https://www.wikihow.com/Push-Yourself-When-Running	How to Push Yourself When Running	To push yourself when running, try focusing on something around you, like the trees or something off in the distance ahead of you, which can help take your mind off the discomfort you're experiencing. Also, try to remind yourself that the pain you're feeling is a sign that your muscles are being worked out and growing stronger. You can also listen to some music or sing a song in your head while you run to help get you pumped up and excited. Or, you can promise yourself a reward for after you finish running, like a hot bath or ice cold drink.	Repeat positive mantras to yourself. Pick a certain phrase that motivates you and repeat this in your head before, during, and even after each run. Keep it short and positive in tone. You might say, “I can do this,” or “Keep it going.” Once you establish a breathing pattern, you can say this phrase in between breaths to keep the pattern going. Remind yourself of your strength and accomplishments. Dig back into your memory and recall the last time you felt like stopping during a run. Then, recall what happened when you kept going. You can also think about general moments in life that you are proud of, such as when you graduated from college. Focus on your reasons for running. Everyone hits the pavement for a unique set of reasons. Instead of focusing on the negatives, like leg soreness, think about what you get out of running. Maybe hitting the track makes you healthier and more able to play with your children. Perhaps marathons let you express your competitive instincts. Sing or hum a favorite song. Most of us have a particular type of music or a certain artist that gets us pumped up and excited. Create a playlist on your iPod or other device that includes songs to motivate you to pick up the pace. You could also include songs or genres that are inspirational, such as gospel. Keep adjusting your playlist until it fits your needs and refresh it regularly as well. If you are running a longer distance, like a marathon, you may want to test out podcasts or even audio books as well. Just make sure to keep up the pace as you listen. Envision an end-of-run reward. Focus on a nice, cool bottle of Gatorade waiting for you after the run. Or, perhaps picture yourself enjoying a soothing bath. The reward itself should be enticing enough to catch and hold your interest. It should also be attainable. Many social runners often envision the gathering awaiting them post-run. Some runners actually build a reward in to their route. For example, they purposefully end their run in a beautiful park, near a public fountain, or in an area with a view. This way, they can take a moment to enjoy their surroundings at the end of their run. Get a running partner. If you are in a relationship, see if your partner is interested in joining you on runs. Or, ask a friend or acquaintance. Go to a gym and find another runner who is looking for a partner. You don't have to run at exactly the same pace to benefit from running with one another. In fact, they can even just start off with you and then separate. Or, if they are faster, they may push you to excel. Join a running club. Contact your local gyms or rec centers to see if they have an active running group in place. Or, hit your local running store and ask if they know of any running clubs that are currently active. Participating in a group will keep you accountable and it will also provide an outlet for any questions that you may have. You can also join digital running groups that allow you to enter your run information online and talk with others. These can be a good option if you don't feel like starting up your own face-to-face club. Keep a log of your runs. Get a small journal or notebook and write down your distances, dates, and times. Look over it to see how you are progressing. You can also purchase apps for your phone that will help you to track your runs. Consult your phone when running to monitor your pace. Set reasonable goals. Think about your most recent runs and try to increase the distance or speed up your pace on future runs. It may help to write down your goals for each day's run. Choose goals that you can actually attain or you may get burned out. Consider adding a hill into one run per week for a month, or changing your running route. Break down your run into chunks. When you feel like quitting toward the middle or end of a race, split the remaining distance into pieces. This will allow you to reach a series of small goals on the way to one major one. Each time that you complete a chunk, praise yourself and further divide the remaining pieces. Keep doing this until you reach the finish line. For example, if you have 8 miles left to go, try breaking it into 2 mile chunks. Watch for each 2 mile section to pass and then celebrate mentally before moving onward. You can even break your run down into telephone poles and street lights. Focus on getting to the one in front of you. Once you pass it, focus on getting to the next one. This keeps your distance feeling manageable. Save energy for the end of your run. Make a note of where/when you lag at each race. Then, in future races, start to purposefully slow your pace in the minutes before you hit this wall. You may also need to regulate your pace at the very start of the run, especially if you start at almost a sprint. For some runners, training with an interval workout is helpful is teaching them how to ramp up and ramp down their speeds and energies. Experiment with a different time of day. You might fall into a rut if you follow the same running schedule every day. This may make you more complacent and lead to less of an effort on your part. So, every few weeks, switch up your routine and add a few opposite-time runs in. If you usually run in the morning, take a quick evening jog and vice versa. People who run in the mornings generally see a larger boost in energy and better sleep than evening athletes. If you switch up your routine temporarily, you may find that another time suits you even better. Run somewhere new. Running on the same path can be helpful in that you know the landmarks for pacing; however, it can also get boring really fast. Try to add short new legs to your run. Hop in the car and go to a park for a change of pace. Make sure that you are running on different types of terrain to add in even more of a challenge. All of this will help you to keep pushing yourself to new levels. Find a focal point outside of yourself. To do your best, you'll want to concentrate on the moment. But, you can also find small ways to take mental breaks as well. While you are running, pay attention to the environment around you. Try to focus on the spectators on the sidelines of your marathon. Or, perhaps keep your focus on the trees or greenery. This will take your mind off your discomfort. Disconnect pain from injury. If you are not in pain due to an acute injury, then you can generally compartmentalize the negative sensations connected with pain, thus minimizing its power over you. Don't give pain more power than it should have. If you experience discomfort, start to think about all of the ways that pain can be good. For example, muscles are often sore or in pain before they regenerate even stronger. Just be aware of your body and know how to differentiate “true” pain, such as shin splits, from “false” pain, such as muscle soreness. Be careful when injured. If you know that you are suffering from an injury, such as shin splits, then it is a good idea to modify your training regimen. You may need to run for shorter periods of time or distances. Try to develop a plan to build back up to your desired goals, but realize that you will need to be realistic about what your body can, and can't, do when injured. Respond quickly to serious physical warning signs. There are some moments when pain and discomfort must be taken seriously. If you feel a sharp pain in your shin or hips, it is best to slow or stop running. If you start to experience tightness in your chest or severe stomach pains, stop and seek out help as well. When in doubt, trust your instincts and err on the side of caution. Consult with a doctor. If you suspect that you are injured or if you are experiencing noticeable pain when running, it may be a good idea to talk with your physician. Explain your running routine and ask them for advice regarding potential modifications. View your visit as an opportunity to learn more about your body in order to maximize its potential.	Repeat positive mantras to yourself. Remind yourself of your strength and accomplishments. Focus on your reasons for running. Sing or hum a favorite song. Envision an end-of-run reward.

