward.\nHold this pose for 10 seconds. Then, relax and straighten up. Repeat 20 times with both legs.\nPlantar fasciitis pain is actually caused by tight muscles in your calf, which is where your Achilles tendon originates. Stretching your Achilles tendon can help relieve your pain, especially if you do it before and after you exercise. <img> Perform a squat stretch. This stretch also focuses on your arch and tendons. Lean forward onto a counter top. Spread your feet shoulder width apart, keeping one foot in front of the other. Bend your knees and slowly squat down. Try to keep your heels on the ground for as long as you can.\nYou will feel your Achilles tendon and foot arch stretch as you squat down.\nHold the squat for 10 to 15 seconds. Then, relax and straighten up.\nRepeat 20 to 25 times. <img> Stretch the sole of your foot with your hands. This stretch helps to lengthen the plantar fascia and is similar to what you will do if you wrap your foot. Cross whichever leg is affected over your other leg. Using the hand on the same side as the hurt foot, grab the sore foot and gently pull your toes back towards your shin.\nThis creates some tension or stretch in the arch of the foot and at the plantar fascia.\nHold this stretch for 10 to 20 seconds and repeat 10 times. You can also massage the arch with your thumb, which can help break down any scar tissue that's causing you pain. <img> Do all foot stretches gently. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society recommends doing stretches that target your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia to help treat plantar fasciitis and reduce the risk of a recurring injury. For these exercises, make certain you move slowly, gently, and smoothly. Don't make any quick movements because this may re-injure the plantar fascia.\nRepeat these exercises at least three times a day. Do these stretches especially after you have been sitting for a long time and when you get out of bed in the morning, when plantar fasciitis pain tends to be worst. Look for other times that you can incorporate stretching into your schedule, as well, like when you're having a meal or brushing your teeth. <img> ",
"Sit in a comfortable position. The first thing you need to do when wrapping your foot is to get into a comfortable position. You can rest the affected foot on the opposite knee if that is comfortable. Make sure you have good access to your foot so you can stretch it and wrap it properly.\nWrapping your foot can reduce the pain in your foot by keeping it stretched. It also helps minimize any stress and inflammation. There are night splints available at most medical supply stores, but you can often replicate these for much less money. <img> Wrap the bandage around your ankle. Gently pull your toes up toward your head. You should feel a light stretch, but no serious pain. Place one end of the elastic bandage on the top of your foot. Keeping your foot flexed, wrap the elastic band around your foot. Then bring it around your ankle.\nThe main goal of wrapping your foot is to keep the foot flexed with the toes pointing or pulled toward your head until you feel a stretch in the bottom of your foot. Remember this should only be a gentle stretch. <img> Continue wrapping the bandage around your foot. After one wrap around your ankle, loop the elastic bandage back to your foot. Fold the bandage and slip the folded bandage between your big toe and first toe. Then pull the bandage back to the ankle. Continue wrapping around your ankle, tucking the end of the elastic bandage under the wrapped bandage when you are finished.\nMake sure you keep your foot flexed with toes pointed toward your head during the entire process.\nYou don't have to wrap tightly. The point of the elastic bandage is not to compress but to keep your foot flexed and the plantar fascia gently stretched.\nBe careful when standing up or getting out of bed. Do this slowly. <img> ",
"Use OTC pain medications. A common way to relieve pain from plantar fasciitis is to take over-the-counter pain medication. You can use OTC anti-inflammatory medications to help decrease the inflammation and the pain in your foot. These medications include Ibuprofen, such as Advil and Motrin, and Naproxen, like Aleve.\nUse the medication only as directed on the package. You can take these medications for up to two weeks. <img> Try corticosteroids. If you have plantar fasciitis pain that doesn't respond to any of the home treatments, you may want to see your doctor. Your doctor may suggest corticosteroids if you have pain that just won't go away. Usually, these injections work better if done early; however, doctors usually only administer them in more severe cases.\nYour doctor will probably suggest other at-home methods before giving you these injections.\nMultiple shots are not recommended. This can weaken your plantar fascia or diminish the pad that covers your heel bone.\nBefore you get an injection, you will have to get a radiograph of the food. <img> Undergo surgery. In the most severe cases where the pain doesn't decrease and the plantar fascia doesn't heal with other treatments, a physician may suggest surgery. In the surgery, a surgeon will release your plantar fascia from the heel bone. This is the last resort option for pain.\nIf you undergo this surgery, you may end up with a weakened foot arch. <img> "

How to Treat Herpes | [

"Get an accurate diagnosis from your doctor. Herpes blisters are small, red, and filled with a yellowish fluid. Small blisters can cluster together and grow into a larger blister. To rule out other causes, have your doctor examine the blisters and, if necessary, take a viral culture.\nHerpes virus type 1 usually causes blisters around the mouth, and herpes virus type 2 usually causes genital outbreaks. Blisters are often painful, burn, or itch. You may also experience moderately enlarged lymph nodes. You might feel tingling or pain in the affected area just before an outbreak.\nFever, swollen glands, flu-like symptoms, and decreased appetite often occur, especially during the first outbreak.\nIt's important that you doctor does a thorough examination, as there are other conditions that can cause similar bumps around your genitals, anus, or perianal area. These include syphilis, chancroid, carcinoma, trauma, or psoriasis. <img> Manage your first outbreak with a prescription antiviral. The first outbreak is usually more severe and lasts longer than subsequent outbreaks. Because of this, doctors typically prescribe an oral antiviral medication to manage an initial infection. The medication may be administered either episodically or continuously with suppressive therapy, depending on what your doctor prescribes.\nMedications for oral and genital herpes include acyclovir (better known by the brand name Zovirax), valacyclovir (better known as Valtrex), and famciclovir (better known as Famvir).\nThese don't cure herpes, but they help relieve symptoms and shorten the outbreak's duration. The treatment is most effective when it's begun within 1 day of the outbreak onset.\nIf the doctor prescribes an episodic treatment, the patient should be given the medication or a valid prescription for it so that they can administer it at the first sign of a new outbreak.\nWithin 12 months of their first outbreak, about 90% of patients report at least one recurrence. <img> Take your medication according to your doctor's instructions. Take your medication as prescribed, and don't stop taking it prematurely, even if your symptoms improve. Depending on which medication you're prescribed, you'll take 1 to 5 tablets per day with a glass of water for 7 to 10 days.\nSide effects don't usually occur, but can include fatigue, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Taking a tablet with food can help prevent an upset stomach. <img> Apply an antiviral cream if your doctor prescribes one. Your doctor might prescribe an antiviral ointment instead of or in addition to oral medication. Apply a prescription ointment as directed. To prevent spreading the outbreak, apply the ointment with a cotton swab, and wash your hands after tending to the affected area.\nDon't let the swab touch anything after it's come into contact with your skin. If you need to apply more ointment, get a new swab instead of adding more medicine to the used swab. Throw the swab away promptly after applying the ointment.\nOintments are usually only recommended for oral herpes. If you experience oral and genital herpes, don't apply medication intended for oral herpes on your genitals. <img> Ask your doctor if they recommend medication for recurrent outbreaks. Most people experience multiple herpes outbreaks, which can occur weeks or months after the first outbreak. Subsequent outbreaks are usually mild, and many people don't seek medical treatment. However, you should ask your doctor about taking antiviral medication if painful, itchy blisters affect larger patches of skin or if you have a fever or flu-like symptoms.\nIf your doctor prescribes an antiviral medication, take it as directed. <img> Take a daily medication if you experience frequent outbreaks. People who experience 6 or more outbreaks per year should take acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir every day. Depending on the type of medication prescribed, you'll take 1 to 2 tablets with a glass of water daily.\nDaily suppressive therapy can reduce the number of outbreaks by 70 to 80%.\nIf you have a partner who doesn't have herpes, taking a daily medication can also reduce the risk of spreading it to them. <img> Try episodic therapy if you don't want to take medication daily. Episodic therapy involves taking an antiviral medication as soon as you feel tingling and burning, which are the first signs of an outbreak. For best results, you'll need to take the first dose within 24 hours of experiencing the warning signs of an outbreak. You'll then continue taking medication for 5 to 7 days.\nEpisodic therapy might be your best option if you don't like taking pills, or if taking a daily suppressive medication isn't affordable. <img> ",
"Relieve itching and pain with an over-the-counter ointment. Look for a medicated ointment that contains lidocaine, benzocaine, or L-lysine at your local pharmacy. These products can relieve pain, itching, and burning, and might reduce an outbreak's duration. Read your product's instructions carefully, and use it as directed.\nTo ease symptoms on/in mouth: gargle (do not swallow) hydrogen peroxide (caution it can stain clothes), make sure to allow it to spread over the bumps on lips as well for roughly 30 seconds. Rinse with water, dry off, and add Neosporin to lips (like chapstick).\nDon't apply ointment to genital herpes sores without consulting your doctor. Herpes outbreaks can affect sensitive mucous membranes in and around the genitals. Applying medicated ointments to these areas without your doctor's approval can be harmful. <img> Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve pain, swelling, and discomfort caused by a herpes outbreak. Take any over-the-counter medication according to the label's instructions.\nAvoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen. In combination, alcohol and acetaminophen can cause liver damage. <img> Apply a cold or warm compress to ease pain. Try applying warm and cold compresses to the affected area, and see which is better at relieving your symptoms. Wrap ice or an ice pack in a cloth, and hold it to the area for 20 minutes. To apply heat for 20 minutes, microwave a damp cloth for 30 seconds or purchase a warm compress at your local pharmacy.\nUse a hot or cold compress every 3 hours to relieve pain, itching, and swelling. If you experience burning, go for ice instead of heat.\nPromptly machine wash the cloth you used on a hot water cycle to prevent spreading the infection. <img> Wear loose cotton clothing during genital herpes outbreaks. Avoid wearing tight undergarments, pantyhose, and tight pants. Instead, wear loose-fitting garments to provide air exposure to the affected area and reduce irritation.\nAir can help speed healing. For this reason, you should also avoid bandaging the area.\nCotton is more breathable than synthetic fibers, such as nylon or polyester. <img> Take an Epsom salt bath or soak the area in a salt solution. Soak the affected area for 10 to 20 minutes in a mixture of 2 teaspoons Epsom salt and 2 cups (470 mL) of warm water. If you prefer to take a bath, add 1 cup (240 mL) of Epsom salt to the tub.\nEpsom salt soaks can cleanse the area and soothe pain and itchiness. <img> ",
"Wash your hands after tending to the affected area. Apply prescription and over-the-counter ointments with cotton swabs, and avoid touching the area unless you're cleaning or caring for it. After tending to it, wash your hands thoroughly with antiseptic soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds.\nNever pick at or try to pop sores. You'll worsen itching and pain and risk spreading the infection.\nPracticing healthy hand hygiene is absolutely essential. It's easy to spread herpes to other people or other parts of your body during an outbreak. <img> Maintain a balanced, nutritious diet. Eat your daily recommended servings of vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins, and dairy products. To maximize your nutrient intake, include a variety of veggies in your diet, such as leafy greens, root veggies, and legumes. Fruits and lean sources of protein, such as poultry and fish, are also vital for your immune health.\nA healthy diet can help keep your immune system strong and reduce the risk of future outbreaks.\nLearn more about your specific daily recommended values at https://www.choosemyplate.gov. <img> Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day. Go to bed early enough that you can get enough sleep, and avoid drinking caffeine or eating heavy meals within 4 to 6 hours of bedtime.\nProper rest will help keep your immune system strong. <img> Try to keep your stress levels in check. Stress can weaken the immune system and trigger outbreaks, so work on managing your stress levels. Take deep breaths and try to relax when responsibilities begin piling up or when you feel overwhelmed.\nBreathe in and out slowly when you're stressed, close your eyes, and imagine that you're in a relaxing, comfortable place. Control your breathing and visualize calming scenery for 1 to 2 minutes, or until you feel more relaxed.\nWhen you feel overwhelmed, break large problems up into smaller, actionable steps. Don't be afraid to turn down extra commitments if you have a lot of your plate.\nTalk to friends, relatives, or coworkers if you need help getting things done. For example, ask someone to help you with a project at work, or see if a friend can watch your kids while you run errands. <img> Wear sunblock to help prevent oral herpes outbreaks. Sunburns can trigger and aggravate oral herpes outbreaks. Whenever you go outside, wear an SPF 30 moisturizing lip balm and apply sunscreen around your mouth (or wherever you typically experience outbreaks).\nKeeping yours skin moisturized can also minimize irritation and reduce the risk of future outbreaks. <img> "

How to Confront a Friend Whose Child Bullies Your Child | [

] | [
"Get a clear picture of the bullying before you confront your friend. Talk with your own child first to get more details about the situation, and then talk with your friend after that. Be cautious when your child says that the other person was a bully and they themselves didn't do anything. The more information you have and understand, the better informed you'll be when talking with your friend.\nIf you were present when the friend's child bullied your kid, make sure to correct the bully immediately so they understand what they're doing is not acceptable.\nIf you weren't present when your child was bullied by your friend's child, try to get more specific details about what the bullying child was doing, and what your child was doing at the time. Avoid overreacting if your child says something like, \"I don't like hanging out at their house. He's mean. He keeps bullying me.\" You need to get the specifics of what this means.\nKeep in mind that it might be possible for your child to handle this on their own depending on their age and on the situation. <img> Think about how your friend may react. If the roles were reversed and your friend came to you about your child, think about how you might respond. As a parent, you may naturally want to defend your child and their actions. The same may be true of your friend.\nBe thoughtful about what you do. Think before you act.\nAvoid confronting your friend when you're very upset. For delicate matters about bullying, you need to be calm and level-headed.\nYou may want to work with a close friend or family member to help you develop your strategy. Just make sure not to do this publicly, such as on social media, and do not engage in gossip. <img> Determine how close you and your friend are. Some friends are closer than others. Have you been close friends for many years, or have you just been friends for the last few months? The length and strength of the relationship may impact how you confront your friend.\nCloser or lifelong friendships may allow for more openness and brutal honesty. Consider whether you feel comfortable talking about bullying in a direct way because of your friendship.\nFriends of friends, or recent friendships may require more subtlety when talking about a child's bullying behavior. You may feel like this could change the nature of the friendship.\nThink about whether or not you have had other conflicts or difficult conversations with this friend in the past. Consider how they went and what you might do differently this time. <img> Identify ways to stay friends even if your children don't get along. Figure out if you still want to be friends with someone whose child is a bully. Most likely, if it's a meaningful friendship or a person you see on a regular basis through work or family, you'll want to find ways to make the friendship work. If the friend is becoming just as mean as their child, you may want to stay away.\nConsider having one-on-one time with your friend, rather than interacting in groups or with the kids present. Try to show some compassion, and figure out how to be helpful to your friend rather than mean yourself.\nDon't take your child along on visits to your friend's home or where the friend's child may be present. <img> ",
"Talk with your friend in person about the bullying. This is the best way to avoid miscommunication. It provides both sides with the opportunity to speak. Be aware that your friend may not react as you expect, so be prepared.\nFocus on talking with your friend one-on-one first, without getting your child or the friend's child immediately involved.\nBe prepared for your friend to possibly act defensive. Your friend may be caught off-guard.\nFor example, say, \"I hope that we can sit down and talk for a little bit. I wanted to talk with you about our kids.\" <img> Use phone calls or emails as a less direct way to talk about bullying. Some people want to avoid confrontation. You may feel like it's too awkward to talk directly with your friend about what's happening. Consider a less direct approach.\nThough not in person, phone calls allow for back-and-forth dialogue. Consider scheduling a time to talk when it's convenient for both you and your friend.\nEmails are the least direct way to confront your friend about their child's bullying behaviors. At the same time, emails allow for the respondent to process what is said and have more time to respond back.\nAvoid texting back and forth with your friend about bullying. Texting is for short, brief information, not long discussions. <img> Present that facts of the situation. When confronting your friend, focus on giving just the facts of the situation. While bullying incidents can be emotionally upsetting, it likely won't help you or your friend if you go into the conversation already upset.\nPresent the facts of the situation, including the who, what, where, and when. The more detail you can provide about a specific incident, the less it will feel like an open-ended blame game.\nAvoid using the terms “bully” and “bullying when you talk with your friend. These terms may put your friend on the defensive. Also, make sure to use the children’s names rather than saying “your child” and “my child.” <img> Avoid focusing on blame and punishment. Bullying is unacceptable, regardless of whose child it is that's doing the bullying. But it's important to make your friend feel that the conversation isn't about assigning blame and punishment. The discussion should be about how to move forward in a healthy way.\nTalk with your friend about the importance of both your child and your friendship with them. Make it clear that you're not trying to make drama or get into a big fight. Try to enlist their help as a collaborator. For example, say something like, \"Any idea what we should do about this situation?\" This will help to avoid a “me against them” mentality.\nUnderstand that punishing another person's child can be a tricky thing. If your child was bullied at school, there may be certain school policies in place. Otherwise, if your child was bullied at your friend's home, it may be up to your friend to make the call about punishment. <img> ",
"See if your friend has the same concerns as you about their own child. Ask your friend if they have noticed any changes in their child's behavior. Discuss any concerns you have personally seen in the child's behavior, regardless of the bullying. Be empathetic to your friend and their child.\nRather than making your friend feel judged, listen to what may be worrying your friend about their own children. They may also be concerned about what to do regarding their child's behaviors.\nOffer emotional support if it seems like your friend is going through a difficult time with their children or life in general. You might even want to prompt them to think about any factors that might be affecting their child’s behavior. Let them know that you are willing to listen if they want to share, but do not pry. <img> Collaborate with your friend about parenting. If your friend is open to your help and advice, find ways to collaborate and support one another. Parenting is tough, and sometimes parents with mean or unruly children are the sweetest people themselves. Help to show them alternative parenting methods without criticizing them.\nGet their perspective on what is and is not bullying.\nAsk them about what methods they use for discipline, and what has worked and not worked in the past. You might also want to have a book recommendation ready or the phone number of the school counselor at your children’s school. It might be easier for them to talk with a third party and get advice than to hear it from you.\nBe reassuring when possible that you want to help and support, rather than criticize and judge. <img> Listen to your friend without getting upset. Avoid getting angry or interrupting your friend each time they say something that you disagree with. They may not have the same approach or beliefs about their child or bullying, but getting upset won't help to resolve the situation.\nGive them an opportunity to talk. When they talk, you'll be able to see if they are interested in change or not. The more that they seem open to other perspectives, the more opportunities you have work on the situation with them.\nIf you feel yourself getting upset, or wanting to constantly correct them, step away for a moment. You may need to talk with them at a later point when you're calmer. For example say, \"I'm sorry but I need to take a moment. I hope that we can talk about this later today or tomorrow when I'm more ready.\"\nKeep in mind that your friend might need some time to process this new, upsetting information. Make sure to keep the lines of communication open and let them know that you are there for them if they would like to talk.\nbe careful with your response if they make accusations about your child. It is important to avoid getting upset and to lead by example. <img> ",
"Accept that your friend may not want, or be able, to change their child's behavior. Sometimes you can't change other people's behavior, or their children's. They could be in denial, or are on the defensive, about what their child is doing. Even if you talk in the most calm and comforting way with your friend, you may not get through to them or their children.\nSet boundaries for yourself, your child, and your friend. If you feel like there's no resolution after confronting your friend, think about ways to limit your interactions between your child and your friend's child.\nUnderstand that each person will handle their children and family life differently. Be cautious of passing judgment about others. Instead, focus on making a safe and protective space for your children that is understanding of others.\nKeep in mind that it is okay to feel hurt if your concerns were dismissed. Make sure to take some time to grieve the changing relationship or loss of friendship. <img> Use a mediator or other friend to act as a go-between. If your conversation with your friend has reached a stand-still, or continues to fester unresolved, you may want to find someone who can help to facilitate the conversation.\nTalk with a mutual friend who may be able to help. The other friend could sit-in on the conversation with your friend about the bullying. They could help you stay calm and focused, as well as help to make your friend feel less judged.\nIf you and your friend have mutual family members or a common place of worship, you may want to get family members or religious leaders involved to help with the dialogue.\nFind people that can help to mediate or counsel rather than make your friend feel judged or alienated. <img> Get other authorities involved if necessary. If the bullying incident happens in school, day care center, or other child-centered place, it may be best to speak with the staff there about the situation. Be sure to let them know that you tried to resolve the matter on your own and that it did not go well. This may help them to avoid escalating the situation unintentionally. Depending on the severity of the incident, you may also want to report the incident to the local police.\nWhile some bullying may be a matter of saying mean or nasty words, other bullying could involve physical harm or injury to a child. Be vigilant when a child's life may be in danger.\nHelp to ensure the safety of your child and other people's children by notifying the school staff or other child care centers about behavior that could lead to future injury. <img> "

How to Work out a Time Signature | [
"etbRTMtavLYW",
"UaDlAb7LlAAf",
"Y0S0CddxZy5q"
] | [
"Read the top number. A time signature contains two numbers and is written as a fraction. The top number represents the number of beats in one measure of music. Common top numbers include: 2, 3, 4, and 6.\nFor example, if the top number is “4”, then each measure consists of four beats. If the top number is “6”, then the measure consists of six beats. <img> Read the bottom number. In a time signature, the bottom number represents the type of note that receives the beat. Each type of note is assigned a specific number.\n“1”: Whole note (the whole note is worth one beat)\n“2”: Half note (the half note is worth one beat)\n“4”: Quarter note (the quarter note is worth one beat)\n“8”: Eighth note (the eighth note is worth one beat)\n”16”: Sixteenth note (the sixteenth note is worth one beat) <img> Understand the time signature as a whole. After you’ve viewed the top and bottom numbers independently, you can view the two numbers as a whole. Below are a view examples:\n4/4: each bar has 4 beats and the quarter note is worth 1 beat.\n3/4: each bar has 3 beats and the quarter note is worth 1 beat.\n2/2: each bar has 2 beats and the half note is worth 1 beat.\n6/8: each bar has 6 beats and the eighth note is worth 1 beat. <img> Identify time signature symbols. Instead of numbers, sometimes the time signature is represented by a symbol. The letter “C” stands for common time and it is used to replace 4/4 time. The letter “C” with a vertical line down the center of it stands for cut time and is used to replace 2/2 time. <img> ",
"Count in 4/4 time. When the time signature reads 4/4, each measure has 4 beats and the quarter note is worth 1 beat. This means that the whole note is worth 4 beats, the half note is worth 2 beats, the eighth note is worth 1/2 beat, and the sixteenth note is worth 1/4 beat.\nIf the measure had 4 quarter notes, you would count the measure as “1, 2, 3, 4.”\nIf the measure had 1 quarter note followed by 6 eighth notes, you would count the measure as “1, 2-&, 3-&, 4-&.” “&” represents a 1/2 beat. <img> Count in 2/2 time. When the time signature reads 2/2, each measure receives 2 beats and the half note is worth 1 beat. This means that the whole note is worth 2 beats, the quarter note is worth 1/2 beat, the eighth note is worth 1/4 beat, and the sixteenth note is worth 1/8 beat.\nIf the measure had 2 half notes, you would count the measure as “1, 2.”\nIf the measure had 4 quarter notes, you would count the measure as “1-&, 2-&.” “&” represents a 1/2 beat.\nIf the measure had 4 sixteenth notes followed by 1 half note, you would count the measure as “1-e-&-a, 2.” “e-&-a” represents a 1/4 beat. <img> Count in 6/8 time. When the time signature reads 6/8, each measure receives 6 beats and the eighth note is worth 1 beat. This means that the whole note is worth 4 beats, the half note is worth 4 beats, the quarter note is worth 2 beats, and the sixteenth note is worth 1/2 beat.\nIf the measure had 6 eighth notes, you would count the measure as “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.”\nIf the measure had 3 quarter notes, you would count the measure as “1-2, 3-4, 5-6.”.\nIf the measure had 4 sixteenth notes followed by 1 half note, you would count the measure as “1-&, 2-&, 3-4-5-6.” “&” represents a 1/2 beat. <img> ",
"Identify the beat of a song. Every song has a beat, or a steady pulse. As you listen to the song, tap your toes or snap your fingers along to the beat.\nLet's use Old McDonald as an example. As you listen to or sing the song, you would tap your toes at the words \"Old\" + \"Mc\" + \"Don-\" + \"ald\" + \"Had\" + \"A\" + \"Farm\" \"(rest)\".\nRemember, beats are grouped into measures. The time signature at the start of the piece determines how many beats appear in each measure and which type of note receives the beat. Sometimes a note falls on the beat, other times a rest lands on the beat. <img> Divide the beats into measures. Measures, or bars, group beats together. Each measure contains the same number of beats. As you listen to the song, keep your ear tuned to the start of a new measure, or bar. This is usually indicated by a strong emphasis on a note (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 | ). The emphasis is usually something you \"feel.\" <img> When you listen to or sing Old McDonald, the emphasis falls on the words \"Old\" and \"had\".\n\"Old\" + \"Mc\" + \"Don-\" + \"ald\" | \"Had\" + \"A\" + \"Farm\" + \"(rest)\" |\nOn a musical score, a single vertical line separates 1 measure from another.\nIf the time signature changes in the middle of the song, the number of beats in each bar will change too. <img> Count the beats per measure. Once you've divided the beats into even measures, count the number of beats between each set of bars. This number will be the top number of the time signature.\nIn Old McDonald, there are 4 beats per measure. <img> Do your best to determine the bottom number. Figuring out the bottom number requires some guess work. Base your guess on the speed of the song's beats. If the beats seem slow, the bottom number is probably \"2\". If the beats seem fast, the bottom number is likely \"8\". If the beats seem to pass at a medium speed (60 beats per minute), the bottom number is probably \"4\".\nIn Old McDonald, the beats pass at a medium rate. The bottom number is \"4\". This song is in 4/4 or common time, so named because it is the most common meter for a song <img> "

How to Wear a Windowpane Suit | [
"fWbPxIXFMM01",
"y74Iv7jZDkfi",
"lxff7YNykJHM"
] | [
"Bring out the windowpanes with a white, bright, or pastel shirt. Look at the lines on your windowpane suit and select a shirt that is a close match or go with a bright, bold color for an even stronger effect. The light-colored lines on a windowpane suit are not always subtle, but this will emphasize them even more.\nFor example, you could wear a pastel-yellow shirt with a windowpane suit that has light yellow lines on it, or amp up the volume with a bright yellow shirt. <img> Opt for a print shirt to contrast with the windowpane pattern. Small and large print shirts can add quirky appeal to your windowpane suit, so feel free to experiment. Try a polka dot shirt, paisley, or even another type of plaid to contrast with the windowpane suit.\nMake sure to choose prints in colors that will match or complement the colors in your suit, such as a light green print shirt with a forest green windowpane suit, or a black and white print shirt with a black and white windowpane suit. <img> Wear windowpane pants with a windowpane jacket for a bold look. This is a lot of windowpane print, so some people shy away from the full suit look. However, it can be a great way to stand out and make a bold fashion statement. Still, you may want to save this look for formal affairs and other situations where you want to make an impression on people.\nFor example, you might opt for a full windowpane suit for a wedding, an awards ceremony, or an important date with your significant other. <img> Include a white or light-colored pocket square if desired. Although it’s optional, a pocket square can help to make your look seem more formal. Include a pocket square in your blazer’s breast pocket if you’re attending a formal event.Tip: Cloth pocket squares are ideal, but you can use a white paper napkin in a pinch. <img> Limit yourself to 1-2 additional tasteful accessories. If you want to wear an accessory other than a tie or pocket square, choose carefully. The windowpane suit does not need much in the way of accessories since it is already so bold, but you may select 1-2 additional tasteful pieces to wear with the suit if desired.\nFor example, you could pair a nice watch with your suit, secure your shirt sleeves with gold or silver cuff links, or accent your tie with a tie clip. <img> Go with black or dark brown shoes. Stick with a simple pair of black or brown lace-up or slip-on dress shoes to avoid clashing with the suit. Avoid bolder shoe designs, such as black and white wingtips, unless you’re trying to make an even bolder fashion statement. <img> ",
"Pair a dark-colored shirt with your suit to tone down the pattern. Choose a shirt that matches the darkest color of the suit’s fabric. A windowpane suit is a bold fashion statement on its own, so it’s fine to choose a dark, solid-colored shirt if you want to tone down the look a bit. This can even help to give the look more of a formal vibe.\nFor example, you could pair a navy shirt with a navy-colored suit or a black shirt with a black-colored suit.Tip: This is also a great option if you’re going out on the town later the same night or if you have a formal event to attend after work. <img> Tone down the pattern with dark, solid-colored pants. Similar to how you can tone down the look with a dark-colored shirt, you can pair dark-colored pants with the blazer instead of windowpane pants to bring it down a notch. Opt for a pair of pants that match the darkest color in the blazer.\nFor example, if the blazer is dark brown, opt for dark brown pants. <img> Select a subdued tie for a work-ready look. Avoid print and bold-colored ties unless you want to draw more attention to yourself. Stick with a solid-colored tie that complements your suit.\nFor example, if your windowpane suit is dark green, then a dark green or brown tie may be the perfect choice. <img> Select 1-2 tasteful accessories if desired. Too many accessories may cause the suit to appear too formal for the workplace. Stick with a watch or a tie clip to avoid making the look too dressy. <img> Choose black or dark brown dress shoes. Stick with a simple pair of black or brown lace-up or slip-on dress shoes to wear with your windowpane jacket. Steer clear of bold shoe designs for a wear-to-work look, such as black and white wingtips. <img> ",
"Try a windowpane waistcoat instead of a jacket for a subtle look. If you’re not ready to try the full windowpane suit or even a blazer yet, you might consider pairing a windowpane waistcoat (or vest) with a solid color blazer or suit. This will allow you to test out the look without making such a bold fashion statement.Tip: Adding a waistcoat under a jacket can also provide extra warmth in cold weather. A waistcoat is also a good option if you don’t want to wear a blazer at all, such as in warm weather. <img> Pair a windowpane jacket with a pair of jeans or loose chinos. If you want to look casual chic, then pairing a windowpane jacket with a nice pair of jeans or chinos is a great way to pull it off. Select pants that fit you well and are free from rips and tears. You can wear any color jeans you like, but you may want to pair darker-colored blazers with darker-colored pants and vice versa.\nFor example, if your windowpane blazer is navy blue, then opt for indigo jeans. If your windowpane blazer is robin's egg blue, then opt for light blue jeans. Tip: If you don’t want to wear jeans, khakis and linen pants are also good options for making the windowpane blazer look more casual. <img> Pair the windowpane suit with casual leather shoes or sneakers. Pairing sneakers with a suit is not something most people do every day, but it can work out well depending on the overall look and situation. The combination also works really well to elevate the sneakers to be more formal and tone down the seriousness of the suit at the same time, making this look perfect for occasions that are semi-formal.\nSneakers can also work well if you’ve chosen to wear a more casual pair of pants, such as jeans or khakis. <img> Skip the tie and leave your collar open. If you’re trying to wear a windowpane blazer in a casual way, then a tie may not even be necessary. Try the look without a tie to see if this gives you the desired effect.\nUnbuttoning your shirt by 1-2 buttons from the collar can also help to make the look seem more casual if that’s what you’re going for. <img> "

