] | [
"Review the route map and find the stations nearest where you wish to go. Caltrain has only one line that serves San Jose, but there is a station where you can transfer to BART if needbe. <img> Find the stations nearest your starting point and your destination. You can use Caltrain's route planner to do so. Then check the schedules (like BART, scheduling differs between weekdays and weekends). Decide when you wish to arrive at your destination and work back from that. <img> Find our the fare required for the trip you will take. Caltrain determines fares by the number of zones traveled. One-way fares range from $3.75 for traveling within one zone to $15.00 for traveling within six zones. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, fares have been heavily discounted. Use the fare chart and the map to determine how many zones you will cross. <img> Use route planning tools to plan your trip. When using these services, make sure to select the \"Public transit\" option, else you will be shown walking, biking, or driving directions. Your fare may also be visible. <img> ",
"Go to the train station where you start your trip. Look for the Caltrain logo to identify the station.\nLike BART, parking is limited and fills up very early on the weekdays. You need a Caltrain parking permit to park at any Caltrain station, except for Millbrae station, which requires a BART parking permit. <img> Buy a ticket. Ticket machines at each station take cash and change as well as credit and debit cards. You can also purchase tickets from the station attendant. Payment for train rides is dependent on the number of zones traveled, not the number of stops.\nTickets are valid for one-time use only.\nCheck to see if you are eligible for any of the discounts. Students, seniors, persons with disabilities, Medicare holders, and youth (5-18) are eligible. One child accompanied by a parent/guardian 4 and under rides free.\nYou can upgrade the number of zones traveled at the same machines. Both tickets must be present.\nClipper Cards are also dispensed at Caltrain stations. <img> Check for announcements on system-wide delays before entering the station. Such announcements can be found on Caltrain's website and at your station. This will help you avoid running late. <img> Tag your Clipper Card at the Clipper reader. If you do not want to use a physical ticket, you can use a Clipper Card. Keep your Clipper Card with you so you can provide proof of payment.\nIf you do not have Clipper, you need to validate your ticket at the same machine. <img> ",
"Board the correct train for your destination. Trains will stop at the platform for a few minutes to allow for boarding/deboarding. Make sure that you are headed in the correct direction.\nIf you have a bike, make sure to board the car labeled \"bike car\".\nSome train car are not wheelchair accessible. If you are in a wheelchair, board a car that has the wheelchair symbol. <img> Show proof of payment to the conductor. Before or shortly after departing, the conductor will walk through the train to check that you and other riders paid for your ride. If you have not paid, you can get a citation. <img> Practice good train ettiquette. Keep the center aisle clear, and remain seated for the ride. Per federal law, seats near the doors are reserved for seniors, pregnant women, and persons with disabilities. Keep your belongings secured. <img> Exit the train. Keep in mind that doors open on different sides at different stations. Also, the rear doors may not open at some stations, requiring you to traverse several train cars to get to the exit.\nCheck for all your personal items before making your way to the door. Items left behind will make their way to Caltrain's lost and found. Lost items can be reported here. <img> Touch your Clipper Card at the Clipper reader. If you used Clipper to get on the train, you must tag off at the appropriate station. The appropriate fare will be deducted from your Clipper Card. Not tagging off will result in you paying the maximum possible fare for the ride.\nTransfers to BART is available at Millbrae station. Transfers to VTA are available at Mountain View, San Jose Diridon, and Tamien stations. Transfers to MUNI are available at San Francisco station. Transfers to Amtrak and the Altamont Corridor are available at San Jose Diridon and Santa Clara stations. <img> "

How to Make a Woman Feel Beautiful | [

] | [
"Compliment her at unexpected times. If you want to help a woman feel beautiful, throw in compliments throughout the day. A compliment during an unexpected time, especially a time when she might be feeling disheveled or otherwise unattractive.\nStart off the day with a compliment. When she gets out of bed in the morning and goes for her morning coffee, say something like, \"Morning, beautiful\" or \"Looking good.\"\nCompliment her when she's in her element. Women like to feel their significant others like them for their personalities, hobbies, and interests as well as their physical qualities. If she's an avid hiker, tell her she looks gorgeous when she's sweaty and sunburnt because she looks so happy from a long day outdoors. If she works in a hospital, tell her you love how cute she looks in her scrubs.\nBe persistent. Women who are insecure may reject compliments. If she rejects a compliment initially, reassure her. Say she's not feeling pretty on a particular day and brushes aside your compliment. Follow up with something like, \"Well, you look beautiful to me.\" <img> Love her flaws. Most women have some insecurities about their bodies or physical appearance. A great way to make her feel beautiful is to talk her through these insecurities. Assure her you think she's beautiful just the way she is. Let her know that the qualities that she dislikes about herself make her unique and that you find them beautiful.\nTry saying something like, “You know how you hate that bump on your nose? Well, I love it! It's part of what gives you a unique appearance and I think it is beautiful.”\nTalk up the body parts she feels insecure about. If she hates her legs, for example, tell her she looks great when she's wearing a shorter skirt. If she insists her arms are too chubby or too muscular, give her extra attention when she wears a sleeveless shirt or dress.\nWomen can have insecurities about their personalities that they feel make them unattractive as well. If she feels that she's too emotional or too cold, reassure her that everyone has flaws or aspects of their personality they dislike. However, assure her that the things she dislikes about herself do not dampen her beauty. <img> Talk her up around others. Sometimes people feel direct compliments are disingenuous. If you want to make a woman feel beautiful, talk her up to others. This can make her more trusting of your words.\nWhen you're out at a party or social gathering, tell other about you like about this woman. You can talk about her physical qualities, saying something like, \"Doesn't she have the prettiest smile?\" You can also talk up her more attractive personality traits, something like, \"Isn't she funny?\" <img> ",
"Surprise her with small gifts and gestures. People feel beautiful when they feel appreciated. Find ways to surprise a woman with small gifts and gestures. This will make her feel positive about herself, making her feel beautiful.\nBring her flowers on a random day of the week. Surprise her with a small note telling her she's beautiful. Buy her a small gift and leave it in her mailbox.\nOrder her lunch and have it delivered to her work. Include a note on the delivery slip wishing her a good day.\nSend her a text telling her you think she's pretty, smart, funny, or any other attributes about her you admire.\nBe creative. Think of what your girlfriend, wife, or friend enjoys and think of kind gestures she'll appreciate throughout the day. <img> Plan a fancy date. Sometimes, getting dressed up for a night on the town can help a woman feel beautiful. Make reservations at a fancy restaurant. Buy tickets to a musical or concert. Plan a date that involves dressing up. This will allow your wife and girlfriend the opportunity to choose an outfit, jewelry, and make-up that make her feel confident and beautiful. <img> Engage in foreplay during sex. Women enjoy foreplay before sex. Not only does it help stimulate sexual desire, foreplay can raise a woman's self esteem. If she feels like you admire her body, she'll feel better about herself.\nTake time to nurture different parts of her body. Kiss her neck, ears, shoulders, and breasts. Run your hands up and down her body. This will make her feel that you want her physically, increasing her sense of self confidence.\nDirty talk can also help. It does not have to be vulgar or explicitly sexual, but expressing your attraction to her in words can help. Tell her what about her attracts you. Describe what aspects of sex you enjoy with her.\nMany women feel insecure in bed and want to turn the lights off. Suggest you leave them on, as you want to see her fully. Even if she says no to this, she'll be flattered that you're attracted enough to her that you want the lights on. <img> ",
"Understand female insecurity. Female insecurity is a common problem for a reason. Statistically, being conventionally attractive is advantageous to one's career and personal life. Women, even very conventionally attractive women, often feel insecure about their looks and tend to feel threatened by beautiful women. Try to be understanding of this and provide emotional support through listening. Understand women do not actively try to be insecure but there is a lot of societal pressure to fit a certain standard of beauty. <img> Communicate. One of the best things you can do to help a woman feel beautiful is to talk to her. Allow her to openly communicate her insecurities to you.\n\nListen when your wife, girlfriend, or female friend expresses negative thoughts about her appearance. Practice active listening by summarizing what is said after she finishes talking and give verbal cues, like nodding, to show you're paying attention. <img> Recognize when there might be a problem. While you can provide reassurance, understand you cannot fix someone else's insecurity. If you're concerned that your wife, girlfriend, or female friend is overly concerned with her appearance, gently suggest she talk her concerns over with a counselor or therapist. This is especially important if her concerns or insecurities interfere with her daily life. It could indicate a deeper issue, such as low self-esteem or Body Dysmorphic Disorder. <img> Nurture her passions and interests. Women like to feel beautiful for their minds as well as their bodies. By encouraging her passions, you make a woman feel beautiful.\nEncourage her to pursue her interests. If she's interested in singing, ask her to sing for you. If she's an avid painter, ask to take a look at her work.\nAsk her about what's important to her. Ask her about her work, school, hobbies, and interests. Showing a vested interest in a woman's personality, as well as her exterior qualities, can help her feel beautiful. <img> "

How to Become an Introvert | [
"ZZuTkJa31oiw",
"AA1rakAIkJXW",
"u5W8bWnBQsVl"
] | [
"Distinguish between introversion and anti-social behavior. There are a lot of misconceptions about what being introverted means, and it's not an \"anti-social\" behavior. Introverts are regenerated and energized by spending time alone, and often prefer solitude to group activities, which many introverts find emotionally taxing.\nIntroverts tend to grow more from being on their own rather than being in groups.\nAnti-social personality disorder is more akin to psychopathy or sociopathy, and refers to an inability to empathize or emotionally connect with others. Truly anti-social people are often ego-driven and superficially charming in ways that correspond more with a traditional view of extroversion.\nThere is nothing wrong with introversion, and although many self-help books and get-rich guides suggest that extroversion is the key to happiness and wealth, there's no evidence to suggest that one personality trait is more productive or successful than the other. Both personality types can be creative and productive in the right working environment. <img> Distinguish between introversion and being \"shy.\" While many introverts may be said to be \"shy\" in public, this isn't necessarily the case, and it's important to learn the difference. Introversion is not a measure of shyness, just as extroversion means more than \"being outgoing.\"\nShyness refers to a fear of speaking out in group situations and failing to communicate with others, and a preference for solitude based on this fear.\nIntroverts prefer solitude because working alone is more stimulating than working with others, and social interactions may be more taxing than exciting for the introvert. Introverts aren't necessarily \"scared\" to interact with others, they are just unenthusiastic about it. <img> Pay attention to what excites you. Are you energized by the thought of spending time alone? Would you rather work on a project alone, or collaborate with others? In a group situation, would it drive you crazy to not contribute your thoughts, or would you rather save your opinions for a side conversation?\nGenerally speaking, you don't \"become\" an introvert by changing your behaviors, because there's little point in spending more time alone if you don't enjoy it, or it doesn't stimulate you creatively.\nPay attention to your own tendencies and foster them. If you think you're extroverted, there's no reason to try to change yourself. Instead, give yourself a more social work environment to be productive. <img> Look beyond the dichotomy. A person doesn't have to be clearly in one or the other \"camp.\" Ambiversion is a term used to describe people who move comfortably between the two ends of the personality spectrum, and a great many people actually score somewhere in the 50/50 range on personality tests.\nTry taking a Myers-Briggs personality test to learn more about how you score in the personality department, and what this might tell you about how to foster your traits and give yourself the best chance for success, given your unique qualities and desires. For example, INTP means you enjoy spending time alone figuring out how things work and coming up with solutions to problems. INFJs tend to approach life with deep thoughtfulness and imagination. Generally speaking, if your personality type starts with an E, you have extroverted based thinking, like ENFJ if it starts with an I, you have introverted based thinking, like INTP. <img> ",
"Pursue solitary hobbies. If you want to get a feel for what the life of the introvert is like, explore hobbies that require you to be alone to pursue them, or are greatly improved by the solitary experience. Finding something that you enjoy doing that brings you happiness can make the world of a difference between a lonely night at home or a relaxing time rejuvenating your inner self. Introverted hobbies might include things like:\nGardening\nReading and writing creatively\nPainting\nGolf or Mini-Golf\nPlaying an instrument\nHiking <img> Try staying in on Friday night. If you want to take a little step toward creating a more introverted space for yourself, try staying in next Friday night, instead of going out. Introverts are often exhausted by social interactions, much preferring to spend an evening relaxing with a good book than by hitting the town or heading to a party. If you want to see whether this agrees with you, try it out. Create a list of the things that you enjoy doing and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. Then, incorporate the things that make you feel good (rated an 8-10 on your scale) into your alone time on a Friday night.\nDo you ever secretly hope your friends will cancel plans, so you can stay in and catch up on Netflix? Do you sometimes regret saying yes to party invites? These are good indications of introversion. <img> Speak less. Introverts aren't the chattiest people in the room. To behave in a more introverted way, try remaining mostly silent in your next group interaction, letting others talk more than you do. Ask questions to get others talking, but try to keep things focused on others and less on yourself.\nSpeaking less doesn't mean disengaging entirely. Practice listening more than you speak, and reflect before you respond to others statements to stay engaged in things without constantly talking.\nAre you ever embarrassed when a group's attention shifts to you? This is a good indication of introversion. If you secretly love the spotlight, that's more of an extroverted trait. <img> Focus on one-on-one relationships. Introverts aren't isolated loners who are unable to communicate with people, they're just exhausted by the work of socializing, and prefer solo reflection. It's much more common for introverts to enjoy having deep, meaningful conversations with friends one-on-one, instead of going out with a big group.\nIf you're not a big fan of parties, it's still good to try to make an effort at keeping up your friendships with regular one-on-one hangouts, to avoid seeming distant or cold. Let your good friends know you just prefer solo hang-outs.\nDo you cringe at the idea of small talking at dinner parties? Good indication of introversion. <img> Make your living space comfortable. If you're going to be spending more time alone, it's a good idea to make your living space a sanctuary. Make it the kind of place you'd prefer to spend time. Whether you want candles, incense, and your favorite books around, or a mini fridge and a record player all at arms' length from your favorite sitting chair, organize your space with your comfort in mind.\nCheck out this article for tips on organizing your room. <img> ",
"Pursue a career and interests that require fewer interactions. The less time you've got to spend around others, the more introverted your existence will become by necessity. If you think you benefit from living a more introverted lifestyle, try to pursue interests, jobs, and hobbies that will allow you to live that way and work at your most productive. The following jobs are all good for introverts:\nComputer programming\nWriting and editing\nResearch scientists\nCourt reporters\nArchival work or library science <img> Focus on one task at a time. Extroverts are multi-takers, while introverts prefer diving into one task and seeing it through to completion. try to prioritize your time to keep focused on each thing you need to do before you move on to the next. <img> Dig deeper. Introverts generally dislike small talk, preferring to dig deeper and have more serious, intellectual, or hard-hitting conversations. This also applies to the type of work and creative projects introverts like to take on.\nNext time you're working on a project for work or school, don't be satisfied with merely doing \"enough,\" or with doing what's expected of you. Go above and beyond. Put your own creative twist on the project, putting some extra effort into it. <img> Take on solo responsibilities and work alone. Introverts prefer working alone instead of working with others on group projects. If you often value the help of others, try taking on a project all by yourself next time and seeing if you can't do it without extra help. This might help increase your confidence and allow you to rely on yourself more in the future, even if it's necessary to work with others in some cases.\nGet what you can from collaborations. Often, you'll have to work with others, and introverts shouldn't reject the talents and abilities of others, just because they prefer working alone. Learn to negotiate group projects without controlling them, taking the help offered and delegating separate tasks, so you can also have some alone time.\n\nBe self-sufficient. The less you need to ask for help, the less you'll have to rely on the help of others. <img> "

How to Get Your Crush to Be Your Friend | [

"Wear a unique outfit. This will help distinguish you from the crowd, as well as show your crush that you have a cool sense of fashion. It may impress them and perhaps even be the opening for a conversation. Be sure that your clothes complement your body type and that your colors match. Although you don't have to wear expensive clothing, make sure that you have ones of good quality. <img> Be physically attractive. It's important to seem as appealing as possible so that your crush may take an interest in you. Take care of your personal hygiene, such as showering, brushing your teeth, and washing your face to get rid of grime. Add a subtle but pleasant scent by using deodorant, cologne, or body spray. Be sure that your hair is styled neatly, but make sure that you don't add too much product; otherwise, it'll weigh your hair down and give it a false or grimy appearance. <img> Research body language tricks. Be sure to adjust your body so that you appear open and inviting. Make sure that you're not positioned in a manner that may seem closed off or discourage your crush from talking to you (ex: arms crossed). You could also show some \"subconscious\" indications that you're interested in your crush. <img> Be confident. Confidence can completely change a person's appearance and help them seem more attractive. It shows that you're proud of who you are and that you aren't afraid to be unique. Although you should avoid being cocky, be sure that you give off a confident, cheerful air. <img> ",
"Tell your trusted friends about your crush. They may be able to give you advice on how to approach your crush, as well as help you make plans. Although you shouldn't completely accept their words, it's nice to have some people that you can rely on. <img> Talk with your friends about your crush's interests. If you spot your crush nearby, talk with your friends about a topic that your crush may like. For instance, if they're obsessed with lacrosse and your friend happens to play the sport, ask your friend some questions about it. Your crush might jump into the conversation. If you're focusing on subjects that you're unfamiliar with, be sure to do your research beforehand so that you have the right facts. <img> Form friendships with your crush's friends. It'll not only help you gain information about your crush but also show that you can get along with people. However, it's recommended that you form authentic relationships so that you don't appear fake. Otherwise, people might feel that you manipulated them for your own benefit. \nAvoid simply using them. Treat them as if they're your friends, and they might invite you to hang out with them.{\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/f\\/f8\\/Get-Your-Crush-to-Be-Your-Friend-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\\/v4-460px-Get-Your-Crush-to-Be-Your-Friend-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/f\\/f8\\/Get-Your-Crush-to-Be-Your-Friend-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\\/aid63576-v4-728px-Get-Your-Crush-to-Be-Your-Friend-Step-10-Version-3.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":345,\"bigWidth\":728,\"bigHeight\":546,\"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> ",
"Sit next to your crush. It not only captures their attention but also makes it easier for you to start a conversation. You may also have a higher chance of being paired up together, and you can discuss assignments and tests with them. You'll also be able to comment on what they say without looking weird. <img> Initiate conversations with your crush. There are a variety of different topics that you can talk about, but you can mostly focus on the ones that your crush is interested in. Try to come up with a new subject every time you talk to them. That way, they'll see you as an interesting, fun person and perhaps look forward to your conversations. You could also try asking them for help with a task, even if you don't need assistance. As long as it's believable, it should work as long as you don't do this too frequently. However, be sure that you show that you're intelligent. For instance, if you're a math whiz, don't ask your crush questions related to math. <img> Start conversations with school-related topics. You could also your crush about an assignment, which may open the way up to other subjects. Even if you're not in the same class, ask your crush about their lessons or what homework they have. However, be sure to talk about other topics so that you don't exhaust the current one. <img> Be kind to your crush. In order to show them that you care, lend them pencils, paper, or any other supplies that they may need. Allow them to cry on your shoulder if something bad happens to them, and show them that you are a kind person. Be sure that you don't overdo it; otherwise, they may take advantage of your generosity. <img> Greet them. A simple \"hello\" might lead to a conversation. Even if you don't have time to talk to them, quickly greet them to show that you're thinking of them. It may also grab their attention and cause them to think of you. <img> Connect on social media. Add your crush to Facebook or other social networks you're both on. This is especially recommended if you both have mutual friends. This can lead the way to conversations outside of school, and you may be invited to events. <img> Flirt. Now that you're talking to your crush, subtly flirt with them. This will help you get a sense of how interested they are in you, and you'll also show that you're attracted to them. If you get a positive response, continue flirting a bit and slowly increase it. However, if you feel that they aren't interested, tone it down a bit. <img> Understand that your crush is human. Although you may be attracted to them, you need to focus on your own life. They are just a person, and if they don't show interest, move on. No person is worth that much effort. <img> "

How to Teach a Rabbit Not to Chew Furniture | [

"Provide plenty of fresh grass or hay. Rabbits need to chew on grass or hay every day to keep their teeth worn down and to get the nutrients they need to thrive. Ensuring that your rabbit always has a supply of fresh, growing grass or good quality hay will reduce the chances that she will chew on your furniture.\nTimothy hay is a great choice and you can find it in pet stores. <img> Give your rabbit some pellets. Pellets can also offer your rabbit some valuable nutrition and something appropriate to chew on. Rabbits don’t need a lot of pellets though. Provide 1/8 to 1/4 cup of pellets for every 6 pounds of body weight. \nYou may need to adjust the amount of pellets that you give your rabbit depending on her weight and activity level. For example, if your rabbit is underweight or still growing, then she may be able to have more pellets. Ask your veterinarian if you are not sure. <img> Offer your rabbit some vegetables. Chewing on dark leafy greens and crunchy vegetables will also help keep your rabbit’s teeth worn down and reduce her urge to chew on your furniture. Some good veggies to give your rabbit include:\nromaine lettuce\ndandelion greens\nkale\ncollard greens\nfresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, basil\ncarrots (one 2 inch piece per day)\ncarrot tops <img> Treat your rabbit now and then. Fruit and hulled sunflower seeds can make a nice treat for your rabbit, which may also reduce her urge to chew on your furniture. Giving your rabbit a treat can also be a good distraction tactic if you catch her in the act. Try offering your rabbit one treat per day, such as:\na couple of apple slices\na few banana slices\na teaspoon of hulled sunflower seeds <img> Keep your rabbit hydrated. Giving your rabbit plenty of fresh water every day may not keep her from chewing on your furniture, but rabbits need water to stay hydrated and healthy. Provide your rabbit with fresh clean water at all times and check her supply at least once per day to ensure that she has enough water.\nYou can give a rabbit her water in a ceramic dish or in a sipper bottle. Either is fine, but a sipper bottle is less likely to spill or get contaminated with food or feces. <img> ",
"Give your rabbit something else to chew. Rabbits chew in order to file down their teeth and to entertain themselves. Your rabbit might chew on your furniture if nothing else is available for her to chew. Fortunately, there are lots of things you can offer your rabbit (just make sure not to feed her human food that may be toxic to her). Rabbits love to chew:\nFruit branches (apple), willow branches, aspen branches\nCardboard boxes\nChew toys\nCotton towels (as long as she doesn't eat them)\nUntreated pieces of pine lumber\nCompressed alfalfa cubes\nPhone books\nUntreated wood blocks <img> Let her run around. Your rabbit may be chewing the furniture if she's bored. Give her a safe enclosed space to run around and explore. If you can, let her run around outside where she can burn off energy and chew on hay or grass.\nPay attention when your rabbit is running around outside. Make sure predators can't get to her. If she's running around inside, make sure she doesn't chew on electrical cords or get stuck behind furniture. <img> Create a digging box. Entertain and distract your rabbit by making her an indoor digging burrow. Fill a large cardboard box with hay or shredded paper. Let her hop in and dig into the hay. She can also chew the box. Add cardboard tubes that your rabbit can toss around. You might want to cut another hole in the side of the box so your rabbit has another way in and out of the box.\nCheck to make sure that your rabbit doesn't toilet in the box.\nYou may need to replace shredded hay and paper after a few days or once your rabbit loses interest in them. <img> Give your rabbit a friend. Your rabbit might be chewing out of boredom. If she's been destroying furniture or chewing inappropriate things like wires, she might need company. Consider getting another rabbit so your rabbit can have social interaction. This may distract her from destructive chewing.\nIf you choose to get another rabbit, consider the commitment. Decide whether you want the responsibility of caring for another rabbit. <img> Spend time with your rabbit. Does it feel like your rabbit chews on the furniture to get your attention? Try to spend more time simply playing and snuggling with your rabbit. Lay on the floor and let her hop around you. Talk to your rabbit and pet her so she feels relaxed around you. You can also toss her toys like cardboard tubes or chew toys.\nWhile you can buy chew toys from the pet store, you can also let her play with toddler toys or baby teethers. <img> ",
"Keep certain areas off limits. You may want to move valuable pieces of furniture into an area that's closed off to your rabbit, at least until you've trained her not to chew furniture. If you don't want to keep the door to the room closed, use a tall baby gate that she can't hop over.\nYou may want to remove wicker furniture or baskets. Your rabbit will have a hard time distinguishing between wicker that's inappropriate to chew and fruit branches that you allow her to chew. <img> Cover the furniture. Hide the furniture from your rabbit by draping large thick blankets over it. This way, your rabbit can't get to the actual furniture. Consider doing this while you work with your rabbit to control her chewing behavior. Once you can trust her not to chew the furniture, remove the covers.\nConsider replacing wooden furniture with metal or glass furniture which will keep your rabbit from chewing. <img> Block off the backs of your furniture. If your rabbit has been hopping behind the furniture to chew at the back, you'll need to block the furniture or her access. Rabbits enjoy running through crawl spaces, but these can be dangerous, especially if she gets stuck or chews exposed nails or finish on the furniture. Use blocking material to cover the backs of furniture or close off her crawl spaces.\nFor example, if your rabbit likes to hop under the couch to get behind it, try stuffing the space under the couch with pillows. This keeps her from getting under and behind the couch. <img> Set up a safe rabbit space. If you can't rabbit-proof dangerous parts of your home, use large wire panels or grids to block off a large space. Or, securely attach a low wooden doorway that you can easily get through (just make sure it's tall enough that your rabbit can't hop over it).\nIf you want to install something permanent, try setting up moveable wire or panels first. This way, you can determine if your rabbit is safe in the area, or if you need to block off more or less space. <img> Protect furniture edges and corners. If you don't want to completely cover your furniture, think about buying clear plastic baby-proofing rails and corner guards. Place these along the edges and corners of your furniture to keep your rabbit from chewing.\nYou can also use these on painted walls, if you find your rabbit chewing them. Clear or metal corner guards can keep your rabbit from eating paint. <img> ",
"Spay your rabbit. Female rabbits are more likely to want to chew, but spaying her can reduce this urge. Try to spay your rabbit before she's 4 to 6 months old. If she's already older than that, just get her spayed when you can. If she's over two years old, get her examined before spaying.\nIf your rabbit is already spayed, but still chews a lot you may just need to wait for her to outgrow this tendency. <img> Spray your furniture with taste deterrents. Stop your rabbit from chewing furniture by making the furniture taste bad. You can buy sour apple spray or other bad-tasting deterrent sprays from a pet store. Tasting the deterrent should keep your rabbit from chewing the furniture in the future.\nAvoid spraying things like perfume or chili oil onto the furniture. Instead, use a product made for rabbits or small animals and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions. <img> Dab an oil on your furniture. If you prefer not to buy a bad tasting spray deterrent, look for alternatives you already have at home. Dab a little oil on a cloth and spread it along the edges of your wooden furniture. Your rabbit won't like the taste and will avoid chewing there.\nYou can use olive oil or a few drops of cinnamon, lavender, or mint essential oils. Once the scent disappears, reapply the oil so your rabbit avoids the furniture. <img> Discipline your rabbit. When your rabbit starts to chew on the furniture, spray her with water or clap loudly to get her attention and say, \"no bite.\" Move her away from the furniture and offer her something that is alright to chew, like a teether or chew toy. Be consistent, but always remember to work with your rabbit. Chewing is just a natural urge for her.\nNever shout or yell at your rabbit. This will only make your rabbit frightened of you. <img> Offer positive reinforcement. Reward your rabbit if you see her approach the furniture, but she doesn't chew it. There are several ways you can reward good behavior. Give her praise (like saying, \"good girl\"), spend time petting her, or give her a small food treat. Do this as soon as you notice the good behavior. This way, your rabbit will associate the act with the reward.\nYou can also reward your rabbit when you see her chewing appropriate things, like the branches, chew toys, or cardboard. Rabbits learn better with positive reinforcement than discipline. <img> "

How to Choose Fish for a Freshwater Aquarium | [
"QLYzAxdrVWZW",
"7adHCqU9jOcx",
"gAgXnzIPHJSf"
] | [
"Choose fish that will fit in your aquarium. If you already have an aquarium, you can use its size to help inform your decision regarding which fish to purchase. Do a little online research—or talk to knowledgeable sales staff at a pet store—to see how large specific species of fish will grow to be.\nAlthough juvenile fish you see in pet stores may be small, as they grow, many species will become quite large. Some freshwater aquarium fish can be over a foot long!\nSome fish need a lot of space or live in a school that won't fit in your aquarium. <img> Start out with fish that are easy to maintain. If you're a beginner fish owner, make sure to avoid species that are notoriously difficult to care for. Although fish are a relatively low-maintenance type of pet, some species are difficult to keep alive and demand more of your time and energy than other species.\nBreeds of fish that are easy to maintain include the tetras, betta fish (although these cannot be kept in a tank with other fish), some breeds of barbs, mollies, guppies, small catfish, and platies.\nFor example, discus are considered to be a challenging breed of fish. They like pristine water, so you'll need to change their water twice a week. Discus can also carry diseases more commonly than other fish.\nGourami fish species are one of the options to start with. Gouramis are very hardy and easy-care species of fish that you can keep as a beginner. You can choose opaline gourami, powder blue gourami, or honey gourami. <img> Fill your tank with behaviorally compatible fish. Not all breeds of fish will do well together in the same fish tank. In order to set up a healthy environment in your tank, select breeds that will get along well together. If you're planning to have a community aquarium with many breeds of fish, aggressive fish (like the betta) are not a good option.\nFor example, danios, platies, swordtails, and mollies are all compatible with one another, and also with many species of tetras.\nAnother group of compatible fish includes neon or glowlight tetras, glass fish, guppies, and ghost shrimp. <img> ",
"Include fish with similar water-temperature requirements. Freshwater fish tanks are either cold-water or warm-water. If you are planning a community tank, make sure the species you plan on putting together have similar temperature requirements. For example, don't put goldfish, which are cold-water fish, in a tank with tropical fish like bettas (which require warm water).\nBeginner-friendly cold-water fish include goldfish, tetras, and the White Cloud minnow.\nBeginner-friendly warm-water fish include Danios, the Black Molly, Platies, Swordtails, and the Black Skirt Tetra. <img> Include fish with similar feeding requirements. If you're planning to have many species of fish living in the same aquarium, they should all be able to eat the same type(s) of food. Most breeds of “beginner”-level freshwater fish can be fed with a jar of fish food flakes.\nCatfish, however, do not eat fish food flakes. They are scavengers, and primarily eat food and organic matter that have fallen to the bottom of the aquarium.\nFor example, some fish eat only live food, like the knifefish. Both the Jack Dempsey and the Bolivian Ram prefer to eat live foods, such as blood worms.\nSome fish may eat invertebrates (which can be expensive), or may even devour your other fish. <img> Do not put territorial fish in a full aquarium. Territorial fish tend to claim a section of the aquarium (or a specific piece of decoration inside the tank) as their own, and will attack other fish who inadvertently draw near. If you do plan to purchase one or more fish of a territorial breed, they will need extra space in the aquarium.\nTerritorial species include breeds of Cichlids, and the Jack Dempsey. <img> ",
"Visit a local pet store. Many species of freshwater fish are sold at pet stores. If you can find a pet store that specializes in fish, you'll be able to speak with the knowledgeable sales staff. They can often provide better information than employees from stores that sell all kinds of pets. Ask for their recommendation if you have any lingering questions about which fish to fill your tank with.\nLocal pet stores will likely not carry rare, expensive, or exotic fish. If a specific fish you've wanted is hard to find, consider getting a more common fish.\nIf you do not have a reputable pet store in your vicinity, consider purchasing fish online. Use an established pet site, like PetSolutions, PetCo, or LiveAquaria. <img> Avoid buying a male and female of the same species. If you end up with a sexually compatible male and female in the same tank, they are likely to breed with one another. For example, guppies breed often and produce large numbers of offspring. Keeping male and female guppies separate can solve this potential problem.\nIf you do buy a male and female of the same species, ask a knowledgeable staff member at a pet store the breeding pair are likely to be aggressive with other fish. <img> Purchase only healthy fish. Never purchase sick fish, as they are likely to die shortly after you buy them. Healthy fish will display normal behavior and bright colors typical of their species. If you notice any fish with ulcers or boils, bulging eyes, or discolored scales, it’s probably in a poor state of health.\nIf a sick fish has a communicable illness, and you add it to a tank of healthy fish, you're putting all of the other fish in your tank at risk of illness and possible death. <img> "

"Clean up any visible excrement with a paper towel. Before sanitizing the changing pad, check for any fecal residue along the surface. Do your best to blot and wipe up any visible stool and urine so the pad can be as clean as possible. If the item is soaked with urine, check the care label for the proper washing instructions.\nIt’s easiest to clean your pad on a flat surface.\nTo keep your pad as clean as possible, consider sanitizing it after each use.Did you know? Most travel changing pads are made with water-resistant material like canvas, rayon and polyester, which help make the initial cleaning process a lot easier. <img> Sanitize the travel pad with a disinfectant wipe for an easy option. Before you clean off the surface of your changing pad, read the care label for specific cleaning instructions. If the label permits it, use a disinfectant wipe to clean and sanitize the surface of the pad. Let the item air-dry for several minutes, or until the surface is completely dry to the touch.\nDon’t use the changing pad until the disinfectant has completely evaporated.\nIf you don’t have any wipes on hand, consider using disinfectant spray and some paper towels instead. <img> Wipe down the surface with soap and water if you don’t want to use harsh chemicals. Pour a pea-sized amount of mild detergent onto a paper towel or cloth, then rub down the surface of the travel changing pad. Focus on the areas where your baby sits, so the pad is completely sanitized for the next diaper change.\nAlways check the care label before using any kind of detergent or soap on your pad. <img> Air-dry the pad in an open area. Unfold the changing pad completely and attach it a clothesline or clothing rack. Leave the item in an outdoor or indoor area that gets a lot of open air, so the pad can dry efficiently. Once the item is dry to the touch, fold it and store it as you usually would. Spray the pad with a mixture of bleach and water to disinfect the pad fully. Mix ⅛ cup (30 mL) of bleach in ½ gal (1893 mL) of water. Fill a large, empty spray bottle with ½ gal (1893 mL) of tap water, then add ⅛ cup (30 mL) of standard bleach. Replace the lid, shake the bottle, then spritz the pad. After letting the bleach sit for 2 minutes to disinfect the pad, wipe it down with a paper towel. Repeat the process on the other side. <img> ",
"Clean off any cover-free pads with a disinfectant wipe. Use a paper towel or clean rag to blot away any obvious messes from the pad. Next, wipe the item down with a disinfectant wipe to sanitize it quickly. Before putting it in the washer, make sure that there’s no visible fecal matter on the pad.\nWhen using disinfectant wipes, read the label to see how long the wipes take to sanitize a surface. <img> Read the care label on machine washable travel pads. Check your changing pad to see if there’s a care label sewn into the side. Before you proceed, see if the tag recommends hand washing or machine washing. If the care label permits machine washing, read the care instructions to see if a normal, permanent press, or delicate cycle is recommended.\nCare instructions will differ depending on the travel changing pad that you use.\nMany travel changing pads come in waterproof, washable materials. However, if the travel pad has extra cushioning built in, it might not be best to place in the washing machine. <img> Launder the changing pad whenever it gets soiled. While referencing the care label, place the pad in the washing machine using the specified cycle and water temperature. Once the pad is clean, consult the care label to see if the item should be tumble dried or air-dried. Try not to use the portable pad again until it’s dry to the touch.\nDifferent manufacturers make different recommendations. For instance, some companies recommend a cold or warm wash setting along with a low tumble dry setting, while other groups recommend a cold wash setting and air-drying. <img> "

"Boil the water. This can be done in a kettle, over a fire, in a pot on the stove, in the microwave, or any other way you typically boil water. To conserve water, energy, time, and money, only boil as much water as you’re going to use in your tea. <img> Wash and tear the mint leaves. Rinse them to remove any residual dirt, bugs, or soil that may be on the leaves. Then, tear the leaves to help them release their aromas and give your tea a stronger flavor.\nThere are a variety of mint leaves you can use, including chocolate mint, spearmint, and peppermint. <img> Prepare the leaves. The mint leaves can go into a tea ball, a teapot designed for loose leaf tea, into a coffee filter, in a French press, or straight into a mug. <img> Pour the boiling water over the leaves. Some teas should be done at different temperatures, so you don’t burn the leaves, but mint is hardy, and you can pour fully boiling water right over the leaves. <img> Steep the tea. Mint tea should steep for five to 10 minutes, but longer is fine if you want a stronger tea. Once your tea reaches the strength you like (either take a taste or go by the smell), remove the leaves. You can also leave the leaves in, and the tea will continue to get stronger. Use a strainer if desired to remove the loose leaves if you didn’t use a tea ball or special pot.\nIf you’re using a French press, push the plunger down when the tea has reached the desired strength. <img> Add additional ingredients. Once your tea has steeped, you can add honey or sweetener if you desire, or a splash of lemon before you drink it. <img> ",
"Make your mint tea. Using the ratio for a larger batch, make your hot mint tea. Just place the mint leaves in a large heat-safe bowl and pour the boiling water directly over the top. Allow to steep.\nTo make a single serving, use the same mint–water ratio and method as you would for a mug of hot mint tea. <img> Stir in sweetener and lemon. Once the tea is ready, squeeze the lemon juice into the tea, making sure you don’t get any seeds in the tea. Add your sweetener of choice, to taste, if you want sweet tea. Stir vigorously to break down the sugar particles.\nAgave nectar also works well as a liquid sweetener and honey substitute. <img> Let the tea cool to room temperature. Once it’s cool, strain the tea into a pitcher and discard the used mint leaves. Refrigerate until it’s cold. <img> Serve over ice with cucumber. When the tea has chilled, and you are ready to serve it, fill your glasses with ice. Thinly slice a cucumber and add a few slices to each glass. Pour the tea and enjoy. <img> ",
"Rinse the tea leaves. Place the green tea in a teapot and add one cup of boiling water. Swirl the water to rinse the leaves and warm the pot. Pour out the water, leaving the green tea leaves in the teapot. <img> Steep the tea. Add four cups of boiling water to the teapot and steep the tea for two minutes. <img> Add sugar and mint. Steep for an additional four minutes, or to taste, and serve.\nYou can take mint or herbal tea if you have an upset stomach. Drink a lot of ginger ale or eat ginger which is like a natural remedy.\nStay away from acid, like lemonade or soda.\nYou can take over-the-counter medicine like Pepto Bismol. It helps to reduce stomach acid. <img> ",
"Freeze your mint leaves in an ice cube tray. Leftover mint from the store or garden can be preserved for later use. To freeze your mint, place two washed mint leaves in each basin of an ice cube tray. Fill each with water. Freeze them until you’re ready to use the mint.\nOnce the mint cubes have frozen, remove them from the tray and place them in a plastic bag in the freezer. (Now you have your ice cube tray back!)\nWhen it’s time to use your mint, pull the ice cubes out of the freezer (as many as you need for how much mint you require) and place them in a bowl to thaw. When the ice has thawed, drain the water and pat the mint dry. <img> Dry your mint. Dried mint can be used to make teas, and can even be put into the reusable cups for single-serve coffee machines. Take the fresh sprigs of mint and loosely bundle a couple together with elastic bands. Hang them upside down somewhere warm and dry until the leaves are dry and brittle.\nMint contains more moisture than some other herbs, which means it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to dry, depending on the climate. The warmer and dryer the room you use for drying, the less time the process will take.\nWhen the leaves are dry, place them in a bag or between sheets of wax paper and break them up. Store in a spice jar. <img> "

How to Calculate Bank Interest on Savings | [

"Know the formula for calculating the effect of compound interest. The formula for calculating compound interest accumulation on a given account balance is: A=P(1+(rn))n∗t{\\displaystyle A=P(1+({\\frac {r}{n}}))^{n*t}}.\n(P) is the principal (P), (r) is the annual rate of interest, and (n) is the number of times the interest is compounded per year. (A) is the balance of the account you are calculating including the effects of interest.\n(t) represents the periods of time over which the interest is accumulating. It should match with the interest rate you are using (e.g. if the interest rate is an annual rate, (t) should be a number/fraction years). To determine the appropriate fraction of years for a given time period, simply divide the total number of months by 12 or divide the total number of days by 365. <img> Determine the variables used in the formula. Review the terms of your personal savings account or contact a representative from your bank to fill in the equation.\nThe principal (P) represents either the initial amount deposited into the account or the current amount that you will be measuring from for your interest calculation.\nThe interest rate (r) should be in decimal form. A 3% interest rate should be entered as 0.03. To get this number, simply divide the stated percentage rate by 100.\nThe value of (n) is the number of times per year the interest is calculated and added onto your balance (aka compounds). Interest most commonly compounds monthly (n=12), quarterly (n=4), or yearly (n=1) but there can be other options, depending on your specific account terms. <img> Plug your values into the formula. Once you have determined the amounts of each variable, insert them into the compound interest formula to determine the interest earned over the specified time scale. For example, using the values P=$1000, r=0.05 (5%), n=4 (compounded quarterly), and t=1 year, we get the following equation: A=$1000(1+(0.054))4∗1{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1+({\\frac {0.05}{4}}))^{4*1}}.\nInterest compounded daily is found in a similar way, except you would substitute 365 for the 4 used above for variable (n). <img> Crunch the numbers. Now that the numbers are in, it's time to solve the formula. Start by simplifying the simple parts of the equation. This includes dividing the annual rate by the number of periods to get the periodic rate (in this case 0.054=0.0125{\\displaystyle {\\frac {0.05}{4}}=0.0125}) and solving the object n∗t{\\displaystyle n*t} which here is just 4∗1{\\displaystyle 4*1}. This will yield the following equation: A=$1000(1+(0.0125))4{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1+(0.0125))^{4}}.\nThis is then further simplified by solving for the object within the parenthesis, 1+0.0125=1.0125{\\displaystyle 1+0.0125=1.0125}. The equation will now look like this: A=$1000(1.0125)4{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1.0125)^{4}}. <img> Solve the equation. Next, solve the exponent by raising the result of the last step to the power of four (aka 1.0125∗1.0125∗1.0125∗1.0125{\\displaystyle 1.0125*1.0125*1.0125*1.0125}). This will give you 1.051{\\displaystyle 1.051}. Your equation is now simply: A=$1000(1.051){\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1.051)}. Multiply these two numbers together to get A=$1051{\\displaystyle A=\\$1051}. This is your account value with 5% interest (compounded quarterly) after one year.\nNote that this is slightly higher than $1000∗5%{\\displaystyle \\$1000*5\\%} that you may have expected when the annual interest rate was quoted to you. This illustrates the importance of understanding how and when your interest compounds!\nThe interest earned is the difference between A and P, so total interest earned =$1051−$1000=$51{\\displaystyle =\\$1051-\\$1000=\\$51}. <img> ",
"Use the accumulated savings formula first. You can also calculate interest on an account to which you are making regular monthly contributions. This is useful if you save a certain amount each month and put that money into your savings account. The full equation is as follows: A=P(1+(rn))nt+PMT∗(1+rn)nt−1rn{\\displaystyle A=P(1+({\\frac {r}{n}}))^{nt}+PMT*{\\frac {(1+{\\frac {r}{n}})^{nt}-1}{\\frac {r}{n}}}} \nAn easy approach is to separate the compounding interest for the principal from that of the monthly contributions (or payments/PMT). To begin, calculate the interest on the principal first using the accumulated savings formula.\nAs has been described with this formula, you can calculate the interest earned on your savings account with recurring monthly deposits and interest compounded daily, monthly or quarterly. <img> Use the second part of the formula to calculate the interest on your contributions. (PMT) represents your monthly contribution amount. <img> Identify your variables. Check your account or investment agreement to find the following variables: principal \"P\", the annual rate of interest \"r\", and the number of periods per year \"n\". If these variables are not readily available to you, contact your bank and ask for this information. The variable \"t\" represents the number of years, or portions of years, being calculated and \"PMT\" represents the payment/contribution made each month. The account value \"A\" represents the total value of the account after your chosen time period and contributions.\nThe principal \"P\" represents either the balance of the account on the date that you will be starting the calculation from.\nThe interest rate \"r\" represents the interest paid on the account each year. It should be expressed as a decimal in the equation. That is, a 3% interest rate should be entered as 0.03. To get this number, simply divide the stated percentage rate by 100.\nThe value of \"n\" simply represents the number of times the interest is compounded each year. This should be 365 for interest compounded daily, 12 for monthly, and 4 for quarterly.\nSimilarly, the value for \"t\" represents the number of years you will be calculating your future interest for. This should be either the number of years or the portion of a year if you are measuring less than a year (e.g. 0.0833 (1/12) for one month). <img> Input your values into the formula. Using the example of P=$1000, r=0.05 (5%), n=12 (compounded monthly), t=3 years, and PMT=$100, we get the following equation: A=$1000(1+(0.0512))12∗3+$100∗(1+0.0512)12∗3−10.0512{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1+({\\frac {0.05}{12}}))^{12*3}+\\$100*{\\frac {(1+{\\frac {0.05}{12}})^{12*3}-1}{\\frac {0.05}{12}}}} <img> Simplify the equation. Begin by simplifying the object rn{\\displaystyle {\\frac {r}{n}}} where possible by dividing the rate, 0.05, by 12. This simplifies to A=$1000(1+(0.00417))12∗3+$100∗(1+0.00417)12∗3−10.00417{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1+(0.00417))^{12*3}+\\$100*{\\frac {(1+0.00417)^{12*3}-1}{0.00417}}} You can also simplify by adding one to the rate within the parentheses. The equation will now look like this: A=$1000(1.00417))12∗3+$100∗(1.00417)12∗3−10.00417{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1.00417))^{12*3}+\\$100*{\\frac {(1.00417)^{12*3}-1}{0.00417}}} <img> Solve the exponents. First, solve the figures within the exponents, n∗t{\\displaystyle n*t}, which give 12∗3=36{\\displaystyle 12*3=36}. Then, solve the exponents to simplify the equation to A=$1000(1.1616)+$100∗1.1616−10.00417{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1.1616)+\\$100*{\\frac {1.1616-1}{0.00417}}} Simplify by subtracting the one to get A=$1000(1.1616)+$100∗0.16160.00417{\\displaystyle A=\\$1000(1.1616)+\\$100*{\\frac {0.1616}{0.00417}}} <img> Make the final calculations. Multiply the first part of the equation to get $1,161.6. Solve the second part of the equation by first dividing the numerator by the denominator of the fraction to get 0.16160.00417=38.753{\\displaystyle {\\frac {0.1616}{0.00417}}=38.753}. Multiply this number by the value of the payment (in this case $100) to get the second part of the equation. Our equation is now: A=$1161.6+$3875.30=$5,036.9{\\displaystyle A=\\$1161.6+\\$3875.30=\\$5,036.9}. The account value under these conditions would be $5,036.9{\\displaystyle \\$5,036.9}. <img> Calculate your total interest earned. In this equation, actual interest earned would be the total amount (A) minus the principal (P) and the number of payments times the payment amount (PMT*n*t). So, in the example, Interest=$5036.9−$1000−$100(12∗3){\\displaystyle Interest=\\$5036.9-\\$1000-\\$100(12*3)} and then $5036.9−$1000−$3600=$436.81{\\displaystyle \\$5036.9-\\$1000-\\$3600=\\$436.81}. <img> ",
"Open a new spreadsheet. Excel and other similar spreadsheet programs (e.g. Google Sheets) allow you to save time on the math behind these calculations and even offer shortcuts in the form of built-in financial functions to help you calculate compounding interest. <img> Label your variables. When using a spreadsheet, it's always helpful to be as organized and clear as possible. Start by labeling a column of cells with the key information you'll be using in your calculation (e.g. interest rate, principal, time, n, payment). <img> Type in your variables. Now fill out the data you have about your specific account in the next column over. This not only makes the the spreadsheet easier to read and interpret later, it also leaves room for you to change one or more of your variables later on in order to look at different possible savings scenarios. <img> Create your equation. The next step is to type in your own version of the accumulated interest equation ( A=P(1+(rn))n∗t{\\displaystyle A=P(1+({\\frac {r}{n}}))^{n*t}} ) or the extended version which takes into account your regular monthly contributions to the account ( A=P(1+(rn))nt+PMT∗(1+rn)nt−1rn{\\displaystyle A=P(1+({\\frac {r}{n}}))^{nt}+PMT*{\\frac {(1+{\\frac {r}{n}})^{nt}-1}{\\frac {r}{n}}}} ). Use any blank cell, begin with an \"=\", and use normal math conventions (parentheses as necessary) to type the appropriate equation. Instead of entering variables like (P) and (n), type in the corresponding cell names where you have stored those data values or else simply click the appropriate cell while editing your equation. <img> Use financial functions. Excel also offers certain financial functions that may help your calculation. Specifically, \"future value\" (FV) may be of use because it calculates the value of an account at some point in the future given the same set of variables you've now become accustomed to. To access this function go to any blank cell and type \"=FV(\". Excel should then bring up a guidance window as soon as you open the function parenthesis in order to help you insert the appropriate parameters into your function.\nThe future value function is designed with paying an account balance down as it continues to accumulate interest instead of with accumulating savings account interest. Because of this it automatically yields a negative number. Counteract this issue by typing =−1∗FV({\\displaystyle =-1*FV(}\n\nThe FV function takes similar data parameters separated by commas but not exactly the same ones. For instance, \"rate\" refers to r/n{\\displaystyle r/n} (the annual interest rate divided by \"n\"). This will calculate automatically from within the FV function's parenthesis.\nThe parameter \"nper\" refers to the variable n∗t{\\displaystyle n*t} - the total number of periods over which interest is accumulating and the total number of payments. In other words, if your PMT is not 0, the FV function will assume you are contributing the PMT amount across each and every period as defined by \"nper\".\nNote that this function is most often used for (things like) calculating how a mortgage principal is paid down over time by regular payments. For instance if you plan to contribute every month for 5 years, \"nper\" would be 60 (5 years * 12 months).\nPMT is your regular contribution amount over the entire period (one contribution per \"n\")\n\"[pv]\" (aka Present Value) is the principal amount - your account's starting balance.\nThe final variable, \"[type]\" can be left blank for this calculation (when it is the function sets it automatically to 0).\nThe FV function allows for you to do basic calculations within the function parameters, for instance the completed FV function could look like −1∗FV(.05/12,12,100,5000){\\displaystyle -1*FV(.05/12,12,100,5000)}. This would signify a 5% annual interest rate which compounded monthly for 12 months, over which time you contribute $100/month and your starting (principal) balance is $5000. The answer to this function will tell you the account balance after 1 year ($6483.70). <img> "

How to Bowl the Doosra | [

] | [
"Hold the ball like a fast bowler. Position your index and middle fingers on either side of the seam. For better ball control, your index finger should just about touch the seam. Your thumb may rest on the ball, but this usually doesn't affect delivery. Use your remaining two fingers to hold the ball in place. <img> Position your bowling arm vertically and close to your head. Place your wrist at its highest point with your palm facing left (roughly towards the cover position). Keep your arm bent at 15 degrees or less. Anything more than 15 degrees is considered illegal in cricket. <img> Step forward with your non-dominant foot. Plant the sole of your foot flat on the ground. Position the leg on your bowling side behind you with your toe pointed. Make sure your feet remain aligned during this step. <img> Rotate your torso. Pivot your waist at a perpendicular angle from the batter. Position your torso toward the side of your bowling hand. For example, if you're bowling with your right hand, your torso should face right. <img> Raise your non-bowling arm. This will help to keep your body balanced. Rotate your shoulder so that your arm is above your head. Bend the elbow of this arm. Position the forearm and hand of this arm toward your bowling hand. <img> Position your legs. Raise the thigh on your non-bowling side, with your shin and foot helping to form a 135-degree angle. Position your knee slightly toward your bowling hand. Keep the foot on your bowling side planted flat on the ground. <img> Deliver the ball. Keep the back of your hand facing square leg. Move your index finger downwards over the ball. Right before you release the ball, bend your elbow. Just before release, bend your wrist inward. As you deliver the ball, spin it as you would in an off-break. <img> ",
"Hold the ball as if you want to do a leg break. Place the ball between the index finger and middle finger of your dominant hand. Make sure the seam of the ball runs perpendicular to your fingers. Place your thumb along the seam. Bend your ring finger and move your middle finger to the top of the ball. Place your ring finger on the opposite side of your index finger so that the ball is resting in these three fingers. Put your pinky alongside your ring finger. <img> Position your bowling arm. Raise your dominant arm straight up over your head. Turn your elbow outward, keeping it straight. If you're using your right hand, twist your forearm towards the left. Turn it to the right if you're left-handed. <img> Twist your hand. Make sure your palm is open and relaxed. Turn it upward, towards the sky or ceiling. Then, turn the back of your hand towards the batter so that it's perpendicular to the ground. <img> Step forward. Do this with the opposite foot of your bowling side. (For example, if you're bowling with your right hand, you'll step forward with your left foot.) Make sure this foot is flat on the ground. Keep the leg on your bowling side behind you with your toe pointed. This foot should be aligned directly behind the other. <img> Bend at the waist. Face the batter as you do this. Tilt towards the opposite of your dominant side. Allow your bowling arm and foot/leg positions to guide you into this position. <img> Release the ball. Position your wrist 180 degrees from the ground. As you do this, make sure the seam of the ball faces fine leg. Use your ring finger to turn the ball counterclockwise and bowl it toward the batter. <img> "

How to Make a Friend Jealous | [
"zx8E8uiQPEd2",
"UrCJ8QETA7R0",
"Gqp2CgKm1Fst"
] | [
"Show confidence through your body language. When you walk into a room, own it! Hold your head up, take big steps, and let your arms swing at your side. When you stand or sit, take up space! Sit with your elbows on the chair and your feet slightly apart. Stand tall and look people in the eye when speaking.\nRemember, having confidence is important for you, not just your friend. <img> Be the life of the party. When you’re at a social event, make your presence known. Move around the room chatting with people and introducing yourself to those you don’t know. By the end of the night, you’ll know have so many new friends and connections. This will allow you to have more fun, anyways.\nFor instance, you might go up to a stranger and say, “Hey, fun party, huh? My name’s Jess. What’s yours?” From there, you can talk about the food, music, and how you know the host. Be sure to ask them questions about themselves like where they’re from.\nAlso, if there’s a DJ and no one’s dancing, take a few friends and get the party started! You might also choose to sing karaoke if there’s a machine available. Do things that will get everyone hype. <img> Stand in the middle of the room. When entering an event your friend is at, go directly to the center of the room. This will ensure that all eyes are on you. Make sure you’re looking your best so you’ll feel great and get lots of attention.\nStay in the middle for five to ten minutes and chat with your friends. After that, begin mingling with other guests. <img> Surround yourself with friends. Wherever you go, have your posse with you. If your friend is a part of this group, let them in on the fun, too, but try to keep the focus on you by laughing, telling jokes, and helping everyone have a good time. Either way, spending time with your friends is important regardless of making your friend jealous. <img> ",
"Invite them to your house when you get new stuff. If you just got a brand new bedroom suite, a new TV, or a new gaming system, you’re probably excited to show your friend. Invite them over to hang out and tell them how happy you are about your new stuff. It’s always fun to share your cool stuff with friends.\nDon’t brag about your possessions, though. No one likes a braggart. Simply say, “Hey, Kelly, I got a new Playstation. Wanna play?” <img> Use social media to post pics of you having fun. When you’re on vacation, take cool pictures and post them. Or maybe your parents threw you the best birthday party ever. Have someone take a few pictures. Having these pictures can also ensure that you remember all the cool people and experiences in your life.\nFor example, on Snapchat, you might put a video of the view from your hotel room on your Snap story and make the caption “Views from my vacay.”\nOn Instagram, you might post a selfie of your new haircut or the car you got for your birthday. <img> Show off your best assets. Do you have great eyes? Accentuate them with mascara or eyeshadow. Or perhaps you have nice arms? Wear a muscle shirt to show off your physique. You’ll be getting compliments all day and you’ll feel great about yourself. <img> Spend time with your significant other. Go out on dates and talk to each other regularly to maintain your relationship. Post pics of you and your bae doing cute things together. If they get you a gift or do something sweet, post that, too.\nMake sure you aren’t using them to make your friend jealous; no one likes to be used. <img> Plan something fun everyday. In the midst of this jealousy plot, don’t forget about having fun. Get ice cream with friends, go to the movies with your sister, or go shoot some hoops with your Pops. The more fun you have, the happier you’ll be. You might even forget about making your friend jealous altogether.\nRemember that life is about family and friends! Don’t get so caught up in making your friend jealous that you lose your friendship with them. <img> ",
"Improve your conversation skills. The better you are at talking to people, the more friends you’ll make, which is an important skill to have. When speaking to someone, really listen to them and ask them follow-up questions to learn more. You can also use their name often, because people tend to respond positively to hearing their name.\nFor instance, you might say, “So Josh, it sounds like you really like your job! Are you planning on working there long-term?” <img> Show up looking your best everyday. When you look great, you feel great, so take pride in your appearance. Wake up early in the mornings so you can spend time perfecting your look. Take a shower, shave, and fix your hair in the perfect style. Make sure you have on clean, well-fitting, unwrinkled clothes. Pick the perfect accessories, like a belt or a watch to complement your outfit.\nYou can wear something like a cool pair of high-waisted jeans with an off-shoulder top. You can also choose something like fresh new kicks with a sports jersey.\nYou can also put on some makeup or cologne to go the extra mile. <img> Exercise daily for thirty minutes. Show your friend (and yourself) how tough you are by hitting the gym often. Focus on building the best body possible so you can show off and feel good about yourself.\nYou can take classes at the gym, workout from home, or go for a run in your neighborhood. <img> Work hard at school and on the job. Be a boss at everything to show the world that you can do it all. Get to class or work a few minutes early each day. When you do your homework, look over it to make sure you haven’t made any errors. Study so you’ll be the best at what you do! The more you accomplish, the closer you’ll be to your goals. <img> Repeat positive mantras to yourself every morning. Start your day by reminding yourself how great you are! Before you leave your house, look yourself in the mirror and say positive and uplifting things. And remember, life isn’t about making your friend jealous, so don’t to make this last longer than a couple of weeks. A true friendship shouldn’t have so much jealousy. Focus on your own happiness and life will be great!\nYou might say, “Cara, you are awesome! You’re gonna do awesome things today! You are beautiful and smart and there is no one else like you.” <img> "

How to Prevent a Runny Nose in Cold Weather | [
"CrqMPrnS60O2",
"OWSi0qMQTFGF"
] | [
"Wrap your nose and mouth with a wool scarf when outdoors. Breathing through the scarf will warm the space between your face and the scarf. You will also exhale moisture into the space which will moisten the air. By warming and moistening the space, your sinuses won't have to produce as much moisture and your nose will not run. <img> Run a humidifier when indoors. The air may be warm enough, but if it's too dry it may still trigger a runny nose. You can use individual room humidifiers or have a whole-house humidifier installed. <img> Use a saline nasal spray to moisten your nasal passages. This runny nose remedy will keep your nasal passages moist and help prevent you from over-producing mucus. <img> Try a medicated nasal spray such as Dristan (or anything that has \"pseudoephedrine\" listed in the ingredients). It is not recommended to use this on a regular basis, but it okay to use now and then if you have important things to do in the colder weather and you don't want your runny nose to get the best of you. For instance, if you are a competitive skier, you may want to use a nasal spray before your race.\nWhat it does is prevent fluid build-up for a little while, allowing you to complete your activity (such as the race) without worrying about your nose running.\nHowever, it can sometimes cause more of a runny nose after the nasal spray wears off, so this is why it is not recommended to use on a daily basis.\nIf Dristan or another over-the-counter nasal spray is insufficient, see your doctor about the option for a stronger prescription corticosteroid nasal spray. <img> Take an over-the-counter decongestant pill. Something like Sudafed (or anything with \"pseudoephedrine\" in the ingredients list) should work well. You can speak to the pharmacist for advice if you would like help choosing one.\nTaking this type of medication will notably decrease the amount of mucus production in your nose, alleviating symptoms of runny nose from the cold.\nHowever, once again it is important not to use this frequently, as it can worsen your runny nose when the medication wears off. Therefore, only use it if there is something important you want to do in the colder weather, and it is important to you not to have your nose run for that period of time. <img> ",
"Be aware of possible diagnoses. When your nose runs, it may be due to sickness (which will likely be accompanied by other symptoms of a \"cold,\" such as sore throat, cough, etc), being upset (when we cry, excess water from our tears drains through the nose), or cold weather (as our nasal passages are designed to heat the air before it reaches our lungs, and in order to do so your nose produces extra fluid in the cold weather).\nIt may also be related to allergies, irritants in your environment (such as smoke), or a side effect of certain medications. <img> Understand why your nose runs when it's cold. When you breathe through your nose, your sinuses warm and moisten the air by swirling it around the mucous membranes that line the passages. This prevents you from irritating your lungs and throat with air that is cooler than your body temperature.\nWater is a by-product of this process and the excess runs down the back of your throat and out your nose.\nYour sinuses perform this function year round, but because of the temperature difference in cooler weather (especially in wintertime) it is more pronounced in the cold. <img> Know that runny noses from the cold are extremely common. Therefore, they are nothing to get overly worried about. They are so common, in fact, that sometimes it is called \"skier's nose\" due to the fact that nearly 100% of competitive snow sport athletes complain about runny nose!\nA runny nose from the cold is NOT related to an illness (and not related to the \"common cold.\")\nAlthough many people believe there is a link between cold weather and \"catching a cold,\" this is thought to be due to spending more time indoors where people's germs are more readily passed to one another (and is not thought to be related so much to the cold outside). <img> "

How to Fix a Scratched DVD | [
"z5MCvGqxYMh8",
"FfmtDhsGWIy0"
] | [
"Assess the damage. Decide whether your DVD can be fixed, or whether it has irreparable damage.\nAs mentioned above, disks with scratches that go deep will not be able to be mended. To assess the damage, hold the disk up in the sunlight. If sunlight shines through the scratch, the DVD is unlikely to be mended.\nScratches that are circular, around the laser track, are more likely to result in a permanently damaged disk. Small scratches that run across the radius are easier to fix. <img> Clean the DVD. Use a soft cloth and some very clean water. You may also use alcohol, but most other solvents may damage the discs. <img> Find a jewelry cloth (also known as a jeweler's rouge, or a rouge cloth). A cloth specialized for eyeglasses would also do. <img> Hold the disk from the sides with your non-dominant hand. Then, gently wipe the disk from the center to the edges, across the radius, using the jewelry cloth. Continue wiping around the disk, from inside to outside, until the entire disk has been cleaned. <img> Insert the disk into your DVD player. Try to play it, to evaluate if cleaning the disk solved the problem. If it is not repaired, more extreme measures are required. <img> Try to create a uniform surface. There are several methods for doing this:\nBuy rubbing polish from an automotive store. Apply a small amount of the compound. Rub it across the radius until it covers the entire surface. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse and rub with a soft cloth. Use this product in a well-ventilated area, and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after polishing.\nBuy a mechanical scratch remover. This also removes the first layer of disk material and polishes the disk. Insert the DVD and turn the hand crank according to package directions. Buff with your jewelry cleaning cloth.\nBuy a professional DVD scratch polish, such as SkipDr. Apply the product across the radius. Allow it to sit according to package directions, so that the outer layer of disk will be removed. Rinse and/or buff the disk with the jewelry cloth.\nTry basic toothpaste. Get a plain enamel-cleaning paste at your local drugstore. The grit inside toothpaste helps to clean and buff the surface of the disk. Apply toothpaste across the radius until the entire disk is covered. Let the toothpaste dry. Then, rinse it clean and buff with your jewelry cleaning cloth across the radius. <img> ",
"Assess the damage. Decide whether your DVD can be fixed, or whether it has irreparable damage. (For more on this, see above.) <img> Clean the DVD. Use a soft cloth and some very clean water. You can also use alcohol, but many cleaning solvents can damage the discs. <img> Find a jewelry cloth (also known as a jeweler's rouge, or a rouge cloth). A cloth specialized for eyeglasses would also do. <img> Hold the disk from the sides with your non-dominant hand. Then, gently wipe the disk from the center to the edges, across the radius, using the jewelry cloth. Continue wiping around the disk, from inside to outside, until the entire disk has been cleaned. <img> Insert the disk into your DVD player. Try to play it, to evaluate if cleaning the disk solved the problem. If it is not repaired, more extreme measures are required. <img> Rub vaseline on the surface of the DVD. Cover the whole surface, but don't rub it on too thick. The hope is that the vaseline will get into the scratches and minimize their reflectivity. <img> Remove the vaseline. Use a method similar to what you did when cleaning the disc. It may be useful to use alcohol (even if you didn't when initially cleaning the disc) to help break up the vaseline. Make sure there are no smudges or evident residue left behind. <img> "