https://www.wikihow.com/Prune-Patio-Tomatoes	How to Prune Patio Tomatoes	Pruning your patio tomatoes can help to keep the plant healthy and prevent it from getting overgrown. About once a week, you'll want to remove any dead or discolored leaves, new stems that are growing from old ones, and stems that don't have fruit or flowers. If the plant's growing too high, you can also prune the top stems. However, don't remove more than a third of the plant at a time. It's best to prune your plant in the morning when the stems will be easier to break. You should be able to snap the leaves and stems off with your fingers, but if they're too tough, use a razor blade to cut the stems. Don't use shears, since this can leave your plant vulnerable to infection.	Start at the bottom of the plant. It can be helpful to start pruning your tomato plant from the bottom and working your way up. This will allow you to keep track of your progress and you'll be able to clearly see what needs to be removed as you work. Carefully work your way up the plant, pruning any non-essential growth away from it. Most of the pruning will take place at the bottom of the plant. Newly formed stems will need to be removed. These stems take nutrients away from your tomato fruits. Many stems on the lower portion of the plant will not yield fruit. Remove unwanted stems and leaves. Most tomato pruning can be done by pinching off whatever part of the plant needs to be removed. Hold the part of the plant between your thumb and index finger before gently snapping the piece away. You may need to move the piece back and forth until it loosens enough to break off. Most sections of the plant should be easily pinched off. Pruning shears are not needed unless a piece is too big to break away by hand. Using pruning shears can open the plant up to possible infection. If you must cut something from your plant, it's best to use a razor blade. Don't overdo the pruning. It's important that you leave enough leaves and stems for the plant to function properly. Cutting away too much of the plant can cause it to grow slowly or possibly die. Removing too many leaves can expose the fruit to the sun and ruin the tomatoes. If you are in doubt about pruning something, it's best to leave it on. It can be a good idea to leave at least one stem on each time you prune. These stems can eventually produce extra tomatoes. You'll want around 4 or 5 stems on your plant that are producing fruit. If tomatoes would be exposed to the sun, it's best to leave stems and leaves on that area to provide shade. Don't remove more than 1/3 of the total plant while pruning. Prune your plants once a week. Pruning your tomatoes will be an ongoing process. New growth will constantly be underway and you'll want to direct that growth to produce the most tomatoes. Keep up with your pruning by removing unwanted growth around once a week. Pruning too often might remove more of the plant than is necessary. Leaving your plant without pruning could allow for unnecessary growth to occur. Harvesting tomatoes often can result in greater yields throughout the life of the plant. Prune your plants under the best conditions. There are two main things that will help your tomato pruning efforts: the time of day and the weather. It's recommended that you prune in the mornings, as unwanted stems will break away easier. It's also important that you prune when the plant is dry to prevent any diseases from affecting your tomato plant. Know which parts of the plant to prune. The goal in pruning your tomato plant will be to remove any non-essential foliage or growth. To do this, you will need to know which parts of the plant can be removed and which parts need to remain intact. When pruning your tomato plant, focus on removing these extra parts to help increase the amount of tomatoes produced: Most lower branches can be cut away from the plant. Cut away any new stems that are starting to grow from old ones. Any stems that don't have either flower or fruit can be removed. Snap off any dead or discolored leaves. Consider cutting off the main growth. It's common for tomato plants to grow upwards instead of of outwards. If your tomato plant has grown too high, you may consider pruning the topmost growth stems. This will prevent the plant from growing upwards, redirecting growth outwards to the tomatoes themselves. Cutting off the top of the plant will prevent all upwards growth. It's a good idea to only do this late in the growing season, before the first frost. Without the top stem in place, your tomato plant will focus growth into the fruit instead of the stems or leaves. Learn the two main types of tomato plants. If you are going to grow tomatoes on your patio, you will need to make sure they are the variety you want. There are two main varieties of tomatoes plants: determinate and indeterminate. Determinate tomato plants will grow in a small bush and are generally well suited to planting in a container. Indeterminate tomato plants will grow larger than determinate tomatoes, but can be more challenging to grow in a container. Determinate tomatoes are usually the best type of tomatoes to grow on your patio. Determinate tomato plants will likely not need to be pruned. Indeterminate tomatoes will usually require a wire or wooden stake to grow properly. Indeterminate tomato plants can benefit from pruning. Get the right size container. Your tomato plant will need enough room to grow into. If the container is too small for your plant, it may have difficulty reaching maturity and producing tomatoes. Think about how many tomato plants you want to grow on your patio and select the right size containers for them. Keep in mind that tomato plants can get quite large, too. The exact amount of room required may vary between types of tomato plants. Always check the recommended space requirements for your tomato plant when considering a container. As a rule, though, each tomato plant will need a pot of at least 14 inches (35.6 cm) in diameter. Most single plant containers will accommodate one tomato plant. Smaller planters will generally result in smaller tomato plants. You can plant multiple tomato plants in one container. However, you will need to make sure each plant has enough room to grow. Larger containers can allow the plant to grow more and may hold more water in the soil. Provide the best soil. Not all soil will be ideal for your tomato plant. You'll want to provide the right type of soil for your plant to help it grow quickly and fully. Having the proper soil can also have an effect on the quality of the tomatoes that the plant produces. Keep some of these tips in mind when looking for the best soil for your tomato plants: Use only high-quality potting soil mixtures when adding soil to your container. Your plants get nutrients from the soil you provide, so the better the soil, the more your tomatoes will thrive. Adding in compost can give your plants extra nutrients. Peat moss can be a good addition to your soil mix. Avoid using dirt or soil from your yard, as it may not contain the necessary nutrients or composition.	Start at the bottom of the plant.

https://www.wikihow.com/Wear-a-Short-Skirt-Without-Looking-Overexposed	How to Wear a Short Skirt Without Looking Overexposed	If you want to wear a short skirt but don't want to feel overexposed, pair your skirt with more modest layers. For example, try wearing tights or leggings underneath the skirt, which will make you warmer and give you more coverage. If you're worried about your skirt blowing up, you can also wear spandex shorts underneath for extra security. For a bare leg look, balance out the short skirt with a sweater or long sleeve shirt on top. You can also wear a long cardigan or coat, which will cover up the back area of your skirt.	Pick a flared or a-line skirt for comfort. Try a short skirt that isn't fitted and flares out from your body. This will prevent the discomfort and exposure of a tight skirt that tends to ride up the legs. While standing, most short skirts tend to have a hemline a few centimeters above the mid thigh level. Try a skater style skirt, a pleated skirt, or a button-down skirt in denim, velvet, or corduroy for some on-trend fashions that aren't so tight and uncomfortable. Note that flowy, loose short skirts can easily blow up when a breeze comes through! You might favor a thicker denim, wool, or corduroy material for a windy day outside. Choose a skirt that sits at the natural waist. Get a skirt with a waistband that's meant to sit at your natural waist, which is the narrowest part of your torso. While it still falls at a normal length for a short skirt, you can feel a little more covered and secure with fabric covering your midsection. Look for an elastic waistband for extra comfort, good fit, and better ability to move around. Flared styles that rest at the natural waist can help elongate the body and accentuate the waist on short or curvy bodies. Try a high-low skirt. Consider the high-low skirt as a good hybrid of a short skirt and a skirt with more coverage. Find one of these skirts, which can be quite short in the front but longer in the back, to avoid exposure when you bend over or move around. Pair this style easily with dressy or casual tops and shoes, and use it as an easy transition from cooler to warmer weather. You can also try a skirt that is asymmetrical from side to side, so one leg is exposed more than the other. Go for a little extra length in a fitted skirt. If you choose a fitted body con skirt in a stretchy material, look for one that is slightly longer in length. Because it hugs your body, it will still feel short, but a little extra length accommodates for any riding up the material will do. Also look for fitted skirts that just skim the outline of your legs rather than hugging them tightly, as this will prevent it from riding up and give you a break from pulling it down all the time. Try a denim skirt for a fabric that won't ride up, but note that it likely won't be as stretchy and comfortable as a fitted knit skirt. Consider a skort. Try a skirt with built-in shorts underneath for a comfortable style with no fear of exposing yourself when you move around or the wind comes up. Note that “skort” is the name that was originally used for a garment that had a skirt flap in the front but with shorts showing in the back, while a “scooter” had skirt panels covering shorts entirely. In modern fashion, the latter style is favored but the names are used interchangeably. Look out for a style that has skirt panels that fall lower than the hidden shorts so they don't peek out accidentally. Wear loose shirts or sweaters. Pair a short skirt with tops that cover more skin in loose, comfortable fabric. You can pull on some comfy sweaters for fall and winter, or keep the material light and thin for warmer weather while still feeling a little more covered up. If you feel a little uncomfortable with how much skin you're showing with a short skirt, look for tops with higher necklines and sleeves to cover up more skin on top. Pick longer, drapey styles in a top to provide contrast from a structured or fitted skirt. Wear more structured tops that fall right at the waistline to contrast a looser a-line or flowing skirt. Try wearing a short skirt with a fitted tank and then donning a long, sheer top that covers the tank and skirt completely for a fun and unique look that is totally covered up while still showing off the skirt underneath. Layer over the skirt. Add sweaters, cardigans, jackets, and wraps to your outfit so that they can fall over your skirt. This will help break up the short line of the skirt and allow you to feel more covered and secure. Try wearing a long coat or cardigan over a short skirt. Keep it unfastened in the front so you can still show off your skirt and bare legs while being covered in the back. Wear tights or leggings underneath. Pull on a pair of tights underneath a short skirt to cover up your legs a little more for warmth or modesty. Wear a thicker legging for more coverage or for a colder climate. Try a neutral color like black, white, or a shade that matches your skin tone for tights that go well with any outfit. Or, bring a pop of color to a more muted outfit with bright colored or patterned tights. You can experiment with the opacity of tights, too. If you'd still like to show some skin, opt for a sheer variety. If you'd like to cover up more, go for opaque ones. Textured tights, like fishnet, lace, or ribbed can help keep a form-fitting skirt from riding up. Hide spandex underneath. Consider wearing small spandex shorts meant for sports or biking underneath any short skirt you wear. They'll make you feel a little more secure and prepared for a surprise breeze or other revealing accident. Make sure spandex shorts are short enough that they won't show underneath your skirt intentionally. Get spandex shorts in a neutral color like black, or even match them to the color of your skirt if possible. Wear flat, comfortable shoes. Wear a short skirt with flats, sneakers, booties, or tall boots rather than high heels. Heels accentuate the length of the leg, which can make you feel like you're showing even more skin than you are, not to mention that they can be uncomfortable and add to a feeling of vulnerability and exposure. Casual sneakers and flats help downplay the short length of a skirt. Add other casual pieces of clothing to your skirt outfit to achieve a similar effect. Try a taller leather riding boot, cowboy boot, or even a thigh-high boot to cover up more skin while still showing off your short skirt. Walk on even surfaces. Try to walk carefully and on even surfaces when wearing a short skirt. Avoid the skirt riding up or moving around too much by taking smaller steps. Avoid wearing high heels, as these will only make it harder to walk when you have to manage both a short skirt and the risk of tripping or falling on uneven surfaces. Remember the weather and check for a windy day before you don a flowing skirt to walk around outside in. For a day you know you'll spend walking outdoors, you might want to wear a more structured skirt that skims the body with a heavy material that will stay put. Try not to keep tugging at your skirt, even if it may feel too short. It will only draw unnecessary attention. Try to hold yourself confidently while wearing them. If you are a school student, try to avoid all physical activities such as running or jumping. Bend at the knees when bending over. If you have to bend down or move to sit down, make sure to bend from your knees, keeping the hemline of your skirt level rather than making the back come up with your forward movement. Also try holding the back of your skirt close to your body before you bend over. This is especially useful before sitting down, as it keeps the skirt down and flat rather than hiked up or rumpled underneath you. Keep your knees together while sitting. Press your legs and especially your knees together whenever you're sitting in a skirt to avoid exposing yourself. Try crossing your legs or tucking one ankle behind the other to help keep legs closed comfortably when sitting in a chair. If you have to sit on the floor, sit on your shins with your legs folded straight under you. While sitting in a short skirt, almost the entirety of your thighs will be exposed and this will be even more obvious when you're wearing a tight miniskirt. As a countermeasure, you can place a purse, jacket, or other clothing item or accessory over your lap when sitting to help avoid the risk of others seeing up your skirt.	Pick a flared or a-line skirt for comfort. Choose a skirt that sits at the natural waist. Try a high-low skirt. Go for a little extra length in a fitted skirt. Consider a skort. Wear loose shirts or sweaters. Layer over the skirt. Wear tights or leggings underneath. Hide spandex underneath. Wear flat, comfortable shoes. Walk on even surfaces. Bend at the knees when bending over. Keep your knees together while sitting.