How to Respond to Redirected Aggression in Cats | [
"qsO98nclvABJ",
"VF2JmGy5VGLl",
"LROfA2cLwedu"
] | [
"Walk away. Redirected aggression is an involuntary reflex. Your cat doesn’t mean to make you the target of its aggressive outburst; the cat simply reacts to how its body feels. If your cat is showing signs of aggression toward you for seemingly no reason, consider just walking away and giving your cat a chance to calm down.\nLeaving your cat alone to get over the feelings of aggression is the best bet to ensure that there is no unintended altercation between you and your pet.\nYou should also try to segregate the cat from any other pets or humans in the house. <img> Interrupt the observation. If your cat is staring out the window with incredible intensity, you may want to try to break the spell. Give your cat a quick spray of water, clap your hands loudly, or make a loud sound to startle the cat.\nThis should hopefully cause your cat to stop paying attention to whatever it is that is agitating it and give the cat an opportunity to calm down.\nIf you use water, keep a spray bottle readily available. <img> Make safety your top priority. Remember that when you’re dealing with an aggressive cat, it’s possible that you may get injured. The cat may bite you or claw you in its redirected aggressive outburst.\nIf you have to engage with an aggressive cat, take the proper safety precautions. Wear thick gloves if possible or several layers of clothing.\nTry to avoid separating your cat from another animal if it is behaving aggressively. But if you must interfere, be extremely careful and be cautious of bites and scratches. Try using a squirt bottle or pillow to break up a fight between cats.\nRemember that it is possible for the cat to injure itself also. Try to control the cat’s behavior without provoking it to react in a way that is more harmful to itself.\nIf you do get bit or scratched by a cat, go to a doctor right away to have it treated and looked at. Even if it seems superficial and not serious, cats’ mouths have lots of bacteria and can cause very severe infections that can become systemic if not treated. <img> ",
"Limit the cat’s view outdoors. If your cat is an indoor-only cat, consider limiting how much access your cat has to viewing the outside world. Your cat is responding with aggression to things that it sees outside, but taking it out on you. You can minimize this problem by removing the temptation of the things the cat feels aggressive toward outside.\nTry covering the windows with blinds or curtains, preferably ones your cat can’t simply push out of the way.\nRemember to leave the door closed so that your cat can’t constantly look out of the screen. Additionally, you can try closing the doors to rooms that provide views of the outdoors. <img> Separate cats that fight often. If you have more than one cat in your home and one (or more) of them seems to initiate fights and engage in aggressive behavior often, you may want to consider separating them.\nAfter the cats have been separated for a while (at least a few days), start introducing them to one another again slowly.\nStart with a smell introduction, where you bring in something that smells like the other cat. Then move toward a short face-to-face encounter.\nKeep lengthening the amount of time you keep the cats together until you think they’re ready to be around each other full time again. <img> Avoid bringing in scents of other animals. Sometimes cats redirect aggressive behavior towards their owners if they catch a whiff of an unfamiliar animal on their human. If your cat is acting aggressively, try to limit your contact with other animals outside the home.\nIf you must engage with other animals, try to wash your hands or change clothing before you see your cat at home. <img> ",
"Know that it isn’t directed at you. Recognize the fact that the aggressive behavior isn’t really directed at you. This kind of outburst is an instinctual, involuntary reaction that your cat is having to other external factors. Sometimes, if the cat can’t get to the thing causing the aggressive feelings, it will lash out at the next thing it encounters.\nThis doesn’t indicate that your cat is mean, doesn’t like you, or that you have a bad relationship with your cat. <img> Speak to an animal behaviorist if your cat continues to be aggressive. If you are still having trouble understanding your cat’s aggressive behavior, find a board certified animal behaviorist to help you understand and work through your cat's behavior. This person can provide additional guidance and techniques you can use to help your cat.\nStart by talking to your cat’s veterinarian, who may be able to offer a referral. Otherwise, search for an animal behaviorist in your area. Watch for signs of aggression. If you know what to look for, the signs of aggression can be pretty obvious in cats. They typically either make themselves larger in an overtly aggressive manner, or they try to make themselves appear smaller in a defensively aggressive situation. Some standard signs of aggressive behavior in cats include:\nGrowling, howling, hissing, or spitting.\nStiff tail lowered to the ground.\nCrouching.\nFlattened ears.\nTurning sideways instead of facing the opponent straight on. <img> Monitor potential triggers. There are quite a few situations that commonly cause cats to redirect their anger. In these situations, the cat is unable to reach or interact with the object of its aggression, so it transfers these feelings and instincts to something in its environment. Some examples of situations that can cause redirected anger in cats include:\nSeeing another cat outside through the window.\nSmelling a strange cat’s odor on a family member.\nWatching birds or other prey animals.\nBeing in an animal shelter or veterinarian’s office.\nHearing high-pitched noises. <img> "

How to Get Bright White Eyes | [
"Gm58xjc0PHMK",
"IpSBWbbHBjCc",
"aS6YXoktLKFT",
"vFZrQWcaZguC"
] | [
"Use regular eye drops like Visine or Clear Eyes. These eye drops are used to reduce redness in your eyes and give them a bit of moisture to counteract irritants or otherwise dryness in the eyes. Visine, Clear Eyes, and other brands can be purchased at grocery and drug stores, as well as larger stores like Target, Walmart, and so on. Put 1-2 drops in the affected eye. Consult the instructions on the bottle for additional information.\nDon't use eyedrops like Visine or Clear Eyes too often. While they give good immediate results, when used regularly, they actually prevent your eyes from creating their own natural lubrication, and your eyes may become chronically dry, red, and dependent on the drops. A safer option is saline drops or gentle eyedrops like Systane that mimic natural tears. <img> Try thicker viscosity eye drops. A Japanese brand of eye drops called Rohto is a product that is thicker than natural tears. They have cooling properties that relieve burning eyes and they reduce redness as well. These are available at grocery and drug stores. If you have not used any eye drops before, these might not be the best ones to start with, as they can feel a little harsh to the eye. <img> Try blue eye drops. A company from Switzerland, Innoxa, makes eye drops that are actually colored blue. In addition to relieving burning and redness symptoms, Innoxa Blue Drops also coat your eyes with a light film of blue, which counteracts the yellowish tinge in your eyeballs to make them appear whiter. <img> ",
"Eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, pumpkins, lemons and oranges, contain vitamins and antioxidants that will help keep your eyes white. Eating green, leafy foods like spinach and kale also have a positive effect on your eye health. Nuts like almonds, walnuts and peanuts also contain minerals that promote eye health.\nThese fruits and veggies will also help to detoxify your liver. A healthy liver will help keep the whites of your eyes clear and bright. If your liver is full of toxins, then it may not be able to process foods and vitamins as efficiently as it should. Detoxify your liver by drinking a glass of beetroot juice on an empty stomach, or eating carrots and spinach. <img> Reduce refined sugars and carbohydrates in your diet. Reducing the amount of foods that contain refined carbohydrates and sugars, as well as wheat, can help your body process foods better and detoxify your liver. Decrease the amount of unhealthy foods you eat, particularly at night, which can interfere with a good sleep pattern. <img> Take supplements. Your eyes depend on good levels of Vitamin A and C to maintain their health. In addition to eating foods rich in these vitamins, take a supplemental vitamin every day. Also boost your level of omega 3 acids by taking 4 capsules every day of omega 3 or fish oil supplements. <img> Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep every night will ensure that your body is rested and consequently that your eyes are rested and restored to their natural white color. Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. If you are having trouble falling asleep, try soothing music or 10 minutes of meditation before going to bed to ensure that your body knows that it’s time to sleep. <img> Drink plenty of water. Bright white eyes rely on adequate hydration, and keeping your body hydrated will help replenish your body’s fluids, thus reducing puffiness and redness in your eyes. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of plain water every day, or approximately 64 ounces. <img> Cut down on alcohol and caffeine. Both of these will dehydrate your body and add to puffiness and redness to your eyes. They also can interrupt good sleep patterns, which may interfere with you getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. <img> Avoid irritants like smoke, dust and pollen. Smoking irritates the eyes and can cause redness. It can also dry out the eyes. Eliminating smoking from your daily habits can help your eyes restore their natural color and hydration. Dust that can be found both outside and inside can also irritate your eyes and make them prone to redness. Pollen and other allergens might also contribute to eye irritation. Use an air purifier indoors to reduce these irritants if they are hard to avoid. <img> Reduce eyestrain. Working on a computer all day long can take a toll on your eyes, but it might not be an option to reduce the amount of time you spend on the computer. If you must work on a computer for several hours every day, then you should address ways to help reduce eyestrain. These can include installing proper lighting, changing your computer’s settings so that your monitor is the same brightness as the rest of the room, blink more often, exercise your eyes, and so on. <img> Wear sunglasses when you are outside. UVA and UVB rays can damage your eyes over time, and exposure to sunlight contributes to yellowing your eyes. Wear sunglasses that protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays. Most sunglasses available today will have this feature, but be sure to check the label. Try to wear sunglasses whenever there is even a little glare outside. There doesn’t need to be blue skies and sun for you to need sunglasses. On cloudy days, there may be quite a lot of glare that can strain and damage your eyes. <img> Visit your doctor. You may have a medical condition called jaundice that contributes to yellowish eyes. Jaundice is a condition when hemoglobin in your blood is broken down into bilirubin and does not clear through your body properly. If the bilirubin builds up in the skin, it causes the skin and eyes to appear yellow. Jaundice can indicate a medical issue most commonly having to do with the liver, gall bladder, or pancreas. Talk with your doctor to rule out jaundice and any underlying diseases or conditions that may be contributing to yellowish eyes. <img> ",
"Try Ayurvedic remedies. Ayurvedic medicine originated in India about 3,000 years ago and uses natural remedies and practices to prevent and treat health conditions. Triphala is an herbal mixture used in Ayurvedic medicine that can treat a number of conditions, including improving eye health and eye whiteness. It accomplishes this in part by detoxifying the body. Triphala can be purchased at Indian food import stores as a powder or in tablet form.\nUse triphala as an eye wash. Dissolve one tablespoon of the powder in 8 ounces of water overnight. Strain this mixture and then sprinkle it over your eyes or use as an eye wash.\nA word of caution: triphala is also used as a laxative to correct constipation, so proceed carefully with using it.\nOne of the main ingredients in triphala is Indian gooseberry, the juice of which can be dropped directly into your eyes at night to improve their whiteness. <img> Rub carrot juice on your eyelids. Eating carrots will improve your eye health, and so will topical application of the juice. Wash and dry several carrots, and chop off their ends. Process several carrots through a juicer to get healthy carrot juice that can then be applied on your eyelids. Leave the juice on your eyelids overnight. Be careful not to put the juice directly into your eyes. <img> Use a cold compress on your eyes. Putting your skin in contact with something cold will help reduce puffiness, but it can also help whiten your eyes as well. Soak a washcloth in ice water, wring it out, and lay the washcloth over your eyes for 5-10 minutes. The redness in your eyes should diminish after repeating this a few times over the course of a day. <img> ",
"Brighten the area under your eyes. Dark circles under your eyes will make your eyes appear dull. Brighten up the area under and around your eyes by applying concealer. Dab several small dots of concealer across the bottom of your eye and gently tap across the dots to blend them with the rest of your skin. <img> Use blue tones of eye shadow and eyeliner. Adding navy or indigo blue colors around your eyes will be somewhat softer than the drama and harshness of black colors. Also, the blue tones will help to counteract yellowish colors that might show up in the whites of your eyes, which will make your eyes appear brighter and clearer. <img> Use eyeliner. These days white eyeliner could be easily found in market. Just a swipe or two of white eyeliner on your eyelid will not only make them brighter will also make them wider. You can also take little white eyeliner near corner of your lids and blend it, this will give an angel like look. Your face will look dewy and very fresh. <img> Use brown mascara on your bottom lashes. Making your eyes stand out can help them appear whiter. Using black mascara on both top and bottom lashes will make dramatic eyes, but they do not help your eyes look whiter. Instead, try brown mascara on your bottom lashes. This softer color will help draw the attention upwards to your top lashes, which will make your eyes appear wider, more alert and whiter. <img> Try a light-colored eyeliner. By using a light bone-colored or flesh-colored eyeliner, your eyes will attract and reflect light, which will help make it seem like your eyes are larger. Outline the inner corners of your eyes with the eyeliner to give the illusion of being brighter.\nApply a shimmering white or light-colored eye shadow in the inner corners of your eyes to attain a similar effect.\nTry to refrain from using a white eyeliner pencil to outline your eye, as this can be hard to blend in properly and may look too \"staged\" or artificial. <img> Use an eyelash curler. An eyelash curler, which is readily available at drug stores and grocery stores for about $5 to $6, will clamp your eyelashes and bend them upwards in a curl. Curling your lashes upward will make your eyes appear to be bigger and more open. They can also draw attention to your eyes by making your eyelashes appear longer. <img> Use a bit of pink blush. Apply pink blush to the apples of your cheeks, your lips, and across the highest point of your eyebrows. This will lighten and brighten your entire face, which will help make your eyes appear brighter and whiter. <img> "

How to Deal With Stubborn People | [
"pBWSIZb963BZ",
"Qf7QHbQeCRzZ",
"MCetGH0gtPsi"
] | [
"Start with a bit of flattery. One of the reasons that stubborn people are the way they are is because they hate to be wrong. They think that they know the best way to do everything, and therefore, they may be a bit sensitive when they are told that there are other ways to do things; they may view a difference in opinion as a personal attack even if you mean no harm. So, when you talk to stubborn people, try to make them feel good about themselves by offering them a bit of flattery first. Just make sure it's sincere and that it doesn't sound like you're just sucking up to get your way. Here are some ways you can start off:\n\"I know you've been working so hard lately. I'm so impressed by how you're able to keep your act together during such a stressful time.\"\n\"You always have such great ideas and I thought I'd throw one out for you.\"\n\"I'm so glad I got to see you today. I've missed hanging out with you.\" <img> Show that you value their opinions. Another thing you have to do to deal with stubborn people is to acknowledge their positions and show them that they really have a great idea. Don't make them think that their idea is completely stupid, invalid, or poorly thought-out (even if you feel that way), or their chances of listening to you will be approaching 0%. Make sure to repeat their argument and show that you do see the good in what the person is saying; that way, the person will see that you do value him or her as well as his or her ideas. This will make the person much more open to listening to you. Here are some things that you can say:\n\"I think going to get Italian is a great idea. I love the gnocchi at the Italian place, and they have such a great wine selection. However...\"\n\"I know we didn't have the greatest time hanging out with Sarah and Mike last time, and you're right about them being a little bit weird. But I really think we should give them another chance.\"\n\"Moving to San Francisco from Oakland would have a lot of benefits, just like you said. There would be more to do, we'd be living closer to the airport and we do travel a ton, and we'd be moving closer to our best friends. But having said that...\" <img> Don't tell them that they're wrong. The last thing that a stubborn person wants to hear is that he or she is flat-out wrong. Don't ever say, \"You're not looking at this correctly,\" or \"You just don't get it, do you?\" And definitely don't say, \"How could you be so wrong?\" This will alienate the person and make him or her shut down completely. Make it clear that he or she has some great ideas and that you have considered them carefully. They may be right for another time or situation, but right now, you'd like to do what you want to do. Make that very clear.\nSay things like, \"We both have such great ideas\" or \"There are a lot of ways to look at this situation\" to show that you think the person is \"equally\" right. <img> Show how the decision will benefit them. Stubborn people are often stubborn because they are very invested in themselves and how their decisions can help them feel even better and do what they want to do. So, if you want to stroke their egos a bit and make them think the decision is valid, you have to show how it can end up benefiting them, even if it may seem a little surprising. This will pique their interest and will make them much more likely to give in. Here are some things that you can say:\n\"I'd really love to check out the new sushi place down the street. Remember you said you were having a craving for fried ice cream? I heard they have an amazing a variety at that restaurant.\"\n\"Hanging out with Sarah and Mike should be fun, and what's more, I heard Mike has an extra ticket to the 49ers game and is looking for someone to go with him. I know you've been dying to go.\"\n\"If we stay in Oakland instead of moving to San Francisco, we'll be able to save on rent. We can use that extra money to go to Costa Rica this summer, just like you wanted to do.\" <img> Make them think they've come up with the idea on their own. This is another trick to convincing the stubborn person to do what you want. Make the person think that, in the course of your conversation, he or she had actually come up with the idea, or had introduced an important aspect of why the idea is such a good one. This will make the person feel proud of himself, and like he's still getting his own way. This can be a little tricky to pull off, but if you can do it right, you'll be amazed by how much better this will make the stubborn person feel. Here are some things you can say:\n\"That's a great idea! I forgot about how much I love plum wine. The sushi place will definitely have that.\"\n\"You're right -- we can meet up with Sarah and Mike this weekend. And you think Saturday night is the best time to do it, don't you?\"\n\"That's so true -- I would miss our little farmer's market way too much if we left Oakland.\" <img> ",
"Be firm. The reason that stubborn people often get their way is because the people around them often cave in and let them get exactly what they want. This can be for a number of reasons: you may think that the person will throw a fit or sulk if he doesn't get his way, you may not have the energy to resist, or you may even be convinced that the person must want whatever you're arguing about more badly than you do. But remind yourself that the person is using cheap tactics to get his way, and that you're entitled to have things go your way for once.\nIf the person starts to get emotional or visibly upset, slow down until the person feels more calm, but don't just say, \"Fine, fine, you can get your way, just stop crying\" -- this will show the person that he or she can manipulate your emotions and get you to give up what you want easily.\nBeing firm means sticking to your side of the story and offering a rational, logical argument for why your idea is important. It does not mean getting aggressive or yelling or name calling. Stubborn people are already defensive, and this kind of behavior will only make them feel more threatened. <img> Give them information. Stubborn people are also afraid of the unknown. They may not want to do something simply because they've never done it before or because they're not used to breaking their routine. The more you can tell them about the situation, the better they will feel about it. They'll see that the thing you're proposing isn't so scary because they can have a sense of what it will be like. Here are some things you can say:\n\"The new sushi place has a great deal on sashimi. It's a lot cheaper than the Italian place too. They also have an awesome big screen TV, and you can catch the end of the game while we eat.\"\n\"Sarah and Mike have the cutest little dog -- you'll love him. Mike is also really into craft beer and they have an awesome selection. They only live fifteen minutes away, so it won't be a trek, either.\"\n\"Did you know that rent in San Francisco is on average 100% higher than the rent in Oakland? How can we afford to live there?\" <img> Show them why it's important to you. If the stubborn person cares about you, then he or she will be persuaded just by hearing why the things you want would mean so much to you. This will help them see the situation on a human level, and they will see that it's about more than about being wrong or right, but about giving you what you really want and need. If you're in a relationship with this person, then helping them see why this would make you happy is a great move. Here are some things you can say:\n\"I've been craving sushi for weeks. Can we please go? I can always go with Maria, but that just won't be as fun as going with you.\"\n\"I'd really like to spend more time with Sarah and Mike. You know I've been lonely in our new neighborhood, and I'd love to have some more friends.\"\n\"I'd really love to live in Oakland for another year. Commuting to work is so easy for me, and I'd hate to have to wake up an hour earlier to get there.\" <img> Remind them that it's your turn. If you're used to dealing with this particular stubborn person, then chances are, you have given in again and again. It's time to put your foot down and remind the person of all of the things you have given up for him or her, whether it's big or small. You can do this without making them feel horrible, but you can really show them the big picture and let them see that it's time that you got what you wanted. Here are some things you can say:\n\"We've gone to the restaurant you've wanted to go to for the last five times we hung out. Can I pick, for once?\"\n\"We've hung out with your friends instead of mine for the last three weekends. Can we give my friends a chance this time?\"\n\"It was your idea to move to Oakland, remember? Well, now it's my idea to stay put.\" <img> Negotiate or compromise. You may not be able to get what you want completely, but you may be able to get the stubborn person to meet you halfway. Compromising or negotiating with the person can help you persuade him to do what you want to do without fully giving in. If the person is truly stubborn, then baby steps may be the way to go, and you won't be able to convince the person to follow your plan overnight. Here are some things you can say:\n\"Okay, we can go to the Italian place tonight. But that means we'll go to the sushi place tomorrow night, right?\"\n\"How about we meet Sarah and Mike for a drink instead of coming over to their place for dinner? We'll still hang out with them for a bit, but it won't take up our whole night.\"\n\"I'd be open to moving to Berkeley. It's more expensive than Oakland, but not as pricey as San Francisco, and there's always a lot going on there, too. <img> Stay calm. If you really want to deal with a stubborn person and even have a chance of getting your way, then you can't let your emotions get the best of you. If you start getting visibly upset or even angry, then the person will think that he won, because you can't keep yourself in check. Take deep breaths, slow down, or even leave the room for a few minutes if you see yourself getting heated. The stubborn person will be much more likely to listen to you if you look calm and collected, not angry or crazed.\nIt's easy to lose your cool when you're dealing with someone who is unwilling to do what you want or to change. But remind yourself that the more likely you are to have an outburst, the less likely the person will be to see your side of the story. <img> Don't say that they're being stubborn. The last thing a stubborn person wants to hear is that he is stubborn. Stubborn people are defensive, and, well, stubborn, and if you even say this word around them, then they will clam up and be even less likely to change. Don't say, \"Why do you have to be so stubborn!?\" or the person will stop listening to you. Resist the urge to say this word even if it's on the tip of your tongue. <img> Find common ground. Finding common ground with the person can help you persuade him to see things from your perspective. Stubborn people can feel a bit ganged up on and if you convince the person that you're both coming from the same place, then he or she will be much more likely to listen to you then if you have wildly different opinions. Here are some things you can say:\n\"I completely agree that we've been having productivity issues at the company. We definitely need to find a solution here. However, I do think that it has more to do with a lack of employee satisfaction than with the new projects we've been assigned.\"\n\"I agree that the people we've been hanging out with have all been a little weird or boring. But if we don't give new friends a chance, we'll never find people we really like, will we?\" <img> ",
"Ease them into change little by little. If you have to deal with a stubborn person in the long term, then you have to know that stubborn people don't like to dive head first into the unknown. They like to put their toes into the water and to slowly walk forward. So, if you want to convince a person close to you to try something different, then you have to get the person used to the idea little by little until the person is fully comfortable with the situation.\nFor example, if you have a slightly possessive friend who doesn't like the new friends you made from your art class, have the person meet the friends one on one for a short amount of time instead of throwing the person into your new friend group; this will make the person more likely to be excited about the new social situation.\nIf you're trying to convince your roommate to be more clean, then ask your roommate to do the dishes every other day. After that, you can talk about taking out the trash more often, vacuuming the carpet, and so on. <img> Pick your battles. This is key when dealing with stubborn people. You can get stubborn people to give in on some occasions, and with the right approach, you can even convince them to make some pretty big changes. However, if the person is truly stubborn, then it's unlikely that he or she will give in to your demands very often. So, if you have a hard time getting a stubborn person to do what you want, then you should only ask about the things you really care about.\nMaybe you don't really care about picking the movie on date night; but you may, however, care about where you go on your spring break trip. Save up for that. <img> Break the pattern of always giving in. A stubborn person may continue to get his or her way around you because you always end up giving in. If you never say no, then why would the person want to change for you? So, the next time you're negotiating something, even if it's as simple as what movie to see, say that you're going to go on your own or go home if you don't get your way. This will surprise the stubborn person so much that he or she will either give in or will start to think of you as a person who can't be easily manipulated.\nIf you don't give in easily, the stubborn person will actually respect you more and will be more likely to value your opinion. <img> Don't beg or sound desperate. This is not a good way to get the person to come around to your point of view, no matter how badly you want things to go your way. If you feel that you've exhausted all of your resources and options, then just walk away. There's no use in degrading yourself by begging and whining, and this will not only not work with a truly stubborn person, but it will be a little humiliating for you.\nIf you want to convince a stubborn person to do something, you have to take the rational approach. The emotional approach will only make the person even less likely to agree with you. <img> Be patient. It takes time to truly persuade a stubborn person, especially if you're trying to break a stubborn pattern of behavior. It won't happen overnight, and you have to remind yourself that you'll have to start with the small stuff (what to watch on TV) before you can to move to the bigger issues (where to move). Tell yourself that you can change the person little by little, but that you won't be able to make him or her someone completely new. <img> Maintain your confidence. Confidence is key when you're dealing with stubborn people. If you waver or show some doubt in your own ideas, then the person will respect you less and will be even less likely to listen to you. You have to act like your idea or perspective is the best idea ever (without being arrogant, of course), and the person will be more likely to think you know your stuff. Don't let the person intimidate you into backing down or saying that maybe your own idea isn't so great.\nKeep your head up, maintain eye contact, and don't let the person make you hunch over or look at the floor when you're talking. Maintaining a confident posture can go a long way in making your ideas sound confident.\nIf you're nervous about what you have to propose, practice it in advance. This will make you sound more confident about your ideas when the time comes. <img> Know when to give up. Unfortunately, you may try everything when you're dealing with the stubborn person and may get absolutely no results. If the stubborn person isn't budging an inch, listening to you at all, or willing to accept another perspective though you've tried providing more information, flattering him, being firm, and showing how much the decision would mean to you, then it may be time to walk away. If you can't do any good, then you may only be doing harm, and it's better to leave the situation if you know it's not going anywhere.\nIf you keep trying to make a stubborn person see your point of view to no avail at all, then you may end up being the stubborn one.\nGiving up on a stubborn person doesn't mean you're weak. It just means that you have been rational and know when there's nothing else that can be done. <img> "

How to Become a Warrant Officer | [
"XceUGqo8SMsE",
"c3UczS8IPhaQ",
"pBnlbKKIBZZQ"
] | [
"Learn about the career path. As a warrant officer, you're part of the technical foundation of the US army. Specializing in a particular area like aviation or military police, you would be responsible for training soldiers for missions and helping army personnel advance in their career specialties.\nAs a warrant officer, you spend your career developing a level of expertise in a certain field. This places you in a leadership role that will always have relevance in the army. There are many tangible benefits of the Army National Guard, such as a steady income, healthcare, life insurance, and retirement planning.\nThe career is good for longterm stability and income. However, as you'll need to have up-to-date information regarding technical aspects of army training, there will be continual training throughout your career. You may have to spend time away from your home or family at training sessions. <img> Get in physical shape. In order to become a warrant officer, you'll first need to join the Army National Guard. Enlisting in the army means you'll need to be in top physical shape. There are a number of fitness exams you'll need to pass during your initial army training and later on when applying to become a warrant officer.\nJoin in a gym and work on both cardiovascular fitness and weight lifting. You'll need to have both stamina as well as basic strength to become a member of an army.\nConsider hiring a personal trainer or talking to your doctor before starting a fitness program. If you are currently sedentary or otherwise out of shape, you'll need to start working out gradually and build your strength. A doctor or trainer can take stock of your current physical health and provide workout recommendations and fitness goals for you. <img> Join the Army. In order to become a warrant officer, you will first need to serve in the Army. The necessary length of your service varies based on what Military Occupation Speciality you go into when you apply to become a warrant officer.\nYou can enlist in the Army when you reach 17 years old. You must be between 17 and 35 years-old to enlist. Education wise, you should be at least a junior in high school or have a GED.\nYou must be a U.S citizen or permanent resident.\nYou must meet the moral, physical, and medical requirements. You can review the National Guard's website for further details of physical and medical requirements. A height/weight chart is provided online to gauge whether you would qualify. You may have to gain or lose weight to meet requirements. A medical exam is usually conducted sometime during the application process to make sure you don't have any medical problems that would disqualify you for service. <img> Complete basic training. Once you've enlisted in the Army, you'll undergo an intensive 10-week basic training program. Make sure to prepare physically and emotionally for the commitment.\nTo prepare for basic training, know what you are and are not allowed to bring to training. There is a Basic Training Essential checklist on the Army website that keeps up-to-date information regarding the necessary supplies. Make sure you inform your school or employer that you will be away and get any necessary leaves of absences. Any unresolved legal or financial issues should be resolved before you leave for training.\nDuring basic training, you'll be trained in all the necessary skills for combat. Training is physically and emotionally demanding, but by the end of training you will be well prepared for an army related career. At the end of training, you'll be required to pass the Army Physical Fitness Test.\nOnce you complete basic training, you will receive advanced individualized training. The duration and details of this training depend on what area of military operations you choose as a specialization. <img> ",
"Learn the basic requirements. As you begin your service in the Army National Guard, familiarize yourself with the basic requirements needed to become a warrant officer. In addition to passing the Army Physical Fitness test in basic training, there are other requirements necessary if you want to become a warrant officer.\nThe education requirements are the same for the Army National Guard. No additional education is needed beyond high school. However, as becoming a warrant officer requires a great deal of technical skill a degree in an engineering field related to your specialization could help. For example, if you want to become a flight warrant officer consider a bachelor's degree in something like aviation technology.\nYou must be between 18 and 33 at the time you apply. You must also be a US citizen.\nYou must have at least 12 months remaining on your enlistment contract to apply.\nYou will once again have to complete a physical exam to assure you meet all medical and physical requirements. <img> Score high on the necessary tests. There are a number of standardized issued by the Army National Guard to assess your level of expertise in a variety of areas. Depending on the specialization you're going into, you'll need to score high on these tests.\nRegardless of specialization, all warrant officers need a score of at least 110 on the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) exam. Waivers may be available for this exam if you have a long history of service.\nIf you're aiming to become a Flight Warrant Officer, you will have to take the Selection Instrument for Flight Training (SIFT) test. Qualify scores change with time, so consult the Army National Guard website for information about what score you should aim for. You cannot retake the SIFT test and scores indefinitely valid. No waivers are available for this exam. <img> Decide on a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). As your precise career path and training is dependent on your military occupation specialty, you must decide what area you want to specialize in before applying. Choose an MOS for which you are qualified and that you have an active interest in.\nThe most common MOS is for a 153A aviator position. This requires no prior skill or training. However, you do have to have at least 20/50 distance vision that is correctable to 20/20 with glasses or contacts.\nAll other specializations require 4 to 6 years of experience in a field that's highly related to your specialization. You can browse all specializations and their specific requirements on the Army National Guard website. <img> Start your application. You can download the warrant officer application guide on the Army National Guard website. This extensive document provides an overview of all necessary forms, information, and other components of your application and walks you through the process. It also provides details on the training you can expect to receive if your application is accepted. <img> Submit the application to your commanding officer. Applicants must meet the specific experience and education requirements for their chosen specialty to receive consideration. How long it takes to hear back on an application varies depending on the specialization you chose. <img> ",
"Complete Warrant Officer Candidate School. If your application is accepted, you will have to attend Warrant Officer Candidate school. This is a seven week course, similar in its intensity to basic training, where you learn the necessary technical and physical skills required to become a warrant officer. You will be stationed in Alabama during training. Training is a combination of experiential and classroom learning. <img> Complete any necessary MOS training. Depending on your speciality, you will need further training after the initial seven weeks. The type and duration of training varies based on your MOS. For more specific information, consult the Army National Guard website. <img> Keep up to date throughout your career. As a warrant officer, you'll need to be a technical expert in your field. Make sure you continue your education as required by the Army National Guard. Additional training and schooling will be necessary throughout your career as the army changes and adapts. <img> "