How to Breathe Correctly to Protect Your Singing Voice | [

] | [
"Breathe from your diaphragm. When you are singing, it is important that you take deep breaths and breathe from your diaphragm or abdomen. This will ensure that you are not keeping too much air in your throat and placing strain on your voice. In order to ensure that you are breathing with your diaphragm, try the following exercise.\nStand up straight and place your hands around the sides of your waist (between your pelvic bone and lowest rib). Then, take a deep breath in and try to make your fingers expand.\nAlternatively, you can lie on your back on the ground and inhale. Try to make your stomach, not your chest rise when you inhale.\nThis will help you learn what it feels like to breath from your diaphragm. <img> Practice combined breathing. When you are singing, you want to try to inhale through both your nose and mouth. If you only inhale through your nose, you will struggle to intake enough air. Similarly, if you only breathe through your mouth, you will put strain on your vocal cords by drying them out. This can actually impact the quality of the sound you produce.\nPractice breathing in through both your mouth and nose while you sing. <img> Control your release. Another important aspect of singing and breathing is slowly exhaling. This will allow your tone to remain even while you sing. In order to practice controlled breathing, take a deep abdominal breath, then release your breath and make \"a “ssss”\" sound. Continue to exhale for approximately ten seconds.\nContinue to practice this technique and work on creating a consistent “ssss” sound throughout the entire exhalation. <img> ",
"Bend your knees slightly. Posture is extremely important and will make it easier for you to breathe properly while singing. This will take pressure off of your vocal cords. Your feet should be positioned shoulder width apart with your knees slightly bent. Never lock your knees in place. <img> Raise your chest. In order to maintain proper singing posture, you should raise your chest slightly and keep your abdomen flat. By engaging your core muscles you can help ensure that you breathe from your diaphragm. This will help to protect your vocal cords. <img> Keep your head up. While you are singing your chin should be parallel to the floor. This will help to take pressure off of your vocal cords, making it easier to sing clearly. <img> Keep your shoulders relaxed. When you are breathing for singing, your shoulders should be relaxed. This will help to ensure that you take deep abdominal breaths, rather than shallow breaths. Avoid raising your shoulders while you breathe in. Instead, keep your shoulders down and relaxed. <img> Relax your neck, jaw, and face muscles. While singing, you do not want to strain or put pressure on your vocal cords by tensing the surrounding muscles. This can make it much more difficult to sing and will put additional strain on your voice. <img> ",
"Warm up before singing. Before you begin singing you should warm up your vocal cords. This way you will not strain your voice. This will help ensure that your vocal cords and diaphragm are able to support and produce the sound that is required while singing.\nYou could try humming or practicing tongue twisters before you start singing. <img> Give your vocal cords adequate rest. You can strain your singing voice through overuse. Avoid talking too much in extremely loud environments. Similarly, you should never sing when you have a cold. This could put unnecessary strain on your voice. Make sure you give your vocal cords time to rest and repair. <img> Drink water. You can also protect your singing voice by drinking plenty of water. Make sure to drink between six and eight glasses of water daily. This will keep your vocal cords hydrated. A dry throat can strain and damage your singing voice. <img> Avoid smoking. Smoking cigarettes can cause irreversible damage to your lungs and vocal cords. The smoke dries out and irritates the vocal cords causing them to swell. If smoking continues over a long period of time, your voice may begin to sound hoarse and raspy. <img> Exercise regularly. Aerobic exercise, such as swimming, running, or cycling can help to expand your lungs and clear your airways. This will make it easier for you to sing and will improve the quality and control of your singing voice. For the best results, exercise for at least 30 minutes four to five times per week. <img> "

"Make sure your jeans fit properly. Choose a pair of jeans that flatters your figure and fits your body. Avoid jeans that are too snug in the hips and thighs. For a dressy look, you should also avoid jeans that are loose and baggy. <img> Choose jeans which fit well in the waist. Make sure your jeans rise high enough in the waist to provide coverage when you sit down. Low-rise jeans usually look more youthful and casual than other styles, so opt for a medium or high rise for a dressier appearance. <img> Avoid jeans with holes or stains. Distressed jeans are popular, but they give off an extremely casual vibe. If you're trying to dress up, make sure your jeans don't have holes and are free from stains. <img> Choose dark jeans over lighter colors if you have them. You can still dress up light to medium wash jeans, but darker shades of denim look nicer and more formal than lighter shades. Dark wash jeans are also the most appropriate for casual business occasions.\nIn addition to dark blues, you could also choose black jeans and dark gray jeans. <img> Go with a classic cut, such as boot-cut or straight, for versatility. A skinny jean may work under some circumstances, but they can look more rock-star than dressy. Boot-cut or straight-leg jeans more closely resemble trousers, and they will work for nearly anything from a fun night out with friends to a casual meeting with a new client. <img> Wear a colored jean for a bold, stylish look. Black or white denim can be dressed up with relative ease. You might also be able to create a dressy look by pairing a brightly-colored denim with a blouse in a coordinating color or pattern. <img> ",
"Wear a classic button-down shirt for a crisp look. A long-sleeve button-down shirt looks crisp, clean, and business-like when you tuck it into a pair of jeans. Look for a shirt in a plain color or one with vertical pinstripes, then pair it with a pair of dark jeans for a business-casual look.\nTry wearing a white, long-sleeved button down tucked into a pair of boot cut jeans in a dark wash for a preppy look. <img> Choose a silk or lace blouse for an elegant look. Feminine fabrics like lace, chiffon, and silk instantly make any outfit look dressier. The sophistication of your top will likely prove more than enough to counteract the casual nature of your jeans.\nA flowy silk blouse and a pair of pumps is a good option if you want to dress up a pair of jeans in a medium wash. <img> Try a nice sweater with jeans to dress up on a cool day. Shy away from bulky sweaters and stick with stylish cuts. Look for sweaters with an interesting neckline, such as a boat neck, v-neck, or crew neck.\nDress up a pair of slim-fitting jeans by wearing a solid-colored sweater over a collared shirt. Pick a collared shirt in a bright hue to bring an unexpected pop of color to your outfit. <img> Choose a bold print if you love to be the center of attention. Striking geometric prints, wide stripes, and bold florals are all great prints to pair with dark jeans to dress them up. If you do opt for a daring print, keep your shoes and accessories simple.\nTo keep your bold top from taking over your outfit, try layering it under a jacket. For example, you could wear a tee with large horizontal stripes under a blazer. When worn with a pair of jeans in a relaxed fit, you'll have a look that's cool and casual while still being appropriate for most settings. <img> Choose a delicate print for a more subtle look. If you're looking to blend in rather than stand out, you could look for a top in a delicate print, like a small floral pattern, pinstripes, or Swiss dots.\nA button-down shirt with pinstripes paired with a dark-wash denim and a pair of loafers will have you ready for Casual Friday. <img> Pair a sparkly top with jeans for a night out. Sequins and metallics can really dazzle under bright lights, but jeans will keep you from looking overworked. This is a great look for a girls' night or a date.\nA black shirt covered with black sequins is a classy way to get the sparkle you love. Pair it with your favorite heels or flats for a night-time look that's just right. <img> Throw a dress over your jeans for a feminine look. Pick out a playful, flowing spring or summer sundress to throw over a pair of skinny jeans. Gravitate toward knee-length dresses. Also stick with dresses that are a little more casual in nature, rather than formal dresses or work dresses.\nA knee-length, empire-waist dress in a bold color looks cute when worn over a pair of slim-fitting ankle-length trousers. Pair with platform pumps to elongate your legs. <img> Choose a plain, fitted t-shirt or tank top to show off accessories. On its own, a plain shirt and jeans may still look casual, but the combination makes a perfect blank canvas for tailored jackets, sparkly shoes, and rich accessories. Stick with solid colors over graphic tees, and gravitate toward neutral colors like white, black, and brown for the greatest versatility.\nIf you have an accessory like a necklace or a belt buckle you really want to show off, wear an open jacket and tuck a plain T-shirt into your jeans. <img> ",
"Add a blazer over your top to create a more professional look. A classic blazer can easily dress up a simple shirt and jeans, transforming it from everyday casual to business-casual. Look for a fitted blazer in a traditional color, like black, navy, or deep gray.\nAlternatively, look for a blazer in a bright color to add a little spice and personality to your look.\nAny pair of jeans looks great with a crisp white tee, a blazer, and a sharp pair of shoes. To make the look more feminine, add on a statement necklace or a stack of eye-catching bracelets.\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\tSusan Kim\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProfessional Stylist\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSusan Kim is the owner of Sum+Style Co., a Seattle-based personal styling company focused on innovative and approachable fashion. She has over 5 years of experience in the fashion industry, and received her AA from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSusan Kim\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProfessional Stylist\t\t\t\tBlazers can work for a night-time look, too: Professional stylist Susan Kim says: \"If you're wearing dark jeans for a night out, wear a low cut V-neck cami top and a pair of nice open-toed heels. Then, add a blazer to give your outfit a polished look. You can always take off your blazer later in the night if you want to show off your cami.\" <img> Wear a jacket with a strong shoulder for a high-fashion look. Structured shoulders make a fashion statement, so look for a jacket with interesting shoulder details. A look this strong benefits from being dressed down with a pair of jeans.\nA leather jacket with strong shoulders looks great worn with slim-fitting jeans, ankle boots, and a simple tee or tank. <img> Try a belted jacket to emphasize your waist. A belted jacket adds structure to your outfit, easily dressing up even the simplest of shirt/jean combinations.\nWear a pair of straight-leg jeans in a dark color with a belted trench coat and a pair of practical shoes for a no-nonsense look you can wear almost anywhere. <img> Slip on a fitted cardigan sweater for a feminine look. When you want to play up your femininity, a fitted cardigan in cream or white is just the thing. Look for a cardigan with feminine details, like faux pearl buttons, in order to make your jeans look even dressier.\nWear your fitted cardigan over a pretty top, like a lacy camisole. Complete the look with a pair of boot-cut jeans, a strand of pearls, and Mary Janes. <img> ",
"Don your favorite heels for a quick way to dress up jeans. Adding a pair of heels is one of the fastest way to make denim look dressier. Stiletto heels work especially well, but kitten heels can also work. Go for black or another neutral for a classic look, while a bright shoe can add a bold touch.\nA low pair of heels can dress up a simple T-shirt and boot-cut jeans combination, while a pair of stilettos will bring elegance to relaxed straight-leg jeans. <img> Wear a pair of flats for simple elegance. A nice pair of flats is a classic way to look pulled together. Choose ballet flats for a feminine look or boat shoes for a dash of vintage style.\nEmbellishments such as bows or gems can add more flair to a pair of flats.\nWear a crew-neck sweater with straight-leg jeans and a pair of boat shoes for a classically preppy look. <img> Choose a bold shoe to make your outfit pop. If you have dark jeans and a dressy top in a neutral color, consider a bright shoe, like a red pump or a crocodile skin flat, to add a chic twist to your outfit.\nShow off your cool street style with a pair of brightly-colored suede shoes and a pair of ankle-length jeans with a tucked-in Oxford shirt. <img> Try an ankle-high fashion boot for a modern look. Leather boots have a naturally sophisticated look, and ankle-length boots have become especially popular in recent years. Ankle-length boots work well with nearly any cut, from the classic boot-cut to the more modern skinny leg.\nWear a pair of ankle boots with a low heel under a pair of boot-cut jeans and a T-shirt topped with a scarf for the perfect fall look. <img> Choose a knee-high fashion boot to dress up snug skinny jeans. Knee-high boots can also look trendy, and if paired with a dark jean and a nice blouse, they can make an outfit look city chic. Pair these boots with a snug skinny jean and zip the boot up over your jean. Wearing these boots beneath your jeans defeats the purpose of having a boot with such a tall height.\nWear knee-high riding boots with skinny jeans and a long sweater for preppy winter style. <img> Opt for a conservative pair of loafers for the office. Instead of getting too casual with your shoes on casual Fridays, keep your footwear professional. Stick with high quality leather loafers to add structure and professionalism to your jeans.\nAn Oxford shirt paired with dark-wash, straight-leg jeans and a pair of leather loafers is the perfect blend between laid-back and dressy for an informal work meeting or a dinner with friends. <img> Experiment with shoe clips to add extra glam to your look. These look like barrettes for your shoes, and they provide a quick, easy way of dressing up an otherwise simple pair of flats.\nTry wearing a plain black shirt and a pair of slim-leg jeans to really show off your sparkly shoe clips. <img> ",
"Throw on a fashion scarf to dress up a plain top. A silk or satin fashion scarf in a bright, bold color dresses up your jeans for a number of occasions. You can wear one with a button-down shirt to dress up your jeans for the office, or you can wear one with a fitted t-shirt to dress up your jeans for the weekend. <img> Wear a belt to add structure to your outfit. A nice belt can be just the thing you need to bump up your ensemble from casual to chic. Look for a nice leather belt, but don't be afraid of an eye-catching belt buckle. Tuck in your shirt for extra polish. <img> Opt for pearls to create a classic, conservative look. Pearls are the ultimate in timeless sophistication. A simple strand of pearls around your neck or subdued pearl post earrings can even make jeans look dressy. <img> Throw a colorful bag over your shoulder for a fun, playful look. Like colorful necklaces and bracelets, this style element can help transform your outfit into a semi-dressy ensemble for a night out with friends. It may not, however, work for the office or a more demanding occasion. <img> Carry a leather satchel for a masculine look. Carrying a leather bag instantly makes you look like you're going somewhere important. Look for a bag in well-made leather, with quality hardware and seams to make sure it lasts.\nMake your business-casual look seem even more pulled-together by adding a rich camel leather bag to your tucked-in Oxford and dark boot-cut jeans. <img> Choose a smaller, more subtle purse for dressier occasions. For a romantic date or an evening function, consider a clutch or other small purse that hangs off a delicate strap. Smaller purses naturally look a little dressier than larger purses, especially in a neutral color like black or brown. <img> Dress up your appearance using cosmetics if you wear makeup. For an classic look that's not overwhelming, focus on one feature and play it up. Wear a bold shade of lipstick or give yourself smoky eyes, then keep the rest of your look simple. <img> Try a chunky, colorful necklace or bangle bracelets for a night out. These may not make your outfit look more professional, but a colorful piece of jewelry may help transform it for a night out with friends. <img> "

How to Fix a Dislocated Shoulder | [
"kY2btwmMUNvT",
"q2Yv7LRzCcIR",
"nTWN6Bf9QKvQ"
] | [
"Recognize the symptoms. A dislocated shoulder is usually caused by either falling onto an outstretched arm or the shoulder being impacted from behind. The injury causes sudden and severe pain, preceded by a popping feeling and/or sound. The shoulder will look visibly deformed or out-of-place, and swelling and bruising appear quickly. Moving the shoulder is not possible until it is relocated.\nA dislocated shoulder hangs lower than the uninjured side and you can usually see a depression or groove in the lateral (deltoid) muscle of the shoulder.\nA shoulder dislocation may also cause numbness, tingling and/or weakness down the arm and into the hand. If blood vessels are damaged, the lower arm and hand on the injured side will feel cold and turn a bluish color.\nAbout 25% of first-time shoulder dislocations involve fractures of the upper arm (humerus) or shoulder girdle. <img> Immobilize your arm. While you're waiting to get medical attention, it's important to not move (or attempt to move) a dislocated shoulder because you may make the injury worse. A bone fracture, damaged nerve or ripped blood vessel may be involved, so any movement could have dire consequences. Instead, bend your elbow, wrap your forearm around your stomach area and hold it in position with a sling.\nIf you don't have access to a ready-made sling, then make one from a pillow case or article of clothing. Put the sling under your elbow/forearm and tie the ends around your neck. Slings immobilize and protect the shoulder from further injury, and often greatly reduce the degree of pain.\nAbout 95% of shoulder dislocations are in the anterior direction, which means the upper arm bone (humerus) is pushed forward out of its socket. <img> Ice your shoulder. Getting ice or something cold onto a dislocated shoulder joint as soon as possible is important in order to inhibit inflammation, which usually translates into less pain. Ice causes small blood vessels to constrict (narrow), which limits the amount of blood and inflammation that can flow into and around the injured area. Apply the crushed ice to the shoulder for about 15 – 20 minutes at a time (or until the area feels numb) every hour or so.\nAlways wrap ice in a thin cloth, towel or plastic bag before applying it to bare skin — it'll help prevent frostbite or skin irritation.\nIf you don't have access to crushed ice or ice cubes, then use some frozen veggies from the freezer or a frozen gel pack. <img> Take pain medications. Once the dislocated shoulder is immobilized and covered in a bag of ice, consider taking some over-the-counter medication to further combat the inflammation and pain. The pain from a dislocated shoulder is often described as almost unbearable due to all the stretched and/or torn ligaments, tendons and muscles that occur, in addition to potential bone fractures and cracked cartilage. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) are likely the best choices because they are strong anti-inflammatories, although acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be helpful for pain control also.\nFor a dislocated shoulder that also involves significant internal bleeding (you'll see lots of bruising), avoid ibuprofen and naproxen because they tend to \"thin\" the blood and reduce its clotting ability.\nA muscle relaxant medication might also be indicated if the muscles around the dislocated joint are spasming. However, never mix different types of drugs concurrently — pick one or the other. <img> ",
"Relocate your shoulder only in emergency situations. Under most situations, waiting for professional medical help is the best idea and certainly the safest way to go, but sometimes that's not possible. If you're in an isolated situation far from medical attention (camping, mountain climbing, traveling abroad), the potential risks of fixing your own shoulder — or that of a friend or family member — may not outweigh the benefits of experiencing immediate pain relief and increased arm/shoulder mobility.\nAs a general rule of thumb, if you can get medical assistance within 12 hours, then wait patiently and try to reduce the discomfort with ice, painkillers and a sling. If a much longer waiting time is apparent, particularly if you need some mobility in your shoulder to get to a hospital, then relocating your shoulder might be considered.\nThe main complications related to trying to relocate your own shoulder are: further tearing muscles, ligaments and tendons; damaging nerves and blood vessels; life-threatening bleeding; severe pain that results in loss of consciousness. <img> Ask for help in an emergency situation. If you're forced to consider relocating your own shoulder in an emergency situation, then realize that putting it back in without assistance is nearly impossible. As such, ask for help or offer to help someone else if in an emergency situation. People may be reluctant to help you because they don't want to cause you more pain or risk injuring your shoulder more, so try to reassure them and release them from any liability.\nIf you're needed to help someone else relocate his shoulder, make sure to get his consent and tell him clearly about your lack of medical training (if applicable). You don't want to face any litigation for trying to be helpful if things go wrong.\nIf you have a phone and can make a call, try contacting emergency services for advice and support. Even if they can't send medical personnel to you right away, they may be able to offer helpful instructions. <img> Lay on your back and abduct your arm. Probably the easiest way for non-professionals to relocate your shoulder joint is if you lay flat on your back with your injured arm away from your body at a 90 degree angle. Then get your friend or a bystander to firmly grab your hand or wrist and slowly (but firmly) pull on your arm, which will create traction. The person may have to position her feet against your torso for additional leverage. Pulling the arm at that angle allows the head of the humerus to slide under the bone of your shoulder blade and back into its socket with relative ease.\nRemember to use a slow, steady pull (without any fast or jerky movements) directly away from the body until the shoulder re-articulates. If it successful, you will hear a \"clunk\" and feel the shoulder get back into position.\nAs soon as the shoulder relocates, the level of pain associated with the injury will reduce significantly. However, the shoulder will still be unstable, so make a sling and immobilize the arm if possible. <img> ",
"See a doctor as soon as you can. Getting to a doctor (or an appropriately trained medical professional) quickly is important when dealing with a dislocated shoulder because when the muscles, tendons and ligaments around the injury tighten up, the head of the humerus becomes very difficult to relocate without surgical intervention. Most doctors will likely want to x-ray your shoulder area before doing anything else in order to rule out a fracture.\nIf nothing is broken or badly torn, then the doctor can perform a closed reduction maneuver on the shoulder joint, although you may need a sedative, strong muscle relaxant or general anesthetic before the physical manipulation can be done due to the severe pain.\nA common reduction method for the shoulder joint is called the Hennepin maneuver, which utilizes external rotation of the shoulder. While laying flat, the doctor will flex your elbow to 90 degrees and gradually rotate your shoulder outward (external rotation). Some gentle pushing while in this position is usually enough for the joint to relocate.\nThere are a handful of other reduction techniques that doctors use — it depends on what they feel comfortable with. <img> Prepare yourself for the possibility of surgery. If your shoulder is regularly dislocating (due to a bone deformity or ligament laxity), or if any bones are fractured or nerves and/or blood vessels ripped, then you'll need surgery to repair the damage and have the shoulder joint reduced openly. Surgery is sometimes the best option because it can fix internal damage and stabilize the joint, which greatly reduces the risk of dislocation in the future.\nThere are many different surgical procedures that are performed, so it depends on the extent of the damage and the patient's lifestyle/activity level as to which technique is used.\nSome studies suggest that surgical \"open\" reduction may be the best course of action for active adults younger than 30 years due to lower recurrence rates and better quality of life outcomes. <img> Rehabilitate your shoulder. Regardless if you get a closed manual reduction or an open surgical reduction, you should get a referral for physiotherapy and strengthen your shoulder joint. Physical therapists, chiropractors and/or athletic therapists can show you specific stretches to regain full mobility and range of motion in your shoulder, as well as exercises that strengthen and tighten the joint so that it's unlikely to dislocate in the future.\nIt often takes two to four weeks of recovery before a referral to physical therapy is appropriate. Wearing a sling, applying ice and taking over-the-counter medications is all part of the recovery phase.\nThe total time to rehabilitate and recover from a shoulder dislocation ranges from three to six months, depending on the severity of injury and if the patient is an athlete or not. <img> "

How to Whip and Nae Nae | [

"Lower into a squat with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep your core engaged and your back leaning slightly forward. Your toes should be pointing out at a 45 degree angle and your thighs parallel to the ground.\nA slight arch in your back adds some sensuality to the pose.\nThis can be a very challenging position to hold because it really works your leg muscles. Take a break if you need to. <img> Raise your left arm in front of you to chin level, with your hand in a fist. This will set you up for the \"whip.\" Think of it like holding an imaginary steering wheel with 1 hand. Rotate your arm from side to side while it’s in front of you as if you were driving a car.\nKeep your right arm hanging loosely at your side or resting on your hip.\nTry not to let your extended arm drop down in front of you while you dance. <img> Pulse your hips up and down in small movements, keeping your arm up. This is the move known as the \"whip.\" Stay in the squat position while you bounce your hips, keeping your feet planted firmly on the ground. Your knees will bend slightly while you bob up and down, but most of the motion should come from your hips and core.\nYou can also move your hips from side to side as you move up and down. <img> Raise your right arm over your shoulder and let your left arm hang down. Continue rocking your hips while you do this. This move is known as the “nae nae.” Your hand will be open in the air, almost as if you’re waving to someone.\nYou can also move your shoulders from front to back in a subtle shimmy while you’re swaying to personalize the move. <img> Do the \"whip\" on both sides, swinging your left arm and then your right arm forward. This is the same motion you made previously but sped up and switching arms. Raise your left arm first, and then as it lowers, raise your right arm.\nFor extra emphasis, stomp with the opposite foot while you raise your arm. For example, when you bring your left arm up, stomp down with your right foot. <img> Raise your left arm over your shoulder, letting your right arm hang down. You’re repeating the nae nae on the other side now. Remember to keep your hand open with your palm facing out while you sway your hips.\nAdd some individual flair by bending your knees towards the ground while you nae nae so you sink lower. Changing levels is a technique dancers use to make their performance more interesting. <img> Practice putting all of the moves together and repeating them. Now that you know the basic moves, work on doing them faster until you can dance to the tempo of the song. Practice them slowly to make sure you have the technique down, then gradually build up speed.\nYou can add in some freestyle moves or other hip hop dance moves to mix it up.\nHow to Practice the Whip and Nae Nae\nWatch a video tutorial online. It can help to see someone guiding you through the steps.\nDance in front of a mirror. You’ll be able to see what you look like and what can use improvement.\nTake a hip hop dance class. Even if you don’t learn the whip and nae nae, you’ll work on different techniques and skills that will improve any dance that you do.\nInvite your friends over for a dance party. It’s a lot more fun to learn a new dance with your friends. You can all work on the moves together. <img> ",
"Try the stanky leg if you want to mix up the “whip” part of your dance. Stick 1 of your legs out in front of you while you’re in a squat, placing your foot on the ground. Lean your entire body away from that leg while you move your planted foot in small circular motions. Your foot shouldn’t come off the ground while you’re rotating it.\nThe stanky leg feels most natural if you do it with the leg that’s opposite of whichever arm you have out in front of you. For example, if your right arm is raised, do the stanky leg with your left. <img> Incorporate the “watch me” move to show a little attitude. This motion is similar to the whip move, except you’re alternating raising your arms in front of you to the beat of the music. As your left arm drops down, your right arm rises, and then vice versa.\nMove your shoulders up and down while you swing your arms, too, for a more dramatic effect. <img> Do the “duff” if you want to add a military vibe to your dance. This move looks like a soldier marching. Bend your right arm at the elbow as you lift it up to your chest, lifting your right knee up at the same time. Then repeat on the left side. Make the motions sharp and clean.\nYou can tilt your head towards the arm and leg that are being lifted to exaggerate the dance move, too.\nFist your hands when you’re bending your arm up for a more pronounced movement. <img> \"Break\" your legs for a cool visual effect. No, you won’t literally be breaking your legs. It’s just the name for this crazy-looking dance move. Stand with your legs together, then bend your knees and swing your legs from side to side. Keep your knees pressed tightly together the whole time.\nStay loose so you can move your legs more fluidly. The stiffer you are, the more awkward you’ll look. <img> "

"Build your wardrobe with classic staples. Having a few good staples goes a long way. You can mix and match them with each other and employ layers for all seasons. Choose classic items for an elegant appearance that doesn't require a lot of forethought.\nFor a dressed up event, any woman will tell you that their 'little black dress' is a staple. To wear the dress for other occasions, interchange dressy pumps for simple black flats. For men, it's important to own a classic black suit and quality dress shoes.\nSome classic tops include a knit sweater or cardigan in a light color, a white shirt with a scooped neckline, and a white long-sleeve button down shirt.\nClassic bottoms include black slacks or pants, along with dark-wash denim.\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\tJoanne Gruber\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProfessional Stylist\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoanne Gruber is the owner of The Closet Stylist, a personal style service combining wardrobe editing with organization. She has worked in the fashion and style industries for over 10 years.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoanne Gruber\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProfessional Stylist\t\t\t\tBasics can still be very versatile. Stylist and wardrobe organizer Joanne Gruber says: \"You don't have to have a closet full of the latest styles to be trendy. Understand what silhouettes look good on your body and what styles fit your identity. Then, choose basics that you can customize. For example, you can pair a silk blouse with leather pants and pumps for a night out, then wear the same blouse with slacks and a blazer for work.\" <img> Buy quality over quantity. Quality material and well thought-out design will go much further in a simple wardrobe than discount or cheaply made clothing. You will be able to create multiple outfits from fewer items when the clothing fits you well and lasts a long time.\nBe sure to take your time finding and purchasing the classic clothes you decide to invest in.\nIf you want to dress up your look, a statement necklace, earrings, or other piece of jewelry will go a long way. <img> Keep a pair of jeans in your wardrobe. Jeans are a staple you can always rely on for a simple look. Choose jeans that are are a solid, neutral color, and don't have a large amount of detail, rips, or other decorations and seam-work on them.They'll go with everything.\nDark wash jeans are the best option since they compliment just about any top and look slimming.\nFor the same reasons, black denim, yoga, or cotton pants are also a great staple for your wardrobe. Dark pants go well with a wide variety of other colors, and can be dressed up or down, so the options for tops and shoes are endless. <img> Pair dark pants with a light top. To keep the simple look, choose a white or gray top. Avoid bold patterned shirts and bright colors.\nIf you have a lighter pair of jeans or pants, a black top can also look nice.\nChoose tops in any type of material, from cotton jersey to silk or satin. <img> Wear practical shoes. If you need to dress up an outfit you'll want classic solid color dress shoes for men, or black pumps or flats for ladies. Depending on the weather, you may want to wear classic sneakers (such as solid color tennis shoes), flats, or sandals. Wear shoes that feel comfortable, aren't flashy or trendy (less is more), and match the rest of your outfit.\nBe smart about your style. For instance, if you live in an area that gets a lot of rain you will likely need to pair your outfit with rain boots.\nFor simplicity's sake, you may plan to have one pair of simple walking shoes for each season: sandals for summer, flats for fall, ankle boots for winter, and so on. <img> Employ one accent piece to show your uniqueness. Because your outfit is pleasantly simple, it allows for something else like tattoos, big hair, or a statement necklace to really take the stage. If you have something uniquely you, play that up as your main attraction.\nWear clothes that leave tattoos exposed to show them off.\nYou can focus on an item, such as a bright colored scarf, by wearing it with a contrasting white top.\tEXPERT TIP\t\"One great accessory you can take your outfit from ordinary to unique.\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSusan Kim\t\t\t\t\tProfessional Stylist\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSusan Kim is the owner of Sum+Style Co., a Seattle-based personal styling company focused on innovative and approachable fashion.

"Wash and moisturize your face. To start fresh and with a clean slate you'll want to rinse your face with cold water. If you have dry skin, apply a moisturizer. For some, this is the only step you'll need if you choose not to apply makeup.\nA great oil facial oil that suites almost any skin-type is jojoba oil, because it neutralizes and accommodates to oily or dry skin.\nCoconut oil as a face moisturizer works well used the night before you're going for a simple look. It is oily to leave on during the day but soaks into your skin overnight. <img> Use toner if you're choosing to apply makeup. Toner will cleanse your pores more deeply than just washing your face with water. It will also make pores shrink, which will give your skin a smoother look. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and dab it all over your face, being careful around your eyes.\nToner is a good option for men, too. It smells fresh and can help you avoid pimples or bumps from shaving. Just be sure not to use toner directly after you shave, as it may contain alcohol and burn. <img> Tweeze your eyebrows. Shape your brows to look cleaned up and attractive, even if you do nothing else. You can also use an eyebrow pencil to help fill in sparse areas and give definition. To figure out how to shape your brows,\nLook in the mirror and visualize a line from the corner of your nose straight up until it reaches your eyebrow; that should be the place where your brow begins.\nIdentify the peak of your arch by drawing an imaginary angled line from the corner of your nose through your pupil.\nIdentify the spot where your brow should stop by making another line from the corner of your nose angled to the outer corner of your eye.\nPluck the hairs that fall outside the areas you identified. <img> Consider using foundation and concealer. To further smooth out your skin tone while keeping things simple, you might want to use foundation and concealer. It's a good way to cover blemishes without going over the top.\nUse your fingers or a makeup brush to apply foundation evenly on your face. It is helpful to dab dots around your face and then blend it in so there aren't uneven areas.\nUse concealer to cover dark spots, acne, and especially under your eyes to hide dark circles.\nYou can brush powder over your face after using concealer to further give the appearance of smooth skin and 'set' your makeup.\nIf you want to take it one step further, apply a light blush. Smile and use a brush to sweep blush onto the raised area of your cheeks. The strokes should go from the center and out. <img> Choose neutral eye makeup. Look for pallets that have browns, pinks or a bronze hue depending on what may match your skin tone. Use a makeup brush to blend a light shadow from your eyebrows down to your eye lid crease.\nFor more definition, use black eyeliner on upper and/or lower lids. Crimp your lashes and apply mascara.\nFor a basic winged look, apply a line of eyeliner to the top of your eye with a light and short curve up at the outer corners of your eyes.\nAnother simple option for eyeliner is a line following the bottom inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Again, this should not be thick or stand out, but just enough to add attention to your eyes.\nUse pencil eyeliners rather than liquid eyeliners for a more natural and blended look. <img> ",
"Pick a part. For both men and women, part your hair in a different way to give yourself an easy, new style. There is the middle part, a side part, and even the zig-zag part to try, where sections of hair slightly cross over each other toward the front of the head.\nIf you have a square face, the side part is most attractive, while the center part is better left for those with round faces. <img> Go with a teased look. If you want to give the look of more volume, gather sections of your hair and use a comb to lightly brush about an inch away from your scalp back toward your roots. This can be helpful if you want a messy bun or ponytail look without your hair hugging tight to your head.\nMen, this will work for you as well. If you have long enough hair you can try teasing sections to give yourself texture. Avoid doing this all over, especially not close to the face on the sides of the head and over the ears. Instead, try limiting it to the section above your temples and further back. <img> Tell your barber to cut your hair shorter on the sides. Men can pull off looking classic by cutting the hair on the sides of their head and keeping the top section longer. This is called a fade haircut. You can use gel and brush the section back, or finger comb gel in if you choose to style it in the morning.\nOverall this hairstyle is easy to maintain and there are many variations in length and tapering which you and/or your barber can try out. <img> Work a classic crew cut. It doesn't actually get much simpler than this unless you get a buzzcut. There is little maintenance here and it keeps your hair from taking over your style. Good grooming and clean cut lines will take this look to the next level. <img> Put your hair in a ponytail. If your hair is long enough, one of the most basic and simple hair styles is a ponytail. Tie your hair up around the higher 3rd of the back of your head. If you have a bob that fits into a smaller ponytail, that works as well. <img> Throw it up into a messy bun. Another simple hairstyle is the bun. Twist your ponytail around and secure a knot with another hair tie, or use bobby pins if your hair slips out.\nFor a stylish hairdo, men can pull their hair back into a man-bun and add an under-shave cut to take it a step further.\nPull a couple pieces of hair loose from above your temples for a more relaxed look. <img> Pull back half of your hair. Gather hair from above your ears back toward the mid-top area of your scalp and secure with a hair tie or clip. You can also gather smaller sections away from your face and secure back. Use a head band to create another style that keeps hair out of your face without pulling it all back. <img> Braid your hair. A simple, single braid down the back can be a great way to pull off a simple yet attractive design. A french braid is even more attractive and can be made into two for a whole different look. You could also form two small braids from sections off the sides of your temples and tie them back for a nice style.\nFishtail braids are also beautiful and easy to learn by watching a YouTube video or two, or asking a friend who knows how. <img> "

"17NJolwRZnf8"
] | [
"Open Microsoft Excel. Double-click the Excel program icon, which resembles a white \"X\" on a green folder. Excel will open to its home page.\nIf you already have an Excel spreadsheet with data input, instead double-click the spreadsheet and skip the next two steps. <img> Click Blank Workbook. It's on the Excel home page. Doing so will open a new spreadsheet for your data.\nOn a Mac, Excel may just open to a blank workbook automatically depending on your settings. If so, skip this step. <img> Enter your data. A line graph requires two axes in order to function. Enter your data into two columns. For ease of use, set your X-axis data (time) in the left column and your recorded observations in the right column.\nFor example, tracking your budget over the year would have the date in the left column and an expense in the right. <img> Select your data. Click and drag your mouse from the top-left cell in the data group to the bottom-right cell in the data group. This will highlight all of your data.\nMake sure you include column headers if you have them. <img> Click the Insert tab. It's on the left side of the green ribbon that's at the top of the Excel window. This will open the Insert toolbar below the green ribbon. <img> Click the \"Line Graph\" icon. It's the box with several lines drawn on it in the Charts group of options. A drop-down menu will appear. <img> Select a graph style. Hover your mouse cursor over a line graph template in the drop-down menu to see what it will look like with your data. You should see a graph window pop up in the middle of your Excel window. <img> Click a graph style. Once you decide on a template, clicking it will create your line graph in the middle of the Excel window. <img> ",
"Customize your graph's design. Once you create your graph, the Design toolbar will open. You can change your graph's design and appearance by clicking one of the variations in the \"Chart Styles\" section of the toolbar.\nIf this toolbar doesn't open, click your graph and then click the Design tab in the green ribbon. <img> Move your line graph. Click and drag the white space near the top of the line graph to move it.\nYou can also move specific sections of the line graph (e.g., the title) by clicking and dragging them around within the line graph's window. <img> Resize the graph. Click and drag one of the circles on one of the edges or corners of the graph window in or out to shrink or enlarge your graph. <img> Change the graph's title. Double-click the title of the graph, then select the \"Chart Title\" text and type in your graph's name. Clicking anywhere off of the graph's name box will save the text.\nYou can do this for your graph's axes' labels as well. <img> "

"Click on the \"Your Account.\" drop-down box on the Amazon homepage. You can find this option under your name on the top right-hand side of the page. <img> Click on \"Your Seller Account.\" This can be found near the top of the menu on the right column on the page. <img> Click \"Start Selling.\" This will take you to a new page where you can choose which type of seller you are. Click this option under \"Individual Sellers\" or \"Professional Sellers,\" depending on the type of seller you'd like to become. Individual Sellers tend to be free from selling fees (with the exception of commission Amazon takes from each order) while the Professional Sellers are fee-based and tend to mostly be used by those who own (rather profitable) offline stores otherwise. <img> Type in the relevant information. The next page will take you to a page where you can write down your seller information, such as your credit card information (that will be used in the event the direct deposit from your funds has been released and you'll need to refund an order without selling other items), seller (business) name, and billing address. <img> Verify your phone number. Just type in your phone number, press \"Call now,\" and type the 4-digit pin you're given into your phone after you receive and automated phone call. <img> Click \"Register and Continue.\" This should finish setting up your seller account. <img> ",
"Log in to your Amazon account. If you haven't already created an Amazon account, then go to the log-on page, type your email address in the email box, click no to the password available; click the Submit button then follow the prompts for other information. You'll have to provide your name, email address, and a password you'd like to use. This will only take a few minutes. <img> Search for the item you want to sell on the Amazon website. Search Amazon's database by selecting the category that you think best fits your item and by using keywords. Keywords could include the name of the item, title of the book or film, as well as the edition of the product. You can also search by ISBN, UPC or ASIN. It is vital that you find the exact version and format of your item, so that customers receive exactly what they ordered. Be warned: unsatisfied customers will dish out bad reviews for poor service.\nAmazon will also provide a list of recent items you purchased through its database, so if you'd like to sell one of those items, you can select it from the list. <img> Click \"Sell yours here\" once you've found the item. <img> Select the condition of your item. Choose from a list of different condition types, which range from new to used to collectible. Select the condition which best reflects the condition of your item. Although you can sell some items under a \"Collectible\" listing, most sellers choose the Used-Like New, Used-Very Good, Used-Good, or Used-Acceptable listings. Certain terms and conditions exist for selling things under Collectible that you can find when you try to sell these types of items. <img> Add a condition note, about your exact product. The condition note allows you to add extra information about the condition of your item. Use this to inform customers about details which are not already explicit in the description given by Amazon. You may also like to add a note about your service. Examples:\nNo box, cartridge only\nInstructions are not included\nFew scratches on front cover and disc\nFirst class delivery <img> Select a price for your item. You can set your item at any price but you have more chance of selling if you set your price below Amazon's selling price and that of competing individuals. <img> Select the quantity of the particular item you have at hand. Select how many of this item you would like to sell. For individual sellers, this will usually remain at 1. <img> Select your shipping methods. This section allows you to expand your shipping zone to multiple countries and via multiple methods other than the \"Standard shipping\". Expedited shipping is also offered to all sellers, but that includes additional responsibilities. If you're an individual seller, it's easier to keep your shipments to your own country. <img> Click \"Submit listing.\" This will put the item on sale on Amazon. If you don't have a seller account yet, then you'll have to create the account and then submit the listing. If you want to know how to create a seller account, just follow the steps in the next section. <img> ",
"Go to your Seller Account. <img> Click \"View your recent Marketplace orders.\" You can find this option under the \"Manage Your Orders\" heading. <img> Locate the order. <img> Verify that the status is complete.

You can do this by clicking the \"view your current orders\" link in your seller account and then clicking on the \"print packing slip\" link next to your order. The packing slip provides the address the item is to be sent to and a summary of the order. <img> Package the item. Your item needs to be packaged well so that it stays in good condition on its journey to your buyer. The order summary should be placed within the package and the address should be stuck or written on the outside. <img> Mail the item. You can send your order however you want. Remember that the quicker the customer receives their item, the better the review they are likely to give you. <img> Confirm shipment. Back on the \"view your orders\" page, click the \"confirm shipment\" button and type in the delivery information. <img> Receive payment. Only once shipment has been confirmed will the buyer's account be charged. For legal reasons, first time sellers have to wait 14 days before money is disbursed to their accounts.

When one of your items is sold, you will receive a confirmation email from Amazon giving the details of the order. How long you have to wait will depend on the popularity of your item. Popular items will sell in a matter of a few hours (assuming the price is set just right to the buyer). <img> View your ratings and feedback routinely. This feedback is a valuable tool after you've sold your item. The more ratings you have and the better they are, the more likely future customers will be to buy from you. Review ratings on the \"view your ratings and feedback\" page in your seller account. <img> Sell more items. Continue to create more listings for items you'd like to sell, and continue to provide your buyers with stellar customer service. <img> Issue a refund for an order, should the need arise.

"hJmiPRWo8sYw"
] | [
"Find the mayor's address. Look it up in your local phone book, or go to your city's website.\nYou might also research if there's a specific committee that deals with your concern. Think about writing a separate letter to that council as well. <img> Gather your writing materials. You'll need clean stationery and writing implements or a computer and printer. If using a computer, open a text-editing program. <img> Fill out the envelope. Include your return address. Write this in the top left corner of the envelope:\nYour name\nYour street address\nYour city and zip code <img> Include the mailing address of the mayor. Write this in the center of the envelope:\nMayor J. Doe\nCity of (your city)\nStreet address\nCity and zip code. <img> ",
"Include a salutation or greeting. Start by addressing the person you're writing to. In this case, you might write, Dear Mayor Doe,\nThis is the standard greeting for a mayor. For the rest of the letter, you'll want to keep a conversational and respectful tone. Don't worry about being too formal. <img> Introduce yourself in the first paragraph. Spend three to five sentences telling them who you are in relation to the issue you'll be bringing up.For example: As a citizen/employee/member... of (city/company/organization...)\nKeep the intro brief. Don't provide irrelevant details about yourself. Instead, connect yourself to your concern. <img> Describe the issue of your concern. You'll need to give specific details. Don't be afraid to use bullet points to provide facts. For example: It has come to my attention that...\nOnly address one issue in your letter. If you have multiple concerns to bring up, write a separate letter for each issue. <img> Tell them how you feel about the situation. Again, keep this brief, but be sure to connect yourself to the issue. For example: I am appalled by the decision to... <img> Offer suggestions and solutions. Avoid simply complaining about a problem. Show the mayor that you've done your research. You could give examples of similar situations in other cities and effective solutions. <img> Ask your mayor for help. Be honest with the mayor and don't feel as though you have to flatter them. Instead, be upfront about the changes you'd like to see. For example: As the Mayor of our great city, I ask that you consider other solutions.\nMake sure your letter is under a page, by this point. You'll want to keep it brief to ensure that it's completely read. Ideally, your letter should be between 3 and 5 paragraphs long. <img> Thank them. Be sure to thank the mayor in advance for addressing the concern. Since your letter should be brief, offer to provide more information if needed. For example: Thank you for attention to this important issue. <img> Sign the letter. Keep the closing address respectful and be sure to sign your name. Include your mailing address directly underneath your name so that the mayor is sure you live within their jurisdiction. For example: \"Sincerely, (your name)\" <img> ",
"Proofread your letter. Look for simple spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. It can help to have someone else proofread the letter too. <img> Make any proofreading corrections. Fix any mistakes from proofreading and then proofread again. You may catch something else as you read it another time. <img> Print your letter. To make your letter look as professional as possible, only use black ink and print in a legible font and size, such as Times New Roman 12 point. <img> Get or buy a stamp. Stick the stamp on the top right corner of the envelope. Be sure to use enough postage, or your letter will be returned to you. <img> Mail your letter. After mailing your letter, you should receive some response from the mayor or their office. If you don't hear anything back after a few weeks of mailing the letter, call the office to make sure it was received. <img> "

How to Set Up a Tank for Your Red Clawed Crab | [
"SVg0csYGSwwf",
"VUPnef2U0orh",
"4VqV5HsmbDck"
] | [
"Determine the size tank you’ll need. Most likely a tank between 5 and 20 gallons will be appropriate. The volume you choose will depend on the size and number of crabs. An overcrowded tank can lead to stress and disease in a crab. The recommendation is no more than one crab per square foot. <img> Add a lid. The tank will need a secure lid, as crabs like to climb and can do so on almost any surface, including tubing. The lid will prevent the crab from escaping the tank. <img> Choose the decor. Red-clawed crabs like to climb, hide, and dig, so you need to provide them with items to interact with, such as:\nSlopes\nDriftwood\nPlants\nRocks\nCaves\nPebbles\nSand <img> Include an aquarium filter, heater, air stones, and thermometer. These are tools you’ll need to keep your tank clean, warm, and oxygenated. Buy them along with the tank to make sure they are compatible. Some tanks might come with some of these tools attached. <img> Get a UVB light. Red-clawed crabs are nocturnal but require 10-12 hours of daylight during summer and 8-10 hours during the winter months. The UVB light makes sure they get the exposure they need to stay healthy. <img> ",
"Set the tank in a well-lit area. Positioning near a window or other light source will help the crabs get the light they need to stay healthy. <img> Create a mounded surface in the tank. Though red-clawed crabs are aquatic, they do breathe air. These means they’ll need high areas above the water line that they can reach by walking or climbing. You can create this with the decor items, or add a ramp for this specific purpose. <img> Add the remaining decor items. Put the pebbles/sand at the bottom of your tank. Layer on the the hideaways and plants. Remember, hiding spaces make the crab feel secure, so place them in accessible spots and make sure they’re large enough for your crab. <img> Fill the tank with room temperature brackish water. Though red-clawed crabs are freshwater creatures, they thrive in lightly salted water. Mix 1 teaspoon of sea salt per litre of 72-82°F water, and add it to the tank. Make sure to leave some areas above the waterline which the crab can reach to breathe. <img> ",
"Perform daily maintenance checks. To ensure that the tank is clean, warm, and oxygenated, you will need to conduct daily tests of:\nthe filter to make sure it is not clogged\nthe thermometer to make sure that the water temperature is 72-82°F\nthe tubing to make sure there is no damage <img> Test the water quality on a weekly basis. You will need to use a test kit to check the pH level of the water in the tank. For red-clawed crab, the pH level should be between 7.5 and 8.5. You can purchase test kits from a pet care store. <img> Change 10-25% of the water on a biweekly or monthly basis. By changing the water, you dilute the nitrates and ammonia in the water, as well as remove other toxins and pollutants that may build up in the tank. Scoop out the old tank water using a vessel like a large cup or small bucket, and add an equal volume of new tap water back into the tank. <img> Clean the filter. Your filter may be mechanical, chemical, or biological. It will need to be cleaned every 1-2 months, depending on the type of filter. The cleaning will likely involve rinsing of the sponge or pads and scrubbing of the casing and tubes. Specific instructions for cleaning your filter will be included in the owner’s manual. Follow these to guarantee the filter continues to function properly. <img> Check for holes in the tank lid. With their climbing abilities, red-clawed crabs are quite capable of escaping through holes in the lid. Repair them if possible, or replace the lid if necessary. <img> "

How to Carve Wood | [
"NVzkYOq5Oqn6",
"QdLktwCeqt6n",
"mbzrCWefJLpk"
] | [
"Start carving with softwoods like balsa, basswood, pine, or butternut. These are popular choices to begin wood carving because they are much easier to carve than hardwoods. Get basswood or balsa from a local craft shop, and buy pine or butternut at a lumber yard.\nBasswood and balsa are very soft, fine-grained woods that are the easiest for beginners to carve.\nPine and butternut are more coarse-grained woods, but are still easy enough for beginners to carve.\nWhen you choose wood to carve, avoid pieces with knots or growth rings. These will be difficult to carve around. <img> Get a wood carving knife and a ceramic sharpening stone. A purpose-built knife for wood carving with a fixed blade and a long handle is the most comfortable tool to carve wood with. Buy the knife and a ceramic sharpening stone at a woodworking store, craft shop, or order them online.\nA beginner’s wood carving knife costs as little as $15 USD, and you can get a sharpening stone for less than $10 USD. <img> Sharpen your knife when it stops making clean cuts. Push the blade of the knife across the sharpening stone at a 10-20 degree angle. Bend your elbow slightly to keep the angle steady. Keep your wrist locked while you move the knife across the stone. Switch the knife between hands to sharpen both sides of the blade.\nKeeping your knife sharp is an important part of wood carving safety. It is much more likely that you will cut yourself with a dull knife than with a sharp one. <img> Wear a wood carving glove on the hand that holds the wood. Use a leather hide work glove or purchase a glove designed for wood carving. You just need 1 glove for your non-dominant hand. The hand that holds the knife, your dominant hand, will be glove-free.\nYou can protect the thumb on your cutting hand with a leather thumb guard designed for wood carving. <img> ",
"Trace out your design with a pencil before you start to carve. Lightly outline your idea for the design on the piece of wood you want to carve. This will guide you during the process as your piece begins to change shape and help you visualize the final product.\nThe outline doesn’t need to be detailed. It just helps to keep you oriented while you carve away different pieces of the wood. <img> Hold your knife with your dominant hand and stabilize it with your other thumb. Hold your piece of wood in your non-dominant hand, and your knife in your dominant hand. Place the thumb of your non-dominant hand on the back, blunt side of the knife.\nFor example, if you are right handed, then hold your knife firmly in your right hand and your wood piece in your left hand. Place the sharp side of your knife where you want to make a cut and press your left thumb against the back side of the blade. <img> Use a scooping motion with the knife to carve away pieces of wood. Carve by rotating the wrist of your dominant hand to scoop away pieces of wood. Use the thumb you placed on the back of the knife as a brace to keep the knife from slipping. This method is called the push stroke and gives you the most control over your cuts.\nThe basic wood carving cut is called a straightaway cut. This is used most during the first stages of a carving to get the rough shape. Make several long, thin cuts away from your body to shrink the wood to the shape and size you want for your design.\nYou can also use your carving knife in the same way you would use a knife to peel an apple. This cut is called the pull stroke, or pare cut, and is used to create finer details in your piece. Just be very careful not to slice your thumb!\nThe less you angle your knife, the thinner the pieces of wood you carve away will be. Use sharper angles to cut away larger pieces as you shape your carving, and less of an angle to cut away thin pieces and add finer details to your design.\nKeep the proportions of your design in mind as you carve. You can try to carve a realistic looking piece, exaggerate the proportions, or a combination of both. You’re the artist! <img> Cut with the grain of the wood as much as you can. The darker streaks running through the wood are the grain. Cut parallel to these grains in the direction that provides the least resistance. This is called cutting with the grain.\nIf the wood seems like it is tearing or chipping when you cut, then you are probably cutting against the grain. Flip the wood around and cut the other way. If it seems easier, then this is the correct way to cut with the grain of your piece of wood.\nIt’s ok to make short cuts diagonally or across the grain if you need to do it to complete your design. Just avoid cutting upwards against the grain as this will cause it to tear and chip. <img> Work in stages to get the basic shape first then refine the shape. Make larger cuts to remove more wood and get the rough shape of your design first. Gradually make smaller and finer cuts as your piece takes shape until you achieve your envisioned design.\nOnce you are happy with the overall shape of your design, you can use the tip of the carving knife to add fine details. For example, if you are carving a person or animal, then you can use the tip of the knife to carve fine lines that look like hair. <img> Use a gouge to create hollow areas or curves on your wood. Secure your piece to a work surface with clamps or a vice. Hold a gouge with an overhand grip in your non-dominant hand, place the curved blade against the wood, then push on the bottom of the handle with your dominant hand to gouge out pieces of wood.\nGouges come in all different sizes and can be used to hollow out large, shallow areas, or to create small, fine details on your pieces. <img> Use an electric dremel tool instead of hand tools to experiment. Dremel tools are an electric rotary tool that are used to carve wood, among other things. Learn the basics of how to use a dremel tool and experiment with different dremel bits on wood to create designs.\nWear safety goggles when you use a dremel because woodchips can fly towards your face.\nMake sure to always secure your wood pieces with clamps or vices before you use a dremel tool to carve them. <img> ",
"Get a straight, flat piece of wood that you want to carve. You will need a piece of wood that is 0.5–0.75 in (1.3–1.9 cm) thick, 10–12 in (25–30 cm) long, and 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) wide to make a kitchen spoon. Make sure that there are no knots or deformities in the wood.\nYou can alter the measurements and experiment with different kinds of wood to create a wide variety of wooden spoons.\nIf it is your first spoon, it is best to go with an easy-to-work softwood like pine until you get the hang of it. Then you can move on to carving spoons out of more difficult hardwoods.\nSome good hardwoods to carve spoons from are soft maple, poplar, cherry, and black walnut. <img> Draw an outline for the spoon on a piece of paper. Fold a piece of paper in half in the center and draw half of the outline of the spoon design you want against the fold. Cut it out while the paper is still folded to get a completely symmetrical outline.\nThere are endless possibilities for spoons you can create. Serving spoons usually have wider, deeper bowls and shorter handles. Mixing spoons have more shallow bowls and longer handles. It’s completely up to you what style of spoon to carve, and there are no wrong designs! <img> Trace the outline onto your piece of wood with a pencil. Unfold the outline that you cut out and place it flat in the middle, and with the grain, on your piece of wood. Trace all the way around it lightly with a pencil and remove the template. Draw in the shape of the bowl that you will carve out.\nTry to line up the template with the grain of the wood as straight as possible so that it runs straight through the whole spoon. <img> Secure your piece of wood in a vice on a workbench. Place the flat sides of the piece of wood in the vice and tighten it to hold it in place. Make sure that it is level before you start carving.\nIf you don’t have a vice, you can also use clamps to clamp the piece of wood down flat to a work surface. <img> Use a gouge to scoop out the bowl of the spoon. Hold a sharp gouge with an overhand grip in your non-dominant hand and place the tip of the gouge in the center of the outline you drew. Push against the bottom of the handle of the gouge with your dominant hand and press the gouge into the wood with slicing and scooping motions.\nYou can start carving across the grain with the gouge to get the rough shape of the bowl. Use lighter cuts with the grain of the wood to deepen and smooth out the bowl.\nIt helps to use overlapping cuts until you reach the outline of the spoon’s bowl. For example, overlap the blade of the gouge right next to your first cut then scoop out the piece of wood right next to it for your next cut. <img> Use a carving knife to shape the outside of the bowl and the handle. Adjust the position of the wood in your vice to allow you to carve around your outline. Cut with the grain and use a scooping motion to carve away chunks of wood that are outside of your outline.\nCarve away bigger pieces at first to get the rough shape, followed by progressively smaller cuts to smooth it out and refine the shape.\nWork on the handle last since it is the most delicate part. You don’t want to put too much pressure on it and have it break while you are shaping the spoon.\nIf you are carving your first spoon, it is better to make it at least 1 in (2.5 cm) thick so that it doesn’t snap easily. It’s ok to end up with a chunky spoon for your first time!\nYou can leave the top and bottom of the handle, where your fingers would go while using it, flat. <img> Sand down bumps and ridges on the spoon until it is smooth. Start with a rough sandpaper like 60-grit, then move to a medium sandpaper like 150-grit, and finally use a 220-grit sandpaper to completely finish the spoon. Round and smooth all the edges until you are content with the finish.\nYou can rub food-grade oil, like tung oil or sesame oil, into your spoon with a lint-free cloth to complete the finish and preserve the wood. Let it cure for 2-3 days in a cool and dry spot before you put it to use. <img> "

How to Become a Vampire in Skyrim | [
"QL9l3LUmUYSm",
"SqWMiBPd0Hho",
"tb0KSypvAwh9"
] | [
"Contract the disease \"Sanguinare Vampiris\". This is the disease that will eventually lead to vampirism. You can contract the disease by getting attacked by vampire enemies. Physical vampiric weapons and the spell \"Vampiric Drain\" both have a 10% chance of transmitting the disease each time you are attacked.\nMorvarth’s Lair is one of the easiest place to contract Sanguinare Vampiris, as the opening area of the cave has several low-level vampires. You will be able to take several hits before dying, giving you a greater chance to get infected. Other locations include Bloodlet Throne, Haemar's Shame, Fellglow Keep, Red water Den (Dawnguard) and Broken Fang Cave. <img> Ensure that you are not immune. If you are infected with Lycanthropy (werewolf), you will be immune to Sanguinare Vampiris. Hircine's Ring will also make you immune. Argonians and Wood Elves are less likely to contract it as well thanks to their natural disease resistance. <img> Do not cure Sanguinare Vampiris. The disease will take 72 hours in game to transform into vampirism. After this period, the player will become a vampire.\nYou will see messages accompanied by red flashes as you come nearer to the 72 hour deadline.\nYou will need to touch sunlight at least once before the game will allow you to transform into a vampire.\nSanguinare Vampires can be cured by drinking a Cure Disease potion or by praying at a shrine. Avoid doing either of these for three days. <img> Use the console (PC only). You can quickly become a vampire without having to contract Sanguine Vampiris by using the console to cheat. Open the console by pressing ~.\nType player.setrace playerraceracevampire and press ↵ Enter. For example, if you are a Khajit, type player.setrace khajitracevampire. <img> ",
"Obtain Dawnguard. This is an expansion for Skyrim, and is required to access the Vampire Lord perks. Dawnguard is available for all systems that Skyrim is available for. Vampire Lords have significantly different weaknesses to frost and fire compared to standard Skyrim vampirism.\nVampire Lords can transform into fearsome winged beasts. You will be able to cast Blood Magic and can unlock a variety of powerful vampiric abilities. <img> Start the Dawnguard quest. After you install the Dawnguard expansion, guards and innkeepers will begin telling the players about the group of vampire hunters. This will begin the quest. You will need to travel to Fort Dawnguard, located in the southeastern corner of the map, to the east of Riften. <img> Start the \"Awakening\" quest. After speaking to the Dawnguard, you will receive this quest, sending you to Dimhollow Crypt. Once there, you will find the vampire Serana, who asks the player to escort her to her father at Castle Volkihar. <img> Escort Serana home. Take Serena to Castle Volkihar, located to the west of Solitude. Return Serana to Lord Harkon and he will offer to make the player into a Vampire Lord. This is your first chance to become a Vampire Lord, but you will have two more chances later on if you decline here.\nIn the quest Chasing Echoes, Serana offers to turn the player into a Vampire Lord. This is because living things cannot normally enter the Soul Cairn.\nAfter defeating Harkon completing Kindred Judgment, the final quest in the Dawnguard questline, the player can ask Serana to make her/him into a Vampire Lord. <img> Use the console (PC only). If you'd rather not go through the quests to become a Vampire Lord, you can enable it by cheating through the console. Open the console by pressing ~.\nIf you are not a regular vampire, turn into one by using the commands at the end of the previous section first.\nEnter the following command to give yourself the ability to turn into a Vampire Lord: player.addspell 300283b. Then, type player.addspell 301462a to gain access to the Vampire Lord spells. <img> ",
"Balance your positive and negative effects. Every 24 hours after becoming a vampire, you will progress to the next \"Stage\" of vampirism. There are four possible stages, with increasing bonuses and negative effects. Feeding will always return you to Stage One.\nEach stage will increase your resistance to Frost, but will increase your susceptibility to Fire.\nThe damage you take from sunlight increases each stage.\nEach stage grants you access to more vampiric spells and increases your vampiric strength.\nNPCs will become more hostile towards you as the stages increases, attacking you on sight at Stage Four. <img> Travel at night. Sunlight will hurt you, especially if you are in the later stages of vampirism. Night-time travel will also help keep you out of sight of most NPCs. Make good use of your vampiric abilities to hide yourself from sight. <img> Feed to quell your bloodthirst. If you want to avoid most of the negative effects of vampirism, you will need to feed regularly. If you are playing standard Skyrim, you can feed on sleeping people by approaching them and pressing the interaction button as if you were Pickpocketing. Another option will appear, allowing you to Feed.\nIf you're playing Dawnguard, you can feed on a conscious person if you cast the Vampire's Seduction spell first.\nFeeding will cause witnesses to become hostile, and will incur a 40 gold bounty if you're caught.\nFeeding on your spouse is one of the easier ways to manage your bloodthirst. <img> Cure your vampirism. If you've had enough of being a vampire, you can undertake a special quest to reverse the effects. First, ask any bartender for rumors and you will be told about Falion, who studies vampires. You can find Falion in Morthal.\nFalion will inform you that vampirism can be reversed with a filled Black Soul Gem. You can fill a Black Soul Gem by casting Soul Trap on a humanoid opponent before defeating it. Falion will sell you an empty Black Soul Gem if you need one.\nTurn filled Soul Gem over to Falion and he will remove your vampirism. This can be repeated as often as you'd like, as long as you have a filled Black Soul Gem. <img> Cure your vampirism with the console (PC only). If you can't get to the quest and you're desperate to revert your vampirism, you can use the console to cheat and remove it instantly. Open the console by pressing ~.\nType player.addspell 301462a and press ↵ Enter. Then type showracemenu and change your race. Vampirism will be cured immediately. <img> "

How to Win a Beauty Pageant | [
"HpXMMPPb8Y7B",
"kAJviwPRJjNj",
"3Gc26mLZ7QzB",
"cGZEIHr2FKLn"
] | [
"Choose a talent you feel confident performing. Certain talents are common in pageants—like dancing and playing instruments. It’s great if you’re a talented dancer or musician, but if you’re not, don’t try to force your talent. Choose a talent that you’d feel confident performing. For example, the talent could be something fairly unusual like ventriloquism or karate.\nThe talent shouldn’t be something you learn right before the competition. Choose something that you’ve been practicing for at least a year. <img> Practice your talent. Practice makes perfect is a common phrase, and that’s because it’s true. Don’t wait until the pageant is just days away to practice your talent. Develop your routine and then spend time working on it every day. You should be able to go through your routine effortlessly so that you can focus on the performance aspect of the talent.\nIf possible, get help from a coach to help you perfect your routine. <img> Pick a costume that displays the mood of your performance. If you’re doing a tap dance to upbeat music, you may want to choose a brightly colored costume. If you’re singing an emotional song, a long, black dress may be ideal. No matter what you’re performing, consider how you want the audience to perceive your performance when choosing a costume.\nMake sure your costume fits properly and doesn’t have any rips or tears before going onstage. <img> Perform with confidence. You may feel nervous before going onstage, but that’s completely normal. Take a few breaths and visualize the routine you’ve worked so hard on before going performing. Go on stage with a smile and keep your head up. Even if you make a mistake, continue on and do not stop until the routine is over. <img> ",
"Wear a dress or suit. A suit or dress will be appropriate for the interview stage of the pageant. Consider what you will be most comfortable wearing, and how you would like to be perceived. You don’t have to have an outfit made just for the interview. A department store outfit will be fine. Just make sure the outfit is professional and youthful.\nA good dress for an interview would be knee-length or slightly above, slightly conservative, and not too flashy in design. A solid color is ideal. <img> Prepare for what the judges will ask. The judges will almost certainly throw unexpected questions your way, but there are some questions that can be expected during the interview process. For example, you can watch past pageants to get an idea of how the interview will go. You can also ask former contestants what the interview process was like. Make sure to keep up with the news before the pageant to stay well-informed by keeping a notebook with everything you’ve learned.\nFor example, questions about world affairs, your goals, who you are, who you admire, and your best and worst qualities are common for pageant interviews.\nSome other subjects that may come up are friends, family, travel experiences, favorite music and movies, your biggest disappointments. <img> Be genuine. You might think there is a typical “pageant personality,” but pageant winners have all sorts of personalities and interests. Don’t try to be anything other than who you are. You should be professional and kind, but sincere. Have fun with the questions and think about them carefully before answering. <img> Tell the judge how you feel when responding to a difficult question. A question may be difficult because the answer could easily be controversial or simply because you don’t know the answer. When in doubt, go with your gut feeling. Don’t try to give an answer that sounds intellectual or “right.” Instead, tell them how you honestly feel. The judge may not personally agree, but you will be respected for having the courage to be honest.\nFor example, if you are asked about a war you don’t agree with, don’t tell them about your opinion of the war. Instead, tell them about how you feel or would feel about a loved one being away at war.\nDon’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” if you genuinely can’t think of an answer. <img> ",
"Wear enough stage makeup for the judges. You will be on stage, but the makeup should not be theatrical. When applying makeup, only wear enough so that the first row, which will typically be the judges, can see your face well. Avoid bright makeup, dark eyeliner, and frosted cosmetics. Look for matte makeup in shades that are slightly more colorful than natural shades you would wear as everyday makeup.\nIf the pageant will be on TV, you can go a shade brighter than usual for the lipstick and blush. <img> Choose subtle makeup for interviews. You want the judges to see your natural beauty. Your natural beauty may be hidden if you go to face-to-face interviews wearing makeup meant for the stage. Avoid wearing a lot of foundation and false eyelashes. Instead, choose natural shades for your eyes, lips, and cheeks. <img> Go for a soft up-swept style. A soft up-swept style is a classic for pageants that will likely not go out of style. An up-swept style could mean a French twist or bun. This style is especially great for those with very fine hair, coarse hair, or people who are aiming for a classy look.\nA soft up-swept style means you have your hair up, but it is not tight or slicked back. You still have some body in your hair, although it is pulled up. <img> Wear your hair full or sleek. Full, wavy, and long hair is a classic style for pageants—especially the evening gown portion of the pageant. This is a look that is flattering on most and will likely not go out of style. Lately, a sleek and straight style is becoming popular as well. <img> Choose a style that makes you feel confident ultimately. If a sleek or wavy style isn’t ideal for you, go for what makes you feel the most confident. Show off your natural, curly hair if that is what is most flattering for you. Or, put a little gel in your short hair and rock a pixie cut. Beauty pageants do have certain standards, but ultimately, you should feel comfortable showing off your individuality. <img> ",
"Pick a gown that accentuates your body. An ideal gown accentuates your best features and camouflages your flaws. Aspects of the gown such as fabric and design can help draw the eye to the features you feel most confident about. Try on gowns that are best for your specific body type.\nIf you have a short body type, wear vertical lines and solid colors. Avoid skirts, hip sashes, and contrasting solids.\nIf you have wide hips and thighs, wear flowing, tailored, or flared skirts. Avoid low waistlines and mermaid gowns.\nIf you’re thin, wear a fitted waist, a draped style, or a fishtail gown style. Avoid dark, strapless gowns.\nGo for a straight gown or V-shape waistlines if you have a thick waist. Avoid wearing belts or hip sashes. <img> Choose a dress that conveys your personality. The evening gown is an important part of the pageant. You should try your best to make the evening gown convey who you are to the best of your ability. Are you a loud and flamboyant or classy and conservative type? A red, sequin dress would show that you’re flamboyant. A black or white dress in a simple style would show that you’re classy.\nCheck to see if your pageant has rules about gowns before choosing a gown. <img> Wear undergarments that enhance the look of your gown. The wrong bra and underwear can ruin the look of your gown. Long-line bras and bust-to-hip bustiers are commonly worn under pageant gowns. These options may not be possible if your gown is made of a thin fabric. If that’s the case, sew brassiere cups into your gown. As far as underwear, panties are not recommended. Instead, try sheer-to-waist pantyhose. <img> "