https://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Scratched-CD	How to Fix a Scratched CD	To fix a scratched CD, first squirt some toothpaste with baking soda in it onto the CD. Then, use a cotton swab to work the toothpaste into any deep scratches. Next, wipe the toothpaste around the disc in a circular motion with a paper towel or a microfiber cloth. Rinse the toothpaste off with cool water. You can also use metal polish to remove CD scratches. Pour a small amount of metal polish into a clean microfiber cloth. Wipe around the disc in a circular motion to spread the metal polish around. Then, wipe the excess polish off with a clean, dry cloth. Another option is to use petroleum jelly. Just spread some petroleum jelly around the disc with your finger so it's completely covered to fill in any scratches. Then, wipe off the excess with a clean microfiber cloth. Lip balm, furniture wax, and shoe polish will also work for this.	Choose a basic toothpaste. There's no need for the sparkles, swirls, and exotic flavors of some oral care products. Instead, opt for a basic white paste to polish your CD. All types of toothpaste contain enough abrasive minerals to get the job done! Basic toothpastes are cheaper than their flashier alternatives. This can be especially helpful if you have several CD's to polish. Apply toothpaste to the CD surface. Squeeze a small dab of toothpaste onto the scratched surface of your CD and spread it evenly over the surface of the CD with your finger. Polish the CD. Using a radial motion, slowly work the toothpaste around the CD. Start at the center and move in a straight line outward. Clean and dry the CD. Run the CD under some warm water and rinse thoroughly. Then, using a soft, clean cloth, dry the CD and double check to make sure you've removed all traces of toothpaste or moisture. After you've cleaned and dried the CD, use a soft cloth to buff the surface of the CD. Decide which compound you will use. A number of common household products can be used to polish the CD, but 3M rubbing compound and Brasso are probably the most tried and true. You can also use fine-grit polishing compounds designed for cars or hard finishes. If you're using Brasso, make sure to do so in a well-ventilated area, and avoid breathing in the fumes. Always read the safety instructions and warnings on any chemical product as many (such as rubbing alcohol) are flammable and/or can cause skin, eye, or respiratory irritation. Apply the polishing compound to a cloth. Put a small amount of 3M compound or Brasso on a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. An old shirt or an eyeglass-cleaning cloth will both work well. Polish the CD. Use a gentle, radial motion, to rub the compound into the scratch. Start at the center and rub out to the edge, like spokes on a wheel. Do this 10 or 12 times all around the CD. Try to focus your efforts solely on the scratch or scratches that you have identified. When polishing the disc, make sure to lay the disc on a flat, firm surface that's non abrasive. Data is stored on the foil or dye layers on the top of the disc (label side) and the protective top layer can easily be scratched or perforated. Pressing a disc on too soft a surface may crack it or cause it to de-laminate. Rubbing in a circular motion (as opposed to a radial motion) can cause small scratches that throw off the laser tracking system in the player. Remove the polishing product from the disc. Rinse the disc thoroughly with warm water and let it dry. Make sure to remove all of the compound and let the disc dry completely before trying to play it. With Brasso, wipe off excess product and let the rest dry. Then, using a clean cloth, gently wipe the disc again. Test the disc. If the problem persists, polish again for up to 15 minutes, or until the scratch is almost completely buffed out. The surface around the scratch should begin to look shiny with many tiny scratches. If you still do not notice any difference after polishing for a few minutes, the scratch may be extremely deep, or you may be polishing the wrong scratch. If the disc is still not operational, take the disc to a trained professional at a gaming store or CD repair shop. Determine whether or not wax is an option. Sometimes you'll need to physically remove plastic from the disc by polishing. However, removing a lot of plastic can affect the refractive property of the lens making the data unreadable. Waxing scratches is useful because even though the defects are visible to your eye, the laser sees around/through them. Wax the scratches. Apply a very thin coat of Vaseline, chap-stick, liquid car wax, neutral shoe polish, or furniture wax to the CD's playing surface. Let the wax sit in the scratches for a few minutes—remember, the idea is for the wax to fill in the scratch so it can be read again. Wipe away the excess wax. Using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, wipe in a radial (inside-to-outside) motion. If using wax, follow the manufacturer's instructions (some need to dry before you wipe them off, while others should be wiped off while still wet). Test the disc again. If the wax or Vaseline does the trick, burn a new disc immediately. The waxing method is only a temporary solution meant to get the CD working long enough to transfer the data to a computer or new disc. Hold the disc with its shiny side up in clear view of a bright light. See if any holes are visible on the shiny side. Flip the disc and mark the areas holes with a permanent marker. Take 2 small strips of masking tape and stick them on top of each other over the area you have just marked. Note: The CD might make a noise while running but you'll be able to access at least 70% of the data on it.	Choose a basic toothpaste. Apply toothpaste to the CD surface. Polish the CD.