How to Check Water Temperature Without a Thermometer | [

"Hold your hand near the water. If you want to form a very rough idea of whether water is cold, lukewarm, or hot, first hold your hand above the water. If you feel heat radiate off of the water, it is hot and may burn you. If you feel no heat, the water will either be room-temperature or cold.\nDo not stick your hand directly into water—either in a kitchen or in nature—without first holding your hand above it to gauge the temperature. <img> Dip your elbow in the water. If the water container is large enough, dip one of your elbows into the water. This will give you a rough idea of the water’s temperature. You’ll be able to instantly tell if the water is hot or cold.\nAvoid putting your hand into water of an unknown temperature, as you could scald yourself. <img> Gauge the water temperature. If you leave your elbow in the water or 5–10 seconds, you’ll be able to form a rough idea of the water’s temperature. If the water feels slightly warm, but not hot, it’s around 100 °F (38 °C). <img> ",
"Look for condensation on the water container. If your water is in a glass or metal container (such as a thermos or a saucepan) and you notice condensation beginning to form, you’ll know that the water is colder than the surrounding air.\nRoughly speaking, condensation will form more rapidly when the water is much colder than the air temperature.\nIf you notice that condensation forms on the outside of a glass in 2 or 3 minutes, the water you’re dealing with is very cold. <img> Note if ice begins to form. If the water in question is very cold and beginning to freeze, you’ll notice that a small layer of ice has begun to form around the edges. Water that is beginning to freeze will be very near 32 °F (0 °C), although it may still be a couple of degrees warmer, in the range of 33 to 35 °F (1 to 2 °C).\nIf you’re looking at a bowl of water in your freezer, for example, you’ll notice small pieces of ice starting to form where the water meets the side of the bowl. <img> Check if the water is frozen. This is an easy step that you can complete with a single glance. If the water is frozen (solid ice), its temperature is at or below 32 °F (0 °C). <img> ",
"Look for small bubbles as water begins to heat. If you’d like to have a reasonably precise idea of water’s temperature as it heats, watch the small bubbles that form on the bottom of the pan or pot. Very small bubbles indicate that the water is roughly 160 °F (71 °C).\nBubbles at this low temperature are said to look like “shrimp eyes”—about the size of the head of a pin. <img> Watch for medium-sized bubbles. As the water continues to heat, the bubbles on the bottom will grow until they’re slightly larger than the “shrimp eye” size. This is a good indication that your heating water is nearing 175 °F (79 °C).\nSlight wisps of steam will also start to rise from the heating water as it reaches 175 °F (79 °C).\nBubbles of this size are known as “crab eyes.” <img> Watch for larger, rising bubbles. The bubbles on the pot’s bottom will continue to grow in size, and eventually start rising to the top of the water. At this point, your water will be about 185 °F (85 °C). You can also tell when the water reaches 185 °F (85 °C) because you’ll be able to hear a slight rattling sound from the bottom of the pot.\nThe first bubbles that begin to rise to the surface are about the size of “fish eyes.” <img> Look for the “string of pearls” phase. This is the final stage of heating water before it begins to fully boil. Larger bubbles from the bottom of the pot will begin to quickly rise to the surface, forming several continuous chains of rising bubbles. Water at this stage will be between 195 to 205 °F (91 to 96 °C).\nSoon after the “string of pearls” phase, the water will reach 212 °F (100 °C) and come to a rolling boil. <img> "

How to Get Rid of Calluses on Feet | [

] | [
"Soak your feet on a regular basis. If you have calluses, try soaking your feet on a regular basis to soften the dry and dead skin. Softening the skin with a warm water and mild soap foot bath will make removing that skin much easier.\nUse warm water instead of hot water. Hot water can dry out your skin and irritate your feet.\nIf you have diabetes, the you should wash your feet every day. Use lukewarm water with a mild soap and dry your feet well. Then, moisturize you feet with some lotion, petroleum jelly, or baby oil. <img> Remove your calluses with a pumice stone or foot file. After you’ve soaked your feet, or had a shower or bath, use a pumice stone, foot file or emery board to remove excess dead skin from your calluses.\nPumice stones and foot files work better if you wet them in warm water before using them.\nIf you do not have a pumice stone, foot file or emery board, you can also use a wash cloth to scrub away the dead skin.\nAfter you’ve scrubbed your feet, apply moisturizer to your feet to lock in the moisture and keep the skin on your feet soft and pliable.\nIf you have diabetes, make sure that you ask your doctor before using a pumice stone to remove calluses. <img> Protect certain parts of your feet. Calluses (and corns) develop on areas of your feet that rub against your shoes and socks when you’re walking. You might find you have some shoes that are worse than others in this regard. Your first choice should be to wear shoes that fit properly so they do not cause calluses or corns, but as an alternative you can use over-the-counter unmedicated pads to protect your feet.\nThese pads come in various sizes and shapes for different parts of your feet, but they also come in larger-sized squares that can be cut to size for whatever area you want.\nSome of these pads come in a medicated version, however you should avoid the medicated versions unless directed to use them by a doctor. <img> Make an appointment to see your doctor. If you have calluses or corns that have become extremely painful or swollen, you should consider making an appointment to see your doctor to discuss the best course of action.\nA doctor has the proper facilities and equipment to potentially cut off the excess skin from a callus or corn. This should never be done at home.\nA doctor may also suggest or prescribe an antibiotic ointment (like Polysporin) to use on a corn or callus if it has become infected, or there is the possibility it will become infected. <img> Use callus-removing medication. There are several medicinal options to help with calluses that your doctor may suggest.\nSmall patches that contain a 40% salicylic acid solution can be used directly on a callus or corn to help soften the skin for easier removal. These patches can be purchased over-the-counter at a drug store under several brand names. If you doctor does not provide instructions on when and how often to use these patches, follow the instructions on the package.\nPrescription-strength salicylic acid gel is also available for areas larger than a patch can cover.\nYou should only use salicylic acid with a doctor’s guidance. Because it is an acid, it does have the ability to burn and irritate your skin, which in turn can lead to an infection. Your doctor will instruct you on which products to use, how often to use them, and how much to use each time. <img> Obtain custom-made shoe inserts. One reason you may have calluses is due to a foot deformity. The deformity could be quite minor, but it could be enough to cause excess rubbing of certain parts of your feet against the insides of your shoes. Obtaining custom-made shoe inserts or orthotics could help fix the deformity and reduce your chances of getting a callus. <img> ",
"Select the proper shoes. Buying and wearing the proper shoes will go a long way to help prevent calluses from forming on your feet. There are several things you can be on the lookout for when shopping for new shoes, including:\nMake sure the salesperson measures both of your feet. Chances are, like most people, you have one foot that is larger than the other. You’ll want to select a shoe size that fits the larger of your two feet.\nLeave shopping for shoes till as late as possible. Throughout the day your feet swell and you want to size your shoes based on your swollen feet. This ensures that your shoes are large enough to accommodate your swollen feet and won’t become uncomfortable as the day goes on.\nBuy shoes based on how they actually feel on your feet, even if the size on the shoe doesn’t make sense.\nWhile it may seem obvious, buy shoes that are shaped like feet. Many ‘stylish’ shoes come in odd shapes which can end up hurting your feet and causing calluses.\nWhen trying on new shoes, make sure your whole foot feels comfortable inside the shoe — from the tips of your toes, to the balls of your feet, to your heel.\nLeave approximately ⅜” to ½\" of space at the tip of the shoe between the end of your big toe and the start of the shoes. <img> Keep your feet dry. Socks can be just as important as shoes in keeping your feet callus-free and healthy. Cotton socks, or socks made of a natural fiber, are the best type for keeping your feet dry inside of your shoes. This is especially important when you’re doing any type of physical activity where you’ll sweat more than usual.\nMake sure to allow your shoes to dry out before wearing them again — don’t put on wet footwear.\nAvoid wearing the same socks two days in a row if you can, especially if they get wet or sweaty.\nIf you socks do get wet, change them as soon as possible.\nRemember to wash your feet every day as part of your regular cleaning routine, including between your toes. Plus, after you’ve washed your feet, make sure they’re completely dry before putting socks on.\nAlso consider wearing flip-flops or sandals when walking around a public swimming pool and even inside a public shower. <img> Moisturize your feet every day. Calluses form because of spots on your feet that rub against your socks and shoes. But you can help prevent and heal calluses by moisturizing your feet every day and keeping the skin nice and soft. Keeping your feet moisturized and soft is even more important in the winter time when the air is colder, and therefore drier.\nDon’t apply moisturizer and then attempt to walk around in your bare feet, this can be dangerous!\nGet into the habit of applying moisturizer to your feet right before you go to bed.\nTake the opportunity to give your feet a massage when applying the moisturizer. This feels great, but also increases blood circulation in your feet.\nIf possible, buy and use only moisturizer designed for feet on your feet. <img> Work to avoid and remove corns. Corns are calluses, but they’re calluses that form on your toes instead of other parts of your feet. Corns are usually caused by the tips of your shoes rubbing against your toes. And this in turn can be caused by shoes that are too small in the toe area, or by high heels that are forcing your feet downwards due to gravity.\nRemoving and preventing corns can be accomplished using the same methods as you would for calluses, but make an appointment to see your doctor if they get really severe and painful. <img> Put your feet up. Resting your feet on a regular basis is also very important. Your feet need a break from the stress just like any other part of your body. Plus, if you tend to sit with your legs crossed, change the leg that’s on top every now and again to improve circulation. <img> ",
"Soak your feet in lemon juice. The acid in lemon juice can be very helpful with softening and removing calluses. Soak your feet in lemon juice for about 10 minutes before scrubbing your feet with a pumice stone or foot file.\nWhile foot razors or shavers can be purchased at drug stores and pharmacies, they are not a good idea to use. They can easily cut your feet, and these cuts can easily become infected. <img> Make your own cracked-heel cream. Your heels tend to be one of the places that build up a lot of calluses. You can help keep your heels, and the rest of your feet, soft and moisturized by making your own cracked-heel cream at home. All you need to do is put a spoonful of olive oil in a small bottle and add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil. Shake the bottle until the liquid turns thick and milky and then apply it to your feet, specifically your heels.\nYou can make this cream and store it for future use as long as you remember to shake the bottle before you use it. <img> Oil your feet before bed. The best time to moisturizer your feet is right before bed. And you can moisturize your feet with more than just store-bought moisturizer — you can also use vegetable oil. Simply apply a layer of vegetable oil to your feet before bed and then put on a pair of thick socks. Leave the socks on all night while you sleep and then wipe off any excess oil in the morning.\nVegetable oil (and other oils) can stain fabrics, including your socks and sheets. The best socks to use in this situation are wool socks, as the wool absorbs the oil and doesn’t stain. If you can’t use wool socks (or if they’re too hot) use a pair of old socks instead. <img> Create your own overnight foot mask. Your face, hands and hair can benefit from masks — so can your feet! It’s easy to make your own at home using 1 tablespoon of Vaseline (or another similar product) and the juice from 1 lemon. Mix the Vaseline and lemon juice together in a bowl and apply the mixture to your clean feet before bed. Wear a pair of socks on your feet all night and wipe off the excess Vaseline with a towel in the morning.\nDedicate a pair of old socks to this process so you don’t have to worry about the Vaseline staining them, or your sheets. <img> Try paraffin wax to moisturize your feet. Aestheticians often use paraffin wax as part of a spa pedicure, but you can also use paraffin wax at home. Simply melt the wax in a large bowl in the microwave and add an equal amount of mustard oil after the wax is melted. (The mustard oil is what moisturizes your feet.) Dip each of your feet in the bowl of wax (once it’s cool enough) twice, waiting enough time between dips to make sure the wax has dried on your feet. Then wrap your feet in plastic wrap or a plastic bag for 15 minutes. Remove the plastic and the wax at the same time. <img> "

"This simple move draws his attention to your curves or toned tummy. This is one of the easiest dances you can do, but he still might be impressed by the way you move. Shift your weight onto your right leg and push your right hip forward. On the next beat, move your left hip forward and let your right side fall back. Just keep repeating these 2 moves along to the rhythm to get his attention.\nYou can do anything with your arms during this move. You could keep your hands on your hips to draw more attention to the motion, or you could swing them back and forth up by your chest. <img> ",
"Step and sway with this foundational move so he sees you have rhythm. Always follow the beat of the song when you two-step, or else you may look a little uncoordinated. Step out to the side with your right foot and plant it on the ground. Then, step with your left foot so it’s next to your right. After that, take a wide step out to the left side to repeat the dance in the other direction.\nTry going a little faster by stepping down twice with one foot before bringing your feet together. For example, you’d step out with your right foot, lift it off the ground slightly, then firmly plant it on the floor the next beat.\nYou can also do the 4-corner two-step. Instead of stepping to the side, step forward with both feet and keep them shoulder-width apart. Then, step backward.\nA lot of other dance moves build off of the two-step, so it’s great to learn if you want to work up to more advanced techniques. <img> ",
"He’ll notice your body from head to toe as you flow to the beat. Start by planting one foot on the floor a few feet in front of the other so you have good balance. Tilt your head so your chin points up. Hinge at the hips so you lean back and push your chest up toward the sky. With your hips forward, push your hips back to shift your weight onto your back heel to finish your body roll.\nIt might be easier for you to get the motion down if you press down on the ground with your front foot and push the rest of your body away.\nIt’ll take a little practice to make your body rolls look smooth, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t flow very well right at the start. <img> ",
"He’s bound to stop and stare once you start shaking your booty. If you really want to get the guy’s attention, try turning your back to him before twerking. If you want an easy variation, keep your weight on the balls of your feet and lift your heels off the ground. Quickly twist your body and feet to the right side and immediately switch back to the left side. Keep going back and forth to the beat to get your booty moving.\nFor a little more advanced technique, stand with your feet wider than your shoulders. Push your chest forward and arch your back so your booty sticks out. Start to bend your knees and bring your chest and booty back in toward the center of your body. Once your knees are bent to 90 degrees, pop your chest and booty back out.\nStay loose while you’re twerking so you don’t look too tense. <img> ",
"Show off your coordination with this fun and advanced technique. He’s sure to be impressed by the way you move your body to the rhythm. Start with a basic two-step from side to side along with the rhythm. When you step to the left side, take your right arm and pretend you’re swinging a heavy backpack over your shoulder to rock your body to the side. When you step to the right, use your left arm instead.\nKeep your hips and shoulders loose so you look really fluid while you’re dancing.\nTry to run your fingers through your hair whenever you bring your arms forward for an even sexier look. <img> ",
"Groove with your whole body to show you know how to let loose. To the beat of the music, make a small hop to the right side and lean into it slightly. As soon as you land, bring your left arm up and swing it out in front of you. Once you reach fully out, snap your fingers. On the next beat, jump to the left side and swing your right arm instead.\nFeel free to do whatever you want with your arms. Make the dance your own by putting a little bit of your personality into it. <img> ",
"Relax if you feel tense so you don’t look as stiff. Bend your knees a little bit and bounce along the music to move around a little bit. Bob your head to the beat and shake out your arms to loosen them up. Listen to the music and just sway back and forth with the tempo so it doesn’t seem as awkward.\nConnect with the music and stay in the moment. That will help you stay relaxed so you'll look more natural while you're dancing.\nDancing is all about having fun, so if you’re having a good time, the guy you’re after is bound to notice. <img> ",
"Playing with your hair is a classic way to flirt with a guy. When you’re eyeing the guy from across the dance floor, tilt your head back briefly and run your fingers through your hair. Slowly and playfully run your hand down the side of your face and neck before meeting his gaze again so he doesn’t question that you’re into him.\nTry flipping your hair as you’re doing your dance moves. For example, flip your hair to the beat when you pop your hips out during a figure-8 or two-step. <img> ",
"Match his gaze so you can form a connection. While you’re out on the floor, take a peek at the guy to see if he’s checking you out. If he looks in your direction, stare back into his eyes and smile. It might feel a little uncomfortable holding his eye contact at first, but it shows that you’re enjoying yourself and want him to know it.\nKeep dancing while you’re staring at the guy. Knowing that he’s the focus of your attention will make him more interested in you. <img> ",
"A quick wink shows him that you want to have a good time. Catch the guy’s gaze and start with a little unbroken eye contact so he knows you’re interested. If you want to be more friendly and flirty, wink really fast and smile before turning away from him. To really make him chase after you, roll your shoulder toward him and wink slowly. <img> ",
"This sexy trick makes him wish he was the one touching you. Any time you want to turn up the heat in your dance routine, put your hands flat on your thighs and move them down your legs. Bend down and stick out your booty and you reach down towards your feet. As you stand back up, run your hands back up to your hips.\nYou can also do this to show off your booty. Start with your hands on the side of your hips and run your fingers down the backs of your legs. When you stand back up, move your hands up and over your bum to draw his attention there.\nTry licking your lips as you’re dancing too since it could be a big turn on for him. <img> ",
"A little physical contact lets him know you want to get closer. If you’re near the guy you’re trying to impress, get a little closer to him. Casually brush your arm against his as you’re dancing or bump him lightly with your hips so he gets that you’re trying to get his attention.\nIf the guy pulls away from you repeatedly, he might not feel comfortable with you touching him. Respect his space so you don’t upset him even more. <img> ",
"Mirroring the guy shows him that you’re interested in him. When the guy you’re chasing gets on the dance floor, pay attention to how he’s moving his body. Try to match his rhythm and moves so you’re doing the same thing. If he notices that you’re copying how he moves, he’ll realize you want to dance with him.\nThis works really well if you’re dancing close to each other since it might be hard to notice from across the room. <img> ",
"Make it clear you want to dance with him by taking the initiative. If you feel like you really need to dance with this guy, don’t wait around for him to make the first move. Go up to him and offer him your hand. If he takes it, gently pull him to a different part of the dance floor so he gets the idea. You may just impress him by acting so confident.\nThis also works great to break the touch barrier and make some more physical contact with him. <img> "

How to Get Into a Fighting Stance | [

"Position your feet properly. Think of your feet as the roots that keep your body in place. If you have a solid, well-balanced stance, you will be much harder to knock over. First, extend your non-dominant foot towards your opponent. Rotate your leg slightly towards your body so that your toes and knee point just to the side of your opponent. Extend your dominant foot behind you, about a shoulders-width apart from your dominant foot. Rotate your dominant leg so that your toes and knee are pointing away from your opponent. \nYour dominant leg shouldn’t be at a right angle to your dominant foot. Turn your leg in towards your body slightly if you find yourself doing this.\nStay on the balls of your feet. If you stand flatfooted you might be slower than your opponent. <img> Position your torso correctly. Your feet are pointing to the side of your opponent; therefore, you will have to twist your shoulders slightly to face them. Keeping your body positioned at this angle gives your opponents a much smaller target to hit. Make sure to keep your stomach muscles tight and your back straight. Otherwise, you may be overbalanced easily. Once you’re in position, bend your knees slightly and rock your weight back and forth to test your balance.\nKeeping your stomach muscles clenched improves your balance but it also protects your stomach if you get hit. Getting hit in a relaxed stomach is painful! <img> Position your arms for defense. The placement of your arms is extremely important. They are your first line of defense and protect your face and body from attacks. Curl your hands into loose fists and raise them in front of your face. Your dominant arm should be close to your body while your non-dominant arm should be slightly in front of your body. Extend your non-dominant arm forward but not so far forward that you exhaust your shoulder.\nKeep your elbows close to your body, but not so close that they touch your sides. In fact, if you flare out your elbows just an inch or two this will discourage your opponent from kicking. <img> Position your head defensively. Keep your chin down and your mouth closed. By keeping your chin down you make the delicate bones around your eyes and nose a harder target to hit. Similarly, a hard punch to an open mouth can lead to severe jaw and teeth injuries. Therefore, keep your mouth closed even if your opponent is yelling insults at you. Make sure your fists are hovering near your face to protect yourself from attacks.\nStaying quiet in the face of insults has an added benefit. Confident people don’t feel the need to jeer at their opponents so staying quiet will make you appear more confident. This may spook your opponent and end the fight. <img> ",
"Identify a potential attacker. A person who is considering violence will usually grit their teeth and clench their fists. If they have any training, they may move a foot forward or turn their body to the side. They may also drop their chin as this is a natural reaction to protect one’s throat. Keep your guard up and be wary of warning signs. If you notice any of these signs, be ready to position yourself in a fighting stance.\nAlways try to diffuse a bad situation with words before resorting to violence. Similarly, never initiate the fight; you should only engage in violence when you’re defending yourself or someone else.\nIf you’ve practiced getting into a fighting stance you will find it easy to do when you’re in a stressful situation. Practice as often as you can! <img> Keep moving. Stay up on the balls of your feet and move back-and-forth and side-to-side. By moving around, you'll be able to stay alert and ready to fight. Keep your arms stiff and your knees slightly bent as you move around.\nMove randomly. If you move with rhythm your opponent can time their attacks to your movements.\nMake sure you're not moving around too much, as that can tire you out. Your movements should only be a few inches at a time. <img> Maintain your confidence. Stay balanced, keep your stomach tight, and look your opponent in the eye. Make sure your back is straight and your shoulders are back. This pose suggests self-awareness and confidence. If your opponent thinks you’re unafraid, they may back down. Even if they don’t, your attitude will shake their own confidence and cause them to make mistakes when fighting.\nIf someone tries to leave a fight, let them. However, don’t turn your back on a defeated opponent as they may choose to attack when you’re not looking. <img> Defend yourself from attacks. Block your opponent’s punches using your hands. Keep your arms in the fighting position and loosely cup your hands at eye-level. When your opponent strikes out, quickly hit his arm away with one of your cupped hands. This action will unbalance your opponent and use their own strength against them. If you’re stance is well balanced, you won’t need a large amount of strength to do this.\nIf someone lands a punch on your head try to move towards the punch and clench your jaw. Make your forehead the biggest target. Your forehead is a very hard surface and your attacker may injure their hand.\nIf someone lands a punch on your body make sure to tighten your stomach muscles. Move your body so that the punch lands on your sides instead of your stomach. <img> Throw punches properly. Extend your arm in front of your body. Make sure your wrist is straight and your thumb is on the outside of your fist. If not, you may injure your wrist or break your thumb. While extending your arm, twist your body into the punch. When you punch with your non-dominant arm you will pivot with your non-dominant leg, and vice versa. Aim for a spot just beyond the place you’re trying to hit to ensure that you give the punch the maximum force.\nIf you don’t use your whole body to punch, your hit won’t have very much force. Make sure your shoulders are moving into the punch with the rest of your body. <img> ",
"Practice shadowboxing. Shadowboxing is a term for practicing without an opponent. This exercise can increase your speed and improve your form. To shadowbox properly, imagine your opponent standing in front of you. Next, imagine the different types of attacks they may use on you. React to these attacks with the same speed and force you would use on a real opponent.\nBegin your workout from a fighting stance. Everything you do needs to start from that position.\nOnce you get good at shadowboxing increase your workout by shadowboxing while holding weights. This will improve your arm strength and speed. <img> Watch good fighters fight. If you have a favorite fighter watch their movements during their fights. Take notes on what they do and try to mirror your actions to theirs. Record the fights so you can watch them over and over. After a few viewings, stand up while you watch and try to mimic their movements as they move.\nMake sure you’re watching the right kind of martial arts tournament for your goals. For example, wrestling is a great form of fighting but isn’t necessarily helpful for beginners trying to learn self-defense.\nPay attention to the different fighting stances that professional fighters use. If you notice something useful, incorporate it into your own fighting stance. <img> Join a self-defense gym. There are many kinds of self-defense classes that you can take. For example, you could take a martial arts class such as Karate or Taekwondo. All martial art forms have different fighting stances. For example, the most popular Taekwondo fighting stance involves holding your open hands in front of your face to protect your head. However, all of these fighting stances have something in common: positioning your feet slightly apart and centering your body for strength and balance.\nIf you’re not interested in the strict tenants of a martial arts class consider taking a less structured course such as kickboxing or boxing. These courses are great ways to learn powerful self-defense techniques quickly. <img> "

"Practice gratitude for everything you have. Instead of thinking of all of the negative things you’re dealing with right now, try to think about the positives. Focus on what you do have going for you rather than what you don’t.\nFor instance, if you’re struggling with finances right now, you can practice gratitude by thinking about some of the things that you do have, such as a place to live and a tasty meal to eat.\nYou can be grateful for anything you have, whether it’s tangible or intangible. For example, if you have a loving partner or a great friend to support you, that’s a great thing!\nIf it helps, try making a list of everything that you’re grateful for.\nEven if you’re dealing with something really difficult, like the death of a close friend or loved one, you can find gratitude in the happy memories you have of them. <img> ",
"Think about the positive things that can come as a result. When you’re dealing with a lot of difficult or stressful things at once, it can be easy to fall into the trap of seeing yourself as a victim of circumstance. Instead, think about what got you into the situation and why things are tough right now. Try to think about the potential positive things that can happen and what you can do to try to improve your situation.\nAsking questions can help you get to the root of the problem. For instance, if you’re failing a class, you can ask yourself why you’re struggling and what steps you can take to turn things around.\nIf you were laid off or fired from your job, for example, don’t think about it as something you’ll never recover from. Instead, consider all of the new possibilities open to you and the new potential jobs you could try to get. <img> ",
"Don’t worry about the things you can’t. It can feel like the world is piling on top of you during tough times, but it’s important that you keep your perspective focused on what’s important. Even if there are a ton of things going on right now, you can’t solve all of the world’s problems. Think about the actions you can take and what you can actually do about your situation.\nFor example, if you’re unemployed and you’re struggling to find a job, focus on things you can do, such as spending time searching for available jobs, sending resumes, and filling out applications, instead of worrying about when you’ll get a response or stressing about the jobs you didn’t get.\nIf you’re struggling with a health problem such as obesity, you could try asking questions like, “What can I do to improve my health?” and come up with solutions such as, “I can make sure I have some veggies with each meal and take a walk at least once a day.” <img> ",
"Remember that things will eventually get better. When you’re feeling especially down, focus on times in the past where things were tough and then got better. Remember that you’ve gotten through hard times before and you can do it again. You’ll get through this and you’ll be stronger because of it.\nIt can feel difficult to see past your current situation, but if you look to the past, you can see proof that you can make it through this.\nFor instance, if you’re dealing with a serious injury or illness right now, think about medical issues you’ve had in the past that you were able to overcome. Even if it takes some time, you can make it through this. <img> ",
"Surround yourself with people who can uplift you. It’s human nature to respond and react to the people around us. So if you have negative people around you, you’re going to feel negative, which is especially bad if you’re going through some hard times. Try to find people who have a positive outlook on life and spend time with them. It may boost your mood and help you better deal with your circumstances.\nTry to avoid spending time with people who fuel negative emotions and make you feel even more stressed out. <img> ",
"Your hobbies and interests can keep your spirits up. Just because times are tough doesn’t mean you should put aside or ignore the things that make you happy. Continue to make time for you to pursue any hobbies or passions that you have, which can help you cope with the stress of difficult times.\nFor instance, if you love to draw, play music, play sports, or spend time in nature, don’t put your interests on pause when you’re struggling. They’re still important and they’ll help you manage your stress.\nYou can also pick up a new hobby or try out something you’ve always wanted to do. For instance, if you’ve wanted to try yoga or get into knitting, set aside some time each day to try it out! <img> ",
"Give your mind a break from your phone, computer, and TV. If you’re dealing with hard times, seeing negative news stories and other people’s fake personas on social media can make you feel worse. Try going for a walk or grabbing a coffee with a friend. You could also read a good book or spend some time doing a hobby you enjoy. Take a break from the news, social media, and any apps that take up your time. It can really work wonders for your mental health.\nMany people on social media present the best or exaggerated versions of themselves. It’s not healthy to compare yourself to them and it can really take a toll on your mental health. Give yourself a break and take some time off from social media if it makes you feel bad about yourself. <img> ",
"Relax your mind so you can see things more clearly. When you’re stressed out or struggling with something, it’s easy to feel mentally overwhelmed. Mediation can help you see things more clearly, which may help you come up with solutions to any problems you’re having. Try some simple breathing meditation by closing your eyes and taking slow and deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling out of your mouth.\n\nBreathing meditation will make you feel calmer and more relaxed, which is also great if you’re super stressed out. <img> ",
"Volunteer your time or make a donation. It may seem difficult to find the motivation to help others while you’re dealing with hard times yourself, but research suggests that people who volunteer their time tend to be happier than people who don’t. Try doing something to help your community. Look for community or volunteer groups in your area that you can join to give something back. You may find it helps keep you feeling more positive about yourself and your situation.\nFor instance, you could spend time helping out at your local food bank or homeless shelter. It doesn’t cost you anything and you can make a genuine contribution.\nIf you do have the financial means, donating to a charity or a cause that you believe in can help support them and make you feel better about yourself and your circumstances. <img> ",
"It can be physical, mental, or emotional support. Reach out to a friend or coworker to help you with some of your tasks if you’re overextended. If you aren’t sure what to do about a tough situation, try asking someone you trust and respect for advice. Don’t be embarrassed to cry out or share your frustrations with a friend or family member, either. You don’t have to bottle up your emotions and deal with everything on your own. There are people who love and care about you and who may be able to help.\nFor instance, if you just lost a loved one and you suddenly find yourself struggling to deal with it, don’t keep it to yourself. Call or visit a close friend or family member and tell them how you’re feeling, even if you just need to vent or cry it out. <img> "