How to Wash Knee Sleeves | [
"3z42ALch5Twh",
"6Frcldvs9LPN"
] | [
"Read all labels to ensure sleeves can be safely washed in the machine. The label should indicate water temperature, cycle setting, and drying instructions. Most knee sleeves will be washed in cold water on the gentle cycle.\nFor knee sleeves and other similar sports braces, consider always using the gentle cycle even if not specified on the label. The rubber and latex is easily damaged by extreme agitation. <img> Turn the knee pads inside out. The inside is where the most sweat and dirt has accumulated and you want the water and detergent to have as much access to that side as possible. Washing inside out will also help the sleeves maintain their color. <img> Wash sleeves in cold water with regular detergent on the gentle cycle. Cold water is less damaging to the latex in the sleeves and keeps the fabric from fading. Some people think hot water is better at killing off bacteria, but in the case of your knee sleeves, hot water could cause the material to shrink. By using laundry detergent you are taking the right steps to kill off bacteria and any potential mold or mildew.\nYou can wash your knee sleeves with other items, though you may want to try to keep them away from your delicates as the rough material of the sleeves could damage more sensitive fabrics.\nIf your sleeves are particularly stinky, add ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of baking soda to the wash to freshen the material even more. <img> Squeeze excess water out of the knee sleeves. After the washing cycle ends, remove the sleeves and gently squeeze until the garments are no longer dripping with excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting the sleeves to prevent damaging the material.\nYou could also lay the sleeves flat on a dry towel and roll the towel and sleeves together, pressing down on them, to remove more water. <img> Lay the sleeves on a flat surface and let them air dry. Place them somewhere shaded and avoid direct sunlight, as the material can shrink when exposed to hot temperatures. Knee sleeves can take a while to dry—up to 12 hours! So plan ahead when washing to make sure they’ll have enough time to dry before you need them again.\nAvoid hanging the sleeves to dry. They can get stretched out of shape this way or lose their elasticity. <img> ",
"Read the manufacturer’s instructions. These could either be on a tag on the sleeves themselves, or they may have come in the box when you purchased them. There will be instructions and tips on how to best clean the sleeves to protect the fabric and structure.\nEven if the tag doesn’t say anything about washing by hand, all knee sleeves and other similar pieces of athletic equipment can be washed by hand. <img> Fill a bowl with warm water and mix in laundry detergent. Don’t use hot water, as this can damage or shrink the synthetic materials. Use a spoon or whisk to stir until the detergent has fully dissolved into the warm water. Leaving undissolved detergent in the water could end up as residue on your sleeves, which would damage the fabric quality and potentially irritate your skin.\nYou can also substitute 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of dish soap for laundry detergent. <img> Soak the knee sleeves in the cleaning solution. Use your fingers to work the water through the sleeves rather than using a scrub brush. A brush can easily damage fabrics, so use your hands to squeeze and soak the sleeves repeatedly to ensure they’re getting cleaned all the way through.\nWear plastic gloves to protect your hands if you are sensitive to cleaning products.\nPay special attention to the crease where your knee bends to fully remove dirt and bacteria. <img> Rinse the knee sleeves in a colander. If your faucet in your sink or bathroom has a sprayer, use this to gently rinse out the rest of the soap until the water runs clear. If you don’t have a sprayer, submerge the sleeves in a clean bowl of cold water and squeeze them until the water runs through clear.\nRinse the sleeves completely—don’t skimp on this step! Residue from the detergent can easily irritate your skin or even cause an allergic reaction. <img> Squeeze the sleeves gently to remove excess water. Don’t twist or wring out the material, as this can damage the fibers of the fabric and stretch it out. You can even use a dry towel and fold the sleeves up in it to absorb excess water. It can take sleeves a long time to dry, so getting as much water out of them after washing will help speed up that drying time.\nDon’t put sleeves into the dryer or into the sun—heat can shrink and damage the latex. <img> Lay out the sleeves flat to let them air dry. Avoid hanging the sleeves as the weight can stretch and damage the fabric. Keep them out of direct sunlight as they can shrink in hot temperatures. Let the sleeves dry for 12 or so hours and then check them to make sure they’ve dried completely before using them again.\nInvest in an extra pair of knee sleeves so you don’t get caught without any when yours are drying. <img> "

"It's highly likely that you use Ruby on Rails-based web apps every day. Ruby on Rails is a popular open-source web development framework built on Ruby that powers hundreds of thousands of web applications. Some notable examples are Ruby on Rails, including Hulu, Twitch, Goodreads, Fiverr, Github, Bandcamp, Airbnb, and Square. These are not small names, and many developers continue to code new and useful web applications in Ruby.\nYou'll even find social media apps written in Ruby on Rails, including Mastodon, Diaspora, and Socify.\nCrowdfunding platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo are hugely popular Ruby on Rails-based websites. <img> ",
"Online commerce and Ruby go hand in hand. The Ruby on Rails framework can handle accounting, customer relationship management (CRM), marketing tools, inventory tracking, payment processing, order processing, and shipping, which makes it perfect for online stores. Many popular e-commerce sites run on Ruby on Rails, including Shopify, Solidus, and Spree. <img> ",
"Ruby makes it easy to automate tasks on computers and networks. A popular example of Ruby's automation prowess is Chef, a DevOps application that streamlines application installs and configuration. In addition to powering enterprise apps, you can also write quick Ruby scripts yourself to perform backups, sort through photos, download podcasts, prepare reports, and other tasks that are too cumbersome to do manually. <img> ",
"Ruby can be used for back-end mobile app development. One of the most popular Ruby implementations used to create Android, iPhone, and iPad apps is RubyMotion, which supports developing Ruby apps for iOS, Android, and even macOS. Ruby isn't extremely common for mobile app development, as Java, Swift, and Kotlin take the lead. However, learning Ruby can absolutely have you developing mobile apps in no time and submitting them to the App Store and Play Store. <img> ",
"Ruby can extract data from websites and parse the information. Web scraping has multiple uses, including market research, competitor analysis, brand monitoring, and lead generation. Ruby programmers can create web scraping apps in Ruby to scrape content from the web and turn it into useful information that can be analyzed in any format. <img> ",
"Ruby is a simple way to write programs you run from the terminal or command prompt. If you're a macOS user, you've probably used Homebrew to install software—Homebrew is built on Ruby, as is Metasploit—a popular security framework used for penetration testing. <img> ",
"You can use Ruby to connect to and query databases. There are Ruby gems (libraries/modules) you can install that allow Ruby to connect to SQL, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, and just about any other database out there. <img> ",
"Data scientists can use Ruby to parse, analyze, and store data. While not as popular for data science as Python, Ruby can be useful for cleaning, transforming, and validating data. Using a combination of the Ruby on Rails framework and Python gives data scientists simple, stable, and efficient solutions for performing machine learning computations. <img> ",
"You can write cross-platform 2D games in Ruby. Imagine writing an entire game in just a few lines of code—this is possible with Ruby! You can use Ruby gems like Gosu or Ruby2D create basic games that will run on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Check out https://www.ruby2d.com/showcase/ for examples of simple games designed with the Ruby2d gem. <img> "

Contacts and Water: Why They Don’t Mix & How to Store Your Lenses Safely | [

"No, don't expose or store contact lenses in water. Tap water, pool water, and lake or ocean water contain microorganisms that can potentially lead to serious eye infection. One of the most common is Acanthamoeba, which can infect your cornea (the clear outer layer of your eye where your contacts sit).\nWater can make your contacts swell or warp, causing them to stick to your eyes and scratch your cornea. This makes it easier for bacteria to enter your eye. <img> ",
"Remove your lenses before swimming and store them in solution. Always try to take out your daily, monthly, or biweekly lenses before swimming in pools, hot tubs, lakes, or oceans, as well as using the shower, bathtub, or a sauna. If storing them isn’t an option, swim with goggles on and soak your monthly or biweekly lenses in contact solution for 24 hours to disinfect them (throw away daily lenses).\nAlternate between 2 pairs of lenses or between lenses and glasses so you can see while the water-exposed pair disinfects.\nIf you don’t have goggles, do your best to avoid getting splashed in the face and eyes while you’re in the pool or tub.\nAny amount of water in your eyes can transfer bacteria to your contact lenses, even if it’s just a quick shower or splash to the face. <img> Use prescription goggles or consider LASIK eye surgery. If you're a frequent swimmer, the best alternative to wearing lenses is prescription goggles. Shop from performance brands rather than leisure brands—it’s easier to find a pair with a good fit against your face. If you can't find a pair with your exact prescription, choose the closest option, which will still let you see clearly below and around you while swimming.\nConsider LASIK if contacts or glasses are a nuisance. Consult a reputable center that checks your general eye health in addition to LASIK eligibility.\nAlternatively, switch to daily contact lenses and continue wearing goggles. Throw away the potentially infected lenses after your swimming session. <img> ",
"Throw away your contact lenses and put in a new pair. Toss your current pair if you realize you’re out of solution and can’t buy any right away—this is the most effective way to guarantee you won’t accidentally infect your lenses by using other substances. Ignore rumors that distilled water or saliva work in a pinch, since they can still contain microorganisms (especially your spit!).\nRemember, it’s way less inconvenient to throw out a good pair of lenses and buy more solution than it is to deal with an eye infection. <img> Try store-bought saline, even if it’s not meant for contact lenses. Use a sterile saline wound wash or nasal spray (0.9%) if absolutely necessary, but try not to do this for more than 1 day or night. It’s safer than water because it’s sterile and will keep your lenses from drying out. However, it won’t clean them or remove mineral deposits like an enzymatic contact lens solution.\nSaline for contacts is not the same as contact solution. Contact solution cleans and disinfects while saline is just pH-balanced saltwater used for rinsing.\nNon-contact lens saline is not as gentle on your eyes and may cause discomfort. Use this as a last resort if you cannot throw out your lenses.\nAvoid using homemade saline solution to store or rinse your contact lenses. The risk of infection is too great. <img> ",
"Wash your hands with hot water and antibacterial soap. As a rule, always aim to wash your hands thoroughly before handling your contact lenses. Dry your hands well with a clean, lint-free cloth to keep water droplets and towel fibers off your fingertips.\nDirty hands are an easy way to transfer bacteria to your eyes, even if they’re not wet with tap water. <img> Rub the inside of your contact case with contact solution to clean it. If there’s old solution sitting in the case, dump it out. Squirt a few drops of fresh solution into each well and use your finger to rinse out the case. Dry out the wells with a clean tissue.\nAfter the case is clean, fill each well with solution.\nAlways use fresh solution instead of “topping off” old solution to avoid bacteria buildup in your case.\nWhenever you get a new bottle of solution, throw away your old case and get a new one (most bottles of solution come with an included case). <img> Apply eye drops to each eye if your contacts feel dry or stuck. Tilt your head back and hold your eyelids open with your non-dominant hand. With your other hand, squeeze 1-2 drops into your eye. Blink a few times to circulate the eye drops and blot any liquid that runs down your face with a tissue.\nRepeat in your other eye.\nUse saline or moistening eye drops. Both will lubricate your contact lens and make it easier to remove. <img> Hold your eyelid open and remove one contact lens at a time. Use the middle finger on your non-dominant hand to pull your upper eyelid up and your middle finger on your dominant hand to hold your lower eyelid down. Then, use your dominant pointer finger and thumb to gently pinch and grab the contact and pull it away from your eye.\nLook straight ahead into a mirror or look slightly upward—whichever feels easier.\nTry to grab the lower half or lower third of the lens. The lens will bend and pull away from your eye a bit easier than if you grab at the exact middle.\nStart with the same eye each time you remove your lenses to avoid mixing them up (it doesn’t matter which you do first as long as you’re consistent). <img> Rub the lens between your pointer finger and thumb to clean it. Wet your fingers with contact solution and gently rub the lens for a few seconds, making sure to clean both sides. This gets rid of mineral deposits and any loose fibers, dust, or dirt that might be on the lens.\nAlternatively, squirt some solution into the palm of your hand and rub both sides of the lens in it with your pointer finger.\nSoaking your contacts overnight without rubbing them first is not as effective for disinfecting and can shorten the life of your lenses. <img> Put the lens in your contact case. Make sure to put the left lens in the left well or the right lens in the right well. Most case wells are marked “L” and “R” to help you keep track of your lenses. Securely twist or snap the well lid shut.\nDo not store your lenses in anything besides a designated contact lens case with contact solution. <img> Remove, rub, and store your other contact lens. Once your first lens is securely stored, take your other lens out. Rub it between your fingers or in your palm with solution to remove mineral deposits, then place it in the left or right well of your case, depending on which eye you did first.\nMost solution brands recommend soaking your lenses for at least 4-8 hours before putting them back in. Check the instructions on your bottle for specifics. <img> "

"Use the \"sneak\" mode to avoid walking off the edge. Hold down the shift key as you move around to engage the \"sneak\" mode. <img> Gather saplings from the first tree. No saplings = no more trees, so if you do not collect at least one sapling from your first tree, you will need to start over. Break the leaves of the first tree to break gather saplings. <img> Gather wood from the first tree. After you gather a few saplings from the leaves, break the wood of the tree using your hand. <img> Plant a sapling on a block of dirt furthest from your spawn corner. This will keep the tree away from your lava and prevent the loss of a tree (and apples and saplings) to fire later.\nYou can improve your chances of catching saplings by using a few dirt blocks from your top layer to expand the platform out and around the bottom of the tree. <img> Harvest wood and saplings each time the tree matures. When the saplings mature, gather saplings from the leaves, and then wood. Replant the saplings you collect. <img> Craft a crafting table. When you have enough wood, craft a workbench. \nBe careful to reserve two wood blocks (don't turn them into planks) to create your first charcoal later. <img> Craft a wooden pickaxe. Use some of your wood to craft wood plank blocks and sticks by hand. Then use the crafting table to craft a wooden pickaxe. <img> Create a 2X2 water pool. You can craft a pool from the two ice blocks in your supply chest. You should have enough dirt to create a 2x2 pool, but you can use plank blocks on the side which will be furthest from your lava if necessary. This will create a never-ending water supply since any bucket pulled from this pool is replenished automatically. <img> Create a cobblestone generator. One of the simplest methods is to dig a hole 4 blocks long and the second block 2 blocks deep. Now put a bucket of water on the end with the 2 deep hole and lava on the other end.\nTo make a basic cobble generator do it in this form (D=Dirt, W=Water, S=air space, L=Lava):\nD-W-S-S-L-D\nD-S-D-D-S-D\n\nAn alternate, more compact generator can be made as follows: (D=Dirt block, A= Air block, C=Cobblestone block, W= Water and L=Lava)\nA-A-W-C-L-D\nD-W-W-D-A-D\nD-D-D-D-D-D <img> \"Mine\" the cobblestone from your generator. You can generate cobblestone by mixing flowing water with lava.\nYou can combine your water source and your cobblestone generator if you wish. <img> Craft a furnace. Use the crafting table to craft a furnace from eight cobblestone blocks and burn one block of wood using the second reserved block of wood as fuel to get your first charcoal. Craft torches. <img> Craft a fishing rod. Use sticks and some of the string from the supply chest to craft a fishing rod. With the fishing rod and your furnace, you can keep yourself fed while waiting for your garden to produce. <img> Continue to generate and harvest cobblestone. Once you have a supply of cobblestone, extend your platform to the bottom of the island and collect the dirt, taking care not to mess up the cobble generator.\nIf you craft cobblestone slabs, you can double the surface area you can create with the same amount of raw material. This slab method also has the advantages of preventing mobs from spawning in dimly lit areas.\nTo avoid losing dirt blocks, create a platform or \"tray\" underneath your SkyBlock to catch anything that falls off the top.\nYou can do this by opening a one-block hole in your cobblestone and placing a bucket of water into it, creating a waterfall that you can swim down through.\nDrop down and place 4 blocks of cobblestone in a column/tower going down. Swim back up for air, then drop back down through the water to place a single block perpendicular to your column at the bottom of your column directly under your original hole... and swim back up.\nHop out of the water, pick up the water with the bucket.\nPlace a ladder and drop back down to the bottom perpendicular block you placed and build/expand a lower level or \"tray\" 4 blocks below your original SkyBlock.\n\"Tray\" expanding below the main level. This can be left dark as a mob spawner or lit to prevent mobs at the players discretion. <img> Consider creating a mob spawner. You can do this by building a platform with no lighting. This will give you access to mob drops such as string, bones (bone meal for gardening), specialized tools, etc.\nSince you have no iron, you won't be able to use hoppers. Instead, just run along the sides and pick up the drops manually. <img> Consider creating a \"pasture\". This should be 24 blocks away from your main work area in order to spawn animals for food and other resources. <img> Play your own way. The rest is up to you. You can expand your house, create a more efficient mob grinder, make a large mob farm, the possibilities are endless. Skyblock ends when either you have completed all the challenges, or are unable to go any further without cheating. <img> "

How to Get Guardianship of a Younger Sibling | [

"Verify your eligibility. Each state has its own rules regarding who can be the guardian of a minor. In most states these rules include a hierarchy of people who are legally preferred as guardians, with the child's biological or adopted parents being first.\nIf siblings are further down the preferred list, this means you typically must prove that everyone listed higher up on the list is either unavailable or incapable of serving as guardian.\nHowever, you also may be able to get guardianship of a younger sibling if you have permission from any other adults who are legally preferred as the child's guardian.\nFor example, suppose your parents are planning to spend two years in France, leaving your 16-year-old sibling behind to finish high school. Your parents may consent to you being your sibling's guardian while they're gone.\nOther eligibility requirements include that you must be at least 18 years old, and you must have the financial ability to support your younger sibling.\nIf your younger sibling has an inheritance, for example because your parents have recently passed away, you also may have to prove you have the ability to properly manage those funds on their behalf. <img> Locate guardianship forms. Most states have fill-in-the-blank forms you can use to petition the court for guardianship of a younger sibling. If your guardianship is uncontested by anyone else in your family, you should be able to complete the entire process yourself without having to hire an attorney.\nDigital copies of these forms may be available on the court's website. Search for the family or probate court in your county (or the county where your younger sibling lives, if it differs) to see if forms are available online.\nYou also can access forms by contacting the court clerk. They may provide you with the web address of the website, or you may have to make a trip to the clerk's office to pick up paper copies. <img> Consider consulting an attorney. In more complex cases, particularly if you anticipate that another family member will contest your petition for guardianship, you may want an experienced family law attorney on your side.\nIf you don't know any good attorneys who could help you, start your search on the website of your state or local bar association. There you can find a searchable directory of licensed attorneys in good standing who practice in your area.\nBeing listed in the bar association's directory doesn't mean you shouldn't do your own research on an attorney's background and experience, however.\nFamily law attorneys typically provide a free initial consultation, so you should use this to your advantage to interview several attorneys so you can compare and contrast them and find the attorney who's right for you.\nSeeking guardianship of a sibling is a fairly specialized case, so ask attorneys not only how many guardianship cases they've handled, but how many involved siblings. While you may not be able to find someone who specifically handles sibling guardianship cases, anyone who does could potentially help you in a more specific way. <img> Complete your forms. Assuming you're moving ahead on your case without attorney representation, read the forms and instructions you found carefully. Enter the required information, making sure your answers are complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge.\nKeep in mind that typically your forms must be completed in black ink on plain white paper. If you're filling out the forms by hand, print your answers legibly.\nYou must provide information on the petition about yourself and your younger sibling, such as home address, age, and date of birth.\nIn addition to the petition itself, you typically must complete portions of the notice of hearing form, a proposed order, and other forms. The clerk should have a packet of all required forms, or you can download them from the court's website.\nRead the instructions for the forms carefully and make sure you have all the forms required.\nIf your parents have passed away and you also want to take guardianship of your younger sibling's inheritance, there typically will be additional forms that you have to complete detailing information about those assets. <img> Take your forms to the appropriate clerk's office. You must file your petition for guardianship in the court located in the county where your younger sibling lives. Typically the family court hears guardianship cases, but in some cases you'll need to file in probate court.\nBefore you go to the clerk's office, make several copies of all of the documents you need to file. You'll need one copy for your records, and one for each of the people you need to serve.\nFor example, the California courts recommend making at least three copies, because the clerk will keep the originals and one copy for the court's records.\nWhen you file your forms, you'll have to pay a filing fee, typically of around a hundred dollars – although in some courts it may be more. You may want to call the clerk's office before you go and find out how much the filing fee is and what forms of payment are accepted.\nIf you believe you can't afford the filing fee, tell the clerk you want to apply for a fee waiver. The clerk will give you a form, which you must complete with information about your income and assets.\nIf your income and assets fall below a threshold level established by the court system, or if you are currently receiving public benefits, the court may waive any fees associated with your case.\nThe clerk will set the date for your hearing and give your copies back to you. It is your responsibility to deliver copies to all parties required to receive notice of the hearing. <img> Have all interested parties served. Any other family members who potentially could become the guardian of your younger sibling must have adequate legal notice of the proceeding. You do this through the process of having them served with a copy of your petition and notice of hearing.\nPeople who must be served include your sibling's biological or adoptive parents, if living, as well as any other close family members who could potentially serve as guardians, such as grandparents.\nIf your younger sibling is over the age of 14, they also must be served unless they have registered their consent to your petition or filed an affidavit of support.\nDepending on the context of your case, others may need to be served as well.\nTechnically, anyone over the age of 18 who isn't involved in the case in any way can serve the papers for you by hand-delivering them to the required parties. However, you can't serve the forms yourself.\nYou also can hire a sheriff's deputy or private process serving company to hand-deliver the papers for you, or use certified mail with returned receipt requested.\nWhen service is completed, the person who served the papers must complete the top of the proof of service form so you can file it with the court. The clerk will have copies of this form for you. <img> ",
"Organize your court forms. You'll need to have your copies of everything you filed with the court with you when you go to your hearing. Prepare a file and organize all the documents in chronological order so you can find them easily.\nMake sure you have copies of your proof of service forms as well as your petition and other notices you completed or filed.\nIn addition to your court documents, you also should gather any documents you have, such as account statements or pay stubs, that support any statements you made in your petition or other forms.\nYou also may need copies of anything anyone else filed in your guardianship case. You may have additional documents if, for example, your younger sibling filed an affidavit consenting to your guardianship.\nIf anyone filed any opposition to your petition, you'll need copies of that document, which should have been served on you. <img> Talk to potential witnesses. The court may allow you to call witnesses at the hearing to testify on your behalf. Typically, those you call will be people who can testify to your character and your ability to care and provide for your younger sibling.\nWitnesses may include family friends, neighbors, or even your younger sibling's teacher or coach.\nCommunity or church leaders also can make good witnesses, particularly if they are familiar with both you and your younger sibling and your relationship.\nIf you plan to call someone as a witness, meet with them at least once – if not several times – to go over questions you intend to ask them at the hearing. You should never ask a witness a question to which you don't know the answer. <img> Review the duties of guardianship. At your hearing, you must be able to prove that you understand what your duties will be if the court appoints you guardian of your younger sibling, and that you're prepared and able to take on those duties.\nIn many courts, you will be given a document that lists the duties of a guardian, which you must read and sign to demonstrate your understanding.\nUse that list of duties as an outline for what you'll have to prove in court. The judge will only appoint you as a guardian if he or she believes that you can fulfill those duties and that the appointment would be in the best interests of your younger sibling.\nIt can help to make an outline of what you want to say in court or the points that you want to make about being a guardian for your younger sibling. <img> Collect financial documents and background information. Because you will have to prove to the court that you are qualified to be a guardian as well as capable of caring for your younger sibling, you will need to present evidence of your financial responsibility and work history.\nIf you've made an outline, use it as a checklist to round up the documents you'll need. Basically, you want something that will support any point you've made in your outline.\nGenerally speaking, you need to be able to show the judge that you are financially responsible and capable of caring for your younger sibling.\nIt isn't necessary for you to be well off, but you'll stand a better chance of being appointed guardian if you have a steady job that you've held for awhile and are able to pay your bills.\nThe younger you are, the more difficult it may be for you to get guardianship of a younger sibling – especially if there is an older family member contesting your petition.\nIn that situation, present evidence of your education and background that demonstrates that you are a responsible, reliable person who your younger sibling respects. <img> ",
"Appear on your hearing date. You can't get guardianship of your younger sibling without showing up in court on the date of the hearing. If you are unable to attend on the scheduled date, you need to notify the court as soon as possible to have it rescheduled.\nThis is true even if no one is opposing your petition, unless the court tells you otherwise.\nTry to arrive at the courthouse at least 30 minutes early, but give yourself more time if you live in a particularly populated area and you expect the courthouse to be crowded.\nYou need to give yourself time to go through security and find the right courtroom. You may want to go to the court's website ahead of time and look for a list of prohibited items so you can make sure you're not bringing anything with you that isn't allowed in the courtroom, such as a cell phone or other electronic devices.\nThe judge may be hearing other cases on the same day as yours, so take a seat in the gallery until the judge calls your name. Then you can proceed to one of the tables at the front of the courtroom. <img> Tell your story to the judge. When the judge calls your name, you typically will have the opportunity to speak first since you're the one who filed the petition. The judge may ask you questions, or have you make a brief opening statement.\nIn many courts, the judge will simply ask questions if you don't have an attorney, rather than requiring you to organize your presentation yourself.\nWhen you speak, whether to answer the judge's questions or make a statement on your own, you should address the judge. Other than your witnesses, you have no need to speak to anyone else in the courtroom.\nIf the judge says something to you or asks a question that you don't understand, ask for clarification.\nIf you don't know the answer to a question, it's okay to respond \"I don't know,\" and that response is better than trying to make something up. <img> Call any witnesses. If you've brought any witnesses to testify on your behalf, you can call them to the stand and ask them questions that will allow them to provide the information they know to the court. Anyone who opposes your petition also will have the opportunity to question your witnesses.\nAsk your witness direct questions, and remember that you can't ask them to testify to something that doesn't come directly from their own knowledge or experience.\nIn other words, you can't ask a witness to tell the court what someone else said to them. You would have to call that person as a witness to ask them what they said.\nAfter you've finished questioning your witness – what is referred to as \"direct examination\" – any opposing parties will have the opportunity to ask them questions as well, through cross-examination.\nYou may have the opportunity to ask your witness follow-up, or \"redirect\" questions after cross-examination, particularly if the other party has asked the witness something that you didn't cover in your direct examination.\nThe judge may have questions for your witness as well. If the judge asks your witness a question, let the witness answer – don't interrupt or try to answer it for them. <img> Listing to any opposing parties. Anyone who opposes your petition will have the opportunity to speak after you've finished telling the judge why you should be granted guardianship of your younger sibling.\nTake notes if an opposing party says anything to which you want to respond, but don't shout out or interrupt them during their presentation.\nIf an opposing party calls any witnesses, you have the opportunity to cross-examine them just as they were able to cross-examine yours.\nPay attention to what the opposing party asks, and look for holes or problems with the witness's story that you can exploit during cross examination.\nKeep in mind that the ultimate standard is the best interests of the child. Even if the opposing party presents evidence that they would be a better guardian than you would, the judge will still grant you guardianship if you can prove that it would be in the best interests of your younger sibling to do so.\nFor example, perhaps your aunt opposes your guardianship. She and your uncle are well off, while you are just starting out in your career. However, if your aunt were granted guardianship, your younger sibling would have to move to the other side of the country, leaving behind the only school and friends they've known in their life.\nIn that example, the judge might decide it's in your sibling's best interests for you to get guardianship – provided you can show the strong ties your sibling has to their school, their friends, and their community, and how disastrous it would be to uproot them. <img> Receive the judge's decision. Once everyone has finished, the judge will decide whether to grant you guardianship of your younger sibling based on all the evidence presented. In some cases, the judge may grant you temporary, rather than permanent, guardianship.\nIf the judge decides not to grant you guardianship, you may be able to appeal that decision – but you have a limited period of time to do so.\nBecause appeals can be complicated, you definitely want to consult an attorney if you don't already have one.\nOn the other hand, if the judge granted you guardianship, get copies of the order so you can distribute them to people and entities, such as your sibling's school, that will need to know that you now have legal responsibility for your sibling.\nThe court should have a checklist of things you must do after you are awarded guardianship of your younger sibling. You also typically are expected to file periodic status reports with the court regarding the general wellbeing of your sibling. <img> "

How to Wire a Garbage Disposal to a Switch | [
"Ljxx88n2nwsK",
"K4tbUqSXavKC",
"ht5XB4oY3HdL"
] | [
"Turn off the circuit in the area where you’re working. Look for the circuit box in your home, which is usually found in a basement, kitchen, or hallway. Even though you’ll use a new circuit for the garbage disposal, locate the breaker switch that controls the other outlets in your kitchen. Flip the breaker to the Off position so you don’t risk getting shocked if you accidentally cut into a wire.\nNever cut into your walls or start working while there’s still power to the circuit, or else you could get electrocuted.\nIf you aren’t sure what breakers control which room, contact an electrician to help you label them. <img> Check for studs in the walls above and below your sink using a stud finder. Hold the finder flat against the wall and turn it on. Slowly move the stud finder horizontally until it beeps, which means there’s a stud behind the drywall. Mark its location with a pencil using the line at the top of the finder as a guide. Then put the stud finder against the wall underneath your sink and mark the location of the stud you find.\nTypically, you would place outlets for garbage disposals underneath the sink or in a cabinet. <img> Buy electrical boxes for your switch and disposal outlet. Look for standard electrical boxes that are about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) deep for both the switch and the disposal so you have room for all of the wiring. Choose plastic electrical boxes that have winged hinges on the top and bottom since they’re easier to install and don’t require a stud as an anchor.\nYou can get electrical boxes from your local hardware store.\nThe electrical boxes will hold the wires so they don’t get tangled or caught inside your walls.\nIf you have an outlet for a dishwasher underneath your sink, you can also use it for your garbage disposal and don’t need to buy a new box. <img> Trace the switch’s electrical box on the wall above your sink. Hold the front of the switch’s box against the wall over your countertop. Try to position the box directly above the sink so it’s easier to run the wires down to the outlet below it. Make sure that the top of the box is level before tracing around it with a pencil.\nIf you can’t position the switch box right above the sink, try to keep it between the studs on either side of the sink since you’ll still be able to run wires down easily. <img> Position the outlet’s electrical box under your sink and trace its outline. Access the wall underneath your sink basin and find a spot that lines up vertically with the switch box. Hold the front of the outlet’s electrical box against the wall and ensure the top stays level. Use a pencil to draw an outline around the box so you know where to cut through the wall.\nKeep the outlet and the switch between the same studs so you can run wires straight down. Otherwise, you may have to drill holes horizontally through the studs when you start wiring. <img> Cut around the outlines for the boxes with a drywall saw. Hold the tip of the saw against the corner of your outline and slowly push it through your drywall. Use a back and forth sawing motion to cut a straight line until you reach the corner on the opposite side. Pull the saw out from the drywall and push the blade through the next line. Remove the cut-out section of drywall when you’re finished, and repeat the process on the hole for the outlet.\nIf you’re unable to cut through your wall with a drywall saw, you may need to contact a professional or use a reciprocating saw. <img> Have an electrician run a 12/2 wire from the circuit box to the switch hole. Contact an electrician and let them know you’re installing a new switch and outlet for a garbage disposal. Allow them to install a dedicated circuit in your home’s main electrical box and let them run wires to the hole you made for the switch. The electrician will leave enough excess wiring for you to add you to connect the switch.\nA 12/2 cord contains 1 black hot wire, 1 white neutral wire, and 1 green or bare ground wire.\nIf you have a dishwasher, the electrician may connect the garbage disposal wiring to the same circuit.Warning: Avoid trying to run wires to the circuit box on your own since there are specific electrical codes to follow and you could cause damage to your home. <img> Fish a 12/3 cord between the holes for the switch and outlet. Attach the end of a 12/3 cord to the hooked end of a wire fish tape. Slide the fish tape into the switch hole above your counter and push it down. When you see the fish tape from the outlet hole under your sink, pull about 1 foot (30 cm) out from the wall. Cut the 12/3 wire with a pair of wire cutters so there’s 1 foot (30 cm) of excess hanging out of the switch hole.\nYou can buy 12/3 cord and wire fish tape from your local hardware store.\nA 12/3 cord has 1 black hot wire, 1 red hot wire, 1 white neutral wire, and 1 green or bare ground wire. <img> Feed the cords into the backs of the electrical boxes. Grab the end of the 12/2 cord and push it through one of the holes on the top of the switch box. Feed it from the back corner so the cord ends inside of the box. Then take the 12/3 cord and put it into one of the bottom corners of the switch box. Push the other end of the 12/3 cord into the top of the outlet box so it doesn’t move around or come loose.\nIf you don’t see any holes on the back of the electrical boxes, you may need to punch them out with a screwdriver. <img> Screw the electrical boxes into the matching holes you cut. Push the switch’s electrical box into the hole so the front is flush with the wall. Pull the ends of the cord into the electrical box so they don’t get pinched behind the wall. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws in the corners of the electrical box so it stays in the drywall without falling out. Then attach the outlet’s electrical box the same way underneath your sink.\nAs you tighten the screws, the winged hinges on your electrical boxes will clamp to the drywall so the box doesn’t fall out. <img> ",
"Cut a 4 in (10 cm) piece of black 12-gauge wire to form a jumper. Use any 12-gauge electrical wire that has black insulation so you know there’s power running through it. Use a pair of wire cutters to cut off a section that’s at least 4 inches (10 cm) long. Set your jumper wire aside for now while you work on the rest of the wiring.\nYou can splice a jumper wire onto another hot wire to provide electricity to another input.Variation: If you don’t have any black wire, wrap a piece of black electrical tape around the insulation on the piece you use to indicate that it has a current running through it. <img> Remove 4 in (10 cm) of insulation of the 12/2 and 12/3 cords. Carefully push the blade of a utility knife into the insulation at the end of the 12/2 cord. Make a 1 in (2.5 cm) slit and peel back the insulation to expose the wires inside the cord. Take off about 4 inches (10 cm) of the insulation from the end so you can easily manipulate the interior wires. Then remove the same amount of insulation from the 12/3 cord coming through the bottom of the box.\nBe careful not to cut through the interior wires, or else they will be too short to work with properly. <img> Strip ⁄2 in (1.3 cm) off the ends of each wire using wire strippers. Only grip 1 wire at a time so you make the cleanest cuts. Position the wire strippers ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the end of the wire and squeeze the handles together. Pull the strippers toward the end of the wire to remove the insulation. Continue taking the insulation off of each wire from both the 12/2 and 12/3 cords.\nAvoid stripping off more than ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of insulation since you could increase the risk of an electrical short or fire. <img> Wrap the red wire around the top brass screw on a switch. Hold your switch upright so the On position points to the top. Locate the brass-colored screw, which is usually on the right side of the switch. Loop the exposed end of the 12/3 cable’s red wire around the brass screw. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver to secure the wire to the switch.\nYou can use any kind of switch for your garbage disposal as long as it has set On and Off positions.\nThe red wire powers the garbage disposal’s outlet when you turn the switch on. <img> Attach the ground wires to the green screw on the switch. Locate the green or bare ground wires running from both the 12/2 and 12/3 cables. Loop the ends of the ground wires around the green screw on the switch, which is usually located on the bottom left side. Turn the screw clockwise with a screwdriver to tighten it against the wires.\nThe ground wires will carry electricity away from the disposal in case there’s an electrical surge. <img> Connect one end of the jumper wire to the switch’s bottom brass screw. Twist the end of the 4 in (10 cm) jumper wire onto the brass screw, which you can find on the bottom right side of the switch. Tighten the screw to secure the wire against the switch so it provides a steady current. Keep the other end of the jumper wire unattached inside the electrical box.\nThe black wire will always carry power between the switch and the outlet. <img> Secure a wire nut onto the jumper and black wires from the cords. Gather the ends of the black wires from the 12/2 cord, 12/3 cord, and jumper wire so they line up with one another. Twist the exposed ends of the wires by hand to splice them together. Set a wire cap on top of the spliced wires and screw it on clockwise until it’s tight.\nWire caps are small plastic pieces that hide exposed wiring and ensure the splice has a tight connection. You can buy them from your local hardware store.\nThe splice now allows power to travel from the circuit to the switch and outlet. <img> Screw the ends of the white wires together with a wire nut. Hold the ends of the white wires from each cord together so they line up. Twist the exposed wires together by hand until they’re wound tightly. Set a wire cap on top of the splice and turn it clockwise until you can’t tighten it any further.\nThe white wires do not attach to the switch at all. Instead, they will attach to the outlet to complete the circuit. <img> Attach the switch plate into the electrical box. Push all of the wires into the electrical box so you can position the switch plate flush against the drywall. Use the provided mounting screws for the switch and attach the metal exterior plate to the holes on the top and bottom of the box. Screw the switch in tightly so it doesn’t fall out or come loose.\nYou do not have to attach a switch cover until you’re sure the wiring works properly. <img> ",
"Cut through 3 in (7.6 cm) of the 12/3 cord’s insulation with a utility knife. Make a 1 in (2.5 cm) slit at the end of the 12/3 cord, being careful not to damage any of the internal wires. Peel back about 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the cord’s insulation so you’re able to maneuver the wires easier.\nIf you damage the internal wires, cut them with wire cutters just below the damaged section.\nAvoid removing more insulation from the 12/3 cord since you could tangle the wires easier. <img> Strip the last ⁄2 in (1.3 cm) of insulation from each wire. Only work on a single wire at a time so you don’t damage them. Grip the last ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of wire in the strippers and squeeze the handles together. Pull the strippers toward the end of the wire to remove the insulation. Then strip the rest of the wires from inside the 12/3 cord so the ends are exposed.\nDon’t remove any more insulation from the wires since you could risk electrical problems or sparks later on. <img> Break off the tab between a grounded outlet’s brass screws. Use a grounded outlet that accepts plugs with 3 prongs so you can safely use the disposal. Locate the brass screws on the right side of the outlet and find the metal tab holding them together. Grip the brass tab with a pair of needlenose pliers and slowly bend it backward using firm pressure until it snaps off.\nYou can buy a grounded outlet from your local hardware store.\nAvoid using outlets that don’t have grounding bars on them since they could short more easily and possibly cause shock or fire.\nYou do not need to use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet, which shuts off power if there’s too much of an electrical load, for a garbage disposal.Warning: If you don’t snap off the brass tab, the garbage disposal will run while it’s plugged in even when you turn the switch off. <img> Attach the black wire to the bottom brass screw on the outlet. Loop the end of the black wire around the brass screw on the bottom right side of the outlet. Tighten the screw with a screwdriver to hold the wire in place so it doesn’t fall out. Lightly pull on the wire to ensure it has a firm connection, and tighten the screw more if needed.\nThe bottom receptacle on the outlet will always have power, so avoid plugging the garbage disposal into it. You can use the bottom outlet for a dishwasher if you have one. <img> Wrap the red wire around the outlet’s top brass screw. Loop the exposed end of the red wire clockwise around the brass screw on the top right side. Turn the screw clockwise with a screwdriver to tighten it until the wire presses firmly against the outlet. Tug on the wire lightly to check that it doesn’t pull out.\nThe top outlet will only work when you turn on the switch. Since you broke off the tab between the brass screws, the top outlet will lose power when you turn off the switch. <img> Connect the white wire to the silver neutral screw on the outlet. Locate the silver screw on the top left side of the outlet. Loop the white wire around the bottom of the screw and tighten it with a screwdriver. Tuck the remaining white wire back into the electrical box so it’s out of the way.\nThe white wire is neutral and completes the circuit so power can flow through the outlet safely. <img> Secure the ground wire to the green grounding screw. Locate the green or bare wire and attach it to the threading on the green screw, which is usually on the bottom left side of the outlet. Use a screwdriver to tighten the ground screw until it makes a firm connection with the wire.\nThe grounding screw prevents you from getting any electrical injury by directing the current back to the circuit breaker. <img> Screw the outlet into the electrical box. Push all of the wires into the electrical box and position the outlet in front of them. Put a screw through the hole on the top of the outlet so it goes into the hole in the electrical box. Turn the screw clockwise with a screwdriver until it’s tight. Then, secure the bottom screw on the outlet the same way so none of the wires extend past the wall.\nLeave the outlet exposed for now so you can adjust the wiring if you need to. <img> Turn on the circuit and plug the disposal into the top outlet. Go back to the circuit box and find the breaker that controls the new circuit for the switch and outlet you installed. Flip it to the On position so power runs through the wires. Make sure the disposal and switch are turned off before plugging the disposal into the top plug. Flip the wall switch to the On position and your disposal will run!\nNever put your hands inside a garbage disposal when it’s connected to power since you could seriously hurt yourself.\nIf the garbage disposal doesn’t work, check the wire connections again. If you still can’t find a problem, turn off the circuit and contact an electrician. <img> "

"Holding in a bowel movement worsens constipation. Whenever you feel like you need to make a bowel movement, go to the bathroom as soon as you can. Avoid straining or trying to push while you’re on the toilet since it could increase your risk of hemorrhoids or anal fissures.\nAvoid using your phone or reading while you’re on the toilet. Only stay in the bathroom as long as you need to. <img> ",
"The correct posture prevents you from straining while you go. When you sit on the toilet, keep your back straight, lean forward, and rest your elbows on your knees. If you can, put your feet on a stool so your knees are higher than your hips. Bulge your stomach to make it easier for you to go.\nAvoid hovering or squatting over the toilet seat since it puts more pressure on your pelvic floor muscles. <img> ",
"Eating stimulates your bowels naturally and gives you the urge to go. Aim to have 3–4 small meals spread evenly throughout your day. Try to eat around the same time every day so your body gets used to the routine. Make enough time so you have a few minutes free after eating just in case you feel the urge to go to the bathroom. <img> ",
"High-fiber foods bulk up your waste and move it out of your bowels. Some foods that are high in fiber include whole-grain bread and pasta, beans, apples, ripe bananas, broccoli, carrots, and almonds. Start incorporating some of these foods into each of your meals so you can get enough fiber throughout the entire day.\nFor example, a medium apple with skin has about 3.7 grams of fiber, ½ cup (75 g) of green beans has 2 g, a slice of whole-wheat bread has 2 g, and 1 cup (200 g) of whole-wheat spaghetti has 6.3 g.\nIncrease the amount of fiber in your diet gradually since having too much causes bloating and gas.\nIf you don’t get enough fiber from your diet, you can also take fiber supplements. Just talk to your doctor before starting them since they can affect how you absorb other medications. <img> ",
"Sugary and fatty foods make you constipated since they don’t have much fiber. Do your best to cut frozen meals, snack foods, and fast food out of your diet. Find healthy replacements, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and homemade meals, so you keep getting healthy amounts of fiber through your diet.\nCheck the nutritional information on your food to see how much fiber it contains before eating it. <img> ",
"Fluids make your stools softer and easier to pass. Aim to have at least 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water every day if you’re a man or 11.5 cups (2.7 L) if you’re a woman. As a good rule of thumb, just drink something whenever you’re feeling thirsty. You can also incorporate fruit juices, clear soups, and broth to help the fiber from your diet work better.\nWater also prevents dehydration, which might lead to constipation as well. <img> ",
"Working out pushes waste through your intestines faster. If you sit down a lot during the day, try to get up and spend a little bit of time being physically active. You can try lifting weights, going for long walks, playing intramural sports, or anything else that gets you up on your feet. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of physical activity during the week to keep your body healthy and your bowel movements regular.\nTalk to your doctor to see if you’re healthy enough to start a workout program. They’ll recommend exercises for you based on your current physical condition.\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\tDale Prokupek, MD\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoard Certified Internist & Gastroenterologist\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDale Prokupek, MD is a board-certified Internist and Gastroenterologist who runs a private practice based in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Prokupek is also a staff physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and an associate clinical professor of medicine at the Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Prokupek has over 30 years of medical experience and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the liver, stomach, and colon, including chronic hepatitis C, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, anal condyloma, and digestive diseases related to chronic immune deficiency. He holds a BS in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and an MD from the Medical College of Wisconsin. He completed an internal medicine residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a gastroenterology fellowship at the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDale Prokupek, MD\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoard Certified Internist & Gastroenterologist\t\t\t\tYoga is also a great, less intense option—especially if the poses you're doing involve twisting or turning a lot. Pair a movement regime with a diet full of fiber and probiotics to help your GI tract regulate itself. <img> ",
"Anxiety and stress can lead to constipation and make it harder to go. It’s completely normal to get stressed every now and then, but too much upsets your stomach and digestion. Look for techniques that help you calm back down. You can try meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or visualization of your happy place. Incorporate some stress management into your regular routine so you never feel too overwhelmed.\nFor example, you could try box breathing, where you inhale for 4 counts, hold your breath for 4 counts, and exhale slowly for 4 counts. Keep repeating this until you feel calm. <img> ",
"Only try laxatives if nothing else works. Laxatives stimulate your bowels so it’s easier to go, but they do have their drawbacks. Since they can be habit-forming and disrupt your normal digestion, only use them if you haven’t been successful with any other methods we’ve recommended. If you do take laxatives, follow all the dosage instructions on the packaging so you don’t overuse them.\nYou can take laxatives by mouth if they’re oral pills, but you must insert saline enemas and some suppositories into your rectum. <img> ",
"Some opioid painkillers and antidepressants cause constipation. If you’re currently on prescription medication, ask your doctor if constipation is a common side effect. Let them know what you’re experiencing and ask if there’s anything you can do about it. They may recommend switching medications or could prescribe a low-dose laxative to counteract your symptoms. <img> "

How to Recover a Dead Hard Disk | [
"B5nsxvlPNg2d",
"dMnDuN23qr5M"
] | [
"Stop using your computer immediately. If your hard drive is still spinning but you're encountering performance issues, it's best to stop the hard drive from running as soon as possible. Once you've turned off your computer, don't turn it on again until you can take it to a professional repair service.\nIf you're worried about an external hard drive malfunctioning, you can simply unplug it from your computer. <img> Try plugging your hard drive into a different port or computer. If you can get your hard drive to work on a computer other than the one in which it currently resides, the problem isn't necessarily with the hard drive itself--it's with the cables or the ports on your computer.\nIf you're using an external hard drive, this is as easy as unplugging it from your computer and plugging it into a different one. You'll also want to try a replacement cable in case the old one is malfunctioning.\nInternal hard drives present a more complicated problem. In order to diagnose your internal hard drive's connection health, you'll first need to remove the drive from your computer. After doing so, you can buy a hard drive docking station or a USB cable converter (Amazon sells both) that allows you to connect your external hard drive to another computer.\nBefore removing a hard drive, make sure your computer is unplugged and the battery is disconnected (if applicable).\nRemoving a hard drive is an incredibly difficult task on a Mac. If you intend to do so anyway, proceed with caution.\nIn rare cases, a hard drive failing to work on your specific computer (but working on others) can be symptomatic of a failing motherboard. If you can get your hard drive running on any computer other than your own, you should take your computer into a tech company somewhere to get it checked out. <img> Know the different components of a hard drive. Hard drives have three distinct components that are likely to cause a drive failure if they malfunction:\n\nPCB - The circuit board (usually on the bottom of your hard drive) controls most of your hard drive's functions, as well as translating hard drive information into readable information. Circuit boards are typically green.\n\nPlatters - Thin disks that store data. Platters are responsible for most of the noise you hear when your hard drive starts up. Unless you're a professional with access to a clean room and the necessary equipment, you won't be able to fix your hard drive's platters on your own.\n\nHead Assembly - The head assembly is what reads the data off of the platters. Again, you won't be able to repair the head assembly without professional-grade experience and equipment. <img> Assess the sounds your drive was making. Depending on what's wrong with it, your hard drive will make certain sounds. Be sure to cross-reference your hard drive's model with the sound it's making to ensure an accurate diagnosis.\nFor example: if your hard drive was making a clicking noise, it most likely has a problem with the head assembly.\nUnfortunately, most problems that are diagnosable by the sound they cause will need professional care. <img> Refrain from using do-it-yourself quick fixes. These include things like freezing your hard drive or applying force to it. While some users may report success from these methods, performing a short-term fix on your hard drive is bound to make successful data recovery from a professional service even less likely than it already was.\nEven if you can get a quick fix to work, the effects are usually short-term. Your hard drive will still end up dying. <img> ",
"Understand that hard drive recovery is a job for professionals. Due to the incredibly complex construction of a hard drive, you won't be able to fix your own drive to the point of being able to retrieve the data stored on it unless you have an advanced background in electronics. For this reason, you should hand your hard drive over to a professional repair service.\nAttempting to fix a dead hard drive will only lessen the chances of a professional being able to repair it.\nEven replacing the PCB board is an advanced exercise that requires knowledge of how to solder circuitry and purchase exact part replacements. <img> Expect to pay a lot of money for the repair. True hard drive recovery entails the use of clean rooms, specialized equipment, and highly trained personnel. As such, you'll likely spend over a thousand dollars getting your hard drive's information back. <img> Find the repair company that best suits your needs. You can usually find drive recovery services through your local tech outlet, but a couple of outstanding options include the following:\n\nBest Buy - Best Buy's \"Geek Squad\" branch handles data recovery. You can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to a little under $1500, depending on the severity of the hard drive's damage.\n\nDrive Savers - Drive Savers is a 24/7 customer service-based data recovery company with 30 years of experience. In addition to computer hard disk recovery, they can also recover smart phone and camera hard drives. <img> Pick a company and stick with it. Each time someone opens your hard drive and tries to fix it, the probability of it actually getting fixed decreases. This is because opening your hard drive renders it susceptible to things like dust, static electricity, and other environmental hazards. To minimize the risk, you should avoid asking for multiple consultations from different companies. To be sure of the company's competence, inquire what kinds of data recovery tools they use. If they use PC3K or DeepSpar, that is a good sign. <img> "

How to Read a Doctor's Prescription | [
"459S5X2sgJhG",
"7oC7Kkk66J5y"
] | [
"Know the parts of the prescription. There are certain pieces of information that your doctor will always include on a prescription. The doctor's professional information, such as her name, address, and phone number, will be at the top of the form. In the upper section of the prescription sheet, there will be a place for your name, your age or birth date, your address, and the date the prescription is given to you. Below this, your doctor will write the relevant drug information.\nThis will include the medicine she is prescribing, the dosage, how many pills to take per dose, and how each dose should be taken.\nThere will also be information for the pharmacist about how much of the medicine to give you when your fill it the first time and how many times you can refill it.\nYour doctor will also sign and date the bottom to verify that it was prescribed by a professional.\nIf the prescription is for a controlled substance -- one that the government has decided has the potential for \"abuse or dependence,\" such as morphine or methadone -- certain additional requirements must be included. The form must stipulate the number of refills (if any) and must be written in ink or typewritten. It must be manually signed by the prescribing physician.\nThe prescription form will vary depending on what your doctor uses. For example, there may be boxes that she fills in for number of refills or it may be generated by a computer. Regardless of how it is written, the same basic information must always be written on the prescription form.\nMany practitioners will now send prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. This is considered easier and more convenient by many practitioners, and also may reduce the chance of an error. <img> Understand how to read the drug name. The main purpose of your prescription is to let the pharmacist know what drug you need in what concentration. Don't worry if you don't recognize the name of the drug. Typically, your doctor will write out the generic name for the drug. This is because the brand names for drugs can be spelled similarly and it might cause confusion or error at the pharmacy.\nIf your doctor wants you to take a particular brand of medicine, she can write a note to your pharmacist that indicates this need. It will say something along the lines of \"no substitution\" or \"brand name medically necessary.\"\nThere might also be a box on the prescription somewhere that indicates if your doctor prefers the generic or brand name version of the medication. <img> Read the dosage information correctly. The number behind the name of the drug is the amount you should take per dose. It will vary depending on the type of medication that you are taking. For example, most pills will be in milligrams, but measurements can also appear in grams or micrograms. The doctor may write out the full word for this or she may write the abbreviations. The abbreviation for milligrams is mg, g is for grams, and mcg is for micrograms.\nIf you are taking a liquid medicine or medicine by syringe, the dosage information will be in milliliters. The abbreviation for this is ml. <img> Learn the abbreviations for dosage methods. On your prescription, the line underneath the drug and dosage concentration will be the instructions on how many doses you should take at one time and the method that should be used to take the medication. The main problem with being able to read these is that typically, doctors use medical shorthand, some based on Latin phrases, that you are not able to understand unless you have a medical background.\nFor the number of doses to take at one time, the doctor might write an i for the number of doses you need to take at a time. For example, if you are supposed to take 3 pills per dose, your doctor might write iii on your prescription. She may also write sig, which means to take it as it is labeled to be taken. There are other doctors, however, who will just write what you are supposed to have, such as \"1 tab,\" which indicates how much you should take.\nAfter the amount per day, the doctor will write how to administer your medication. Each method has an abbreviation that is Latin based. Po means to take it orally, pr means per rectum or suppository, sl means sublingual or under the tongue, IV means injected into the vein, IM means injected into the muscle, and SQ means subcutaneous or under the skin. <img> Decipher how you should take the medication. Next to the dosage methods, the doctor will write an abbreviation for how often you should take your medication. This describes the number of times a day or week you should take your medication. Next to this, she will write any special circumstances under which you should take the medication. This will indicate things such as the need to take the medication with food.\nThe description of how often you should take your medicine is abbreviated using Latin phrases just like the method. Qd means every day, od means once daily, bid means twice a day, tid means three times a day, and qid means four times a day. The abbreviation qam means every morning, qpm means every night, q2h means every 2 hours, qod means every other day, and hs means at bedtime.\nAny special instructions are also abbreviated based on Latin phrases. Pc means after meals or not on an empty stomach, ac means before meals, qhs means each night, and prn means as needed.\nSome doctors will write how often it should be taken instead, such as writing \"daily\" next to the dosage information. For controlled substances such as pain killers, she may write out the reason for taking the medication, such as the phrase \"pain\" if you need certain medications after surgery or for a chronic condition. <img> Look for refills. Your doctor may authorize a certain number of refills for your prescription without needing you to come in for another examination or follow-up. <img> ",
"Write out your questions. Before you go to the doctor, you should have some questions ready in case you get prescribed medication. You should ask about the medication you are taking and all the details involved in its administration. This includes questions about the name of the medication, how often you are supposed to take it, the manner in which to take it, what disease the medication is treating, and if there are any side effects you should expect to have. You can also ask about what to do if you miss a dose and when you should stop taking the medication. It's a good idea to write these out in advance so you don't forget them.\nYou might also want to ask what taking the medicine will accomplish, if there is a less expensive alternative, or if there are any interactions with other prescribed or over the counter medications, dietary supplements, foods, or herbal supplements. <img> Ask for an explanation of the prescription. When you visit your doctor, if you are not exactly sure how to read the prescription you are given, you can ask them to explain their instructions for the medication before you leave the office. Use the questions you prepared before you went to the office to understand more about your prescription. Make sure you fully understand any terms they use or any descriptions that you may not know the meaning of.\nMake sure you write down the answers that give you so you will be able to compare this with what you get from the pharmacy. This way you make sure you are always taking the right medication in the right doses. <img> Request that the pharmacist review the prescription. One way to make sure that all the right procedures are followed in regards to your prescription is to have your pharmacist review it when you drop it off and when you pick it up. Mistakes can take place when a pharmacist reads the directions differently than what the doctor intended.\nYou can help prevent dangerous medication errors by double checking and asking the pharmacist to verify the prescription with your physician.\nIf you have any questions about the prescription or the medication, ask your pharmacist. <img> Review the information your pharmacist gives you. Once you get your prescription filled, you will get a pamphlet from the pharmacist that explains the medication you are taking, what side effects may occur, and many other medicine intricacies that you may have questions about it. The pharmacist will usually offer to explain the medication and answer any lingering questions you have about your medications.\nIf you experience side effects or interaction effects, you should call your health care provider immediately to report them and ask for a confirmation of your intended prescription, as well as further instructions for taking the medication. <img> "

How to Transfer Assets Into a Living Trust | [
"3MGp8hsjpnQ8",
"kMYmcXfCDrqK",
"W3zHakpo1Xcz"
] | [
"Understand the benefits of a living trust. The primary reason to establish a living trust is to avoid probate. By cutting out the legal process to recognize and validate your will, your assets can be distributed to your beneficiaries without the added time and cost of probate.\nA second, and often little-known, benefit is that if you become unable to manage your own affairs, your alternate trustee can step in without having to go through the process of establishing a conservatorship. <img> Categorize your property. Before you can transfer them to a living trust, you need to make a list of your assets and fit each into one of the four main categories. Each type of asset has a different procedure for transferring it into your trust.\nReal property is the first category. This includes your residence, secondary homes, income property, and any other real estate where you hold a full or partial interest. This can include property you own in another state.\nA second category is your cash accounts. This includes checking and savings accounts, as well as Certificates of Deposit and Money Market accounts.\nYour next consideration is financial instruments including stocks and bonds in both privately and publicly held corporations.\nThe final category is tangible personal property. This can include your vehicles, boats, furniture, antiques, art, and other collectibles.\nIf you want to consider other assets, including retirement accounts, pensions, and life insurance policies, consult with a tax professional before the transfer. Including these accounts in your living trust could trigger tax consequences.\nSome items like Individual Retirement Accounts(IRAs)cannot be placed in your living trust. They must be in your name as they can't be owned by the trust.\nSome of the states do not allow life insurance policies to be owned by a trust. <img> Create a will. A living trust is part of a comprehensive estate plan and it does not negate the need for a will. You need to have a simple will to deal with the assets that you are not including in your living trust. <img> ",
"Transfer your real estate. The lawyer who created your trust can draw up the deeds needed to transfer ownership of your home and other property from you to your trust. This may feel like a big step, but you are protecting your property from probate court.\nYou may have to pay transfer or recording fees. They vary by state, but should be less than $50.\nIf there is a mortgage on any of your properties, contact the mortgage company before you start the transfer. You may need permission to add your living trust as a responsible party on the mortgage.\nYou also need to contact your title insurance company, if applicable, and the homeowner's insurance carrier to add your trust to the policies. <img> Assign your financial accounts. Talk to your bank about local procedures. Some banks require copies of the trust documents before they can open accounts in the name of your trust. Some banks will allow a name change, while others will require you to open new accounts in the name of your trust and close the old accounts. The primary trustees, as well as your alternate trustees, will sign the signature cards. This is critical to ensure seamless transition of your accounts in the event of your death. <img> Add your stocks and bonds to your trust. Contact either the broker who manages your account or the issuer of the financial instrument. If the organization has specific instructions and forms, you will follow those. In general, you will send a notarized letter stating your intent to transfer the account, the original certificates, a copy of your trust instrument, a power of attorney authorizing only the change in ownership, and an IRS Form W-9. <img> Place your tangible property into the trust. Tangible property, other than vehicles, can be placed in your trust in one of two ways. First, you can create a written inventory of the goods and make it an addendum to the trust document. The second is to store the items in a safe deposit box that is owned by your trust. <img> If any of your tangible items are insured, transfer the insurance in the name of your trust.\nTake some time with the inventory. For collectables, write detailed descriptions and take photos. {\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/thumb\\/a\\/a1\\/Transfer-Assets-Into-a-Living-Trust-Step-7.jpg\\/v4-460px-Transfer-Assets-Into-a-Living-Trust-Step-7.jpg\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/a\\/a1\\/Transfer-Assets-Into-a-Living-Trust-Step-7.jpg\\/aid1848723-v4-728px-Transfer-Assets-Into-a-Living-Trust-Step-7.jpg\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":345,\"bigWidth\":728,\"bigHeight\":546,\"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> Assign your vehicles to your trust. Vehicles, including automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers, require that you transfer the title over to your trust. This is done at the registration office, often called a tag agency, in the county where you live.\nContact the company that carries your auto insurance to list your trust as an additional insured party. Most states will not transfer vehicle registration without proof of insurance.\nConsult with the registration agency in your county. They may have forms or specific procedures for asset transfers that are not straight sales.\nMake sure you will not be assessed a duplicate sales tax on the vehicle. Speak with the manager or official in charge if necessary.\nBoats are also a special category. If the craft is registered with the state or county, it will have to be transferred over into the name of the trust. If the vessel is over 5 net tons or 25 feet, you may have to execute a federal registration through the Coast Guard.\nIf the boat is not subject to any registration requirements, you can transfer title on your written schedule of tangible property. <img> ",
"Select the right trustee. In a living trust, you will likely be the primary trustee. In a living trust, you can buy, sell, and add assets as you wish. The concern is who will become the trustee if you are incapacitated or pass away.\nIf you become unable to make your own decisions, your trust flows straight to the alternate trustees. Most of the time, this will be your spouse. Other choices are adult children or other trustworthy family members.\nAnother choice is a professional trustee including your attorney, the bank's trust office, or a trustee company. Strongly consider having a third-party professional trustee as an alternate. If there were to be an accident that claimed several members of your family, your trust could be left hanging.\nAll of your alternate trustees will have to be on the signature cards of your financial accounts.\nOnly your spouse has the power to name additional beneficiaries. <img> Name your beneficiaries to limit challenges. Your trust must name beneficiaries. This can be any person or organization legally able to receive the assets of your trust. However, cutting a member of your family out as beneficiary can lead to a lawsuit challenging the trust.\nYour trust can contain a \"no-contest\" clause stating that anyone who challenges the trust is automatically disinherited. However, some states have laws that weaken this clause. Consult with your attorney on how best to name and structure your gifts to your beneficiaries. <img> Have a long term care plan. A living trust should be part of a comprehensive estate plan. If you lose your ability to make your own decisions, your trust can carry on and the assets be used for your care.\nUnless you have long-term care or nursing home insurance, you will likely need help from your state's Medicaid plan to pay for long term residential care. However, changes in the law have made it harder for living trusts to be used as a shelter for assets.\nAny asset transfers made to a living trust within 60 months of your admittance to a nursing home, may trigger a penalty period during which Medicaid will not pay any nursing home benefits.\nStrongly consider discussing your options, including paid-care agreements with your family, with an attorney that is experienced in the law concerning government benefits, estate planning, and elder law. <img> "

How to Plan a Feeding Schedule for Your Cat | [
"URkYT1S41s5u",
"bpA5dHuKHJnd",
"K8PPKd945XJ9"
] | [
"Consider your cat’s age. How often you feed your cat depends, in part, on its age. Kittens need to be fed more frequently than adult cats, for example, because they are growing and expending a lot of energy. Use the following guidelines to determine how many times a day to feed your cat:\nKittens up to six months of age should be fed three times a day.\nFrom six months old to about one year old, you should feed your cat twice a day.\nAdult cats (one year or older) and senior cats can be fed either once or twice a day. Feeding your cat once a day is fine as long as it is healthy and doesn’t have any diseases that require a different feeding schedule. <img> Consider your cat’s health. Some cats may develop health problems that require you feed them at certain times during the day. For example, if your cat has diabetes, you may need to feed it when you give it medication. For these situations, it is best to consult with your veterinarian on how often you should feed your cat.\nIf your cat does have a disease, treat the disease first before changing its feeding schedule. If the disease is treatable, you should be able to return to a normal feeding schedule once your cat is healthy. <img> Adjust meals if your cat is throwing up. Regurgitating before or after a meal can be a sign that your cat is either getting too hungry in between meals or is eating too much at once. If you notice these symptoms in your cat, try feeding it small meals more often throughout the day—possibly up to four times a day. Doing so will help keep your cat fuller throughout the day and allow it to eat smaller meals more frequently, both of which should help diffuse its need to regurgitate.\nA \"slow feeder\" or timed feeder that emits food in small increments will also help cats that eat too rapidly.\nIt is recommended that cats eat between 24 to 35 calories per day per pound (roughly 13 calories per kilogram), so split this amount up between the total number of feedings to make sure you’re not overfeeding your cat.\nIf you change your cat’s feeding schedule, but it is still regurgitating consistently, take your cat to the vet to get checked out. <img> Watch for signs your cat is overweight or underweight. You can consult with your veterinarian if you’re not sure whether or not your cat’s weight is ideal, or use a visual \"body scoring system\" for cats: \nBody score 1/5 (very underweight): cannot feel any fat, can see and feel hip bones and lower vertebrae, ribs visible for short-haired cats\n2/5 (underweight): can easily feel ribs with minimal fat covering, visible lower vertebrae, visible waist behind ribs\n3/5 (normal): can feel ribs with slight fat covering, waist visible behind ribs\n4/5 (overweight): ribs difficult to feel due to fat, obviously rounded abdomen affecting waist shape\n5/5 (very overweight): cannot feel ribs, no narrowing waist behind ribs, heavy fat deposits on lower back, face, and limbs.\nTalk to your vet about dietary changes before trying anything extreme. A rapid weight loss diet can cause fatty liver disease in cats. <img> ",
"Pick a time that is convenient for you and your family. If you are consistent, it generally doesn’t matter what time of day you feed your cat. If your mornings are hectic trying to get ready for work and get the kids ready for school, it may be better to feed your cat in the afternoon or evening. If you’re feeding your cat two or three times a day, pick the times that are easiest for you and do your best to stick to this schedule. \nIt might help you remember to feed your cat at the same time every day if you stick to a ritual. For example, put food out when you are waiting for your coffee to brew every morning, or feed your cat as soon as you get home from work in the evening. <img> Accept that your cat will “remind” you if you don’t feed it on time. Remember, your cat will get used to the schedule you choose and may “remind” you when it’s meal time. For example, if you feed your cat around 7a.m. every Monday through Friday morning, don’t be surprised if your cat wakes you up on the weekends at this time as well. Your cat will become accustomed to the feeding schedule you set and will expect to be fed promptly. <img> Pay attention to your cat’s preferences. Each cat is different, so your cat might prefer to be fed at a different time than your friend’s cat. For example, if you notice your cat doesn’t eat its morning meal, but seems to beg for more food before bedtime, try switching up your cat’s feeding schedule to accommodate its preferences.\nHowever, if your cat’s preferences make it difficult for you to maintain a consistent feeding schedule, it might be better to stick to the schedule that works best for you. <img> ",
"Set a reminder on your phone. If you have trouble remembering to feed your cat at the same time each day, try setting a reminder on your phone. Although you may not always be able to feed your cat at the exact same time every day, setting daily reminders can help you remain consistent when you can. <img> Create a schedule for your family. If your entire family takes responsibility for feeding your cat, it may be helpful to create a schedule that details who is responsible for feeding the cat, what time they should feed it, and how much they should feed it. This will help ensure your cat isn’t being double-fed or that its meals aren’t accidentally getting skipped.\nHang the schedule somewhere everyone in the family will see it—maybe on the refrigerator door or next to your cat’s food bowls.\nIt might also be helpful to have each member of the family put an “X” or slash on the schedule after they feed the cat to ensure the schedule is being followed properly. <img> Use a timed feeder. If you are not home consistently or at the same times throughout the day, you can use a timed cat feeder to make sure your cat is getting its meals on a schedule. These feeders will work with either dry, canned, or raw foods. Using a timed feeder can be a big help in keeping your cat on a consistent feeding schedule when you are away for extended or inconsistent periods of time. <img> "