https://www.wikihow.com/Book-a-Hotel-Room	How to Book a Hotel Room	Before you book a hotel room, decide what your budget is and what accommodations you need, like the number of beds or free Wi-Fi. Once you know what you need, use a hotel search engine to find hotels in your preferred price range. After you find a room you like, reserve the room online by filling out your name, your dates of travel, and entering your credit card information. You can also call the hotel directly to see if they can provide a better rate and then reserve the room over the phone.	Determine your budget. Before you look for a hotel and make a reservation, you want to ensure the hotel will meet your budget and your needs. You should first determine your budget, or how much you can spend, when booking a hotel room. This will help you narrow down your search and be efficient with the time you spend looking for a hotel and booking a room. Having a limited budget does not mean you will end up staying in a cheap, dirty hotel. In fact, there are many discount options available for visitors on a budget. On the flip side, you may be travelling for work and have the ability to expense your accommodations to your company's account. In this case, an affordable hotel rate may not be as much of a priority for you. Think about your required accommodations during your stay. Do you require enough room for a family of four, or do you just need enough room for yourself? Consider how big you would like the hotel room to be, including how many beds you require and how many bathrooms. If you are traveling with your family, you may need two queen beds and one large bathroom. If you are traveling solo, you may just need one queen bed and one decently sized bathroom. If you require disability facilities, call the hotel to confirm if they are wheelchair accessible or offer disability amenities. Consider whether or not you require extra amenities, such as a spa or a fitness center. If you need a solid internet connection, look at hotels that offer free Wi-Fi as part of the nightly rate. If you are traveling as a family or in a big group, you might want to consider booking a suite with separate living area and bedroom so that the whole group can be accommodated without space and privacy constraints. Identify your ideal location or area. Sometimes, location can trump budget or required accommodations, especially if you are look for a location that is convenient. Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a work event or conference? Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a specific tourist attraction? You may decide to stay in a location that is central or downtown, which will allow you to access different parts of the city easily. Or, you may decide to choose a more secluded location so you have some privacy and can drive or walk to and from the main areas of town. If you are traveling for business, you may decide to search for hotels that are close to a work conference or meeting. If you are traveling for pleasure, look for hotels that are walking distance to a hot spot, or hotels that offer packages that include car rentals so that you can get around easily. Search for hotels online. The quickest way to look for hotels is online through a hotel search engine. These search engines will allow you to specify your planned days of travel, how many nights you require, your ideal location, and your required amenities, if any. You can also specify how much you are willing to spend on the hotel. Once you enter this information into the search engine, you will be presented with several hotel options. You can order the options from lowest to highest in terms of price, or use the map option to look at hotels that are closer to a certain area or location. Keep in mind that online search engines don't always show extra surcharges or fees for rooms. Note any small print next to the price for the room before you consider it. Some credit cards and AAA providers offer hotel search services and discounts to their members. Contact your credit card company or AAA provider for more information. Compare hotels using discounted search tools. You can also use discounted search tools to compare several hotel options at once. All you need to do is specify your travel dates and your price points. These online sites will then search multiple databases for you and present several hotel options that best match your needs and that are discounted or offer cheaper rates. Read the reviews for the hotels you are considering to get a sense of cleanliness, customer service, and amenities. Weigh the reviews against the price and location of the hotel to determine if it will meet your needs. Some discounted search tools require you to book the hotel room before knowing exactly which hotel you were be staying in. Always read the fine print before you book a room to ensure you're not surprised by any restrictions or stipulations. Call the hotel to get a better rate. Calling the hotel directly can land you a last minute booking or a better rate. You may also be able to get a better sense of the customer service offered at the hotel, as you will be able to speak to the front desk and ask them specific questions about the hotel. Try to call in the late evening, as the mornings and afternoons are often busy for the front desk. You may want to ask questions such as: Is there a restaurant or bar on site? Is breakfast included in the nightly rate? Do you offer non-smoking rooms? Is the hotel near public transportation? Do you offer transportation like rental bikes? How far is the hotel from a specific location or area, such as the beach? Which side of the hotel has a better view or less noise? Is the area around the hotel safe? Are there facilities available for the disabled? What is the hotel's cancellation policy? Reserve the room online. Once you have selected your hotel room, you can reserve it online through the hotel website. You will need to provide basic information about yourself for the booking, such as your full name and your travel dates. You can also reserve the room by calling the hotel directly. Try to call late evening as mornings and mid afternoons can be busy for the front desk. If you are looking for a group rate for a conference or a wedding, call the hotel directly and speak to the front desk. Many hotels do not advertise group rates online and can often offer you better rates over the phone. Pay for the room with your credit card. Many online bookings will require payment via a credit card. If you are traveling on a business trip, you may use the company credit card to pay for the hotel. Always check if your credit card or AAA provider offers any discounts on hotels so that you can use them when you pay for the room. If you are staying at the hotel for an extended period of time, you may be able to pay for the first 2 to 3 nights upfront and then cover the rest of your stay once you get to the hotel. You will then be required to leave your credit card number on file and settle your bill at the front desk on your check out day. Confirm the room is booked. You can confirm the hotel room is reserved by printing out a receipt at the end of your online booking session. You can also ask the hotel to send you a receipt as proof of payment if you book the hotel over the phone. Read over your receipt to confirm that everything is correct. This includes your travel dates and agreed-upon room rates. The hotel should specify all regulatory fees and charges before you pay for the room or reserve the room. Extra fees, such as a cleaning fee or a parking fee, should be explained to you by the hotel so you are not surprised by any hidden fees when you check out.	Determine your budget.

https://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Hare-Krishna	How to Become a Hare Krishna	If you want to become a Hare Krishna, start by reading the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas to learn important history and teachings. Additionally, focus on making the four principles, which include being merciful and kind, a part of your life. Learn to recite the Maha mantra, which gives you peace and connects you to Lord Krishna, and meditate. You can also practice Bhakti yoga by chanting, studying the sacred texts, or spending time with other devotees. Finally, create an altar at home or attend a nearby temple to worship with others.	Study the Bhagavad Gita. This is the primary text that you must study. This text is a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna explains the duties of being a warrior and answers questions about various topics such as: The soul One's relationship with God Bhakti Yoga Karma Yoga Gyaan Yoga Hatha-yoga Read the Vedas. The Vedas were written by Lord Vyasadeva and cover a wide range of topics such as medicine, yoga and meditation techniques, science, government, etc. Four main books (Rig Veda, Sama Veda , Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda) make up this text. The Vedas provide you with knowledge that has been passed down from masters to disciples. The Vedas are filled with hymns of praise to the gods and instructions and details for making sacrifices and the purposes of the sacrifices. In addition to Vedas, there are Upavedas (sciences that are not directly related to Vedic study) such as holistic medicine and music that you can read. Understand the four principles. The four principles should not be seen as restrictions but as a path of freedom and development. These principles guide how you interact with other people and the world. The principles are cleanliness, mercy, austerity, and truthfulness. Keep your mind, body, and soul clean through daily hygiene practices, reading the scriptures, and chanting. Be merciful and kind to all living things. Only take what you need and never take things using violence. Never lie or gamble. Practice Bhakti Yoga. Bhakti yoga means the path of dedication and love. The Bhagavad Gita describes physical exercise of yoga and the spiritual nature of yoga. Bhakti Yoga moves beyond the physical and is focused on living a life of dedication and service to Lord Krishna. Bhakti Yoga is developed through: Chanting Studying sacred texts Spending time with other Hare Krishna devotees Upholding the four principles Eating a vegan or vegetarian diet Recite the Maha Mantra. Chanting the mantra gives you peace and connects you with Lord Krishna. Say the following words, “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare.” The three forms of meditation are japa, kirtan, and sankirtan. In japa, you meditate quietly alone with your beads. In kirtan, you meditate by singing the mantra and with musical instruments. If you perform kirtan in a group, it is called sankirtan. Use japa beads. Japa beads are similar to a rosary beads. When you chant alone, the japa beads can help you focus and count the number of times that you have chanted the mantra. A strand of japa beads has 108 small beads and head bead. As you chant the full mantra, roll one of the small beads between your thumb and middle finger. Begin the mantra again as you roll the next bead. Repeat this process 108 times until you reach the head bead again. You will have completed one round of japa once you reach the head bead again. Work your way up to chanting 16 rounds per day. It is important that you chant every single day. Even if you can only complete one round of chants, try to commit to one round a day. Your beads are sacred and should never be placed on the ground on anything that is dirty. If you want to carry them with you, place them in a special bag. Prepare an altar. An altar is not required, but it can enhance your japa and kirtana. An altar is a special place that you set aside for meditation. Imagine where you would seat a guest that you really loved and adored. This is what your altar should look like. Some items that you might use to decorate your altar include: A picture of Srila Prabhupada (the spiritual master/guru) A picture of Lord Chaitanya (the incarnation of God for tis age) nad his four associates A picture of Lord Krishna Any items that you find beautiful Comfortable chairs and pillows Attend temple. Going to temple allows you to participate in congregational worship and sankirtan. Worship service is usually on a Sunday night. Visit the ISKCON website to find a temple near you. There are some devotees that live in the temple. However, you can still live outside of the temple, yet live out Krishna's teaching in your everyday life. Become a vegan or vegetarian. As a Hare Krishna, your relationship with food is influenced by the principles of compassion, non-violence, and balanced living. Because of this, you should not eat meat, fish, dairy or eggs. Killing animals for food produces bad karma. Some people think the vegetarian diet is sufficient, but others go for full veganism. By not relying on animals for food, you are stopping some of the karma associated with violence. In addition to being a vegan, you should also encourage others to be vegan and support the ethical treatment of animals. Don't forget to research cruelty-free clothes, skin care, and cleaning products, too. Also avoid overeating. Only eat what you need. Spend time with other devotees. It is important to spend time with other like-minded individuals. It will help you grow spiritually and be a source of encouragement. You need to be able to study the sacred texts and chant with other people. Spending a lot of time with non-devotees can slow down your progress. You can find other devotees through Facebook, Krishna Conscious discussion boards, or by visiting the ISKCON website. Going to a temple is the best way to meet other devotees. Follow the guidelines. Do not have illicit sex, gamble, or use any intoxicating substances. These things are more focused on physical pleasure and get in the way of your spiritual growth. Your spiritual needs should always be more important than your physical wants and desires. Illicit sexual activities include any sexual enjoyment outside of marriage that is not for procreation. You should also be married to another devotee. The only allowable sexual activity is vaginal sex without the use of any contraceptives. Gambling includes playing cards, lotteries, dice, casino games, betting, and wagering. When you gamble, you are trying to beat the odds. However, Krishna has already set everything in order. When you are trying to beat the odds, you are actually trying to question the order that Krishna has already established. Do not take any substances that can alter your mind or body such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, illicit drugs. These substances only are used as a form of escape and only offer temporary pleasure.	Study the Bhagavad Gita. Read the Vedas. Understand the four principles. Practice Bhakti Yoga. Recite the Maha Mantra. Use japa beads. Prepare an altar. Attend temple. Become a vegan or vegetarian. Spend time with other devotees. Follow the guidelines.