How to Make a Teepee | [
"JqARMTxDU1hw",
"zkss6y9JXxuU",
"ydW9BqgLtI4D"
] | [
"Get some canvas. Traditionally, teepees were made from tanned buffalo or deer hides, which were water resistant and pliable. Since buffalo skin is relatively difficult to acquire nowadays, most modern teepees are made using canvas. Smaller teepees are difficult to manage fires in, so if you're going to build one, you might as well build one of significant size.\nFor a comfortably-sized teepee, you'll want a piece of canvas roughly 15 x 30 feet. <img> Prepare some lodge poles. The two basic requirements for the teepee are some kind of covering (the canvas) and poles, about three feet longer than the width of the covering canvas. You'll need about twelve of them for a really solid teepee. The smoother the better, they're ideally several inches thick and made from lodge pole pine.\nThe easiest way to acquire these poles is to buy them commercially. Felling wood is also an option, but you need to make sure that you're harvesting legal wood, which can be a tricky proposition. To be safe, buy them from a dealer to ensure that they're sturdy and legal.\nTo prepare the poles for use, smooth out any rough patches with a pocketknife and sandpaper, and treat it with a coat of a 50/50 mixture of linseed oil and turpentine. This will ensure that your poles will be protected against the elements and will last for many years. <img> Cut the teepee pattern from the canvas. If you don't have a pre-cut canvas made for a teepee, you'll need to cut your own from the canvas. Tracing a pattern onto the canvas first is the best idea, but the basic cut is a semi-circle half as wide as it is long, with notches cut toward each end on the flat side of the semi-circle, and with flaps cut from the middle of the flat side, for use as \"smoke flaps,\" and a hole for the door. You'll also need to save enough canvas for covering up the door hole when you're inside. <img> Get 45 feet (13.7 m) of manila or straw rope. Synthetic rope is not a good idea for building teepees, because it has trouble gripping the poles like natural ropes, causing slippage.\nIt's also good to have about 12-15 stakes for staking the bottom of the canvas to the ground, as well as the materials to make a fire. If you want an authentic teepee, get some porcupine quills or other long pins to fix the open part of the canvas covering when you assemble it. <img> ",
"Lay out the tripod. The teepee starts by fashioning a simple tripod with three of your poles. Lay two both flat on the ground, right next to each other and lay another across them, creating an acute angle at the top of about 30 degrees. The two poles next to each other will be your corner poles, while the crossing pole will act as the \"door pole.\"\nFor an accurate measurement, lay out the canvas and assemble the poles on top. With the tops of the two base poles in the center of the canvas, pointing toward the center of the flat side, lay the other pole on top of it so the end on the curved side of the semicircle is about a 1/3 of the way down from the edge. That should be roughly a 30 degree angle. <img> Tie the tripod poles with a clove hitch. Use about six feet of your rope to tie the poles together using a clove hitch knot. You should have about five feet left on the short side and 40 feet (12.2 m) or so on the long side. Do not cut the rope. With the short end, wrap around the poles several times and then tie another clove hitch with the remaining rope. The rest of the rope will come in handy later. Keep it coiled and out of the way. <img> Raise the teepee. In the location you'd like to set up your teepee, raise the poles from the jointed end by pulling the rope. Have helpers stand with their feet on the bottom end of the poles to keep them from dragging the tripod.\nAt this point, it should look more like a bipod. When it reaches its apex, separate the two base poles that were next to each other roughly 9 feet (2.7 m) from one another. They will be the \"back\" corners of the teepee, while the crossing pole will be the \"door pole.\" It should not be, strictly speaking, symmetrical, but more of an isosceles triangle. The back corner poles should act as a cradle for the door pole, with about a foot more space from each corner pole to the door pole than between each corner pole.\nMake sure all the corners of the tripod are sturdy by pulling down on the rope while standing in the center of the tripod, directly under the joining point. <img> Lay in the poles. Set aside your sturdiest pole to act as your \"lift\" pole. You'll add poles by moving in a counterclockwise circle around the tripod, starting directly to the right of the door pole. The sides of the tripod between the door pole and each corner pole should have five poles each. The \"back\" side, between the two corner poles, should have four poles, plus your lift pole.\nLeave space for the lift pole in the center of the back side of the teepee. There should be four poles on that side, with a gap in the middle for the lift pole. This will be used later to put the cover on the teepee.\nSteadying each pole at the base with your foot in an arcing line with the corner poles and door pole, gently let the top of the pole come to rest in the V created by both of the corner poles.\nThe distance between all the poles, evenly spaced, should be about 3 feet (0.9 m). <img> Wrap the poles. Using the long end of the rope, walk the rope around the crossing joint of all the poles about 4 times. Let the remainder of the rope hang at one of the corner poles. <img> ",
"Lay the lift pole down the center of the cover. With the canvas on the ground, lay the pole down the center of the covering, with the tip pointed toward the center of the flat side of the semicircle. If you've bought your canvas pre-cut, there should be a small \"life pole flap\" in the center of the canvas with which you'll affix the canvas to the pole.\nIt's important to tie the canvas very tightly to the lift pole. If the life pole flap slips even a couple of inches, the canvas will wrinkle and cause the teepee to be uneven and loose, losing some of its valuable heat benefits. To be sure it doesn't slip, hammer an inch-long tack through the knot and the lift pole flap. <img> Roll up the canvas. While the canvas is still on the ground and now that your lift pole is affixed, roll up the edges toward the pole. Roll up a little at a time, as if you were folding a flag, so that the canvas will be able to unroll easily and evenly when you raise the lift pole.\nRaise the entire bundle in the air and place it into the gap you've left on the back wall of the teepee for the lift pole. <img> Unroll the canvas. When the pole is placed, unroll the canvas around the frame of poles from the back wall to the initial door pole. Make sure the smoke flaps on the canvas are unrolled outward, as well, and bind them together. The teepee should look mostly completed at this point. <img> Pin the flaps together. Most commercial teepees will have holes built into the opening flaps, but if you've cut your canvas yourself you'll need to use the pins you've gathered to auger holes into the cover and pin the open side of the canvas together.\nPorcupine quills can work, and were used traditionally, but small wooden pins are a more durable and available choice. They're available anywhere that also retails lodge pole pine poles. You don't need to use quills if you prefer not to. <img> Stake the canvas. It's smart to secure the canvas to the ground using traditional metal tent stakes, so strong winds won't turn your teepee into a parachute. When you're ready to go inside, fix the door to the outside and you're ready to camp plains-style.\nIf you want to have a fire in your teepee, you'll need to open the smoke flaps or you'll hotbox the teepee and risk a fire. Plant stakes on the door-side of the teepee to fix the ropes to when you've opened them, to keep them from flapping back closed while your fire is lit.\nBe very careful if you want to start a fire during cold weather. It'll be a great source of heat, and your tent will be toasty in no time, but make sure it's centrally placed, under the smoke flaps, and keep active watch on it at all times. <img> Finished. Nice job!"

"Be clear on the occasion. It's important to know what kind of speech you're giving and why your audience is gathering to hear it in order to get started on the right foot. Understand if your speech is meant to be a personal narrative, informative, persuasive or ceremonial.\nPersonal narrative. A narrative is just another word for story. If you're asked to tell a story about yourself, find out if the intention is to use something that's happened to you in order to teach a lesson, convey a moral, offer inspiration or simply to entertain.\nInformative speech. There are two kinds of informative speeches: process and expository. If you're charged with doing a process speech, the idea is for you to explain how something is done, how something is made or how something works. You take your audience step-by-step through the process. If your speech is meant to be expository, your job is to take what might be a complex subject and break it down into sections as a way of educating your audience about the topic.\nPersuasive speech. If you're meant to persuade, then your job is to convince your audience to adopt a particular way of thinking, a belief or a behavior that you advocate for.\nCeremonial speech. Ceremonial speeches run the gamut from wedding toasts to eulogies, from graduation speeches to farewell addresses. Many of these speeches are intended to be short and the focus is often on entertaining, inspiring or increasing the audience's appreciation for someone or something. <img> Pick a topic that will interest your audience. If you have the option, choose to speak about something that your audience will find interesting or enjoyable. Sometimes, you don't have a choice about your topic--you find yourself assigned to speak about something in particular. In that case, you must look for ways to keep your audience engaged in what you have to say. <img> Set a goal. Write a one-sentence statement about what you want to accomplish on behalf of your audience. It could be something as simple as \"I want my audience to learn the four things they should look for when buying a diamond\" or \"I want to convince my audience to give up fast food for a month.\" It may sound simplistic, but writing down this kind of goal statement does two thing: it helps keep you on track as you begin putting your speech together, and it helps remind you to keep your focus on your audience as you move through your speech preparation process. <img> Always keep your audience in mind. It would be a terrible waste of time and effort if you devoted yourself to putting a speech together and the audience tuned out or couldn't remember a word you said by the time you were done. You continually want to think of ways to make what you have to say interesting, helpful, relevant and memorable to your audience.\nRead the newspaper. If you can find a way to link your speech topic to something that's happening in the news, you can highlight the relevance of what you have to say to your audience.\nTranslate numbers. Using statistics in your speech can be impactful, but they can be even more meaningful if you translate them in a way the audience can understand. For example, you could say that worldwide, 7.6 million people die of cancer every year, but to make it more relatable, you might want to follow it up by saying that that number represents the entire population of Switzerland.\nExpress the benefits. It's a good idea to let an audience know exactly what they'll get out of your speech, so that they're primed to listen. If they'll learn how to save money, tell them. If the information you're about to share will make their lives easier in some way, make that clear. If they'll gain a new appreciation of someone or something, let them know. <img> ",
"Know your subject. In some cases, you might need to do nothing more than sit down, gather your thoughts and put all of your ideas on paper. Other times, your topic will be unfamiliar enough that you must do research in order to speak about it knowledgeably. Most times, you'll fall somewhere in between the two extremes. <img> Do broad research. The internet can be a great source to find out more about your speech topic, but don't necessarily stop there. If you're a student, use your school's library or library databases. Many public libraries subscribe to databases that house thousands and thousands of articles. If you have a library card, you have free access to those databases. Think about interviewing someone who's an expert in your topic or conducting a survey. The more ways you go at gathering the information you need, the more successful you're likely to be. Plus, using various research sources gives your speech breadth. <img> Avoid plagiarism. When you do use information you got from an outside source in your speech, plan to give credit to that source. To do so, keep track of where you're getting your information so that you can cite it later on. <img> Decide if you'll outline or script. Narrative, informative and persuasive speeches lend themselves well to being outlined while ceremonial speeches are best written out. \nOutline. When you outline, you're simply organizing and structuring your speech as a series of points. For example, if you were giving the speech mentioned above: \"I want my audience to learn the four things they should look for when buying a diamond,\" you might designate one point for \"Cut,\" one for \"Color,\" one for \"Clarity\" and one for \"Carat.\" Under each of those points, you'd offer your audience more information and detail.\nOutlines can be written in complete sentences or they can be a series of abbreviated phrases and reminders. Another approach is to begin by writing complete sentences and then transferring your outline on to note cards on which you abbreviate those sentences using just the words and memory prompts you need.\nScript. One reason that it makes sense to write out ceremonial speeches is because the words you choose to express yourself in these kinds of speeches are particularly important. You're meant to inspire or entertain or pay tribute to someone, so saying exactly what you mean and have prepared increases your chances for success.\nPull out your old English textbooks and review things like similes, metaphors, alliteration and other kinds of figurative language. These kinds of devices can add to the impact of a ceremonial speech.\nBeware one pitfall of the scripted speech: having a page full of words in front of you can cause you to fall into the trap of simply reading from your script without every looking up, making eye contact or engaging with the audience in any way. Thorough practice should help to eliminate your chances of falling into this trip. <img> Be sure you have all the pieces in place. A speech includes three basic pieces: an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Be sure your speech contains all of these elements.\nIntroduction. There are two things that most good introductions include: an attention-getter and a preview of what's to come in the speech.\nGive an attention-getter. The most important thing you must do in your introduction is to grab your audience's attention. You can do this in a number of ways: ask a question, say something surprising, offer startling statistics, use a quote or proverb related to your speech topic or tell a short story. Take the time to figure out how you'll grab your audience's attention--it's easier to get them hooked in the beginning than to try to get them interested as your speech progresses.\nOffer a preview. Think of a preview as kind of the \"coming attractions\" of your speech. Plan to tell your audience the main points you'll talk about in your speech. There's not need to go into any detail here; you'll get to that when you come to the body of your speech. You can write a preview that's simply one sentence in length to cover what you need to say here.\n\nBody. The body is where the \"meat\" of your speech resides. The points you outlined or the information you scripted make up the body. There are several ways to organize the information within the body of your speech--in time sequence, in step order, from most important point to least important point, problem-solution, to name just a few. Choose an organizational pattern that makes sense based on your speech goal.\nConclusion. There are two things to accomplish in your conclusion. This is not the place to introduce any new information; instead, the idea is to wrap things up in a way that's memorable and definite.\nGive a summary. One of the ways an audience remembers what a speech was about is through intentional repetition. In your introduction, you gave a preview of what you'd be talking about. In your speech body, you talked about those things. Now, in your conclusion, you remind your audience what you talked about. Simply offer a brief review of the main points you touched on in your speech.\nEnd with a clincher. A clincher is a memorable, definitive statement that gives your speech a sense of closure. One easy way to do this is to write a clincher that refers back to what you said in the attention-getter of your speech. This helps bring your presentation full circle and provides a sense of closure. <img> ",
"Choose visuals to benefit the audience. There are many good reasons to use visual aids. They can help make things easier to understand, they help audiences remember what you've said, they appeal to visual learners, and they can help an audience view you as more persuasive. Be sure you're clear on what you hope to accomplish with each visual you incorporate into your speech. <img> Pick visuals that suit the speech. While it's a great idea to use visual aids in your speech, be sure to choose ones that make sense. For example, in the speech mentioned above in which the speaker wants the audience to learn the four things to look for when buying a diamond, it might would make sense to show a diagram of a diamond that illustrates where a jeweler makes cuts in preparing the gemstone. It would also be helpful to show side-by-side photos of clear, white and yellow diamonds so the audience can recognize the differences in color. On the other hand, it wouldn't be very helpful to show an exterior photo of a jewelry store. <img> Use PowerPoint with care. PowerPoint can be a great delivery device for visual aids. You can use it to show photos, charts, and graphs with ease. But there are common mistakes that speakers sometimes make when using PowerPoint. These are easy to avoid once you stop and think about them.\nDon't write everything you plan to say on your slides. We've all suffered through speeches where the speaker did little more that read off of his or her slides. That's boring for the audience, and they soon disengage. Instead, use word charts to preview, review or highlight key information. Remember, the sides should be a supplement to what you're going to say rather than an exact copy of it.\nMake your slides readable. Use a font size that's easy for your audience to read and don't overcrowd your slides. If your audience can't see or get through the material on your slides, they won't have served any purpose.\nUse animations sparingly. Having graphics fly around, zoom in and out ,and change colors can be engaging but can also be distracting. Be careful not to overdo the special effects. Your slides should be a supporting player rather than the star of the show. <img> ",
"Give yourself plenty of time. The more time you have to practice your speech, the more prepared you'll feel, and as a result, the less nervous you'll feel. One guideline for the amount of time to spend on preparing a speech is one to two hours for every minute you'll be speaking. For example, you might want to devote 5 to 10 hours of prep time for a 5-minute speech. Of course, that includes ALL of your preparation from start to finish; your rehearsal would be just a portion of that time.\nLeave yourself time to practice. If you're given to procrastinating, you could find yourself with very little or no time to practice before you deliver your speech, which could leave you feeling unprepared and anxious. <img> Practice in front of people. Whenever possible, give your speech in front of family members and friends. If you want their feedback, give them specific guidelines for what you'd like them to comment on so that you don't feel overwhelmed by helpful notes.\nLook at your audience. Almost nothing does more to keep an audience engaged than eye contact from a speaker. As you rehearse your speech, be sure to look at the family members or friends who've agreed to be your audience. It takes a bit of practice to be able to look at your outline, script or note cards, capture a thought or two and then come up and deliver that information while looking at your audience. It's yet another reason why rehearsal time is so important.\nIf you don't have the opportunity to practice in front of people, be sure that when you do rehearse, that you say your speech aloud. You don't want your speech day to be the first time you hear the words of your speech coming out of your mouth. Plus, speaking out loud gives you a chance to double-check and correct any mispronunciations, practice articulating your words clearly and confirm the timing of your speech (We speak more quickly when we simply recite a speech in our heads). <img> Be OK with changes. One thing rehearing your speech allows you to do is to make any necessary changes. If it's running too long, you have to cut some material. If it's too short or some sections seem skimpy, you add more. Not only that, but each time you practice your speech aloud, it will come out a bit differently. That's perfectly fine. You're not a robot, you're a person. It's not necessary to get your speech word-for-word perfect, what matters is conveying the information in an engaging and memorable way. <img> ",
"Get physical. It's common for people to feel physical symptoms of nervousness--rapidly beating heart, quick breathing and shaky hands--before giving a speech. That's a perfectly normal response caused by a release of adrenaline in the body--something that happens when we feel threatened. The key is to engage in physical activity to help move the adrenaline through your system and allow it to dissipate.\nClench and release. Ball up your fists really, really tight and hold for a second or two and then release. Repeat this a few times. You can do the same thing by squeezing the muscles in your calves very tightly and then releasing. With each release, you should feel a reduction in your adrenaline-induced symptoms.\nTake deep breaths. The adrenaline in your system causes you to take more shallow breaths that, in turn, increase your feeling of anxiety. You need to break the cycle. Take a deep breath through your nose and allow the air to fill your belly. Once your belly is full, let your breath fill and expand your ribcage. Finally, allow your breath to move fully into your chest. Open your mouth slightly and begin to exhale starting first with the air in your chest, then the air in your ribcage and finally the breath in your belly. Repeat this inhale-exhale cycle five times. <img> Focus on your audience. While it might seem difficult to believe, a good speech is really not about you, the speaker. It's about the audience. Plan to put your total focus and concentration on your audience throughout your speech, especially in the beginning. Really take them in and check out the non-verbal messages they're sending you--do they understand what you're saying? do you need to slow down? are they in agreement with you? would they be open to you moving closer to make a stronger connection? If you put your attention fully on your audience, you won't have time to think about your own nerves or anxiety. <img> Use visual aids. You're probably planning to use visual aids anyway, but if you're not, you might want to consider it. For some people, using visual aids reduces their anxiety because it makes them feel less like the center of attention; instead, they feel as though they're sharing the spotlight with the visuals. <img> Practice visualization. When you use visualization you simply create a mental image of you successfully giving your speech. Close your eyes and see yourself sitting down prior to your speech. Hear your name being called or your introduction being given. Visualize yourself standing up confidently, picking up your notes and walking to the podium. See yourself taking a moment to make sure your notes are in order and looking up to make eye contact with the audience. Then picture yourself giving your speech. Watch yourself move through the entire talk successfully. See the speech end, yourself saying \"thank you\" and returning confidently to your seat. <img> Stay positive. Even if you're feeling nervous, do your best not to engage in a lot of negative talk. Instead of saying \"This speech is going to be a disaster\" say instead \"I did the best I could preparing this speech.\" Replace \"I'm a nervous wreck\" with \"I feel nervous, but I know that's normal before a speech, and I won't let that stop me from doing my best.\"\nNegative thoughts are incredibly powerful--one estimate is that you need five positive thoughts to counteract every one negative thought you have, so steer clear of them. <img> "

Is It Safe to Delete Cache Files on Mac? How to Clear Your Cache on Mac | [

"If an application is crashing or showing errors, clearing its cache may help. Applications on your Mac create temporary files they can use to speed up performance. If the cache gets too large or contains a corrupt file, clearing out that app's cache folder can free up disk space and may improve application issues. \nClearing an application's cache does not usually make an app run faster. <img> When possible, delete an application's cache from within the application itself. Depending on the app you're using, there may be an option to delete the cache in its preferences or settings. This tends to be the safest way to clear an application's cache.\nFor example, if you want to clear the cache for Adobe After Effects, just launch the app and go to Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache…. <img> Clear an application's cache manually when necessary. If the application you're using doesn't have a cache-clearing option, you can delete the cache files in Finder. Just make sure you're only deleting the files inside the application's cache folder, and not the cache folder itself. Here's how to safely delete an applications cache:\nOpen Finder and go to Go > Go to Folder…\n\nType /Users/yourusername]/Library/Caches (replacing yourusername with your actual username).\n\nClick Go to open the folder.\nOpen the folder that contains the cache files you want to delete.\nDrag individual cache files out of the folder and into the Trash. <img> ",
"The system cache contains temporary files needed to run macOS. These files don't take up a lot of space, so there's usually no reason to delete these files. If you've been instructed by an application developer or official help file to delete files from the system cache, it should be safe to do as long as you follow the developer's instructions. But be careful—if you delete a file that macOS needs to keep the system running, your Mac could freeze up. \nClearing the system cache will not speed up your Mac. Cache is designed to make it faster for apps and services to load. If you're trying to make your Mac run faster, try a simple reboot to get rid of unused processes and free up RAM. <img> Delete system caches files manually with care. If you need to remove files from the system cache, you can do so in Finder.\nOpen Finder and go to Go > Go to Folder…\n\nType /Library/Caches.\nClick Go to open the folder. You'll find fewer folders in here than you found in your regular application cache.\nOpen the folder that contains the cache files you want to delete. Do not delete an entire cache folder from this location.\nDrag individual files to the Trash bin. <img> ",
"Your web browser stores files on your Mac to make browsing faster. When you visit a website more than once, your browser will first use the cache to show images and static content before attempting to download that content again. Clearing your browser cache simply removes these files, forcing your web browser to connect to the internet and re-download everything on the page. <img> Clear Safari's web cache using the Develop menu. If you're having trouble seeing the latest content on a webpage or using its features, you can clear the cache. Here's how you can enable Safari's Develop menu and clear the cache:\nIf you don't see a menu called Develop in Safari, click the Preferences menu, select Advanced, and then select Show Develop menu in menu bar.\nClick the Develop menu.\nClick Empty Caches. <img> Clear Google Chrome's web cache using the \"Clear browsing data\" feature. If you're using Chrome, clearing the cache also easy:\nIn Chrome, click the three vertical dots at the top-right.\nClick More tools.\nClick Clear browsing data.\nSelect All time as the time range.\nCheck the box next to \"Cached images and files,\" and remove any other checkmarks.\nClick Clear data. <img> "

How to Count Your Sugar Intake | [
"q4yG82W5kCuC",
"4iyDTcU6PIhS",
"0QDaUja0aj63"
] | [
"Look for the serving size. No matter what food you're looking at or what nutrient you're tracking, the first thing you need to take note of is the serving size.\nThe serving size is one of the first pieces of information listed on the nutrition fact panel. It's generally listed right under the title \"Nutrition Facts.\"\nYou will see how much one serving of the food item is and how many servings are in the container.\nIf it's a single-serving container or package it may say \"one package\" or \"contains one serving.\"\nAll of the information listed in the nutrition fact panel is based on one serving. So if there are multiple servings per container, you'll need to make sure you only consume one serving to match up with the information listed. <img> Find \"Total Carbohydrates.\" Total carbohydrates are one of the main, bolded headings on the nutrition fact panel.\nTotal carbohydrates are listed after sodium and before protein on the food panel.\nTotal carbohydrates include the sugar, fiber, and starch (not listed on the label) of the food you're eating.\nHigh quantities of sugar will make the total carbohydrate level high as well. <img> Note the total sugar amount. After finding total carbohydrates, you will see the listing for the total amount of sugar in one serving of the product. It may be shown as “added sugar” listed under the total carbohydrates.\nRecord the total amount of sugar in one serving. If you eat more than one serving, multiply the total sugar amount by how many servings you have. For example, if one serving has 5 grams of sugar, but you had 3 servings, you consumed 15 g of sugar total.\nNote that as of now, the amount of sugar listed here includes both added and natural sugars. You will need to read the ingredient label to find out if there is added sugar in your product. <img> Read the ingredient label. Unfortunately, food companies can add a lot of sugar to foods without necessarily showing it on the nutrition fact panel. \nA common example is evaporated cane juice, which is the same thing as sugar.\nThe ingredient list is listed right underneath or immediately next to the nutrition fact panel.\nThe ingredients are listed in order of the most prevalent. For example, the first ingredient listed is found in the highest quantities in the food while the last ingredient is found in the lowest quantity in the food.\nRead each ingredient and look for any added sugars listed. At this time you can't calculate how many grams of sugar are from added sugars or are coming from natural sugars. <img> Calculate sugar in homemade goods. If you make many of your foods at home you won't have a nutrition fact panel to help you figure out how much sugar is in the foods you make. Use your recipe for a guide.\nMake sure to measure out exactly how much sugar you add (especially if this is your own recipe or you change the recipe as you go).\nResearch ingredients containing sugar that you're using. For example, chocolate chips or peanut butter will have sugar in them. Look at their food labels or look them up on an online food database for nutrient information.\nFor example, if you're making cookies add the amount of added sugar you used to make the entire batch. If you make 30 cookies and it takes 1 cup of sugar to make the cookies, then you divide the number of cookies by the total grams in a cup of sugar (which is 200 grams). For instance, 30 cookies at 200 grams would be 6.7 grams of sugar per cookie.\nMany food diary apps also allow you to input your own recipes and will calculate all nutrient amounts per serving including sugar. <img> ",
"Start a food journal. Whenever you're tracking any component of your diet, it's smart to start a food journal. This ongoing tally can help you get a good look into what you're eating.\nUse either a hard copy journal or set up an online food journal or use a smartphone app. Sometimes online or app versions of the journal make calculating your total sugar intake easy as they do a lot of the math for you.\nRecord everything you eat and drink each day. All meals, snacks, beverages, and even a few bites while you're cooking. Recording everything that goes into your mouth will make your end total more accurate.\nTry to measure or weigh your foods (especially those that are not divided into appropriate portion sizes) for the most accurate count.\nKeep your journal with you so you don't forget to record items that you ate while you were out. <img> Tally up your sugar count. As you go through your day tally up the total sugar found in each of your meals, snacks, and beverages.\nCounting your total sugar intake at the end of the day doesn't allow you to make any adjustments to your diet. For example, if you want to lower your sugar intake, you may skip an afternoon snack if you notice your daily total is higher than where you'd like it to be.\nUse an online food database or app to help you figure out how much sugar is in your food if you don't have a food label for the item.\nTry to track your total sugar intake for an entire week - including weekends. This will give you a great perspective of your typical diet. You may even want to take an average of your sugar intake as each day is a little different. <img> Differentiate between added sugar and natural sugars. While you're tracking your total sugar intake, it may also be useful to track how much of that sugar is added and how much is natural.\nRefer to the ingredient label to see what types of sugar may be added to your foods. It can be listed as: sugar, cane sugar, rice syrup, corn syrup, cane juice, honey, agave syrup, high fructose corn syrup, or corn syrup solids.\nNatural sugar, although still sugar, usually comes with additional benefits. For example, there is sugar in fruit (fructose) and sugar in dairy (lactose). Although it's still considered sugar, the fruit has fiber, vitamins, and minerals and the dairy has protein and calcium. All worthwhile nutritional benefits to these foods.\nAdded sugars are typically added to foods during their processing. For example, sugar added in desserts, sweetened beverages, or candy. Added sugars do not typically come with the same nutritional benefits as natural sugars.\nSome foods may have both natural and added sugars. This will make it difficult to tell exactly how many grams are from the added sugar. For example, regular applesauce generally has some added sugars but also natural sugars from the apples. <img> ",
"Limit added sugars. If you've kept your food journal and tracked your total sugar intake and feel that it's too much, you may want to decrease your total sugar intake each day.\nDecreasing added sugars is an easy place to start. These are more obvious foods and when you limit your consumption of them, can cut out a good chunk of your total sugar intake daily.\nSkip sweetened beverages like coffee drinks, sodas, fruit juices, alcohol, energy drinks, and sports drinks.\nSkip sweetened foods like candy, cookies, cakes, ice cream, pastries, sweetened nut butters, honey, agave syrup, and maple syrup.\nSkip sweet condiments and sauces like ketchup, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, and salsa.\nAlso be wary of diet or low-fat foods. Many foods will decrease their total fat or calories and replace those items with more sugar (or salt). Review some of your favorite low-fat or \"diet\" items to see if there is any added sugar in the ingredient list. <img> Monitor natural sugar. Although natural sugars do contain some nutritional benefits, too much can still have negative side effects.\nNatural sugars are found in foods including: dairy products (especially yogurt and milk), fruits, and some starchy vegetables (like peas, carrots, or sweet potatoes).\nThese foods shouldn't necessarily be restricted, but the amount you eat should follow recommended serving sizes and be adjusted if necessary.\nFor example, a diabetic who eats 4-5 servings of fruit daily might have more difficulty managing their blood sugar due to the fructose in the fruit. <img> Consider sugar substitutes. There is conflicting evidence about artificial and no-calorie sweeteners. However, if you really want to cut out your sugar intake but still want to sweetened foods or beverages you may want to consider using a sugar substitute.\nAlways consult your doctor prior to adding any artificial sugars or other foods to your diet. They will be able to tell you if they are safe or appropriate for you and your current health conditions.\nAlthough these types of sugar are labeled as \"no-calorie\" you shouldn't use them in excess. There are no long-term studies on the safety of large quantities of these types of sugars. In addition, large quantities have been shown to have some side effects (like migraines) in some sensitive people. <img> "