How to Forget a Cheating Boyfriend | [

] | [
"Exercise to regulate your mood. Regular exercise can help lift your mood, and can help you keep busy. This will give you less time to ruminate over what happened with your ex-boyfriend. Try picking up a new exercise routine to help boost your mood and forget your ex.\nChoose a type of routine you like, as you'll be more likely to stick to it. If you hate running, don't commit to a weekly run. Instead, go for a bike ride after work.\nStart any new workout routine slowly. You may want to talk to your doctor first, especially if it's been awhile since you worked out regularly. <img> Pick up an old hobby. Do you have any old hobbies you no longer do? Now may be a good time to pick up that hobby. If you can stay busy with a particular hobby or interest, you are more likely to forget about your boyfriend.\nThink about something you used to do that got away from you. Maybe you used to be an avid knitter, but got busy with other things. Try taking up a knitting project again after breaking up with your ex.\nIf you can't think of any old hobbies, try a new one. Find something you enjoy that you've never tried before. For example, maybe you could join a sports league. A new hobby can easily help you get your mind off your ex. <img> Watch lighthearted television. Stock up on comedies and feel good movies. It's a good idea to allow yourself to embrace something silly and lighthearted in the wake of a great betrayal. Make a Netflix collection of comedies. Marathon watch your favorite humor television show. This will keep your mind off the pain and help you forget. <img> Stay around people. There's no sense closing yourself off from others in the wake of a breakup. As you attempt to forget your ex-boyfriend, surround yourself with supportive friends. A solid support system can help you forget how your ex hurt you. You will also feel grateful for all the good people in your life, even if your romantic relationship ended poorly.\nIn a relationship, you get used to having someone around all the time. With a significant other, you feel like someone is always a text or a phone call away. When things end, you may find yourself wishing for that closeness again.\nRemember, you do have people in your life. You have friends and family members who care about you. Reach out to them on your bad days. Do something fun that will take your mind off your ex. <img> ",
"Allow yourself to think about your ex in moderation. It seems counterintuitive, but this will actually help you forget your ex. Studies show if you try to not think about something, you'll just end up thinking about it more. Instead of trying to obliterate your ex from your consciousness, allow yourself to occasionally engage in thoughts of your ex.\nDo not panic if you occasionally think about your ex. Instead of thinking, \"I need to not think about this. Why am I letting this get to me?\" stop and accept the thoughts. Think something like, \"It's normal to still feel sad sometimes. I'm going to let myself experience these thoughts.\"\nInstead, allow yourself to experience the thoughts for a few minutes. Remind yourself why you're upset, but ultimately better off. Remember, this person cheated on you and broke your trust. You're better off without him. <img> Remind yourself that it was your ex’s decision to cheat. Dealing with a cheating boyfriend may cause you to start to evaluate your own actions and wonder if you could have somehow prevented the situation. If you find yourself doing this, take a moment to remind yourself that your boyfriend chose to cheat and that you had nothing to do with that decision.\nTry saying something to yourself like, “This was his decision. I could not have stopped it and I did not cause it.” <img> Remember the bad parts of the relationship. This can actually help you feel better about the breakup, allowing you to move on and forget faster. When you start feeling sad about the breakup, remind yourself of your ex's bad qualities. This can stop you from romanticizing the relationship. You can acknowledge your ex's imperfections in a healthy, cathartic manner.\nObviously, the infidelity is a major flaw. However, that is not something you have to focus your energies towards if it makes you sad.\nYou can think about small things. For example, \"I hate that he always made us late to movies\" or \"I hate that he clipped his toenails in the living room.\" Allow yourself to be a little petty. <img> Cut off contact with your ex. If you're still in contact with him, you're not going to be able to forget him. If you don't want to continue the relationship, then cut off contact. Stop texting him, calling him, or interacting with him on social media.\nAvoid the temptation to call him in moments of weakness. If you're upset and need to vent, turn to friends over your ex-boyfriend.\nYou should only reestablish contact when you're ready to have a relationship again. Keep in mind, however, you may never feel ready for a relationship again. Many people struggle to stay friends with their exes. It's okay if you do not want this person as a friend. <img> Talk things out with only a few people. You do not want to emotionally unload on everyone in your friend's group. Having everyone know your business may make it hard to forget. You also open yourself up to potentially unsolicited advice. Pick one or two close friends and tell them about the infidelity.\nTry to limit your venting, however. You do not want to end up upsetting yourself by making your ex the subject of too many conversations.\nTalk a little about your ex to these friends. Then, discuss other topics that help you forget and move on. <img> Do not seek out details. If your ex-boyfriend cheated, you may want to know everything possible about the man or woman he cheated with. However, seeking out details is only likely to make you feel bad. Nothing good will come of looking through old credit card receipts and emails, or looking at your ex's social media profile. You do not need to know the details now that the relationship is over.\nIf necessary, have an action plan in place when you feel the need to dig up details. You can think of something specific to do instead. For example, instead of going through your ex's Facebook posts, have a video game to play instead. <img> ",
"Use self-soothing activities to feel better. Dealing with a cheating boyfriend can make you feel sad, angry, and confused. You can use self-soothing activities to help you to feel better as you experience your emotions. Some things you might try include:\nTaking a long bath.\nListening to some of your favorite music.\nWriting in a journal or drawing.\nReading a book or watching a movie.\nSpending time with your pet or with family members. <img> Take care of yourself. Self-care should not be neglected in the wake of a breakup. Make sure to take care of yourself while healing. If you neglect things like healthy eating and sleeping, you end up feeling worse. This will make it harder to turn your energy away from your ex.\nAnxiety-inducing thoughts get worse if you're hungry, tired, dehydrated, or deprived in other ways. Stick to your regular routine to keep your mood as good as possible.\nYou should also find healthy ways to deal with stress. Avoid things like heavy drinking. Instead, get a small treat to eat. Go to a spa for a day. Treat yourself to a new outfit. <img> Remind yourself you want to be happy. If an ex cheated, you may sometimes feel yourself trapped in bitter thoughts. If you feel like you're drowning in feelings of anger and resentment, stop and say, \"I want to be happy.\" This will help shift your focus to all the positive things you have, instead of focusing on how one person hurt you.\nRemind yourself you actually want to be happy in moments when you feel yourself getting sad. This will help you tune out the small frustrations in favor of embracing the future.\nFor example, you see a romantic Facebook post from your ex's new romantic interest. Instead of getting angry, say, \"I want to be happy.\" You will remember your goal is happiness, and you'll find other things to focus on. <img> Embrace the good in yourself. Infidelity can make you feel invaluable. Remember, you decide how much value you have and not another person. When times get difficult, and you feel bad about yourself, think about your good qualities.\nWrite a list of all your good qualities. Jot down everything in your life that makes you feel valuable and happy.\nThen, write down things you have to be grateful for. Think about things like your friends and family members. <img> Look towards the future with a positive attitude. There's no sense harboring negativity when considering the future. Say to yourself each day, \"I deserve better.\" Embrace the fact you're a good person who deserves a faithful partner.\nTell yourself you're going to meet someone better. Everyone goes through breakups, and everyone sometimes feels they will not recover. However, you're bound to eventually find someone who is kinder to you than your ex was.\nEach time you start feeling bad about your ex, say something to yourself like, \"It's okay. I can and will do better.\" <img> Rebuild your self-confidence. If you were cheated on, it can seriously affect your sense of self-worth. Take steps to rebuild your self-confidence in the wake of infidelity. Prioritize positive self-talk and finding ways to feel good about yourself.\nMake a list of things you like about yourself. This can help you remind yourself you have value.\nThink about your current relationships. Remind yourself you're lucky to have close friends and family members who value you, even if someone else hurt you.\nRemember everything you do right. Congratulate yourself for your recent successes and take stock of your talents and abilities. <img> "

How to Get Curtain Hair | [
"jYRxmO0KZrac",
"HBEVK0g1AHEb"
] | [
"Get your hair damp. Run your hair under the sink or shower to make it damp, but not dripping wet. Gently dab it with a towel to get the majority of the water out.\nIf you have curly hair, don’t get your hair wet. Just leave your hair dry and curly like you’d normally wear it.\nCutting your hair on your own can be pretty difficult, so you may want to ask a friend or family member to help you. You can also go to a barber or salon and ask for a curtain haircut. <img> Part your hair down the middle. For the cut to be even, take a fine tooth comb and part your hair directly down the middle, using your nose as a guide. Even if you don’t want to do a middle part in the future, it will help you as you cut your hair to check for symmetry on both sides.\nIf you have straight hair, use your comb to brush out your hair so it’s tangle-free.\nIf you have curly hair, just let your curls fall naturally once you part your hair down the middle.\nMake sure that your hair is long enough for curtain-style bangs. <img> Comb the sides of your hair forward to get them out of the way. Grab a comb and use it to push the hair from the back of your ears forward towards your face. Then, use your comb to push the rest of your hair backwards so there is a clear line between the sides and the back section. You can leave the top part of your hair alone for now, as you'll be cutting it later on.\nThis will help to separate the sections so you can cut each one individually. <img> Cut the back so it’s about 3 in (7.6 cm) long. Grab a pair of hair cutting scissors and use them to trim the back of your hair. Go from the nape of your neck upwards, but stop when you hit the middle of your head. Think about leaving a bowl cut shape around the top of your head to trim later.\nYou’ll want to use scissors, not clippers, to keep the sides and back slightly longer. <img> Trim the sides so they are 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) long. Now, move towards the sides of your hair and use the scissors to cut the ends. Hold your scissors at an angle and cut the sides until they’re about 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. Again, think about leaving a bowl cut shape around the top of your head, so don’t go past the tips of your ears.\nThis haircut is almost like an undercut, but the fade into long hair is a little more subtle and natural. <img> Cut the top so it’s about 7 to 8 in (18 to 20 cm) long. The top of your hair is the longest part, and it’s what creates the heavy “curtain” of hair. Use your scissors to cut from your forehead to the crown of your head until your hair is roughly 7 or 8 inches (18 or 20 cm) long.\nMake sure you keep the front of your hair fairly long, since that will create the bangs that hang over your forehead. <img> Add layers to the top of your hair by cutting at an angle. Pull 1 in (2.5 cm) sections of hair out away from your head and hold them in between 2 fingers. Hold your hair cutting scissors downward towards the hair and trim off a little bit from the ends to give your hair some texture. Keep going around the entire top section of your hair to make it more light and bouncy.\nIf you have texturizing hair scissors with a comb on one side, you can use those instead. <img> ",
"Part your hair down the middle or to one side. You can choose whether you want to wear your hair parted down the middle, to the right, or to the left. Use a comb to part your hair when it’s damp so that it stays in place.\nCurly hair often looks better parted to the side, while straight hair looks great parted down the middle.\nTry out a few different ways of parting your hair until you find the one that you like!\nIf you have curly hair, consider adding some curl-defining gel to your damp hair before you start drying it. <img> Dry your hair downwards to prevent frizz. While your hair is still damp, grab your hair dryer and point it down towards the top of your hair. Keeping it pointed downwards, focus the air on the longest part of your hair as you dry.\nYou can also air dry your hair, but it might not look as smooth or as sculpted.\nIf you have curly hair, use a diffuser attachment on the end of your dryer and gently push the hair into the diffuser. <img> Use a round brush to promote volume if you have straight hair. As you dry the top of your hair, use a round brush to pull the hair away from your face and back over your head. Keep brushing consistently as you dry your hair to give it some volume and a more feathered look.\nFocus the brush on the hair that frames your face to make it really light and flowy.\nIf you have curly hair, don’t use a brush, as it can make your hair frizzy. <img> Rub in some anti-frizz cream to finish your look. Grab a dime-sized amount of anti-frizz cream or gel, then rub it in between your palms. Gently comb through your hair with your fingers to apply the product and lock your style into place.\nAvoid heavy products, like gels, as they can weigh your hair down.\nYou don’t have to use any product if you’re going for the more natural, messy look.\nYou can also use a hair crème to style your hair. <img> "

How to Make Iced Chocolate | [
"j7XXrhv02k84",
"DdnJio0WH0QS"
] | [
"Start with a mug of milk or water. Iced chocolate made with milk has a much richer flavor. You may use water instead, but it's not recommended unless you do not drink milk.\nYou can experiment with various milk substitutes as well. <img> Mix in cocoa powder and sugar to taste. Start with one teaspoon (5mL) of each ingredient and adjust from there. You may use baking cocoa or unsweetened cocoa powder.\nDutch processed cocoa powder is less bitter, which most people prefer for drinking.\nYou may replace both ingredients with a pre-made hot chocolate mix, but these mixes tend to have tons of sugar and almost no chocolate. <img> Microwave for 30–45 seconds. Yes, this recipe is for iced chocolate. But in a cold liquid, cocoa powder and sugar tend to clump. Warm the liquid just enough to dissolve the powder with a quick stir. <img> Chill for 30–60 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes at room temperature, then move it to the fridge. Your chocolate should chill in about half an hour to an hour, depending on how cold your fridge is.\nYou can put the drink in the freezer for 5–10 minutes instead, but remember to take it out before it freezes. It's best to move it a plastic container first, since mugs and glasses can crack with rapid chilling. <img> Add ice. Add a few ice cubes to keep it cold, then drink. If you want a slushy drink instead, blend it with the ice in a food processor or strong blender. <img> Cover in toppings (optional). Try adding marshmallows, whipped cream, or cinnamon. <img> ",
"Make chocolate sauce (optional). This part is a bit tricky, so there's no shame in starting with store-bought sauce instead. If you're up for making it yourself, browse your options here or try this simple recipe:\n\nMake a double boiler and pour a little water into the lower section.\nCombine 7 oz (200g) finely chopped chocolate (any type) and ½ cup (120mL) heavy cream in the top of the double boiler. This is enough to make plenty of leftovers.\nBring to a simmer and stir constantly, until ingredients are mixed. If the chocolate loses its shine, reduce heat. If the sauce turns grainy, it's been overheated and is no longer usable. <img> Blend together all ingredients. Blend 1 tbsp (15mL) chocolate sauce, 1½ cups (360mL) milk, ¾ cup (180mL) vanilla or chocolate ice cream, and a generous scoop of crushed ice. To make an ice cream float instead of a thick, sludgy drink, add the ice cream after blending instead.\nIf you don't have a blender, whisk the chocolate sauce into the milk and top with ice cream and crushed ice.\nAdjust the amounts however you like. Depending on the type and brand of chocolate, you may need to add more chocolate sauce. <img> Serve with toppings. Serve in a long glass with a straw and spoon. Optionally, add a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top, chopped nuts, or other ice cream toppings. <img> "

"Log in to your YouTube account. <img> Press “My Channel”. This button is located near the top of the sidebar and will take your personal YouTube page. <img> Press “Video Manager”. This button appears in the top left of your channel and will take you to a list of your video uploads.\nYou can also access the Video Manager by clicking your account icon and going to “Creator Studio > Video Manager”. <img> Click the “Edit” dropdown arrow and select “Subtitles and CC”. The “Edit” button and its menu are located next to the video that you wish to add subtitles to. This will take you to the subtitling interface. <img> Click “Add New Subtitles” and select “Create new subtitles or closed captions”. This button is to the right of the video in the subtitling interface. A text area will appear next to the video for subtitle entry. <img> Select your subtitle language. This categorizes your subtitles for future viewing by youtubers from all over the world.\nNon-native speakers (and others, like the d/Deaf and hard of hearing, or those with audio processing disorder) may find English language subtitles on English language videos very helpful so don't be discouraged from subtitling in the original language of the video! <img> Play the video and pause when you want to enter a subtitle. Playback can be used to listen to the spoken line before entering the text into the text area. <img> Enter the subtitle text into the text area. Click the blue “+” button next to the text area to add the subtitle. The subtitle will appear on the transcript and in the timeline underneath the video. <img> Adjust the length of the subtitle. The subtitle will be placed in the timeline where you paused the video. Click and drag the bar on either side of the subtitle to change the starting and stopping points in which the subtitle displays.\nDon't add too much at once, make sure you have time to read the subtitles within the timespace. If not, you'd be better off splitting the subtitles so they don't all appear at once. <img> Publish the video. When you have completed your subtitling, press “Publish” and your subtitles will be uploaded to the video. <img> ",
"Open a text editor. Notepad for Windows users or TextEdit for Mac are good free options, but any text editor will do. <img> Create your subtitles. Subtitle files utilize a specific format: subtitle number, timestamp, and text - each occupying a different line. Timestamps use an hour:minute:second:millisecond format.\nFor example:101:15:05:00This is a sample subtitle text.\nThis example will place “This is a sample subtitle text” as the first subtitle at the 1 hour, 15 minute, and 5 second mark in the video. <img> Go to “File” and select “Save As…”. Here you can set the filetype using the the SubRip (or srt) extension (a common text format for subtitling videos). <img> Enter a filename ending in “.srt”. For example: ‘subtitles.srt’. The extension at the end of the name is required to set the filetype. <img> Click the “Save As Type” and select “All Files”. This menu is located below the filename field. Selecting “All Files” allows the extension to be something other than plaintext. <img> Click the “Encoding” menu and select “UTF-8”. SubRip files will not function properly without this encoding set. When that is complete, press “Save”. <img> Go to your YouTube “Video Manager”. Login to your YouTube account. Press “My Channel > Video Manager” to see a list of your video uploads.\nYou can also access the Video Manager by clicking your account icon and going to “Creator Studio > Video Manager”. <img> Click the “Edit” dropdown arrow and select “Subtitles and CC”. The “Edit” button and its menu is located next to the video that you wish to add subtitles to. This will take you to the subtitling interface. <img> Click “Add New Subtitles” and select “Upload a File”. A popup menu will appear to choose which kind of file to upload. <img> Select “Subtitle File” from the popup menu. This will open a window to select which file to upload. <img> Browse for the file you created and select “Upload”. The subtitles will be pulled from your .srt file and placed into the timeline and transcript. <img> Adjust your subtitles. Edit changes to the text in the transcript or alter timestamps by clicking and dragging the bar on either side a subtitle in the timeline. <img> Publish your video. Press “Publish” and your subtitles will be uploaded to your video. <img> ",
"Go to your YouTube “Video Manager”. Login to your YouTube account. Press “My Channel > Video Manager” to see a list of your video uploads.\nYou can also access the Video Manager by clicking your account icon and going to “Creator Studio > Video Manager”. <img> Click the “Edit” dropdown arrow and select “Subtitles and CC”. The “Edit” button and its menu is located next to the video that you wish to add subtitles to. This will take you to the subtitling interface. <img> Click “Add New Subtitles” and select “Transcribe and auto-sync”. A text area will appear next to the video for subtitle entry. <img> Select your subtitle language. <img> Transcribe the video to the text area. Type out everything spoken into the text area to the right of the video. You do not have to worry about the timings here. <img> Press “Set Timings”. YouTube will automatically sync what you wrote to timings in the video. <img> Adjust the timings. The auto-sync subtitles will appear in the timeline. Click and drag the bar on either side of the subtitle to adjust the subtitles for timing accuracy. <img> Publish the video. When you are ready, press “Publish” and the subtitles will be uploaded to the video. \nIf you want to make good videos, enhance the quality of the external microphone. Try to minimize the reverberation while recording.\nYou can record in a closet with some clothes to dampen the place or use a pop filter.\nYou should keep the mic at a suitable distance while recording. <img> "

How to Start a Paper | [

"sDE5EpMdCW7L",
"tBnzZqp54kCC"
] | [
"Think about the point of your paper. If you are covering research, there is a definite answer your research has provided. What was the question?\nThis can be as abstract or concrete as you see fit. It could be the direct questions your paper poses or it could be a question directly stated to the reader, asking them for their thoughts and opinions. <img> Write an outline of your paper. Just because you can't come up with an introduction doesn't mean you can't write a skeleton of what you want to say. Cover the main and supporting points; don't worry about detail.\nSpend at least 5 minutes outlining your paper.\nThis outline will help you realize what it is your paper says. That way, you'll be able to understand what questions you are asking and answering. <img> Come up with a short list of questions and choose one. Using your outline, come up with 2 or 3 questions that your paper touches upon. Seeing as your paper probably has at least 3 points, try to have one question per point.\nThink of what you are clarifying with your paper. If there is a standard point of view your paper is challenging, your could ask a question of the accepted definition of a word, concept, or societal norm.\nChoose the question that speaks strongest to your work as a whole. It'll be the one that's easiest to transition from into the bulk of your paper. <img> ",
"Write a rough draft of your work. It by no means has to be perfect -- it only has to outline what you want to say. Cover all the main points with supporting evidence, but don't worry about transitions now. Have a general idea of your purpose in mind.\nHaving a paper to work off of makes it much easier to see the overall arc of your work. Without it, all the information is just floating around in your head, unorganized.\nKeep in mind which points are strongest and which are weakest. If any just don't seem to fit right, throw them out now. <img> Find the connection between all your points. Before your paper, you had \"pollution is bad.\" An idea to start off with, but definitely not anything revelatory. Now, hopefully, you can narrow it down -- \"Consumption by the world's largest economies needs to be cut in half by 2020\" is much better.\nHow do all your points agree? What does their agreement say that you didn't necessarily set out to write? Does their agreement expose anything to strengthen your argument? <img> Start with your thesis. Now that you've found out what it is exactly you're writing about, go. Come out with it right out of the gate. Your introduction will be direct and to the point; you can deal with the details later.\nConsider the following example: \"The illusion of power drives men to do many things. It causes them to go mad, to destroy, and to distrust. In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov does all this in his quest to become an Übermensch and seize the power he believes he deserves.\" With this start, the reader knows exactly what to expect and how the author feels about the work. A solid thesis and a solid start to the paper. <img> ",
"Attain access to the internet. If you do not have a computer at home, go to your school/college library and schedule some time to use theirs. It'll be much easier to sift through quotes if you're on a desktop or laptop; a smaller device will limit the efficiency of your search. <img> Google quotes. A number of websites will pop up. Most of them will have categories for you to narrow down your search. Consider the themes of the piece you're analyzing as you skim for quotes. <img> Go through a few of the search result sites and find one you like. Then bookmark it for future use. BrainyQuote and GoodReads are two good sites to start from. You can search by category or by author. <img> Find a quote that captures the topic or feel of your paper. It only has to abstractly allude to the themes or timeframe of your work. If you can find one by the same author, great!\nHit Ctrl + F to search for specific words; you may be able to find a quote much quicker this way if you have something very precise in mind. <img> Copy the quote into your paper. Make sure you mention who said or wrote the quote originally; no plagiarism please! Start with the quote and lead into your analysis with how the two connect.\nAnalyze your quote for a second. Think of the main words in the quote to draw the connection to your paper. You do not need a long quote to get your point across.\nFor other ideas on writing compelling hooks, look at news headlines and see what grabs you. Do they start with questions? Do they share interesting facts? <img> "

How to Tell if Your Horse Needs Hock Injections | [
"8VwE2q0n3d5T",
"N2RjELJ6FciI"
] | [
"Check for behavioral signs of pain. Your horse may behave differently than they usually would if they're in pain. For example, a horse may become cranky when ridden, charge at jumps, refuse fences, or buck when they were previously mild-mannered.\nA change of character such as trying to bite an owner when grooming the back end, bucking, or general bad temper, can be a sign of pain.\nYour horse may also demonstrate pain during the tacking up process. <img> Consider whether or not your horse is working as hard as normal. Another common presentation is that the horse does not work to its full potential. It attempts to limit the discomfort by not exerting itself, which could mean it:\nDoesn't move as quickly or easily.\nDoesn't reach normal height when jumping. <img> Notice if your horse begins riding heavy on the forehand. This phrase means that your horse tries to take weight off its hind quarters and shifts its center of gravity forward. When it does this it places more weight on its front legs and moves in a more labored manner because it takes more effort to lift its front legs. \nWhen riding the horse have a friend stand parallel to it and video its movement. Look for the horse lowering its head to counterbalance the back end. Look to see if all the legs are taking equal length steps or if one leg is taking shorter strides than the others.\nWhen riding the horse have a friend stand a safe distance behind the horse and take a video. Look to see if the hips move up and down symmetrically. A horse with a sore back leg will try to protect that leg with the result that the hip moves less. <img> Take note if your horse is not engaging its back end. For fluid movement, the horse uses the power in its back end and bunches its hind legs beneath it to move forward. If the horse associates pushing off on its hind legs with pain it will be reluctant to do this, and will most likely move more slowly than normal.\nYou may be able to feel this easily when you are riding your horse. <img> Keep track of your horse's ability to jump. Jumping requires the horse to shift its weight backwards and place a considerable extra load on its hind legs. If soreness or pain is present, it may try to avoid this discomfort by not fully using its muscles to propel itself upward.\nYour horse may lose height early, which means it will knock against jumps it used to take with ease. For example, you may notice that your horse knocks down fences during jumps. <img> Note any challenges your horse has with landing after it jumps. Landing after a jump involves tucking the hind legs beneath the body. This provides spring to push the horse forward onto its next stride.\nWhen your horse has a painful hind leg, it may slip and land awkwardly. <img> Look at the way your horse stands. Hock pain or general hind end discomfort alters the way a horse stands. It tends to shift its weight to minimize stress on the sore leg. Some things you might notice include:\nResting one hind leg while standing.\nStanding with the sore leg tucked under its belly so that the hock is straight and the leg does not have any weight on it.\nStanding with one leg on a large mound of shavings to elevate it. <img> Assess whether your horse's gait has changed. Pain alters the way the horse moves, which is referred to as its \"gait.\" Hock and back end pain tends to make the horse \"mince\" or take shortened strides with its hind legs. It transfers weight onto his forelegs, which gives him a hunched silhouette with its hind quarters tucked under and head carriage low.\nBecause it hurts to flex the joint, the horse may not pick its leg up cleanly, and may have a tendency to stumble.\nA useful tip is to walk and trot the horse on sand so that you can trace its hoof prints. The sore leg tends to move towards the midline, rather than following the line of the matching front leg.\nIf your horse's hock is injured, it may have a hard time walking backwards in a straight line. This is because the sore leg takes shorter strides, so the horse naturally moves in a curve to the affected side. <img> Watch for symptoms of disuse atrophy. If you notice that there is a loss of muscle mass over the thigh and hip of the affected leg, your horse may have a problem with its hock. This loss of muscle mass is a result of \"disuse atrophy\", which means that the horse has been protecting that leg and underusing it. When muscles do not get used, they can begin to waste away. \nBe aware that disuse atrophy can arise because of pain anywhere in the limb and does not localize the discomfort to the hock. <img> Contact a veterinarian to further the assessment. If you're sure your horse has a mobility issue, it is a good idea to call the vet to give the horse a thorough check over. A veterinarian can perform tests to isolate the source of your horse's pain to the hock. They can do a thorough lameness exam including flexion tests, nerve blocks, and X-rays if needed.\nThe veterinarian will also look for other tell-tale signs of discomfort such as head bobbing, unusual foot placement, shortened strides, and weight shifts. <img> ",
"Look for signs of swelling. An injury to the hock, such as a sprain, causes the damaged tissues to release hormones such as histamine, prostaglandins, and bradykinin. These chemicals act on the blood vessels and make them leaky so that fluid pools in the area of the injury, causing swelling. This has a two-fold effect; the fluid helps isolate any harmful noxious substances from the general circulation, and the fluid is also rich in white cells to protect against infection.\nIf in doubt that the hock is swollen, compare one back leg with the other. Look to see if the areas that normally 'go in' are puffy and baggy. Sometimes feeling the normal hock and then feeling the other side, can help you detect a difference in how they feel. <img> Check to see if the hock is hot. The inflammation of the hock generates heat. Because of this, you should feel along the hock. If the area feels hotter than other surrounding parts of your horse, your horse may have sustained an injury in the hock.\nCheck the temperature of the injured hock compared to that of the hock on the other leg. <img> Ask your veterinarian to perform a flexion test. To perform this test, your horse's veterinarian will flex the hock joint and hold it in that position for about 1 minute. Then, they will release the joint and observe your horse's movement to see if their gait is different than before the test.\nDo not attempt to perform a flexion test yourself. Only a trained veterinarian should do this. <img> Have a vet perform a regional nerve block test. The idea behind this test is that if the pain in the hock is temporarily removed a previously lame horse should become sound. Only a veterinarian can safely perform this test, so do not attempt to do it yourself. During the test:\nThe veterinarian first sterilizes the skin with surgical scrub, where the needle is to be inserted. A 1.5-inch needle, 20 or 22 gauge is used to inject about 1 ml of local anesthetic just below the skin along the path of the cutaneous branch of the superficial and deep fibular nerve.\nAfter the local anesthetic is injected the flexion test is best performed within 15 minutes, because the local anesthetic can spread to the lower limb making the foot numb which can also alter gait.\nIf the lower limb becomes overly numb the horse may drag the leg and scuff the back of the hoof. If this happens the veterinarian will bandage the lower limb to reduce the chance of abrasions. <img> Consider getting a radiography exam done. If a flexion test and regional nerve block point to hock pain, then radiography is sometimes undertaken. Radiography is useful for detecting fractures, bony change (which occurs with arthritis), bone infections, bone cancer, and swelling of the joint capsule.\nTo take the radiographs the vet will work with the horse in a standing position and use a portable x-ray machine. There are typically two images taken: an exposure at lateral view taken from the side (facing towards the horse), and an anterior-posterior view taken from in front of the hock joint facing towards the horse's tail.\nIt is possible for x-rays to come back normal and yet there still be pain in the joint. This is because x-rays show bone damage, rather than inflammation of the joint lining. If the x-rays are clear but the hock is painful, this is a strong indication for giving a hock injections.\nMany veterinarians want to rule out chip fractures before giving hock injections, because the steroid could delay bone healing if this is the underlying reason for the lameness. <img> "

"Copy and paste an address from the address bar. If you want to share or save a website you're visiting, you can copy the address from the address bar of your browser:\nClick the address in your browser. This may reveal the entire address if parts were hidden while browsing.\nSelect the entire address if it isn't already. Usually, the address will automatically be selected when you click it. If it isn't, press Ctrl/⌘ Cmd+A to select the entire thing.\nCopy the selected address by right-clicking the selection and clicking \"Copy,\" or by pressing Ctrl/⌘ Cmd+C.\nPlace your cursor where you want to paste the link and press Ctrl/⌘ Cmd+V. <img> Find the link you want to copy. You can copy links from websites, emails, Word documents, and pretty much any other program.\nText links in web pages and emails are often underlined and a different color than the surrounding text. Many links are buttons and pictures. <img> Right-click the link. If the link is a picture, right-clicking the picture will provide the Copy option.\nIf you're on a Mac with a single mouse button, hold Ctrl and click to open the right-click menu. <img> Select the \"Copy link\" option. When a link is copied, it is sent to your clipboard to be pasted elsewhere. The clipboard can only store a single link at a time. The wording of this option will vary depending on what program you are using. Below are some common examples:\nChrome - \"Copy link address\"\nFirefox - \"Copy Link Location\"\nInternet Explorer - \"Copy shortcut\"\nSafari - \"Copy Link\"\nWord - \"Copy Hyperlink\" <img> Place your cursor where you want to paste the link. Once your link is copied, you can paste it anywhere you can type. Click to place your cursor wherever you want to paste the link.\nYou can paste the link anywhere you can type, including in emails, Word documents, your browser's address bar, Facebook chats, and more. <img> Paste the link. There are several ways you can paste your copied link:\nRight-click wherever your cursor is and select \"Paste.\"\nPress Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd+V (Mac).\nClick the Edit menu (if present) and select \"Paste.\" Not all programs have a visible Edit menu. <img> Paste the link as a hyperlink with different text. Some programs, such as blogs, email programs, and word processors, allow you to change the text that displays instead of showing the whole link address. This lets you create a link with a sentence or word:\nPlace your cursor where you want the hyperlink to go.\nClick the \"Insert Hyperlink\" button. This may be below the text form, or in the Insert menu (word processors). The button often has a chainlink icon.\nType what you want to appear in the \"Text to display\" field. This is what will appear as the clickable link.\nPaste the link in the \"Address,\" \"URL,\" or \"Link to\" field. Click in the field and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or ⌘ Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the copied link. <img> ",
"Find the link you want to copy. You can copy links from web browsers, emails, and many other apps. Links may be traditional text links or may be a picture.\nThe process for this is very similar regardless of what type of mobile device you're using (Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows mobile, etc.) <img> Press and hold the link you want to copy. Once you've found the link, press and hold it until a new menu appears. It may take a few moments for the menu to show up. <img> Tap the \"Copy\" option. The wording for this will vary depending on the app you are using. Look for wording similar to these examples:\nCopy\nCopy link address\nCopy link URL\nCopy address <img> Place your cursor where you want to paste the link. Once you've copied the link, you can paste it anywhere you can type. Tap the text field to place your cursor. <img> Press and hold your finger on your cursor. Release your finger after a moment. A new menu will appear.\nIf you're using an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), release your finger once the magnifier lens appears.\nIf you're using an Android device, release your finger when the indicator under the cursor appears. <img> Tap \"Paste\" to paste your copied link. You'll see the \"Paste\" option in the menu that appears. Tapping \"Paste\" will paste the copied address into the text field. <img> Copy and paste a link from a text message (Android). If you've received a text message with a link on your Android device, you may have to do a little more work to copy it, especially if there is other text with it. Not all Android messaging apps will function the same:\nPress and hold on the message that contains the link.\nTap the \"Copy\" button that appears. It may just be an icon of two pages stacked on each other at the top of the screen.\nPaste the copied text where you want to paste the link, and then manually delete any extra text that came with the original message. <img> ",
"Use a link shortener service when you need to text or tweet a link. Website addresses can get really long, especially for pages buried deep in a site. Link shortener services allow you to generate a short version of a long address that can easily be texted, tweeted, or otherwise shared. <img> Copy the link you want to share. Use the methods outlined above to copy the link you want to shorten and share. <img> Visit a link shortener website. There are several services available for shortening links, and most work very similarly:\nbit.ly\ngoo.gl\now.ly\ntinyurl.com <img> Paste your long link into the field on the shortener site. Click the field and press Ctrl/⌘ Cmd+V, or long-press and select \"Paste,\" to paste your long link into the field on the shortener site. <img> Tap or click the \"Shorten\" or \"Shrink\" button to generate a new link. You'll be presented with a short version of the link that uses the service's format instead of the original site's. <img> Copy the shortened link. You can copy like you would a regular link using the methods above, or tap or click the \"Copy\" button that some sites display. <img> Paste your shortened link. Now that your shortened link has been copied, you can paste it just like you would any other link. You may want to give some context for the link, since it won't be apparent what it's for by looking at the shortened address. <img> "

"Perform Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor. Kegel exercises can be done at home when you are sitting in a chair or lying down in bed. Make sure you go to the bathroom and empty your bladder before you do them. Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for 3 seconds. Pretend you are holding in your urine to activate these muscles. Then, release them for 3 seconds.\nTry to do this exercise at least once a day to keep your pelvic floor and vaginal area strong.\nWork up to doing 10-15 repetitions at a time.\nDo this exercise in every trimester of your pregnancy. <img> Do pelvic tilt stretches to help position your baby in a good spot for labor. Position yourself on your hands and knees, with your shoulders and hips in line with each other. Inhale as you press your stomach towards the floor, curving your lower back and raising your chin to the ceiling. Then, exhale as you press your back upward, pressing your stomach towards the ceiling and your chin towards the floor. Do these stretches 10 times, up to 3 times a day.\nPelvic tilt stretches are good to do during your third trimester, as this is when your baby is the most active. The stretches may help to move your baby into an ideal position for labor. <img> Try butterfly stretches to release your lower back and pelvis. These stretches will help to keep your lower back and pelvis relaxed, which can then make labor a bit easier. Sit on your bum and bend your knees to bring your feet together, with your toes touching. Your legs should form a diamond shape. Gently press down on your knees with your elbows or shift side to side.\nYou can also do this exercise lying down on your back. Make sure your lower back is flat on the ground as you bring your feet together to form a diamond shape.\nTry to do this exercise in every trimester of your pregnancy. <img> Do forward leaning inversions to relax your uterus and cervix. This exercise relaxes ligaments in your uterus and cervix, which may help your uterus align with your pelvis and cervix. This can create more room for the baby during labor. To do the exercise, kneel on the edge of your bed or your couch. Lower yourself onto your forearms, with your elbows splayed out and your hands flat on the floor. Let your head hang freely. Keep your bottom and hips up in the air. Move your hips side to side and keep your lower back flat.\nHold this exercise for 3-4 deep breaths and then lower back down onto your hands. Do this exercise 2-4 times, once a day.\nDo not perform this exercise if you are experiencing stomach cramps or have any pain in your stomach or back.\nBe careful when doing this exercise in your third trimester. You may need a spotter to ensure you can do it safely. <img> Do supported squats to strengthen your legs. Keep your leg muscles strong with supported squats so you can stay upright during labor, as being upright can make your labor less difficult. Stand with your back to a wall. Place an exercise ball between your lower back and the wall. Move your feet out until you are comfortable and point your toes outward. Inhale as you squat down as low as you can, keeping the exercise ball in place. Exhale as you come back to the starting position.\nDo 3 sets of 15 squats once a day to keep your legs strong.\nWhen you do this exercise in your third trimester, place a chair behind you for support. You can also ask a partner or friend or act as a spotter. <img> Go for daily walks to improve your blood circulation. Walking can help you stay active and balanced. It can also ensure you get your blood circulating and be good practice for when you have to walk or move around during the early stages of labor. Walk in a nearby park or in your neighborhood. Try to walk for at least 20-30 minutes a day. <img> Take a weekly prenatal exercise class to stay fit and relaxed. Look for a prenatal yoga class or a prenatal aerobics class at your local gym. Sign up for the class and attend it regularly so you can stay fit.\nCheck with your doctor before you take any strenuous prenatal fitness classes, as you do not want to overdo it or put your baby at risk. <img> ",
"Discuss your birth plan with your doctor several weeks before your due date. Your birth plan should outline who you want with you during your labor, such as your partner or your children. It should also discuss if you want to be mobile and walk around, especially during the early stages of your labor. Decide how you want to manage pain during labor and if you want to take medication. Your doctor should help you determine the key points in your birth plan.\nYou can also decide how you want the environment to be set up for the birth, such as lighting, music, or calming scents.\nIf you decide to do a home birth or use a birthing pool, note this in your birth plan. <img> Share the birth plan with your partner so you both know what to expect. Let your partner know the details of your birth plan, especially if you want them to be in the room with you during your labor. Allow them to add things to the birth plan and get their feedback so they feel they are part of the process. They can then support your wishes and make sure the labor goes as you’d like it to.\nYou can also share your birth plan with any family members or close friends who are involved in your pregnancy or labor. <img> Hire a doula as part of your birth plan. A doula is trained to support you during your pregnancy and your labor. They often act as labor coaches and can show you how to make your labor easier. Doulas can be expensive, charging per service or a flat-fee. But they have been shown to help make labor less difficult.\nYour insurance provider may not cover the cost of a doula. Find out if your doula offers a payment plan or a sliding scale of costs. You can also ask for donations towards hiring a doula at your baby shower. <img> Take a birthing class to learn more about labor and what to expect. Look for birthing classes at your local hospital or community center. Many family health clinics and centers will also offer birthing classes. Bring your partner with you to the class so they can get a sense of what to expect during your labor.\nBirthing classes that focus on breathing techniques, pushing techniques, and relaxation strategies during labor are good options.\nLook for birthing classes that discuss the Lamaze technique, the Bradley method, or the Alexander technique, as they focus on how to make labor easier.\nIf you cannot find a birthing class in your area, look for online tutorial and guides. <img> ",
"Stay home until your contractions are 3-5 minutes apart. Avoid rushing to the hospital once you start to feel contractions. Going to the hospital too early can make you more stressed out. Instead, stay home and time your contractions.\nDownload an App on your phone that times contractions for you so you do not have to do this yourself.\nIf you feel any sharp pains or you start to bleed from your vagina, go to the hospital right away.\nIf your water breaks while your contractions are still far apart, go to the hospital. Your baby may be at risk of infection. <img> Use a hot compress on your lower back or belly. Applying heat to sensitive areas can help make your labor less painful, especially in the early stages. Put a hot compress on your lower back or your stomach for 10 minutes at a time to reduce any pain or irritation in these areas.\nIf these areas are particularly sensitive, ask your partner to give you a massage. Massage can be a great way for you to stay calm and relaxed during labor. <img> Stay mobile and upright. Walking and pacing around can help the baby get into position for the birth. Move around in your home or go for a walk in your neighborhood. Go to the grocery store and walk around to distract yourself and stay mobile.\nYou can also sit on a large exercise ball and bounce around to stay active. <img> Drink lots of water and snack on wheat pasta, crackers, or dry toast. Stay hydrated by sipping water often during early labor. Aim for light snacks that are high in carbohydrates, like seed crackers and whole wheat pasta and bread. These carbs will give you energy for when your labor really gets going.\nAvoid eating heavy or greasy food, as this can cause stomach upset and make your labor more difficult. <img> Take a bath or shower to stay relaxed. Soak in a bath of warm water to help ease any soreness or pain. If the tub has jets, turn them on so you can get a relaxing massage while you soak. A warm shower, where you stand upright and lean against the shower wall, can also be good for easing pain and discomfort. <img> ",
"Bring an overnight bag with you. Once your contractions are 3-5 minutes apart, or once your water breaks, head to the hospital or to your birthing center. Bring a bag with light, loose clothing, a robe, thick socks, maternity bras, non-perishable snacks, and a full water bottle. You should also pack photo identification and your healthcare information so you have it on hand.\nPack the bag a few weeks before your due date so it is ready to go. Let your partner know where it is so they can bring it for you to the hospital or birthing center, as needed. <img> Check in with your doctor or midwife. Let your doctor or midwife know you are at the hospital or birthing center. The staff at the hospital or center will give you a hospital gown to put on and set you up in a room or area. The doctor or midwife will then check in on your regularly to see how your labor is progressing.\nIf you have a doula, let them know you are in full labor so they can be there to support you. <img> Do breathing exercises to reduce pain and stress. Start with slow breathing when your contractions become close together and more intense. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth, letting air out with a sigh. Keep your body limp and release any tension as you exhale.\nDo light accelerated breathing as your labor becomes more active. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, breathing in and out rapidly. Keep your breathing shallow and follow a breath pattern of one breath per second.\nWhen you start to feel overwhelmed or exhausted during labor, do \"pant-pant-blow\" or \"hee-hee-who\" breathing. Inhale quickly through your nose or mouth and let out a longer exhalation through your mouth. Make a \"who\" or \"puh\" sound as you exhale to release stress and tension. <img> Communicate with your doctor or midwife once it comes time to push. Change positions to find a comfortable one for you as you push during late-stage labor. Lean on your doctor, midwife, doula, or partner to support you as you push.\nConsider taking medication to help reduce the pain and keep you relaxed. Your doctor or midwife can discuss this option with you and offer it to you as you push during the final stages of labor. <img> "

How to Make a Gravel Driveway | [

"NdUYEQIiPWjI",
"CvJ6Dddrz9EZ"
] | [
"Decide where to put your driveway. Survey your yard and decide where your driveway should be. Also, decide if you want a parking area or a circular driveway. Remember that a larger driveway will be more expensive than a smaller one.\nWatch for any drainage issues in the area where the driveway will be. It is important to position your driveway so that the water will run off the sides and not pool in the middle of it. <img> Decide if you want to add a border for the driveway. You may delineate your driveway area with landscaping timber or bricks. This is optional. <img> Mark the new driveway area. You will need to mark off the area of your new driveway before starting the driveway project.\nPlace sticks or landscape stakes in the ground every 8 to 10 feet along the length of one side of the area that will be your driveway.\nPlace a second set of stakes at least 10 to 12 feet across from the first set of stakes to mark the width of the driveway. You may want to make the width 14 feet if your driveway curves. <img> Measure the area of the intended driveway. You will need to know the length and width of your entire driveway. If your driveway curves, you might want to measure in sections and add them together instead of trying to measure all at once. <img> Consider laying two to three layers of gravel. For a really stable driveway, experts recommend laying three separate layers of different sizes of stone. This will take extra money and planning, so you need to decide early if this is the type of driveway you want. <img> Determine how much of the work you can realistically do yourself. Laying a gravel driveway yourself, even if it is fairly short in length, will require time and physically intense labor. If you are physically unable to do heavy lifting and repetitive work (such as raking the gravel), you may need to hire someone to help you. <img> ",
"Calculate how much gravel you will need. To determine this, you need to multiply your driveway’s length (in feet), width (in feet), and depth (in feet), then divide by 27 to get the cubic yards of gravel.\nThe depth of the gravel can vary, but should be at least 4 to 6 inches. To determine this measurement in feet, divide the number of inches by 12 (for example, 6 inches is 0.5 feet).\nIf you plan to do two to three layers, each layer will need to be 4 to 6 inches thick, so you will to calculate each layer separately. <img> Order the gravel and schedule your deliveries. Call a local gravel company and tell them how much gravel you need and what size and type of gravel you prefer.\nAsk if the company has a website that you can use to choose gravel color, size, and shape.\nIf you are planning several layers, schedule each delivery separately, preferably a couple of days apart so that you can install each layer and let it settle before putting the next layer on top. <img> Find the hand tools that you will need. You will need a shovel, rigid metal rake, thick gardening gloves, and possibly a wheelbarrow. If you do not have these tools, consider borrowing them from a friend, buying them, or renting them from a home improvement store or tool rental company. <img> Rent large tools that you will need. Ideally, you will use a mechanical compactor to press the dirt and rocks. This would be very expensive to buy for one project, so try to rent it from home improvement store or tool rental company. <img> Hire someone with a backhoe or tractor. An alternative to obtaining your own tools is to hire someone who has a backhoe. They will be able to do the work much faster than you can do it by hand. <img> ",
"Dig out any grass and topsoil. Using a shovel or hiring someone with a backhoe, remove the top layers of grass and dirt from the marked-off driveway area.\nYou might want to use a tiller to loosen up the soil and make it easier to dig out.\nThe amount of soil you remove depends on how many layers of soil you are planning. You should dig 4-6 inches of soil for every layer of rocks you plan to put down. <img> Level the surface of the driveway. This doesn’t have to be perfect since it will be covered by rocks, but your driveway surface should be pretty level—any areas that are deeper than other areas may lead to water pooling and cause mud puddles that have to be filled in with more gravel later. <img> Compact the dirt. Use a mechanical compactor, have someone drive over the area with a bulldozer, or drive over the area repeatedly with a heavy vehicle such as a large truck. <img> Lay down a weed barrier. If you want to prevent grass and weeds from growing through your driveway, you may want to lay a weed barrier underneath your rocks.\nWeed barrier is a woven landscaping cloth that allows water to pass through it but does not allow weeds to grow through it, and it is available at most landscaping and home improvement stores.\nWeed barrier usually comes on a roll. You should be able to lay the roll down at one end of your driveway and unroll it until you have reached the other end of your driveway.\nMost weed barrier rolls are 4 feet wide, so you may need to get several rolls. Be sure the amount of weed barrier you buy matches or exceeds the square footage (length times width) of your driveway. <img> Place your border. If you are using landscaping timber or bricks to edge your driveway, you may want to place them before the gravel is delivered so that they can hold the rocks in place. If you do not want a border, you can skip this step. <img> ",
"Ask the gravel deliverers if they can help spread the rocks. Some trucks may only be able to dump the rocks in one big pile, but some trucks can let the rocks out a little at a time, spreading them across the span of your driveway, which will save you a lot of work. <img> Spread the rocks. Use a wheelbarrow to distribute the rocks evenly along the length of your driveway. Then use your shovel and hard metal rake to spread the rocks evenly across the width of your driveway. <img> Tamp down the rocks with the mechanical compactor. You can also try driving over the area repeatedly with a heavy vehicle such as a large truck. <img> Repeat the spreading and compacting process for each layer of gravel. If you only have one layer, you can move to the next step. <img> Grade the area. Your driveway should be slightly elevated in the middle and lower on the sides to promote water drainage.\nYou can achieve this by raking in from the sides towards the center so that the rocks are slightly piled higher in the center. You could also add some additional gravel down the center of your driveway and slowly scrape it towards the sides a little at a time.\nDon’t go too crazy with the grading; you don’t want your driveway to look like a pyramid. The ideal grade is very subtle, with the middle 2% to 5% higher than the sides. <img> Clean up your new driveway. Be sure to “finish” your project by cleaning up. Remove the landscape stakes and twine markers. Put away or return tools that were rented or borrowed, and be sure to pay or thank anyone who helped you with the project. <img> Maintain your driveway. When necessary, rake gravel that gets displaced back into your driveway. Also think about adding gravel every two to three years to any low or bare spots that emerge over time. <img> "

How to Make Homemade pH Paper Test Strips | [
"biZzOIUh5s5d",
"tzkk7gUDkPxv"
] | [
"Chop up some red cabbage. You'll need to chop about ¼ of a head of red cabbage and put it in a blender. You will extract chemicals from the cabbage to coat your pH paper. These chemicals are known as anthocyanins and are found in plants such as cabbage, roses, and berries. Anthocyanins are purple under neutral conditions (pH 7.0) but they change color when exposed to an acid (pH < 7.0) or a base (pH>7.0).\nThe same procedure can be followed using berries, roses, and other anthocyanin containing plants.\nThis does not work for green cabbage. The same anthocyanins are not present in green cabbage. <img> Add boiling water to your cabbage. You can boil the water on a stovetop or in the microwave, but either way you'll need about 500 mL of water. Pour the boiling water directly into the blender with the cabbage. This will help draw the needed chemicals out of the cabbage. <img> Turn on the blender. You need to blend the water and cabbage for best results. Keep the mixture blending until the water is dark purple. This color change indicates that you have successfully drawn the needed chemicals (anthocyanins) from the cabbage and dissolved them in the hot water. You should allow the contents of the blender to cool for at least ten minutes before proceeding. <img> Pour the mix through a strainer. You want to remove any pieces of cabbage from the indicator solution (colored water). Filter paper will work in place of a strainer, but may take more time. Once you have strained the indicator solution, you can throw away the cabbage pieces. <img> Add isopropyl alcohol to your indicator solution. Adding about 50 mL of isopropyl alcohol will protect your solution from bacterial growth. The alcohol may start to alter the color of your solution. If this happens, add vinegar until the solution goes back to dark purple.\nYou can substitute ethanol for isopropyl alcohol, if necessary or desired. <img> Pour the solution into a pan or bowl. You want a container with a wide enough opening to dip your paper. You should choose a container that is stain-resistant, as you are pouring dyes into it. Ceramic and glass are good options. <img> Soak your paper in the indicator solution. Make sure to push the paper all the way to the bottom. You want to cover all corners and edges of the paper. It is a good idea to use gloves for this step. <img> Allow your paper to air dry on a towel. Find a location that is free of acidic or basic vapors. The paper should be allowed to dry completely before proceeding. Ideally, you will leave it overnight. <img> Cut the paper into strips. This will allow you to test several different samples. You can cut the strips any size you would like, but generally the length and width of your index finger is fine. This will allow you to dip the strip into a sample without getting your fingers into the sample. <img> Use the strips to test the pH of different solutions. You can test household solutions such as orange juice, water, and milk. You can also mix up solutions for testing, e.g. mixing water and baking soda. This will give you a wide range of samples to test. <img> Store the strips in cool dry place. You should use an airtight container to store the strips until you use them. This will protect them from environmental contamination such as acidic or basic gases. It is also ideal not to leave them in direct sunlight, as this could result in bleaching over time. <img> ",
"Obtain dry litmus powder. Litmus is a compound that is derived from lichens, fungi that form symbiotic relationships with alga and/or cyanobacteria capable of photosynthesis. You can purchase litmus powder online or at a chemical supply store.\nIt is possible to make your own litmus powder if you are a competent chemist. However, the process is quite involved and includes adding several compounds such as lime and potash to ground lichens and allowing weeks for fermentation. <img> Dissolve the litmus into water. Make sure to stir the solution and heat if the powder is not dissolving well. The litmus powder needs to dissolve completely into the water. The resulting solution should be a violet-blue color. <img> Submerge white acid-free art paper in the litmus solution. Get all sides and corners of the paper wet with the solution. This will give you the most surface area on the test strip and provide the most accurate results. You do not need to leave the paper to “soak” as long as you ensure that it is coated thoroughly. <img> Allow your paper to dry. You should dry the paper in the open air, but be sure that you are not exposing it to acidic or basic vapors. These vapors could contaminate the strips and make the inaccurate. You should also be sure to store them in a dry, dark place to prevent contamination and bleaching. <img> Use the litmus paper to test for acidity. Blue litmus papers turn red in the presence of an acid. Keep in mind that they will not indicate how strong the acid is, or whether a solution is basic. No change means that the solution is either basic or neutral, but not acidic.\nYou can make red litmus paper (that turns blue when exposed to a base) by adding acid to the indicator solution before soaking your paper. <img> "

"Keep the frame and battery together if you’re riding the bike soon. If you plan on riding your bike in the next day or so, it’s not that big of a deal if you store the frame and battery together. If you leave the battery in, your ebike may drain it slightly while it’s off, but if your battery isn’t low it shouldn’t have a huge impact.\nIf you ride your bike regularly, you may need to take the battery out to charge it every 4 days or so. <img> Turn the power off once you’re done riding your bike. The power button on your ebike turns the computer on or off. Either press this button once or press the button and hold it down for 5 seconds to turn the computer off depending on your brand and model.\nMany electric bikes will shut off automatically after a few minutes if you aren’t actively pedaling. <img> Store your bike indoors in a cool, dry place. Keep your ebike out of the elements and store it inside whenever you can. While your frame will be fine if it’s a little cold or hot, you don’t want the temperature to fluctuate too much to preserve the battery. Any room will work so long as it isn’t going to too hot over the course of the night and there is low humidity.\nYou can leave your bike in a garage or shed overnight, but only if it’s cool out and it won’t get too hot during the day. Lithium batteries can be a fire risk, but every type of battery can short or lose its charge when it gets too hot.\nIf you’re short on space, a vertical wall rack in your basement or living room will work just fine.\nKeep the bike away from excess humidity, since moisture can cause the bike’s electrical components to corrode. Store it away from any vents or windows where there might be a lot of condensation or humidity. <img> ",
"Take the battery out of the bike if you won't ride it in the next few days. If you know you aren’t going to ride your bike soon, take the battery out to store it separately. If you use a key to unlock your battery, insert it into the keyhole on the side of the frame and turn it counterclockwise to release the battery. If you use a switch or some other system to unlock your battery, follow the instructions in your user manual to remove the battery.\nRemoving the battery will prevent corrosion buildup on the battery terminals when you aren’t riding it. <img> Leave the battery partially charged to prolong its lifespan. Check your bike’s instruction manual to find the recommended range for your battery when you’re storing it. Before you turn your bike off, check the battery level on your computer screen, gauge, or battery case. If it’s within the recommended range, you’re ready to store the battery. If it’s too low, charge your battery. If the charge is too high, ride it around the block a few times to drain the charge.\nThis will prolong the lifespan of the battery and keep it stable while you aren’t riding for a while.\nIt’s not the end of the world if you don’t get the battery under the recommended range if you’re going to ride it relatively soon. If you’re storing the bike for more than a month, you definitely want to ride it for a little before storing it, though. <img> Discharge the battery entirely if the manufacturer recommends it. Some batteries need to be entirely discharged if you’re storing them for more than 1 month. Read your bike’s instruction manual to see if you need the battery to be partially charged or entirely drained before storing it for a long period of time. <img> Set the battery indoors in a dry area where it stays 32–68 °F (0–20 °C). Generally speaking, the warmer your battery gets, the worse it will perform. The battery can even catch fire if it gets way too hot, especially if you have a lithium battery. Choose a location in your home where the battery will stay cool and dry. A moisture-free basement is a great choice, but you could also store it near an air conditioner, vent, or fan to keep it cool so long as there isn’t a ton of humidity.\nIf you have a lead-acid battery, the refrigerator is actually the most ideal place for it. These batteries perform a lot better when they’re kept cold, but not freezing.\nNever cover your battery and charger when you aren’t using them. If you put a rag over the battery, for instance, it may warm up a little and lose its charge. It could also be a fire hazard if your battery gets super hot. <img> Plug in your battery on a concrete floor if it’s getting low. If your battery needs to be charged, set it on a concrete floor and plug it into the charger. Only use the charger that came with your bike to ensure the battery stays safe while it charges. Continue charging your battery until it’s over 30%. If you’re going on a long ride in the near future, let it reach the recommended charge before taking it off of the charger.\nWhile your battery is unlikely to catch fire, it’s best to charge it on concrete surface just to be safe. Do not leave your battery unattended while it charges.\nYou don’t need to charge the battery after every ride. A full battery will typically last 20–40 miles (32–64 km), so you may only need to charge it once a month depending on how often and how far you ride your bike.\nNever overcharge your battery. If you do charge it up to 100% for a long bike ride, unplug the charger as soon as your battery is topped off. Over-charging an ebike battery will drain the lifespan. <img> Charge lead-acid and NIMH batteries a charge at least once every 3 months. If you have a lead-acid or nickel-metal hydride (NIMH) battery and you aren’t riding your bike anytime soon, plug it into the charger once every month or two while you aren’t using the bike. These batteries tend to discharge quickly when they aren’t being used, so recharge them periodically to prolong the battery’s lifespan.\nJust as a reminder, you can store lead-acid batteries in the refrigerator to keep them cool.\nNIMH batteries aren’t especially common today, but they’re pretty similar to lead-acid. They tend to last a little longer than lead-acid, but you can’t store them in the fridge.\nLead-acid batteries are generally considered the weakest option when it comes to long-lasting and consistent ebike performance. If you’re ever in the market for a new ebike, try to avoid lead-acid batteries. <img> Give lithium batteries a charge at least once every 6 months. Lithium batteries last a lot longer than lead-acid or NIMH batteries. However, they still need to be charged if you aren’t riding the bike anytime soon. Once every 6 months or so, plug your battery into the charger for a few hours before putting it back into storage.\nLithium batteries can be a fire risk if they get too hot, so do your best to keep these batteries cool. Never charge these batteries in an area where you can’t supervise them. If you can, keep them in a fireproof bag in a cool room. <img> ",
"Use a wall rack to store your ebike inside if you ride it regularly. Wall racks are a great option for e-bikes since you can keep your ebike inside without taking up floor space. Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall for your rack and drill holes into the wall to install your anchors. Then, install the base of the rack into the wall and hang your hooks on the base. Let your bike hang on top of the hooks to store it on your wall.\nThe other upside here is that you can install the rack near your door so that you can grab the ebike right before you leave and hang it up as soon as you get home. <img> Install a multi-hook system to hang multiple bikes in a tight space. Multi-hook systems let you hang multiple bikes in one location on your wall. This is a great option if you own several ebikes or you have a regular bike in addition to your ebike. Each multi-hook system is installed differently, but you typically drill a steel bar into a section of studs and then hang hooks on the bar’s railing. Then, you clip the front tires to the hooks and let your bikes hang vertically.\nYou can use any spare hooks to hang a spare tire, coat, or messenger bag. <img> Go for a freestanding rack if you want to avoid drilling into the walls. Freestanding racks are a great option if you live in an apartment and you don’t want to risk that security deposit. Look online or go to a bike shop and purchase a freestanding rack. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble the rack and set it down in a convenient corner of your home. Hang your bike on the rack to keep it out of the way.\nSome freestanding racks have 2 sets of hooks to hang 2 bikes together. <img> Keep the ebike in a basement or bike room to keep it out of sight. If you have a basement or a storage unit in your apartment building, this can be the easiest option. Just set your ebike on its kickstand or lean it against the wall. If there’s a bike rack, lock it to the rack. Just keep in mind that you shouldn’t leave the battery in the bike if you’re going to store it in a basement or storage unit if you aren’t riding it soon.\nEbikes need to stay dry and cool. If your basement is especially humid or it tends to get hot in the summer, this isn’t a safe location for your investment.\nSome apartment buildings have a dedicated bike room. If you live in a large apartment building, ask your landlord if they have a good spot for your bike. <img> "

] | [
"Read Western (American) comic pages page from left to right, top to bottom. Start with the panel on the top, leftmost area of the page. Read each dialogue bubble from left to right, starting with the leftmost panel and moving your eyes to any dialogue featured on the bottom or right of the panel. <img> Move to the next panel as you reach the right side of the first panel. Most comic pages have two or three panels on the top row of the page. Repeat the way you’ve read the first panel on all subsequent panels. <img> Read panels that are stacked on top of each other together. The panels are arranged in this way because they are meant to show two connected actions or pieces of dialogue. These panels will usually arranged differently from the other panels on the page, and will always interact with one another. They may slant to show dynamic action, or share a speech bubble or two. Start with whichever panel is on top, then read the panel just under it. <img> Read manga (Japanese comics) from right to left. Japanese books are read in reverse order from American books. They are still read top to bottom, but progress from the right to the left and from back to front. Read both the panels and the dialogue from right to left, and the entire book from the back to the front. <img> Pay attention to dialogue bubble shapes. Differently shaped dialogue bubbles indicate different forms of dialogue.\nSpeech bubbles are circular, with a tail pointing to whichever character is speaking. This means a character is talking aloud.\nJagged bubbles and/or enlarged, bold text can indicate that a character is shouting.\nThought bubbles look like puffy clouds, and have a trail of dots pointing toward the character’s head. This means the character is thinking to themselves.\nNarration panels are square or rectangular blocks. This means the “narrator” is talking, telling you what is going on in a scene and revealing information the characters do not know. <img> ",
"Figure out what kinds of stories interest you. There are all kinds of comic stories besides the usual superhero narrative, so you can approach picking out a comic like you would any other book. If you like romantic stories, there are comics under that genre. If action is more your thing, there are tons of comics that fulfill that want. Pick a genre and start exploring what comics fit the bill. <img> Pick the work of a specific writer. There are just as many comic book writers out there as there are comic book stories. You’ve probably heard about several popular writers as you’ve researched different comics. If the story arcs or subject matter they’ve written interest you, check out the rest of their library. <img> Select a story that features a character you like. Some of the most famous characters, such as Spiderman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Ms. Marvel, come from comic books. Start off with a character that interests you and explore the different stories they’ve starred in. Pick a comic to read based on whichever part of a character’s story interests you the most. <img> Start with the comics that inspired your favorite movies. Many popular comics have been converted into popular movies, such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the Avengers series. If you love these movies, there’s a good chance you’ll love the comics they’re sourced from. Checking out these comics first can be a good launching point into getting into other comics. <img> Research the stories you’re interested in. Once you’ve figured out what you’d like to read, you may want to investigate the timeline of their stories. Many comics have been in print for decades, meaning there’s more story than you can expect to get through right away. Read up on what’s happened up to modern issues of the comic you’re interested in, and use any events that catch your attention as a launching point of where to start reading.\nYou can start researching comics and their characters by checking out online databases and encyclopedias devoted to specific publishers, series, or characters. Some great places to begin researching include https://www.comics.org/, http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/DC_Comics_Database, and http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Marvel_Database.\nYou can also obtain comic reference books from a library or bookstore. Several authors have written about the histories of comic publishers, series, and characters. <img> Check out different reading lists. If you’re interested in a certain character or publishing company but still can’t figure out where to start, you can always turn to reading lists. You can find most reading lists online; they’re typically written by hardcore fans and aficionados. Most reading lists will recommend where to start with a series based on major events in that character’s storyline.\nTo find reading lists online, run a Google search for “DC reading list,” “Marvel reading list,” or “Spiderman reading list.” You can substitute the first word of the search term with whatever publisher or character you want to read. <img> Learn the terminology for comics. There are many different terms for the way comics are printed. Knowing what they mean will make it easier to know what you’re looking for.\n“Graphic novels” and “trade paperbacks” are multiple issues of one comic gathered into one book. They separate the storyline into larger chunks for you to read all at once.\nAn “omnibus” is like a graphic novel or trade graphic book, except it bundles an entire storyline into one large book. These are great finds, but are generally much more expensive. Save this kind of purchase for stories you really like!\n“Issues” are small chapters of a storyline. They are usually released once every month. This is the most common way comics are published. <img> ",
"Browse comic shops regularly to buy physical comic books. Comic shops are constantly adding new books to their inventory, and will have plenty of books to peruse while you decide what to read. Physical comics have the advantage of always being readable, even when your Internet is down. They also make it easier to display and show off your collection as it grows. Make sure you have adequate shelving or other storage space (boxes and/or bins) before you start collecting physical comics. <img> Purchase digital comics for a convenient way to store your collection. Digital comics are easier to store, since they can all be found in one place. They are ideal if you don’t have a lot of space to keep physical comics, or just want to keep your collection organized as easily as possible.\nConsider buying digital copies of comics to read, then buying print editions of your favorite stories to give the creators extra support.\nYou don’t have to choose one or the other. Plenty of comic fans have both digital and print copies of their favorite comics. Several printed comics also give digital copies of the same issues to buyers at no extra charge. <img> Decide how you’ll store your comics. Comics are collectible items. While you buy them to read them, you want to preserve them so you can keep reading them years down the road. Keep them on shelves like you would normal books, but tuck them into special sleeves to keep them from yellowing. They will be made from plastic, and can be opened and closed with tape.\nSome comics come with special collector’s boxes, which are great for protection and will look amazing on your shelves!\nYou won’t have this problem with digital comics, naturally—though you may want to back them up on separate cloud storage (like Dropbox or Google Drive), just in case something happens to your device or current cloud service. <img> Obtain a few comic books for free. The comic book world loves to indulge fans with free issues! Take advantage of these giveaways to start reading your first comic and build your new collection. Google to learn when the next Free Comic Book Day will be at a comic shop near you and plan to take a trip there to find a comic you’ll love.\nComixology is an online comic store with a large selection of free comic issues to choose from. Visit https://www.comixology.com/free-comics to browse around.\nBorrow your comics from the library or a friend. Many libraries feature full sections stocked just with comics for you to read for free. Alternatively, if you have a friend who reads comics, ask if you can read from their collection. <img> ",
"Start with whatever story you want. Don’t worry about having to read comics in a specific order; it’s not necessary. You won’t miss too much by starting off at a place in a storyline that interests you. If need be, you can brush up on parts you aren’t sure about through Google or Wikipedia. <img> Pick one story or series to start reading. The world of comics is big and wide. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself just as you’re starting out! Read just one series that really catches your eye first. Once you finish with it (or hit the final issue until the next is published), you can start on another series or storyline. <img> Branch out into new stories. Take it slowly at first. If you like one story, look around for other comics featuring the same character, written by the same author, or released by the same publisher. Over time, you may find yourself enjoying stories you never considered reading before! <img> "