https://www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Broken-Tooth	How to Treat a Broken Tooth	Before you treat a broken tooth, you should visit your dentist as soon as possible. Bring the broken piece of tooth with you, if you have it, as it can sometimes be reattached. If you can't visit the dentist right away, rinse your mouth with salt water for 30-60 seconds to kill any bacteria that could cause an infection. Additionally, cover any sharp tooth edges with dental wax, and avoid drinking anything hot or cold, since your tooth will be more sensitive.	Look for a sudden pain right after impact or chewing something hard. If you crack your tooth severely enough, you'll probably feel significant pain right after the injury. If you experience this, examine the tooth that hurts and see if there is a piece missing. If so, you've indeed cracked a tooth. Also keep in mind that you may still have a shard of tooth in your mouth. This can cut you if swallowed, so try to spit it out if it's still in your mouth. Save the shard if you have it. Note erratic pain in your tooth. If your crack is less severe, you may not feel immediate pain. Instead, you'll probably experience a more dull pain that comes and goes. Often your tooth will hurt when you're chewing or when you eat very hot or cold foods. If you experience this kind of pain, it would be a good idea to investigate further. Examine your tooth for visible cracks or damage. If you suspect that you may have cracked a tooth, a visible inspection should help confirm your suspicions. Look for a visible crack or missing section of your tooth. You might also be able to feel the cracked tooth if you can't see far enough into your mouth. Try carefully rubbing your tongue around your teeth. If you encounter a rough or pointy section, this would indicate a crack. Look for swelling or inflammation around the cracked tooth. If you have trouble finding the crack, you can also look at your gums. The gum line around a cracked tooth may swell and turn red. Look for this symptom to help locate your cracked tooth. Schedule an appointment with a dentist. Whether you know for sure you cracked your tooth, or are just having pain and can't locate it, visit your dentist as soon as possible. Cracked teeth are treatable, but it is important to visit the dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage. In the meantime, there are a number of steps you can take to protect your mouth and alleviate your pain. Save the shard of tooth if you have it. Sometimes the dentist is able to reattach the portion of tooth that broke off, so you should save it if you can. Take the shard and put it in a container with milk or saliva to keep it from rotting. Then bring it with you when you visit the dentist. You should never try to reattach the portion of tooth yourself. Not only will this not work without proper equipment, but you'll cause severe pain for yourself if you poke an exposed nerve. Rinse your mouth with salt water. Your mouth is full of bacteria, and any injuries can get infected easily. To help stave off infection, rinse your mouth with a salt water solution when you know you've broken a tooth. Mix 1 tsp of salt into 1 cup of warm water. Swish the mixture around your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds.Concentrate on the injured area. Be sure not to swallow any of the mixture. Repeat this rinse after meals. Take over the counter pain relievers to help with the pain. If you've damaged your tooth badly, the pain can be severe. You can treat it with OTC pain relievers until you go to the dentist and get it fixed. Ibuprofen products like Motrin and Advil are usually preferred over acetaminophen because ibuprofen also reduces swelling in addition to treating pain. But if ibuprofen isn't available, take an acetaminophen product like Tylenol. Cover sharp edges with dental wax. Sometimes a chip in the tooth will produce a jagged edge that could cut your tongue or gums. To prevent damage to your mouth, cover the edge with dental wax. You an purchase this in the oral care aisle of most pharmacies. Alternatively, you could also cover the edge with a piece of sugar-free chewing gum. Be careful when eating until you see your dentist. It's possible that you won't be able to see your dentist for several days after you crack your tooth. In this case, you'll have to eat before your appointment. Take the following measures to reduce pain and prevent further damage when eating. Stick with soft foods. The cracked tooth is weakened and susceptible to further damage. Hard foods could make the crack worse and cause pain. Opt for soft foods like pudding, soup, and oatmeal until your doctor performs the necessary work. Don't eat anything especially hot or cold. The cracked tooth will be sensitive to extreme temperatures, and very cold or hot foods can cause pain. Serve food at room temperature to avoid any problems. Try to eat on the unaffected side of your mouth. Any chewing can cause pain and further damage, so if possible you should avoid chewing with the cracked tooth. Have the tooth contoured. If the crack or chip in your tooth was slight, the dentist might opt to contour it. This involves shaving down and polishing the crack to make it smoother and unable to cause any cuts or abrasions. This is a simple fix that should involve minimal pain and only one visit to the dentist. Fill the crack in. If the crack has left an opening in your tooth, then your dentist will probably choose to fill it in like a cavity. This involves using a filling material -- usually silver amalgam or plastic -- to fix the crack in the tooth. The filling will prevent anything from getting stuck in the hole and will keep it from getting bigger. Place a crown on your tooth. If the crack is large enough, the dentist may have to use a crown to repair the tooth. These are usually made of metal or ceramic, and designed to mimic the appearance and strength of a tooth. Have a root canal. If the tooth has been badly damaged and the nerve or pulp is exposed, the dentist may have to perform a root canal to save the tooth. The dentist will thoroughly clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth to prevent infection and hopefully this can prevent extraction of the tooth. If you have a root canal, the dentist may also place a crown on the tooth afterwards to protect it. Have the tooth extracted. If the tooth has been severely damaged, it may have to be extracted. This is usually done when the crack in the tooth extends below the gum line and can't be reached for repair. To relieve your pain and prevent a severe infection, the best option here is to remove the tooth completely. When you have a tooth extracted, ask your dentist what your options are for replacing the extracted tooth. Avoid chewing on hard objects. Many people have a habit of chewing on hard objects like ice and pens. While teeth are very strong, this activity gradually grinds down the teeth. Sustained chewing of hard objects can weaken your teeth to the point that they crack. Avoid this problem by breaking your habit of chewing hard objects. Avoid grinding your teeth. Grinding is when you continuously press your teeth together, usually when sleeping. Over time, this will weaken your enamel and make your teeth susceptible to cracking. Since grinding often occurs when we sleep, it's not an easy habit to break. There are specially designed mouth guards you can wear that will protect your teeth while you sleep and prevent grinding. Talk to your dentist about one of these devices if grinding is a problem for you. Wear a mouthguard when playing sports. Teeth are very often broken and knocked out while playing sports. If you play a contact sport, like football, or a sport where a hard object could hit you in the face, like baseball, you should wear a mouthguard to avoid any damage to your teeth. See this guide from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry for a breakdown of different kinds of mouth guards. If you have trouble finding the right mouthguard for you, ask your dentist for a recommendation. Take care of your teeth. Poor oral hygiene will weaken teeth and make them more susceptible to damage. Luckily, you have control over your own oral health. You can protect yourself from tooth decay and broken teeth by keeping your mouth clean and sticking to regular appointments with your dentist. Read Brush Your Teeth for a full breakdown of proper brushing technique. Remember to Floss after brushing to rid your teeth of any trapped plaque and food particles. Visit your dentist regularly, usually every 6 months, for a thorough cleaning and inspection.	Look for a sudden pain right after impact or chewing something hard. Note erratic pain in your tooth.