How to Wear Compression Shorts | [
"JcwlvIRHsle2",
"S7V8OSXum7h2",
"TeHW7BsVleTH"
] | [
"Choose outerwear compression shorts if you want high-end gear. These shorts are meant to be worn as workout gear without anything layered on top of them. They are engineered with high-end materials and have unique constructions that set them apart from the undergarment versions. Unfortunately, these high-end materials raise the price tag significantly.\nOuterwear compression shorts are usually 2-3 times more expensive than the undergarment versions. On the upside, they usually last longer and are far more durable. <img> Opt for outerwear compression shorts if you’re a serious athlete. These shorts have the top-shelf construction, special features, and high-end fabrics that many serious athletes prefer. They provide support for the glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Increased blood flow and better bone alignment are other features that interest serious athletes.\nOuterwear compression shorts are thought to also speed up recovery time, prevent delayed-onset muscle soreness, and prevent injuries associated with intense sporting activities.\nYou may prefer this style if you play intense sports, are a long-distance runner, or interested in training recovery. <img> Go with undergarment shorts for a more affordable solution. Undergarment compression shorts are meant to be worn beneath athletic clothing, such as under a looser-fitting pair of shorts or bottoms. They are manufactured to be mainstream athletic gear, making them easier to find in stores and much cheaper.\n$15-$25 USD is a typical price range.\nThey aren’t as durable as the outerwear versions, but most brands still produce high quality gear. <img> Select undergarment shorts for a blend of support and comfort. If you live an active lifestyle, these shorts are easy to wear, functional, and comfortable. They provide muscle support and help circulation. Many wear them as supportive gear instead of jockstraps and other traditional athletic supporters, and they are an effective replacement. <img> ",
"Get a pair made of moisture-wicking material. Compression shorts are incredibly tight. As you exercise, the heat and sweat you generate gets trapped next to your skin. For some people, this may cause skin problems like rashes and inflamed hair follicles. To help prevent this, go with shorts made of a moisture-wicking material, like a nylon blend.\nTo reduce odors, you may want to look for anti-microbial technology. <img> Look for a pair with flatlock stitching to reduce friction. If you’re a long distance runner or intense cyclist, you already know that chafing can be a major issue. On humid days, it can be even worse! Flatlock stitching is very effective at reducing chafing and friction against the skin. Some brands may even market their shorts as “anti-chafing.” <img> Avoid latex-based materials if you have sensitive skin. Some brands use latex-based materials for their shorts. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to avoid those brands. The latex could cause chafing, rashes, and other skin irritations. Many brands will advertise their shorts as being “latex-free.”\nCotton, nylon, Lycra, and Spandex are not latex-based materials. If you see other materials listed on the tag, ask a salesperson to explain them to you or opt for a different pair. <img> ",
"Aim for an overall fit that's snug but still comfortable. Compression shorts are sort of like a cross between very tight biking shorts and a girdle. Typically, they are about 15% smaller than your regular size for shorts. The material should tightly hug and support your muscles, but you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.\nIf yours feel uncomfortable, try going up a size. <img> Wear the shorts without underwear. Compression shorts are meant to be literally skintight. The proper fit makes it nearly impossible to wear underwear with them anyway, but some people still try it. It’s not recommended because it can cause bunching, discomfort, and block the shorts from providing the muscle support you want.\nWearing undies with compression shorts will also reduce the effectiveness of moisture-wicking material. <img> Inspect the elastic waistband and seams for quality construction. Most compression shorts feature elastic along the waist and thighs. The elastic should be firm and snap back easily, while still feeling comfortable. One problem with some of the cheaper brands is sub-par elastic that quickly becomes stretched out and misshapen. Look for quality construction and stitching in these areas.\nReinforced waistbands are also a good feature. These tend to have quality construction and provide enhanced comfort. <img> "

How to Help Cats to Sleep at Bedtime | [

"GMDwdSgkUyYr",
"6PG570kqGVnE"
] | [
"Set a sleep schedule and stick to it. Cats are like kids - they respond to schedules. Maintaining a routine is the first step to sleep training your cat.\nEstablish a bedtime routine. Cats are social animals, and they crave attention and love from their owners. If possible, get up and go to bed at roughly the same time each night. This will help your cat adjust to your schedule, and they'll be more likely to rise and fall with you.\nTurn the lights off at a specific time. Darkness is a cue to cats that it's time to relax and cuddle up for bed. However, keep in mind that cats also love to hunt at night, so darkness by itself doesn't make cats sleepy. <img> Create the same environment every night. Cats thrive on schedule, and easily pick up on signs in regards to their owner's activities. If you sleep with the lights off, turn them off. If you turn the TV off at night, turn it off. If you turn on the fan, turn it on. If you listen to radio, listen to it. Create the same environment every time you go to bed. Your cat will recognize this environment, and understand that it's time to sleep. <img> Change how you feed your cat. When a cat is fed affects their sleep schedule drastically. Oftentimes, if a cat is being particularly pesky at bedtime or early morning they're simply hungry. If you can change how and when you feed your cat, this can lead to more peaceful nights.\nTry feeding your cat shortly before bed. We're all more likely to sleep after we've had a nice meal. Some people find that if you feed your cat a half cup of dry or wet food shortly before bedtime, they'll be more likely to sleep through the night full and satisfied.\nInvest in an automatic feeder for morning meals. Automatic cat feeders, which can be set to release a handful of dry food at specific times, are available for purchase online and at many department stores and specialty pet stores. If your cat wakes you in the early hours of the morning wanting breakfast, an automatic feeder can help. Not to mention, cats are known for their sense of anticipation. If he knows breakfast is coming, he'll likely hang around the feeder early in the morning rather than making noise near the bedroom. <img> ",
"Schedule playtime before bed. Interactive play sessions in the evening are a great way to get your cat tired before bedtime. Toys that mimic the movements of mice and birds, which cats hunt in the wild, are ideal options. Look for toys that bounce and wiggles, like ping-pong balls, string-based toys, and furry mouse toys. Play until your cat seems tired or uninterested. Cats hunt in short bursts, so they tire quickly (like sprinters, not marathon runners). They usually tire after 10 to 15 minutes max. However, make sure there's plenty of play spaced over the day.\nFeathers and laser pointers are other great toys you can try. <img> Provide entertainment options for your cat throughout the day. Our pets lives revolve our comings and goings. Oftentimes, cats get bored during the day when their owners are gone. This leads to an excess of neediness later in the day, when you're trying to wind down and get to sleep. Keep your cat entertained while you're at work or school and they'll be less likely to need attention at night.\nProvide toys your cat can play with on his own. Small plush mice, especially those laced with catnip, are a great choice. They can be swatted around without a human's assistance. Make sure to rotate toys often as cats, like people, crave variety and will get bored with the same toy after awhile.\nDVD's are available for purchase online and at some department stores that are designed specifically for cats. Video CatNip from Pet-A-Vision Inc., for example, includes footage of birds and mice that cats will try to catch when you're not home. Just leave the TV on and make sure it's at the cat's eye level.\nBattery operated toys are available at most grocery stores, department stores, and supermarkets. These toys move on their own and can be left on for a few hours while you are at work. However, be sure to read any warning labels. Some battery operated toys recommend cats only use them with supervision.\nGive your kitty some catnip during the day! This can make them more energetic during that time. <img> Install a bird feeder. Cats love windows, and enjoy being able to see the outside world. Anything you can do to make your backyard more appealing is great. Installing a bird feeder is a low-cost way to give your cat something to watch while you're at home.\nSet up your feeder in a quiet place where it's easy to stock and refill. Feeders should ideally be close to natural shelters, like trees and shrubs, where birds will feel safe.\nMake sure your feeder is at least three feet away from your window. This reduces the likelihood of window collisions, which kill millions of birds each year. <img> ",
"Leave your cat in a separate room. If possible, close your bedroom door at night. Cats are notoriously difficult to sleep with as they rarely sleep a full eight hours and can cause you physical harm via biting and scratching if they're startled by your movements during sleep. It's best to keep your cat out of the bedroom at night, and establish altogether that your sleeping space is not a cat-friendly area. Leave the door closed during the day as well. Cats are territorial. The more access they have with a particular space, the more they think of it as their own, and the harder it is to keep them out when you're trying to rest. <img> Create a resting space for your cat. If your cat feels they have their own place to sleep, they're less likely to invade yours. Cats take refuge in comfortable spaces, surrounded by their toys, litter box, food, and bedding. Setting up a comfortable sleeping space for your cat can give him a place to go at night that won't interfere with your sleep.\nA high resting spot is ideal, as cats are natural observers and love to view a wide scope. A multi-level kitty condo, available for purchase online or at pet stores, can be a good option as it's comfortable for rest and also allows your cat to climb high.\nCats need multiple places to sleep, so provide them with multiple options. While many pet stores sell expensive bedding, just a pillow or blanket is usually sufficient. Place cat-friendly bedding throughout the house, and places where you are okay with your cat taking a snooze. Place a small pillow on the arm of your sofa, or a warm blanket on the top of the stairs. This signals to your cat that these are places for him to sleep.\nCats are most vulnerable when they are sleeping, so they prefer to rest in areas where they feel safe. Provide refuge in quiet spots of the house, especially places that are somewhat hidden like behind or under furniture.\nAs stated, cats feel like a space is their own if their things are nearby. Set up resting spots close to your cat's food, water, litter, and toys so the cat knows this is a space for them. <img> Keep deterrents by your bedroom door. If your cat keeps trying to get in at night, there are a variety of ways to deter this behavior. Set up some kind of inconvenience for your cat, or something that will startle him, and he'll be less likely to come to your door to cry and scratch.\nPlace something in front of the door, such as vinyl carpet runner placed upside down to expose the knobby bits, double sided sticky tape, or aluminum foil. The unpleasant texture will make your cat less likely to bother you at night.\nSet up a booby trap to startle your cat. Hang your blowdryer from the doorknob or place your vacuum 5 or 6 feet (1.5 or 1.8 m) away from the door. Plug the dryer or vacuum into a remote switch, which can be purchased online or at a Radio Shack, and when your cat starts meowing or scratching turn the appliance on. The noise will startle your cat, and he'll be less likely to come back after that. <img> "

How to End a Request Letter | [
"AkLuZaGt2Iqb",
"vhPvrPCzRZfR"
] | [
"Use polite language to formulate your request. With a personal letter, you typically provide some background information about why you're making the request, then state your request directly. A phrase such as \"would you\" or \"could you\" lets the recipient know that you aren't taking it for granted that they'll fulfill your request.\nFor example, you might write \"Would you be willing to accompany my sister to the fundraiser so she doesn't have to go alone?\" <img> Start a new paragraph for any follow-up request. If you need a response from the recipient by a certain date, or need them to do anything else related to the request, keep it separate from the main request. This lets the recipient know that the follow-up request is subordinate to the main request.\nTo continue with the previous example, a follow-up request might be \"We would also be grateful if you were willing to drive her to the event and bring her back home afterward.\" <img> Thank the recipient in advance for fulfilling your request. After you've stated your request, include a simple statement thanking the recipient. You can also include a sentence about how much their assistance would mean to you.\nFor example, you might write \"Thank you in advance for helping us out here. It would mean the world for my sister to attend the fundraiser.\" <img> Include any additional information the recipient might need. If the request needs to be fulfilled in a specific way, or at a specific time and place, go ahead and include this information after your thanks. You could also include contact information, if you anticipate the recipient will want to talk to you first.\nFor example, you might write \"My sister would want to get to the fundraiser at least an hour early so she could speak with the organizers.\"Tip: If you include additional information, you may also want to add another little line that simply says \"thanks again!\" This reinforces that you're not taking the recipient's response for granted. <img> Add a complimentary closing before your name. A simple closing such as \"Sincerely yours\" works well for personal letters. Depending on how well you know the recipient and the nature of your relationship, you may choose something warmer, such as \"Love\" or \"Love always.\"\nType a comma after your closing and leave a double-space for your signature. Then type your name below. <img> ",
"Include your specific request in the body of the letter. When you're writing a request letter for a business, professional, or academic reason, state the purpose of your letter up front. Preferably, you would include your specific request in the first sentence of your letter, rather than at the end of your letter.\nBecause you made your request specifically in the first sentence of your letter, there's no need to repeat it at the end of the letter. <img> Thank the recipient for their time and attention. Start a new paragraph, then write a single sentence thanking the recipient for taking the time to read your letter and consider your request. The recipient is likely a busy person, and their time is valuable. Let them know that you appreciate them.\nFor example, you might write \"Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I really appreciate it.\"Tip: After thanking the recipient for their time and attention, you can also add another apology, such as \"I apologize for the inconvenience,\" if appropriate. <img> Let the recipient know of any deadlines. If you need to know the recipient's answer by a certain date, give them the exact date and time. In some situations, it might be appropriate to provide a brief reason why that deadline is important.\nFor example, you might write \"I apologize for the short notice, but I do need an answer before Monday, April 22. I have booked a flight out of town on that day, and I'll be away for 2 weeks.\" <img> Provide contact information if the recipient has any questions. Give the recipient a way to get in touch with you quickly, particularly if you need an answer within a few days. Make sure the contact method you provide is one at which you're commonly available during regular business hours.\nFor example, you might write \"If you have any questions, feel free to call me at my work number, 222-123-4567.\" <img> Close with a formal and respectful closing. A closing such as \"sincerely\" or \"respectfully\" is appropriate for a formal request letter written for a business reason. Type a comma after your closing, then leave a double-space for your signature. Type your signature below the space.\nIf any additional information is necessary, such as a job title or identification number, include it on the line directly below your typed name. <img> "

How to Pack Ties | [
"ey6ev5A3qTb0",
"qDdc7MPg4vBu",
"YjSCbDfSxoRY"
] | [
"Fold your tie in half, lengthwise. Fold the tie so that it’s inside out and the front of the tie is facing inward. Folding the tie like this will protect the front of the tie from getting dirty or wrinkled while it’s in your suitcase or bag. <img> Lay the tie on a flat surface. Lay the tie down so that the thinner end of the tie is on top. The inside portion of the front of the tie should be facing up.\nYou can use a flat surface like an ironing board or table.\nClean off the flat surface before you fold your clothes on it. <img> Roll the tie up, starting from the smallest end. You can put a pair of socks on top of your tie to help you roll it but it isn’t necessary. Start rolling the smaller end of the tie and continue down the length of the tie until it’s completely rolled up. When you're done it should look like a cylinder. <img> Put your tie in a ziplock bag or small tie box. Putting your tie in a ziplock bag or tie box will help it stay rolled up and will protect it from getting dirty. Tie boxes are small cardboard boxes designed to store rolled up ties that you can purchase online or at a suit store.\nIf you are rolling up more than a single tie, get a ziplock bag that is large enough to accommodate all of them.\nIf you don’t have a tie box or a ziplock bag, you can usually fit a rolled up tie into the foot-hole of your shoe. <img> Tuck the tie box or ziplock bag into your suitcase. Tuck the ties into a corner so that they don’t move around or unravel. You can fit the ties in any snug fitting spot in your luggage or in zipped internal pockets if you have them. <img> ",
"Slide the small end of the tie through the loop. Most ties will come with a loop on the backside of the front of the tie. Fold the tie over and run the small end through the loop so that the front of the tie is facing outward. <img> Line up the top and bottom tips of the tie. Pull on both ends of the tie so that it's taut. The tie should be folded in half, lengthwise. The front of the tie should still be facing outward. <img> Fold the tie again and run the smaller end through the loop. Pull the smaller end through the loop again, and make sure that both ends of the tie line up. The tie should now be folded over twice. <img> Lay the tie flat in between 2 pieces of clothing. Position the tie on your pants, jacket, or shirt and put another piece of folded clothing on top of it. This will keep it flat and prevent it from becoming wrinkled.\nYou can also put your folded ties in a tie box or ziplock bag. <img> Purchase a tie case instead of storing your ties with your clothes. Tie cases are made specifically to store ties as you travel. Place your folded tie under the elastic straps inside of the case to hold them in place. A tie case is a more expensive option, but may be worth it if you're packing expensive ties. <img> ",
"Pack a tie with a suit if you’re using a suit bag. If you are using a suitcase or a book bag, use one of the other two methods. This method is best used with a suit bag because, if you have to fold the suit to fit it in a suitcase, it may also leave fold lines in your ties. <img> Put your suit on a felt coat hanger. Get a traditional hanger that looks like a triangle. The felt material will prevent the tie from slipping off. Put the left and right corners of the coat hanger into the arms of your suit, then use the hook to hold it up.\nOther materials like wood and plastic may be too slippery to hold the tie in place. <img> Fold the tie over the bottom portion of the hanger. Thread the smaller end of the tie through the bottom part of the hanger so that the tie is folded over it. Line up both ends of the tie. <img> Thread the small end of the tie through the loop to secure it. Push the skinny end of the tie through the loop attached to the back of the tie itself. This will keep the tie from slipping off the hanger or coming undone. <img> Pack your suit in a suit bag. Place the suit inside of the suit bag and position the hook on the hanger so that it sticks through the hole in the suit bag. Then, zip up the suit bag and use the hanger to carry your suit. Your tie should now be packed with your suit. <img> "

How to Attract a Tomboy | [

"Be friendly to your crush. If you already go to school, work, or a similar place with your crush, just be kind to her. If you don't know each other, be confident and introduce yourself, that way she knows who you are. Nobody likes a jerk, and that's especially true for tomboys, so avoid insulting her, giving her backhanded compliments, and other common flirting tactics. <img> Join a team or club she's in. Many tomboys are members of clubs, teams, or groups focused on a specific activity or pastime. These can range from video game or D&D clubs to football or basketball teams. If you're actually interested in the activity, try becoming a member of the group or participating in a public event the organization hosts. The more engaged you are, the more likely your crush will notice you and be open to friendship. <img> Connect with her friend group. To get closer to your crush, try becoming friends with another person in her social group. If you've already been vetted by someone she knows and trusts, your crush is more likely to accept you and your advances. <img> Message her on social media. If your crush is naturally shy, try sending her a message on Facebook, Twitter, or another platform. Start by sending her a casual message, then keep it low-key and relaxed until you see how she responds. If she writes back and seems receptive, keep the conversation going.\nIf you haven't met in person yet, introduce yourself and tell her how you know her.\nLook through her profile for information on her family and friends, her interests, and things she likes and dislikes. <img> ",
"Ask her questions about herself. A key part of making a connection is showing that you're interested in the other person. Keep things light at first, asking questions about her everyday life such as: What music does she listen to? Who is her favorite athlete? What does she like to do for fun? Remember that it should be a conversation, not an interrogation, so answer any questions she asks you or build on the things she says. <img> Seek out common interests. Ask your crush about her hobbies or pastimes and take an interest in them. Many tomboys love showing off their skills, so ask to participate in things where she can take the lead. If she's interested in skateboarding, ask her to teach you some tricks. If she plays sports, see if you can shoot some hoops or throw a ball around together.\nIf you haven't tried one of her hobbies, give it a shot. If she loves golf, grab some clubs and hit a few balls. If she loves old movies, ask her for some recommendations.\nIf your crush is an athlete or gamer, try making a bet about whether or not she can do something, like score 3 goals in a row or kill 10 enemies without taking damage. <img> Show off your sense of humor. Making someone laugh is a great way to connect with them, and tomboys are typically more open to weird, crude, or off-color jokes than other girls. Try to discover what she finds funny and adjust your humor to match. If she laughs at a pun or loves a rude joke, try using more in the future.\nMany tomboys hate drama, so try to avoid making fun of specific people such as classmates or coworkers. Focus more on entertaining than insulting. <img> Maintain eye contact during your conversations. Eye contact is one of the most powerful ways to make a connection. Don't check your phone or constantly look around toward other people. Instead, keep your attention focused on her. This is the best way to convey that you're interested in what she's saying, and will help you build a stronger connection.\nEye contact is important, but prolonged staring is intense and off-putting, so glance away every once in awhile. <img> Smile at her. A genuine smile is one of the easiest ways to show interest in someone and make them feel comfortable. Try to keep the smile as genuine as possible. A forced smile is not attractive and can make her feel uncomfortable. <img> ",
"Make fun of yourself. Tell a story about a time you hilariously messed something up, or make a joke about the clothes you're wearing. Most tomboys are not interested in people with giant egos, so laughing at yourself is a great way to bond with your crush and let her know that you can take a joke.\nSelf-deprecating humor is a great way to break the ice, but don't overdo it. Constantly putting yourself down isn't attractive and she may begin to think you aren't joking. <img> Tease her gently. Many tomboys are competitive, so a little good-hearted teasing can bring out your crush's playful side and make her more open to your advances. Try giving her a silly nickname, jokingly disagree with something she said, or goad her about a favorite band, show, or sports team.\nMake sure it's clear that you're joking around and not actually insulting or criticizing her. <img> Laugh at her jokes. An easy way to show you like someone is by laughing at their jokes, and tomboys are no different. Pay attention when your crush tells a joke and, even if she isn't very funny, give at least a chuckle when the punchline hits. Laughing easily, or for longer than you normally would, can clue her in that you have a crush. <img> Notice small changes in her appearance. While they may not wear frilly dresses or tons or makeup, many tomboys still care about how they look and put a lot of work into it. Look for small changes in her appearance, like a new outfit, hairstyle, or hat, and compliment it. This will show that you're paying attention and will make her feel really good. <img> Lean toward her as you talk. When you're having a conversation, lean in toward her ever so slightly. This draws her attention toward you and helps to show your interest in her. Sharing personal space is a key way to increase romantic and sexual tension, and if she seems receptive, try to break the touch barrier by placing your hand on her arm, shoulder, or leg. If she is comfortable, she will also start moving into your space. <img> Ask her on a date if you feel a connection. If you're spending more time together and enjoy each other's company, ask if your crush would be interested in going on a date. Even though she's a tomboy, don't wait for her to pop the question. If she says yes, got to a casual place that fits your personalities, like a movie theater or diner. If she says no, ease up and assess the situation. She may want to just be friends, or she may not be ready for a relationship. <img> "

] | [
"Initiate E-Verify enrollment process. E-Verify is an internet-based system that verifies an employee's eligibility to work legally in the U.S. by comparing the information he submits on Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification to data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA). To use E-Verify, an employer must first enroll his company in the program using the E-Verify website.\nOpen the USCIS E-Verify program enrollment link.\nClick on “Enroll in E-Verify” link located on the right side of the page.\nRead the terms on the screen and if you agree to them, click “I agree.” Then, click on “Continue.”\nReview the checklist on the next screen to confirm you have all of the required information. If so, click on “Begin E-Verify Enrollment.” <img> Select your access method and review MOU. Once you have initiated the E-Verify enrollment process, you will be asked to select your access method and commit to following the rules of E-Verify.\nThe first screen will ask you four questions to determine your E-Verify access method. If you wish to use E-Verify to verify your employee's immigration status, answer “yes” to the first question and “no” to the final three and click “Next.”\nSelect an organizational designation. Certain organizations, like federal contractors, have unique E-Verify requirements. If none of the categories apply, select “None of these categories apply.” Then, click next.\nReview the E-Verify “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU). This document requires that you commit to following the rules of E-Verify. The person who signs the MOU must be a person authorized to make this commitment on behalf of his company. Select the box that indicates you agree to the MOU and then click “Next.” <img> Respond to E-Verify enrollment questions. The E-Verify enrollment program will guide you through a series of questions.\nEnter the name and contact information for the person who will electronically sign the MOU. Click “Next.”\nEnter your company name and contact information in all fields marked with a red asterisk. Click “Next.”\nEnter the first three digits of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for your company. Click “Accept NAICS Code and Continue.” If you do not know your NAICS code, click on “Generate NAICS Code” and enter the names of the states in which your company is located and the number of hiring sites within each state.\nEnter the names and contact information of the persons in your company who will serve as the E-Verify program administrators. Once your company has enrolled, you may add or delete users. <img> Review and submit your enrollment information. Review the accuracy of the information you have entered. If all of the information is correct, select “I agree” in the certification box and click on “Register Employer.”\nYour application will then be processed. Within a few minutes, you should receive an email confirming your company's enrollment. <img> Select a permanent password for your E-Verify account. The email you receive from E-Verify confirming your company's enrollment will include a temporary password and username. You will need to login to your E-Verify account using the temporary password and then select a permanent one.\nPasswords are case-sensitive and must be between 8 and 14 characters long. They must be changed every 90 days.\nBefore you are granted full access to the E-Verify website, you will need to complete an online tutorial. <img> Have all new employees fill out Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. When you hire a new employee, you must ask him to fill out Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification on his first day of work. You must also ask him to submit proof of his immigration status, such as a U.S. passport, permanent resident card or work permit.\nLook carefully at the photo on the document your employee submits. If it does not appear to be the same person, ask him for an explanation.\nKeep in mind that a driver's license is not proof of an employee's legal immigration status. <img> Create a case. Once an employee has submitted Form I-9, you will need to create a case on E-Verify. This must be done no later than the third business day after your employee has started working. \nLog into your E-Verify account.\nFrom “My Cases,” click on “New Case.”\nChoose the correct option button corresponding to Section I of the employee's Form I-9. Click “Continue.”\nIndicate the type of document (i.e. U.S. passport, permanent resident card or work permit) provided in support your employee's Form I-9. Click “Continue.”\nInput all required information from your employee's I-9 into the required text fields. If an employee provided you with an email address, you must disclose it.\nWhen asked for the employee's “hire date,” enter the employee's first day of employment in exchange for wages or remuneration. <img> Compare your employee's photo with the one provided by E-Verify. When you create a case, E-Verify will display a photo on the screen.\nCompare the photo on the document provided by your employee in support of Form I-9 (i.e. U.S. passport, permanent resident card or work permit) with the photo displayed by E-Verify. The photos should be identical with only minor variations in shading and detail. If the two do not match, the document may not be valid.\nDo not compare the photo on the screen with the actual employee. Direct comparison between the document and the individual should be performed when the employee first submits his Form I-9. <img> Wait to receive an initial or interim case result from E-Verify. Once a case is entered, an initial or interim result will be displayed on the screen. \nIf you receive an initial case result of “Employment Authorized,” it means that the information entered into E-Verify matches government records.\nIf you receive an interim case result, it means that additional action is required before E-Verify can complete the verification process. There are several kinds of interim case results. If you receive a “Review and Update Employee Data,” it means a typographical error or incorrect information was provided on Form I-9.\nIf you receive a “Tentative Non confirmation,” it means the information provided by your employee on Form I-9 did not initially match government records. In that case, you must notify your employee of this result in a private setting and instruct him to visit an SSA or DHS office as soon as possible. If your employee chooses not to contest the finding, you may terminate his employment without penalty.\nIf you receive a case result of “DHS Verification In Process,” it means the information provided on Form I-9 did not immediately match government records and a manual review of government records will be required. This process usually takes about 24 to 48 hours. <img> Wait to receive a final case result from E-Verify. Regardless of whether you receive an initial or interim result on the first round, you will need to wait to receive a final case result to confirm your employee's eligibility to work. \nIf you receive a final case result of “Employment Authorized,” it means the information you provided matches government records.\nIf you receive a final case result of “SSA or DHS Final Non-Confirmation,” it means E-Verify cannot verify an employee's work eligibility after he has visited an SSA field office or contacted DHS during the TNC referral process. Once you have been informed of the Final Non-Confirmation, you must close the case. You may also terminate your employee's employment without penalty.\nIf you receive a final case result of “DHS No-Show,” it means your employee did not contact DHS within 8 working days following an initial finding of TNC. This is equivalent to a Final Non-Confirmation. You must close the case with E-Verify and you may terminate your employee's employment without penalty.\nIf you receive a final case result of “Error: Close Case and Resubmit,” it means that the expiration date that you entered for your employee's work authorization document is incorrect. If this occurs, you will need to find out the correct expiration date from your employee and create a new case. You will not be able to submit the information as part of the original case. <img> Close the case. Once you have received the final result, you must close the case you created with E-Verify. \nLog in to E-Verify.\nClick on the Employees tab and search for the employee whose case you wish to close.\nClick “Select” on the employee's name. Then, click on “View Details/Close EEV” to close the case.\nYou will be taken to the E-Verify report. From the drop-down menu, click on “EEV Status.”\nWhen the Case Detail Screen appears, click on “close case.”\nIndicate whether the employee whose case you are closing still works for the company by checking the box for “yes” or “no.”\nProvide a reason for why you are closing the case. For example, if the employee is still working for you and you received an “Employment Authorized” result, check the box that states this option.\nOnce you have selected the appropriate statement, click on “Close Case.”\nRecord the employee's case verification number on his Form I-9 or print out the confirmation that the case has been closed and keep it on file with Form I-9. <img> ",
"Use \"Self Check\" to confirm your employment eligibility. My E-Verify is a website that provides employees with a tool called \"Self Check\" for checking their records within the same databases used by employers to verify employment eligibility. Self Check guides you through a series of basic questions about your identity and work authorization and then compares the information you provide with various government records to determine your work eligibility in the United States.\nTo use Self Check, you must be over the age of 16 and live in the U.S.\nSelf Check is a useful tool for job seekers who wish to confirm their records before an employer investigates their employment authorization. <img> Establish your identity. In order to use My E-Verify to confirm your employment eligibility, you must first establish your identity.\nOpen the following link: https://selfcheck.uscis.gov/SelfCheckUI/\n\nReview the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement and indicate whether you wish to continue in English or Spanish.\nEnter basic identifying information, such as your name, address and date of birth. Entering your Social Security Number is optional at this point, but will be mandatory at a later stage.\nAnswer a series of questions based on your personal information that only you would be able to answer. Note that, though the quiz only takes about a minute to complete, you will be timed. <img> Enter document data. If you successfully establish your identity, you will be directed to confirm your work eligibility.\nWhen prompted, enter your Social Security Number, citizenship status and document type (i.e. Social Security number or U.S. passport).\nThis information will be compared to SSA and DHS records to determine if you would be successfully authorized by the E-Verify system. <img> Get results. In the final screen, the system will inform you of whether the information you provided matches the government records used by E-Verify. If there is a mismatch, this means an employer who searches your name using E-Verify will not be able to authorize your employment.\nIf there is a mismatch and you believe it is a mistake, Self Check will provide you with instructions for correcting your records with the appropriate government agency. <img> ",
"Understand the basics of a FOIA Request. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a person can obtain a copy of his immigration record from DHS. This record, which is known as an \"A\" file, will include all of the information the government has about your prior contacts with immigration authorities. Examining your A file is an important starting point for understanding how your past contacts with immigration may impact any future applications you file for an immigration benefit.\nA FOIA Request can be sent to three different agencies of DHS: United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). You will need to identify your purpose in filing a FOIA request in order to determine to which agency the request should be sent.\nOnly file a FOIA request if the information you need is specifically related to immigration. If, for example, you need a record of your criminal convictions in the U.S., a FOIA will not be helpful. Instead, you should request a background check from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).\nIf you wish to obtain the immigration record of a person other than yourself, you will need to secure that person's consent. If you request an immigration record for a non-consenting party, you will be provided with only limited information that is releasable to the public. <img> Identify which agency has the information you need. Each DHS agency will provide you with a different section of your A file. For this reason, it is important that you identify the correct agency before filing your request so that you send it to the agency that will provide you with the information you need.\nIf you would like information about your entries into the U.S., send your FOIA request to CBP. This is helpful if you have ever entered the U.S. fraudulently or been caught at the border when attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. The CBP record will provide you with a critical starting point for analyzing how your fraudulent or illegal entry into the U.S. will affect you if you apply for an immigration benefit or if you are fighting a removal case in immigration court.\nIf you need information about applications you have filed with USCIS, send your FOIA request to USCIS. For example, if you applied for residence through marriage and were denied, your USCIS record would provide you with the reasons why your application was denied.\nIf you have been detained by immigration authorities and wish to obtain a copy of the charging document in your case, send your FOIA request to ICE. <img> Decide whether to submit your FOIA request by mail or electronically. A FOIA request can either be submitted by mail or electronically. If you choose to submit it by mail, you will need to fill out a copy of Form G-639.\nForm G-639 may be obtained from the USCIS website [1] or by calling the toll-free USCIS Forms Request Line at 1-800-870-3676. <img> Fill out Form G-639. Type or print neatly in blue or black ink, providing all of the information requested.\nIn Part 1, for \"Type of Request,\" check the box for \"Freedom of Information Act.\"\nIn Part 2, if you are requesting records for yourself, enter your name and contact information. If you are an attorney, or otherwise requesting records for someone who has given you his consent, then you should enter your own contact information, but mark \"no\" where you are asked if you are the subject of the record.\nIn Part 3, write out a description of the documents you are requesting. Try to be as specific as possible. This will help the agency that receives your request ensure you are provided with the information you need. For example: \"Any and all information regarding my entries into the U.S. near San Ysidro, California in April 2012.\"\nIn Part 3, include the A number for the person for whom you are requesting the record if you have it. An A number or \"alien number\" is a seven to nine digit number that is assigned to a person as soon as he has any contact with immigration authorities in the U.S. It is the most important source of information for tracking down an immigrant's record and can be found on any immigration document that person has received, including a charging document, receipt from USCIS or alien resident card.\nIn Part 4, the subject of the record must provide his contact information and sign the form before a notary public certifying that he consents to the release of his records. <img> Send your completed form to the appropriate agency. The address to which the FOIA should be sent depends on the agency to which you wish to send it.\nTo send a FOIA request to USCIS, send it to: National Records Center (NRC), FOIA/PA Office, P.O. Box 648010, Lee's Summit, MO 64064-8010. For overnight or certified mail, send it to National Records Center (NRC), FOIA/PA Office, 150 Space Center Loop, Suite 300, Lee's Summit, MO 64064-2139.\nTo send a FOIA request to CBP, send it to: FOIA Officer, 90 K Street NE, 9th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20229-1181.\nTo send a FOIA request to ICE send it to: Freedom of Information Act Office, 500 12th Street, SW, Stop 5009, Washington, D.C. 20536-5009. <img> Submit your FOIA request electronically. Alternatively, a FOIA request can be submitted electronically.\nTo submit an electronic FOIA request to either USCIS or ICE, open the following link: http://www.dhs.gov/dhs-foia-request-submission-form. Then, select the appropriate agency from the drop down menu.\nTo submit an electronic FOIA request to CBP, open the following link: http://www.cbp.gov/site-policy-notices/foia. Then, click on \"Submit a FOIA Request Online\" in the center of the home page.\nBoth sites will direct you to a series of similar to those asked on Form G-639. You will need to provide contact information and specific information about your request.\nClick on \"Submit FOIA Request.\" <img> Submit any requested fees. If there will be a fee associated with your request, the agency that received your request will send you an invoice.\nGenerally, you will only have to pay if the A file you requested exceeds 100 pages.\nFees should be paid by check or money order, drawn on a bank or financial institution located within the United States (“U.S.”), payable in U.S. currency, and payable to “U.S. Department of Homeland Security”. <img> Receive a response in the mail. The response to your FOIA request will be sent to you by mail.\nThe processing time for a FOIA depends on the agency, but will typically take between one and three months. CBP often takes even longer to respond due to a backlog of FOIA requests.\nIf you wish to use the results of your FOIA request to understand how your immigration history will impact a future immigration application or a case before immigration court, review your record with a licensed immigration attorney. <img> "