How to Sell a Motorcycle | [

"XAnzP4DDFyuS",
"Y49d2hierlmN"
] | [
"Clean the bike thoroughly. To get the most money for the motorcycle, you should clean and detail it before showing it to potential buyers. Clean the chain, engine, wheels, and body of the bike, including the seat. Remove scuff and boot marks, and polish up any chrome pieces to really make the bike shine. <img> Inspect the bike and make replacements, if necessary. While you’re cleaning the motorcycle, take note of any damage, dents, or scratches on it. Look for leaks or other issues the motorcycle may have. Get rid of any corrosion on the battery terminals, and touch up the paint, if necessary. To get the best price, you should replace any visibly worn or broken parts. <img> Figure out what price similar bikes are appraised for. Check the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) website, the Kelley Blue Book (KBB) website, and the Auto Traders website to get an idea of what similar bikes sell for. You can also view ads for similar bikes on classified sites to help you determine a price. Determine the average price for a similar bike from the information on these sites. <img> Determine a firm selling price. Consider the average selling price of a bike like yours, how much money you put into the bike, and if there is any existing damage or maintenance required. These things can help you decide what’s the lowest amount you’ll accept for the motorcycle. Keep in mind that aftermarket parts and modifications don’t increase the value of the bike dollar to dollar—expect to lose money on mods. <img> List the bike for a few hundred dollars more than your firm price. To give you room to negotiate with potential buyers, list the bike for a little more than you’re willing to accept. Add a few hundred dollars to the total in order to give yourself some wiggle room. Even if the asking price is fair, some people won’t buy a bike if you refuse to come down from the initial price.\nFor example, if your firm price is $1,500, list the bike for $1,800 and let potential buyers talk you down. <img> ",
"Compile information for the ads. In each ad or post, be sure to include the year, make, model, and mileage of the motorcycle. List the price and which methods of payment you will accept—cash is best, but you may agree to take a cashier’s check as well. Don’t forget to provide your contact information, too!\nNote if there are any aftermarket parts or accessories on the motorcycle.\nDescribe the motorcycle honestly and be upfront about any issues it may have. <img> Take several photos of the bike. Provide potential buyers with photos of the bike from various angles, such as each side, the front and back, and close-ups of the cluster and gauges. Be sure the photos aren’t too dark or washed-out and that the images are crisp and clear. If there’s any damage to the bike, include pictures of it so buyers have a realistic idea of what you’re offering. <img> List the bike online if you want to sell it yourself. Advertise the bike using sites like Craigslist and eBay in addition to motorcycle-specific sites, like https://www.cycletrader.com. You can also use social media, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to spread the word. Ask your friends and family to share your posts to expand the audience that sees your ad. <img> Place ads in the newspaper or tack up fliers to find buyers. Though it may seem like an old-school route to take, many people have found that newspaper ads and paper fliers have helped them sell their bikes. Check to see if your region has a motorcycle magazine or newspaper that you can place an ad in. It’s also a good idea to make fliers and post them on bulletin boards around town, especially at parts stores and popular motorcycle meetup spots. <img> See if a dealer will take the bike on consignment to reduce the hassle. Many motorcycle dealers will sell used bikes on consignment. Visit several motorcycle dealers in your area to determine if they offer this service. Compare the percentage the dealer takes to determine which shop will give you the most money on the sale. Once you choose a dealer, get the consignment agreement in writing.\nEnsure the dealer has insurance to cover the bike in the event of damage or theft. <img> ",
"Vet potential buyers. People who email, call, or text you asking questions that are already in the ad are likely not very serious buyers. Look for buyers who ask specific questions and seem to have a basic knowledge of motorcycles. Ensure they have cash to offer before agreeing to let them look at the bike.\nBeware of scams, such as people who want you to ship or deliver the bike without first paying for it. <img> Make time to meet with potential buyers. Arrange to meet potential buyers at a time that works with their schedule, which may mean rearranging your own plans. It’s a good idea to meet potential buyers in a public place, like a supermarket, rather than at your home. Choose a spot within walking distance of your home or office, or ask a friend to come along with their car, in case you make a sale. <img> Allow buyers to test-ride the bike, if desired. Some buyers will want to ride the bike in addition to inspecting it before they make a purchase. It’s your decision whether or not to let them, but if you agree, you’ll need to make sure they have a motorcycle license or endorsement first. They also need to wear a motorcycle helmet that’s been approved by the Department of Transportation, if you’re in the U.S.\nIt’s a good idea to ask test-riders for collateral—holding onto a copy of their license and the amount of cash you’re asking for the bike is advised. <img> Accept the best offer. When someone shows up to look at the bike and has the right amount of cash on hand, you can finalize the deal. Be sure to shake on it and write up a bill of sale that includes the new owner’s name and contact information. Remove the license plate and keep the registration card for the bike. Provide the new owner with the keys, the title to the motorcycle, and any other pertinent documents (like the manual or maintenance records).\nBe sure to let the buyer know that the deal is final, and you aren’t responsible for any issues that may arise in the future. <img> "

How to Put on a Bikini | [
"XQBYYpSyliIb",
"380pBw5O2IU5"
] | [
"Get undressed from head to toe. Bikinis are meant to bare a lot of skin, so go ahead and get undressed. Remove your bra and underwear, too. Don't attempt to wear your bikini over underwear, since it will be nearly impossible to keep your underwear from peeking out when you're active at the beach or pool. <img> Pull on the bikini bottoms. Bikini bottoms usually provide the same amount of coverage as bikini-style underwear. The top edge of the bikini bottoms should sit along your hips, crossing over each hip bone below your belly button. In the back, they should hug your bottom tightly. Depending on the style you're wearing, they'll provide either full or partial cheek coverage.\nYour bikini bottoms should not sag or droop. If they feel loose, you need a smaller size.\nThey also shouldn't cut into your skin and cause bulging. If they do, try a size up. <img> Fasten the bikini top below your breasts. Put on the top as you would put on a bra, fastening the band around your chest first. It might help to put the top on backward so you can fasten the band in the front, then slide it around to position it correctly with the cups in the front.\nIf it's a string bikini, first tie a tight knot, then tie the ends in a bow. Tie it so that the bikini will stay in place, but not so tight that it cuts off your circulation.\nIf the band of your bikini top is loose enough to easily slip your hand through, either tie it tighter or go down a size. If it's so tight that you feel uncomfortable, go up a size. <img> Adjust the cups. Rest your breasts right in the center of each cup, to keep them securely in place there. Make sure the fabric of the cups completely covers your breasts; if they feel tight, or your breasts and bulging out from the sides, you might want to go up a size. If they feel loose, try a size lower or choose a padded top. Here are the different types of bikini tops, and how to fasten them properly:\nTriangle top: This style provides the least amount of support and coverage, and it works best for smaller breasts. Make sure your breasts are positioned in the centers of the triangles. If your top has sliding triangles, slide them over your breasts to make sure the fabric covers your breasts entirely.\nHalter top: This style provides a more support, making it a good choice for bigger breasts. Position your breasts in the center of each cup, and stretch the cups around your breasts for maximum coverage.\nBandeau top: This style is strapless, so make sure you choose the right size so that your top won't slide up or down. Adjust the top so that your breasts fit into the center of the cups. It should hug your chest quite firmly; if it sags or droops, you may need to go down a size or choose a different style top.\nUnderwire top: This style is similar to a bra, and fits much the same way. Position the underwires so that they sit right beneath your breasts, then lower your breasts into the cups. <img> Adjust the straps. It's important to adjust the straps so that they keep your bikini top secure and provide support for your breasts. You want the straps to be tight enough to hold your bikini top in place, but not so tight that they dig into your shoulders. Your bikini top should feel as comfortable as a bra. \nAdjust bra-style bikini straps just as you would regular bra straps. Use the plastic slides on the straps to loosen or tighten them.\nIf the straps are strings you need to tie, it might take a few tries before you're able to tie the knots just right. They should be tight enough to provide support for your breasts, but not so tight they cut into your shoulders. Tie the ends of the strings into bows.\nSome bikini tops are styled as halters, with two strings that are tied right at the nape of your neck. Again, make sure you tie the strings tight enough to support your breasts without being uncomfortable.\nIf you find that you aren't able to adjust the straps in a way that allows your breasts to be well-supported without causing pain in your shoulders or neck, you may need a different style top. Try a traditional bra-style top with an underwire for maximum support. <img> Take a walk around the room to check for slipping and discomfort. Try skipping and jumping, too. You're going to be having fun in the sun, and you don't want to have to worry about your breasts coming loose or your bikini bottoms slipping down. Make adjustments where necessary so you can wear your bikini confidently all day long. <img> ",
"Consider removing hair around your bikini line. It might help you feel more confident to know that no hairs will poke out from your bikini bottoms as you're laying out in the sun or swimming in your bikini. Trimming and shaving is a popular way to do it, since it's inexpensive and not painful. You can also consider waxing the area if you plan ahead.\nTo figure out what hair to remove, put on your bikini bottoms and check out the hair that pokes out around the edges. You want to remove enough hair so that your bottoms adequately cover everything that's left.\nSome people also like to remove leg and armpit hair to feel bikini ready. <img> Exfoliate your skin. Since wearing a bikini involves showing off your skin, you might want to baby it a little a day or two before it's time to hit the beach or pool. In the bath or shower, use a loofah or exfoliating scrub to exfoliate your arms, legs and everything in between. This will get rid of dry skin and give you a healthy glow.\nUse gentle circular motions to exfoliate your skin, rather than scrubbing too hard.\nDon't forget your back and other hard to reach areas. Use a scrub brush to get to the places you can't easily reach. <img> Use a rich moisturizer. After exfoliating, apply your favorite moisturizing lotion to protect your skin from drying out. Your skin will be soft and gleaming when it's time to put on your bikini. As an alternative to moisturizer, try coconut or olive oil to soften your skin. <img> Don't forget your sunscreen. Wearing a bikini means using a lot of sunscreen, since most of your body will be exposed to the sun's rays. Apply sunscreen with SPF 16 or higher five to ten minutes before going out into the sun, and reapply as necessary throughout the day. Wearing plenty of sunscreen will prevent you from ending up with a painful burn and provide protection against sun spots and skin cancer.\nTry waterproof sunscreen if you're going to be swimming. You'll still need to reapply it more than once throughout the day.\nIf you're trying to get a tan, you should still wear sunscreen. Sunscreen prevents you from getting burned, but it doesn't completely stop the sun from affecting your skin. It's much better to get a gradual tan than to get burned first. <img> Take along a coverup. You may not feel like being exposed to the sun and other elements the entire time you're at the beach or pool. Bring along a cute coverup you can throw over your bikini whenever you want. As a bonus, it will protect your skin from the sun, so you won't have to worry about slathering your entire body in sunscreen when you wear it. <img> "

How to Prevent Acne | [
"qadNnfBAscT5",
"Rg9W4V1QeB9I",
"DKEkLkI6J9Vd"
] | [
"Wash your face twice a day: once at night, and once during your morning routine. When you wash your face, wash it gently and with warm (but not hot) water. The heat will open your pores and make the cleaning process more effective. Make sure your water is not too hot, so you won't burn your skin.\nMake sure your cleanser is suited for your skin. Select a hypoallergenic or acne-formulated product. A highly perfumed, harsh soap will often make acne worse.\nIn America and some other countries, the following are excellent and usually widely available: Cetaphil, Dove Sensitive, Neutrogena brand cleansers, and Basis. However, there are many \"store brands\" that may be less expensive and about as good. If you can afford them, higher-end brands like Boscia, Fresh, and Murad are good.\nLook for a face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for even more acne-fighting benefits. <img> Use special care in selecting a cleanser if your skin is dry or oily. Both extremes need special care.\nToo much washing is sometimes as bad as not enough. Acne is not caused by dirty skin. Washing once in the morning, once at night, and if the face is very sweaty or to wash off make-up is plenty. Too much washing can irritate acne, actually making it worse.\nDry skin can benefit from a face wash or soap that is oil-based or contains a moisturizer.\nOily skin does not usually need extra moisturizer in its cleanser. However, be careful not to go extremely drying, either. If your face feels tight after washing, the cleanser may be too harsh. <img> Wash your hands before you wash your face. If your hands are oily and/or dirty to begin, you will not get the best results. Wash your hands before you wash your face for best results.\nDo not wash or scrub too hard. Some people prefer to wash their face with a washcloth but this can potentially irritate your skin more, making it more prone to acne. Gently washing your face with your hands is the best way to go. <img> Moisturize after each face wash. Moisturizing your skin is just as important as washing it. When you wash your face, you strip it out of oils and moisture, causing your skin to produce more oil and sebum to compensate for the dryness. Your skin needs moisture. Help it replenish that moisture by moisturizing after each wash. <img> Choose the right moisturizer. Depending on your skin type, you may want to choose a different moisturizer. The following are general guidelines, but everyone's skin is different, and you should feel free to experiment and find what works for you:\nOily skin: Choose a gel-based moisturizer. Gel-based moisturizers are usually better for oily skin, as they provide essential moisture without overdoing it.\nDry skin: Choose a cream-based moisturizer. Cream-based moisturizers are heavier and longer-lasting than gel-based ones. Doctors usually recommend these for skin that needs something a little more heavy-duty.\nYou can also find moisturizers designed specifically for people with acne-prone skin. <img> Exfoliate your skin gently twice a day. Exfoliating means gently massaging and wiping off the outer layer of the skin (called the epidermis) in order to help slough off dead skin and unclog pores. See if exfoliating twice a day improves the complexion of your skin. You can buy a commercial exfoliating product, or you can make one on your own.\nFor some people with acne, rough physical exfoliation (e.g., with a scrub) can make the problem worse. Chemical exfoliants can be gentler on the skin, and some of them can be used daily (generally overnight). AHAs are chemical exfoliants that slough off dead skin, while BHAs clean out your pores. You can use one or both. <img> Remove all traces of makeup before going to bed. Avoid going to sleep with makeup on. If you wear makeup, get into the habit of removing it before you go to bed. Make-up that stays on your face can clog pores, leading to acne. If you wear makeup make sure you get an oil-free foundation of any other makeups If you don't have oil free or can't get some use face powder. Face powder will soak up all the oils from your makeup or face If you know you're prone to leaving makeup on and you don't want to go through the hassle of washing your face, invest in some skin-cleaning wipes that you can use in a pinch.\nAlso be sure to wash off other cosmetics, such as sunscreen.\nRemember to wash your face after taking your makeup off. <img> Try not to touch your face with your hands. Your hands are breeding grounds for bacteria because we use them to touch so many things. Touching your face is a big no-no because it cuts down on bacteria transmission. The less bacteria on your face, the lower your chances that you'll develop nasty breakouts. <img> Similarly, avoid sharing daily things and tools with siblings who have acne. These include: towels, make-up brushes or kits, hair bands, etc. <img> Wash your pillowcases frequently. The oils on your pillowcases can cause acne by spreading dirt, grime, and dead skin. At the least, do it weekly, but you can do it every day if you find this tip makes a big difference. Consider having two pairs of pillowcases that you can switch out at the end of each week so that you avoid doing laundry constantly.\nTry to avoid detergents with fragrances and dryer sheets. Both can trigger acne for some people. <img> Pay attention to your hair routine, especially if your skin is oily. How you treat your hair can have a big impact on acne, especially around your forehead. Your scalp releases natural oils to keep your hair lustrous. But too much oil in and around your scalp, while healthy for your hair, can be dangerous for your skin. For this reason, wash your hair at least every other day. Try to strike a good balance between healthy hair and healthy skin. <img> Watch out about applying too much product in your hair. Gels, mousses, and sprays can get into the pores of your skin, clog them, and create pimples. Be selective about how much product you put into your hair, especially if you have acne around your forehead. <img> Stay out of direct sunlight. Exposure to too much sunlight can be harmful to the skin. You probably already know that it can cause skin cancer, but did you know that it can exacerbate acne? When you go outside or expect to be in the sun for a long period of time, wear some noncomedogenic sunscreen to help block out harmful rays. Noncomedogenic just means that the sunscreen will not clog your pores. Wear a hat, too. Note that many acne topical treatments can make sun damage more likely. <img> ",
"Drink enough water to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated may help you maintain your clear skin. While there is conflicting scientific evidence supporting the claim that water helps clear toxins out of your body, most scientist agree that drinking water is net-beneficial to your skin instead of net-neutral or net-negative. You do not need to necessarily drink eight glasses of water per day, but drink enough to replenish what you might have lost in exercise, and drink when you are thirsty. <img> Eat healthy. Doctors are beginning to understand, after decades of inconclusive evidence, that diet does play a difference in whether you get acne and how severe it is. Eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruits, lean protein, whole wheat and grains, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids, for example) should help your body fight acne. At the same time, it will make you healthier and give you more energy. In addition to the foods listed above, try to get enough:\nVitamin A. Vitamin helps your body flush out acne-causing proteins and oil from the skin cycle. Take either 10,000 UI of vitamin A supplements, or eat foods that are high in vitamin A, which include fish oil, salmon, carrots, spinach, and broccoli.\nZinc. Some evidence suggests that people with acne don't have enough zinc in their systems. Scientists think that zinc creates an inhospitable environment for the acne-causing bacteria. Foods that are high in zinc include: turkey, wheat germ, oysters, pumpkin seeds, and peanuts.\nOmega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids promote healthy cell turnover and cut down on inflammation. Examples of omega-3 fatty acids include flax seed, salmon, sunflower seeds, and almonds. <img> Stay away from problem-creating foods and diets. Scientists believe that high-glycemic diets — chocolate, French fries, pizza, etc. — are linked to acne vulgaris. In addition to high-glycemic foods, milk might also be a major culprit in causing acne, doctors have found: <img> Milk and other dairy products are laden with hormones (testosterone or androgens), which can increase insulin levels, just like sugar and starchy (high-glycemic) foods do. Scientists are now unraveling the very real link between dairy and acne. You don't necessarily have to cut dairy out of your diet, but be careful about overindulging in dairy if you're worried about acne. <img> Stay away from excessive alcohol and smoking. These drugs aren't good for your complexion. Studies around the world have linked toxins like tobacco and alcohol to acne. If you are a regular smoker or drinker and worried about acne, consider cutting down on these habits if you're serious about seeing an uptick in overall health. <img> Exercise to reduce stress and prevent acne. Exercise is really helpful for avoiding acne because it lowers the amount of stress that your body goes through. Unfortunately, stress is a significant cause of acne, both in children and adults. Therefore, any way that you can remove stress from your life is a \"win\" for clear skin. Exercise is one of those ways. <img> To help cut down on stress, be sure to sleep enough. Studies have shown that not getting enough sleep can seriously increase the amount of stress a person goes through, sometimes up for 15% more stress for each hour of sleep lost beyond their normal allotment. Shoot to get between 9 and 10 hours if you're younger than 18 and between 7 and 8 hours if you're an adult. Additionally, sleep is when most of the body's healing, including skin repair, takes place. <img> ",
"Use benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide can be used to kill the bacteria that cause acne. Benzoyl peroxide comes in different concentrations, but studies show that benzoyl peroxide with a 2.5% concentration is just as effective as 5-10% solutions while being less irritating to the skin. Additionally, benzoyl peroxide helps peel away layers of dead skin on the epidermis, leaving brighter, more rejuvenated skin in its place. Lastly, benzoyl peroxide should be used selectively, and it's a good idea to put a towel over your pillow to avoid bleaching it, the material should preferably be made out of synthetic fabrics. <img> Use salicylic acid. Like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid kills bacteria responsible for pimple growth. It also causes skin cells to shed more rapidly, promoting the growth of new skin. Put small amounts of salicylic acid onto affected areas before you go asleep, after you have washed your face. <img> Consider using tea tree oil. While this is not specifically bottled for acne, it is a very effective home remedy. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can make the redness and size of pimples less noticeable. In one study, tea tree oil proved to be just as effective as benzoyl peroxide in reducing inflamed lesions of acne patients. Note also that tea tree oil took longer compared to benzoyl peroxide but showed fewer side effects.\nBecause tea tree oil is very strong, dilute it first in a little bit of water before applying to the skin with a Q-Tip or similar instrument. Too much tea tree oil may irritate skin. <img> If things get serious, consult your doctor. A dermatologist is trained to spot and treat skin disorders. The doctor may recommend a prescription containing clindamycin phosphate or benzoyl peroxide, both very popular acne deterrents. Prescription strength medicines are often much stronger than solutions you can buy over the counter. <img> Use manuka honey. Manuka honey is another natural remedy that many people find very effective for acne, while also being exceptionally gentle on skin compared to most other acne treatments. It has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps reduce and prevent scarring, and it helps soothe and hydrate the skin, too. You can use it as your face wash (but if you need to wash off makeup, you'll need to use an actual soap or cleanser first), as a mask, and/or as a spot treatment. <img> "

"BritBox is an online subscription service that provides access to past and present BBC and ITV programs. BritBox includes access to the first through the seventh Doctor. That's seasons 1-27, running from 1963-1989. It's not free, but it includes access to the most extensive Doctor Who archives out there.\nYou can watch BritBox on your computer at https://www.britbox.com, or by adding the BritBox app to your Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV Stick, or smart TV. You can also add BritBox as a channel on Amazon Prime.\nBritBox offers a 7-day free trial but is a paid service thereafter.\nIf you are overwhelmed by the amount of Doctor Who content available, let us help you determine where to start. <img> ",
"Visit your local library to borrow classic Doctor Who for free. Many libraries own DVD collections of TV shows and movies. Visit the DVD & Blu-Ray section of your library to see if they have any of the classic Doctor Who box sets.\nCheck your library’s online catalog before visiting.\nAsk a librarian for assistance or if the library might consider ordering additional box sets. <img> Consider which box sets you want to find. The BBC has put out some excellent box sets, many of which feature pivotal episodes of Doctor Who:\n\nDavros box set. This is a great introductory box set that features five storylines with four different Doctors.\n\nThe Beginning box set. This collections features three episodes from the first Doctor.\nThis set also includes a condensed 30-minute version of one of the show's lost episodes.\n\nTomb of the Cybermen. Though this is a “single” storyline spanning four episodes, it is a great story featuring the second Doctor.\n\nNew Beginnings box set. This collection features the last two stories from the third Doctor. <img> ",
"Search for \"Watch classic Doctor Who online free\" in Google. Many third-party sites stream old episodes of Doctor Who. To find a particular episode, include it in your search. These websites stay online by not hosting the physical video on their site. Instead they contain links to other websites that host the video.\nSome of these sites may not be entirely legal, so consider using a VPN when streaming.\nThe specific URLs for these sites are constantly changing to avoid getting taken down, so you may need to conduct a Google search again even after finding an appropriate site. <img> ",
"Visit a torrent tracker website. Torrents are a great way to find and download classic Doctor Who episodes for free. Just be sure to use a VPN and turn on your antivirus software when torrenting.\nMake sure you have a torrenting client before continuing.\nPopular torrent sites include The Pirate Bay and 1337x. <img> Search for classic Doctor Who. Use the website's search bar to look up \"classic Doctor Who\". You will likely get many results, so be sure to review each option before downloading it.\nOptions may range from entire seasons to individual episodes. Include additional keywords if you are looking for a specific episode. <img> Click the magnet icon next to your desired download. This will send the download to your torrenting client.\nWhen selecting a torrent file, consider the amount of seeders and leechers as well. The more seeders a file has, the faster it will download. <img> Wait for the file to download. If you chose a file with a lot of seeders, it should download rather quickly.\nWhen the file has downloaded, do not delete it from your torrenting client. Leaving it in there allows you to \"seed\" the file for future Doctor Who fans! <img> Enjoy classic Doctor Who. Open your downloaded file. It may be a collection of various files, but you only need the video file within. <img> ",
"Visit BBC America on your television. BBC America offers American cable users all kinds of British programming each day. Check your local listings to see if BBC America is playing classic Doctor Who episodes anytime soon.\nOn many cable boxes, you may also search for \"Doctor Who\" and find all channels where it might be playing. <img> ",
"Visit Amazon or eBay. Many online marketplaces will have cheap deals on box sets and DVD collections of classic Doctor Who. Amazon and eBay may be your best bet. <img> Purchase the DVDs. Be sure to do your research so you know you are paying a fair price for the DVDs.\nBecause these DVDs are rather old (and sometimes rare), they may be sold as collector's items, making them more expensive. Still, deals are out there if you are willing to look!\nIf you are interested in building a collection of classic Doctor Who content, this is the quickest and most effective way to do so! <img> ",
"HBO Max may not have access to the truly classic seasons of Doctor Who, but you can watch 13 seasons of the 2005 revival. If you are a new fan who is yet to see some of these \"older\" seasons, you can find them on HBO Max.\nYou can watch HBO Max on a computer at https://www.hbomax.com, using the HBO Max app on your phone or tablet, or by adding the app to your smart TV or streaming device.\nHBO Max is also the streaming home of all future seasons of Doctor Who. <img> ",
"Open YouTube. The BBC and its fans have created several reconstructions of the show's 97 lost episodes. These range from animations to slideshows to reenactments. You can find most of them on YouTube. <img> Search for \"Doctor Who reconstruction\". This will yield thousands of results. The reconstructions posted by the BBC are likely to be the best quality, but feel free to comb through all the reconstructions out there.\nIf you find these reconstructions too tedious but don't want to miss out on the plot, try reading through a detailed synopsis of the story instead, such as the ones provided on the fan wiki. <img> ",
"Decide if you want to watch classic Doctor Who. Doctor Who was very different from 1963 to 1989 than it is today. New series fans have scrutinized it for its dated visual effects and low production values. Take all this into account when you're deciding. Also remember that classic Who also ran in a serialized format, with stories ranging anywhere from 1 to 12 episodes to complete one story arc. <img> Pick a good starting point. There were eight classic Doctors so you have some options. Here is a list of good starting points and the year in which they were broadcast:\n\nAn Unearthly Child (1963)\n\nThe War Games (1969)\n\nSpearhead from Space (1970)\n\nTerror of the Autons (1971)\n\nThe Three Doctors (1972-73)\n\nThe Time Warrior (1973-74)\n\nThe Ribos Operation (1978)\n\nThe Keeper of Traken (1981)\n\nKinda (1982)\n\nThe Five Doctors (1983) <img> Follow trends you enjoy. There is no reason to watch the series chronologically if you don’t find it interesting. Track recurring characters and monsters that you’re interested in. If you like the Master or Cybermen, track down all the episodes they appear on by searching the internet. There are several fan sites that indicate each episode a certain character or monster appears. <img> Consider the 97 missing episodes. In the late 1960s and the 1970s the BBC wanted to reuse videotape so they wouldn't have to keep buying more, and as a result, multiple episodes from the first three Doctors' eras were \"lost to time.\" Thankfully though, all of the Third Doctor's era has been recovered and missing episodes are starting to turn up in unexpected places. <img> "

"Buy and install a VPN on your computer. Virtual Private Network (VPN) apps allow you to change your computer's location to fit a different region, thus allowing you to access region-locked streams:\n\nExpressVPN and NordVPN are two of the most highly regarded VPNs available, and both run under $15 per month when purchased on a month-to-month basis (or cheaper when purchased on an annual basis).\nOnce you've purchased and downloaded your VPN, double-click the downloaded file and follow any on-screen instructions to install it. <img> Open your VPN. Once your VPN is installed on your computer, do the following:\n\nWindows — Open Start {\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/0\\/07\\/Windowsstart.png\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/0\\/07\\/Windowsstart.png\\/30px-Windowsstart.png\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":460,\"bigWidth\":30,\"bigHeight\":30,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Windows icon.\\n<\\/p><p>License: <a target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\\\" class=\\\"external text\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/en.wikipedia.org\\/wiki\\/Public_domain\\\">Public Domain<\\/a><br>\\n<\\/p><\\/div>\"}, type in the name of your VPN (e.g., ExpressVPN), and click your VPN's name at the top of the Start window.\n\nMac — Open Spotlight {\"smallUrl\":\"https:\\/\\/www.wikihow.com\\/images\\/e\\/ea\\/Macspotlight.png\",\"bigUrl\":\"\\/images\\/thumb\\/e\\/ea\\/Macspotlight.png\\/30px-Macspotlight.png\",\"smallWidth\":460,\"smallHeight\":460,\"bigWidth\":30,\"bigHeight\":30,\"licensing\":\"<div class=\\\"mw-parser-output\\\"><p>I edited this screenshot of a Mac 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>\"}, type in the name of your VPN (e.g., ExpressVPN), and double-click the VPN's name in the results. <img> Select the UK as your location. This step will vary slightly depending on your chosen VPN, but in most cases, you'll click a \"Choose Location\" drop-down box and then click United Kingdom in the resulting drop-down menu.\nAs of FIFA 2018, the UK is broadcasting all FIFA coverage for free as long as you're in the UK. Using your VPN to appear as though you're in the UK will give you access to this coverage. <img> Open the TVPlayer website. Go to https://tvplayer.com/ in your computer's web browser. This website provides several free streaming options, including FIFA, for UK inhabitants. <img> Click Log In. It's in the top-right corner of the page. <img> Click Create a free account. This link is below the \"Password\" text field. Doing so opens the account creation page. <img> Enter your email address. Type a working email address into the \"Email Address\" text box, then re-type it into the \"Repeat Email Address\" text box. <img> Enter a password. Type your preferred password into the \"Password\" text box. Keep in mind that the password must be at least 8 characters in length, include a capital letter, and include a number. <img> Click Create Account. It's a black button at the bottom of the page. Doing so will create your account and return you to the TVPlayer main page.\nIf you don't want to receive emails from TVPlayer, first check the \"Please do not send me TVPlayer special offers and updates\" box below the \"Password\" text field. <img> Click the Watch Live tab. This tab is at the top of the page. Doing so opens the live TV streaming screen. <img> Select the FIFA World Cup option. It's in the right-hand sidebar that's next to the streaming window, though you may first need to scroll up or down on the sidebar.\nDepending on which games are streaming, you may have more than one option here. You can scroll up or down on the sidebar to view more channels. <img> Enter a postcode. If prompted for a postcode (the UK version of a ZIP code), type in CO4 3SQ and then click Submit. Your stream should start immediately.\nThis is the postcode for the University of Essex. <img> ",
"Look for free, online streaming sites. Many online sites host temporary streaming for FIFA games, though you'll have to search for current streams by typing free online fifa streams (or similar) into a search engine. Keep in mind that online streams are often hosted on non-reputable sites; visiting such sites increases the risk of your computer being infected by malware.\nReddit occasionally has links to free streams. You can search for these links by typing fifa stream into the Reddit search bar and selecting the corresponding subreddit.\nConsider installing an ad-blocker in your browser if you're going to browse online streaming sites, as these sites often have numerous intrusive ads. <img> Use TelemundoDeportes before June 25th. If you don't mind watching and listening in Spanish, you can use the TelemundoDeportes website to stream FIFA games until June 25th.\nOnce you reach the 25th of June, you'll be prompted to sign in with your cable credentials.\nTelemundo also has apps—Telemundo Deportes En Vivo and NBC Sports—which allow you to stream FIFA on your iPhone or Android. <img> Use a digital antenna to access FS1. FS1 is a free, over-the-air station which broadcasts the FIFA World Cup. In order to access FS1, you'll need a digital antenna for your TV.\nDigital antennae often run under $30. <img> Use live-streaming online services. Services including Hulu Live, Fubo TV, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, Sling TV, and YouTube TV all have packages available with some or all of the channels broadcasting 2018 World Cup matches.\nThese packages aren't free, but some of them (e.g., YouTube TV) tend to be cheaper and easier to cancel than using a cable counterpart. <img> Watch on Fox. If you have a cable subscription, you can use Fox Sports (which has exclusive English television rights in the United States) to view FIFA. The Fox channels will have matches available on TV, and the Fox Sports Go app will have matches available on mobile devices. <img> ",
"Check to see if your country is broadcasting FIFA for free. Places such as the UK and Belgium provide free coverage of the FIFA World Cup on several different local channels.\nUK users can also visit the TVPlayer website and create an account to stream FIFA coverage from there. <img> View with Spanish commentary. You can stream World Cup games in any browser at TelemundoDeportes.com; if you want to use mobile apps instead, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo or NBC Sports are the way to go. Telemundo will be free until June 25, 2018. After that, you may be prompted to log in online with a pay TV account. <img> View in the UK. BBC and ITV are sharing the rights. All 64 games will be broadcast on both channels. Both broadcasters are also providing online streaming for all games. <img> Watch in Canada. There are three options in Canada: \nCTV and the CTV Go app provide the games on TV, online and mobile.\nTSN will provide all 64 games on TV and streaming with their app.\nFor French speaking Canadians, RDS and the RDS app will have all games in French on TV and available for streaming. <img> Watch in Australia. All games will be available for streaming on the Optus sports app. However, SBS will provide all Socceroos matches, \"games of the day,\" and the Semis and the Final for free. <img> "

"Most of the time, feelings of neediness are rooted in fear. Think about how you would feel if the person you’re dependent on left. Ask yourself what in particular scares you about that scenario.\nFor instance, if you’re emotionally dependent on the person you’re dating, you might have an underlying fear of feeling unlovable. <img> ",
"Get in touch with your inner mind. Find a time when you won’t be interrupted, and sit quietly with yourself for a while. Notice where your mind goes and what kind of urges you experience. You may find some thought patterns or habits you weren’t previously aware of.\nDon’t distract yourself by checking your phone or tidying your room when you do this exercise. Devote all your attention to introspection, even if it’s uncomfortable. <img> ",
"Embrace your truest self. Think about who you really are when you’re not trying to please anybody else. Identify your core values, the things you want to achieve, and your idiosyncrasies. Work on building a sense of self that doesn’t depend on external validation.\nIf you don’t have a strong sense of identity, step out of your comfort zone and explore some new things by yourself. See which activities, people, and ideas resonate with you. <img> ",
"Channel your energy into taking control of your own choices and thoughts. When you depend too much on other people, you may end up trying to control them – or feeling miserable because you can’t. Accept that other people have the right to their own thoughts, feelings, and choices, and realize that these won’t always involve you.\nFor example, if you get jealous when your friend wants to spend time with other people, don’t try to guilt-trip them. Take a deep breath, remember that people can have many friends, and think about what you’ll do with your free time instead. <img> ",
"Talk to someone you can trust. If you feel locked in a cycle of emotional dependency and can’t manage to break out on your own, don’t be afraid to seek help. Talk to a trusted friend or relative, or get help from a counselor or therapist.",
"Dealing with your feelings is your own job, not anybody else’s. Realize that, while you may experience your emotions strongly, they don’t define who you are or control what you do.\nFor example, you shouldn't expect others to stop what they're doing whenever you're in a bad mood or have a tough day. Instead find healthy ways to cope with negative feelings without needing others to \"fix\" it for you.\nIf you can, give yourself a chance to calm down and stabilize a bit before reaching out to a friend. <img> ",
"When you feel down, look for healthy ways to soothe yourself. Try giving yourself a pep talk, going for a walk, or writing in a journal.\nBe careful not to replace one type of dependency with another. For instance, if you have anxiety, it’s not a good idea to start using alcohol to calm yourself down.\nIf you do find yourself turning to alcohol or other substances for emotional reasons, seek help from a doctor or mental health specialist. <img> ",
"Feeling better about yourself can help you overcome the need for others' approval. Take stock of the things you like about yourself, and remind yourself of your good qualities frequently. Increase your self-esteem by challenging yourself to try new things and finding ways to help others.\nYour self-talk is a big component of your self-esteem. Instead of criticizing yourself, talk to yourself in a friendly, encouraging way. Say things like \"I can do this. I am a capable person. I am in charge of my destiny. Whatever happens, I will do my best.\" <img> ",
"Look for the good in people, and keep your expectations reasonable. Don’t get angry if someone occasionally disappoints you. Remind yourself that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.\nFor example, no one is perfect. If a friend forgets your plans, give them the benefit of the doubt, especially if it's a one-off. Otherwise, it's like you expect everyone to be flawless while you are entitled to make mistakes. <img> ",
"Ask yourself what kind of life you want to live. Then, make a plan that will help you get there. Prioritize your own goals and values instead of trying to please other people.\nDon’t confuse fulfillment with getting lots of attention from the person you’re emotionally dependent on. Think about what would make you happy even if they weren’t in your life.\nCreate and pursue your own goals, rather than trying to meet other people’s expectations. <img> ",
"Plan your schedule based on your own needs and wishes. Incorporate time for self-care and activities you enjoy, like visiting friends or going out to the movies. Don’t let other people’s plans dictate your life.\nFor instance, if your significant other goes home to visit their family, don’t mope about being alone. Find fun or productive things to do with your free time instead. <img> ",
"Try to spend time with lots of different people. Stay in touch with your family, and make plans to see your friends regularly. If your social circle is small, you can meet new people through work, classes, or social clubs. <img> ",
"When you help other people, you’ll feel dependable, not dependent. Reach out to your family and friends when they need some extra support, or look for volunteer opportunities in your area.\nHelp other people simply for the sake of helping them. If you expect something in return, you’re still in a dependent mindset. <img> ",
"Step back and think about what you want in life. This might mean doing something as simple as finishing a household task (like painting your room), or it could mean taking steps toward a major life goal (like applying to go back to school).",
"Dependency isn’t healthy, but neither is emotional isolation. As you break free of your old habits, seek out emotionally healthy people to spend time with. Cultivate relationships based on mutual respect, honesty and empathy, not neediness.\nFor example, try to brainstorm some solutions to your personal problems a bit before running to others for advice. This helps you learn how to problem-solve while also taking into consideration that others might have practical advice, too.\nIf you are really feeling stuck, seek help from a therapist. <img> "

How to Get Rid of Your Cold with Mouthwash | [

"Measure the amount of mouthwash recommended by the manufacturer and pour into a clean cup. Typically, the recommended amount is 4 teaspoons (20mL). However, make sure that you check the label of your mouthwash before measuring.\nDo not swig mouthwash directly from the bottle, especially if you are feeling sick. There is no way of knowing if you have taken the correct dosage. If you do have a bacteria or virus, drinking directly from the bottle could transmit your infection to others who may use the same bottle of mouthwash. <img> Swish the mouthwash in your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds. Swish vigorously to get the mouthwash in all parts of your mouth. Gargle the mouthwash in the back of your mouth, too. <img> Spit the mouthwash out. Do not swallow the mouthwash. Swallowing small amounts mouthwash could cause nausea and even diarrhea. Swallowing large amounts could be toxic.\nIf you or someone you know swallows a large amount of mouthwash, keep the product label handy and call the Poison Control Hotline: 1-800-222-1222. <img> Rinse your mouth twice a day, or as recommended by the product label. Do not use mouthwash more frequently than the product label recommends. Most manufactures recommend that you use mouthwash only twice a day. <img> Do not give mouthwash to children under the age of 6. Young children are more likely to accidentally swallow mouthwash, which can pose serious health risks. <img> ",
"Prepare a saline solution. Mix one cup of warm water with ½ to ¾ teaspoon of salt. Use warm water to better dissolve the salt and to soothe your throat. Test the water on the underside of your wrist to make sure it is not too hot to use for gargling. <img> Swish the saline mouthwash around your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds, or up to 3 minutes. Gargle the solution in the back of your mouth, too. The saltwater helps to break up mucus in your throat and draws excess liquid from your throat tissue that may be causing inflammation. <img> Spit the saline solution out, along with any mucus that is loosened from gargling. It’s okay if you accidentally swallow some of the saltwater, as it will give you no bad side effects. However, it’s better to spit it out, along with the mucus that it loosens, to rid your body of any of the bacteria or virus cells that it has accumulated. <img> Repeat as often as necessary. If you have a lot of mucus built up in your throat, gargle with the saltwater solution repeatedly until you’ve expelled as much of the mucus as possible. Otherwise, repeat at least 3 times a day until your cold symptoms subside. <img> "

How to Get Rid of Dry Skin on Your Nose | [
"3BBUjDBVOAra",
"pYUC0sa3M5Vi",
"v6HYzFZqD20T"
] | [
"Wash dry skin gently and pat dry. If your nose is flaky or peeling, you may be tempted to scrub the flakes away or use a harsh exfoliating wash. However, treating dry, flaky skin that way can make the condition worse. Instead, use a gentle moisturizing cleanser and pat your skin dry.\nTake care not to rub the skin or encourage further peeling or flaking. You may want to simply splash water on your face to wash it, rather than using a sponge or washcloth. <img> Moisturize your nose at least 3 to 4 times a day. Keeping your nose moist will eventually heal the dry skin. Always wash your skin gently before reapplying moisturizer, then tap or dab the moisturizer on the dry skin. Do this more often if the skin appears dry or if it's flaky or itchy.\nTake care not to rub the moisturizer into your skin too vigorously. It might exacerbate any flaking or peeling.Tip: Dry skin is often itchy. Avoid scratching your nose as much as possible. You might want to use a moisturizer with aloe, which will help calm the itching and inflammation. <img> Drink plenty of water to stay well-hydrated. If your body is dehydrated, your skin may start to dry out as well. To figure out how much water you should drink each day, weigh yourself and multiply your weight by 0.5. The result is the number of ounces of water you should drink each day to keep your body properly hydrated.\nFor example, if you weigh 140 pounds, you should drink 70 ounces of water a day. This is approximately six 12-ounce glasses of water.\nIf you exercise on a regular basis, add 12 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of moderate exercise. <img> Use a thick cream or ointment during winter months. Creams are oil in water, while ointments are water in oil. Because of the oil included in both of these products, they last longer on your skin and don't have to be replaced as often. However, because they are dense and will feel heavier on your nose and skin, they may not be appropriate in warmer weather.\nThe oil insulates and protects your skin from cold air, which can help ensure that the dry skin on your nose doesn't get any worse.\nEven in warmer months, a heavier cream or ointment will help your skin heal more quickly. However, you may find it uncomfortable as it will likely leave your nose feeling greasy. <img> ",
"Consider whether you've had a cold or allergies lately. If you've had a runny nose due to a cold or allergies, the constant nose-blowing may have caused your nose to become chapped. A moisturizing cream or ointment will help this dry skin heal.\nAs long as you no longer have a runny nose, the dry skin on your nose should go away on its own without much attention from you.Tip: If you frequently get a chapped nose after colds or allergies, you might want to get tissues that are infused with moisturizer or lotion. Putting petroleum jelly on the outside of your nose can also help protect your skin if you have to blow your nose frequently. <img> Eliminate the possibility of a more serious skin condition. Dry skin on your nose might be a symptom of a more serious skin condition, such as dermatitis or eczema. A dry, flaky nose may also be a sign of rosacea.\nIf you suspect you might have a more serious skin condition, make an appointment with a dermatologist as soon as possible. They'll examine your skin and diagnose its condition. <img> Evaluate your diet and caffeine or alcohol consumption. If you eat or drink food and beverages that dehydrate you, this might lead to dry skin on your nose or in other places. Salty food can also suck up the moisture in your body, leading to dry skin.\nCertain beverages, including coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages, are severely dehydrating. For every 8 ounces of any of these beverages, you can lose 16 to 24 ounces of water that must be replaced. <img> Check the ingredients in your cosmetics and skin products. If you wear cosmetics or have skin products specifically for your face, they may be drying out the skin on your nose. Look for alcohols, which are drying ingredients.\nClay-based cosmetics and skin products can also suck the moisture out of your skin, leading to flaky skin.\nIf you suspect that your cosmetics or skin products may be the problem, switch to something for dry or sensitive skin and see if your skin's condition improves. <img> Determine if your nose has been sunburned recently. Sunburn can lead to dry and peeling skin. Sometimes, you'll end up with dry, flaky skin even if your nose was never red. If you've been outside without sunscreen, your nose may have gotten sunburned.\nIt doesn't necessarily have to be bright and sunny, or even warm, for your nose to get sunburned. Your nose could get sunburned on a cloudy day if you're outside without wearing sunscreen. Protect your skin from the sun whenever you're outside. <img> Visit a dermatologist if the condition persists. If the dry skin on your nose worsens or doesn't go away after a week or two, despite the fact that you've kept your nose protected and well-moisturized, you may have a more serious skin condition. A dermatologist can evaluate your skin and determine how best to get rid of the dry skin.\nDermatologists can prescribe medicated moisturizers that may be able to get rid of your dry skin more quickly than over-the-counter remedies can. <img> ",
"Cover your nose with a scarf in cold weather. Dry, cold weather can cause the skin on your nose to get dry. You can protect it by covering your nose with a light scarf or balaclava when you're outside.\nMake sure you wear sunscreen even if you've covered your nose. Not all fabrics block UVA and UVB rays from the sun.Tip: Use a cotton or soft wool scarf if possible. Synthetic fabrics and coarse wool may irritate your nose, leading the dry skin to return. <img> Wear sunscreen any time you're outside. Sunscreen protects your nose from UVA and UVB rays, which can cause your skin to dry out and lead to flaking and peeling. Look for a sunscreen with a moisturizer so you can protect your skin and moisturize it at the same time.\nIf you're out in the sun for an extended period, remember to reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours — especially midday, when the sun's rays are strongest. <img> Use fragrance-free moisturizer regularly. Once the dry skin on your nose has healed, make sure it stays well-moisturized by applying moisturizer several times a day. Look for a moisturizer without fragrances or dyes, which can dry out your skin or cause a reaction.\nWash your face with a gentle soap before applying moisturizer. Pat it dry and then apply moisturizer immediately. <img> Choose makeup that doesn't have dyes or fragrances. Makeup with dyes or fragrances can irritate your skin and lead to flaking or dryness, especially if your skin is sensitive to particular additives. You also want to avoid makeup and skincare products that have alcohols and other drying ingredients.\nLook for products that are made for sensitive skin and have as few additives or chemicals as possible. Organic products might be less likely to irritate your skin. <img> "

"Have a garage sale. A garage sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted household items and make money in the process! Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, household knickknacks, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally home appliances are also sold. Garage sales take time and preparation, so make sure to start planning well in advance.\nSet a date. Pick a date 2-3 weeks ahead of time. This will give you time to plan and advertise your sale.\nWhen setting a date, be conscious of the time of year and be sure to take weather and temperature into account. You are less likely to have good traffic on very hot or very cold days and rain is major deterrent.\nAdvertise your garage sale in local newspapers, on community bulletin boards and on Craigslist. The more people who are aware that your garage sale is taking place, the more people who will show up!\nGather items for sale. This should be done in the weeks leading up to your garage sale. Go through old boxes in the garage, attic and under the stairs. Walk from room to room and gather any items you no longer want or need.\nAttach a clearly written price label to each item. This will make it easier for customers and save you time on the day. You can use small adhesive labels, bits of masking tape or a sticker gun.\nEnlist help from friends, family and neighbors. This will make your garage sale more manageable and less stressful. You will also have more fun this way!\nHave plenty of change. Go to the bank the day before your garage sale and get rolls of quarters, dimes and nickels and plenty of dollar bills.\nAdd interest to your garage sale by selling crafts, baked goods and beverages. Items like cookies and lemonade will sell well while also encouraging people to stick around a bit longer. <img> Participate in a flea market. A flea market is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want to sell or barter merchandise. You can sell all types of used goods at a flea market, though jewelry, household furniture and sports equipment are popular and profitable choices.\nFind out the location of your nearest flea market. Talk to the vendors and find out if they are happy with traffic and sales in that location.\nFind out how much it costs to rent a booth at the flea market. Compare with other flea market locations.\nFind out when the flea market is open. Some flea markets are open every weekend and some only once a month.\nFind out how booth space is reserved. Can you just show up on the day or do you need to reserve your space in advance? Are outdoor and indoor booths available?\nFigure out if you need a permit to sell goods at your local flea market. One time vendors may not be required to have a permit, but if you intend on vending on a regular basis a permit may be necessary.\nThink about whether you'll need tables, chairs or a tent to sell your goods. Find out if these items are available to rent.\nWhen selling, make sure to have plenty of change available as customers may only have bank notes. Offer paper or reusable bags for your customers to use. <img> Rent your things. Renting out your belongings is a convenient way to make some easy money. More and more, people are unwilling to spend large sums of money on items they rarely use. Instead, people are prepared to rent such items from thrifty people willing to lend their belongings for an appropriate fee. Luxury items such as holiday homes, boats and RV's have always been popular rental items, but nowadays items such as vacuum cleaners, power tools and electronic equipment can also find enthusiastic takers.\nThe easiest way to advertise the items that you wish to rent is by using a website that connects local owners and borrowers. Zilok, Rentalic and SnapGoods are among the largest — serving as listing, reservation and payment portals (made via the borrower's PayPal account or a credit card).\nThese websites provide a contract, which usually includes a security deposit to ensure that merchandise is returned without damage. <img> Dress designing or stitching. By starting a little business of dress designing you can earn money, by getting order from boutique or from common people. <img> Paint or craft. If you are creatively inclined, making and selling artwork and craft items can be a fun and rewarding way to make some extra money. Paintings, pottery, photographs, glass work, needlecraft and handmade jewelry are some good examples of artistic creations that can be sold for a profit.\nIf you are a member of a painting or craftwork group, find out it they hold any art exhibitions. If not, why not organize one? Art exhibitions are a great vehicle for getting your artwork out there and generating interest with potential buyers.\nResearch whether there are any craft fairs in your area. If so, you may be able to rent a booth to display and sell your work at the fair.\nYou can also sell your artwork online using websites such as Made It Myself and Art You Can.\nBe careful when pricing your artwork. Cheaper artwork is easier to sell, especially if you are an unknown artist. However, it's also important that you cover the cost of your materials and make a profit. <img> Sell entertainment. If you can sing, dance, play an instrument or perform a magic trick then why not turn that talent into a business?\nEntertain the public by working as a street performer. Find a good space to set up. You want plenty of foot traffic but don't choose anywhere too noisy, you don't want to be drowned out.\nFind out if you need permission to perform in that space. Even if you don't need an official permit, it's common courtesy to ask the permission of any store owners within earshot.\nSet out a hat, tip jar or instrument case to collect your tips. Put some of your own coins or bills in the case, as this will catch the attention of passersby and encourage them to tip as well!\nPerform at events such as weddings, local fairs or children's birthday parties. This is easier if you are part of a band or dance troupe. Come up with a catchy name and ask friends and relatives if you can perform at their events for free in order to get your name out there. If you're good enough, you'll soon have people willing to book you for paid events. <img> Take your items to a pawn shop. A pawn shop is a good option if you need to get some cash fast but don't want to part with any of your belongings permanently.“Pawning” means that you give the pawn shop an item in exchange for a cash loan. For example, you might give them your mountain bike as collateral for a $75 loan. If you repay the loan by a certain date, typically 90 to 120 days after you pawn the item, you can retrieve your bike. The loan repayment amount will include interest and fees that are regulated by the state. If you don't repay the money on time, the pawn shop takes ownership of the bike and can offer it for resale. You also have the option of selling your item to the pawn shop, if you're not interested in taking out a loan.\nFind the right pawn shop. Do some online research to see what others have said about working with local pawn shops. Then, choose a reputable shop and broker you feel comfortable with. Also, know that some pawn shops specialize in certain items. For example, if you have an antique, look for a pawn shop that has experience buying and selling antique items.\nKnow if you want to pawn or sell. Pawn shops will give you the choice, so educate yourself on the options and know the ups and downs of each before you go in. The decision should be based on a number of things including your ability to repay a loan and the value you place on the item you are pawning or selling.\nNegotiate. Understand that pawn store owners are resellers, not collectors. Just because a collector values your vintage vinyl at $100, doesn't mean that you will get that from a pawnbroker. Set a minimum price ahead of time so you don't make a snap decision you'll regret later.\nBe prepared to prove your claims. For example, if you bring in a valuable piece of jewelry, consider having a professional jeweler write up an appraisal so you can prove the piece's worth. If the item runs on batteries, make sure it has fresh batteries in it so you can show that it works. Bringing items in their original packaging is always helpful.\nShow things in their best light. A layer of dust might make sense on an antique, but not on your printer. Imagine that you were going to purchase the item—what would you want it to look like?\nPay on time. If you pawn an item for a loan, be sure to pay back the loan plus interest and fees on time and as agreed. Not doing so will cause you to forfeit your item or extend the loan which will carry additional charges. <img> Sell used books. If you have a large pile of college textbooks gathering dust since graduation or just need to make room on your bookshelf, selling your used books is a great option to make some fast cash. You can get rid of your books the old fashioned way, using garage sales and book fairs, or you can sell your books online.\nWhen selling books online, you have two main options. You can sell to buyers directly, using websites like Amazon and eBay. With these, you will be able to set your own price but you are also responsible for all organization, including including payment processing and shipping.\nThe second option is to sell your books to websites such as AbeBooks, Cash4Books and Powell's. With each of these, you simply input your book's ISBN number. They will immediately tell you if it's something they'd like to buy and what they will pay for it. One pro of using services like this is that they'll pay immediately, and even cover the shipping via labels you print out from your computer. The downside is that these companies are essentially middlemen who will sell your product to someone else for more money.\nFor college textbooks, many campus bookstores now provide \"buyback\" services. This is where you can sell your used textbooks back to the store you originally bought them from at the end of the school term or year. You will typically be able to sell the books back for around 50% of what you originally paid for them. The books need to be in good condition. <img> ",
"Take online surveys. If you like giving your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys from home to make a little extra cash while trying new products. There are hundreds of companies that enlist research panels of average consumers to complete surveys online. You can't expect to earn a full salary from taking online surveys, but it is possible to earn $50 to $100 a month in cash and free products if you take several short surveys, according to experienced online survey site members.\nTry signing up with several survey sites (which are all free to join) to increase your chances of being selected for the surveys.\nBe aware that compensation varies by company and by survey. You may receive a few dollars, or be sent free products in exchange for trying them and providing feedback about them.\nMake sure the site is legitimate. Check to see if the website has a good rating and ensure that they have a privacy policy. <img> Answer technical questions. If you have expert knowledge on a certain topic, then a quick way to make some cash is to answer questions about it online. Topics range from basic legal procedures, to psychological health to computer troubleshooting.\nFirst you need to find reputable websites that will pay you for sharing your expertise. Try sites like JustAnswer, Keen and ChaCha.\nBe aware that most sites have a minimum pay-out rate, usually $20. <img> Open an online store or use an online auction website. It's easier than ever to sell stuff online these days. You can set up your own website and start your own small-scale business or you can go through an online auction website like eBay. Which option you go for all depends on whether you're looking for a long-term money-spinner or a quick fix.\nDecide what your goal is. Setting up your own online store is a great idea if you're looking for a long-term project and you're willing to invest your time and money into it. Online auction sites,on the other hand, are good options if you are looking to sell something quickly, as they already have large customer bases of people ready to snap up a bargain. eBay, Webstore and eBid are some of the most popular ones.\nDecide what you want to sell. Are you going to sell a wide range of products or would you prefer to specialize in something specific? Do you have the products ready to go or will you need to source them from somewhere else?\nResearch the competition. See what your potential competitors are doing and make sure there's a gap in the market for your store.\nDecide what kind of online store you want to set up. Do you want to own your own website? This will give you greater control of your business but also requires more hands-on, technical knowledge. Consider enlisting a tech-savvie friend as a business partner if you're not comfortable with the more technical computer skills. Alternatively, you can set up an estore through sites such as Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy. You will pay to use this service, but otherwise they're pretty hassle-free.\nMarket your site. You won't be able to sell your products if people don't know that your site exists, so make sure to advertise. <img> Write online reviews. There are many websites which offer payment for good quality, original reviews of products, services, restaurants, websites, books, films etc.\nSome websites will pay you upfront for your reviews, others will pay you a certain amount of money based on the number of times your reviews are read. There are other websites that will give you a percentage of the ad revenues generated by your review.\nLook at websites such as Reviewstream, Dooyoo, SharedReviews and Epinions. <img> Complete paid online offers. Some sites offer cash rewards for completing varied online tasks, ranging from reading emails, filling out forms, completing surveys, playing online games or referring your friends.\nBeware of scams. Some sites might request a membership fee, or require you to provide personal information. Be wary of such sites. Try to find third-party reviews and ratings to ensure that the site is legitimate. <img> Make money through blogging. There are many ways to earn money through blogging, from advertising, sponsorship, affiliate programs, to selling your own products. How much money you can make depends on a lot of factors, including how much time you are willing to invest in your blog and how much traffic your blog gets.\nChoose your niche. Pick a topic that you find interesting, it's easier to write about something you have a passion for. Try to choose something topical or something that involves a large community of people. If you want to make money from your blog, you need people to read it!\nYou will need to buy the domain name, which will then be your website or blog, and then find someone to host it for you. The next step will be to set up your blog and install it. You will then need to provide content to the blog, before promoting your site on the Internet.\n\nAdvertisements. Some online providers are on the constant lookout for sites that will support advertisements, and will pay either according to how many visitors the site gets or how many clicked on the ad. There is also a possibility for the site owner to earn a commission from the sales made by the manufacturer as a result of the customer clicking on the ad.\n\nProducts. Some companies offer bloggers to review their products for a certain fee. You can choose to sell or promote products on your website that are related to your niche. Posting video reviews of products on YouTube can also be a very profitable venture.\n\nAffiliate Programs. While not as high-earning as the other strategies, adding links to relevant affiliate products on your own blog can generate income as well. Join popular networks like ClickBank and JVZoo to find items of interest to your audience.\n\nE-book selling. Even if you sell your e-book for less than $20 per copy, the net profit you get will pile up, and you can get a steady income from this alone. You can make your book available on Amazon as a hard-copy or Kindle version. Pull together a collection of your most popular blog posts or create a Blogging 101 guide that you can use to profit from your blogging efforts. There are several tools available for example; you can use Google Docs for free or you can check out a paid service called Zinepal.\nDon't be disheartened if your blog isn't making much money right away. Things take time and the amount of money your earn will build gradually. <img> ",
"Identify your skills.Make a list of all of your skills. List everything from speaking a foreign language, to computer programming to solving complex mathematical equations. Once you know where your strengths lie you can begin to figure out how to use these skills to your financial advantage.\nTry asking yourself questions like, \"What are my three favorite accomplishments?\" or \"What activities make me the happiest?\" This exercise will help you to identify both what you're good at doing and what you enjoy doing.\nSometimes it can be hard to think of what skills you possess off the top of your head. Try finding a list of skills online then highlight the ones that apply to you.\nDon't be afraid to think outside the box. Even the most unusual skills can be harnessed for monetary gain. Can you twist balloons into animal shapes? Advertise your services for a children's birthday party! <img> Search for people who need help. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. Why not take advantage of that fact and offer your services to those in need?\nOffer to help an elderly relative or neighbor. They will appreciate you taking on some more physically challenging tasks such as mowing the lawn or doing the grocery shopping.\nOffer your babysitting skills. Busy moms and dads need some time to themselves every so often, so why not take the kids off their hands for a couple of hours?\nOffer to help people move house. Moving house can be a pain. So many boxes to pack, lift, stack, then unpack. Help ease the workload by offering your services. <img> Ghost shop. A ghost or mystery shopper is a person hired by a company to pose as a potential customer in a shop, hotel or restaurant. The ghost shopper will evaluate their experience based on the customer service, product quality, presentation and other details. If you fancy yourself as an undercover agent, this can be a fun way to make some extra cash.\nYou can apply become a mystery shopper on any number of websites, such as Secret Shopper or Market Force.\nMake sure to only accept assignments in your local area. Spending too much money on gas would defeat the purpose of getting paid to shop!\nIf you are only looking to make money, avoid assignments involving eating at restaurants. In this case, the cost of your meal will be reimbursed but you won't make a profit. <img> Baby-sit or pet-sit. Can you think of a better way to make some extra cash than spending some quality time with an adorable baby or puppy?\nSign up on baby-sitting or pet-sitting websites. Here you can create a profile and match up your interests and requirements with potential employers.\nTaking care of children or pets is a big responsibility. Only sign up for this if you are willing to be fully responsible for those in your care. Many parents/owners will want to see evidence of your qualifications for the job, so having some previous experience helps. <img> Cook. If you're a whiz in the cuisine, put those culinary skills to good use and cook up a money-making scheme.\nOrganize a bake sale at a local school or community center.\nSell some wholesome, home-cooked dinners to families whose parents work full-time.\nArrange a fancy dinner party which your guests must buy tickets to. Aim to use low-cost ingredients to maximize profit. <img> Clean. Advertise your cleaning services to those who are too busy/lazy to do it themselves. <img> Tutor. If you're a math whiz or fluent foreign language speaker, take advantage of your skills and become a tutor. Advertise on community bulletin boards, local newspapers and nearby schools. <img> Invest. Investing can be a good option for someone who is currently jobless but still has a decent amount of money stashed away. Make sure to do your research and aim to find an investment opportunity with low risk and guaranteed returns. <img> ",
"Take part in medical tests and surveys. You can earn money by signing up to participate in clinical trials, drug tests and medical surveys. You will essentially be a human guinea pig, so this option is not for the faint-hearted!\nSome medical tests may be completely harmless, while others have the risk of mild to severe side-effects. Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before signing up for anything.\nBefore participating in a medical trial you may be required to pass a physical exam to determine your eligibility. <img> Donate blood plasma. By donating blood plasma you can earn money while also doing something beneficial for society. You can expect to be paid around $30 for each blood plasma donation, but due to health hazards, most donation centers have a minimum waiting period between each donation. Do a quick search online to locate the nearest donation center or contact a local hospital. <img> Participate in a focus group. A focus group is a type of research conducted by marketing companies to evaluate a particular group's attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and opinions of a particular product, service or idea. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members.\nYou will need to fill out a survey to qualify for participation in a particular focus group.\nFocus groups can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours.\nDon't hold back. If you are invited to participate in a study, there is an expectation that you will speak your mind. You need to contribute your thoughts and opinions in an upfront manner. <img> "

How to Dry Camelbak | [
"sqsj6mWRv7ce",
"q1VMmCwkyOSP"
] | [
"Wash out the bottle to sanitize it. Clean the bladder with a mixture of 2 tbsp (28.8 g) of baking soda and at least 1 cup (240 mL) of hot water. Pinch the end of the drinking tube closed and hold the bottle over your head to swish the mixture throughout the tube and bladder. Let the baking soda mixture sit for half an hour before pouring it out.\nIf you’d prefer a stronger cleaning solution, use 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of bleach instead. <img> Scrub the bottle with a gentle dish soap. Use a pea-sized amount of soap to wash out the cleaning solution, and continue to rinse out the bladder with warm water. After rinsing, scrub the hard-to-reach corners of the Camelbak bladder with a brush. Finally, check that all of the suds are gone before you leave the bladder to dry.Did you know? Camelbak also manufactures brushes designed to clean their water bladders. <img> Set the Camelbak bladder on a flat, open surface to let it dry. Leave the top of the water bladder ajar so that open air can get into both the bottle and the drinking tube. Let it dry for a day or 2, or until all moisture has evaporated from inside of the bladder. To check this, rub the inside of Camelbak with a clean finger to see if the bladder still feels damp. <img> ",
"Tie a wad of cotton to a line of fishing wire. Knot a piece of fishing line around a cotton ball, or a piece of cotton ball. Check that the cotton is securely attached to the fishing line, and tie it multiple times, if necessary. If you don’t have any cotton balls on hand, cut off the end of a Q-tip and use that instead.\nPipe cleaners are also a great way to get rid of any excess moisture in the drinking tube. <img> Drag the line through the drinking tube to dry it out. Stick the cotton end of the fishing wire into the tube and push it through. Continue pushing the wire so that the cotton ball or bud picks up any obvious moisture. Keep forcing the wire through the tube until the cotton emerges on the other end.\nCut the cotton ball or bud into a smaller piece if it doesn’t seem to fit through the drinking tube. <img> Shake out the water bladder to remove any left over water. Hold the main part of your Camelbak over the sink to get rid of any stray water droplets. If there’s still some water leftover in the bladder, use a paper towel to blot it away. <img> Crumple up some paper towels and leave them in the water bladder. Ball up a few sheets of paper towels and layer them in the bottle. Continue stuffing the bladder until it’s full, making sure that the paper towels are touching the edge of the bottle as you go.\nIf you’re having difficulty getting the paper towels into the bottle with your hands, try using a set of salad tongs to place them in the bladder. <img> Let the Camelbak air-dry for at least 4 hours. Set the water bladder on a flat, open surface where it can receive plenty of air. Check to make sure that the water tube as well as the main bladder are both open as they dry. If needed, let your Camelbak bladder dry overnight.Tip: Try leaving your Camelbak bladder in a place you won’t forget about it, like the top of a refrigerator. <img> "