https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Glitter	How to Remove Glitter	To remove glitter from your hair, start by massaging your scalp with any basic oil, like baby or coconut oil. Let it soak for 10 minutes before rinsing your hair with shampoo and water. Alternatively, if glitter is stuck to your skin, wipe it with an oil-soaked cotton pad. Then, use warm water and soap to wash off the oil. But, if you need to remove glitter from your clothes, first shake your clothing to get rid of as much glitter as you can. Afterward, use a lint roller to pick up the leftover glitter.	Massage oil into your hair, then rinse. Basic oils - such as cleansing oil, baby oil, olive oil, or coconut oil - can do wonders for removing glitter from your hair. Coat your fingers in your oil of choice, and massage the oil into glittery sections of your hair. Let the oil set for 10 minutes before washing your hair with shampoo. The oil will loosen the glitter from your hair, allowing it to rinse off easily in the shower. Blot your scalp with a paper towel sprayed with hairspray. While the towel is still damp, lightly blot the glittery areas of your scalp. The glitter will adhere to the hairspray, and the damp spray won't get stuck in your hair. Wipe down your skin with oil on a cotton pad. Put 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of any basic oil on a cotton pad or ball. Use the pad to lightly wipe down glittery areas of your face and body. When you're finished, wash your skin with warm water and soap. As with the hair treatment, the oil will loosen glitter from your skin so it can be washed away with water. Use scotch tape to clean stray glitter bits from skin. If there glitter lingers on your skin after washing your face, wrap 2 inches (5.1 cm) of scotch tape around your index finger so that the sticky side is facing out. Once the tape is secure, use your sticky finger to blot glitter from your skin. If your piece of tape becomes covered in glitter or loses its stickiness before your face is clean, replace the tape and keep going. Use a lint roller to remove glitter from clothing. If you can't shake the glitter from your clothes, use a lint roller to clean the lingering bits. The glitter will adhere to the sticky tape on the lint roller. Sweep glitter spills into a large pile with a damp paper towel or a dryer sheet. If you want to remove a glitter spill from your home, first try to contain the spill as much as possible. A damp paper towel works well for sweeping spills on uncarpeted floors, while dryer sheets are best for carpet spills. Use a vacuum hose to suck the glitter pile from the floor. Using the hose, as opposed to the larger vacuum unit, will help contain your glitter spill in its pile as you remove it. Vacuum the large pile until there are only tiny bits of glitter debris left on the ground. Remove all lingering glitter bits with scotch tape or a lint roller. To clean those final, pesky bits of glitter, use the scotch tape method to remove glitter from the floor, or use a lint roller to swipe the area clean. This method also works for removing stray glitter or smaller spills from furniture or other home surfaces.	Massage oil into your hair, then rinse.

https://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Loose-Toilet-Seat	How to Fix a Loose Toilet Seat	To fix a loose toilet seat, locate the screws that hold the seat on. These are usually at the back of the toilet seat. If the seat or bolts are damaged, you may need to go to the hardware store to replace these parts. If they look fine, pry up the cover that is over the screws and loosen the screws so you can center the toilet seat over the toilet. After it is centered, turn your screwdriver clockwise to tighten the bolt into place. Then, simply replace the cover and your job is done.	Find the screws and pry up the cover. The back of your toilet seat is usually connected to the toilet with two long screws that run through the porcelain at the back of the bowl. The screws are secured by two nuts underneath. In the front of the cover, look for a small groove that is designed to help you pry up the cover. Then, use a small screwdriver to pry up both the seat and the cover. In cheap toilets, the screws are made of plastic. Most toilets, however, use steel screws, and more expensive models may even use brass or stainless steel. Be especially careful with plastic screws! Center the toilet seat on the toilet. If the seat is loose, then it may wobble back and forth, in and out of alignment with the rim of the toilet bowl. Straighten out the seat so that it rests evenly atop the bowl. Consider sitting down to test it out for comfort. Tighten the bolt. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten. Remember: "righty tighty, lefty loosey." There's usually a nut with a wing attached to prevent the nut from turning. If there isn't, hold the nut with a rag while you tighten the bolt. Decide which screwdriver is the best fit. Make sure that the screwdriver head is big enough to fit into the notches of the bolt head. If the screwdriver is too small, then the bolt will not turn. The friction from the slipping screwdriver will quickly wear down the bolt and make it unusable. Apply tension. If the bolt keeps turning without tightening up, clamp the nut underneath with a small pair of pliers. Clamp onto the end of the nut, and hold it steady as you screw the bolt. Once you have twisted the bolt several times, the wing on the nut should prevent it from turning anymore. To loosen the nut, spray it with WD 40 and wait 5 minutes. Keep screwing until the seat is tight. When the bolt feels tight, give it one more quarter rotation so it's extra secure. Once the seat does not wobble back and forth, push down the lid. It should click closed. Consider buying a new toilet seat. If the bolts are damaged or the toilet seat is still loose after you tried tightening it, then you may just want to replace the individual pieces but leave the seat intact. If the body of the seat itself is in poor shape, however, then you may just want to swap it out for the sake of longevity. Look for toilet seats at a local hardware or home-and-garden store. Know which type of seat you need. There are two standard commercial toilet seat shapes: round and elongated. The round seats are perfectly round, while the "elongated" seats are oblong and egg-shaped. Buy the seat that matches your bowl. Try to find a seat made by the same company that manufactured your toilet to fit it perfectly. Off-brand seats may well do the trick, but they may not fit quite as precisely. Keep in mind that plastic toilet seats are easier to sanitize than wooden seats, and they hold their color for longer. . Install the new seat You will need to unscrew the old seat, set it aside, and then tighten the new seat onto the bowl. Make sure that the new seat is aligned straight onto the toilet! Save the bolts and nuts from the old seat in case you need to replace a bolt on your new seat.	Find the screws and pry up the cover. Center the toilet seat on the toilet. Tighten the bolt.