How to Topdress a Lawn | [

"Assess whether your lawn is due for aeration. You should aerate your lawn every 2 to 3 years. This process removes small plugs of soil from the ground and allows new nutrients, soils, air, and water to get to the roots of the existing plants. If your lawn is large, you may want to break it up into smaller segments and do a different one each year. <img> Choose an aerator. Rent an aerator if you don’t have one. You can find manual models, as well as models that you can pull behind a riding lawn mower. If you have a small lawn, you can even consider aerators that strap onto your shoes. You just walk around your lawn and poke holes in it with the soles of the aerators. <img> Run the aerator over your lawn. <img> ",
"Assess what type of soil you have. The type of soil you have determines how to topdress a lawn because you want to balance out your soil. For example, heavy clay soil should have plenty of sand added to the topdress material to provide additional drainage. <img> Mix the topdressing in your wheelbarrow or some other large container. A basic mix is 3 parts sand with 3 parts loam and 1 part peat. Adjust this to allow for your soil type. Work the mixture until it is as lump-free as possible. <img> Use homemade compost only if you know that it has no weed seed in it. Otherwise, you may just be planting more weeds in your yard.\nBuying compost from the stores reduces the risk of getting weed seeds within the compost. <img> Make sure the sand is lime free. Don’t use sea sand for topdressing. <img> ",
"Use a shovel or your hands to scatter the topdressing material over the lawn. Don’t worry if it’s not even at this point. Apply approximately 3 to 4 pounds (1.5 to 2 kilograms) of topdressing per square yard/meter. A good rule of thumb is to not have topdressing more than 1-inch thick in any spot. <img> Take the back side of a rake or a topdressing tool called a lute and work the topdressing material into the grass to the soil level. There should be no visible remaining top dress when you finish this step. <img> Fill in low spots. Remember to leave the tips of the grass exposed to the air. If you put down too much topdress, remove it. <img> Sow new grass seed in bare spots in your lawn after you topdress. The extra nutrients and fresh soil can help it germinate and take root quickly. <img> ",
"Allow the topdress to settle. Wait for a rain shower or sprinkle the lawn to facilitate the process. <img> Add a bit more topdress material, if necessary, to low places. Be careful not to totally cover the grass. Rake the topdress material so it covers the low spots. <img> "

How to Use a Smoker | [

] | [
"Acquire your smoker. Electric, charcoal, gas and water are popular types of smokers that are used with everything from jerky to turkeys.\nElectric and gas smokers will generally cook meat slightly faster than the other types.\nAssemble your smoker if you have just purchased it. Pay careful attention to the fire box and the air vents. These are essential parts of the smoker, which can result in fire or ruined meat if broken. <img> Cure your smoker before you use it to cook.\nYou will need to start a fire in the fire box. Get it up to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and then turn it down to 225 (107 degrees Celsius) to smoke for several hours. You will remove contaminants and have a layer of seasoning in the smoker. <img> Buy your wood chips or charcoal. Wood chips are generally used with a smoker to create the smoke flavor, and they come in varieties like oak, alder, cherry, hickory and apple.\nMake sure the wood you choose is free of any chemicals. This is true of charcoal smoking as well, since the fumes from the chemicals will go directly on your meat. It is a good idea to begin with pre-soaked chips, instead of making your own. <img> Find a safe place to put your smoker outdoors where it will not be a fire or health risk. You will want it to be outside away from strong winds. <img> ",
"Find a dry rub or marinade recipe for your smoked meat. Mix it up a day before you plan to smoke. <img> Apply the rub or marinade to your meat. <img> Place the meat in a plastic or glass container. Store it in the refrigerator overnight or for up to 1 day. <img> ",
"Fill your smoker with fuel. This can be charcoal, a propane gas tank or simply the electrical plug. <img> Insert the wood chips, if you are using them. Make sure that you have more nearby to restock the smoking chamber.\nIf you are using a gas smoker, you will want to place the chips inside a foil packet. Poke holes in the top of the packet 6 or more times. Place the packet very close to the heat so that it will produce smoke.\nIf you are using a water smoker, you can place fresh herbs in the water to give the meat extra flavor. <img> Start your fire. You will need to ensure air can get around the wood or charcoal, so open up the air vents wide. Then, let it heat for at least 20 to 30 minutes.\nWhile your fire will reach high temperatures of 400 degrees at the beginning, you will want it to cool down to a lower temperature. After 30 minutes, turn the air vents nearly closed to discourage fire and encourage smoldering coals or wood. <img> Aim for a temperature between 180 and 275 degrees Fahrenheit (82 to 135 degrees Celsius). The temperature should be adjusted according to the type of smoker, the type of meat and the size of the meat pieces.\nFor example, fish should be smoked at a lower heat than beef. A large pork shoulder can use a higher heat than small pieces of beef jerky.\nElectric and gas smokers tend to cook hotter, so turn the heat down to a lower setting. <img> Insert the meat on a rack or on multiple smoking racks. <img> ",
"Check on the meat only 1 to 2 times per smoking session. You will need to check on the fuel and wood chips to replace them.\nRemember that each time you open the smoker, you will let heat escape. <img> Smoke approximately 1 to 1.5 hours for each lb. (0.45kg) of meat.\nIf you believe your smoker cooks at a hotter temperature, you will want to aim for 1 hour per lb. You can also cook longer at a lower temperature. <img> Rotate the meat every 2 to 3 hours. <img> Mop some marinade on the meat each time before you turn it. <img> Check on the meat at least 1 hour before it is scheduled to be done. It is better to under-cook than overcook, because you can always reinsert the meat into the smoker and cook it more.\nOvercooking is common with small off-set home smokers. <img> Remove the meat when you have checked it and it looks done. Remember that some woods can give meat a redder color, so it will be harder to tell when it is cooked. <img> "

"Create a new region. Choose whether you want it to be plains or water. Name your region. Next, click on a section of your region and choose \"play\". <img> Customize your region. Go to \"God Mode\" and begin shaping your landscape. Steep mountains and water cannot be zoned on. Remember that trees at this point are free, and also increase land value and health. Adding trees now will be very beneficial. <img> Go to \"Mayor Mode\" and name your city. Then zone some low density residential. <img> Put in a Natural Gas power plant to provide your residents with electricity. Natural Gas is little more expensive to maintain but is well worth it as the pollution is much lower. Place this a short distance away from your residential zones and turn down its budget to fulfill your needs, plus 30% more (this will save you money). You should see a bit of development move in. The power plant only provides a few jobs, so growth will be small at this stage. This is normal though. <img> Zone a small amount of medium density industry next to the power plant. This will provide quite a few jobs. Once development begins to slow down, save your city and exit to your region. <img> ",
"Start another city next to the first one and create a connection. You will want the land to be flat, so don't go crazy creating your landscape. The city needs to be flat because industrial zones don't do well on crooked land. <img> Zone a lot of medium density industrial. Do not add any residential zones. Instead of adding another power plant to this city, you can drag power lines to the edge of the town and create a neighbor connection. Accept the power deal that is offered to you. That way, you are buying power for a small price instead of maintaining your own.\nYou should see factories and other buildings develop very rapidly. This is because the demand for jobs in your other city is high because it offers only a handful of jobs. Demand will always \"flow\" between cities. They will work in this industrial city. Once development tapers off, save and exit to your region.{\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/6\\/65\\/Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\\/v4-460px-Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/6\\/65\\/Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\\/aid141321-v4-700px-Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":368,\"bigWidth\":700,\"bigHeight\":560,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"https:\\/\\/creativecommons.org\\/licenses\\/by-nc-sa\\/3.0\\/\\\">Creative Commons<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><p><br \\/>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"} <img> Go back to your first city.

Keep zoning low density residential until development tapers off. Once your residential city has a population of over 1,100 Sims, you can start zoning medium density. Make sure you provide those zones with water. <img> Add a complete school system to this city, and be sure to fund it well. A community of well-educated Sims attracts wealthy businesses to your Commercial city well and High-Tech Industry to your Industrial one. Add health care facilities to ensure your Sims live to ripe old age. <img> Continue going back and forth between your two cities. As your population grows, demand for industrial jobs grows. And in turn, the industrial development will attract new Sims to your Residential city. Once you seem to have a strong pattern going between your two cities, it is time to create a new city.\nIf the road or roads going into the industrial city are getting overcrowded, you may try upgrading to an avenue, to handle the extra traffic.{\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/e\\/ec\\/Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\\/v4-460px-Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/e\\/ec\\/Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\\/aid141321-v4-700px-Create-a-Successful-Region-in-SimCity-4-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":368,\"bigWidth\":700,\"bigHeight\":560,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"https:\\/\\/creativecommons.org\\/licenses\\/by-nc-sa\\/3.0\\/\\\">Creative Commons<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><p><br \\/>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"} <img> ",

Only develop agriculture in this city. By now, your region should have a very healthy economy. <img> Continue play between your four cities. By now, you should have several thousand Sims living in your Residential city. You will develop high-tech industry in your Industrial city.

How to Show off Your Curves | [

] | [
"Avoid loose or oversized clothing. Wearing clothing that is either too large for you or loose and flowing will hide your curves and create a boxy shape.\nAny woman can wear prints, just keep in mind the silhouette. If you’re naturally curvy, use prints to play up one part of your body while keeping the rest of your outfit simple. If you’re naturally slim, you can wear prints with just about anything. For example, you might consider a printed blouse with a nipped in waist to create curves. <img> Wear solid colors and try color blocking. Solid colors will create a slim line and color blocking, which is a way of wearing two or more solid colors, will help further accentuate your curves.\nYou can also use color blocking to create curves. For example, a dress that has side panels in a different color that taper in will define your waist and give you a curvier look.\nHorizontal color blocking, such as wearing one color on top and another on the bottom, is a bit more subtle but will also highlight your curves. <img> Wear the right fabrics. Because fabrics fall in different ways on a person’s body, choosing the right fabrics for your clothing will help accentuate or create curves.\nThe best options are medium-weight knits and soft fabrics that will drape well over your curves. Consider cotton with a small percentage of spandex to help the garment lightly skim your body while retaining it’s shape.\nIf you aren’t naturally curvy, consider fabrics that have a bit more spandex to hug your body while creating curves. <img> Choose clothing details to accentuate or create curves. Small clothing embellishments and details, such as a peplum or an A-line, will accentuate or create curves by drawing the eye towards specific areas of your body.\nPeplums are a good way to make your hips look curvier. The peplum should be structured and not hang loosely from the article of clothing. If you’re wearing a peplum, stick to slim pants or pencil skirts that go below your knees to create a tapered look. This will make your hips look curvier and your waist smaller.\nHigh necklines can make a woman look boxy, so opt for lower necklines that break up your chest area and draw attention towards your face.\nOff the shoulder tops or strapless dresses draw horizontal lines across you and emphasize the widest part of your body. This makes your waist look smaller, helping to create an hourglass shape.\nAn A-line skirt that nips in at the waist will also help create curves, especially if you pair it with a more form fitting, tucked-in top.\nDraping, which is often seen on soft, stretchy fabrics, is another way to create structure and highlight or create curves. <img> Avoid loose or oversized clothing. Wearing clothing that is either too large for you or loose and flowing will hide your curves and create a boxy shape.\nAny woman can wear prints, just keep in mind the silhouette. If you’re naturally curvy, use prints to play up one part of your body while keeping the rest of your outfit simple. If you’re naturally slim, you can wear prints with just about anything. For example, you might consider a printed blouse with a nipped in waist to create curves. <img> Have your clothing tailored. Clothing is usually mass-produced to accommodate standard body types. Clothes that are tailored to fit your body will accentuate or highlight curves while hiding any spots you may not like. Tailored pieces can also create curves if you aren’t naturally curvy.\nIn order to best accentuate your curves, your clothes should be formfitting but not tight, nip in at your waist, hug your hips, and fall loosely over your thighs and calves.\nIf you want to create curves on a slimmer figure, you can make your clothing tailored so it’s slightly more formfitting, but not skintight.\nFor example, you can have a boxy top tailored to be more form fitting and flattering to your figure by adding darts, or have wrap dresses and skirts adjusted so that they just skim your curves. <img> Accentuate your waist. The most effective way to highlight your shape and create curves is to accentuate your waist.\nThere are a number of ways you can do accentuate your waist, including wearing a belt or an A-line skirt, or getting tops tailored to your waist. <img> ",
"Wear a belt. Accentuating your waist is one of the best ways to show off your curves and wearing a belt will help to create a waistline on any look.\nMake sure the belt fits with your look. There are innumerable choices in belts, and finding the right style is key to creating a waist. For example, if you are wearing a tighter top, wear a thinner belt. For dresses, you can choose thicker belts, including Japanese-style obis. <img> Wear high-heeled shoes. A pair of simple, classic heels will not only lengthen your legs, but also help create an hourglass shape.\nMake sure to choose simple heels and avoid details like ankle-straps, which will cut the line of your look. <img> Accentuate your look with jewelry. You’ll want to pull your curve-highlighting look together with the right jewelry. From earrings to necklaces and bracelets, these simple details will complete your outfit, giving you confidence.\nLonger earrings and necklaces will highlight your shoulders.\nA stack of glittery bracelets can draw attention to your hips. <img> Have confidence. One accessory every woman should have that will help draw attention to curves is confidence. Putting together your curve-accentuating look and knowing that you look good will give you this confidence. <img> ",
"Get properly fitted for a bra and shape wear. Having the right sized bra and undergarments, such as Spandex, is important to accentuate or create curves. Ill-fitting undergarments will not enhance your curves, but they may also be uncomfortable.\nStores that specialize in quality lingerie can offer you qualified salespeople who will find for you the proper size bra. Note that sizing varies from one company to the next, so you may have a different bra size for each brand you wear. <img> Purchase and wear the right bra. Once you’ve been fitted for the proper sized bra, buy a bra that enhances and shapes your chest while supporting it.\nGet bras with an underwire, a good lining, and maybe even some padding. Each of these features can take a curvy or boyish shape from drab to fab.\nBuy a few styles so you have options for different looks. For example, you’ll want a nude bra for lighter colored clothing and a black one for darker garments. Having a seamless bra will create a smooth silhouette. <img> Have the right shape wear. Undergarments such as Spandex help control specific parts of your body by highlighting or creating curves while while smoothing out your shape.\nShape wear comes in all different shapes and sizes depending on where you would like to either accentuate or create curves. For example, you can get something that looks like a traditional “girdle” that will smooth out and enhance the curve of your bum, belly, and thighs, whether you are naturally curvy or have a more boyish shape.\nYou can buy shape wear at many stores and websites offering quality brands. <img> "

How to Survive an Abduction or Hostage Situation | [
"KWOOYoPd2qQ0",
"MxBUFcNaNLsJ",
"JFZWmCW18CFV"
] | [
"Run away from someone who tries to take you if you can. If you're ever in a situation where someone tries to abduct you, do anything you can to avoid going with them. Try to pull away from them, then run as fast as you can in the direction of the nearest people or building that you can see.\nEspecially avoid getting into a vehicle, since it will be much harder for authorities to find you if your attacker drives you a long distance.\nIf you're taken hostage, the situation may unfold very quickly, and you might not have the opportunity to run. <img> Yell to draw attention to the situation. If someone makes an attempt to kidnap you, start shouting right away, especially if you know there are people nearby. Even if the attackers manage to subdue you, keep yelling to try to get someone's attention. If someone hears a shout and they see what's happening, they may be able to help you before you're taken.\nTry yelling something like, \"Help!\" or \"Call the police!\" As a suggestion, yelling, \"FIRE!!\" is your best bet. People are more likely to respond to fire, and this can summon help faster.\nAt the very least, an onlooker can contact the authorities and let them know that an abduction has taken place. They may also to provide critical details like the kidnapper's physical appearance or the type of vehicle they're driving. Really try to get the license plate to see if the car was stolen or to see if it is really their car. <img> Fight your attacker as hard as you can. It can be really hard not to panic, but if you can stay calm and focused on survival, you may be able to fight off an attack if someone grabs you. Fight in any way you're able, whether that's hitting, kicking, biting, or scratching. As you do that, try to target your kidnapper's eyes, nose, throat, or groin, as these are especially sensitive targets. As long as there's still a chance you could break free and run, it's worth fighting for.\nThis is your best chance to escape, because the moment will be hectic, and there's a chance someone will see what's happening and intervene. <img> Look for objects in your environment to use as weapons. As you're fighting off your attacker, try to gather yourself enough to scan around you. Look for anything that's close enough to grab that might give you an edge in the fight. If there's nothing that you can use as an offensive weapon, check for anything you can use as a barrier between you and your attacker, like a chair or a table.\nFor instance, even if your attacker knocks you down, you might spot a loose chunk of sidewalk that you can grab to hit them with.\nIn your home, you might be able to grab a heavy vase or lamp, a fireplace poker, or even a large book. <img> ",
"Follow your captors' instructions once you are in captivity. If at any point it becomes clear that your captors have gained the upper hand, stop resisting right away and comply with any orders they give you. You're more likely to be hurt or killed if you continue fighting after you're overpowered, such as if you're being held by multiple people, put in restraints, or placed in a vehicle or other confined space.\nOnce you're abducted or taken hostage, it's best to take a measured approach to escaping, rather than an impulsive one, so start evaluating your surroundings rather than fighting to get away.\nIf you're put into a vehicle while you're conscious, try to pay attention to as much about the trip as you can, like how long the car travels without stopping, the direction of any turns, or any sounds you notice on the road.\nIf you're in the trunk of a car, look for a glow-in-the-dark handle that you can pull to release yourself from the trunk. If this release cord isn't present, try to kick out the tail lights and wave your hands to alert other motorists that you're trapped inside. <img> Stay calm and focused on survival. It might be really hard, but once you're taken captive, try to dig deep within yourself to find your composure. Try to hold onto your dignity, rather than crying hysterically or begging for them to let you go. That will make you seem more human in your kidnappers' eyes, which may make them less likely to kill you.\nIf you can help it, try not to even cry.\nWhen you're talking to the person who's abducted you or taken you hostage, speak softly and clearly. Don't be belligerent or uncooperative. If you antagonize your captors, they may be more likely to attack or even kill you. <img> Try to connect with your kidnappers, but don't pretend to support them. It can help to talk to your kidnappers about universal subjects, like families, your hobbies, or sports. However, don't go so far as to try to befriend your captors or defend their cause. They're likely to see this as a ruse, which could anger them.\nIf there's anything you want or need, like medication or a book, calmly ask for it—it might help establish some rapport.\nDuring conversations with your captors, avoid the subject of politics or religion, especially if you are being held by terrorists.\nIf you have pictures of your family with them, you can even show them to your captors to help them see you as more of a person, rather than just a victim. <img> Observe as much of your environment as you can. While you're in captivity, pay attention to every detail. This might include how many people are holding you, their physical descriptions, and any exits in the place you're being held. You might spot something that helps you escape, or you might be able to provide authorities with key information that will lead them to your captors after you're rescued.\nEven if you're blindfolded or it's dark, you might be able to pick up on sounds or smells that can give you clues to your location. For instance, if you hear a lot of traffic, you'll know that you might be able to find help if you can just escape the building.\nOther details to notice about your captors might include their accents, their names or aliases, and who seems to be in charge. If they seem to follow the same routine each day, make note of that as well. <img> Do not admit to accusations if you're interrogated. In some cases, you might be taken hostage or abducted because your captors believe that you have information they could use for political or personal gain. No matter what they do, do not divulge any information that can be used against you.\nHowever, do try to act like you're being cooperative. For instance, you might answer questions about your line of work without divulging your company's bank account numbers. <img> Find a way to communicate if there are other captives. If you're taken hostage as part of a group, or if you discover that your captives have also abducted others, try to set up some way to communicate. However, avoid speaking openly amongst yourselves in front of your captors, as they may separate, restrain, or even kill some members of the group in an attempt to subdue everyone.\nYou might speak quietly amongst yourselves when the kidnappers are out of the room, for instance, or you might tap out a message if you know Morse Code.\nIt may be helpful to set up a code word in case the opportunity to escape arises. <img> Prepare yourself to be held for a long time. Depending on the situation, you may be held for only a few hours, but you might be there for days, months, or even years. As you begin to adjust to your situation, try to develop a daily schedule, tracking time by outside cues like birds chirping, temperature changes in the room, or even your guards' activities.\nEven if it doesn't seem very appetizing, eat whatever food they give you so you'll stay healthy and strong.\nTry to use flexing exercises like planks and squats to keep your muscles strong. Many of these can be adapted to work even if you have a very small range of movement.\nMeditation or prayer can be a good way to keep yourself mentally strong while you're being held.\nFortunately, the longer your captors hold you, the more your chances of survival increase. <img> Wait to be rescued unless you are sure you can escape safely. If you're in captivity, you're most likely to be killed if your captors discover you trying to escape. If you see an opportunity to escape and you're absolutely sure it can work, take it. However, if that's not the case, bide your time.\nTracking an abduction victim or negotiating with hostage-takers can take a lot of work, so it's important to be patient and allow the authorities to find you.\nSimilarly, if you gain access to a phone, only try to dial emergency services if you're sure you can do it unnoticed.\nAn exception to waiting for rescue is if you believe your captors are planning to kill you. For instance, if they suddenly stop feeding you or if they seem very nervous or scared, your life may be in danger, and you should find any way out you can.\nIf you do escape, get somewhere safe right away, like a police station or a crowded building. <img> Follow the authorities' directions if you're rescued. If you're found by the authorities, there will likely be several chaotic moments where they have to determine who's a kidnapper and who's a victim. For your safety, get low to the ground with your hands behind your head or crossed in front of your chest. Don't run, and don't make any sudden movements.\nAs the authorities secure the scene, they may handcuff and search you. Allow them to do this, then let them know that you've been abducted. <img> See a doctor for medical attention as soon as possible. Once you escape or you're rescued, you need to be evaluated by a doctor for any physical trauma you might have occurred as a result of the abduction. However, it's equally as important to talk to a mental health professional to help you process your experience, as well.\nFind a therapist who specializes in trauma to ensure you get the care you need. <img> ",
"Remind yourself that kidnapping is uncommon when you start to feel anxious. It's extremely unlikely that you'll face a kidnapping attempt in your lifetime. Keeping this in mind may help you regain a feeling of control if your anxiety starts to spiral out of control. However, don't beat yourself up over your anxiety—it's normal to worry that bad things may happen to you or your family, especially if you've recently read or heard about a kidnapping case.\nThis may be particularly true if the kidnapping was in your area or happened to someone who resembles you. <img> Take steps to be prepared in case a kidnapping attempt does occur. Everyone can benefit from some basic safety awareness, like paying attention to your surroundings or being cautious around strangers. However, if you perceive yourself to be at a greater threat for being a kidnapping target, take extra precautions to protect yourself. This can give you the piece of mind you need so you're not preoccupied with anxiety.\nFor instance, if you are visiting a different country, you work for a political or social organization, or your family is very wealthy, you may feel that you're more likely to be targeted.\nIf you're in an area that's politically unstable, pay attention to daily news reports, as well as any terrorist threat levels, and assess your own kidnapping risk based on that. <img> Stay aware of your surroundings. While you don't need to constantly obsess about kidnapping, it can help you have better peace of mind if you keep your guard up, especially when you're out in public or if you're around people you don't know well. Pay attention to what people around you are doing and trust your instincts. If something or someone seems suspicious, try to leave the situation as soon as possible.\nWhether you're traveling or you're in your home town, try to avoid locations that have a reputation for being unsafe. Also, avoid walking alone at night. Park in well-lit areas and ask someone to walk you to your car if you're by yourself.\nWhen you arrive at your home, have your keys in your hand before you exit your vehicle. If you have a garage, open the garage door, drive in, and make sure the garage door is fully closed before you get out of the vehicle.\nDon't reveal personal information about yourself when you're talking on the phone in a public location, as this could give a kidnapper information they could use against you.\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\tRoss Cascio\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSelf Defense Trainer\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoss Cascio is a Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense, fitness, and fight instructor. He has been training and teaching Krav Maga self-defense, fitness, and fight classes at the Krav Maga Worldwide HQ Training Centers in Los Angeles, CA for over 15 years. He helps people become stronger, safer, and healthier through Krav Maga Worldwide training.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoss Cascio\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSelf Defense Trainer\t\t\t\tOur Expert Agrees: Walk in well-lit and populated areas. Change up your routes to work or school regularly so a stalker can't predict your actions, and if you think you're being followed, go to the closest police station. <img> Try to make yourself as inconspicuous as possible. When you're out in public, avoid drawing attention to yourself, as this can make you a more attractive target to potential kidnappers. Wear nondescript clothing and avoid wearing jewelry or flashy shoes. Also, depending on where you're going, you may not want to carry high-value electronics like a smartphone, tablet, or nice camera.\nIf you're traveling by foot, walk confidently and with purpose. Avoid stopping on the street to check a map, and take care whom you ask for directions since you want to avoid giving the appearance of being a lost tourist. <img> Change up your routine every few days. Kidnappers often study a person's daily habits before attempting to take them. You can make yourself a more difficult target by making your movements unpredictable. For instance, you might plan out several paths to work or school, and change which one you take every 2-3 days.\nYou can also eat lunch at a different restaurant each day, visit different bars or meet your friends at different times, or leave for work at a different time.\nIf you do believe you're being followed in your vehicle, immediately drive to a police station or somewhere you feel safe. If you're walking, go into the nearest crowded, public space.\nIf you're working for a government agency overseas, consider driving a nondescript vehicle without any obvious markings so you're less likely to be identified on the road. <img> Take self-defense classes to feel more confident. A self-defense class can give you the tools you need to stay calm during a high-pressure situation like an attempted kidnapping. In addition, you'll learn effective ways to fight back if someone grabs you.\nLook online to find self-defense classes in your area. <img> Talk to your doctor if your anxiety about kidnapping is interfering with your life. If you've taken steps to keep yourself safe, yet you're unable to stop thinking about or worrying about being kidnapped, it may help to talk to your primary care provider. They can help you evaluate whether your concerns are valid or if you may be struggling with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder.\nYour doctor may refer you to a counselor or therapist who specializes in anxiety. <img> "