How to Overcome Anxiety After an Interview | [
"iaoqLJlWazOP",
"NhdlmxxC3yiL",
"T5FiPweauSk9"
] | [
"Stay out of your head. If you spend too much time thinking about what just happened, you're going to make yourself crazy. Take a moment to say hello or goodbye to people as you leave the building, for instance. Try to engage people in conversation in the elevator on your way out. These little steps will stop you from thinking so much about what you just did. <img> Take a moment to breathe. Once you get to the car or home, take a little bit to calm yourself down. A breathing exercise can help take away some of your anxiety.\nIt may not seem like it, but steps one and two actually work to the same end. They both make you stop overthinking your interview. <img> Bend a friend's ear. One way to help you de-stress is to tell a friend about it. Make it someone who can help you break apart the interview to see what you did well and what you didn't do as well. Talking about the interview can help calm your anxiety. Plus, no matter whether you did badly or well, knowing how you did can help you have some closure and move on with life.\nOnce you've figured out what you can do better, it's time to stop thinking about the interview. You've thought about it enough to learn from your mistakes, and that's all that matters. <img> Try a self-soothing activity. A self-soothing activity is basically anything you do that makes you happy or calms you down. It can be anything from sipping tea to having a nice dinner to going to see a movie. Treat yourself to an ice cream if that's your thing. <img> Spend some time laughing. Laughing is one of the best ways to de-stress and help yourself move on. Go out with a couple of friends who always make you laugh. Listen to a hilarious audiobook. Go to a funny movie. Anything that will get you guffawing will help you feel better. <img> Have a dance party. That is, turn up some loud music you love that has an awesome beat. Dance around your house to it until you start feeling better. It can also help to sing along to your favorite songs.\nDancing can actually help shake some of the stress out of your body. If you don't feel like dancing, try bending at the waist as you relax your torso, head, and arms, similar to a ragdoll. Then, shake your shoulders and arms to help get rid of any stress you're holding on to, going down and then back up again. <img> Exercise. Sometimes, you may find you have so much nervous energy after an interview that the best cure is to use exercise to your advantage. For instance, maybe you could play a pickup game of basketball with some friends, playing hard until you've let go of some of your anxiety. <img> ",
"Send it soon. Make sure to send a thank you within the first couple of days after an interview. That way, the interview is still fresh in the interviewer's mind.\nSending a thank you is a good way to channel your anxiety because it gives you something physical to do to help you get the job. <img> Choose a format. Today, companies are often fine with an email thank you letter. You can use email unless you know the company to be very formal, such as they requested you send in your resume rather than submit it by email. Nonetheless, a mailed letter can show that you are committed to the position.\nIt can be nice to write a short handwritten note, even. Just make sure your handwriting is neat, and write it out first somewhere else so you don't have typos. Mostly, though, you should only use handwritten notes with somewhat informal companies. <img> Stay formal. Start with \"Dear Mr./Ms.\" with the person's last name and a semi-colon. If you're sending a typed letter, include the formal heading, with your name and contact information, the date, and the employer's name and contact information above that. In an email, it's not as necessary, but you can still include it. <img> Get to the point. Start out with thanking the person for the time it took to interview you. In the middle, talk about a connection you made with the interviewer or reiterate what makes you valuable. End the letter with another thank you and convey how much you would like to join the company.\nFor instance, to note the connection, you could say, \"Thank you for the time you took to interview me the other day. I was pleasantly surprised to find another OU grad. Go Sooners!\"\nAs for what makes you valuable, you could write, \"As we discussed, this job requires sharp attention to detail. With my work experience as an editor, I have the keen eye you need.\" <img> Keep it short. You shouldn't be writing a dissertation. This note is just a short, simple way to remind the interviewer of your presence and to show that you really are interested in the job.\nDefinitely keep it under a page. You don't want to overwhelm the interviewer. Five paragraphs is also a good maximum, if you're writing an email, but shorter is probably better. <img> ",
"Continue with your job search. While you may get the job you interviewed for, you never know until you get the call. Plus, it may take the company a little while to get back to you. Meanwhile, you shouldn't be wasting time sitting around. Keep applying for jobs and making contacts.\nIt may take a while to hear back, depending on the job. For instance, some companies may take up to a month to get back to candidates. It's fine to ask at the interview how long you can expect to wait to hear back, so you have a good idea. <img> Sleep well. Try to get the recommended 8 hours of sleep. When you're not getting enough sleep, it makes you more stressed.\nStick to a sleep schedule, even on the weekends. If you can't remember to go to bed on time, try setting an alarm on your phone an hour before you want to go to sleep. At the point, shut down all electronics and get ready to head for bed. <img> Focus on what went well. Once you've figured out if anything went wrong and how you can correct it, spend your time thinking about what went well, if you must think about the interview. Think about how well you did answering a particular question, and remind yourself that you remembered to ask a couple of questions. Staying focused on the positive will help keep you upbeat. <img> Spend time doing a hobby. Hobbies are a great way to de-stress because you can lose yourself in what you're doing, much like meditation. Pick a hobby you love to do, and spend a couple of hours doing it the week after the interview.\nEven better, visit a local group that was created around the same hobby. That way, you engage with others and enjoy your hobby. <img> Volunteer your time. Volunteering is a way to help others, but it also builds up your skill set at the same time. Plus, it makes you feel better about yourself and gives you a chance to meet new people and network.\nTry volunteering at a local library or school. Visit hospitals, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and other similar organizations to see if you can help. Spearhead a community garden. Try to pick something that partially uses the skills you have. <img> "

"Talk with your ex about what’s okay and what’s not. If you had a rough breakup, you might want to go no contact for a while or even unfollow each other on social media. If you plan on staying friends with your ex, hanging out in a group or texting every once in a while might be okay, but not every day.\nSay something like, “Hey, I think we need to talk about what we’re doing here. I’m fine with staying friends, but I don’t want to hang out one on one anymore. If we see each other when we’re out and about, that’s okay.”\nThis is especially important if you want to get back together with your ex but they don’t want to. <img> ",
"You might need to do this if your ex still talks to you like you’re dating. Confirm with them that you aren’t anymore and they know that you two are broken up. If they agree that you two are completely broken up, tell them they need to start living like they’re single now.\nIt can be hard for some people to adjust to the single life, especially if you two were together for a while. Try not to do things for your ex that you did while you were dating—that will only make things more confusing.\nIf you want to get back together with your ex, it might be worth sitting down and having a talk with them. If they’re sending mixed signals, it might mean they regret breaking up, too. <img> ",
"It’s easy for your ex to say they miss you or want to be with you. However, if they never follow up on that, it’s probably not legit. Take anything your ex says to you with a grain of salt, and only believe them if they follow through with their actions.\nFor instance, your ex might say they’re working on themselves so you two can get back together. However, what does that actually look like? If they aren’t going to therapy or actively working on their issues, they aren’t serious.\nIf your ex says all the right things but doesn’t act upon them, it probably means they don’t actually want to get back together with you. <img> ",
"Liking your pic on social media doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Although it can be weird if your ex pops up in your notifications, simply double tapping a photo isn’t a clear signal that they want to get back together. Treat it like a meaningless action, and you’ll be much less torn up about it.\nPeople will sometimes give out little crumbs of attention just to get you thinking about them again. Usually, that’s how you can interpret an ex liking your pics or sliding into your DMs. <img> ",
"They might not even know they’re sending mixed signals. If your ex still cares about you as a person, they’ll either leave you alone or try to get back together. Simply let them know that you’re feeling confused and that you want the mixed signals to stop.\nSay something like, “I’m not sure if you know you’re doing this, but it’s really confusing hearing from you one week and not hearing from you the next. Let’s talk about what we’re doing here.”\nIf you want to get back together with your ex, now is a good time to bring up your feelings. If you don’t, just reiterate that you’re both single now. <img> ",
"Don’t rely on your ex for anything. Try not to ask them for help, whether that be physical, emotional, or financial. Although it might take a while to untangle your lives together, remember that you’re a strong, independent person who can take care of themselves.\nNot depending on your ex can help stop mixed signals in their tracks.\nIf you want to get back together with your ex, becoming independent might just show them what they’re missing. <img> ",
"That will send some mixed signals of your own. If you’re truly done with the relationship, don’t text, call, or message your ex at all. Focus on moving on and living your own life—hopefully, your ex will do the same.\nThis is especially important if you feel like you’re doing most of the work by reaching out or making plans.\nAlthough it sounds counterintuitive, it’s important not to reach out, even if you want to get back with your ex. If you bombard them with texts or calls, it could push them further away. <img> ",
"Treat your ex like what they are: an ex. If you hold onto the hope that you might get back together one day, things are going to get a little fuzzy. Remind yourself that you two broke up for a reason, and that your decision is final.\nIt’s normal to look back on a relationship with rose-tinted glasses after it ends. Try to think about the bad stuff, too. <img> ",
"It will send the message that you’re no longer interested in them. If they text you, don’t respond. If they reach out on social media, block their account. Your ex can send as many mixed signals as they want, but you aren’t obligated to respond to them.\nIt’s usually easier to move on from your ex if you cut contact, at least for a little while. If you’re having trouble getting over them, try staying away from them for about a month and then see how you feel. <img> "

How to Clean a Stainless Steel Stove | [

"9KCzrmNv0TPR",
"zgveFvCeY7s7"
] | [
"Read the owner's manual. Before cleaning your stove, it's always a good idea to read the owner's manual if you still have it. Some stainless steel stoves may come with specific cleaning instructions. Certain cleaners may damage some types of stainless steel. If you have your stove's instruction manual, give it a thorough read through before cleaning your stove. <img> Determine the direction of the grain. Look at your stove closely. You should see small lines running across the stove. The lines will either run horizontally or vertically. When cleaning, it's important you move in the direction the grain runs. This helps prevent scratching and other damage. <img> Remove initial debris of vinegar. Place some vinegar in a spray bottle. Liberally spritz the surface of the stove with vinegar. Use a paper towel or a very soft cloth to wipe down the stove, catching any obvious dirt and debris in your hands.\nRemember the directions in your owner's manual. If you are not supposed to use vinegar on your stove, choose another mild cleanser. <img> Mix a cleaning solution. Most stainless steel stoves can be cleaned with mild dishwashing detergent. Mix a teaspoon of dish detergent into a quart of hot water. It is not necessary to use bottled or distilled water. Tap water can easily be used on stainless steel.\nMake sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from hot water. <img> ",
"Wipe down your appliances in the direction of the grain. Get a washcloth slightly damp and then wipe down your stove. Start at the top of your stove and work your way downwards as you clean. Remember to clean in the direction of the grain. Vertical grains should be wiped down vertically and horizontal grains should be wiped down horizontally. <img> Apply a special cleaner for harsh stains. After giving your stone an initial cleaning with your detergent solution, look for any harsh stains. If there is any splattered food or grease on your stove, use a special cleaner to remove it.\nCleaners containing oxalic acid are usually the best course of action for a stainless steel stove. However, you should double check your owner's manual to make sure such cleaners are safe for your stove.\nWhen applying a cleaner on dirt and grease stains, remember to move your rag in the direction of the grain. <img> Rinse and dry your stove. After applying cleaners, rinse your stove off completely. Dampen a clean wash cloth with hot water. Run it over the stove, moving in the direction of the grain, until the water runs clear. Immediately dry your stove with a paper towel or cloth.\nIt's very important to use hot water only to rinse off a stainless steel stove. <img> Shine with oil. To give your stove a nice shine after cleaning, dip a soft cloth in a small amount of oil, such as mineral or olive oil. Moving in the direction of the grain, give your stove a quick polishing. This will remove any streaks from the cleaning process and leave your stove shiny. <img> ",
"Avoid abrasive brushes or cleaners. Only use paper towel and soft cloths on a stainless steel stove. Harsh, abrasive brushes, like steel wool, will very easily scratch stainless steel. <img> Do not use any kind of bleach. Bleach of any kind should never be used on stainless steel. Chloride products and oven cleaners often contain bleach, which can seriously damage stainless steel. <img> Do not clean your stove when it's hot. If you just cooked on your stove, avoid cleaning it until it cools down. Wait until your stove is cool to the touch before applying a cleaner. <img> Don't leave a mess on the stove. To keep your stove clean, wipe it down after every use and avoid letting food spills sit on the stove. The longer the food stays on the stainless steel, the more likely it is to stain it.\nWiping down your stove after every use will also help you to avoid needing harsh cleansers to clean your stove."

How to Treat an Infected Tattoo | [
"qBHiAebejBIt",
"lr4qrEg82CHh",
"tx5Veqwju8Vm"
] | [
"Expect small amounts of blood and fluid during a new tattoo's healing process. After a new tattoo, you should expect small amounts of blood for up to 24 hours. Your tattoo should not be soaking a bandage, but a little amount of blood is normal. You should also be prepared for clear, yellow, or blood-tinged fluid to be released in small amounts for up to one week after the procedure.\nYou can also expect a new tattoo to be raised for a week after you get it. After about a week, your tattoo will start flaking into small flecks of colored or black ink.\nIf the area begins is discharge pus, you could have an infection. Contact your doctor or dermatologist to get it checked out. <img> Check for any fever, swelling, inflammation, or itching. Your tattoo shouldn't be painful, tender, or itchy after a week. If it is, it's probably infected. <img> Go to the doctor immediately if you see red streaks. Red streaks are a sign that there is an infection, and it may be spreading. Occasionally, streaking can be a sign of blood poisoning, also known as sepsis. They look like red lines shooting out from your tattoo in every direction. Sepsis can cause serious illness, so seek out a doctor or medical professional immediately.\nNote that general redness is not a sign of blood poisoning. <img> ",
"Apply a cold pack to reduce inflammation. Do not place ice directly onto your skin. Instead, wrap the ice in a thin towel before placing it on your skin.\nApply the ice for 10 minutes.\nRemove the ice for 5 minutes to let your arm rest.\nRepeat 2-3 times a day as needed. <img> Take an antihistamine to relieve itching. An antihistamine like Benadryl can help reduce inflammation and itching. Always take an antihistamine with a meal, and never take more than the prescribed amount. Don't take an antihistamine like Benadryl if you know you're allergic to it. <img> Use petroleum jelly and a nonstick bandage to protect your tattoo. Apply a thin layer of a petroleum jelly product like Vaseline or Aquaphor. Cover your tattoo in a nonstick bandage to protect it from dirt, dust, and sun exposure. Replace both the jelly and the bandage daily.\nIf the bandage sticks when you try to remove it, soak the bandage with warm water before trying again. <img> Sooth and treat a mild skin irritation with aloe vera. Aloe vera contains compounds that may ease pain and promote skin repair. Leave the tattoo and aloe vera uncovered until it dries. Reapply as needed. <img> Let your tattoo breathe whenever possible. While it is important to cover your tattoo from dirt, dust, and sunlight, it's equally important to let your tattoo breathe. Exposing your tattoo to clean, shady air gives your body the chance to heal it on its own. When you're home, remove the bandage. <img> Go to the doctor after two weeks or if symptoms get worse. If these methods are not working to treat your inflammation, or if your symptoms got worse after you started treating them, see a doctor or dermatologist. They can take a skin biopsy or blood test to determine the best measures for treating your tattoo infection. \nYour doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other medicine that you can't access without a prescription. <img> Treat an allergic reaction with a topical steroid ointment. Unlike infections, allergic reactions are caused by ink, most commonly red ink. If you have a red rash that looks bumpy and feels itchy, you probably have an allergic reaction. Such a reaction won't go away with traditional infection treatments. Treat an allergic reaction with a topical steroid ointment until it goes away.\nFor a mild topical steroid ointment, try Derma-Smoothe or Aclovate Cream. For slightly stronger options, try Dermatop Cream or Cultivate Cream.\nIf you're not sure what strength of topical steroid ointment you should get, ask your dermatologist for advice. <img> ",
"Get any future tattoos at licensed tattoo shops. Before getting a tattoo, make sure your tattoo parlor has the proper licenses and uses clean and safe methods. All tattoo employees should wear gloves, and your needles and tubes should be in sterile, sealed packages before being used.\nIf you feel uncomfortable with your chosen tattoo shop's procedures, find a new one! <img> Keep the skin covered for 24 hours after getting a tattoo. This helps the tattoo heal during its tenderest stage and protects it from dirt, dust, and sunlight. <img> Wear loose clothing that won't stick to your tattoo during the healing process. Clothing that rubs against a tattoo can cause an infection. If you're struggling to keep your clothing from sticking to your tattoo, cover your tattoo in petroleum jelly and a bandage for up to 6 weeks after getting it. <img> Avoid picking at your tattoo until it's fully healed. Scratching can damage your tattoo and cause infection. <img> Stay out of the sun and water for 6-8 weeks after getting a tattoo. Exposing your tattoo to water and sunlight increases the chance of infection and scarring. When showering, cover the tattoo in plastic wrap to keep it from getting wet.\nPat, don't rub, your tattoo after washing. Rubbing can cause irritation or even puncture the skin. <img> "

"Go to any orientation events. Some schools will have an orientation, where they invite sixth graders and sometimes other new students to the school before the year starts, and have them meet the teachers and run through their schedule. It is highly recommended that you do this, since you'll get your schedule and locker, and be able to take a tour of the school to find out where your classes are. <img> Be prepared to change classes during the day. You may have noticed this on your schedule, but usually in middle school, you'll change classes at least a few times during the day, which you may not have done during elementary school. This means more classrooms and teachers, but it's nothing to worry about—as mentioned earlier, try to attend orientation so you can run through your schedule and tour the school. \nEspecially during the first few weeks, teachers and students will likely be prepared to help you find the way to your classes if you're still unsure. <img> Know some important skills. In order to succeed, the following skills are very useful. \nLearn how to open a combination lock for your locker. In sixth grade, you'll likely have a locker that needs to be opened with a combination. However, there should be plenty of faculty or fellow students, especially during the first few weeks of the school year, who you can ask if you're having trouble remembering how to work the locks.\nRemember to be nice. Common decency and politeness is the best way to go.\nLearn how to make friends. To survive middle school you need allies and people you can trust. Find a group you fit in with quickly and work at making friends with them. These should be people who connect with and enjoy spending time around.\nKnow how to be mature. You're turning from a child into a young adult, and you should learn how to act like it. <img> Cope with being amongst the youngest kids in your middle school. Sixth graders are usually at the very bottom of the middle school ladder, and there are some difficulties that come with this, such as having less opportunities at school (such as a smaller amount of clubs you can attend). Older kids might also bully you, as they think you are \"inexperienced\" and \"naive\". Likewise, mature older kids will help you navigate the school and aid you in your sixth grade year. \nIf you meet older bullies, don't think that they are automatically \"smarter\" than you because of their age. It's best to talk to a school administrator (such as the principal) about this, and also a parent or guardian.\nTry to make friends in older grade levels who can serve as mentors for you. You can meet older kids at clubs and school events. <img> ",
"Review and learn sixth grade math concepts. In sixth grade, you'll learn many math concepts that are related to things you learned in fourth and fifth grade. Sixth grade math usually encompasses fractions and integers, some geometry, and some pre-algebra if you're in an advanced math class (it's common for kids in private schools and kids in advanced math courses to take pre-algebra in sixth grade). \nYou will learn many number-related math skills in sixth grade. This includes ratios, dividing fractions, and doing decimal arithmetic. You will also be learning about numbers beyond positive integers and positive fractions (negative numbers). You will probably learn negative number arithmetic too. You'll also learn about exponents and how to solve easy exponent arithmetic. The teacher will also likely teach slopes and y-intercepts of lines, and how to graph them.\nYou will learn some basic pre-algebra. You'll solve basic equations with variables, such as x+5=9{\\displaystyle x+5=9} or 2x=18{\\displaystyle 2x=18}. In these equations, you would move all of the numbers to one side and the variables to one side. In the 1st equation, x=9−5{\\displaystyle x=9-5}, which means that x=4{\\displaystyle x=4}. In the second equation, divide both sides by 2 to make 2x{\\displaystyle 2x} into only x{\\displaystyle x}. x=9{\\displaystyle x=9}.\nIf you're in an advanced class, a whole year of pre-algebra will be taught. At first, you'll review how to graph lines, slopes, and y-intercepts. Then, it will progress to more complicated equation-solving (e.g. 0.25x+1.25=0.5x{\\displaystyle 0.25x+1.25=0.5x}) and you'll learn how to solve a system of equations. In the end, you may learn a bit of geometry (such as surface area and the volumes of cylinders and triangular prisms). <img> Learn and review sixth grade grammar and writing concepts. You will learn more grammar concepts in sixth grade than in elementary school. You might know the basic parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions, but there are still more parts of speech to be taught! \nIn grammar, you'll likely learn types of verbs (transitive and intransitive). You'll also master direct and indirect objects. New parts of speech like conjunctions will also be taught. Conjunctions connect related ideas together in a sentence. Writing out \"FANBOYS\" (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) will make it easier for you to memorize coordinating conjunctions. \nIn writing, you'll probably write essays. As usual, you'll write with more advanced vocabulary as each year goes on. You will write more structured narratives, with detailed descriptions of the events and characters in the story. Your informative/expository essays will also improve. By the end of the year, you'll probably know to include an introduction, supporting details, and a conclusion in your essays. <img> Review and learn sixth grade reading and vocabulary. Sixth grade reading and vocabulary will be pretty similar to what you learned in fifth grade. However, there will be new things learnt, as usual. You may learn some more complex vocabulary words, and read longer books with fascinating plots. \nFor reading, read books such as To Catch a Cheat by Varian Johnson, Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova, Holes by Louis Sachar, and Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein. \nOlder books suitable for sixth graders include The Secret Garden by Frances Hodson Burnett, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Call of the Wild by Jack London, and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. <img> Review sixth grade science. Each school district teaches a slightly different curriculum, but most teach a combination of biology, physics, and earth science. These topics are pretty similar to what you've learned in fifth grade, although the concepts will be more complex. There will also definitely be more terms to memorize! \nFor biology, you may learn about cells and the human body. Plant life might also be taught. A bit of genetics might be covered. Review some of your knowledge on ecosystems and the environment, too. Remember terms like, \"cytoplasm\", \"ribosomes\", \"cell wall\", \"nucleus\", and \"mitochondria\" for the parts of a cell (also called \"organelles\"). For plant science, remember key words like \"vascular\", \"non-vascular\", \"mosses\", \"ferns\", and \"roots\". Understand the terms for human body systems as well, such as the respiratory, circulatory, excretory, and the lymphatic systems.\nFor earth science, the classification of rocks may be taught. Know some terms, such as \"igneous\", \"metamorphic\", and \"sedimentary\".\nIn physics, you may learn about energy transfers and energy transformations (e.g. from kinetic energy to mechanical energy). Heat transfer may also be taught. <img> Review and learn sixth grade history. Sixth grade history also depends on the school you're in, so don't expect it to be completely the same as last year. Each school focuses on a different part of history. Some may learn American history, whereas other focus more on geography, modern world history, or the medieval period of world history. \nYou may get to learn about different revolutions, such as the American and French revolutions.\nYou may get a taste of 19th century world history during the time of the Industrial Revolution, when people began mass-producing goods in factories. This caused many people to move to the cities to find factory jobs. The people owning the factories frequently mistreated their workers, resulting in strikes.\nMany famous people such as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller owned companies that made them one of the wealthiest people in the world at the time. <img> ",
"Take notes. Your teachers may not require notes for every subject, but it's still great to take notes using at least a thin notebook. The most important subjects to take notes on are math, science, and history. You can take notes in language arts too, although they'll be shorter, as you will likely only need to take notes for grammar or when reading a book for school. If you're reading an assigned book (e.g. The Hobbit or Holes), your teacher may require reading notes on the characters, plot, setting, and the main ideas of each chapter or section of the book. Jot down key terms. You should also provide a few examples. \nFor math, draw diagrams and do a few example problems in your math notebook. If your school tells you to buy your own school supplies, buy a graph paper notebook. This will make it easier to line up numbers and draw shapes on coordinate planes. Your bar and line graphs will also be neater.\nFor history, write down key events that happened, who was involved, and when they happened. For example, you could write, \"1793 – Eli Whitney invents the cotton gin\".\nDon't write complete sentences for your notes! Unless you're writing down example sentences for grammar, writing whole sentences will waste your time when you want to write down as many points as possible. It will also tire your hand out faster. Use abbreviations, semicolons, bullet points, and fragments of sentences to make your notes concise. Remember, you're not copying down the whole textbook! <img> Study for tests. During earlier grade levels such as third grade, second grade, first grade, and kindergarten, you probably did not study for tests, or at least not as much. Since elementary school concepts are easier to understand and there is usually less material, kids often have an easy time remembering most of the information. As early as third grade, tests may become harder to ace without studying for at least 10 minutes daily. Addition facts are easy to memorize, but using the slope-intercept formula? That information is harder to retain in your brain over a long period. \nAnother benefit of studying every day is that you are prepared for pop quizzes. If you only study when you have a test coming up, you may not be prepared if there is a pop quiz. If you already study with or without tests, it becomes a habit, and you'll already know the information. <img> Buy a planner. If your school gives you a school supply list, it may already include a planner on it. If your school doesn't and expects students to buy their own supplies, buy one. A planner is essentially a booklet in which you jot down important dates and assignments. These could be related to school, or they could even be about extracurriculars or clubs. Some planners already give you a full calendar with the dates for each school year printed on it, while others allow you to make your own calendar. \nTo keep track of important dates, you could write something like, \"ACSL club - Fibonacci sequence project due\" on the day that project is due, or \"Math test (Lessons 61-65)\" on the day that test is scheduled for.\nYou can also keep separate planners; one for school assignments and one for fun events or extracurriculars. This makes your schedule organized, and you won't get mixed up with what's important and what's not. <img> ",
"Be clean. If you're messy, have crumbled papers and trash all-around your desk, you will be showing the teachers and students how unorganized you are. If you come to school with stains, holes in your clothes, unbrushed hair, bad breath, and dirty skin, most people will probably stay away from you. This is why personal hygiene is important! Practice your hygiene by cleaning your surroundings and yourself. \nTake care of your personal hygiene by brushing your teeth after every meal, brushing your hair daily, washing yourself daily (or every other day), and washing your hair.\nTry to stay organized by throwing away unnecessary items and putting important papers (such as homework and classwork) in folders. Clean out your folder every few weeks or so to get rid of old assignments. <img> Avoid wearing inappropriate clothes. Revealing clothing or clothing with swear words on it isn't appropriate for young tweens. Revealing clothing is fine for when you're older, but it should not be worn when you're too young. Not only can doing this potentially attract the wrong crowd, but it also isn't in good taste. You may even get in trouble for breaking your school's dress code. If you wear something that has curse words on it, people may get offended. These things are probably against the dress code in your school, so don't wear them.\nWhile every school is different, breaking the school dress code can lead to detention or suspension. At the very least, you'll be asked to select more school-appropriate attire. Deal with puberty. Many kids, especially girls, start puberty around the ages 8-10. Girls start puberty earlier than boys in general, so more girls are developing in fifth grade than boys. Boys may still look like tall 9 and 10-year-olds, whereas some girls may be mistaken for a young teenager. This is normal, as everyone develops at different rates. Puberty can be awkward and embarrassing to deal with, so here are some tips! \n\nGet a training bra for developing breasts. One of the early signs of puberty in females is breast growth, so if you feel nickel-sized bumps on each of your breasts, it may be time to buy one.\n\nDeal with a period in middle school. If you get a period in sixth grade, you are not abnormal or strange. The average age of a sixth grader is 11-12, which is the average age of menarche (the first period).\n\nDeal with male puberty. Male puberty is another set of symptoms- genital enlargement, erections and wet dreams, a developing voice, and the growth of facial hair may be embarrassing.\nRemember to not back down or feel embarrassed, even when immature kids tease you. Everyone goes through puberty, so you aren't alone. Many more kids will go through the process during the sixth grade school year, in seventh grade, in eighth grade, and in high school. <img> ",
"Take time getting to know your classmates. There will be people you have never met before in your class, as 2-4 elementary schools' students go to one middle school. This means you won't know people from 1-3 elementary schools. If you've moved to a completely new school district, you may not know anyone or only a couple of people. Some people naturally get along with everyone and fit in after a few days, whereas others take a while to warm up to the new environment (whether that's a week or a few months). Take it slow if you're shy or nervous. \nWhen you've got some free time, introduce yourself to someone in your class. Say something like, \"Hi, I'm Ashley. What's your name?\" or \"Hey! My name's Bruno. How did you think history class went?\".\nLet the conversation naturally flow, and if you think you have things in common with the person, there's a chance that that person could be one of your middle school friends!\nIf the conversation is short and boring, consider that as a sign that you need to meet more people. The person may not be interested in making friends with you, so introduce yourself to others who may be interested. <img> Be friendly to everyone. This is why someone who always frowns or annoys people will not get many friends. People who seem uninterested in talking to other people (the kids who always sit alone and do not contribute to conversations) will not get many friends either. Most kids like a friendly person that will help them through challenges and talk about their day with them. Say hi to someone while on the way to class, help someone with their homework, or help clean up the classroom after class. These are all ways to be friendly. Doing this will earn you at least a few friends. \nContrary to what some kids think, being a big bully/mean girl does not earn you friends. Do not do this, as you don't want to ruin your reputation at the beginning of middle school! Sure, they may seem like friends to you on the outside, but on the inside, they may be as mean as you. They might make friends with you just to gain popularity, so they may fight with you to get the \"most popular\". <img> Hang out with classmates during breaks and lunch. These are the best times to hang out and get to know each other! If you don't stay in study hall or attend any clubs, you can hang out with your friends during break and lunch. You can even talk while you are going to the bathroom with them. Yes, some kids can talk anywhere; during class, in the bathroom, at lunch, during clubs/study hall, and on the bus to/from school if they use the bus to get to school. That doesn't guarantee that other kids like them though; they may make others annoyed or distracted from their schoolwork. So, only chat during appropriate times. Save conversations for breaks, lunch, and after-school times! \nWhispering or talking to your bestie during class or during an inappropriate time (e.g. during an assembly or during a trip to the principal's office) may get you into trouble, so don't do it often. If you do this too frequently, your reputation may downgrade, because you may be known as \"too chatty\" or \"a distraction\". <img> Join multiple clubs in your school. From robotics to newspaper and drama, there will probably be at least one club that you're interested in. People of all grade levels and classes can join clubs, so you will find people that are older than you there. Middle schools will usually have more clubs than elementary schools, so expect there to be variety. These clubs demonstrate your interests and help you gain friends that share the same hobbies as you. For example, if you join the art club, you will find art lovers all over the club. If you attend the robotics club, a bunch of AI enthusiasts will be there.\nBe careful not to join too many clubs, or you won't be able to get any work done. Try and stick to 2 or 3 clubs you're particularly interested in.\nDuring a club, you can talk to the people sitting next to you. If you're rehearsing lines (say, for performing arts), rehearse with the people in the same scene and/or act as you. Rehearse your lines a couple of times, then talk a bit to get to know each other. Deal with having a crush in sixth grade. This could be your first ever love interest or your third crush. You may feel overwhelmed with emotion, whether this is your first crush or your sixth, or whether you know them or not. Sometimes it may be \"love at first sight\", in which case you may want to check if you actually love this person for more than just their looks. For others, it takes a while to develop a crush by getting to know them better, and that's ok too! You may also be very shy about having a romantic interest, and not know how to express your feelings.\nFirstly, check if you really have a crush. If you want to hug or hold hands with the person (physical affection) and feel overly nervous or excited around them, that's a crush and not just a friend.\nNext, decide whether or not you want to tell them. Some people don't want to let anyone know that they have feelings for the person, and that's perfectly fine. Letting it out is more satisfying though, and you really get to know whether or not they like you romantically or not. Ultimately, it's up to you whether or not you want to confess your feelings.\nUnderstand if your crush rejects you that it is not the end of the world! Don't despair- you will meet many more romantic interests over the course of middle school, high school, and college. Take time to grieve and focus on yourself. Avoid groups who tend to exclude people because they \"aren't like them.\" Make friends with people you can respect and who seem friendly towards others. Real friends are unique, but have some shared interests- they do not all act and look the same. Don't be with people who force their interests on you or tell you that you have to dress a certain way or do a certain thing to be their friend. \nThis will make you pretty unhappy, as you have to hide your own self to be with these people. <img> Avoid cursing. Cursing is pretty informal, and cursing inside of school will probably get you some bad looks from teachers. Cursing is also very rude and is likely to offend other people, so if you want to curse strongly, curse in private. If you curse too much, you may even get in trouble. Avoid talking behind people's backs. This is pretty mean, so don't try gossiping. It won't gain you any true friends, and in fact, you might lose some. If you see someone doing it, politely let them know that what they're doing is mean."

] | [
"Place the yogurt into the blender. You can use any type of yogurt you want, but blueberry, plain, or vanilla will taste the best. <img> Add the blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you use fresh blueberries, make sure that you rinse them in a strainer/colander under running water. If you are using frozen blueberries, just toss them in. You do not need to thaw them. <img> Pour in some milk if you want a thinner smoothie. If you'd like a thicker smoothie, leave the milk out. <img> Add ½ cup (about 3 cubes) of ice if you are using fresh blueberries. If you are using frozen blueberries, you won't need to add any ice. They will already give you the thickness you need. <img> Add some honey if you'd like a sweeter smoothie. If you are using a flavored yogurt, such as blueberry or vanilla, you probably won't need to add the honey at all. <img> Close the blender and pulse for a few seconds, until smooth. From time to time, you may need to open up the blender, and push the mixture down the sides using a spatula. Don't worry if the smoothie looks \"grainy.\" These are simply the blueberry skins. Most blenders will not be able to grind them up all the way.\nIf the smoothie is too thin, add some more ice. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. <img> Pour the smoothie a glass and serve. This will be enough for one large servings, or two smaller servings. If the smoothie is very thick, use a spatula to help \"guide\" it into the cups. <img> ",
"Use almond milk and flax seeds for a healthy twist, or if you can't have dairy. In a blender, combine 2 cups (475 milliliters) of cold almond milk, ¼ cup (25 grams) of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of flax seeds, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses, and serve.\nIf you are vegan, try another sweetener, such as maple syrup, agave, or stevia.\nFor a pop of color, garnish the smoothie with a mint leaf. <img> Add a banana to make it a banana-blueberry smoothie. Add 1 ripe banana, 1 cup (100 grams) of frozen blueberries, and 1 cup (250 grams) of nonfat, plain yogurt. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses, and serve immediately.\nIf you cannot find frozen blueberries, use fresh ones instead. Add a few ice cubes into the blender to help thicken it.\nIf the smoothie is too thick for you, add a splash of milk, and blend some more. <img> Make a breakfast smoothie with oatmeal and a banana. In a blender, pulse 1/3 cup (35 grams) of rolled oats until they are finely-ground. Add 6 ounces (170 grams) of fat-free Greek yogurt, ¾ cup (120 grams) of blueberries, and 1 banana. Add up to ½ cup (120 milliliters) of water; the more water you use, the thinner your smoothie will be. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses and serve.\nYou can use fresh or frozen fruit for this. If you are using fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes before blending it. <img> Try it with ice cream instead of yogurt. Put 1 cup (100 grams) of blueberries, 1 cup milk (240 milliliters), 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 tall glasses, and serve.\nFor a twist, add a banana and reduce the milk to a mere splash. <img> Satisfy your sweet tooth with some spices and cocoa powder. In a blender, combine 1 cup (100 grams) of frozen blueberries, 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk, 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add a dash of ground cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. Blend until smooth, pour into a tall glass, and serve.\nInstead of maple syrup, try agave nectar.\nFor a hint of color, garnish it with a few blueberries. <img> "

How to Remove Milk Stains from Car Upholstery | [

"Pat the spill dry immediately. The quicker you act, the less likely it is the stain will set in and start to smell nasty. Grab a clean microfiber towel, some paper towels, or a clean rag and gently blot up the spill. Try to soak up as much of the milk as you can.\nPat the spilled milk instead of rubbing it, so that you don’t spread it around or push it deeper into the fibers of your car’s upholstery.\nThe same goes for leather upholstery. Aggressive rubbing can force spilled liquids in deeper. <img> Sprinkle baking soda on the stain. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, can help soak up additional moisture and neutralize odors. Once you’ve blotted up the spill, pour on enough baking soda to completely cover the area of the spill, then let it sit for at least 15 minutes.\nSome auto care experts recommend scrubbing the stain with a soft-bristle scrub brush to work the baking soda into the fibers of fabric upholstery.\nMake sure the area is mostly dry already before you sprinkle on the baking soda. Otherwise, the soda will harden and become difficult to clean up.\nBaking soda works well for soaking up stains on leather as well as fabric upholstery. <img> Vacuum up the baking soda. If the spill is still damp, use a wet/dry car vac. Vacuum the area thoroughly, until you can’t see any more of the baking soda.\nIf the spill has already started to smell a little sour, leave the baking soda on a bit longer before you vacuum it up. Try to let it sit for at least 60 minutes, or overnight if possible.\nFor leather upholstery, simply buff away the baking soda with a dry cloth. <img> Spray any remaining stain on fabric upholstery with a carpet cleaner. If you can still see or smell any spilled milk after you clean up the baking soda, a little carpet or upholstery cleaner may do the trick. Spray the cleaner on the area and pat it dry with a clean microfiber cloth.\nIf you’re not sure whether carpet cleaner is safe to use in your car, you can also get upholstery cleaners specifically designed for cars. Look for these cleaners in your local auto parts store or in the automotive section of a department or hardware store.\nIf you’re worried about lingering odors, follow up by spritzing the stained area with an enzyme-based odor neutralizer. Use a stain or odor remover containing protease, which can break down animal-based stains, such as milk or formula. <img> Spot clean deeper stains on leather with a leather cleaner. Leather upholstery can be sensitive to a lot of common household cleaners. If the milk has soaked into your leather car seat, rub the area with a soft, damp rag soaked in a gentle leather cleaner. Blot up any excess moisture with a clean, dry towel when you’re done, then leave the car windows open to let the spot air dry.\nYou can buy cleansers made for leather car upholstery at an auto parts store or in the automotive section of most department or hardware stores.\nYou can also make your own leather cleaner by mixing 1 part water with 1 part vinegar. <img> ",
"Vacuum the stained area thoroughly. Before you deal with old, set-in milk stains, clean up any loose dirt and grime so you don’t grind it into your car upholstery. Grab a car vac and go over the area thoroughly until you can’t see any more debris. <img> Neutralize light stains with vinegar. White vinegar can break down a variety of stains and odors, including milk. Combine 2 parts warm (but not hot) water and 1 part white vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake the bottle well to combine the water and vinegar, then spray the mixture directly on the stain. Rub the area with a soft, clean microfiber cloth, working in circular motions, until there’s no visible stain remaining.\nFor a little extra cleaning power, add 1 or 2 drops of dish soap to your vinegar solution.\nIf your car has leather upholstery, mix up a 2:1 combination of olive oil and vinegar instead of water and vinegar. Spray the cleaner onto the stain and gently buff the area with a soft cloth. <img> Use a chemical stain remover for tougher stains. Because milk contains complex proteins and fats, it can be hard to get it out with regular cleansers. However, there are a variety of stain removers on the market that can remove these types of stains without damaging your car upholstery. Look for a product such as Lightning Fast Stain Remover or Detail King Fiber Pro. Read the instructions carefully to make sure you are using the product safely and correctly.\nDepending on what kind of cleaner you’re using, you may need to wear gloves to protect your skin from irritation.\nYou can also try using a citrus-based cleaner to break down milk fats. <img> Scrub the cleaner into the stain with a scrub brush. If your car upholstery is made of fabric, use a soft-bristle scrub brush. For leather seats, you can use a medium-bristle brush. Spray your stain cleaner onto the milk stain or directly onto the brush, then buff the area with the brush to work the stain cleaner into the fabric.\nYou can also get rotating brushes that attach to a hand drill for quicker stain removal. <img> Wipe the area with a dry microfiber towel. Once you’ve scrubbed the stain thoroughly, grab a soft, clean microfiber towel and blot up any excess cleaning solution. Use a light-colored towel so you can see any dirt or discoloration on the towel as you clean.\nChoose a lint-free cloth so that you don’t leave behind fuzz and debris on your car seat or floor mat.\nMost car upholstery cleaners don’t have to be rinsed out after you apply them, but check the label on your product to be sure. For instance, you may have to wipe the area with a damp cloth after applying the cleaner. <img> Allow the upholstery to air dry. If possible, clean the stain on a dry, sunny day. When you’re done, simply leave the windows open and let any damp areas air out. If that’s not possible, you may need to put a portable dehumidifier in the car and let it run for a while with the windows and doors closed.\nYou can buy a small dehumidifier for under $30, or rent one from a home supply store.\nYou can also speed up the drying process by going over the damp spots with a hair dryer if you don’t have access to a dehumidifier. <img> Place an odor absorber in the car to soak up lingering smells. Even with a thorough cleaning, it can be hard to get the smell of spoiled milk out of your car. To tackle tough odors, try placing a commercial car odor absorber next to the spill. You can also try a variety of home remedies, such as:\nLeaving an open box of baking soda in the car, or sprinkling baking soda on the area where the stain was and leaving it overnight. Vacuum it up the next day.\nLeaving an open container of coffee beans in the car overnight.\nSetting a box of kitty litter near the spot where the smell is coming from, or sprinkling litter on the stain. <img> "

How to Rent Out a Basement | [
"ddyRy4lKm1Ww",
"67QEXhY6TvBD",

] | [
"Find out whether it's legal to rent out a basement where you live. Before you get too eager to list your basement, do some research to see whether the laws in your area permit residential basements to be leased as legal dwellings. Even if they do, there may be certain conditions in place that you'll need to abide by, such as a maximum number of residents or individual dwellings per lot.\nYou may be required to comply with numerous codes related to health and safety, as well as possibly obtaining zoning and rentals tax permission, depending upon circumstances.\nDon't forget to check your homeowner's association bylaws, as well. In many cases, they have the final say over what is and isn't allowed in the neighborhood.\nYou should be able to pull up your neighborhood homeowner's association bylaws online through your State Secretary's website. If you're having trouble finding them, ask a neighbor to supply you with a printed copy.\nIf you attempt to rent out your basement in an area where housing laws don't permit it, you may be putting yourself at risk of receiving a hefty fine. <img> Determine whether your basement is big enough to live in. Not all basements are created equal—some are luxurious hideaways while others are little more than 4 walls and a concrete floor. Measure your basement from wall to wall to find its overall size. If it’s any smaller than about 300 square feet, it probably won’t make the most comfortable living space.\nIn most places, residential basements must have ceilings that are at least 6.5–7 feet (2.0–2.1 m) in order to be considered legally inhabitable.\nA health or building inspector may require you to install and maintain proper exits and ventilation. <img> Make sure you can offer all the necessary amenities. In addition to a main living area, your basement will also need to be outfitted with a kitchenette and full bathroom, complete with a working toilet, shower, and sink. While not technically a necessity, most renters will also be looking for things like carpet, central heating and air, and cable hookups for TV and Internet access.\nLocal regulations of rentals may also require installation (if not also inspection) of proper smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.\nRenting a basement can be a good way to make a little extra money, but it can quickly become an expensive project if your space isn't up to code. In many cases, renovating an unfinished basement can cost $100,000 or more. <img> Take care of any necessary repairs. Inspect the basement thoroughly to look for anything that needs fixing or replacing. Drafty windows, loose stairs, and poor insulation are not uncommon, even in newer basements. These issues may be unattractive to prospective renters.\nIf there are any problems with your basement that you’re unwilling or unable to fix at the moment, make a note of them and be sure to mention them in the listing description later on.\nSerious issues, such as water damage or faulty wiring, should be resolved before you go any further in the rental process. <img> Deep-clean the entire basement. Vacuum the carpet, dust all surrounding surfaces, and wipe down wooden fixtures with a coat of spray-on wood polish. Hit the windows with some glass cleaner and wipe them until they sparkle. Concrete floors should be swept or even mopped if it’s been a while since they’ve been cleaned.\nUse hydrogen peroxide, diluted chlorine bleach, or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to remove stains from concrete floors.\nWhile you’re cleaning up, be sure to also find a new place for any items that you don’t want your renter to see, such as stored boxes or personal belongings. <img> Have older basements fumigated if necessary. Basements can harbor lots of unseen critters. If you have reason to believe that your basement is already home to a family of rodents or insects, it may be a good idea to pay to have it treated with pesticides. Contact a fumigation specialist in your area to learn more about the process and get advice for how to proceed.\nKeep an eye out for dead bugs, droppings, or other unusual debris that might indicate a possible infestation.\nIt can take anywhere from 5-6 hours to an entire week for toxic fumigation gases to dissipate, so make sure you schedule your pest control services long before you actually list your basement for rent.\nIf your basement is on the smaller side, you may be able to fumigate it yourself using a commercial chemical fogger. You can find these devices at most hardware stores and home improvement centers. <img> ",
"Provide a detailed description of your basement room. Include information like the square footage of the basement, the number of built-in rooms, and any included appliances or amenities. Potential renters will expect to see everything spelled out in plain writing. Being as descriptive as possible will also keep you from having to answer lots of questions once interested parties start contacting you.\nYour rental listing might say something like “Cozy 800 sq. ft. basement apartment with brand new carpet, kitchenette, and half bath w/ shower. Unit has its own ground-level door for private entry and exit. Main living area features a pleasant view of the woods.”\nAvoid overselling your space with exaggerated phrases like “Spacious, open layout” or “Luxurious wall-to-wall carpet” if these descriptions aren't accurate. If someone comes to view the room and doesn’t agree, they may decide to look elsewhere. <img> Take pictures of the space from multiple angles. Get a good wide-angle shot of the main living area, as well as each of the connected rooms and major appliances like heating and air conditioning units and plumbing fixtures. If your basement comes with any special features, such as a dehumidifier, gaming system, or baby grand piano, be sure to snap some close-ups of these, as well.\nCapturing clear, high-quality images will give renters a preview of exactly what they’ll be getting. It will also reflect well on you as the landlord, as it shows you have nothing to hide.\nIf your basement room comes furnished, rearrange items as desired to “stage” your photos and give the space more visual appeal.\nThere’s no single best number of pictures to put up along with your listing. Generally speaking, however, the more you post, the better. <img> Set a fair rental price based on similar listings. Browse listings for similarly-sized apartments online and see what the owner or realtor is asking. Use that figure to come up with a price that you think is fair given the amount of space and the level of luxury you have to offer. Depending on how large and well-appointed your basement is, this could be anywhere from $200-$1,200 per month.\nBasement apartments are typically priced lower than standalone lodgings, as they tend to be smaller and don’t offer as much in the way of privacy and independence.\nMake an effort to price your basement room competitively. It can be tempting to ask for more since it’s a part of your home, but try to keep the conditions of the local housing market in mind and be sensitive to the needs of your renter. <img> Decide whether you want to include the cost of utilities in the rent. Making your tenant partially responsible for paying for water, gas, and electricity can help subsidize your own living expenses. However, some renters may be put off by the additional cost. Ultimately, your decision may come down to the space you’re renting and how much it already has to offer.\nOne compromise might be to charge a low, flat rate (say, $50-100) for utilities that will cover the better part of your tenant’s usage while also reducing the strain on your own wallet. <img> Put your contact info at the bottom of the listing. Decide on your preferred method of communication, then provide the phone number or email address where you can most easily be reached. You might even choose to display multiple forms of correspondence, as this will allow you to field and reply to the responses you get right away.\nConsider setting up a new email account specifically to handle your rental business if you don’t want to give out your personal address to strangers. <img> Advertise your basement room on popular housing websites. Once you’ve put the finishing touches on your rental listing, post it to a site like Zillow, HotPads, or Craigslist. Thousands of people use these resources every day to track down lodging leads, so you’re sure to get plenty of eyes on your listing. They’re also free, which means you won’t be forced to spend money to make money.\nAirbnb is another convenient option if you're more interested in short-term rentals.\nIf you want your listing to reach as many eligible renters as possible, you could even take out ad space in the classifieds section of your local newspaper.\nBe aware that some well-known property rental sites, such as ForRent and Apartments.com, charge users a fee to post their listings. <img> ",
"Screen interested parties carefully. Once questions about your listing start coming in, reply promptly and use the follow-up call or email to learn a little bit about your prospective renter. Without prying, find out if they have a stable source of income, whether they're single or looking to live with a partner or roommate, and what kind of hours they keep. Your goal is to determine whether or not they’d be a desirable tenant.\nWhen it comes to finding a suitable lodger, you’re entitled to be as choosy as you want to be. After all, it’s your home, your property, and your rules. <img> Conduct a formal background check. Following your initial screening, dig a little deeper. Look up private investigation firms operating in your area and have them pull your renter's public records. Past evictions, criminal charges, and pending lawsuits should all be considered grounds for disqualification.\nMost investigation companies charge around $15-40 for a standard background check.\nIt may also be a good idea to get in touch with the renter's employer directly to get a personal assessment of their character. <img> Run a credit check. Contact a credit reporting agency and request a report on your renter. Reading through their credit history will bring red flags like sizable debt or a history of missed payments to your attention. If everything is in order, you'll have a sense of security going forward.\nIn order to request a credit report, you'll need to know the renter's full name, date of birth, social security number, and current address. Some forms may also ask for the names of their current employer and landlord.\nWhile a couple missed payments doesn't necessarily mean a person is untrustworthy, it's not recommended that you rent to anyone who has a history of serious financial problems like bankruptcy. <img> Collect a security deposit. Ask your renter for a one-time payment of a predetermined sum, which you'll hold onto as insurance for your property. Taking up a security deposit is a standard practice, and will prevent you from being left on the hook financially in the event that something is damaged or stolen.\nRead through the housing and real estate laws governing your state or territory to find out how much money you can legally demand for a deposit. Most of the time, it will be 1-2 months' rent. In some places, you may be able to ask for as much as you think is fair.\nIn places that regulate security deposits, there may be detailed rules regarding your obligations for proper documentation and handling of any security deposit. You may accidentally forfeit your right to claim (or even hold) the deposit if you fail to follow the rules. <img> Draw up a monthly lease agreement. Outline the particulars of your arrangement in writing. Details like the date and amount of payment, the maximum number of occupants, and accident and damage liability should all be spelled out in clear, easily comprehensible language. If there are any other special terms you’ve worked out verbally with your tenant, don’t forget to include them as well.\nSearch for templates online that you can modify to suit your exact needs and conditions.\nIf you’d like a little help drafting a formal lease agreement, consult a real estate attorney for assistance. <img> Lay down some house rules. When it comes time for your new renter to move in, take a moment to articulate what is and isn’t permissible on your property. They’ll need to know, for instance, if there are any other parts of the house that are strictly off-limits, or whether they’re allowed to have a pet. Make sure they understand your requests so they’ll know what’s expected of them as a tenant.\nSome other points you may want to go over with your renter include your policies on smoking, parking, illegal activity, noise, keeping doors locked, and having dates or other guests over.\nIdeally, you should make non-negotiable guidelines part of your formal lease agreement to ensure that they’re enforceable. <img> "

"Use house seasoning. Otherwise known as salt and pepper, adding a dash of this simple seasoning will improve many dishes. Add a small amount and taste as you go.\nFreshly ground salt and pepper will taste fresher and sharper than already ground versions. <img> Add a dash of a prepared seasoning. There are many varieties of prepared seasoning that can be purchased. Some are generic and suit a range of savory dishes, while others are targeted to particular foods. Follow the instructions accompanying the seasoning. <img> Make and use your own general seasoning. Seasoning mixes aren't hard to make at home in large batches for use over several months. You can be absolutely sure about what the mix contains, making this an even better option. Examples include:\nSeasoned salt\nSeasoned pepper\nChicken and rice seasoning mix\nTaco seasoning mix\n\nItalian herb seasoning. <img> ",
"Try lemon juice. Lemon juice is said to be a healthier alternative for salt. It has a tangy flavor and enhances flavors like no other.\nAdd 2 tablespoons to a salad dressing or fish dish. <img> Try lime juice. This has a milder but more distinct taste than a lemon. The bitterness can give a dish that bite it needs.\nAdd 2 tablespoons. <img> ",
"Use hot sauce. The all time favorite. It gives food a spicy, tangy flavor. It can be added to literally any dish! Add as much as you'd like. <img> Use spices to improve the flavor of both savory and sweet dishes. There are many possibilities for improving food with spice. Start by checking out How to use spices in cookery. <img> Use spices with a bit of kick to improve chill and other dishes that need a hot kick. For example, cayenne, paprika, strong black pepper, etc. <img> Improve the flavor of a bland sweet pie with spices. It's already too late to fix the pie but you can add pumpkin pie spice or similar to the whipped cream or sauce that goes with the pie. Or, add sweet spices to powdered sugar and sprinkle over every slice of pie. <img> ",
"Prefer fresh herbs over dried herbs where possible. On the whole, fresh herbs have a better flavor and will add great taste to help remove blandness from food.\nConsider growing a kitchen herb garden of your most-used herbs to make it easy to add the herbs to any dish as needed. <img> Use celery salt or celery seed. This has a strong flavor which is good for improving a bland soup or stew. <img> ",
"Add a decent dash of soy sauce. The saltiness and flavor of soy sauce will improve a bland soup, stew, stir-fry and other savory dishes that have a liquid component. <img> Add ketchup or tomato sauce. The acidic flavor adds one dimension, while any additional flavorings in the sauce will add depth to the dish too. <img> Pour in a little Worcestershire sauce. This is a strongly-flavored sauce, so don't overdo it or you'll be looking for how to tone down the flavor. Add a dash or two to soups, stews and similar savory dishes. <img> ",
"Use sherry. It can be either drinking sherry or cooking sherry; whichever, it will add flavor to bland soups, casseroles, stews, chilli, etc. <img> Add white wine. White wine can add acidity and sweetness to a bland dish. It's a good way to use up the last of a bottle.\nDry vermouth can also add flavor in the same way as white wine. <img> "

How to Tell Someone You Don't Like Them | [
"UWXUuzk1tytN",
"vg7HpUWAAeKQ",
"xiOY1IDGuTq3"
] | [
"Be direct. One way to turn someone down is to give them a simple, direct answer to a request for a date or your number. The direct approach can be good because you don't leave them hanging and because you don't leave room for ambivalence, so they can move on to someone else.\nFor example, you could use the line, \"I appreciate you asking me, but no thank you.\"\nYou could also say, \"No, I'm not looking to date right now.\"\nBe sure to make \"no\" part of your answer so you are very clear. <img> Go for an indirect answer. If you don't want to flat-out reject someone, you can answer in a roundabout way. One way you can make it more roundabout is to start out with a compliment about the person but still end with a rejection.\nFor instance, you could note, \"You seem like a good person, but I don't want to date anyone, so I'm going to say 'no.'\" <img> Try an avoidance tactic. Another option is using an avoidance tactic. In other words, you dodge the request by using a decoy of some sort to not respond directly, such as giving a fake number to the person so they don't know you're rejecting them.\nTo give out a fake number, you can just make up a number, but make sure it's not someone else's number. Also, this tactic can backfire if the person tries to call it or sees you again sometime.\nAnother option is to say you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. You can also use a friend as a pretend significant other; however, if you use this tactic, you may drive off other people, which can be a problem if you are trying to meet people. <img> Skip saying \"sorry.\" By apologizing, you're pointing out that you feel sorry for the person, which can make the rejection that much worse. Plus, you have no reason to apologize. You're simply saying that you choose not to accept their request. <img> ",
"Make sure you need to say something. That is, sometimes, it's in your best interest to just stay silent. If telling the person won't help the situation, then you may just want to leave it alone, even if the person does irritate you.\nFor instance, telling a manager you don't like them probably isn't going to be all that helpful to you. Your manager holds power over your career and can make your work life miserable, so telling a manager you don't like them isn't going to be beneficial. You might also get in trouble for insubordination.\nIn addition, you may weigh your options if the person you don't like is a family member or a friend of the family. If you're going to see the person on a regular basis, telling them you don't like them is only going to make those situations more difficult.\nSimilarly, if the person is a mutual friend with other friends, it may make social gatherings more difficult if you tell the person you don't like them.\nAlso, consider whether you're being fair in your dislike. Maybe you took an instant dislike to someone without getting to know them. Try getting to know the person better before making a snap judgment. <img> Keep it civil. No matter how you tell someone you don't want them in your life, try not to cross over into being a jerk. You can tell someone you don't enjoy their company without being mean about it, which can also help you not burn bridges.\nIf you're too brutal, you may have trouble making friends with other people. Word will get around.\nDon't be abusive or mean when you talk to the person; be as respectful and calm as possible.\nFor instance, saying, \"I can't stand to be around you.\" is pretty mean. Instead, try, \"Our values are too different, and I don't really have time for new friends.\" <img> Don't give the person an \"in.\" If you simply don't respond to a person's advances towards friendship, they'll eventually get the message. In other words, try not to engage in chatty conversation and don't agree to plans you don't want to join in on.\nAlso, try not to smile at the person. You don't have to frown, but smiling makes you more approachable.\nThis approach can lead to other people seeing you as standoffish or a snob, so be careful. <img> Try a direct approach. While the direct approach can be brutal, it can also establish right off the bat that you don't want to go any further. If you really can't stand the person, it might be better to get it out in the open; however, this can backfire, especially if you use it at work.\nYou could say something like, \"I don't think we're compatible as friends, but it was nice to meet you.\" <img> Be honest with your feelings. If this person appears to want more of a relationship than you are comfortable with, directly tell the person without being judgmental. For instance, perhaps they want a deeper friendship when you just want to stay acquaintances.\nYou might say something like: \"I'm sensing you want more friendship from me. That's more than I'm willing to give right now. If you still want to be closer friends with me in a few months, would you be willing to check back in with me then?\"\nAlternatively, you could say, \"Thanks for your kind request for friendship. You seem like a wonderful person. I'm just not interested, thanks.\" <img> ",
"Consider your goal. Decide what you want out of the situation, and then make a choice about the best course of action to achieve that goal with the least amount of tension. If you just want to see the person less, then you may not need to tell the person you don't like them. If you want to cut the person out of your life completely, it's probably best to tell them upfront rather than just ignoring them. Ask yourself questions like:\nWhat do I hope will happen when I tell this person I don't like them?\nDo I want them to leave me alone? (Then maybe I should ask for that instead.)\nDo I want to see them less? (Then maybe I should tell them I can only hangout once a month.)\nDo I want to hurt this person's feelings? Will I regret hurting their feelings afterward? <img> Be as nice as you can. Even though you're essentially rejecting someone, you shouldn't be a jerk about it. Rather, try to keep the meanness to a minimum, so that you don't leave the person feeling horrible or hopeless.\nFor example, saying, \"You're an idiot, and I don't like you,\" isn't really appropriate. Instead you could say, \"I know you'd like to hang out more, but I am not comfortable with that. I feel our beliefs are too different.\" <img> Treat a friendship like a romantic relationship. If you're trying to tell a close friend that you've grown apart, treat it like you would a romantic relationship. That is, break up with them like you would do with someone you're in a romantic relationship with.\nSitting down with them in person is the best, though you can send a letter or email if that's your only option. Establish why you want to stop being friends. Ideally, put the blame on yourself, such as \"I'm just not the same person I was, and I think we don't fit together as friends anymore.\"\nAnother option is asking to take a break. Maybe you just need some space to adjust, although taking a break can also be a way to ease the person into a more permanent break. <img> Avoid the person. While this option may not be the best, it is an option. You can simply stop returning a person's calls or avoid talking to them when you see them. They may eventually get the message that you don't want to be friends with them.\nPeople sometimes use this method in an attempt to spare the other person's feelings, but sometimes \"ghosting\" like this can actually be more confusing and hurtful, and just prolong the inevitable. The person may start to worry about you and may not understand that you're trying to end the relationship, so it's usually best to just be direct if possible.\nKnow that if you avoid the person, you may end up having to be direct in the end. They may ask if something is wrong or if you are mad or avoiding them. Prepare yourself to answer these questions.\nOne way to avoid people in person is to use work as an excuse, such as, \"I'd love to chat, but I really need to get back to work.\" <img> Be realistic. It hurts to reject a person, especially a persistent one, just as it hurts to be rejected. You're not going to get out of this situation without hurting both of your feelings; however, if the friendship is truly a bad fit, it may be time to let it go so you can both create healthier, more productive relationships. <img> "

How to Make a Diaper Cake without Rolling | [
"58f8FmbsE39n",
"4mp7GMalXycQ",
"GNSlAX4Hb8MP"
] | [
"Find several pie or cake pans in different sizes. Most diaper cakes will have about three layers, but you can do as few as one or two. If you can't find any pie pans, you can use other round, shallow containers—just make sure that the container is no more than half the diaper's height. This will make it easier to tie the diapers together later on.\nYou can use any sized pans you want, but for a standard cake, consider getting the following three sizes: 10 inch, 8 inch, and 6 inch (25.4 centimeters, 20.32 centimeters, 15.24 centimeters). <img> Start filling the largest pan first. Put a stack of diapers inside the pan. Place them sideways, with the folded part facing outwards (towards the wall of the pan). Try to use size 0 or 1 diapers. <img> Keep filling the pan with diapers to form a swirl. Try to pack them as close together as you can. As you continue to fill the pan, you'll notice the diapers begin to swirl and curl within the pan. You may notice a gap or hole towards the center of the pan. Don't worry about the hole yet.\nIf your largest pan is 10 inches (25.4 centimeters), plan on using about 20 diapers. <img> Wrap some string or a rubber band around the middle of the diaper \"cake.\" This will hold your diaper cake together. Do not use tape or glue, as this can ruin the diapers, and make them unusable for the new mom. <img> Repeat the process for the other pie pans. Use the same process to make more layers. Each layer should be smaller than the last one. Remember to tie each diaper stack with a piece of string or a rubber band.\nIf your next two pans are 8 and 6 inches (20.32 15.24 centimeters), plan on using 13 and 7 diapers respectively. <img> ",
"Pull the diaper stacks out of the pans. They will keep their shape because you tied them together, but you may still want to be careful. Set them down on a flat surface. <img> Wrap a ribbon around the middle of each cake to hide the string or rubber band. Choose a ribbon whose color matches the cake's theme or the baby's gender. Cut a piece that is 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) longer than the circumference of your cake. Wrap the ribbon around the middle of the cake. Overlap the two ends by ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Secure the two ends with a pin or a line of hot glue. Repeat for all of the stacks/layers.\nDon't pin the ribbon directly to the diapers. Also, don't get any hot glue on the diapers. <img> Stack the layers, starting with the largest layer on the bottom. Try to keep them as centered as possible. If your stacks have a hole in the middle, use that as a guideline. <img> Stick a dowel down the center of the cake. The dowel should fit right through the center hole of each stack. If not, push the dowel through each layer carefully, so that you don't pierces the diapers. Try to find a dowel that can reach through all the layers, but without sticking over the top of the cake.\nIf you can't find a short enough dowel, don't worry. You can always cover the excess dowel up by tying soft toys around it. <img> ",
"Consider the theme. If you are having difficulties choosing decorations for your cake, as the new mom what the theme for her baby shower will be. Base your cake's theme off of that. If the mom does not have a theme yet, here are some popular themes that work well for babies:\nAnimals, especially zoo animals\nTrains\nFlowers and butterflies\nTeddy bears\nOceans, such as whales and fish <img> Consider the colors. Soft and pastel colors are often associated with babies, so you might want to use those for your diaper cake. This does not mean that you have to use light blue for baby boys and pink for baby girls. There are other colors you can use too. Here are some ideas to get you started:\nMatch the colors to the baby shower's theme.\nUse pastel primary colors, such as pink, pastel yellow, and light blue.\nTry warm colors for a baby girl, or cool colors for a baby boy, but in pastel hues (so pink instead of red, and mint green instead of green).\nUse yellow or purple if the baby's gender and the shower's theme are not yet known. <img> Use items that the new mom will find useful. Diapers are not the only thing a new mom will need and appreciate. There are lots of items babies need, and you could make the new mom really happy by including some of them in your cake. When picking out decorations, consider any of the following items:\nBaby socks\nBaby wipes\nBibs and burp cloths\nChew toys\nPacifiers\nRattles\nSoft toys <img> Consider mimicking a real cake. Just because you are making a cake out of diapers and baby items does not mean that your \"cake\" shouldn't resemble a real one. There are some details you can add that will give it the feel of a real cake. Here are some ideas to get you started:\nFind some baby barrettes or hair clips with rosettes or flowers on them, and clip them to the ribbons around your cake.\nWrap some rickrack around the ribbon bands to resemble frosting. Secure it with a drop of glue.\nCut shapes out of felt (or use baby-themed iron-on patches) to resemble fondant designs. <img> Attach the decorations so that they are easily removable. Hot glue might be the most durable, but the new mom might appreciate a cake she can pull apart and use. Avoid gluing or pinning the decorations directly to the cake. Instead, consider any of the following:\nSlip thin items, such as baby wipes, behind the ribbons.\nStick pointy items, such as rattles, in between the diapers, so that they stick out like candles.\nPin soft items, such as bibs and teddy bears, to the ribbons. Be careful not to pierce the diapers themselves.\nIf the dowel was too long and sticks out of the top of the cake, consider tying some soft toys around it. This will hide the dowel and ensure that the cake topper of soft toys won't fall off. <img> Stack large items, such as soft toys, on top of the cake. Every cake needs a cake topper, and soft toys are perfect for this. Use a few pins as possible. These pins will pierce the diapers, and possibly make them unusable.\nYou can also use other items for the topper, such as baby bottles or other nice baby toys. <img> Place the finished cake on a decorated cardboard circle. Many arts and crafts stores sell decorated cardboard circles meant for cake bases. You can also use a pretty plate or cake strand instead.\nA cardboard circle or cake stand will also make the cake easier to move around. <img> "