https://www.wikihow.com/Act-Cool-In-Front-of-Girls	How to Act Cool In Front of Girls	To act cool in front of girls, pull your shoulders back and keep your head up whether you're standing or sitting, since good posture is a sign of confidence. You should also smile when you're around girls to show that you feel comfortable with your environment. When you're talking to a girl, use verbal cues like “Yeah” or “I agree” when she says something, which shows you're an active listener. If someone makes a critical comment about you, avoid getting angry about it, because over-reacting suggests you can't control your feelings. In case you feel yourself losing your cool, take a few deep breaths before you say anything. Additionally, put on a poker face if you feel anxious to prevent others from noticing how you feel.	Practice good posture. Stand up straight whether you're walking, standing or sitting. Pull your shoulders back slightly to expand your chest and hold your chin up high. Good posture alone can speak volumes for confidence, and you'll be putting off the appearance of coolness whether people consciously notice or not. Posture is one of the core elements of body language, and it's one that stands out the most. Your posture is a reflection of the way you feel about yourself, and can betray a lack of confidence, even if you're well dressed and smiling. Smile. No matter what you're doing, smile. Smiling not only shows that you're comfortable doing what you're doing, it sends the message to others that you're comfortable around them and that they should be comfortable with you in turn. Don't ham it up. A small, pleasant angling of the mouth and a brightening of the eyes is all it takes to announce to people that you're a nice guy who knows how to have a good time… and maybe even has a little mystery about him. Smiling has also been linked to heightened levels of physical attraction, so you'll be doing yourself an added favor by displaying a friendly exterior. Move with purpose. This is a physical extension of being comfortable with yourself and has to do with the way you move around and deal with your environment. Keep your movements smooth and deliberate, and avoid any wasted motion. You should strive to always be composed and carry yourself with ease. This tells people that you're in complete control over yourself and your surroundings. If you don't learn to move economically, your movements will look clumsy and uncoordinated, which can act as a sign of incompetence. Don't gesture wildly when talking to people, as this can be off-putting during conversation. At the same time, don't stand there inanimate like you're too timid to move. Try to strike the right balance. Open yourself up to people. When standing or talking with someone, “open” yourself to them physically by keeping your body facing them directly. Look at who you're speaking to and maintain eye contact. You'll be much more approachable and inviting than you would appear if you were unwittingly closing the people around you off by having your body turned away from them, diverting your eyeline when they're talking, etc. Try not to cross your arms, fidget or tug at your clothing absent-mindedly. In addition to being examples of “closed” body language, it make look like you don't know what to do with them. Make yourself the most important person in the room. Without boasting or acting like an egotistical jerk, take possession of the room and everyone in it. Whether you're talking or listening, you want to give the impression that you're a person of importance. Do this by employing assertive body language (standing tall, remaining open, moving about easily) that encourages those around you to pay attention to you and being staying engaged but considerate. Behave as though everything you say and do has as weight that impacts others. Give the “fake it 'til you make it” approach a shot—assume that all eyes are on you and that people look to you to serve as an example of what “cool” is. Take a moment to think about what you're going to say before you say it. You'll come across as thoughtful, and you'll also be less likely to stutter or make mistakes while talking. Show enthusiasm around people. Display interest when talking to people and be enthused about whatever you're doing. You should make it a goal to become the kind of person that can talk to anyone. That kind of magnetism will pay off once it's time to really start drawing attention; if the girl you're trying to impress happens to be watching, this will convey to her that you're friendly and show a genuine interest in others. Be an active listener. Use verbal cues like “yeah,” “mhmm,” and “I agree” when conversing to demonstrate that you're paying attention. Encourage equal input in discussion with the person you're talking to and thereby establish rapport. After they say something about themselves, agree or mention something about yourself that you can use to relate to them, then give them the floor again. Stay humble. It won't matter how cool you look if you constantly put others down or hog all the attention for yourself. Rather than using your time to show off or brag about your accomplishments, maintain a modest attitude toward yourself. Accept compliments graciously, and break yourself of the need to talk about yourself all the time. The fact is, no wants to be around someone who thinks they're better than everyone else, so be sure to give praise and attention where it's due, not just take it. Those who are truly cool don't feel the need to prove it to others because they are sure of themselves. Being able to recognize the qualities of others is a sign of self-confidence, as confident people know it and don't always need the spotlight on them. Act self-assured. Above all, you should respect yourself and let people see who you are without the fear of judgment or ridicule. Self-consciousness is almost impossible to hide, and the reality is that it's unwarranted in most situations. If you're not worried about what pretty girls or anyone else will think, you won't have anything holding you back. You'll have a better time, and your personality will shine through. Focus on enjoying yourself. Don't let looking good in front of girls turn into a joyless mission. Cool people always manage to have a good time no matter the environment they're in. Keep your cool. Don't let yourself get flustered if things don't go your way in social interactions. If you want to show people that you're cool, it's important to be in control of your emotions. Keep a level head, and try not to appear indignant when you get uncomfortable. When you find yourself getting agitated, take a few deep breaths until the feeling wears off, and remember to keep smiling. Whatever the situation, stay relaxed and make sure that your personable demeanor doesn't miss a beat. Don't take offhand remarks personally. When someone criticizes you or says something you don't agree with, just remember that they're only voicing a single opinion. Your own peace of mind should remain unfazed. If you simply can't help but become anxious or upset, put on a poker face. Even if you're unable to shake it off, you can at least maintain a cool persona by keeping other people from seeing it on you. Dress well. When picking out an outfit for going out, choose pieces that fit comfortably, accentuate your physique and make you look good. Know how to match clothes and how to dress for the appropriate season. A person who is well-dressed is always eye-catching, no matter where they show up; if you want to come off as cool, you've got to look the part first. Wear clothes that are in style to show that you are hip to modern fashions; matching seasonal colors, popular fabrics and patterns and slim fitted garments will all broadcast that you're a man of the times. Take care of your body. Eat right, get regular exercise and go easy on unhealthy indulgences like junk food and alcohol. Make yourself look like someone that knows how to take care of themselves. If you tend to be lazy or act like a slob, this will likely come across in your appearance. Working out and practicing solid dietary habits will make you look better, which will make you feel better, and that will help you project confidence when you're around girls. Eat a diet that is high in protein, with a moderate amount of refined carbohydrates (bread, pasta, etc.) and a minimum of fat. You should consume at least one meal every day containing fresh fruit and green vegetables. You don't have to become a gym rat to look and feel your best, just spend a few hours a week getting your body up and moving. Keep exercise fun by performing activities that you enjoy, like swimming, hiking or cycling. Practice solid hygiene. In addition to knowing how to dress well, take special care to make sure that you're clean, your hair is combed and you've put on deodorant. You'll feel fresh and reinvigorated and are sure to turn heads. Clothes are only one component of looking good—stay on top of good hygiene practices and you'll look like someone who's really got it together. Get in the habit of going through a personal hygiene routine daily. Shower, clip your nails, brush your teeth and make sure you're clean and presentable before going out. Be comfortable with yourself. Relax! This is one of the most important steps for acting cool. No matter what you're doing, try to be confident and at ease. Treat every action or conversation like it's something you've done a thousand times. This is especially critical when interacting with or around girls you're attempting to impress. If you've taken all the steps necessary to look good but appear uncomfortable in your own skin, you'll just end up signaling that you're trying too hard. If you tend to be tense in public places or when meeting new people, take a few moments to prepare yourself mentally before you go out. Plan your activities in advance so that there will be no surprises. Practice things you might say when making an introduction. Be able to laugh at yourself when you goof up. It indicates a positive attitude and a sense of humor, both traits that people are drawn to.	Practice good posture. Smile. Move with purpose. Open yourself up to people. Make yourself the most important person in the room. Show enthusiasm around people. Stay humble. Act self-assured. Keep your cool. Dress well. Take care of your body. Practice solid hygiene. Be comfortable with yourself.
https://www.wikihow.com/Tackle-in-Rugby	How to Tackle in Rugby	To tackle successfully in rugby, first, make sure you have the right mindset by approaching the tackle with confidence, instead of worrying about if you're going to be successful. If you want to properly follow through with your tackle, start from 2 meters away so you have enough space and time to generate power, but are close enough not to miss. During the tackle, stay upright for as long as possible, and keep your head and eyes focused on your opponent. Typically, watching your opponent's waist or thighs is a more reliable indicator about where they will run than watching their eyes, shoulders, or feet. Furthermore, try not to put your head down too early, or you could misjudge and miss your opponent completely.	