How to Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies | [

"LUMLPF3Bv3ti",
"QnNE17hy6VF8"
] | [
"Let it all out. Right now, while you’re in deep pain, it’s important to find some measure of relief or release and process your emotions. Slow down, give yourself some privacy, and let yourself cry, shout, or write about the person you’re mourning. When you get in touch with your feelings in the best way that you can, you’ll give yourself an outlet that’ll help your healing journey.\nIf you find that you’re in shock and can’t cry, that’s also okay—everyone grieves in different ways.\n\n Writing in a journal during a time of sadness can also help you fully express yourself. <img> Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Release any idea of what you “should” do, like the idea that you “should” seem happy or peppy in social situations. Also free yourself from the pressure of setting unrealistic standards, like acting “composed” or “strong” when you really feel broken down or drained. Instead, share when you are enduring pain or a struggle so others know your emotional truth—remember, you deserve to be heard.\nYour friends and family members won’t need you to act “tough” or put on a “brave face”—instead, they’ll want to know when they should intervene and help you.\nLet your loved ones know when you’d benefit from a private moment to talk because you’d feel more comfortable in that situation.\nAsk for someone you trust to be by your side when you go to social events. They can help calm your nerves and take over conversations if you ever become overwhelmed. <img> Give yourself a break from your normal routine. When you try to get over the death of someone you love, your normal activities may feel unfulfilling. You may feel drained easily, and find things like work and school to be totally impossible. Right now, just take small steps to take care of yourself. \n\"Bereavement leave\" is a leave of absence for people facing grief. Consider asking your superior for time off while you grieve.\nIf you're in the middle of a course or class, reach out to your professors or a school counselor to ask for time off.\nIf you have a goal you've been working towards, like training for a competition or race, give yourself permission to take a pause. <img> Grief has no set timeline; it comes in waves, and everyone is unique. There may be some days when you feel better and other ones when you’re overcome with sadness. There’s no need to put a timeline on when you’ll heal from your loss. Just allow yourself to fully experience all your feelings and how much you miss your loved one.\n\nShow yourself compassion. For example, if your heart still hurts even though years have gone by, embrace how much love you still feel for the person who passed on.\nAlso understand that you’re on your own special journey. Even if some people seem like they “healed” more quickly from grief than you have, all that matters is that you’re honest with yourself and your feelings. <img> Celebrate your loved one to honor their life. You might want to plan a memorial where everyone comes together to share heartwarming stories, or you may wish to write poetry dedicated to the special person who has passed on. When you make these meaningful gestures, you express gratitude for this individual's impact on your life. You also give yourself the opportunity to focus on the best moments you had with them.\n\n Create a scrapbook full of your favorite pictures of this amazing person.\nDonate to a charity or volunteer for an organization this individual supported.\nTake part in activities your loved one adored, such as gardening or chess.\n\n Plant a tree in honor of the dearly departed to symbolize your eternal love. <img> ",
"Reach out to your loved ones. Make sure you have a shoulder or two to cry on. Talk to your friends, family members, or even people in your extended social network—like acquaintances on Facebook—and let them know that you’d value their company and consolation.\nRemember that your friends love you unconditionally, even when you’re sad or would benefit from some space.\nExpress what would comfort you. For example, say, “I’d love it if I could grab tea with you and share our favorite memories of Mom.”\nDescribe how others can lift a burden from you. You might share, “I’m overwhelmed packing up all of Todd’s clothes. Is anyone free this weekend to help me?”\nTry not to isolate yourself. Instead, tell your friends if you’re not up for big get-togethers and just need one-on-one time. <img> Join a support group to heal with other mourners. Talking to multiple people who are dealing with similar experiences can help you feel less alone and find new ways to cope. When you develop new relationships in your support group, you'll find individuals who can join you on your journey as you navigate life after loss. Plus, having a support group to go to at least once or twice a week can give you something to look forward to since you’ll be around allies who understand you.\nVisit GriefShare to find a support group near you.\nYou may find that you feel relieved to share your story with those who are also mourning.\nYou might even make lifelong friends who also honor your loved one and help you enjoy new experiences. <img> Seek comfort in your faith if you’re religious or spiritual. If you follow a religious practice, spend more time in your faith-based community. Speak about your grief with a spiritual leader and ask for guidance or lines of scripture that can give you a new perspective on death. They may offer wisdom about how to cope in this world or describe beautiful sentiments about an afterlife. When you’re alone, engage in your faith by calling to a higher power through prayer or meditating on your favorite verses.\nGoing to your religious establishment just once a week can give you something positive to look forward to and help you with your routine.\nYour faith-based community may promote special events, like volunteering opportunities, which can offer a way to lift your spirits by helping others. <img> Seek out information about the supernatural world if it comforts you. Tons of people report sensing their loved one’s presence in their daily life—it could be in dreams, feelings, or natural events. If you’ve felt this yourself, know that it’s totally normal. And if it feels right to you, consider leaning into this even more. For example if you consult a psychic, you can ask about ways to contact the spirit of your loved one.\nResearch psychic mediums and reach out to the one you feel most drawn to.\nWrite down a list of questions you can ask the spirit of your loved one.\nRead books that review paranormal activity and encounters with spirits.\n\n Consult Tarot cards and pose questions about the dearly departed.\nSearch for everyday signs that your loved one is with you, such as a familiar scent when no one else is in the room or a dream where you speak to the individual who's passed on. <img> Seek therapy if you're struggling with your mental health. Grief can feel so overwhelming and powerful. But for so many grievers, therapy can be a huge help—and even offer genuine feelings of hope. For extra support, contact a knowledgeable professional—like a trained counselor from BetterHelp—who can talk about your emotional state and recommend the best course of action.\nMental health professionals specialize in treating \"complicated grief\"—intense sadness that lasts longer than 12 months—as well as symptoms associated with it, like clinical depression. <img> Adopt a pet as a comforting companion during a period of grief. Caring for an animal like a cat or a pet during a time of great loss can improve your mental health and lift your mood. Plus, having a beloved pet can give you a buddy to cuddle and spend time with. Not only does a cute animal provide great company, but looking after one can also give you a renewed sense of purpose.\nGo to a pet shelter to bring home a rescue animal. If you meet a critter who really needs help, you may feel inspired to give it the best life you can. Raising this pet may also offer you a more hopeful chapter after your period of mourning. <img> Try to accept people's consolations even if they're not worded perfectly. People may offer sentiments that don't feel helpful to you even if they mean well. Try to subtly and kindly let these people know what kind of support you prefer. For example, tell them if you'd rather talk about a loss than act like your loved one is \"in a better place.\" Your gentle honesty will help others understand your needs.\nPeople might share an experience completely different from yours like, \"You'll be fine soon! I got back into the swing of things after a couple of months.\" If your timeline for dealing with loss seems different, feel free to politely tell them this.\nIt may help to tell yourself, \"It's the thought that counts.\" Even if people struggle to find the right words, they definitely want to try to help take away your pain.\nIt's okay to distance yourself from anyone who you feel uncomfortable around—if their words make you feel negatively, then limit the time you spend with them. <img> ",
"Try not to make big life decisions right away. You may feel like the death of your loved one has made you realize that you need to quit your job, sell your house, or move immediately. While it's understandable to crave a sudden change, take care to reflect on any major transitions. Instead, make sure you talk about your plans with your friends, think about the pros and cons, and wait a few months to see if you're still interested in a shift in circumstances.\nSince a dramatic transition can take a lot of mental, physical, and emotional energy, they may leave you more exhausted when you're in the middle of grief. Right now, just focus on creating as much balance in your life as you can. <img> Focus on self-care as well as your health. Though getting 8 hours of sleep or eating a balanced diet may be the furthest thing from your mind when you’re coping with grief, these habits can help you remain emotionally and physically resilient. In order to protect your body and maintain your energy levels as you mourn, try to:\n\n Get quality sleep and aim to go to bed and wake up around the same times of the day.\n\n Eat a balanced diet with three healthy meals a day that include proteins, organic fruits, vegetables, and healthy carbs.\nPay attention to your hygiene. It’s important to shower, bathe, and groom yourself regularly so you feel more ready to face the world.\n\n Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day if you can. Even going for a walk can help get your adrenaline pumping and give you a boost of energy. <img> Slowly work on becoming more social again. As you start feeling like you’re moving forward, try to get out of your comfort zone a bit more. Instead of just spending time watching TV with your friend, venture out to a restaurant with a few people, or even go to a small party if you’re feeling up to it. Though you don’t need to force yourself to go out there before you’re ready, prioritize spending time with your loved ones whenever you crave connection.\nRemember, you don’t have to fill your social calendar in order to heal. Even if you just accept a small number of invitations, you’re still making great progress.\nIf you’re normally a social drinker, avoid alcohol until you're feeling more balanced and calm. Alcohol is a depressant, and while it may numb the pain at first, it can actually make you feel more sad shortly after you drink it. <img> Pursue your hobbies and interests. Once you begin to gather your strength, you can go back to activities you love and focus on passions that make you happy. Though you may not feel like watercolor painting, doing yoga, or playing guitar while you're still in the initial shock of grief, you might eventually find yourself missing your favorite pastimes. Set aside at least a few hours each week to do the things you love and let yourself get immersed in them.\nDevoting yourself to something you care about can help you heal because you may feel a strong sense of purpose.\nIf you’re not up to throwing yourself into a passion, be patient with yourself—it's okay to just distract yourself with activities that require less mental effort, like watching TV. <img> Continue to pay tribute to the person’s memory. Look over photos or prized possessions that remind you of them, or just take some contemplative walks while you think about this special person. To honor the individual who was special in your life, make it a tradition to honor your loved one with meaningful rituals.\nOn their birthday, flip through pages in the scrapbook you made.\nDuring the holidays, share funny or heartwarming stories with your relatives.\nEvery year, visit the tree that you planted to represent your love for this person. <img> Search for the joy in life again. This step may seem like it’s the hardest to achieve, but you will be able to do it, especially with support from your loved ones. This doesn’t mean you have to “find closure” or stop thinking about the lost person in order to find happiness. No matter where you are on your healing journey, try to find small moments to appreciate, such as a beautiful sunset to an afternoon spent with a good friend.\nYou may feel like it’s impossible to do this from where you’re standing now, but one day, you’ll see that there’s so much to be thankful for in life.\nIf you take the time to appreciate the little things, from the loving touch of your kitty rubbing against your shin to an amazing home-cooked meal, you’ll be moving toward not only living your life again but also living it to the fullest.\nBe patient with yourself. As long as you take small steps to move forward and nurture yourself, you will be able to feel joy again. <img> "

] | [
"Before the piglets can see you they will be able to hear and smell you, so speak in a soft gentle voice as you approach their area. If possible have a radio tuned into a talk-show so they become comfortable with hearing a human voice. Do not crouch down so that you're on the piglet's level, you may need to move away quickly restricting your ability to move around animals should be avoided if possible. Avoid direct eye contact piglets can feel threatened and frightened, Do not sit on the ground next to the piglet or even lay down in front of the piglet as you put at risk to safely move away approach from the side not the front. Pigs and piglets like to say hello to humans by sniffing a humans hand, your hands should be clean, you must wash your hands after you finished introducing yourself to the piglet.\nAvoid making eye contact with the piglet and speak in a low calm voice. Piglets can be startled by a high pitched or sing song baby voice. <img> Hold your hand out in front of you. Stick out your arm and hold your hand out with your palm facing up and knuckles facing down. Keep in mind that it might take your piglet a while to feel comfortable, especially if you just got him.\nMake sure that the piglet has all of his basic needs met before you try to get him to play. Check to see if he has water, a bed, and food to eat. <img> Wiggle your fingers to get the piglet's attention. The piglet should be looking curiously at your hand, from a distance. You may also consider wiggling a treat or a toy in front of you to get the piglet’s attention.\nTry offering the piglet a piece of fresh fruit or a tennis ball. <img> Call the piglet in a calm, playful voice. Use the piglet’s name if it has one and you know it, or just say, \"here piggy-pig\". You can also try snapping your fingers, and/or making kissing noises to get the piglet’s attention. <img> Keep it up until a piglet approaches. It might take some time for the piglet to feel comfortable enough to approach you, so try to be patient. If the piglet does not seem interested, leave him be and try again in a few hours. <img> Let the piglet sniff your fingertips. He or she will probably try to nibble on your fingers. Be careful because it is possible that the piglet will mistake your fingers for food and bite them. If the piglet starts to nibble a little too hard on your fingers, pull your fingers away.\nKeep a first aid kit handy that includes a bottle of betadine and peroxide just in case you get bit. Clean bites with peroxide then betadine (iodine). You should also make sure that you are current on your tetanus shots before playing with a piglet. <img> Allow the piglet to circle you. If the piglet gets close to you, then he may want to investigate you further before deciding to trust you. Try to stay still while the piglet circles you. Keep in mind that the piglet may try to nibble on your clothes and shoes, especially if they smell like feed. <img> Reach out slowly and put your hand on the piglet's back. Pat and rub the piglet’s back gently. If the piglet runs away, start again at the beginning and repeat the process until the piglet is comfortable being touched by you. <img> Give the piglet a belly rub. Start at the sides of the piglet’s belly and then move in towards the center of his tummy. Rub the piglet vigorously on its stomach and if you're lucky, he or she will tip over in delight.\nRemember to watch your fingers. Even if the piglet is comfortable with you, she may still try to nibble on your fingers if they smell like food or if she gets curious. <img> Play with the piglet as you would play with a puppy. Once the piglet is comfortable with you, you can try playing games with her and introduce some toys as well. Piglets love to play lots of the same games that dogs enjoy. <img> ",
"Create a rooting box. Pigs love to root around in the mud for roots and other tasty treats. If you have an indoor pig, then you can create a place for your piglet to root in your home by making a rooting box.\nTo make a rooting box, place some fist-sized rocks into a large wide box and then add some treats, such as dry cereal and popcorn for your pig to root around and find. It is important to use only fist-size or larger rocks in a rooting box or your pig may accidentally inhale them. <img> Make a mud pit. Pigs love to roll around in mud. If you keep your pigs outdoors, then you might consider making a small mud pit for your piglets to enjoy. Add some water to a patch of dry dirt to create mud and then lead you piglet over to the mud so she can investigate it.\nYou might also consider filling a kiddie pool with a bit of water for your piglet to cool off. Make sure that the water is not too deep. Your piglet may not know how to swim yet. <img> Play fetch. Pigs enjoy interactive games such as fetch, so try tossing a stick, a tennis ball, or a Frisbee to see if your piglet will retrieve it. It might take him a few tries to get the idea, but once he figures out what you want him to do he should start to bring the item back again and again.\nPiglets also enjoy pushing balls around with their noses. Try giving your piglet a big bouncy ball or beach ball to push around her pen or around the house if she is an indoor pig. <img> Give your piglet some newspaper. Pigs also like to shred paper, so your piglet might enjoy having a few sheets of newspaper now and then. Try laying out a few pages and then let the piglet investigate them.\nYou can also try giving your piglet cardboard boxes, magazines, and other types of paper to shred. <img> Swap toys often. Pigs are intelligent animals, so like dogs, they get bored by playing with the same toys over and over again. Try to swap out your piglet’s toys once every few days to ensure that she will always be entertained. <img> "

"A Venus in Cancer man is gentle, sensitive, and romantic. Cancer is ruled by the moon, the planet of feeling and intuition. It guides your deepest needs and desires, so a guy whose Venus sign falls under Cancer will be extra empathetic and nurturing (particularly toward people he cares for). He can be cautious at the start of a relationship, but he loves with all his heart once he falls.\nCancer is a water sign, therefore known for intense emotions, sentimentality, and intuitive abilities. <img> ",
"Nurturing A Venus in Cancer guy’s deep sense of empathy and desire for comfort means that he’s naturally quite nurturing towards others. He loves nothing more than offering support and being a caretaker for those he loves. Venus in Cancer is always willing to perform an act of kindness or get someone a gift to show how much he cares!\nLet your Venus in Cancer guy take care of you and emotionally support you. Don’t be afraid to ask him for help! It’s not an imposition; he’ll jump at the chance to care for you if you let him. <img> Sensitive A Venus in Cancer guy’s sensitivity can be both a blessing and a source of emotional turmoil. On the one hand, it means he’s incredibly intuitive to the feelings of those around him; it’s easy for Venus in Cancer to pick up on what you’re feeling and understand you in a way few others will. On the other hand, he can also be moody because his feelings are so delicate.\nFor example, without plenty of affirmations to keep his spirits up, it’s easy for a sensitive Venus in Cancer to become jealous or sad.\nHowever, he’ll never express those emotions aggressively. Instead, he’ll likely withdraw and suffer in silence, leaving you to pick up on how he’s feeling and talk to him about it.\n\nShowing appreciation for him and concern for his well-being is the best way to get a Venus in Cancer guy to open up and get over his moodiness when it strikes. <img> Loyal When it comes to family, friendships, and romantic partners, a Venus in Cancer man is as loyal as they come. He’s the type to stay in touch with the people who matter most to him, often checking up on his friends and devotedly visiting his family. He’s also the type to remain unwaveringly faithful in a relationship; his loyalty is so absolute that the idea of cheating just won’t occur to him.\nVenus in Cancer wishes for nothing more than his loyalty to be reciprocated. He wants to surround himself with people who care for him as much as he cares in return! <img> Family-Oriented Family is everything to a Venus in Cancer men. He tends to have more traditional values, the most important of which is a deep love and desire for family. A Venus in Cancer guy will likely be extremely close with his family, particularly his mother. He’ll always be happy to talk about them! He’ll also most likely want his own family sooner or later.\nVenus in Cancer is especially attracted to people who share his family values.\nAsk him about his family often! He’ll appreciate your concern and regard for them. <img> ",
"A Venus in Cancer man builds his relationships from the ground up. In other words, this sign is cautious. He won’t jump into a relationship until he feels safe doing so. He likes to take things step by step and move slowly in order to build trust in his potential partner before he lets his guard down and fully embraces the new relationship.\nA Venus in Cancer guy actually falls in love quite fast. Because he knows how quickly his feelings can develop, he’ll take things slow to protect himself.\nTell him directly that you’re interested in a committed relationship. Venus in Cancer typically doesn’t like flings, so showing interest in true romance will set his heart at ease.\nYou could say, “I’m ready to find someone I can settle down with,” or, “I’m looking for a serious relationship with someone I can really trust.” This will signal to a Venus in Cancer guy that your needs align with his. <img> Guys born under this Venus sign are protective. Venus in Cancer values safety and comfort. Thus, he can be extremely protective of the people he loves and his own emotional well-being. A Venus in Cancer guy will be the first to step in and help if you need help! He’s also cautious around new people because he instinctively protects himself from getting hurt.\nLike his animal symbol, the crab, a Venus in Cancer man surrounds himself with a tough, protective shell.\nThis protective shell might even make a Venus in Cancer man seem aloof at first, but he’s really just taking his time to see if he can trust you.\nHowever, he’ll be unable to hide his need to look out for you. His protective instincts mean he’s the type of guy to walk you home, stick close to you in a busy area, or defend you in a conversation. <img> A Venus in Cancer man is romantic and affectionate. In fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a sweeter partner than a Venus in Cancer! His fondest wish is to love and be loved; he’ll delight in caring for you, making romantic gestures to prove his love, and giving you plenty of verbal and physical affection when the two of you have a little alone time.\nDespite his flair for romance, Venus in Cancer can also be a little insecure in love. He may even become clingy and overly dependent because he’s unsure of where he stands with you.\nTell your Venus in Cancer guy how much he means to you (and how much you love him). His insecurities may lessen when he gets reassurance from you. <img> Venus in Cancer men are sensitive and sweet in bed. As one of the most romantic zodiac signs, Venus in Cancer tends to blend love and physical intimacy. This man will only jump into bed with someone when he shares a strong emotional connection with them already. He’s willing to share his desires with a partner he trusts completely.\nDon’t be afraid to ask your Venus in Cancer what he likes if you’re unsure. He might be a little hesitant initially, but if you’re open and upfront with him, he’ll learn to do the same with you.\nFor example, you might say, “I really like it when you run your hands through my hair. Is there something I do that you particularly like?” <img> ",
"Take your time and build up a friendship with him first. A Venus in Cancer guy needs to take his time at the beginning of a relationship, so the best thing you can do for him is to be patient. He’ll feel infinitely better about getting close to you if there’s no pressure on him. Be there for him, show him that you like him, but let him initiate a relationship on his own—and focus on being his friend in the meantime.\nCancer is a cardinal sign. This means he’s a natural leader and go-getter. As cautious as he can be, Venus in Cancer still wants to be the initiator when it comes to relationships!\nWhile you’re waiting for him to do this, remain a consistent presence in his life. Spend one-on-one time getting to know him and his interests so he can gradually open up to you. <img> Show him your vulnerable and emotional side. A Venus in Cancer guy craves an emotional connection in a relationship. He’s looking for a partner who isn’t afraid to open up and sincerely express their hopes, fears, and deepest secrets. By expressing your feelings and showing vulnerability, you’re building that connection—and that’s what will win him over for good.\nDon’t wait for him to do this first. Establish a sense of security with your cautious Venus in Cancer guy! Letting your guard down first will help him do the same.\nSignal to him that you want to talk by saying something like, “I really need to get something off my chest. Can we talk?” or “Something’s been on my mind and I’d really like to get your thoughts. Got a few minutes?”\nWhen you’re ready, try telling him about a mistake you made, or a secret you don’t want anyone else but him to know. Work on sharing your feelings as they happen, too, rather than bottling them up for later. <img> Be supportive and nurturing towards him. As much as a Venus in Cancer guy likes taking care of his family, friends, and significant others, he also secretly yearns to have this care returned. He wants to feel supported and taken care of in moments of need! Make home a safe place for him, go out of your way to cheer him up when he’s down, and make thoughtful gestures to show him how much you care.\nHome is important to an introverted Venus in Cancer guy. He needs a sanctuary that will make him feel safe and comforted. By turning your home into a sanctuary, you’ll ensure that he always feels comfortable with you.\nIf he’s in a mood, try to make him smile! Compliment him and maintain a calm, positive attitude. He’ll love that you can show him the bright side of any situation.\nThoughtful gestures could include anything from gifts to physical affection! It’s also a good idea to show off your homemaking skills; cook him a homemade meal or even ask him to cook with you. <img> ",
"Water signs and earth signs are the best matches for Venus in Cancer. Since Cancer is a water sign, people whose Venus is also a water sign (like Pisces, Scorpio, or another Cancer) can perfectly understand a Venus in Cancer man’s needs and desires. Earth signs like Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus also mesh well with Venus in Cancer guys; they’ll share an emotionally satisfying relationship.\nTypically, Venus in Cancer guys are least compatible with fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) and air signs (Libra, Gemini, and Aquarius).\nFire signs are a little too brash and energetic for sensitive Venus in Cancer men. Air signs clash with Venus in Cancer because they tend to be more logical than emotional. <img> "

How to Persuade an Atheist to Become Christian | [

"Look at your reasoning. Why do you want to convert this person? Be honest with yourself. How do you feel about atheists, and why do you feel that converting an atheist person would be a good idea? Do you want to have a dialogue, or a one-sided conversation in which they admit you're right? Are you able to make peace with it if they say no?\n\nAre you simply wanting to be close to them? Try non-religious ways to hang out with the person, like taking walks, going to parks, or attending non-religious events such as concerts.\n\nAre you worried about whether they're going to Heaven? Atheists can be good people who do things that God admires, so beware of painting them as less than or more sinful than you. We are all wretched sinners, deserving of eternal punishment, but the difference is that you have chosen to live in the grace of God.\n\nAre you wanting them to admit that you are right and they are wrong? This is a foolish and prideful reason to try and \"convert\" someone. Spend some serious time in prayer while examining your heart before you move any further. They will also not respond well to being \"proven\" wrong rather than a gentle and live-it-out approach, so don't waste your time.\n\nAre you looking for an open-ended discussion that may or may not result in conversion? This may go well. Ask if they're open to it. <img> Consider each of your actions and their consequences. Trying to convince someone of your beliefs may cause them not to like you, and may even impact your relationship. Be mindful of how your behavior affects others, and seek to speak the truth in love rather than prove yourself right. Remember, no one has ever been argued into the kingdom of Heaven. \nBe cautious about jeopardizing work relationships. Proselytizing at work could get in the way of a peaceful work environment.\nRemember that Christlike love does not necessarily equal all-encompassing approval. You can allow them to believe what they want to believe, however, stand firm. You do not have to adopt their beliefs or affirm their sin in order to effectively love them. Even if they believe in something you know is wrong, don't try to condemn them. State your opinion in love. If/when they begin a relationship with the Lord, He and He alone will be responsible for changing their anti-biblical beliefs or practices.\nInviting people to join you may sometimes be appropriate. Pestering rarely is. If they say no after you invite them to a religious thing once or twice, stop asking. <img> Judge not. Atheists can still be good people who do good things and reap the benefits of their goodness. Good values aren't exclusive to Christianity, or to any religion at all. (however, access to God and the gift of the Holy Spirit, the fruits of the Spirit, and entry into heaven are). Recognize atheism may simply be what makes them happy.\nAlthough we have a caring and loving God who delights when we serve Him, our good deeds are filthy rags in His holy sight and they cannot help us earn our way into heaven (Isaiah 64:6). He, being rich in mercy, paved us the way to Him through His Son, who took the punishment that we ourselves recieved. Nothing we do can \"earn\" us into heaven since we are, by nature, sinful.\nCatholics may want to keep in mind that Pope Francis has said that atheists can go to heaven if they have a \"good heart.\" (Take note that this is contrary to the Protestant Christian belief that we are saved by grace, through faith alone, with our works as \"filthy rags\"). <img> Consider why the person is an atheist. Different atheists have different reasons why they aren't religious. Some are unsure about the decision, which means they might be open to hearing your perspective, while others are certain about what they want and what they believe.\n\nThey think there's no logical reason to believe in God. These people are driven by logic, so convincing them to base decisions on faith is unlikely to work.\n\nThey never understood the appeal of religion. Sometimes, they'll be open to learning more, but other times, they won't feel like it's a good time. Avoid rushing them.\n\nThey were hurt by the church, or see the church hurting others. People who see the church causing harm (e.g., covering up sexual abuse or bullying LGBT+ people) may question whether religious institutions are truly good. Some people are open to finding churches that better embrace good values, while others leave religion for good. It depends on the person.\n\nThey are angry at God for allowing bad things to happen. This can happen after personal trauma. Sometimes, they return to faith after seeing the good in life, and other times, they break from religion forever. It is important to give them time to process, without trying to push them. <img> Consider whether your arguments are rational or faith-based. Someone who has based their decisions purely on rationality is unlikely to be swayed by emotional reasoning.\nIt's okay to make decisions based on emotion and faith. If you feel that Christianity gives your life spiritual meaning, emotional comfort, or a sense of community, then that is a good enough reason to be Christian! Just remember that not everyone has had or is receptive to accounts of encounters like that, so do not use your personal testimony as the sole backing for your faith. <img> Put yourself in your friend's shoes. Consider how you would respond, if someone were attempting to persuade you to reject your salvation in Christ. You would want them to listen if you were to say \"no\" to them, and accept it if you didn't agree with them at the end. Speak to them the way you'd want to be spoken to.\nNobody wants to be judged. Speak from a place of Christlike love and friendship, not judgment. Keep your kindness unconditional, even if you disagree. <img> Focus on living in peace with someone who is determined to be an atheist. This is their choice to make, and you should not waste your time trying to fight it. Instead, show them unconditional kindness and friendship, without trying to change them.",
"Choose a good place and time. The conversation should be one-on-one, and it should be during a relaxed time when nobody needs to hurry to go somewhere else. It should happen in a private or semi-private place, like at home, at a coffee shop, at a park, or during a walk around the neighborhood.\nYou don't want to make someone feel embarrassed, blindsided, or trapped. If they look awkward, drop the idea. <img> Bring up the subject and ask if they're interested. This allows them to gracefully decline if they would prefer not to talk about it and gives them an opportunity to start expressing their thoughts and ideas if they are in the mood. Some people feel awkward or uncomfortable talking about religion, especially since religious discussion can result in heated debates or hurt feelings.\nFor example, you could say \"I've been thinking a lot about religion lately, and I was wondering if you feel like talking about it.\"\nRespond gracefully if they say no. Don't push. If they say no to you several different times, assume it means that they are very shy about religion and don't like talking about it, so it's best to stop asking. <img> Keep your mind and heart open at all times. If the person feels ambushed or attacked, they'll shut down and have no interest in what you have to say. Thus, try to keep an open and friendly tone, without pressure for them to act a certain way. You want them to be comfortable with you. <img> Know when it's best to leave it alone. Not every atheist is open to being converted, and it's important to make peace with this. Don't whine, wheedle, or browbeat your way through a conversation that someone else doesn't want to have.\nIf someone says \"I don't like talking about religion,\" then stop bringing up religion.\nIf you offer to talk about religion a few times, and they say no each time, that pattern may mean something. Stop bringing it up, or ask \"I've noticed that you've declined each time I asked you about religion. Is it a topic you're uncomfortable with?\" Then stop if they say yes. <img> ",
"Tell your friend what your Christianity means to you. Explain how religion has influenced your life, both for you as a person and for your relationships in the world around you. You like being part of a community centered on good values.\nYou appreciate the reminder to be your best self.\nYou feel that religion helps you connect to a higher purpose.\nYou find that the concept of an afterlife comforting. Don't try to debate about logic or the Bible. Believing in God is a fundamentally illogical choice because you are choosing to have faith in a power beyond what you know. It's a leap of the heart. It's best to acknowledge this and focus on the emotional power of faith.\nMany Christians have very different relationships with the Bible, and you may be quite knowledgeable about Bible study and the history of the document. Conversely, many Christians emphasize a personal relationship with Christ as the fundamental aspect of their being blessed in Christ.\nSome atheists refuse to believe in things they don't have evidence for. Chalk it up to a difference in priorities, and agree to disagree. <img> Take time to truly listen to them and understand where they're coming from. You don't just want to lecture them. Ask about their experiences, ideas, and opinions. Accept that they're coming from a different place than you are.\nDon't make assumptions about how they feel about atheism. Not all atheists are \"angry\" at God, lapsed believers, or are upset about their lack of belief. Listen to how they say they feel, and believe them. <img> Be kind. Avoid condemnations or threats of hellfire. This is likely to drive a person away from faith (and you). Share the best of Christianity instead of pushing negativity. Let them see the good in religion. <img> Let your friend ask questions and express their own opinions. Your friend may be curious about your beliefs, especially if they weren't raised as a Christian. And if this person feels comfortable with you, this will lead to questioning and challenging you. The less defensive you are, the more reasonable you seem. Be comfortable in your faith in God and remain calm. If you're having fun, the other person will, too.\nIf your friend constantly wants to discuss Biblical fallacies, or \"Can God make a mountain God can't move?\" types of questions, don't engage in debate. All you need to say is \"That's not possible to know, and I'm comfortable with that. It doesn't make me any less of a believer.\" <img> ",
"Walk the walk. This is the most crucially important step in \"converting\" others. If you're going to talk a big game about how great your life as a Christian is, you've got to prove it with your actions. Demonstrate love with your own life. The Bible tells us not to try and entice people with words, but to demonstrate the Spirit and power. Some atheists are atheists because of their often-justified perception that Christians are hypocritical. But you know they're not all that way. Prove it.\nDon't limit your kindness to your prayers. Go out, help others, make friends, and be there for people who are having a hard time.\nEven if your friend has declined conversations about faith and is determined to stay an atheist, do not stop being Christlike. Sometimes, that is exactly what it takes; to shut up and start living like Jesus did. <img> Invite your friend to come with you to church. The best way to introduce atheists to your religion is by treating it like you would any social function. Emphasize the fellowship and the camaraderie, and invite them to a non-service function, like a dinner or a cookout.\nIf you invite an atheist to a religious function, tell them that it is a religious function. Don't try to trick someone into attending by pretending that it is not.\nRespect a \"no.\" Not everyone is open to changing their minds about religion, so don't try to force things. <img> Be patient. See if this person develops any interest in attending your place of worship. You may extend an invitation to attend church with you, but it would be best if your friend comes along due to their own curiosity, feeling comfortable and in control. Don't push too hard. The more your friend has to come to you, the more invested they'll be in the result.\nChange must come from within. You can't motivate someone to become Christian. They must want it for themselves. <img> Recognize when to let go. Not every atheist can be convinced to become a Christian. If a person is resistant to the idea, don't waste your time by pushing more and more. Instead, let it go. They will come back to you (or another Christian) if they change their mind. Focus on ways you can make a real difference in other ways. <img> Keep any prayers for your friend private. Like Jesus, pray with the door closed. If you tell an unhappy atheist that you will pray for them, they may feel insulted, because of the unsaid implication that you are praying for them to change their minds. If God chooses to answer your prayer, it will happen whether the atheist knows about it or not. <img> "