How to Recognize a Fake Ralph Lauren | [
"lZ7OEEiUmMmN",
"KuRwrkXWwgw9",
"DzQGriisLXeE"
] | [
"Check the logo. Ralph Lauren shirts often contain a small stitched on graphic of a polo player riding a horse. On a fake Ralph Lauren, the mallet the rider holds will be more circular than rectangular. The tail will be difficult to see and the horse's right back leg will be bent. On a genuine product, the horse's tail is clearly visible and the right back leg is straight. You should also be able to clearly see the outline of the rider's leg. On replicas, the leg often lacks definition.\nAs differences can be very subtle, it helps to look up an image of the actual logo for comparison. You may also want to use something like a magnifying glass to get a very close look at the Ralph Lauren logo on your product. <img> Examine the stitching. Turn your t-shirt inside out and examine the stitching on the bottom. A genuine Ralph Lauren should have one thin line of even stitching running along the bottom of the shirt. No stitching, or jagged and uneven stitching, indicates your product is fake. <img> Look at the collar label. All Ralph Lauren products have labels under the collar indicating the size. The main collar label contains the Ralph Lauren logo and, to the right, a small tag is sticking out with the size written on it. If there is not a separate size label, the product is likely fake. The font should also be easily legible without misspellings. In addition to this, stitching along the collar should be the same color as the shirt.\nHigh quality replicas can be extremely similar to authentic size labels, so look at a picture of a genuine size label online to compare it to your shirt's label. Even small changes in the font, including changes in spacing, can indicate a fake. <img> Examine the buttons. Buttons are secured with a neat pearl and cross stitch with thread that matches the color of the shirt. A different type of stitch, mismatched thread, or loose threads indicate a fake. <img> Check the hem. Lay your shirt down a flat surface. The back hemline should be slightly longer than the front hemline. Hemlines of equal length, or a front hemline that's longer than the back, indicate a fake product. <img> Read the care label. There should be a care label somewhere near the bottom of the shirt, which contains a trademark R and neat, evenly spaced copy. Illegible copy, or the absence of an \"R,\" usually mean the product is fake.\nAs with other aspects of fake products, differences can be very subtle. It can help to look up a picture of a genuine Ralph Lauren label online to compare and contrast. <img> ",
"Check for sloppy stitching. Ralph Lauren is an expensive, high-end product. Stitching anywhere on the bag should be extremely neat and the same types of stitches should be used throughout the bag, including inside the pockets and on the underside of the bag. Inconsistent stitching and loose threads are signs of a fake product. <img> Examine the material closely. Fake purses will have a stiff feel, indicating they're made from cheaper materials than authentic products. Color may be inconsistent throughout the bag, appearing darker or lighter in certain areas. Also, designer purses do not have lining while fake purses do. <img> Check for inaccuracies in the label. The label should be stitched in. Hang tags are an obvious sign of a fake product. Fake labels often have misspellings, illegible font, and have sloppy stitching with loose threads.\nIn higher quality counterfeit products, differences may be extremely subtle. Look up a photo of a genuine Ralph Lauren label online and compare and contrast this to your bag's label. <img> Examine all the small details closely. Sometimes, small details are the only way to spot a fake product. The handles of your bag should be the same length, the logo should not be crooked, and zippers and buttons should be firmly attached and work properly.\nDesigner products tend to be very high quality. It is unlikely that a designer bag would have any obvious flaws and imperfections. <img> ",
"Contact the company directly. Ralph Lauren is invested in cracking down on counterfeits. If you have a counterfeit product, report the issue by contacting Ralph Lauren by phone at 888-475-7674 or e-mailing them at [email protected]. Let them know you think you accidentally purchased a fake product and include the details of where you bought the product. <img> Report any local counterfeiters to the police. If you bought a product from a local supplier, report the issue to the local authorities. If a business in your area is selling counterfeit products, the local police may want to investigate the matter themselves. The police may also be able to get you a refund for a counterfeit product. <img> Stick to purchasing merchandise directly from Ralph Lauren. If you purchase products directly from Ralph Lauren stores or their website, this is a surefire way to get a genuine product. You can also purchase products at popular department stores that have a known relationship with the Ralph Lauren brand. <img> "

How to Replace a Bike Hub | [
"EEDjdBVEUVbT",
"6GjxVcAr66KO",
"gT81saHeZZvB"
] | [
"Remove the wheel from the bike. If you're working on a front wheel, pull the quick-release lever on the axle and lift the wheel out of the socket. If you're working on a rear tire, unloop the chain from the freewheel and then hit the release lever.\nIf your bike doesn't have a quick-release lever, then you'll have to unscrew the axle nut with a wrench instead. Tighten the wrench around the nut on the side of the axle and turn it counterclockwise. When the nut loosens, unscrew it by hand. Then pull the wheel out of its socket. <img> Remove the nut and spring on the skewer in the middle of the hub. Hold the wheel upright and grab the skewer, which runs through the middle of the wheel, from both sides. Turn the nut on the side of the skewer counterclockwise until it comes off. There is also a spring under the nut, so make sure you get that as well. Then pull the skewer out from the other side.\nPut the spring and nut back onto the skewer in the order you removed them in so the whole piece stays together. Then put it somewhere safe while you continue to work. This helps you avoid losing pieces. <img> Remove the freewheel if you’re working on a back tire. The freewheel is the piece with the bike gears that holds the chain. Take a freewheel remover and slide it over the nut holding the freewheel on. Use a wrench and turn the tool counterclockwise to free the nut. Then lift off the freewheel and store it safely.\nFreewheel removers might come in different sizes, so match the size to your bike. You could also buy a set of removers that should fit most bikes.\nThe freewheel is sometimes called a cassette.\nThere are other ways to remove the freewheel as well. Use could hold the freewheel in place with a chain whip and unscrew the nut with a socket wrench. <img> Remove the lock nut on one side of the axle. You’ll need 2 wrenches for this task. Lock one wrench below the nut to hold the axle in place. Use the other to turn the nut counterclockwise until it comes off.\nOnce the screw loosens, you can unscrew it the rest of the way by hand.\nThis part is much easier if you lock the wheel in place with a vise. Turn the wheel so the nut faces up, and lock the other side of the axle into a vise. <img> Pull the spacer and cone off of the axle. There are 2 more pieces on the axle below the nut. The spacer is a metal tube directly after the nut. Pull this off first. Then turn the cone counterclockwise to pull it off.\nKeep all of these pieces in a safe place so you don’t loose them. <img> Use a magnet to pull out all the ball bearings. Once you remove the cone, you’ll expose the ball bearings underneath. These are small metal balls sitting in grease and surrounding the hub opening. Use a magnet and pull them all out. Put them aside in a safe place.\nYou could also work the bearings out with a screwdriver if you don’t have a magnet. Be careful not to lose track of them.\nCount how many ball bearings you remove. That way, you’ll know if you lost one when you’re putting them back. <img> Pull the axle out of the hub. First, put a rag under the wheel to catch any ball bearings on the other side that might fall out. Then pull the axle out of the hub. Use a magnet to take out the ball bearings on the other side of the tire. <img> Remove the freehub body with a 10mm Allen key. This is the tube that holds the axle and ball bearings. Insert a 10mm Allen key into the slot in the middle of the hub and turn it counterclockwise. Pull it out and place it to the side with the other parts. <img> ",
"Inspect all of the parts for nicks, dings, or scratches. Once you’ve removed all the parts, you can decide if they need a simple cleaning or total replacement. Check the axle, nuts, bearings, hub body, and cones for damage. If they have deep scratches, dings, or other nicks, then replace them with new parts. If they aren’t damaged, then they just need a cleaning.\nYou can get all of these individual pieces at bike shops. Bring the old parts in so an employee can match them with new parts. <img> Soak all of the old parts in paint thinner. Fill a jar or can with basic paint thinner. Then, put all of the parts you removed into the jar and let them soak for about 5 minutes. When you pull the parts out, wipe each one down with a rag to remove any remaining grease.\nPaint thinner could irritate your skin. If you get any on your skin, wash it off normally with soap and water. Contact your doctor if you notice any irritation, itching, or burning.\nIf you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while handling paint thinner.\nYou could also use other degreasing solvents like mineral spirits to clean the parts. <img> Wipe off any grease in the hub with a rag and paint thinner. Inspect the hub for obstructions or damage. In most cases, grease and dirt will be built up inside it. Dip a rag into paint thinner and wipe around the exterior of the hub. Then poke the rag through the hub opening to clean the interior.\nIf the hub is dented or out of shape, the wheel may need total replacement. Bring it to a bike shop for an assessment. <img> Dry all of the parts with a clean rag. If any of the parts have paint thinner on them, it’ll dissolve the new grease and prevent it from lubricating the hub. Take a dry rag that you haven’t used for any paint thinner and wipe down all the parts, including the inside of the hub. <img> ",
"Reinstall the freehub body with a 10mm Allen key. Slide the freehub body through the hub opening. Then insert a 10mm Allen key into the slot and turn it clockwise to tighten the freehub. <img> Apply grease to each side of the hub to house the bearings. Use a grease injector and squeeze dabs of grease around the hub opening. Make sure the grease doesn’t go above the hub border. Then, flip the wheel over and apply grease to the other side.\nThere are several types of bicycle grease available, but lithium-based grease is best to prevent water intrusion and rusting. <img> Drop one bearing at a time into the grease. Take one bearing at a time and press it into the grease. Continue pressing down bearings until you fill all the space around the hub. Then do the same on the other side.\nRemember to place the same number of bearings on each side as you removed. That’s why counting them is important.\nDropping the bearings in with a pair of tweezers helps you place them more precisely and avoids getting grease on your hands. <img> Rebuild one side of the axle with the cone, spacer, and nut. Take the axle and first replace the cone. Screw the cone down to the bottom of the threaded part of the axle. Then drop the spacer on. Finish by screwing the nut onto the end.\nIf you have trouble tightening the pieces by hand, use 2 wrenches. Lock one wrench around the cone and another around the nut, then turn the one around the nut clockwise. This tightens the whole section. <img> Insert the axle into the wheel. Hold the axle by the end nut and drop it through the hub. Press it into the grease lining the hub so it sticks. <img> Replace the parts on the other side of the axle. Flip the wheel around to expose the other side of the axle. Then replace the cone, spacer, and nut the same way on this side. Tighten up the pieces with a wrench.\nSpin the axle after you’ve replaced all the pieces. It should turn smoothly, without any resistance. If the action seems jerky or tight, loosen the nut a bit. <img> Reinstall the freewheel if you were working on a back wheel. Take the freewheel you removed and spin it onto the wheel clockwise. Then place the freewheel remover back onto the freewheel nut and turn it clockwise this time to tighten the part. <img> Slide the skewer back through the axle. Take the skewer and remove the same nut and spring that you took off at the beginning. Slide the skewer through the axle until it stops. Then, put the spring back on and screw the nut onto the end. Tighten it up with a wrench so it won't fall off.\nBe careful taking the nut off the skewer or the spring could fly out. <img> Put the wheel back on the bike. Once all the pieces are reattached, press the wheel back into its socket on the bike. Make sure you have a tight fit, then press the quick-release lever down to lock the wheel in place.\nIf you were working on a rear wheel, loop the chain back around the freewheel.\nIf your bike doesn't have quick-release levers, then press the wheel into the socket and attach a nut to the end of the axle. Tighten it up so the wheel is secure.\nAlternatively, if you want to buy a bike, think about the purpose for which you are buying it.\nThink whether you will use the bike for transportation, shopping, or recreational rides for fun and fitness.\nConsider your budget. Find a bike that is the right size that fits you correctly. <img> "

How to Tell if an Egg is Bad | [
"HD5Y3xcwuCbK",
"1r2FlNhuD8ec",
"FIlx1scmvTko"
] | [
"Place the egg in question in a bowl or wide glass of cold water and see if it floats. There is a tiny air pocket inside eggs, and over time more and more air passes through their porous shells and into the egg. As more air enters the egg, the air pocket grows larger, making the egg more buoyant.\nIf the egg lays on its side on the bottom of the bowl, it is at peak freshness.\nIf the egg stands upright on one end but is still touching the bottom, it is aging past its prime but is still safe to eat.\nIf the egg is floating, it is not a fresh egg. This does not necessarily mean it’s bad or unsafe to eat. You should test the egg by cracking it open and looking for (or smelling) signs that it has gone bad. <img> Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it, listening for a sloshing sound. As the egg ages and moisture and carbon dioxide escapes through the shell, the yolk and white begin to dry out and shrink, and the air pocket in the egg becomes bigger. A larger air pocket gives the egg more room to move around inside the shell and create a sloshing sound.\nA fresh egg should not make much, if any, sound when you shake it.\nA sloshing egg only indicates that the egg is old and does not mean the egg is unsafe for consumption. <img> Crack the egg open on a plate or in a large bowl and check the quality of the yolk and white. The integrity of the egg will lessen as it ages, so it won't hold together as well as a fresh egg. Notice if the egg seems to spread over a wide distance on the plate, or if it stays relatively compact. An egg that spreads or seems a little watery has a thinner white and is past its peak freshness.\nIf the yolk is flat and breaks easily, the egg is old.\nIf the yolk moves around easily, this means the chalazae (the thicker strands of egg white that hold the yolk in place) have weakened and the egg is aging.\nLook at the color of the egg white. A cloudy white indicates a very fresh egg. A clear white means the egg is older (but may still be edible). <img> ",
"Break the egg open and notice if it smells. This is the best indicator of a bad egg. A bad egg will have a pungent, foul odor when you break it open. The sulfurous smell will be obvious as soon as the egg is cracked (and possibly before), and the egg should be thrown out.\nA bad egg will have this foul smell, regardless of whether it is raw or cooked. <img> Break the egg into a small dish and inspect the color. The color of the yolk will change based on the diet of the hen who laid it, so the shade of yellow or orange nothing to do with freshness. Instead, inspect the egg white, or albumen. If it is pink, green, or iridescent, the egg has been contaminated by Pseudomonas bacteria and is not safe to eat. If you see black or green spots inside the egg, it has been contaminated by fungus and should be thrown away.\nIf the yolk of a hard-cooked egg has a green ring around it, this means the egg has been overcooked or was cooked in water with a high iron content. This egg is still safe to eat.\nIf there is a blood or meat spot on the egg, it is still safe to eat and does not mean the egg is contaminated or has gone bad. A blood spot occurs when a blood vessel ruptures when the egg is forming and has nothing to do with freshness. <img> ",
"Check the \"sell-by\" date on the package. The sell-by date may also appear as \"not to be sold after\" or \"EXP.\" This date is, at most, 30 days from the day the eggs were packaged. Eggs that are kept refrigerated and are not broken should be good for at least 1 month beyond the sell-by date.\nThe sell-by date appears as month/day in the United States. So eggs that must be sold by March 15th are labeled 03/15.\n\"Sell-by\" refers to the last date the eggs should be available for the public to purchase. Eggs should be pulled from the shelf after this date. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. <img> Check the \"best-by\" date on the package. The best-by date may also be labeled as \"use by,\" \"use before,\" or \"best before.\" The best-by label must be within 45 days of the date the eggs were packaged. Try to use these eggs within two weeks after the best-by date.\n\"Best-by\" refers to the period of time eggs are at their peak freshness, with the best texture, flavor, and binding and thickening properties. It does not mean the eggs are bad or rotten after this date. <img> Use the 3-digit code that tells you when the eggs were packaged. Sell-by or best-by dates are not required by federal law (some states require them, other states forbid them), but all eggs must be labeled with the date they were packaged. This date usually appears as a 3 digit code using the Julian date calendar. This means eggs packaged on January 1st would be labeled 001, eggs packaged on October 15th would be labeled 288, December 31st 365.\nLook for the Julian date on the end of the carton. You'll see the plant code (a letter P followed by numbers) indicated where the eggs were packaged, and beside it you should find the Julian code.\nThe European Union also requires that eggs are marked with a pack date. Even if eggs are sold loose and not in a marked carton, the consumer should have access to that information. <img> Throw out any eggs that have been refrigerated and then sat out at room temperature for two hours or more. Once an egg has cooled in your refrigerator, it is important to keep it at the same temperature. A cool egg in a warmer environment begins to sweat, which can encourage bacteria to grow on the outside of the egg. Because the egg shell is porous, it is sometimes possible for the bacteria on the shell to pass into through and contaminate the egg.\nTo prevent temperature fluctuations, store your eggs in the coldest part of your refrigerator, not on the door. The temperature is more likely to fluctuate on the door when it is opening and closing, which may cause your eggs to sweat.\nIf you receive your eggs unwashed and at room temperature, they do not need to be refrigerated. Many countries, including most European countries, keep their eggs at room temperature. This is safe because eggs are laid with a protective \"bloom\" which naturally keeps bacteria out. Once the eggs are washed, however, they must be refrigerated. Also, in most European countries, the hens have been inoculated against Salmonella prior to laying their eggs. <img> Use the packaging guidelines of your country to determine how long to keep your own eggs. If you have egg-laying hens and you're wondering when they will go bad, you can refer to your country's guidelines for freshness. It's a safe bet your eggs will be good for at least two months, if not more.\nIf you're not sure how long you've had your fresh eggs or if you think they are older than two months, learn the signs of bad and old eggs to help you decide whether or not you should use them in your cooking. <img> "

"React as soon as you hear your smoke alarm go off. If you hear your smoke detector or alarm going off and see fire, try to exit your home as safely as possible. Do not try to grab your phone, valuables, or your other important possessions. Your only concern is to get out of there as fast as possible. Nothing else is as important as this. You should be getting yourself and your family members out safely. If it's nighttime, yell loudly to get everyone up. You may only have less than a minute to escape safely, so ignore all secondary concerns that have nothing to do with staying alive. If you have escaped from a home fire, remember once you get out stay out and dial Triple Zero (000) or 911, depending on where you live. <img> Safely exit through doors. If you see smoke under a door, then you cannot go out that door, because smoke is toxic and fire is sure to follow. If you don't see smoke, put the back of your hand up to the door to make sure it doesn't feel hot. If the door feels cool, then open it slowly and pass through it. If your door is open and there is a fire preventing you from exiting the room, close the door to protect yourself from the fire.\nIf the door is hot or there's smoke under it and there are no other doors to pass through, you will have to try to escape through a window. Be careful!\nDo NOT break a window except as an absolute last resort. Aside from a risk of injury, this could actually make the fire much worse by providing an extra burst of oxygen that cannot subsequently be stopped. <img> Protect yourself from smoke inhalation. Get low to the floor and crouch or crawl on your hands and knees to evade the smoke. Though you may think that running is faster, encourage your family members to crouch or crawl, too. Smoke inhalation causes people to become disoriented and can even render a person unconscious. Knowing this, you should cover your nose and mouth if you have to walk by or through a heavily smoke-filled room.\nYou can also place a shirt or a wet rag over your nose and mouth, but only if you have time. This will only buy you a minute or so, which is not a lot of time, but it does help to filter those products of combustion which lead to smoke inhalation. <img> Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch fire. If your clothes catch fire, immediately stop what you're doing, drop flat to the ground, and roll around until you put the fire out. Rolling around will smother the fire quickly. Cover your face with your hands as you're rolling to protect yourself.\nAvoid wearing synthetic fibers, as these can melt and stick to skin causing severe burns. <img> Ward off the smoke if you can't get out. If you can't escape your home and are waiting for help, don't panic. You may not be able to get out, but you can still take some measures to ward off the smoke and stay safe. Close your door and cover all vents and cracks around it with cloth or tape to keep the smoke out for as long as you can. Whatever you do, don't panic. You can always reclaim some measure of control, even if you feel trapped. <img> Call for help from a second story window. If you are trapped in your second story room in the event of a fire, do what you can to get yourself to an area where people will be able to hear you or see you. You can take a sheet or something else - white preferably - and hang it out the window to signify that you need help when the first responders get there. Be sure to close the window -- leaving it open draws the fire towards the fresh oxygen. Put something down, such as a towel (or anything that you can find), to prevent the smoke from coming underneath the door. <img> Escape from a second story window if you can. If you have a two-story house, you should have an escape ladder that you can throw out in case a fire or other problem happens. If you really must get out of the window, look for a ledge and if there is a ledge, you can get yourself out onto the ledge facing the building. Always face the building structure when exiting a window on an upper floor. From a second story, if you have to hang, you might get closer to the ground and you could potentially let go and fall to safety.\nThe truth of the matter is that you are probably a lot safer staying put and trying to compartmentalize by closing doors between you and the fire, preventing the smoke from coming into the room, and putting something over your nose and mouth to filter the air and hoping for the best. <img> ",
"Do a head count. If anybody is missing, only re-enter the building if it is safe to do so. Tell the first responders immediately on their arrival if you are afraid somebody is missing. Likewise, if everybody is accounted for, let the fire responders know so that they're not sending people in endangering their lives looking for others. <img> Call your local emergency services number. Call 911 in North America, 000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand and 999 in the UK or 112 from your mobile (this number has priority on the mobile phone network in the UK as too many 999 calls are made unintentionally) 112 is the emergency number in all of Europe and will be directed to the local emergency number by the network if necessary. Use your cellphone or call from a neighbor's house. <img> Do an injury assessment. After making the call and the resources are coming, it is time to check yourself and family members to make sure that there are no injuries. If there are, do what you can to address that and when the fire department arrives, you can ask for directions and help. <img> Get away from the structure. Keep a safe distance between you and the fire. Take the necessary measures after the house fire to be safe. <img> ",
"Form and practice your family's escape plan. The best way to prevent house fires is for your family to have a plan of escape in the event of a fire. You should form your plan and practice it at least twice a year to get comfortable with the routine and to ensure that you'll be clear-headed enough to carry out your plan if the time ever comes. Here are some things to keep in mind as you do this:\nPlan to find two ways to escape from each room. You should always look for a second way out in case the first way is blocked. For example, if a door is blocked, you should find a way out through a window or a different door.\nPractice escaping by crawling, being in the dark, and having your eyes closed. <img> Make sure your home is prepared. To make sure that your home is prepared for a house fire, check that your smoke detectors are functioning and always have fresh batteries, and make sure that your windows can be easily opened and that their screens can be quickly removed. If you have windows with security bars, they must have quick release devices to allow them to be opened right away. Everyone in your family should know how to open and close these windows. If your home is prepared for a house fire, you'll greatly improve your chances of staying safe during one.\nBuy collapsible ladders that are made by a nationally recognized laboratory (such as the Underwriters Laboratory, UL), in case you'll need them to get down from the roof. <img> Practice safe behaviors. To prevent your house from catching fire in the first place, there are some safety precautions that you should take:\nTeach your children that fire is a tool, not a toy.\nAlways be in the kitchen when you're cooking something. Don't leave cooking food unattended.\nDo not smoke in the house. Make sure you put out your cigarettes completely.\nDispose of any electronics with frayed wires, which could lead to a fire.\nAvoid lighting candles unless they're directly in your light of vision. Do not leave a lighted candle in a room where no one is.\nalways check that you have turned the gas off before leaving the kitchen.\ntry to use a lighter instead of matchsticks. <img> "

How to Deal With a Rude Family Member | [
"gCGGP59WHrwc",
"OwwUnJ2FKlZJ",
"eQYY6ospAr2e"
] | [
"Go to a different location. While it may be unavoidable, large family gatherings usually require a large space. Get away from any rude family members by simply changing locations. Be polite and greet him with a handshake and a smile; you're not obligated to engage in anything more.\nStay out of earshot. Even if you change locations, you may still be able to hear something infuriating. Be sure to move into a room where his voice will be muffled or close the door of the room he is in.\nIf it is a family member that you will see every day like your sibling, schedule yourself to limit your time with him. For example, join extra-curricular activities after school so you won't have to be at dinner with your rude younger brother. <img> Change the topic if you get into an uncomfortable conversation. Many times rude people are simply trying to get attention by eliciting a reaction. If you know what topics she enjoys evoking, avoid them by bridging to a more neutral conversation that won't require her opinion or reaction.\nFor example, steer clear of her political views and talk about topics that you know she enjoys and remains positive about like her recent home improvements. Say something like, “That is a difficult issue that I'd like to read more about before I place my vote. Speaking of reading, I read an article on how to build a really great deck. How long did it take you to build yours?”\nIf it is a family member that you have to interact with every day, keep cordial. Talk about common interests or dislikes to form a bond. <img> Distract him with an activity. Depending on the size of the family gathering, there may be opportunities to break away and start an activity. Large family gatherings may need people to help supervise children, prepare the meal, or clean the location. Delegating a job that he enjoys will keep him occupied.\nFor example, ask for help with your car, home renovation tips, or playing sports with the kids.\nBe careful not to include him in an activity where he could offend more people. If you ask him to participate in an activity with a lot of social interaction, you could be fueling a volatile situation.\nKeep busy around the house or take up a new hobby to stay away from any rude siblings. Better yet, fuel the interest or support the hobby of your rude family member. For example, if your rude brother likes a certain type of book or video game, buy him several of that genre to keep her occupied. <img> ",
"Be clear about what's acceptable. Determine what bothers you about this family member. Be rational and analyze your own thoughts openly and honestly. If it helps, try saying your thoughts aloud to a trusted friend or another family member. Always sleep on your emotions for several days to ensure they are accurate and not irrational.\nRecognizing how you feel will help you tailor a solution to the problem. <img> Organize your thoughts and plan to communicate rather than argue. Writing down what you want to say allows you to construct a coherent and rational communication plan.\nBegin with a flow chart or brainstorm your thoughts and emotions.\nPractice and rehearse what you will say. Whether you talk in front of a mirror or go over your talking points with other family members, get comfortable speaking about this issue and being in a hostile scenario. <img> Articulate your frustration. Silence enables bad behavior. Other family members may not be comfortable stepping in. Have a frank discussion and let her know how her behavior is affecting you and the rest of the family.\nTake a deep breath before and during the confrontation. Keep calm when delivering news that the person may see as accusatory. Open body language and a friendly demeanor can help defuse their defensiveness.\nRemember people who are rude may be in denial or become defensive.\nUse \"I-statements\", to express how you feel rather than starting a statement with \"you\". Don't place blame but rather state clearly how you feel while listening to what they have to say. <img> Communicate what actions need to take place in order to rectify the situation. Make sure to choose your words carefully and not to escalate the emotions with an angry or elevated tone.\nFor example, if you are confronting your younger brother, say something similar to, \"I don't appreciate your snarky and sarcastic comments. There's a time and place for jokes. It's fine to joke around with your friends, or with me when we are watching tv, but please don't say things that will upset mom and dad. Don't say things at the dinner table, especially after they've both had a long day.\" <img> Schedule a convenient time and pick a quiet place. You may escalate the situation if you confront your family member in front of others because they may feel embarrassed and will want to lash out. Choose a place where you can present yourself as equals.\nScheduling around her can ensure that she doesn't feel blindsided or rushed for a response. Scheduling shows that you are considerate of her time and that you have thought about this conversation enough to prioritize it. <img> Empathize with his situation. Be objective and don't let any emotions cloud your judgment. Make it a priority to get to know your family member more before you confront him. Perhaps he is rude because he had a tough upbringing or because he feels insecure about his accomplishments relative to the rest of the family.\nDon't broach difficult topics by becoming rude yourself. For example, if she often references how much you make compared to her, let her know that you know how hard it's been for her and her family. Offer advice and let her know that you know where she's coming from with an example of how you had to move up to get to where you are financially.\nSay something like, \"Am I misreading you? You're coming off very rude. Please let me know if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying or let me know why you're upset. I'm here to listen and make sure I understand what you're saying.\" <img> ",
"Ask relatives who have a better rapport with him to confront him about his behavior. Family dynamics can be complex so seek out the best person suited to confront your rude family member. Use other family members as a buffer. Speak to his closest confidants so you don't have to confront him yourself.\nFor example, he may have a closer relationship with his cousin than his brother or a closer relationship with his grandfather than his father. Have someone he respects speak with him. <img> Speak to your relatives to see if her actions have affected them as well. Make sure that her rudeness is actually a problem and not just you being overly sensitive. Ask them one-on-one and assure them that you just want to make sure that everyone in the family is treated with respect.\nSome family members won't want to create unnecessary drama. Make sure you have the approval of the majority of your family. <img> Be an example of good behavior. Be kind and respect every family member. Just because he is rude doesn't mean you should reciprocate. Take the higher road and keep a pleasant demeanor to diffuse any negative situations.\nDon't use up valuable emotional and mental resources by dwelling on what you can't control. Focus on what makes you happy about your family and look to strengthen these bonds and enjoy the moments you have with them. <img> "

How to Eat Cheese | [
"ov3vVgCQXJxj",
"MYROyGdU6PJm",
"WHTlyvnaxbUA",
"8HI6eU6zhlut"
] | [
"Eat cheese from mildest to strongest if it is served on a platter. In general, soft, creamy cheeses are milder than hard ones. If you are unsure which cheese is mild and which cheese is sharp, ask the host.\nIf you start out with a sharp cheese, your taste buds will be overwhelmed, and you might miss out on the underlying flavors of any mild cheese you eat afterwards.\nMake sure that you use a different knife for different types of cheese so that you don't mix flavors. <img> Eat cheese at room temperature to help bring out the flavors and textures. About an hour before you plan on serving or eating the cheese, take it out of the fridge, but keep it in its wrapper so that it doesn't dry out. Keep in mind that in warmer climates, the cheese will reach room temperature sooner. You don't want the cheese to become so warm that it starts to melt and \"sweat.\"\nTake hard cheeses, such as Cheddar, out of the fridge an hour to an hour and a half before serving/eating.\nTake soft, creamy cheeses, such as Brie, out of the fridge two to three hours before serving/eating.\nTake fresh cheeses, such as cottage cheese, out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving/eating. <img> Peel or cut the rind off of hard cheeses. The rind is usually hard and waxy. Examples of cheeses where you should peel/cut the rind off include Cheddar, Gruyere, and Romano. <img> Don't be afraid to eat the rind from soft, creamy cheeses. This rind is usually soft and white. Examples of cheeses where you can eat the rind include Camembert and Brie. <img> Consider sniffing the cheese discretely before you eat it. Just don't make a huge show of it. Smelling is a big part of tasting. It can actually help intensify the taste of the cheese. <img> Use bread and crackers sparingly, and mostly as a palate cleanser. When you smoosh cheese onto bread or crackers, you tamper with the unique flavor of the cheese. If you really want to appreciate the taste of the cheese, eat it alone. <img> ",
"Know how to pair wine and cheese. Wine makes a perfect accompaniment to cheese. It can help bring out its flavors. There are certain types of wines, however, that work better with certain types of cheese. This section will give you some tips and ideas on how to most effectively pair wine with cheese. <img> Pair soft and fresh cheeses with crisp white wines. You can also pair them with dry aperitif wines, dry Rosé wines, sparkling wines, and light-bodied reds that have low tannins. Avoid tannic red wines, such as Bordeaux, Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.\nExamples of soft and fresh cheeses include Brie, Brillat-Savarin, Bûcheron, Burrata, Camembert, Chèvre, Crottin, Feta, Halloumi, Mozzarella, and Ricotta.\nWines that go will with soft and fresh cheeses include Albariño, Beaujolais, Cava, Chablis, Chardonnay (unoaked), Champagne, Chenin Blanc, Fino sherry, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner,Lambrusco, Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris, Provençal rosé, Riesling (dry to sweet), Sauvignon Blanc, and White Port. <img> Pair semi-hard and medium-aged cheeses with medium-bodied wines. You can also pair them with fruity red wines and vintage sparkling wines. Aperitif wines that have a mixture of acidity, fruity undertones, and tannins also work.\nExamples of semi-hard and medium-aged cheeses include Edam, Emmental, Gruyère, Havarti, Jarlsberg, Manchego, Monterey Jack, Tomme d'Alsace, and young Cheddar.\nWines that go well with semi-hard and medium-aged cheeses include Amontillado sherry, Barbera, Beaujolais, Champagne, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, red Burgundy, Riesling (off-dry), Tawny Port (young), white Bordeaux, white Burgundy, white Rhône blends, Viognier, vintage Port, and Zinfandel. <img> Pair hard, aged cheeses with full-bodied white wines. Tannic red wines and oxidative wines also work. These wines help off-set the cheese's strong, often nutty flavors.\nExamples of hard, aged cheeses include Aged Cheddar, Asiago, Cheshire, Comté, aged Gouda, aged Gruyère, Manchego, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino.\nWines that go well with of hard, ages cheeses include Aged white Burgundy or Bordeaux, Barbaresco, Barolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, California red blends, Madeira, Nebbiolo, Oloroso sherry, Petite Sirah, red Burgundy, red Bordeaux, red Port, red Rhône blends, Sauternes, sweet Riesling, Tawny Port, white Rhône blends, Viognier, Vin Jaune, vintage Champagne, and Zinfandel. <img> Pair salty, blue cheeses with sweet wines. This helps create a delightful contrast that brings out the best flavors of both the wine and the cheese. Blue cheeses are instantly recognizable for their blue-veined texture and salty taste.\nExamples of blue cheeses include Bleu d'Auvergne, Cambozola, Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton.\nWines that go well with blue cheese include Banyuls, Oloroso sherry, red Port, Recioto, Sauternes, Tawny Port, and Tokaji. <img> Pair stinky cheeses with light-bodied wines. Because of their strong odor, stinky cheeses such as Époisses, Morbier, and Taleggio need an aromatic wine to help balance them out. Consider pairing such cheeses with any of the following wines: Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Riesling, red Burgundy, or Sauternes. <img> Know how to pair wines with cheese platters. When you have a platter filled with different types of cheese, it might be difficult to pick out a wine that works with all the different flavors. Any of the following wines work well with cheese platters. They also pair well with most types of cheeses:\nAlsatian Gewürztraminer\nChampagne\nRiesling, especially off-dry\nSparkling wines, from dry to sweet <img> ",
"Try adding some fruit, but stay away from citrus. Most cheeses actually go well with sweet items, such as fruit. The next time you are eating or serving cheese, consider choosing two to three types of fruit to go with it.\nTry dried fruit with hard cheeses, such as apricots, cherries, and figs.\nTry fresh fruit with fresh cheeses, such as apples, dates, figs, apricots, and plums. <img> Try adding some nuts. They help bring out the sweet notes in cheese. Almost any type of nut pairs well with cheese, but many people seem to enjoy almonds, hazelnuts, and toasted pecans. <img> Consider eating or serving a variety of cheeses. Cheese does not have to be paired with just fruit, nuts, or wine. You can also pair different types of cheese together. The next time you are eating or serving cheese, consider pairing three to five different types of cheese, all with different textures and flavors. Just remember to start eating the mildest cheeses first, and work your way towards the sharper ones. For example, you could try:\nA soft, creamy cheese, such as Brie.\nA nutty, textured cheese, such as Comté.\nA dry, hard, aged goat cheese. <img> Try baking Brie with honey. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176.7°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wedge or wheel of Brie on top of the parchment paper. Drizzle the cheese with some honey. If you want, you can top the cheese with other goodies, such as dried cranberries, figs, rosemary, thyme, or walnuts/pecans. Bake the cheese until it is soft, then serve immediately with crackers.\nBake wedges for 5 to 7 minutes.\nBake wheels for 8 to 10 minutes.\nBe aware that some ovens are more powerful then others, and can over or under bake your cheese <img> Experiment with adding grated or shredded cheese to your meals to make them more savory. Adding a handful of grated or shredded cheese to your meals can give them extra texture and a hint of flavor. Here are some ideas to get you started:\nScrambled eggs and omelets\nBaked potatoes and mashed potatoes\nFrench fries (with Cheddar and bacon bits)\nTortilla chips (Mexican cheese blend with sour cream and salsa)\nSalads (Caesar salad pairs well with Parmesan) <img> ",
"Consider the formality of the event and the texture of the cheese. Depending on how formal or informal the event is, there will be different etiquette expectations. How the cheese is served will also make a difference. This section will give you a few tips to help you prevent committing any faux pas. <img> Know proper etiquette for formal events. Most formal events will supply small plates for guests. These plates are there for a reason. When you decide to go and sample some cheeses, take one of the plates with you. You will be loading the cheese onto your plate first. <img> Spread soft cheese onto crackers with a knife. Eat the cracker with your fingers, but take care to avoid touching the cheese. This is vital at formal events. <img> Use a toothpick to transfer hard cheeses from the serving platter to your plate. You can use a fork to eat the cheese directly, or you can place the cheese on a cracker first, then eat the cracker with your fingers. This is very important for formal events.\nIf you see any crackers or fruit served alongside the cheeses, don't hesitate to pluck a few up and drop them onto your plate. <img> Eat sliced cheese with a fork if it is served alongside a meal, such as pie. If you are at an informal event, you might find cheese served alongside the rest of your meal. Simply eat it with a fork, and not your fingers. <img> Eat cheese with your fingers only if it is an informal event. If a cheese is cut into cubes and speared with toothpicks, eat the cheese with your fingers. If the cheese is cut into slices, transfer it to a cracker, and eat the cracker with your fingers. <img> "

How to Get a Six Pack (for Girls) | [
"zcuRG7ch49FO",
"l4859CrDrdIX"
] | [
"Create a balanced diet! Eat plenty of protein to build those ab muscles. Avoid sugar altogether and reduce your caloric intake.\nInclude plenty of:\nLean meat, such as beef, fish, chicken, or turkey.\nLean protein, such as eggs and soybeans (tofu) or other beans.\nAntioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as spinach, kale, blueberries, or strawberries.\nNuts and seeds, such as walnuts and sunflower seeds (unsalted).\nWhole grains, such as oatmeal or whole-grain pasta.\n\nTry to avoid:\nFast-foods.\nRich sauces, heavy cream, ice cream, desserts and carbohydrates (bread, starches, etc.).\nSweets, such as candies, cakes, and pastries.\nProcessed foods, such as sweet breakfast cereals, chips, or fish sticks high in sodium.\n\nTry not to eat right before you go to bed. Food that gets consumed right before bed often doesn't have enough time to get metabolized by your body, and so is converted directly into fat. Avoid those late-night snacks! <img> Drink plenty of water. A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 liters daily in most instances but most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. Drinking water also prevents you from drinking other alternatives which contain calories while still keeping you hydrated.\nCut out all sugary drinks from your diet! Sugary drinks — even those like Diet Coke, or Coke Zero — will not contribute to your overall health like plain, filtered water will. You don't have to be fanatical about it but try to avoid soft drinks as a general rule.\nDrink green tea! Green tea is packed with antioxidants, which are instrumental in curbing free radicals — cells in your body that attack other cells and contribute to aging. Without sugar, green tea is a great way to get some fluids and antioxidants into your body, and it does not contain any calories.\nDrink a big glass of water or green tea right before a meal. This will give your stomach the illusion of being full, which means that you're likely to eat less. <img> Eat small portions of food in regular intervals. Shoot to eat about 5-7 times a day, just with really small portions. For a snack, go for a banana and some walnuts, or a small bit of Caprese salad. Your biggest meal of the day should be before mid-day. <img> ",
"Do the plank exercise. The plank exercise is one of the most reliable, deceptively simple ways to give great definition to your abs. All you need is a flat surface, a little bit of time, and some serious gumption as you feel the burn.\nGet down in the prone position. The tips of your toes and your forearms — from the bottom of your elbow to your balled-up fist — should be the only parts of your body touching the floor.\nMake sure your weight is supported by your toes and your forearms.\nKeep your body as straight as possible at all times. Hold this position as long as you can.\nTo increase difficulty, an arm or leg can be raised. Place one foot on top of the other to also increase difficulty. <img> Do leg raises. Another great ab-builder is leg raises. You'll be able to feel how effective this exercise is as soon as you get into starting position.\nTo get into starting position, lie down flat on a matted floor, your head, back and legs completely even with the floor. Shift your hands underneath your glutes.\nGently lift your feet an inch or so above the ground, so that they are just barely hovering above, and are parallel to the ground. Keep this position until you start to feel a burn in your abs.\nSlowly lift your outstretched legs, with your knees bent a touch until they make a 90-degree angle to the floor. Your body should form an \"L\" shape.\nWhen your legs have reached the 90-degree angle, lift your hips up off the floor with the bottoms of your feet facing the ceiling and contract your abs for a second. Gradually lower your legs back down to the starting position, exhale, and repeat. <img> Do crunches. Crunches are another great way to get abs quickly and effectively, and there are tons of variations on crunches. Basic crunches require you to lie down on a matted floor, with your back flat to the ground and your knees bent at a 60-degree angle. With your hands near your temples, or crossed on your chest, lift your shoulder blades off the ground a small bit and feel the \"crunch\" in your abs. Exhale and go back down to the ground. Repeat.\nTry the hands overhead crunch. Instead of keeping your hands at your temple, do a basic crunch while stretching your arms overhead with your palms crossed. Keep your arms outstretched above your head at all times while you complete the crunch.\nTry the cross-body crunch. With your hands to the side of your head and your fingertips at your ears, gently behind your head, bring your left elbow and right knee together when you crunch. Go back down and bring the right elbow and left knee together as you crunch. Try to bring your shoulder up towards your knee rather than just your elbow. Remember that the key is to contract the abs as you perform the movement.\nTry the legs on exercise ball crunch. Instead of having your legs bent on the ground, place your legs at a 90-degree angle onto a large medicine ball. Slowly roll your shoulders off the floor and contract your abs, as in a regular crunch. Move down and repeat.\nTry the decline crunch. Lie on a decline bench and secure your legs at the highest point so you won't fall off. Lower yourself down so your body is completely in-line with the bench. With your hands crossed over your chest, gently lift your shoulders up, contract your ab muscles, and hold it for a second. Lower your torso back down and repeat.\nTry a rotation of crunches. Example: 20 regular, 10 cross-body, 15 hands overhead. <img> Lift your weight. Take two chairs of equal height, and rest your forearms on them, then pick your legs up off the floor in an up and down position. But be careful that you don't slip or fall. <img> Do cardio as much as possible. Set aside at least one day a week to run a mile. Playing games like tag and hide and go seek outside can even burn calories. Taking your dog for a run is also a convenient way to run, and make sure you drink plenty of water! <img> Work out your abs for about 20-30 minutes, 3 days a week, at first. Work up to exercises all 5 days of the week. Eventually, when it gets easier, do ab workouts twice each day, 5 days a week. <img> "

How to Open Combination Locks Without a Code | [
"JMqpTFTZaENk",
"EcnKDhSh4iCE",
"wkTw6c6VCD3l"
] | [
"Familiarize yourself with the lock. A lock has three main components. The shackle is the U-shaped piece which attaches it to an object. The dial is the portion with numbers that turns. The body is the rest of the lock. If you hold the lock with the shackle on top and the dial facing you, typically the locking mechanism is on the left side of the shackle. <img> Practice pressure. To find a lock combination you will need to pull up gently on the shackle. Too much pressure will make it impossible to turn the dial. Too little and the dial will spin freely. You should exert gentle pressure. This may take some practice. <img> Find the first number. Pull up gently on the shackle and hold it in place. Turn the dial clockwise listening carefully until you hear the lock click.\nStart with a good deal of pressure and gently let up as you spin it around, until you meet resistance in only one place.\nIf the dial catches every few numbers, you are pulling too hard. If it never catches at all, you are not pulling enough. It should catch in only one place, making a click.\nIf the click happens when the dial is between two numbers, round up to the higher number.\nAdd 5 to that number and write it down. This is the first number in the combination. <img> Set the first number of the combination as your starting point. It may be helpful to spin the dial a few times before doing this to reset the lock. <img> Turn the dial counterclockwise to find the second number. Maintaining gentle pressure on the shackle, turn the dial slowly. You should go all the way around the mechanism once before reaching the second number.\nThe lock will bump and catch as you turn.\nEventually the lock hit a point where it will be very difficult to turn. This stopping point is the second number. Note it on the same piece of paper. <img> Try combinations. One method of finding the third number is to simply test every possible combination. Set your first two numbers as if you were ready to unlock. Then turn the dial clockwise very slowly, testing each possible combination.\nAt this point there should be only forty possible combinations.\nYou do not have to reset the first two numbers for each combination. Simply turn one number then tug. Repeat the process until the lock opens. <img> Test for the third number. A different method for finding the third number is to test the catch. Spin the dial clockwise a few times to reset the lock and set it at 0. Apply upwards pressure on the shackle and turn the dial clockwise.\nThe lock will catch several times, allowing for slight movement back and forth between two numbers.\nWrite down the number in the middle. For instance, if the lock catches between 33 and 35, write down 34 on a separate piece of paper. This is not necessarily the final number.\nThe lock will also catch partway between numbers. For example, the range might be between 27.5 and 29.5. If the middle number is not a whole number, such as 28.5, do not write it down. Lock combinations are always whole numbers.\nProceed all the way around the dial, writing down all the whole numbers where it catches. You should have four or five numbers written down.\nMost of the numbers will fit a pattern, for instance all ending in 5. The one number that does not fit the pattern is the final number in your combination. <img> ",
"Consider your lock. Recently made locks are designed to be shim-proof by the manufacturers, although in some cases it is still possible to pick them. This method will work better on older locks. <img> Identify where the locking mechanism is. In order to use a shim properly you need to be working with the place where the shackle locks, as working on the hinge will not accomplish anything.\nUsually the locking mechanism is on the left side if you are looking at the lock with the shackle on top and the dial facing you. <img> Cut an aluminum can. You can create a shim for yourself by cutting up a soda can. Use scissors to cut off the top of the can, down the length and then to cut off the bottom.\nYou should be left with a single piece of aluminum that was once the body of the can and is now a wide strip of metal. <img> Cut a strip of metal. Turn the aluminum horizontally, so you are cutting the shorter side of the material. This piece will be used to make the shim.\nCut a strip a little over one inch wide.\nIf any of the edges are ragged, trim them. <img> Make two curved incisions. Hold the small strip of aluminum horizontally and cut two curves from the bottom, somewhat resembling the letter U.\nCenter the U in the middle of your strip.\nDo not cut all the way to the top. <img> Make two diagonal incisions. Cutting from the bottom of the metal around a quarter of an inch from the base of the U, cut diagonally upwards to intersect with the top of the U and remove the triangles of material.\nThe result should be a strip of metal that looks something like the letter M, with the middle of the M curved instead of pointed. This will be the shim. <img> Fold the sides to make a handle. Turn the top of the metal downward an eighth of an inch or so. Then fold the sides upward around the top of the strip of metal.\nFolding the sides allows you to have a handle on the shim that will not cut your hand with a sharp edge. <img> Gently fold the shim around the shackle of the lock. The U of the shim should face downward.\nYou will want to wrap the shim carefully around the outside first so it molds to the shape of the shaft.\nWhen you have got the shape you want, turn the shim so the U is on the inner part of the shackle and your handle is on the outside of it.\nRemember to do this on the side of the shackle that has the locking mechanism. <img> Press the shackle up as far as it will go and hold it in position with your finger. Using your other hand, slowly work the shim into the crack between the shackle and the lock itself.\nIt will take a few minutes and you should not rush or force it.\nWhen you have worked it in as far as it will go, stop. <img> Pop the lock. Pinch the shim with one hand. With the other hand, press the shackle down then pull it up. The lock should open. <img> ",
"Locate the serial number. If your lock has a number stamped on it, write it down. Some locks will not have a serial number. <img> Bring the lock to a distributor or retailer of the brand. Ask the distributor to contact the manufacturer on your behalf to validate your ownership of the lock and provide you with the combination.\nIf the lock is attached to an object, for instance a box, retailers will likely not assist you.\nBe aware that the retailer may charge a fee for this service. <img> Submit a lost combination form directly to the manufacturers. Visit the manufacturer's website to find out if they offer this service.\nDue to security concerns, manufacturers will likely not provide the combination over the phone or via email.\nYou may be required to furnish proof that you own the lock, such as a notarized document certifying your ownership. <img> Consult the owner. If the lock belongs to a school or business, the administrators may have a list of combinations based on serial numbers. Write down the serial number to bring to the main office.\nIf the lock is attached to something, for instance a locker, be prepared to furnish proof that you have a right to access the belongings within the locker. <img> "

"Mentally commit to watching anime. The most common reason people stop doing something that they want to start is because of their mental commitment. Make sure to acknowledge that anime can be a time consuming hobby, however it is also easy to watch, as each episode lasts about 23 minutes.\nBy mentally committing, it will make it easier for you to accomplish your goal of starting to watch anime. <img> Research about the different genres. Anime is a lot like Western film in this regard - there are many different genres including, but not limited to, science fiction, romance, and action. However, there are many anime specific genres that are only available through anime. At the end of the day, decide on some genres that interest you, and doing so will give you a good baseline for starting your anime journey.\nBe sure to use all of your resources, such as online websites and other peers who are anime fans. <img> Find lists of potential anime. It can be daunting to sort through thousands of anime that you are considering. To combat this, the use of lists of anime helps narrow down potential choices. For reference, MyAnimeList.net is a great resource to find lists by genre, age group, and other categories.\nVisit your local library and view their anime/manga sections. Many libraries have some Anime DVDs/Blu-rays, and a selection of manga.\nIf there is a certain animation studio that you like, maybe try and finding an anime made by that studio. <img> Read anime criticism. There are many mediums of criticism for anime to consider, a popular online source is MyAnimeList.net. In a practical setting, your peers are ones who know you the best, and know what you would like. Often times, suggestions can be beneficial when seeing how well you will enjoy an anime.\nDon't skip out entirely on a show just because someone said so; you never know if you'll like it unless you watch it!\nDon't be scared to watch anime that is not \"hot\" or \"popular\" or \"new\". Likewise, do not be ashamed of picking popular anime that \"everyone has seen\". As long as you are comfortable with what you are watching and enjoying it, don't worry about what is popular and not.\nOften times people watched anime in their youth and never realized it. If you remember watching a specific anime in the past and enjoyed it, maybe start off by watching that anime again. <img> Take notes. If a friend mentions an anime to you that you think you would enjoy, make sure to write it down or make note of it. Often times the suggestions you hear can easily be forgotten, so keeping it written down will help you remember the anime and let you research it further.\nAfter you have started watching anime, it may be beneficial to write down what you liked and disliked. Giving anime a score after you watched will help define what genres you enjoy, and will ultimately help you enjoy anime more. You can do this using MyAnimeList.net <img> ",
"Learn where Anime comes from. Anime refers to animated series and features from Japan. It's an incredibly diverse form of art, with unique stories and styles. Anime is popular in Japan and worldwide, creating animation like Pokémon, Princess Mononoke, Sailor Moon, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Anime can be serious and adult, or cartoonish and childlike. There's something for everyone.\nMany great Anime series started out as Manga, which are generally the 'Japanese version' of comic books. Sometimes manga are better, typically faster to get through. <img> Pick a non-Anime genre to start with. Anime isn't a distinct genre, it's more of a medium. Within Anime, there are fantasy stories, love stories, space-gangster operas, and any number of different types of stories that you can get involved with. So, one of the most important questions you have to ask yourself is, \"What do I like?\" Common Anime subgenres include:\nkodomo (for children), usually light-hearted comedy\naction, or sometimes \"battle shounen\"\nslice of life\nmahou shoujo (magical girl)\nharem\nsports\nmartial arts\nliterary\nmedieval <img> Try watching anime of varying lengths, such as short anime. There are many popular 12-episode, 24+ episode, 30+ episode Anime you can start with and sometimes have follow-up seasons. Popular short Anime are:\nMaid-sama\nRe:Zero\nDeath Note\nAngel Beats!\nSuzuka\nLove, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions\nOuran Highschool Host Club\nK-on\nFLCL\nPrison School\nA Lull in the Sea\nPuella Magi Madoka Magica\nCode Geass\nAnother\nViolet Evergarden\nBlue Exorcist\nTokyo Ghoul\nParasyte: The Maxim\nToradora!\nGrand Blue\nJujitsu Kaisen\nTokyo Revengers\nThe Devil Is A Part Timer\nClannad\nPuella Magi Madoka Magica\nErased\nNo Game No Life\nThe Promised Neverland\nOne Punch Man\nYour Lie In April\nYuri!!! on Ice\nMirai Nikki/Future Diary\netc. <img> Start with a classic feature. Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are sort of like the Disney Studios or the Steven Spielberg of anime. They're very well-known. Anything from either one of these names is bound to be pretty spectacular. More often than not, Studio Ghibli comes up with deep, profound works for older audiences, but still make stories children love. It's a good place to start, if you're looking to dip a toe in. Some of the classics of the Anime canon include:\nPrincess Mononoke\nGraves of the Fireflies\nThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time\nMy Neighbour Totoro\nWhisper of the Heart\nPaprika <img> Check out series online to see if you enjoy one. When most people think of Anime, they think of long-form shows. These feature dynamic characters and lots of drama. If you want to explore one, here's a list of popular and classic anime series that lots of different kinds of people enjoy:\nWitch Hunter Robin\nFullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood\nCowboy Bebop\nBleach\nNeon Genesis Evangelion\nDragon Ball Z\nCode Geass\nPsycho-Pass\nNaruto\nCeres, Celestial Legend\nVision of Escaflowne\nEden of the East\nSoul Eater\nMy Hero Academia <img> ",
"Embrace the subtitles. Anime comes in two varieties, subbed and dubbed. Most people find that the original Japanese voice actors are better to listen to than the dubbed Anime voices, which can sound cartoonish and silly. If you don't mind doing a little reading, try to go for the subtitled option.\nThere's good and bad on both sides. It comes down to personal preference, not what others say after all. If you don't mind that the mouths and the sounds don't match up, go for the dubbed anime. <img> Get past the first couple of episodes. Anime is long-form story telling. That means you need to have some patience and wait a while before you make up your mind about a show. If you're trying out a new series, watch a couple of episodes at least before you pass judgment.\nThe first episode for some series can be deceiving. The first episode of Elfen Lied has a naked woman and tons of gore but as it progresses there's far more to the story than just that. Don't worry: the characters eventually find their clothes.\nOn the other hand, a series can deceive you by drawing you in, only to end up being dull. Sometimes, really popular series start to suffer later in the series. <img> Appreciate the artwork and the style. Anime is just as diverse as any other medium. Some of it looks hyper-realistic, while other styles are cartoonish and over-the-top, featuring talking Pandas and people with giant eyeballs. That's part of the fun.\nMost anime features very angular people, and a hand-drawn approach, with a very light touch. Others feature eye-popping color. While a particular anime might be your genre, the art style might turn you off. 80's Anime looks different from newer Anime thanks to unique and changing styles. <img> Get ready for the slowed down pace. Some anime series seem to drag on for quite some time, before suddenly getting violent or fast-paced. Anime is like that. A single fight in Dragon Ball Z can take about half a season, and feature a whole lot of build up before anything actually happens. It's a different sort of drama, and one that can seem strange to a Western audience. But that's part of the fun, and it's part of what people like about it. Don't expect to watch a version of what you're used to, but with different art. <img> ",
"Decide what service you will use. There is an abundant amount of services to view anime on. There are anime only services such as Crunchyroll and Funimation. These services have a monthly subscription with a free trial period to determine if you like the service or not. Many other popular services such as Netflix and Hulu carry anime. However, as they are not solely an anime subscription service, the episodes are not updated as frequent, they tend to be missing seasons, and their libraries of anime are smaller compared to anime based subscriptions.\nWhichever service you decide to pick, make sure you are comfortable with the costs. <img> Determine between sub or dub. Nowadays in the anime community, there is a huge argument about whether sub or dub anime is better. Sub anime is subtitled anime, in the native Japanese language. Dub anime is anime dubbed into another language, such as English, French, German, etc.. Both have their merits, so try both sub and dub and make your decision on which voice actors you prefer, or if reading subtitles is too much of a hassle.\nNo matter which you decide, there is no right answer. Just make sure you are comfortable and enjoy anime the way you wish to watch it. <img> Consider watching with a friend. Watching with a friend who is an anime veteran is a great suggestion. They will be able to give you pointers and tips to watching anime, as well as filling in gaps where you might have trouble.\nIf you do not have a friend that watches anime, no worries! Many schools have anime clubs, where they are welcoming to all levels of anime watchers, and would love to include you. <img> Determine the setting. Setting is very important in enjoying any form of entertainment. If you are watching an action anime, consider watching with your friends in a large setting so you can all enjoy the action together. If you are watching a sad anime, consider watching it alone on a rainy day to match the mood.\nHaving the appropriate setting will allow you to enjoy anime to the fullest, and the way that it was meant to be. <img> Narrow your selections. From the list that you made of potential anime to watch, narrow it down to a low number. From there, decide which anime to watch and start your journey. If watching with friends, have a vote to decide.\nRemember to have fun and enjoy this wonderful anime journey you are about to embark on. <img> ",
"Do your own research. Just because your best friend swears by Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't mean it's the best. Not everyone likes fighting, so don't watch Naruto if you're not a fan. Same goes for anything.\nPrice doesn't equal quality. Great anime and manga can sometimes be found in bargain bins because they're not well known. If Anime is pricey, that could mean it's new or popular. <img> Talk to other Anime lovers. As with any topic, talking to other enthusiasts is a great way to learn more about how to appreciate the wide world of Anime. It can seem overwhelming to the beginner, but once you've got a knowledgeable guide, it can be a whole lot easier.\nShare what you learn, as well. Lend out DVD's to friends, invite people over for Anime night. The point should be to have fun, so share what you've grown to love. <img> Explore your online options. There are lots of websites to stream anime on. This is especially true when one doesn't have an Anime channel in their area, or a channel that plays more than just Pokémon.\nNetflix and Google Play and other streaming services regularly have a wide variety of anime that you can watch for a monthly fee, although Netflix often doesn't put the entire anime on their service. Regardless, it's a good option if you're curious, but don't want to invest in buying a series outright.\nIf after the first 3 episodes, a show seems like something you'd enjoy, go and buy the series, or explore other options for watching it via a streaming service. <img> Branch out and explore different styles. If you like an art style, check out an anime similar, by finding something that looks like it appeals to you. Or look at what else that particular director or artist has been involved with.\nYou'll find, for example, that The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is similar to Angel Beats. If you know you like Witch Hunter Robin, then try Ghost in the Shell since they're the same genre. <img> "

How to Get a Dancer's Body | [

"Listen to your body. Ballerinas and other dancers are commonly asked about what they eat. Their specific diets vary, but all of them eat with one primary goal in mind: keeping their bodies healthy and full of energy.\nWhen deciding what's right for you in a given day, pay attention to how you feel. As your diet becomes healthier, you'll grow more aware of the foods that make you feel best. Stick to those!\nAs an example, if you wake up feeling very hungry, eat a larger but healthy breakfast. If you don't feel like having much, have a smoothie or a hot, unsweetened drink and a piece of fruit. <img> Drink plenty of water. How much water you need in a day depends on your size, weight, activity level and where you live. To calculate how much water you need, take your weight in pounds and divide it in half: that number is where you should start.\nOn average, a 150-pound person needs between 75 and 150 ounces of water each day. If they were sedentary and living in a cool climate, they would drink closer to 75 ounces of water each day; if they were active and lived in a hot climate, their intake would be closer to 150 ounces. <img> Take supplements (optional). Many ballerinas start their morning with a glass of water and supplements. If your diet is complete and you have no health concerns, you may not need supplements at all. It really depends on personal taste and needs.\nIf you are chronically tired or have any other chronic health concerns, consult a doctor about taking supplements.\nAs an example, if you're often tired, you may find that your iron and/or vitamin D levels are low, in which case you might need to take supplements. <img> Eat lean sources of protein. Healthy sources of protein include seafood; white-meat poultry (e.g., chicken breast or turkey breast); milk, cheese, and yogurt; eggs; beans; pork tenderloin; soy; lean beef; and meal replacement drinks.\nSome ballerinas start their morning with a smoothie, hot milky drink (e.g., a cappuccino), Greek yogurt, or eggs. <img> Eat healthy sources of fat. It might seem counterintuitive, but eating fat is actually good for you — you just need to make sure you're eating good fats, not bad ones. To find out what types of fats are in your foods, read the labels and/or look them up online.\nBad fats include saturated fats and artificial trans fatty acids. Saturated fats are found in animal products and in vegetable fats that liquefy at room temperature (e.g. coconut and palm oils). Artificial trans fatty acids are found in packaged foods and some margarines.\nGood fats include unsaturated fats such as those found in vegetable oils, fish, plants, flaxseeds, and walnuts. <img> Limit your carb intake. Most professional dancers are careful about their starch and sugar intake. Those that do eat carbs mainly eat healthy ones such as whole wheat bread or rye crackers, or vegetables.\nSome professional dancers claim to eat mostly protein and to avoid carbs.\nNote that the lower your carb intake, the more likely you are to need a supplement, particularly fibre and folic acid.\nWhile cutting carbs may help you lose weight, it may also cause tiredness and digestive problems. If you're planning to go very low-carb, consult a nutritionist to ensure that you do it healthfully. <img> Avoid all processed foods. When dancers list what they eat it's almost always whole foods, and when they do eat things that come out of a package, it's usually a healthy snack bar made of nuts and/or dried fruit.\nMost diet plans recommend avoiding processed foods as much as possible, as these are more likely to contain sodium and carbohydrates, both of which will do nothing to help you lose weight. <img> Treat yourself. Even dancers know that if you deprive yourself of a “guilty pleasure” long enough, you may end up bingeing. If you have a sweet tooth, allow yourself a bit of a high-quality, dark chocolate bar now and then!\nYou don't want to indulge every day, but you can definitely give into those cravings now and then — the key is to eat something relatively healthy, and only a small amount of it. <img> ",
"Warm up before and after exercise. Do some light pilates or yoga, stretching, or some slow cardio for at least five to ten minutes before and after you exercise. This will ensure that your muscles are loose and warm, and will help prevent injury.\nMany dancers start and end their day with at least some gentle stretching in order to keep their limbs feeling limber.\nTailor your warmup to your exercise. If you're going to do cardio, start with a slow activity like walking or biking at an easy pace. If you're doing strength training, do a slow jog or walk, then some light activity that uses the muscles you intend to work on. <img> Do Pilates. Pilates is a system of exercises known for creating long, lean muscles in the arms, legs, and backside. Pilates will also help strengthen your core, giving you better balance, good abs, and a toned back. <img> Do 30 to 60 minutes of cardio each day. Cardio will help you lose weight or, if you're already at a healthy body weight, it will help you maintain your current weight.\nYou don't have to get the entire 30 to 60 minutes in in one big chunk. You can also do 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the afternoon, and 20 minutes after work/school, or at other intervals that suit you throughout the day — doing it this way will keep your metabolism revved. <img> Strength train. To get a dancer's body you must build muscle, and strength training will help you do that. To keep your muscles lean, try using light weights with high repetitions:\nUsually you'd use a weight that would exhaust you by the time you reached your 5th to 15th repetition (depending on the exercise and the trainer). This time, try weights that allow you to reach 18 to 20 repetitions before you have to give up. <img> Dance. A no-brainer way to get a dancer's body is to dance. Like with running, cardio, and weight-training, dancing provides a full body workout. <img> Swim. If you're weight-training and running regularly, consider giving your joints a break by swimming. Swimming gives you cardio and helps enlarge your muscles without causing stress to your joints. <img> Go slowly. Jumping into a new exercise routine too quickly and ambitiously is a great way to burn yourself out and/or injure yourself. Add exercises to your routine in slow, small increments, giving yourself time to build strength and stamina.\nIf you currently don't do any cardio at all, don't try to jump into 30 minutes a day. Start with 30 minutes of brisk walking, three times a week. <img> Pay attention to your body. You might feel tired or a bit sore after exercising, but you shouldn't be in pain. If anything causes you pain, stop doing it. If the pain persists, depending on how severe and long-lasting it is, you may want to consult a doctor. <img> Take rest days. Allowing yourself to rest is imperative to building muscles. If you do work out every day, be sure to alternate your workouts so that you're not using the same muscles every day. <img> ",
"Build your calf muscles using a ledge. Stand on a ledge (a staircase will work well) with your toes/balls of your feet on the ledge and your heels hanging off. Draw your heels up so that you're standing on your toes, then slowly lower them back down. Do this for roughly 5 minutes.\nIf your calves begin to burn, that's a good sign! Just make sure it's a good burn, and not a painful tearing feeling. If at any point it feels truly painful, stop! <img> Do leg lifts. Start by lying on your back with your legs straight out and your hands at your sides. Keeping your legs straight, raise them to a 45-degree angle from the ground. Slowly lower your legs to just above the ground (don't touch it!) and repeat. This is a simple leg lift, but there are many variations:\nLie on your back with your hands behind your head and elbows wide. Raise your legs to a 45-degree angle and hold them there while you move them in crisscross motions for 30 seconds — right leg in front of left, then vice versa. As you do this, your shoulder blades should be off the floor as well, as if you were doing a crunch. Your legs should remain straight the entire time.\nLie on your back with your legs up at 45 degrees and your hands at your sides. Use your abs to raise your shoulder blades and arms off the floor. Again you should look like you're doing crunches, but with your arms straight out in front of you and your legs at 45 degrees.\nLie on your back and lift your shoulders a few inches off the ground as you move your legs into an L position. Place your hands behind your head and lift the leg that's still on the ground slightly off the ground. Keeping your lower leg and shoulders off the ground, curl up towards the highest leg (the vertical part of the L shape) and pulse for 30 seconds. Then, switch legs and repeat. You can speed this up to single pulses as well.\nThese exercises tone your abs, thighs, and bum. If you find these exercises challenging, you can raise your legs slightly higher than 45 degrees to make the exercise less difficult.\nThere are also variations that include standing up and kicking your legs out behind you — these are great for firming up your buns. <img> Do a plié. Place one hand on the counter or back of a chair, and lift your opposite arm towards the ceiling, allowing a gentle bend in your elbow. Ensure that your back is straight (shoulders down, pelvis tucked, abs in and tensed) and that your heels are touching, with your toes pointed outward (your feet should look like a V).\nMaintaining a good posture, lift your heels 2 inches off the floor so that your weight is now on the balls of your feet. This is your starting position.\nContinuing to maintain your posture, bend your knees and lower your body up to 12 inches. Hold in this lowered position for one count (say one one thousand inside your head) before returning to your starting position.\nDo two sets of 10 repetitions. Stay on the balls of your feet throughout. <img> Do a wide plié. Holding onto the edge of a chair or counter with one hand, raise your opposite arm towards the ceiling with a gentle bend at the elbow. Stand with your feet roughly 3 feet apart, toes pointed out.\nDraw your shoulders down and away from you ears, tighten your abs, tuck your pelvis, and bend your knees. This is your starting position.\nEnsuring that you maintain your starting posture (shoulders down, abs strong, pelvis tucked, knees bent), raise your heels off the floor as high as you can. Stay on the balls of your feet.\nRemaining on the balls of your feet, with bent knees and a tucked pelvis, squeeze your butt muscles, and press your thighs and knees back. This should be a small movement. Hold the tension for one count (say one one thousand inside your head), then release.\nDo two sets of 20 reps. This exercise will firm your thighs and bum. <img> Do a reverse pushup. Sit with your legs extended in front of you and your arms at your sides. Your palms should be on the floor with your thumbs pointing forward and your fingers pointing out to the side. Tuck your pelvis and lift your bum as high as possible off the floor.\nBend your elbows and lower your body roughly 2 inches, holding it there as you count to two. Being careful not to lock your elbows, push back up to your starting position (pelvis tucked, bum lifted). Do 15 reps.\nBe sure to keep your pelvis tucked and your abs strong (pulled in) throughout this exercise. If you find it too difficult, a variation is to place your feet flat on the floor and bend your knees <img> ",
"See the benefits of your new program. One way to stay motivated is to identify the ways in which your exercise and diet routine benefit you. For example, you might feel stronger or have more energy, or reduce your risk for diabetes.\nIt may be enough to focus on the aesthetics at first — that you'll be thinner — but this may not be enough to keep you motivated in the long run.\nAllow your motivations to change. If you're feeling unmotivated, sit down and remind yourself why you're working so hard for your new body. You may find it helpful to write it down in a journal. <img> Record your progress. Keep track of your weight, measurements, daily food intake, and daily exercise. When you need motivation, look at your progress. If you're exercising daily and eating healthy, you will see a difference, and measuring this difference may keep you going.\nOften weight won't tell you much about how you're doing in your exercise program. You might even find that you get heavier as you build muscle. Measuring yourself, or even just paying attention to how you feel and how your clothes fit, is generally more effective than weighing yourself.\nYou can download apps on your smart phone or tablet that can help you record your progress and even share it with other people. <img> Be realistic. Experts repeatedly warn us that if we try to do too much too soon, we'll burn out. Instead of jumping into an hour of exercise every day, make small, incremental boosts to your current routine.\nAs an example, if you already jog once a week and do yoga twice a week, you could add one Pilates class (or video) and two 30-minute walks to your weekly routine. <img> Set weekly goals. Keep track of what you do every day, and at the end of each week, tally up your work. If you've met your goal for that week, reward yourself.\nAn example of your first week's goal might be 30 minutes of cardio for three days, plus two days of yoga, and one day of Pilates; in addition, you only ate carbs once per day, where you'd normally eat them at every meal. <img> Don't think of it as exercise. Try to do things that hide the fact that you're exercising — for example, walking or playing with your dog, or playing recreational sports such as soccer or tennis.\nYou could even join a dance class, which would be particularly useful given that you're trying to get a dancer's body! <img> Make a schedule. Take the time to go over your schedule and specifically block out the times in which you'll exercise and prepare healthy meals for yourself.\nWhen creating a schedule try to account for things that might go wrong — for example, a meeting running late or waking up feeling sick.\nIf you don't carve out a specific block of time for your exercise and/or healthy meal preparation, chances are you won't find the time to do those things. <img> Be positive. You will have setbacks. It's important not to beat yourself up over these things. Get through the setback and then get back on track with your diet and exercise.\nFor example, if you sleep in and miss going for a run on Monday, don't give up on your whole week. Just get back on schedule and make sure you don't miss your next scheduled exercise session. <img> Find a friend to work out with you. Having a workout buddy can keep you accountable and more likely to stick to your routine. They can also help make working out more fun. Just make sure they're as motivated as you are!\nMake sure that you don't use their lack of motivation as an excuse for your own if your friend cancels on your workout sessions. <img> Keep learning. Always keep an eye out for new recipes and exercises so that you don't get bored with your current ones. Keeping yourself educated about healthy living techniques will help keep you inspired. <img> "

How to Call Uzbekistan | [
"LdaALkzwJNSq",
"9bwjrgyJSWt5"
] | [
"Dial your county’s exit code. This code allows you to place a call to a foreign country. This number is also known as the “international direct dial code” or “international access code”. The codes vary between countries, so you will need to find the code that is specific to your country. To find your country's exit code, look in the front page of a phone book, search online, or go to https://www.howtocallabroad.com/codes.html.\nExit code examples: United Kingdom and Germany = 00, USA and Canada = 011, Thailand = 01. <img> Enter Uzbekistan's country code, which is 998. This number connects the call from your home country to Uzbekistan. Dial Uzbekistan’s country code (998) once you have dialed your country’s exit code.\nYour number should currently be your country's exit code, followed by 998. For example, if you are calling from Australia, the number would be 011-998. <img> Dial the 2-digit area/city code. This code is 2 digits long and directs your call to the correct geographical area in Uzbekistan. If you don’t know the code, search online for the city you are calling, followed by “Uzbekistan area code”.\nUzbekistan area code examples include: Andijan = 74, Bukara = 65, Djizak = 72, and Karakalpakia = 61.\nIf the local phone number you are calling has 2 digits in brackets/parentheses at the start of the number, this is most likely the area code. For example: (61) 999-99999. <img> Enter the local 7-digit phone number and press call. This is the unique phone number of the person, business, or mobile phone that you are contacting. If you don’t know the local phone number, ask the person for it via email, or search for it online (for a business). Press call and wait for the phone ring. <img> ",
"Place the call for free via an online video messaging application. If you are calling a friend or family member in Uzbekistan, ask them if would like to video chat with you instead. There are many providers that offer this service free of charge. You and the receiver will both need to have the same application installed on your mobile phone or computer in order for the call to connect. Add your friend as a contact and then click on their name in the application to start the call.\n\nGoogle Hangouts, Viber, Skype, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger have free video calling options.\nYou and the receiver will need good Internet connections in order for the call to connect. If the call keeps pausing, this indicates that one party has a poor internet connection.\nDownload an application on Google Play if you have an Android device, or from the app store if you have an Apple device. <img> Make the call using an online audio messaging app if your video call is lagging. This method is the same as video messaging, except the camera is disabled. This option works better than video messaging if you don’t have a high-speed Internet connection. You and your friend will both need to install your chosen audio messaging app and add each other as contacts, Then, simply press the person’s name in the app to connect the call.\n\nSnapchat, Whatsapp, Viber, and Facebook Messenger are widely-used free audio calling apps. <img> Call via a VOIP provider to reduce the cost of the call. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) apps allow you to call overseas at a cheaper price than most phone companies. Once you have downloaded a VOIP app, dial the full international phone number. This method can be used to call landlines and mobile numbers.\nVOIP applications are offered by many companies. Skype, Viber, and Google+Hangouts are popular options.\nDownload a VOIP application from the app store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices). <img> "

Easy Ways to Wash Out Hair Color | [
"qfqRXGsfGbqo",
"HZhLeuU6ejs5",
"P5NPCXgAQW5Z",
"gVrNvNq24HRA"
] | [
"Rinse your initial hair dye with lukewarm water and don't shampoo for 2 days. Run water over your hair under a sink or faucet until the excess dye is gone and the rinsed water looks completely clear. Once your hair is rinsed, leave it unwashed for 2 days—that gives your strands time to seal in the color.\nHot water opens your hair cuticles and allows more hair dye to leak and fade from your strands. That’s why it’s better to rinse your hair with lukewarm (or even cool) water.\nWhen you do start washing your hair, stick with color-extending shampoos and color-extending conditioners to help protect your color, along with dry shampoo. <img> Apply a color remover to dry hair to quickly strip the color away. Beginning at your roots, apply the color remover to the entire length of your hair. Let the product sit for around 30 minutes before washing it out with shampoo.\nAlways double-check the label on your color remover before applying it to your hair. Some brands and products have more specific instructions. <img> Wash your hair frequently with hot water to fade the color. You know the cardinal rules of applying hair dye—shampoo sparingly and avoid hot water, which both cause your dye to fade. With this in mind, shampoo your hair in a hot shower as frequently as possible to maximize the potential fading.\nShampooing too frequently can leave your hair dry and prone to breakage while also leaving your scalp uncomfortable and dry. Space out your shampoo sessions a little more if your hair and scalp are starting to feel the heat.\nBlow-dryers and heat-styling tools can also make your hair extra dry. Try to avoid these items while you’re fading your hair dye. <img> Lighten your strands with a vitamin C and shampoo paste. Crush up 5-10 vitamin C tablets and mix them with a standard portion of anti-dandruff or clarifying shampoo. Apply the mixture all over your strands and cover it up with a plastic shower cap. Then, let the vitamin C soak into your hair for 30 minutes before rinsing it out.\nVitamin C tablets can lighten your hair, but it may take multiple sessions before you get the results you want. <img> Coax the dye out of your hair naturally with olive oil. Lather your hair with olive oil before you head to bed—just make sure that your strands are completely covered. Then, just wrap up your hair in a towel and go to sleep. The next morning, hop in the shower to shampoo and rinse your hair.\nIf you don’t have olive oil on hand, any kind of vegetable oil will work in its place. <img> Switch to anti-dandruff shampoo for a dye-stripping clean. Over the next few trips to the shower, lather your dyed hair up with anti-dandruff shampoo instead of your usual product. Leave the shampoo in your hair for a couple minutes longer than you usually would before rinsing it out. Then, coat your hair with conditioner so it doesn’t dry out.\nAnti-dandruff shampoo can really dry out your hair, so it’s super important to apply conditioner each time.\nAnti-dandruff shampoo works best for fading semi-permanent hair dye.\nFor an extra dye-stripping kick, combine equal amounts of baking soda and anti-dandruff shampoo together into a pasty shampoo. Rub the mixture all over your hair and leave it there for up to 5 minutes. <img> Fade your hair dye gradually with clarifying shampoo. Lather your hair up with clarifying shampoo the next 10-15 times you hop into the shower. Over time, the shampoo clears away the color from your strands.\nClarifying shampoo is designed to remove build-up from your hair—not hair dye. While it will fade your hair dye eventually, it won’t yield any overnight results. <img> Strip the dye from your hair with a dish soap-shampoo mixture. Squeeze a few drops of dish soap into your shampoo and lather it into your hair. Wait 10 minutes for the mixture to soak into your hair before rinsing and applying your usual conditioner.\nYou’ll need to wash your hair with dish soap several times before you notice any major results. Dish soap dries out your hair a lot too, so be sure to apply conditioner each time you use it. <img> Lighten your hair naturally with lemon juice. Fill a large bowl with 4 c (950 mL) of water and 5 US tbsp (74 mL) of lemon juice. Pour the lemon water all over your strands and give it 30 minutes to soak in. \nAlways rinse out your hair after the 30-minute mark—lemon juice is super acidic and leaves your hair feeling dry. To give your hair a boost, apply your go-to conditioner after trying this treatment. <img> Lift your hair dye gradually with chamomile tea. Before your next shower, whip up a mug or 2 of chamomile tea, giving it 10 minutes to steep. When you’re ready to rinse out your shampoo, use the cooled chamomile tea instead of regular shower water.\nUse chamomile tea to rinse your hair for multiple showers and see if you notice a difference. <img> Apply a honey mixture to your hair for a lightening boost. Mix equal amounts of honey and warm water together and massage the mixture directly into your hair. Then, wrap up your hair in a towel and wait 30 minutes for the treatment to soak in. Once time is up, jump in the shower and wash out the honey with shampoo.\nHoney treatments work especially well with a fresh dye job. <img> Spend some time out in the sun to fade your hair over time. Is there sun in the forecast? Take advantage of the bright weather by heading outside for a while. Leave your hair down as much as possible so it can soak up a ton of rays and start to fade.\nSun fading can take a long time to yield any real results, and some people don’t notice any major difference after spending lots of time outside. If you’re looking for quick results, you might have better luck with a color remover or shampoo-based treatment. <img> ",
"Clean your skin naturally with a little bit of lemon juice. Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice and scrub down the dye stain. It might take a few minutes, but the constant rubbing will eventually lift away some of the dye. <img> Wipe down the dye with makeup remover. Makeup remover is designed to go on your skin, so it’s far less likely to cause any irritation. Grab a bottle of makeup remover or just use a wipe to clear the leftover dye away from your skin.\nThis is a pretty gentle option, so it might not clear away more extreme stains. <img> Rub over the stain with hand sanitizer. It doesn’t get much simpler than this—just squeeze a dollop of sanitizer onto the stain, rub it all over, and give it a couple of minutes to soak in. When you wipe off the hand sanitizer, the dye will start to disappear with it.\nDon’t be discouraged if you don’t see results at first—it may take a few rounds before you notice any major improvements. <img> Scrub baking soda-based toothpaste into the stain. Squeeze a small glob of toothpaste on your fingertip and rub it all over the dye stain on your skin. For extra scrubbing power, apply the toothpaste with a rag or soft-bristled toothbrush instead.\nOnly use baking soda-based toothpaste for this—gel products won’t work. <img> Blot the dye away with nail polish remover. Soak a cotton ball in acetone and gently dab it onto the dye stain. Make sure you go as quickly as you can—acetone tends to be irritating, so you don’t want it sitting on your skin for very long. Once you’ve cleared away all the dye, rinse the nail polish remover off.\n\nPatch-test a tiny section of the stain with the acetone first to make sure your skin doesn’t have a bad reaction. <img> Massage a mixture of dish soap and baking soda into the dye stain. Mix equal amounts of baking soda and dish soap together to create a gritty paste. After wetting your hands, rub the paste directly into the dye stain to clear it away. <img> ",
"Remove brown or black dye stains with oxygen bleach and chlorine bleach. Pre-teat your garment with detergent and rinse it out completely before soaking it in a diluted oxygen bleach solution for 1 hour. If the stain still doesn’t go away, soak the clothing item in a diluted chlorine bleach solution for 15 minutes.\nBleach might not be the best option for bright clothes or garments made with certain materials (like silk). If you can’t treat your garment with bleach, wash it with a commercial color remover instead. To protect your synthetic clothing, keep your water temperature less than 160 °F (71 °C).\nMake a diluted oxygen bleach mixture by stirring 1-2 tbsp (28.3-56.7 g) of product into 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. Check your chlorine bleach bottle to find the correct dilution for your laundry. <img> Get rid of bright dye stains using dish soap, ammonia, and white vinegar. Lay the garment in a cleaning solution prepared with 1 US qt (0.95 L) of warm water, ⁄2 tsp (2.5 mL) of dish detergent, and 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of ammonia. After about 15 minutes, lift the clothing out of the mixture and rub along the back section of the stain to loosen it from the fabric. Let the garment soak for an extra 15 minutes before rinsing it out with clean water. For extra stain-fighting power, immerse the item in a diluted vinegar mixture for a half hour.\nThe back section of the stain might be on the inside of the garment.\nIs the stain still there? Wash it with either chlorine or oxygen bleach, depending on what the care label allows. <img> Spot-treat dye stains with rubbing alcohol. Dip a clean cloth in rubbing alcohol and blot the stain—with any luck, the dye will soak into the rag. Using warm water, rinse off the clothing item and stick it in a warm wash cycle.\nIf you don’t have any rubbing alcohol on hand, use a little bit of hairspray instead. <img> Confirm that the stain is gone before tumble-drying the garment. Reapply the stain treatment if the dye doesn’t come out right away—it might take several tries before you notice any major results. Heat sets stains into fabric, so don’t tumble-dry the clothing item until you’re absolutely sure that the stain is gone. <img> ",
"Erase carpet and upholstery stains with dish soap, vinegar, and rubbing alcohol. Treat the stain for 30 minutes with a mixture of 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of dish soap, 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of white vinegar, and 2 c (470 mL) of cool water. Using a clean cloth or sponge, blot up the mixture with cool water and go over it again with rubbing alcohol. As you soak up the alcohol, watch as the dye gets pulled out of your upholstery or carpet.\nIf the dye doesn’t go away, treat the stain with a mixture of 1 tsp (4.9 mL) dish detergent, 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of ammonia, and 2 c (470 mL) of warm water for 30 minutes.\nFor better results, switch out your cleaning cloth every 5 minutes with a new, freshly-soaked rag. <img> Use diluted bleach to get rid of tile stains. Grab a clean washcloth and dip it in a diluted bleach mixture. Then, drape the rag over the dye stain until it completely fades. To get rid of any leftover bleach, wipe down the clean tile with water.\n\nDilute your bleach by adding 4 tsp (20 mL) of it to 1 US qt (0.95 L) of lukewarm water.\nThis remedy works on different types of tiles, but it never hurts to be cautious. Rub a tiny bit of diluted bleach on your tile and grout to make sure the cleaning mixture doesn’t harm the material first. <img> Clean a dye-stained porcelain sink with dish soap. Create some sudsy water with your dish soap and pour a little bit on top of your dye stains. Wait 5-10 minutes for the dish soap to work its magic and strip away the dye. If the stain doesn’t completely fade away, blot up the old water and pour a new batch of sudsy water on top.\n\nNail polish remover is another quick and easy solution for a dye-stained sink. <img> "

"Make eye contact so people know you’re paying attention. As a proper young lady, it’s important that you let people know that they have your undivided attention when you greet them and when you’re having a conversation. Making eye contact shows the person that you’re talking to that you’re listening and that you respect what they have to say.\nThis is particularly important when you’re meeting someone new. By making eye contact, you’ll appear warm and friendly and make them feel more at ease. <img> Speak kindly and focus on the positive traits of others. Gossip is often mean-spirited and can be very hurtful, so it’s best to avoid participating in gossip as much as possible. While gossiping with your friends can be tempting, consider how you’d feel if you were the subject of gossip. If you know that you’d be hurt by something that you or your friends are saying, try to avoid saying it.\nInstead of gossiping, try to focus on other people’s positive qualities. Even if you don’t particularly enjoy someone’s company, there are surely a few things about them that you like or admire.\nThis is especially important when you’re communicating through email, text, or social media, as your words can easily be reproduced and hurt someone. <img> Be humble about your accomplishments. While it’s important that you feel proud of your accomplishments, avoid bragging excessively about what you have or what you’ve done. People will likely find out about your accomplishments over time – you don’t need to brag in order to get credit and feel proud of yourself.\nFor example, if you recently got accepted into a prestigious art school, avoid bringing it up to people in casual conversation. Instead, you can let people know when they ask you what you’re doing next year, or what’s new with you.\nAs a proper young lady, it’s particularly important that you avoid bragging about material things that you own. This is quite unbecoming and often makes the person you’re talking to feel bad if they can’t afford what you have. <img> Avoid using rude or shocking language. The language you use when you talk to people represents who you are and what you care about. Therefore, it’s important that you avoid using rude language that may offend people and make you seem abrasive or brash. In addition, try to avoid saying anything off-kilter or potentially offensive for the sake of shock value. You don’t need to shock people to get them to think highly of you. In fact, it will likely do quite the opposite.\nFor example, avoid using curse words in social situations, particularly when you are the guest at someone’s house.\nWhile you may have a funny story about a wild night out, for example, save these stories for private conversations with close friends. <img> Say please and thank you whenever it’s appropriate. This simple gesture is one of the easiest ways for you to act like a proper young lady. Saying please and thank you when someone offers you something will show your appreciation and demonstrate that you are a polite, gracious, and respectful.\nOnce you start saying please and thank you, you’ll eventually get in the habit of doing so all the time, making this a particularly easy way to act like a proper young lady. <img> Maintain a level, polite tone of voice. Regardless of who you’re talking to or what you’re talking about, try to avoid raising your voice to draw attention to yourself or make a point. Instead, try to speak evenly, clearly, and articulately. People will be much more likely to be receptive to what you’re saying, and you won’t come off as rude or obnoxious.\nThis is particularly important when you disagree with someone. You don’t need to raise your voice to prove you’re right. Instead, try to calmly explain your point of view. <img> Educate yourself on important current events. As a proper young lady, it’s important that you’re able to have conversations with people about a wide variety of topic. Therefore, try to read or watch the news every morning so that you stay up-to-date on important current events.\nIt will also make you feel more confident when you talk to others if you’re able to make informed, intelligent contributions to the conversation. <img> Be honest and stick to your word. Being honest and dependable are both crucial attributes for you to have if you want to be considered a proper young woman. While it’s important that you’re always polite and avoid getting involved in confrontational situations, it’s also important that you are honest with people, and follow through when you make commitments.\nIt would be difficult for others to respect you as a proper young lady if you aren’t honest and dependable. <img> ",
"Wear clothing that covers your cleavage and backside. As a proper young lady, go for pieces of clothing in flattering cuts that provide a bit more coverage. Clothing is one of the ways that you outwardly express yourself. By choosing pieces in classic cuts that aren’t overly showy, you’ll send the message that you are a self-respecting, proper young lady.\nA midi dress or skirt with a demure, ruffled top is a great option for fancier social events.\nFor everyday wear, try a pair of well-tailored jeans with a classic boat-neck sweater or silk tank with a blazer on top. <img> Avoid poor quality clothing. Instead of trying to find cheaper versions of designer or expensive items, opt for clothing that is well-cut and made of good quality fabrics. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on your clothing to look like a lady. Stylish, classic, high-quality clothing will make you look much more respectable and confident.\nCheck out the sales rack at upscale department stores and keep an eye out for good deals.\nYou can find nice clothing at thrift stores, too! Always check details like stitching and focus on finding pieces that are well-made. <img> Keep your nails clean and manicured. Even if you don’t like to wear nail polish, keeping your nails clean and manicured will show people that you take care of yourself and use proper hygiene. Plus, if you’re hosting or serving at an event, people will appreciate the fact that your hands and nails are clean when you’re handling food and drinks and shaking their hands.\nIf you’re low on time, buffing your nails is a quick and easy way to make your nails look clean, shiny, and presentable. <img> Maintain good posture to exude self-confidence. Whether you’re walking or sitting down, try to always remember to keep your shoulders back and your head held high. This will help you maintain good posture and appear poised and self-assured.\nMaintaining good posture will help you stand or sit taller, which will help you garner respect from those around you. <img> Smile at others to make them feel comfortable approaching you. As a proper young lady, your goal is to appear both approachable and self-confident. Making a point to smile at people will make people feel more comfortable talking to you, and will outwardly display your kind and gracious nature. <img> Consider what your social media posts will say about you. As a proper young lady, it’s important that you carefully consider what you choose to post on social media. While posting pictures of things you like and are passionate about is great, make sure that the image truly sends the message about you that you want it to.\nAs a general rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t feel comfortable showing your grandmother the picture you’re debating, it’s likely that it’s not very proper. <img> Avoid wearing too much makeup. Instead of trying to cover up features that you aren’t crazy about, try to use makeup sparingly to enhance your best features. As a proper young lady, your goal is to bring positive attention to yourself, and present yourself in a respectable manner. Therefore, it’s best to avoid wearing too much makeup, which can make you look like your trying too hard and bring unwanted attention.\nFor daily activities, keep your makeup minimal with a lightweight foundation, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. <img> ",
"Engage in conversation with other people at social events. Whenever you’re at a dinner, wedding, or any other social event, do your best to engage in conversation with a variety of people present at the event. Even if you’re shy, try to introduce yourself to 1 or 2 new people. This will help you build self-confidence and let other people know that you are gracious and interested in meeting new people.\nAvoid looking at your phone as much as possible, as this will send the message that you’re bored and have something more important to do.\nAsk people questions about themselves to make them feel like you’re genuinely interested in getting to know them. <img> Avoid drinking too much at social functions. While it’s fine to enjoy a glass of wine or two, make sure that you don’t allow yourself to be overserved at social events. The more you drink, the more difficult it will be for you to act like the proper young lady you are. It’s perfectly acceptable to decline additional drinks if you start to feel like your abilities are impaired.\nIf you feel like you’ve had a bit too much to drink, make sure that you eat plenty of food and drink plenty of water, or politely excuse yourself and leave. <img> Use proper table manners when you eat in public. To be a proper young lady, it’s essential that you learn and use some of the basics of proper table etiquette. While some elements of proper behavior change over time, having good table manners is always an important way to show that you are polite and respectful. Here are a few of the basics of table etiquette you should use:\nAlways place your napkin in your lap when you sit down at the table.\nWait until everyone at the table has been served before you start eating.\nPass food trays and dishes to your right when being served family-style.\nNever talk with food in your mouth. Instead, chew and swallow all your food before speaking at the table. <img> Bring a dish or gift when you are a guest in someone’s home. Whether you’re attending a large party or small dinner party, avoid showing up empty-handed whenever possible. Even if you only bring a side dish or a small plant, offering something to the host or hostess will let them know how much you appreciate the invitation.\nIf you’re going to be a guest in someone’s home for a holiday or other celebratory event, consider bringing a gift that is on-theme. For example, if you’re going to a Christmas dinner, you could bring a festive ornament or poinsettia plant. <img> Keep your food and eating preferences to yourself at the table. If you don’t like something that’s being served, you don’t need to announce it to the host or hostess or any other guests. Instead, just politely decline and pass the dish to the next guest.\nIf someone asks you if you want something specifically that you don’t eat, you can respond politely by saying, “No thank you, but it looks lovely!” <img> Avoid bickering about important issues in lighthearted social settings. While it’s important that you express your views on important subjects, there is a time and a place for such conversations. Arguing with another guest at a dinner party about politics, for example, can be unproductive and rude. Instead, try to stick to positive, pleasant topics when you’re at a social event.\nIf someone says something that you disagree with or find offensive, you can always approach them later in private without making a scene at a party or at the dinner table. <img> Compliment the host or hostess’s home or decorating skills. When you attend a social event, make sure that you find the host or hostess before the end of the event to both thank them and pay them a compliment. They likely put a lot of effort into making their home or other event space welcoming and beautiful, and it will mean a lot to them if you acknowledge that.\nFor example, if it’s your first time visiting someone’s house, try saying to them, “I absolutely love your home. I feel so welcome here.” That way, you’ll be able to compliment both their décor sense and their hospitality. <img> Offer to help clean up when you’re a guest at a dinner party. Being polite and helpful are two of the most important elements of being a proper young lady. While the host or hostess will likely decline, they’ll surely appreciate your gracious offer to help clean up.\nBy showing your appreciation and willingness to help, they and other guests will be more likely to want to invite you to functions in the future. <img> "

"Try to greet them as you walk in the door every day. It might sound like a small thing, but a nice greeting from you could seriously lift up someone’s mood if they’re having a bad day.\nSaying good morning to your coworkers also makes you feel more approachable. If you can be casual at the beginning of the day, your coworkers are more likely to chat with you throughout the work day. <img> ",
"Talk about something other than work on your breaks. Chat about your children, what you like to do on the weekends, and what you all do for fun.\nGetting to know your coworkers will foster a relationship and develop a bond between you all.\nMake sure you tell your coworkers about yourself too! Talk about the fun stuff you did last weekend or what your plans are for the evening. <img> ",
"Keep a positive attitude while you’re at work, even when it’s tough. If you can find the silver lining even in a bad situation, people will start to see you as a nice, kind person to rely on.\nFor example, if you and your team miss a deadline, you could say, “Well, at least we know how much time we need to carve out for the next project.”\nOr, if you have to work late, you could say, “Thank goodness we’re getting paid overtime for this.” <img> ",
"Nod along and ask questions when you talk to your coworkers. Show that you’re really listening to what they have to say instead of dismissing them right away.\nFor example, if your coworker is telling you something about your next assignment, you could say, “So what you need is a double page document by the end of the day?”\nIf you’re just chatting about your personal life with your coworkers, you could ask, “So what happened with your kid’s recital last night?” <img> ",
"Get organized, meet your deadlines, and collaborate with your coworkers. The better you can do your job, the more people will see you as a reliable person.\nWhile doing your job well on its own won’t make people view you as “nice” necessarily, if you couple it with a few other methods you can make sure people think that you’re a kind person.\nIf you don’t do your job well, you can be the nicest person around, but people may still resent you. <img> ",
"Remember that everyone works at a different pace and with a different style. Instead of getting frustrated at your coworkers if they do something differently than you, try to respect their needs and let them work how they need to.\nFor example, you might be able to chat and listen to music while you work, but other people might need complete silence. Instead of getting offended that they don’t want to talk, let them do their work on their own. <img> ",
"Offer your assistance if one of your coworkers is struggling. While you might not be able to do their work for them, you can offer to bring them new materials or go over their work, especially if you’re on a team together.\nIf you do something kind for one of your colleagues, they’ll probably return the favor later on. <img> ",
"Recognize when you’ve messed up and tell everyone how you can do better. Don’t try to assign the blame to anyone else; instead, take accountability if you mess up.\nFor example, you could say, “I misplaced the report we needed and that meant we missed the deadline. I’m really sorry, and I’m going to work on my organizational skills for next time.” <img> ",
"Just a quick “nice job!” can really make someone feel good. Try to point out when one of your coworkers gets something done quickly, works extra hard, or goes above and beyond their job duties.\nPositive reinforcement tends to make people work harder and with more enthusiasm. If you’re in charge of a team, try to encourage your employees to be more productive by rewarding them when they’ve done well. <img> ",
"If there’s a coworker you have a problem with, confront them directly. Don’t spend time being passive aggressive or talking about them with other people. Instead, sit down with them and talk through your issues together.\nGossiping about others is a surefire way to start work drama, which is never fun.\nIf you’re having a big problem with someone that you can’t resolve on your own, consider taking it to your HR department for help.\nTry not to take workplace stress personally. Instead, take a step back and look at what's triggering those emotions so you can start to cope with them. <img> ",
"Show a small gesture of kindness every other month or so. Splurge on coffee in the morning, bring in donuts for everyone, or treat your coworkers to lunch. Chances are, they’ll even repay the favor!\nThese small niceties can really make people see you as a fun, kind person.\nDon’t break the bank—if you can’t afford to buy everyone food or drinks, don’t worry about it. <img> "

Use pen and try to make your handwriting as clear as possible.\nYou can type up your letter so it is more legible on a 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm) sheet of paper. <img> Mail the letter to the White House. Put the letter in an envelope and address it to: Kellyanne Conway, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500.\nMake sure you include your return address in the letter and on the envelope in the top left corner. You can also include your email address in the letter for a quicker response.\nInclude the correct postage on the letter so it makes it to The White House. <img> Notify Conway on social media that you sent her a letter. Take a screenshot of the letter and post it on Twitter. Tag Conway in the post so she can see that you sent her a letter. You can also post a screenshot of the letter on her Facebook page.\nYou may include a short note with your social media post like, “Kellyanne, I sent you a letter recently outlining my thoughts. Please respond!” or “Mrs. Conway, I just mailed a letter to you, would appreciate a reply!” <img> "

How to Sell Your Music on iTunes | [
"K7oNQmM9UH7W",
"XjKoXYhGFt1O"
] | [
"Know that it is difficult to get music on iTunes without an aggregator. Apple has made it hard to publish your music to iTunes without hiring an outside company called an aggregator. Aggregators convert your songs, communicate with Apple, and handle the legal hurdles of publishing music. If you don’t have an aggregator you can still put music on iTunes if you meet several conditions:\nYou must have at least 20 albums.\nYou must buy a Universal Product Code (UPC) and International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) for each song.\nYou must have a Mac running OS X 10.5.8 or later. <img> Review a list of Apple-approved aggregators. There are hundreds of music distribution companies online that promise to put your music on iTunes for you, but luckily Apple has published a list of its preferred aggregators. Look into several aggregators before picking the first one you see on Google.\nPopular aggregators include Tunecore, CDBaby, and Catapult.\nThere are many other popular aggregators that work with iTunes but are not on Apple's list, including ADED.US Music Distribution, RecordUnion, Distrokid, Ditto, and ReverbNation. <img> Consider the upfront cost of your aggregator. Click on the button labeled “Pricing” on the homepage of most aggregation sites. Music distribution companies charge a flat fee, take a cut of your royalties, or a combination of both. General upfront costs include:\n’’’Single Songs:’’’ $10-$15 per song.\n’’’Albums:’’’ $20-$60 per album (first year)\nSome companies charge annual fees to keep you album on iTunes, usually $40-$50 each year. <img> Know if your aggregator takes a percentage of sales. Apple takes 30% of the revenue from every song sold on iTunes already, meaning you are making roughly $0.70/song before an aggregator takes their share. Usually, companies with low up-front fees take a larger cut (10-15%) while other companies charge an annual fee to keep your music online. Some examples include:\n’’’CDBaby and Catapult:’’’ Take 9% off of every song sold, but they have no annual fees.\n’’’Tunecore and ReverbNation:’’’ Take nothing for each song, but they charge $50/year.\nCompanies that take a percentage of royalties usually make you more money if you sell less than 1000 albums. <img> Understand how aggregators pay you. An aggregator is simply a music distribution service that publishes your music on Spotify, iTunes, SoundCloud, and other music services. As such, the aggregator is paid for each of your songs sold on iTunes, and the aggregator then sends you a check.\nSome aggregators pay monthly, others bi-monthly, and some weekly. Research your aggregators “royalties report” timeline to find when they will pay you. <img> Compare the extra features from company to company. For example, few aggregators will charge extra to put your music on Spotify and other music services. Yet some companies, like CDBaby and Catapult, charge $20 per album to buy a UPC, which is essential to sell on iTunes. Other features to look for include:\n’’’Outside Royalties:’’’ Tunecore, for example, will handle TV and film rights for you for a flat fee of $75, while CDBaby will collect royalties from other sites like SoundExchange for free.\n’’’iTunes Preorder:’’’ Some companies (CDBaby, LouderFM) offer this for free, while others do not offer pre-orders (Distrokid) or have extra costs (Tunecore).\n’’’Reporting:’’’ Almost every aggregator will send you statistics based on how your album or song is selling. Some will send you trend reports each day (Distrokid, Tunecore), while others sent reports weekly or monthly (CDBaby, ReverbNation). <img> Sign up an aggregator that fits your band. There are a lot of choices , but the biggest decision to make is whether you want to pay annual fees or a percentage of your royalties. After you’ve made that decision you can choose between the features each site offers by checking the “FAQ” and “Services” pages on their website.\n\nNew musicians should avoid annual fees. Unless you can sell thousands of copies, you will make more money paying a cut of royalties to a company like CDBaby or MondoTunes. This allows you to keep your music on iTunes forever, not until you the day you can’t afford an annual fee anymore.\n\nEstablished musicians should contact small, niche aggregators. Companies like InGroove and The Orchard only a few bands based on their quality and following. However, this means that they spend more time marketing your band and working with you to maximize sales.\n\nMusicians with a large online backing should keep their royalties. Sites that charge annual fees but let you keep royalties are more profitable if you can sell over 1,000 copies a year. These sites are made for mid-range to large bands who can tap into an online community to drive sales. <img> Upload your music and album artwork to your aggregator. Once you’ve chosen the perfect site to handle your music, upload the music and artwork and let them take care of the rest. Most sites get your music onto iTunes within 1-4 weeks, and some boast that they only need 2-3 days.\nSend the aggregator the best quality sound and picture files you have – they will convert them to the preferred iTunes format.\nSome sites, like Tunecore, offer offer custom album artwork if you don't have it. <img> ",
"Wait 2-3 weeks to release your music. The albums featured on iTunes are not paid advertisements -- they're chosen by the iTunes staff as \"new and noteworthy\" releases. Getting your picture and album on the front page of iTunes is one of the best ways to drive sales, so set your release date 2-3 weeks after you distribute your music to give the iTunes staff time to hear your songs. <img> Use pre-orders to gain momentum online. Most aggregators allow you to sell pre-orders, which increases your sales when the album drops. Pre-orders allow you to market your music in advance, giving people sound-bites to get excited about. When the album finally comes out, everyone who pre-ordered the album will be talking about you at the same time, creating social media buzz to drive future albums sales. <img> Have an active social media presence. Today, a strong online campaign is the best way for anyone at home to sell their music. This needs to be prepared months in advanced. Start a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and BandCamp page to make yourself accessible to your fans and meet new ones. More important than having an account, however, is using it. The most successful bands post at least once a day, if not more:\n\nTwitter: Try for 3-5 tweets per day.\n\nFacebook: Post at least twice a day.\n\nPinterest: Post or re-pin another band 4-5 times a day.\n\nBlog: Try to write a post 3-4 times a week.\nConnect these accounts for the most success. For example, put your Twitter handle at the bottom of every blog post. <img> Promote your music. The only way you can sell you music is if you promote it. Talk about it on blogs, ask friends to write you a review, and play some small concerts in your town to get people talking about you. Try to record 2-3 songs to put online so that people can hear you before they buy.\nAsk local coffee shops and bars about playing your music during the week.\nSend you music to college radio stations. They will often play your music and are more approachable then commercial stations. <img> Attach your iTunes link to everything. You need to use your social media presence, music buzz, and concerts to drive traffic back to your album, otherwise you won't get any sales. Make this easy on your listeners by placing a link to your album on your website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Whenever you are out, be sure to mention the album at your concerts or when you meet interested listeners.\n\nCreate a QR code to send smartphone users directly to your music without clicking on any links. <img> "

How to Check a Company's Credit Report | [

"sxqoOtet28ak"
] | [
"Conduct an internet search. In order to acquire a business credit report, you need some basic information about the business including the business name and location. One of the easiest ways to gather information about a company, including where the business is registered, is by reviewing their business website. You can locate the business by searching for the business or owner’s name or and the state where the business is located, if you know the location.\nIf you don’t know the name of the business but do know the location of the business, you can search for all businesses in a particular area or categories of business, such as banks, in a particular area. <img> Search for U.S. businesses. There are a number of online directories that contain business information and allow you to search by name. One place that you can search for U.S. businesses is: http://www.hoovers.com/sales-leads.html <img> Search for Canadian businesses. You can locate information about Canadian businesses by visiting: http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/canadian-company-information. This website provides links to several other websites that provide information on Canadian companies. <img> Search Dun & Bradstreet website. This company collects business information from companies around the world.\nYou must be able to provide the name of the business, the country where the business is located and in some cases the city where the business is located. <img> Search for U.K businesses. For businesses in the U.K. you can locate business information at: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/. <img> ",
"Locate a credit agency. For most countries, you can run a business credit report through an online credit agency. You can identify credit agencies by conducting an internet search for “business credit report” and the name of the country in which the business is located.\nWhen choosing a credit agency, you want to choose an agency that is well established and well known for its credit reporting, such as Experian or Dun & Bradstreet. <img> Register with the credit agency. If the credit agency allows online credit report transactions, you will need to complete an online registration and choose a password. Generally, there is no charge for registering with the credit agency. You may be asked to provide some or all of the following information:\nYour company name and a contact name. If you are not a business, you can try registering with your own name.\nContact information, include email address, phone number and fax number.\nBusiness industry.\nCredit card information.\nA user ID.\nA password.\nCredit agencies that do not use an online system but work directly with the customer may request that you call them directly and request information over the phone as well as provide you with a detailed explanation of the services that they provide. <img> Search for the company. Once you have registered with the company, you will be able to conduct an online search for the business for which you want a credit report or provide this information over the phone directly to the credit agency.\nMost searches will ask you to provide information to narrow the search parameters, such as country, city, or state in addition to the business name.\nIf you search by business name, your search may return multiple search hits. Carefully review the returned business names and check to see whether they match the location for the business that you are seeking.\nOnce you locate the correct business, select the business and you will be redirected to a new webpage outlining different report options.\nUnlike personal credit reports, usually you cannot get a free business report. There are some credit agencies that will provide a free report as an incentive to register with their company. They may require a business email address and phone number to register for the free report. <img> ",
"Determine your credit report needs. You may only need one report or if you are in the practice of investigating your potential business customers or suppliers, you may need a credit report subscription. When determining your credit report needs, consider the following:\nAre you a small business attempting to attract customers with a strong business credit file?\nIs it important for your financial stability to only work with suppliers or customers with strong credit histories?\nDo you receive payment after goods and/or services are already delivered and therefore need to know that business customers are reliable?\nDo you need assistance assessing the financial stability of competitors? <img> Select a credit report. Depending on the plan you choose, you can spend anywhere from $20 for a simple one-time report to $1,500 annually to run a multitude of searches through a subscription service. Generally, reports offer the following:\nA one-time simple report may provide an overview of another company’s credit profile and a credit ranking number for the particular industry.\nAn annual credit check for your own company may provide you unlimited access to your own profile so that you can closely monitor any changes in credit and keep the account updated.\nA second tier report will include a business credit report as well as more in depth financial information about the company and the business owners, as well as credit risk ratings.\nA high end credit report subscription will provide continual monitoring of a company and provide you updates as to any changes in the company’s status.\nAn individualized report may include all of the information discussed above, as well as interviews with employees or other specific and detailed company information. The price of the report will vary based on the amount of time spent on gathering the specific information and the type of information you are seeking. <img> Pay for and download your report. Most online credit agencies will require your credit card information before they run any reports for you. Once you select and pay for your report. Your are usually given the option to download the report or view it online. <img> "

How to Hold a Catfish | [
"BxlyquQBawHQ",
"2W5sUOzML9FE",
"VKgSXE1M1fIQ"
] | [
"Locate the fin spines. Before you start grabbing haphazardly, it’s important to know exactly what you’re trying to avoid. All species of catfish have small, pointed spines emerging from the front edge of the dorsal fin (the one on the back) and pectoral fins (the ones just behind and on either side of the head). For this reason, you’ll want to keep your hands away from the front of the fins at all times.\nThese spines contain a small amount of non-lethal hemolytic toxin, which can prevent blood from clotting properly if the sharp tips manage to break the skin.\nContrary to popular belief, it’s impossible for a catfish’s whiskers to “sting” you. They’re soft, flexible organs that are used to aid in finding food, and pose no threat to anglers. <img> Wrap your hand around the backside of the catfish. Position the webbing between your thumb and forefinger on the rear edge of the dorsal fin. When a catfish is removed from the water, its spines extend instinctively. The dorsal fin spine can actually serve as a “backstop” where you can wedge your hand.\nIt’s generally safer to place your hand behind the spines rather than in front of them, as you’re less likely to slip and run your fingers over them accidentally.\nTake your grip carefully to avoid getting poked, especially if the fish is still alive. <img> Place your fingers on either side of the pectoral fins. Angle your hand so that your thumb and four remaining fingers are pointed toward the fish’s mouth. Make sure your fingers are resting just behind the fins to stay clear of the spines on the frontal edge.\nIf possible, slip your fingers underneath the fish’s belly and press your fingertips together for a more secure grip. <img> Grab the catfish from underneath instead. If for some reason you’re unable to take hold of your catch from the back, modifying your hand positioning slightly will allow you to grip it safely from the other side. This time, cover the fish’s belly with your palm and bring your thumb around so that it sits at a safe distance from the dorsal spine. Then, anchor your fingers behind the pectoral spines where they can’t jab you.\nPinch the pectoral fin opposite your thumb between your middle and forefinger for added control.\nThe firm bones behind each pectoral fin make a perfect place to grip a medium-sized catfish that can’t easily be managed with one hand. <img> ",
"Lift the catfish. Squeeze the fish’s body gently with your whole hand, applying equal pressure all the way around so it doesn’t slip out on you. Keep your grip fixed, only making minor adjustments if necessary. As long as you maintain a safe hand positioning while holding onto the catfish, you shouldn’t have to worry about getting pricked.\nThe combination of slick skin and caked-on mud from the river bottom can make catfish particularly tough to handle.\nA fresh catch may twist and wriggle suddenly in an effort to free itself. If you get caught off guard, you could lose it. <img> Use your other hand for support. A full-grown catfish can get very heavy, so keeping another point of contact on the tail section will make it a lot easier to lift. A two-handed grip will also allow you to control a fresh catch if it begins thrashing around.\nMake sure your support hand stays far away from the spines, as well. <img> Release the catfish cautiously. Whether it’s destined for an onboard cooler or you’ve decided to return it to the deep, you’ll need to exercise caution when letting go. Lower the catfish so that it’s as close to the water as possible. Loosen your grip in one smooth motion, being careful not to let your hand brush along the fish’s back.\nInstead of attempting to toss the catfish away from you, let it slip beneath the surface nice and easy and get moving on its own. Since your fingers will be behind the spines, it will simply swim harmlessly away. <img> ",
"Watch out for smaller catfish. Despite their appearance, young swimmers and smaller species like Madtom and channel catfish present the most danger to fishing enthusiasts. This is because their hidden spines are smaller in diameter, often having needle-like points. Fortunately, their diminutive size makes them easier to handle, provided you take the proper precautions.\nThere’s little to fear from larger prized catfish, since their spines tend to be thicker and dulled with age. <img> Wear gloves to protect your hands. If it’s your first time for catfish, or you’ve had one too many bad experiences in the past, consider investing in a pair of rugged outdoor gloves. The durable material will act as a buffer between the spines and your skin.\nIf you’re in a pinch, you could also cover your hand with a towel before handling your catch.\nOne disadvantage of wearing gloves is that you won’t have the same kind of delicacy and sensitivity when it comes to handling. Thicker pairs may also make the fish harder to hold onto. <img> Seek medical attention for a catfish sting. Should you or anyone in your expedition happen to be pierced by a spine, get to a hospital right away. A doctor will know the best way to clean and bandage the wound in order to prevent infection. In the meantime, scrub the affected area with warm water and antibacterial soap and keep light pressure on it to slow the bleeding.\nUse a pair of tweezers to remove any pieces of the spine that break off inside the wound.\nIt’s not advisable that you leave a catfish sting untreated, even if it doesn’t seem that severe—this is one scenario where the old outdoorsman’s adage “rub some dirt in it” doesn’t apply! <img> "

How to Tell Your Girlfriend That You Love Her | [
"ht1tgo6IHSXN",
"yic2XYg6ZZxX",
"4YWxpYffNh54"
] | [
"Time your moment based on how long you’ve been in the relationship. One of the biggest questions people have is when (how long into the relationship) they should tell their significant other that they love them. This, though, varies from men to women. One study has noted that men take 88 days to tell their girlfriends that they love them, while women take significantly longer. As a result of this, you need to make sure that you’re not rushing the relationship:\nMake sure she’s sent signals to you that she feels the same, even if she hasn’t told you that she loves you.\nDon’t tell her you love her during the first couple of weeks of dating. This is far too soon, and inappropriate. While there may be some couples who are sure of their love so early on, chances are, it’s not you.\nIf it feels too early, it probably is too early to tell her you love her. Wait a bit longer. If she feels the same way, it can’t hurt to wait a little bit. <img> Tell her when you feel the relationship is solid, you are connected, and you want to move to the next level. Perhaps the best time to tell her you love her is when you feel comfortable in your relationship and want to move it to the next level. There is no specific timeline on this, and it varies from relationship to relationship, so you need to gauge your own relationship and your comfort level before telling her you love her. <img> Wait for the appropriate (specific) moment. Telling her that you love her is not something you want to rush. You need to wait for an appropriate moment in which you’ll be able to express yourself and she’ll be able to respond. While you want to wait for an appropriate moment, consider:\nThat there is no “perfect” moment. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, you might wait forever.\nDon’t tell her when her complete attention is not on you.\nDon’t tell her when you’re in the process of coming into contact with other people.\nConsider a natural pause in the conversation after she’s said something sweet to you. This way, your admission of love will be a reciprocation of her own feelings. <img> Wait until the two of you are alone. Letting her know that you love her should be something you tell her when you’re alone. This doesn’t mean that you have to be completely isolated from everyone when you tell her, but you certainly want to have at least a low level of intimacy between the two. Consider:\nNever tell her in front of a group of friends.\nDon’t tell her when you are in front of your or her family.\nGenerally, the less people the better. If you’re alone talking in a crowd, that’s okay. But if you’re the center of attention in the crowd, that might be a bit awkward for one or both of you. <img> Let it be natural. If at all possible, you should let her know about how you feel in a natural way. While you’re going to probably think about doing it ahead of time, try not to script it out word for word and time it to the exact minute. It will come across as more sincere if it seems natural. <img> Make sure you are sober and alert. The best time to say “I love you” is when you’re sober and alert. There are a number of reasons for this. If you’re not sober and alert, you might botch the delivery. If you’re drunk or tired, your girlfriend might question your motives or think that you don’t really mean what you’re saying.\nDon’t be drunk and say “I love you.” Of course, a glass of wine or a beer should be alright (if you’re of age).\nDon’t say “I love you” after you’ve been partying.\nThe more alert you are, the chances are the better you’ll be able to convey your true feelings. <img> Accompany it with a gift. Some men prefer to give their girlfriend a gift, present it, and then tell their lady how much she means to him. This is certainly an acceptable way of conveying your love. However, consider:\nInexpensive thoughtful gifts that are homemade or represent something in your relationship.\nA necklace or bracelet (if you know she’s been interested in something like this).\nIt might come off as contrived.\nDon’t make your gift too grandiose, because it could seem like you are trying to buy her.\nTry not to make a spectacle out of presenting the gift, this could be embarrassing.\nOnly you know your relationship dynamic, so use your best judgement based on both of your comfort levels and expectations. <img> Trust your gut. Telling your girlfriend you love her is something you don’t want to overthink. If you overthink it, it might come off awkward or contrived. Instead, trust your feelings and your intuition. If it feels like the right moment to tell her you love her, then do it. <img> ",
"Invite her to a romantic dinner. A romantic dinner is a wonderful place to tell your girlfriend that you love her. It’ll set the atmosphere, give you both time to talk and enjoy each other’s company, and give you the opportunity to tell her.\nA nice restaurant that you both enjoy will work great.\nConsider a home cooked meal.\nIf cooking at home, try to set the meal apart from everyday meals you might already enjoy together. If appropriate, light a candle and put on some lite music. <img> Invite her on a picnic. Picnics are a nice of way of spending time together with an atmosphere that suggests intimacy but is not too suggestive. Chances are, you’ll both enjoy the picnic, and use it as a time to talk and bond more than you have already. It might create the perfect opportunity to give her your news. <img> Tell her when you’re engaged in light intimacy at one of your homes. Perhaps you want to let her know in the heat of the moment – when you’re kissing or making out. This works for some people, but there are some potential pitfalls you need to be careful about.\nDon’t expect sex. She could think that you are saying it in order to butter her up for sex.\nDon’t tell her during sex. This could come off as insincere.\nDon’t tell her immediately after sex. Instead, wait a few hours at minimum, or even a couple of days.\nMake sure it comes out naturally, and not as some grand sexual plan for the evening. <img> Avoid telling her at sports events, parties, or movies. There are a number of reasons why you should avoid entertainment venues for this sort of thing. Most importantly, her attention won’t be on you. But there are other reasons as well:\nYou both might be under the scrutiny of others, which could be awkward.\nIf she’s a private person, she might be mad that you shared such a big thing with the whole world.\nOnly you know your relationship and your significant other, so use your best judgement. <img> Consider a grandiose moment, if you think it’s appropriate. If you’re both over-the-top, out-going, and flamboyant personalities, then maybe you can consider a grandiose moment to tell her you love her. While this is not recommended for most people, it might be right for you – but ultimately, only you know your relationship and your significant other. If you are the type of person who wants to do this, consider:\nHiring a plane trailing a sign “I love you <name>” over a sporting event or some other event where you and your girlfriend will be outside.\nSending her dozens of roses with a card that says I love you. If you want to go really over the top, you can send this to her work. It might be inappropriate, though.\nThere are many other over-the-top ways of conveying your love, just make sure you think it’s right for your relationship. <img> ",
"Tell her directly, at the right time and the right place. If you think it’s the right time and place, just tell her directly, “I love you.” This is extremely direct, but it’s simple and it will convey what you are feeling. Of course there are a few ways to slightly soften this direct approach:\nSay something like “I have a confession to make…” then “I love you.”\nAsk her for her hand, and tell her you love her.\nLead into a conversation about how you see the rest of your life, and then tell her you love her. <img> Let her know indirectly. You can tell her you love her in an indirect approach, if you feel more comfortable doing so. However, be warned. While this might alleviate some of the stress and anxiety for you, it might take some of the magic out of the moment. If you do go with the indirect approach, consider:\nSpelling “I love you” on a mirror or another surface.\nSending her flowers with a card that says “I love you.”\nWrite her a “love letter” and snail mail it to her.\nUnderstand that an indirect approach could be construed as a grandiose admission of love, too. <img> Communicate your love nonverbally. Sharing your love in a nonverbal way is something many people do. There are pros and cons to this approach. First, a nonverbal signal of love might mean more than just mere words. However, it could also lack the force and emotion of a direct verbal approach. If you’re going to go nonverbal, consider:\nLooking into her eyes at the right moment. If you have a true connection, she’ll understand.\nHolding her and kissing her on the neck at the right moment and at the right place. Perhaps you’re on a beach watching the sunset. This action might say much more than words could communicate.\nBe warned that this approach might be considered a cop-out by some, and might not actually communicate what you want. Only you and your partner can know. <img> "

How to Treat Hypothermia | [
"VLTThDWjE3mg",
"3YrW29A4TvC0",
"XNow9RWygIz9"
] | [
"Use a rectal, bladder, or mouth thermometer to check the person’s body temperature. The person’s body temperature is one of the most accurate ways to determine the severity of her condition. \nA person with mild hypothermia will have a body temperature of 90°F to 95°F or 32°C to 35°C.\nA person with moderate hypothermia will have a body temperature of 82°F to 90°F or 28°C to 32°C.\nA person with severe hypothermia will have a body temperature below 82°F or 28°C.\nOften, a caregiver will notice if a person is suffering from symptoms of hypothermia, as the condition can cause poor judgement, confusion, and changes in behavior in the person. The affected person may not realize they have hypothermia and will need to be checked to confirm their condition. <img> Check for symptoms of mild hypothermia. These include:\nConstant shivering.\nTiredness and low energy.\nCold or pale skin.\nHyperventilation. This is when the person has difficulty breathing or has shallow or muffled breathing.\nThe person may also have slurred speech and be unable to do basic tasks like pick up objects or move around the room. <img> Note any symptoms of moderate hypothermia. These include:\nConfusion or drowsiness.\nTiredness and low energy.\nCold or pale skin.\nHyperventilation, and slow or shallow breathing.\nA person with moderate hypothermia will usually stop shivering completely and may have slurred speech or poor judgement. They may try to shed his clothing even though they are cold. These are signs his condition is deteriorating and require immediate medical attention. <img> Get immediate medical attention if any symptoms are present. Even if the person is suffering from mild hypothermia, you should seek medical care for her right away. Mild hypothermia can turn into a more severe condition if it is not treated.\nBring the person to the hospital if they are unconscious and have a weak pulse. These are all signs of severe hypothermia. Someone with severe hypothermia may appear to be dead, but it’s important to call emergency services right away to determine if they are in a state of hypothermia and can still be treated. This is a life-threatening situation.\nMedical treatment can still be used to resuscitate people with severe hypothermia, though it is not always successful. <img> Check your baby’s skin if you suspect he has hypothermia. Babies with hypothermia may look healthy, but their skin will feel cold, they may be unusually quiet, or refuse to feed.\nIf you suspect your baby has hypothermia, call 911 to ensure he gets medical care right away. <img> ",
"Call 911. No matter what type of hypothermia the person is experiencing, it's important to call 911 for immediate medical care. The first half hour after the person’s symptoms become clear are the most critical phase of hypothermia management. You can treat the person while you wait for the ambulance or medical professionals to arrive. <img> Move the person out of the cold. Place her in a room-temperature spot indoors. If going indoors isn’t possible, protect the person from the wind with other clothing, especially around her neck and head.\nUse towels, blankets, or other clothing to protect the person from the cold ground.\nDon’t let the person help in their own treatment, as this will only expend more of their energy and worsen their condition. <img> Remove any wet clothing. Replace their wet clothing with warm, dry clothing or blankets. <img> Warm the person’s core up gradually. Avoid rewarming the person too quickly with a heating lamp or a hot bath. Instead, apply warm, dry compresses to the center of their body, on their neck, chest, and groin area.\nIf you use hot water bottles or a hot pack, wrap them in a towel before applying them to these areas.\nDo not attempt to warm his arms, hands, and legs. Heating or massaging these limbs can cause stress on his heart and lungs and could lead to other serious health issues.\nDo not try to warm up the person by rubbing his body with your hands. This will only irritate his skin and cause shock to his body. <img> Give the person warm, sweet non-alcoholic drinks. Ask her if they can swallow before you offer them any liquids or food. Herbal tea that is caffeine-free or hot water with lemon and honey are good options. Sugar in the beverage can help to boost their energy. You can also offer them high energy foods like chocolate.\nAvoid giving the person alcohol as it will slow down the rewarming process. Don’t give them cigarettes or tobacco products. These products can interfere with their circulation and slow down the rewarming process. <img> Keep the person warm and dry. Once the person’s body temperature has increased and some of his symptoms have lessened, keep him wrapped in dry, warm blankets or towels until medical help arrives. <img> Perform CPR if the person shows no signs of life. If the person is not breathing, coughing, or moving around and their pulse has slowed down, you may need to perform CPR. To perform CPR correctly:\nLocate the center of the person’s chest. Identify the space between their ribs, a bone called the sternum.\nPlace the heel of one hand over the center of their chest. Put your other hand over the first and interlace your fingers. Keep your elbows straight and align your shoulders over your hands.\nBegin compressions. Push down on the center of their chest as hard as possible. Pump at least 30 times, hard and fast. Do this to the rate of at least 100/minutes. You can pump to the beat of the disco hit “Stayin’ Alive” to maintain a steady rhythm. Allow the person’s chest to rise fully after every pump.\nTilt the person’s head back and lift their chin. Pinch their nose and cover their mouth with yours. Blow until you see their chest rise. Give two breaths. Each breath should take one second.\nCPR is to be continued for a prolonged period. There have been reports of younger patients with severe hypothermia surviving an hour of CPR. If there is another person present, try switching off performing CPR so you don't become exhausted. <img> ",
"Let the medical attendant determine the severity of the person’s condition. Once the ambulance arrives, the emergency medical technician, or EMT, will assess the person’s condition.\nA person with mild to moderate hypothermia and no other injuries or issues will likely not need to be taken to the hospital. The EMT may recommend more home treatment, with gradual rewarming of the person. But a person with more severe hypothermia will need to be observed in the hospital. <img> Allow the medical attendant to perform CPR if necessary. If you have called for an ambulance and the person is unconscious or unresponsive, the emergency medical technician will likely perform CPR. <img> Ask the doctor about a cardiopulmonary bypass if the hypothermia is severe. Once the person arrives at the hospital, speak to the doctor about possible treatment options, especially if the hypothermia is severe.\nCardiopulmonary bypass is when blood is withdrawn from the body, warmed up, and then returned to the body. This is also known as extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO).\nThis technique is only available at major hospitals that have specialist emergency services or units that regularly perform heart surgery.\nA person with severe hypothermia often stands a better chance of surviving if she is taken directly to one of these hospitals, even if it means bypassing a smaller hospital along the way. Alternatives to cardiopulmonary bypass include warmed iv fluids, chest tubes with warm irrigation, and/or warmed hemodialysis. <img> "

How to Cool Your Tongue After Eating Spicy Food | [
"eE2dqQiFR8VP",
"63oAHngvPjXX"
] | [
"Drink a glass of milk. Drinking milk is extremely effective in relieving the burn of spicy foods. It works so well because it contains casein, which is a family of proteins found in milk. Casein breaks down the bonds that capsaicin, the active component that causes the burning sensation, forms on your nerve receptors. <img> Drink an acidic juice. You can also cool your tongue with a big swig of tomato, orange, or lemon juice. These juices can have a neutralizing effect on the pH of the spicy food you’re eating, which will cause relief. <img> Take a shot. Capsaicin can be dissolved by alcohol, but only if the alcohol has a significantly high proof. If you’re of legal drinking age, take a shot of liquor such as tequila, rum, or vodka to help cool off your burning tongue.\nDon’t try to soothe the burning by drinking beer. Beer isn’t effective because it contains too much water and not enough alcohol. <img> Steer clear of water. Though a cool glass of ice water seems like a solid fix for soothing a mouth that feels like it’s on fire, it can actually make the burning worse. Capsaicin is a natural oil, and oil and water don’t mix. Because of this, water won’t change how the capsaicin affects your membranes. The water may even cause you more pain and discomfort by spreading the capsaicin. <img> ",
"Sprinkle sugar or drizzle honey onto your tongue. Sugar, whether in a refined form or a natural form, like honey, can help neutralize spiciness. After you’ve eaten something spicy, sprinkle enough sugar or drizzle enough honey to cover your tongue so that the capsaicin can be absorbed. This will also put a nice, sweet taste in your mouth. <img> Eat some yogurt or sour cream. The fat and oil in all dairy products, not just milk, can work well when trying to relieve a burning tongue. Eat a bit of yogurt or sour cream so that the capsaicin can be dissolved, much like dish soap dissolves grease on your dirty dishes.\nOpt for full-fat yogurt and sour cream for the best results. <img> Swallow some olive oil. While it might taste a little gross on its own, oil has the perfect combination of fat and oil for countering the burning sensation caused by spicy food. Hold your nose to minimize the taste and pour a little on your tongue.\nIf you can’t stand the taste of the oil, peanut butter has similar qualities and should work as a good substitute. <img> Munch on something starchy. Starches, such as bread, chips, crackers, potatoes, rice, or pasta, can all act as a barrier between your mouth and the capsaicin in the spicy food you’re eating, which will lessen the burn. These foods can also absorb some of the capsaicin. <img> Eat a piece of milk chocolate. The high fat content in milk chocolate makes it another good solution for cooling off your mouth. Next time you eat something too hot, grab a candy bar to remove some of the capsaicin from your taste buds.\nDark chocolate has less fat, so it’s less effective. <img> "

"Drape the scarf around your neck for an accessible look. Hold both ends of the scarf and place it around the back of your neck. Make sure there is equal amount of scarf on either side of your neck.\nThis style allows you to easily lift up the scarf and hold it in the air during soccer games.\nYou don’t want the scarf to be bunched on the back of your neck. Instead, flatten the scarf across your shoulders so the team’s logo is clearly displayed. <img> Wrap one end of the scarf across the opposite shoulder. Grab the end of the left side of the scarf and place it over your right shoulder.\nThis allows others to easily view your team’s logo from the front and the back.\nMake sure you drape the left side of the scarf so that it is close to your neck and the rest is hanging over your shoulder. <img> Wrap the other end of the scarf across the opposite shoulder. Grab the end of the right side of the scarf and place it over your left shoulder.\nBoth ends of the scarf should now be on your back. <img> Grab both ends and bring them around your neck to the front. Take the scarf on the left side around the back of your neck to the right side of the front of your body. Repeat this step with the right side of the scarf.\nYou should now have a loose loop in front of your neck as well as both ends of the scarf hanging on either side. <img> ",
"Place the scarf around the back of your neck. Hold both ends of the scarf in either hand. Make sure there is equal of amount of scarf on either side of your neck. <img> Hold the edge of the scarf and place it over your shoulder. Bring the scarf up and toward your neck.\nRepeat this with the other side by holding the bottom of the other side of the scarf and placing it over your other shoulder so that both ends of the scarf are on your back.\nMake sure the scarf is close to your neck but not too tight. Leave about 4 in (10 cm) between the scarf and your neck. <img> Bring the end of the scarf around your neck and place it in front. This piece of the scarf is now on the front side of your body.\nRepeat this with the other side by bringing the edge of the other side of the scarf around your neck and placing it in front. <img> Repeat wrapping both sides of the scarf around your neck. This will create multiple loops around your neck.\nMake sure you are not looping the scarf too tightly around your neck. You should be able to fit at least 4 fingers between your neck and the scarf loops.\nTuck the ends of the scarf into the loops you have created. Once there is not enough scarf to make another loop, simply stick each end of the scarf into a space between the loops. <img> ",
"Pair the scarf with the team's shirt. Wear your team's jersey under the scarf to show off ultimate team spirit! The shirts are usually worn at soccer games but, no matter where you wear this pairing, everyone is sure to know your love for the team.\nComplete the outfit with some jeans, a skirt, or shorts depending on the weather.\nYou can also layer a plain long-sleeve t-shirt under a short-sleeve jersey if the weather is cold.\nWearing a hooded sweatshirt with your team's logo is another way you can show team spirit! <img> Choose a layer that flatters the way you tied the scarf. Keep in mind to wear clothes that will allow you to not get too hot or too cold throughout the day. \nWear a long jacket or cardigan if you have left the scarf to hang loosely on either side of your body.\nIf the scarf is tied in a knot or multiple loops around your neck, layer a T-shirt or tank top underneath a cardigan, sweater, or sweater vest that does not go past your hips. This will create a balanced look. <img> Choose clothes with the same colors as your scarf to look extra festive. Pick a color in the scarf and find a piece of clothing that has that color in it. This will help coordinate your scarf with the rest of your outfit.\nFor example, if your scarf has yellow in it, consider wearing a cute yellow dress to make the color stand out!\nYou could also try matching your shoes to the scarf color. Some blue tennis shoes would look great with a scarf that also has blue in it.\nIf you want the scarf to be the main focus of your outfit, try wearing neutral colored clothing like black, white, and gray. <img> Wear clothes with patterns that contain colors found in the scarf. Place patterns of like colors close to the scarf to make the boldness of the scarf’s lettering more subtle and create a harmonized look.\nLimit the number of patterned clothing pieces to only 1 or 2 to not make the outfit too busy.\nTry wearing a shirt with a checkered pattern that has the same colors as the scarf. Layer this underneath a dark jacket to tone down the pattern.\nYou may also choose a pant, short, or skirt with a striped pattern to play off the colors of the scarf.\nMake sure the other pieces of the outfit besides the scarf and the patterned piece are more neutral (black, white, gray, tan). <img> "