How to Become a Police Officer | [
"gGs4go9wyRlj",
"Nnl6KDGMalUB",
"QCwuafYW9Vtp"
] | [
"Meet the basic requirements. Police Officers are expected to be good role models for their community, this means you shouldn't have any history of criminal activity or test positive for illegal drugs in your urine sample (this includes cannabis regardless if it is legal in your state). There was a myth that police departments rarely hire candidates without a military background. Fortunately, that myth is dead. If you do not want to enlist in the military, you should get a four-year college degree if you wish to be very competitive in the hiring process.\nThe minimum age will vary but most police departments set it at 21.\nThe maximum age in most police departments is 35, though an extension may be given to veterans who have served for at least two years and have been honorably discharged.\nMost police departments only require a high school diploma or GED, but you should get a four-year college degree (Bachelor's or equivalent) because police recruiters value candidates with higher education, and you are likely to get a raise or be promoted quickly.\nHaving military service is also a bonus. If you were honorably discharged, it will be very compelling to police recruiters but if you were dishonorably discharged, you can try to not mention it but if they ask, be honest. <img> Make sure your record is clean. Police officers are expected to act as role models in their communities, and any crimes committed prior to becoming an officer can disqualify you. Avoid using illegal drugs, drinking alcohol to excess, and associating with criminals. All of these behaviors can make it tougher to get a job as a police officer when it comes time to apply.\nHaving a felony conviction, a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction, or a conviction for a crime related in any way to race (a hate crime) disqualifies you from being able to pursue a career as a police officer in most jurisdictions.\nIf you were convicted of a crime as a juvenile, you should know police departments can still see your juvenile record regardless if it is sealed or expunged so be honest about any crime you committed before the age of 18. While staying out of trouble may be life compelling experience, any conviction, including a past juvenile record, will be used against you. <img> Start building good credit. When you apply to become a police officer, the department will run a credit check as part of your background check, and you will be penalized if your score is low. To build good credit, avoid accumulating debt, and pay your bills on time. Get a credit check now so you know exactly what financial state you are in.\nIf you don't have good credit, take steps toward building it back up. Even if your credit score is low, the efforts you make to attain better credit will show that you're a responsible person. <img> Develop a strong work background. Having work experience helps prepare you for the long hours and strict requirements of a police officer job, and it also gives you an edge over applicants with no experience. Your job experience doesn't have to be related to law enforcement, although that can help; any work experience that shows you're responsible and capable of doing a job well will help.\nConsider taking a job that requires you to interact with the public. Police officers need excellent communication skills.\nOther government jobs, such as a job at your local state park, can give you a sense of what it's like to work as part of a law enforcement team.\nSome choose to join the military service for a year or two before joining the police force, as this prepares them physically and mentally for the duties of a cop. However, military service doesn’t exempt you from police academy in most jurisdictions. <img> Get physically fit. Police officers have to have quick reflexes, the ability to run short or long distances, and the strength to detain suspects. You'll have to pass a physical agility test to qualify for becoming a police officer, so start working out now to make sure you're in your best physical shape. Join a gym, work with a personal trainer, or just start running every day to get yourself in shape. <img> Go on ride-alongs whenever possible. Police officers are a familiar sight around communities and in the media, but in order to really understand what its like to be a police officer, you have to spend time on the job with one. Most police departments allow citizens to ride along with cops, so take advantage of the opportunity as often as you can!\nTo schedule a ride-along, contact your local police department. <img> ",
"Graduate from high school. Alternatively, you can pass the General Education Development (GED) exam. Virtually all police departments require their officers to at least have a GED or High School Diploma. <img> Consider higher education. Having a college degree is not a requirement for getting hired by most police departments, but it can help to have even a few years of education in a related field, especially if you plan to later become a detective or hold an administrative position. Law enforcement, criminal justice, or even pre-law are all good majors for prospective police.\nSome departments provide tuition assistance to offers pursuing a degree. <img> Choose a police academy to attend. If you have a particular department in mind, choose that department’s police academy. If you are open to moving around in the future, whichever police academy is closest or offers the most flexible hours will be fine.\nNot all departments have their own police academies. Be sure to check with yours first.\nPolice academies are usually part-time but some may be full-time.\nTuition depends on location, but be prepared to spend several thousand USD. <img> Take the police academy screening test. Most police academies require applicants to pass a screening test before they can be admitted. The actual contents of the test depends on the jurisdiction, but expect to be asked questions that focus on your judgement, ethics, racial and gender biases, and other critical issues that police officers have to contend with. Some police academies require psychological screening tests. <img> Attend police academy. All potential police officers attend police academy for training. Large police departments usually have their own police academies, while smaller departments send potential police officers to academies in larger cities. Training usually lasts for about 6 months, and includes courses in a variety of areas, including:\nFirst aid/CPR\nState, federal, and local laws\nFirearm use\nPatrol procedures\nEthics\nInvestigation and report writing\nCriminal law\nLeadership <img> Pass examinations. Each department has different examinations you must pass in order to become a police officer. Examinations are usually administered to test your competence in the subjects and skills you studied in police academy. In addition to written tests, you will have to pass a practical exam that tests you in a hands-on scenario. <img> ",
"Look for open police jobs. Find out whether there are openings at your local police department. If there aren't, you may need to apply for jobs in other towns or cities. Consider factors such as location, cost of living, and crime rate when applying for police jobs.\nMost police jobs are not publicly advertised. Call your local department for openings.\nApplications vary by department, but most of them are long and complex. Be prepared to wait for months after applying to jobs. <img> Pass the department screening tests. Many departments have their own screening tests that are required before an interview. These tests are likely to focus on your ethical and psychological attitudes towards topics such as domestic violence, police brutality, racial bias, and mental illness. <img> Pass background and drug tests. It’s common for departments to administer drug and background tests before the interview even takes place, so be prepared to provide the necessary information with little warning. You may need to provide a hair or urine sample, a copy of your credit report, and full biographical information.\nBe sure to tell the department beforehand if there is any reason you may not pass a test. For example, if you have recently purchased a house, your credit score might not be accurate. <img> Excel during your interview. If you are asked for an interview, do your best! Competition can often be steep for jobs in good departments. Bring your resume along, dress professionally, and make it clear that you have the right values and skills to become a police officer.\nA police officer’s resume should contain their education, police academy training, work or military history, and any volunteer experience that might be relevant.\nBe assertive. This is an important quality for a police officer to have. If you're feeling nervous in the days leading up to the interview, do a practice interview with a friend or family member to help build up your confidence.\nBe honest. Don't lie about past crimes you have committed or mistakes you have made. Honesty and integrity are of utmost importance in police work.\nBe prepared to discuss sensitive issues, such as police brutality. <img> Begin training. Accepting a job offer is only the first part of becoming a real cop! Most departments require extensive training before you’ll be allowed to operate independently. Attend the necessary training and courses required to help you learn how to do your job well. <img> "

How to Get in a Proper Boxing Stance | [
"AZS2XqpIzDpg",
"Pt3ZooKOdYap"
] | [
"Start with your hips parallel with the ground. Make sure you feel solid over both feet.\nIf your hips are tilted then your already in an improper boxing stance. If you don't feel solid over both feet then you're in an improper stance. <img> Step forward with your non-dominant foot. Stand so your dominant foot is slightly back and your non-dominant foot is in front. For instance, if you're right-handed, your left foot should be in front.\nDon't put your foot directly in a straight line with each other. Also, don't cross your feet, or you'll be unbalanced.\nKeep your rear heel raised. <img> Keep your feet only shoulder-width apart. If your feet are too wide you will be locked in that position; if your feet are too close together then you will be off balance and easily knocked over. Your front leg should be stiff and your back leg bent. You can however be to wide for more power or your feet some what close for more speed, in punching. Adjust as needed. <img> Position your feet at an angle. Turn both of your feet so they're turned in at about 45°. You can adjust the degrees of your feet position for your comfort just a little. Your back foot can be pointed directly to the side, if you're more comfortable this way. <img> Keep your hands up and your elbows down. Once your feet are set, lift your hands to keep them near your face. Your non-dominant hand should be forward—the hand that's on the same time as your front foot. Also, keep your elbows really close to your ribs. <img> ",
"Widen your stance to be more defensive. Stand wide with your front toe in line, cutting off your rear heal and widening your triangular stance. With this wide stance your upper body will be a small target. You may adjust this stance to your comfort. In this stance, your front 'shoulder will be pointing to your opponent. This wide stance will take some percentage off your offense power and some percentage off your balance. You will have more percentage towards your defense and take some percentage off your offense. This stance is not wrong. This stance would be more for the jabbing range, long range. <img> Keep a more square stance to give your offense full potential. This can be called shorting or making the triangular stance shorter instead of longer. Keep in mind that in this stance you will give up some percentage of your defense by squaring up your shoulders and giving some percentage to your offense. You will be in perfect balance. This stance is perfect for close range fighting, as you need to be in perfect balance at close range hook and uppercut range. This stance will give you also mobility to slip and to have power. <img> Balance both offense and defense with a compromise stance. You front shoulder should be in line with your front heal; your front foot should be about 25 degrees inward adjust as need for comfort. Your rear foot should be pointed directly at your opponent. Adjust as need for your comfort. Use this stance at close range. Keep in mind that your front toe and your rear heal should be about six inches apart from each other. This stance will give you good balance at close range. Widen or shorten your feet as needed. Widen for power; shorten for speed. <img> Adjust as needed in order for your hips to turn properly. You need your front leg to be stiff but not completely locked. It's a bit like a pole/hinge of a gate in the ground, so you can turn your hips properly when punching with the rear hand.\nIf you're punching with the lead hook your rear leg should be stiff but not locked, like a pole in the ground. <img> Keep your weight balanced. Your weight should be 50 percent on one foot and 50 percent on the other foot. Doing this will aid you in moving on your footwork. This will help you move more effectively with your weight evenly distributed adjust as needed.\nTo move more effectively have your weight on the balls of your feet. If you want your weight to be on the heel of your front foot, keep your front leg stiff with the bones in your leg lined up. If your front leg is bent, you will have your weight across your entire front foot instead of your weight just on your heel, which can feel more balanced. <img> "

How to Improve Car Radio Reception | [
"yxN5q3nCUIkl",
"iiRdvbeGrj2n"
] | [
"Make sure your antenna is extended. Unlike with portable radios, many of us don't really pay attention to our car's antenna. However, car radio antennas can be retracted. The antenna is what amplifies the signal in the first place, so you can imagine how this would effect your reception.\nIf you get a car wash, make sure no one forgot to extend the antenna after retracting it for the wash. Keep in mind that anything could push down the antenna, even someone accidentally bumping it while walking by. <img> Try replacing the antenna. A bad antenna could also be the cause of your poor radio reception. It's possible that gradually overtime the connection between the antenna and the car got damaged in some way such as rusting. In this case, replacing the antenna could solve the problem.\nMake sure its the same type of antenna that was previously on your car. Cars can have different antennas.\nThe antenna is the most important factor of radio reception behind your actual location, so you should focus on it. <img> Make sure the wires connecting the antenna aren't damaged. If replacing the antenna didn't help, then it could be that the wires carrying the signal are damaged. Try twisting the antenna while listening to a station.\nIf the signal keeps dropping and coming back in, tighten the antenna and get the wire connections fixed. <img> Try switching your car stereo to \"mono\" mode. Many cars will probably not have this as an option, but if yours does, it could be responsible for slightly better reception in another car. If you don't see this option, your car is probably doing it automatically.\nWhile stereo reception is fine for strong stations, it can actually increase noise with a weaker station. If the station is weak, you may notice it coming in better when you switch to mono. <img> See if the car's stereo system is bad. While your car's head unit is probably pretty sturdy, that doesn't mean it couldn't have become damaged. If you continue to have bad reception despite effort, check to see if the radio itself has gone bad.\nYou should get a new stereo system if your current one has gone bad. It will be much cheaper than repairing the current one. <img> Check to see if part of your car is causing interference. Cars come with all sorts of different parts, some of which may be causing interference to your radio. A mechanic can check and see which parts may be leading to interference. This is different than a portable radio, where the only real sources of interference are other objects.\nThings like the engine and the alternator are common culprits. <img> ",
"Try using a website that looks for radio stations nearby you. A good way to see whether the problem is you or that you are far away from the station is to use a website. These websites will tell you both the location of stations and their strength where you are located.\nRadio-locator.com is one good option for locating stations. <img> Understand that reception may be poor in an urban or mountainous region. If there are large objects in between you and the transmitter that block FM radio waves, your reception will be impacted. In this case, the only way to really get around the problem is a good quality radio and antenna.\nLocation is said to be one of the most important factors of radio reception. <img> Check using a car with good reception. If you feel you are having problems picking up a certain station, check using another car that isn't having a problem. If that car can't easily pick it up, your car probably won't be able to. A weak signal is a weak signal no matter what.\nRadio stations are required to broadcast at a certain strength. They can't just start broadcasting with a stronger signal. <img> Check to see if a nearby station that's more powerful is affecting the signal. If you have a local station that's strong and operating on a close frequency to what you want to pick up, your radio will probably lock onto that station. This is just how the digital radio works.\nThe only solution to this really is an analog radio, and car stereos don't usually have analog radios unfortunately. <img> "

"Keep things casual and bring up positive memories at the same time. Tell your ex-girlfriend you passed by her favorite restaurant, heard her go-to karaoke song, or saw a meme she would’ve loved. This type of message is low stakes because you’re not asking for anything or bringing in any expectations.\n“I got lunch at Fambrini’s the other day and it made me think of you. How are you?”\n“I know it’s been a bit since we last talked, but I just had to share this meme I knew you’d love.”\n“Thought of you yesterday when ‘Dancing Queen’ came on. What have you been up to?”\nSmartphones sometimes bring up \"memory\" photos from the past. That could be a great thing to send over to her. <img> ",
"Reach out about a recent event, and your text won't seem random. Congratulating your ex-girlfriend on a change or accomplishment shows that you still care, whether you’re looking to reconnect as friends or something more. Once you’ve broken the ice, you can easily keep the conversation going with open-ended follow-up questions.\n“Congrats on the big promotion—you deserve it. How’re you feeling now that you’re the boss?”\n“Hey, I heard you finally moved to Chicago! How do you like city life?”\nIf she doesn’t have any major life updates, bring up a smaller update you’ve seen social media like, “Hey, I saw the pic from your niece’s recital. She’s gotten so big! How old is she now?” <img> ",
"Ask for basic information to prevent your text from feeling out of the blue. It can feel awkward to reach out if you haven’t talked in months, or maybe even years. By asking a straightforward, non-personal question, you keep things lighthearted. Plus, you’re more likely to get a response. After you exchange a couple of casual texts, ask to meet up or talk so you can reconnect.\n“Rylee! I know this is weird, but what was the name of that Portuguese restaurant downtown?”\n“Hey, hope you’re well. Do you still have the recipe for the amazing vegetarian casserole you made?”\n“Hi! Is there any chance you have Tommy’s number from high school?” <img> ",
"Rather than just saying “What’s up?” ask specific questions about her life. Specific questions tend to be better because they show you’re genuinely interested in how your she’s doing. Try this approach if you’re wondering what your ex is up to or checking to see if she’s willing to be friends.\n“I just realized it’s college admissions season. Has your sister chosen a school?!”\n“Hey! I wanted to ask how apartment hunting went. Did you find a good place?”\n“I was thinking about planning a trip to Japan. Did you end up going last summer?” <img> ",
"Send a thoughtful message, then leave the ball in her court. Show her she still has an impact on your life and hint that you miss her by mentioning something she recommended to you. If she sends a short text back, she might not be interested in reconnecting. But if she responds positively and nostalgically, you might have a shot at re-establishing a friendship or relationship.\n“I tried Ghanian food last night. You were right, it’s incredible. Hope you’re having fun in Portland.”\n“I went to a sports bar with some buddies the other night and they were impressed at my Raiders trivia knowledge. I told them it was all thanks to you. I hope you’re doing well.”\n“You were right about South San Francisco. They have surprisingly good sushi. Hope you’re not missing it too much living in Colorado.” <img> ",
"It's okay to be direct and tell her you care if things ended amicably. After you’ve gone no contact and given her time to heal, open the door to friendship. It’s completely normal to want to stay a part of someone’s life, especially since you were so close. Tell her there’s no pressure, and respect her decision if she ultimately says “no.”\n“I know things didn’t work out, but I miss being friends with you. Let me know if and when you want to talk.”\n“Hey! I wanted to tell you that I’m still here for you. I’ll always be your friend.”\n“No pressure, but I still care about you, and I’d love to be friends if you’re down.” <img> ",
"Suggest a meetup in person if you’re serious about reconnecting. It’ll be easier to talk about rekindling a friendship or relationship if you two can communicate in real-time. Suggest a low-key activity like a walk or quick coffee, and see if she’s interested.\n“Hey—I’d love to catch up if you’re in town. Would you want to go on a walk sometime?”\n“Hi, Samantha! Are you free for coffee on Sunday? 100% no pressure, and this would be just as friends.”\n“Hey, you just crossed my mind the other day. How would you feel about grabbing coffee and catching up sometime this week?” <img> ",
"You might need to apologize before you can reconnect. Despite your best intentions, you might’ve emotionally hurt your girlfriend. Send her a sincere apology that owns up to past mistakes. Then, ask if she’s willing to talk through things. If and when you do meet up, give her time to process what you’ve said before asking for a second chance.\n“I messed things up with us. I’m so sorry and it’s so clear to me now. Could we meet up so I can apologize in person?”\n“I know it’s years later, but I still can’t believe how I treated you. I took you for granted, and I know that now. Would you be willing to talk so we can clear the air?”\n“I understand if I’m the last person you want to hear from. But I’m so genuinely sorry for how I acted when we were together. Could I buy you a coffee and apologize?” <img> ",
"Ask her how she feels about the way things ended. Who knows? Your ex might miss you as much as you miss her. Once you get a sense of where her head’s at, decide whether it seems appropriate to ask to meet up or give your relationship a second chance. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way, you’ll get a chance to get some closure and move on.\n“Do you ever miss when we were together? To be totally honest, I do.”\n“I know this is a lot, but I still have feelings for you. Is there any chance you feel the same way?”\n“Hey, I’ve been missing you lately. Do you ever miss what we had?” <img> ",
"Be straightforward about your intentions if you think she’ll be open to a relationship. But before you press send, check in with your own motivations. Do you want to get back together because you’re looking for familiarity and comfort or because the relationship itself was a positive thing in your life? Once you know why you're reaching out, hit send and see what she has to say.\n“I miss cooking dinner with you and even doing laundry together. I miss pretty much everything about you. Would you give us a second chance?\"\n“Hey, I miss you and I miss being with you. I’ve changed and grown a lot over the last few months. Would you be willing to give it another shot?”\n“I know things didn’t end the way either of us wanted. I’ve been doing a ton of reflection this past year. If you’re willing to try again, let me know.”\n\"Hey, I'm interested in rekindling what we had, or seeing if there's still a spark there. Would you like to have a drink sometime?\" <img> ",
"Send this text if you want to get closure. Even if you’re not looking to get back together, talking about why things ended can help you heal. Studies even show that understanding what led to a breakup can help lessen the negative effects of the breakup on your current self-esteem and future love life.\n“I know it’s over between us, but I’d like to talk through some things so we can both heal. You know where to find me if you’re willing to talk.”\n“Hey, I know it’s been a while. But I feel like we left a lot of things unsaid, and I’d love to give us the chance to get closure. Let me know if you’d like to talk.”\n“I still think about how we left things. I wish we could meet up and talk about what went wrong. I’m not expecting to get back together—I’d just like to get closure. Would you be willing to talk?” <img> "

"Scout the swap meet. Before deciding if you want to become a seller and what you want to sell, take a few laps around the swap meet on different days. Find out what seems to sell well and what does not.\nA common target profit margin for small items at swap meets is 30-35% (if you are buying things to sell). So if you are looking to make real money and not just have some fun and/or clear out your attic, you need to put some thought into what you want to focus on selling.\nAll swap meets are unique, catering to different audiences and emphasizing different best-sellers. The only way to know is to go.\nWhat purchases are shoppers carrying around? What seems to disappear from tables between opening and closing, and what doesn’t?\nDon’t just look around, talk to people. Most swap meet sellers will be happy to share their advice, seeing you as a compatriot and not a competitor. <img> Look for impulse buys. Many swap meet shoppers come in with an idea of what they want, but often walk out with things they had no intention of buying. Stocking inexpensive “impulse buys” that will move quickly can net a tidy profit and drive traffic to your other merchandise.\nConsider sunglasses, umbrellas, and/or hats and gloves (depending on weather conditions); t-shirts, especially with retro, sports, humorous, or local themes; kitschy knick-knacks; small, simple toys; kitchen gadgets; and other items that take up little space (on your table and in their bag) and cost less than $20 or so.\nAnother method of luring customers is utilizing “loss leaders,” or items that don’t net you much (or any) profit but draw eyeballs to your merchandise. Displaying a flat-screen TV for sale may not net you much on its own, but could be worthwhile in drumming up sales of your other items. <img> Try traditional strong-sellers. At almost every swap meet, items like clothing, jewelry, and books move well — when priced and displayed right, at least.\nAgain, see what sells best at your chosen swap meet, and consider what you can acquire cheaply (or for free) to sell. Used paperbacks can often be bought in bulk for pennies apiece and then sold individually for 50 cents or so. You won’t retire to a private island this way, but you can make a nice little chunk of change each week.\nRemember that size matters at swap meets. Space in your car and on your table will be tight, so smaller items that move quickly are usually your best bet. People are more apt to buy things they can simply toss into an existing bag or carry out in one hand. <img> Use items to sell items. Think of this as pairing or staging items. Selling complementary merchandise, or using one piece to draw interest in another, can boost your sales.\nFor instance, if you have shelves to sell, place knick-knacks on them. If you have dishes, display other items on top of them. Don’t conceal your target item with clutter, but make it and the other items more noticeable than each would be alone. You always want as many items as possible to catch your potential customer’s eye.\nAnother method of using items to sell items is to offer bulk discounts of the same item. For example, if you have your hands on a large supply of socks, a “buy two pair, get one free” sale can prove irresistible to someone who really only wanted one pair. <img> Make no assumptions. However thorough your research and planning, what will sell on a given swap meet day depends upon who shows up and what they decide to buy (beforehand or on a whim).\nSo long as you can find the room in your vehicle, always bring more merchandise than you think you can sell. (This is one reason why compact items are usually a better bet.) An empty table does you no good.\nAgain, if space allows, take a chance on selling some things that you can’t foresee someone buying. Every swap meet shopper has his own unique tastes and interests.\nYou never know if today is the day when you can unload that box full of disco 8-tracks you found in your uncle’s attic. <img> ",
"Gather the objects you have been saving for an eventual garage sale. Rent space at your local swap meet or flea market. If you’re lucky, you will be sold out by the end of the weekend and the stuff taking up space in your house will translate to cash in your pocket.\nOffering a smorgasbord of stuff from your attic can also give you a good idea or what sells and what does not at your particular swap meet.\nAlmost everyone has used books lying around or boxed up, and remember that these are often among the most popular sellers at swap meets. The same goes for seasonal clothing in good condition. <img> Shop around at garage sales in your community. You will find clothing, hand tools, toys, books, furniture, and knick knacks. These can all sell at swap meets. Be mindful of your swap meet research, though. You don't want to pay too much for the items or pay for something that will never sell.\nOne of the best things you can do is browse your swap meet and jot down the prevailing prices for common items. Then go to local garage sales and snatch up sellable items that are priced at well below swap meet value.\nMost people having a garage sale just want to get rid of the stuff, so make a low offer on a large supply of items you know you can sell at the swap meet. (This is another great way to acquire used books.) Go near the end of the posted time for the sale for the best deals (but also the most limited selection). <img> Look over items in thrift stores. Thrift stores often have sale days when everything is half price. That translates into a profit for you when you resell the items at the swap meet.\nThe secrets to finding these bargains are frequent visits, learning their inventory, and knowing when they have sales. This information will help you schedule your time, know when to purchase, and decide how to keep the price right.\nThrift stores are often the best place to acquire used clothing in decent condition. When you see a real bargain, strike quickly and buy in bulk. These items can form a cornerstone of your swap meet inventory. <img> Take part in auctions. There are many types of auctions available to you and all of them offer items for resale. You can snag great bargains that can be turned into nice profits at the swap meet.\nJewelry, which often sells well at swap meets, is a common item found at auctions. The trick is to know what you’re buying and to never overpay.\nAuction houses take goods on consignment and sell to the highest bidders. They frequently advertise in the newspaper and have websites where they announce upcoming auctions and list goods that are ready for auction.\nAt police auctions, items seized from criminals are put up for bid and can often be had for pennies on the dollar. Check local news sources for information on police auctions in your area. These can be another place to acquire jewelry, among other things.\nStorage warehouse auctions, as made popular by reality TV shows, are another option to find items to resell You are allowed only to look into the unit and not go through items. You will never know if there is any real value in the unit unless you buy the lot, so this can be a risky venture.\nEstate auctions are mostly held at the homes of people who have recently died, been moved to an assisted-living facility, or are just downsizing. Think of this auction as a garage sale on steroids, with the price driven by other buyers and the chant of the auctioneer. There are also just regular estate sales, without the auction element.\nOnline auction sites can also be a good choice for acquiring bulk merchandise to sell at the swap meet. The inventory selection is endless, and if you know what to look for and how much to pay, you can do quite well for yourself. <img> Decide to sell new merchandise as well as used items. Not everything for sale at a swap meet is old or used. Maybe you want to offer new tools, clothing or sunglasses for sale at your booth. You will need to find a wholesaler from which to buy these items.\nThere are suppliers who sell bulk goods at a significantly lower price to flea marketers. Research wholesalers in your area, and ask other vendors at the swap meet.\nPay special attention to the profit margin you seek and the price you can expect to sell your items for. If you can’t get a great wholesale price, don’t buy.\nUnless you are offering handcrafted items for sale, remember that volume and value are the keys to making money at swap meets, whether the items are new or used. <img> "