Approach the tackle with confidence. If you go into a tackle without thinking you're going to succeed, you're making a big mistake. Having the mental edge makes a big difference. You have to be the one who wants it more. It doesn't matter if you're outsized, as long as you utilize proper tackling technique you can prevail over larger ball carriers. Don't panic! Losing your confidence leads to hesitating, which could cost you your advantage as the initiator of the contact. Stay upright as long as you can. When you lose verticality you lose the ability to move laterally. This makes staying in line with your target very difficult. This is where the right stance comes into play. Keep your knees bent with your feet shoulder-width apart, your head up, and your back straight. Keep your arms up and ready to engage the runner. It's imperative to maintain a low center of gravity relative to your target. Whoever gets lower has more leverage through the hit. Keep your head and eyes focused. Committing to the tackle and putting your head down too early can cost an embarrassing misfire. Watch your opponents waist instead of his eyes, shoulder, or legs. Typically, the waist is a reliable indicator of the direction the runner will take. Position yourself at the correct distance. You want to begin your tackling process about 2 meters from the ball carrier. This gives you enough space to work through your tackling technique and generate power while staying in close enough proximity to ensure you won't miss. Imagine there is a circle around the target player that extends about the length of their body in all directions. You should only begin your tackling motion once you've stepped inside the circle. Determine the safe side of the ball carrier. The runner rarely approaches a defender head-on, as this would decrease his chances of escaping the tackle. Therefore, it's up to the defender to recognize the angle the runner takes and intercept that path. The side closest to the defender is the safe side, and focusing on landing the tackle on the safe side increases the likelihood of a solid hit. Perform proper collision tackles. When you and the ball carrier are heading towards one another, it's important to use proper technique to bring him down. Once you've identified the safe side and assumed a good stance, establish first contact by pressing your shoulder into the midsection of the ball carrier. Hitting too high or too low can allow the runner to break out of the tackle easier, so focus on the area between the thigh and torso. Once you've entered the imaginary tackling circle, wait for the last possible moment to lower your upper body and drive your shoulder into the runner, with your head to his side. As you connect with the shoulder, wrap your arms tightly around the ball carrier's thighs. Swinging the arms into the runner adds momentum and force to more effectively hinder his progress at the onset of the tackle. Don't slow down! Many players make less effective tackles, or miss them completely, by giving up their forward momentum. Avoid planting your feet as you make contact and be sure to drive through the hit by pushing forwards with your legs. Make a proper tackle when chasing the ball carrier. Not all tackles are made face to face. Often times, you'll have to track down a ball carrier by sprinting down field. When this happens, there's no opportunity to drive them backwards, so understanding how to bring them down from behind can be the difference between giving up a try and saving one. Jersey tackling, or pulling a player down by his jersey is frowned upon and may result in a penalty. Many refs turn a blind eye to this if there's no flagrant intent to harm a player. Consider it as a last resort, and be careful not to inflict unnecessary harm. A tap tackle is made by grabbing at the ball carrier's leg beneath the knee. At high speeds, even the slightest contact can disrupt a runner when planting his foot and lead to an effective trip up. Dive at the runner if you can't catch up to make a full tackle and try to put as much force as you can into the contact against their feet or ankles. Utilize a tackling form that fits the situation. Sometimes you can't get in front of a player, or the pace of play is somewhat abnormal and you have to adjust your technique. If you can't position yourself in front with enough time to make the hit, try slowing a ball carrier down with an outstretched arm. While a strong runner will likely brush you off, it may allow a teammate the extra second to get into position and finish the job. Also consider smothering your opponent. When wrapping the waist isn't an option, you may be able to throw your arms over the ball carrier's shoulders or around his chest to weigh him down by holding tight and hanging on him. As always, never give up momentum with any type of tackle. Keep your speed up and be sure that you're the one initiating the contact, not absorbing it. Drive forward with the power of your legs. You got low in your stance and you kept the momentum going as you made contact. Don't make the mistake of thinking the tackle is over before the ball carrier hits the ground. This step is about more than pushing with your legs, it's about continuing to move your feet. Think about trying to push the runner backwards and keep your feet churning with small, hard steps. Apply pressure with your arms and shoulders. This applies mostly to the collision or shoulder tackling technique used most often in rugby. Once you've wrapped you arms around the ball carrier's thighs and positioned your shoulders against his midsection, you're ready to create opposing forces to knock his body off balance and take him down. Pull up and in with your arms to disrupt the motion of the ball carrier's feet. At the same time, use your upper body (head and shoulders) to drive his midsection backwards. Driving through the ball carrier this way will uproot him from the ground and knock him off balance, completing a solid tackle. Prepare to keep playing. After you've made the tackle, the game goes on. Retain your focus on the greater goal of winning the game and making the next play as well as the last. No matter what you'll have to release the ball carrier. The ball may be played out, in which case you should hurry to rejoin your team and get back in position. Other times play will develop on top of the tackle, most often in the form of a scrum or ruck. In this case, it's best to cover your head and face for protection and be careful not to obstruct the play, as it could result in a penalty.	Approach the tackle with confidence. Stay upright as long as you can. Keep your head and eyes focused. Position yourself at the correct distance. Determine the safe side of the ball carrier. Perform proper collision tackles. Make a proper tackle when chasing the ball carrier. Utilize a tackling form that fits the situation. Drive forward with the power of your legs. Apply pressure with your arms and shoulders.

https://www.wikihow.com/Be-Pretty	How to Be Pretty	To look your prettiest, take good care of yourself to bring out your natural beauty. Get 8-10 hours of sleep every night, and stay hydrated by drinking about 8 glasses of water each day. Wash your face and apply moisturizer twice a day to keep your skin healthy and glowing, and keep your nails clean and trimmed. Keep your hair clean and brushed, and brush and floss your teeth twice a day. If you like, you can also wear light makeup to accentuate your best features.	Get plenty of sleep. Being well-rested can drastically improve your appearance. Most adults need about eight hours of sleep, but teenagers can require up to ten. Drink at least 8 cups (1,900 ml) of water a day. Staying fully hydrated will make you look better by clearing up your skin, improving the health of your hair and nails, and keeping your body healthy. If you mostly drink soda, coffee, or juice, try replacing some of them with water until you are drinking at least 8 cups (1,900 ml) daily. Alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, and drugs are especially bad for your appearance and health. Bathe every day. Be sure you shower every day and clean yourself thoroughly with soap and water. How often you wash your hair will depend on your hair type, but you should at least clean your body daily. Use moisturizer on your skin. You should use a moisturizer on your face and body every day, even if you have oily skin--moisturizer will stop your skin from producing its own oils. You can use any kind, but check the label first to see if it's the best kind for your skin type. Keep your nails clean and trimmed. You don't have to put on a new shade of nail polish every day, but your nails should be clean and manicured all the time. Clip and file your nails so they are even and clean under them daily. If you wear polish, check for chips every day and fix them if you have polish on hand. Biting your nails is the best way to break them and make them weaker. Refrain for biting them at all costs. Dip your hands in lemon or rub lemon on your nails and fingertips so if you feel the urge to bite them you will taste lemons. Make sure your hair is clean and styled every day. Keep your hair brushed and styled every single day. Make sure your hair doesn't have any knots or tangles, and that it is neat and clean. If your hair gets flat and oily by the end of the day, try to wash it every day; otherwise, every other day is fine. Wear deodorant or perfume. Smelling nice is an essential part of being pretty! Be sure you use deodorant every single day. You can also wear perfume--many people have a signature scent they wear every day. If you don't wear much perfume, try a light floral or fruit scent first. But always be careful to not wear too much. Don't use deodorant or perfume as a substitute for bathing. People can tell. Use as little perfume as possible, and only use it on pulse points like your wrists and neck. Your perfume should be a subtle fragrance that people only notice when they're next to you, not a strong smell that hangs in the air around you. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day. Pretty people keep their teeth as clean as possible. Brush and floss at least twice a day, and be sure to use mouthwash or mints to keep your breath smelling fresh. Carry floss with you, and use it after every meal or snack. It's okay if your teeth are crooked or if you wear braces. Just make sure they're clean and white. Improve your posture. It's hard to imagine a pretty person slouching! Practice sitting with your back straight against a chair and walking with your chin parallel to the ground. It will make you look more confident and attractive! Wear light makeup. If you aren't happy with your looks, try wearing a little bit of makeup. Light makeup will help you accentuate your best features, and it's much easier to learn to apply than a full face of makeup. Keep practicing until your makeup looks natural and is easy for you to apply. Keep your clothes clean and pressed. Wearing clothes that are wrinkled or stained can make you look messy, unattractive, or even dirty. Iron your clothes before wearing them and be sure they're clean when you put them on. Read the instructions on your clothing labels. Some clothes can't be ironed or can only be ironed on a low setting. If you don't want to iron, try hanging clothes up immediately after you dry them, or letting them run in a dryer on the permanent press cycle. Wear clothes that fit properly. You don't have to wear the latest trends to be pretty. A great shortcut is to make sure all your clothes fit you properly. Don't wear clothes that are too tight or too baggy. None of your clothes should be so tight that they pinch you, show your underwear, or are hard to put on and take off. They also shouldn't hang loosely off your shoulders or hips, or need to be adjusted as you go about your day. Consider getting a makeover. If you still feel hopeless about your looks, you might just need a little outside perspective. Call your local makeup store, hair salon, or beauty counter and schedule a makeover. They'll be able to teach you tricks and techniques you hadn't considered before, and you'll go home looking great! If you can't afford a professional makeover, ask a friend or relative who's into makeup and beauty to help you. Don't feel intimidated about going into a makeup shop or hair salon. They've seen everything and they're here to help you. Say something positive about yourself every day. A great way to improve your confidence and begin to feel pretty is to take a little bit of time every day to say something positive about yourself. You can set an alarm for the same time to remind you, or even just practice saying something positive every time you think something negative about yourself. Try saying something like “My eye color is beautiful” or “I did a great job putting together this outfit today” or “I did great on that algebra test.” Learn to accept compliments. If you ignore or shut down other people's compliments, they'll think you don't want to hear anything good about yourself. When somebody says something good about you, resist the urge to say something like “No, you're wrong.” Instead, say “Thank you! That really means a lot to me.” Avoid comparing yourself to others. You are a unique individual, and nobody has the same life and the same circumstances as you. Don't worry too much about what other people are doing or what they have that you don't. If you start to compare yourself to others, tell yourself that you're a different person and you have your own set of positive qualities. Try something new every day. A great way to build confidence is to branch out and try new things every chance you get. It doesn't have to be anything huge--it can be as easy as wearing a new hat or taking a different route to school. Make a goal to try something new every single day. If you usually wear dark or neutral-colored clothes, try wearing a bright blue top one day. Join a new club at school. Order something different at your favorite restaurant. Take more selfies. Selfies are a great way to boost your confidence. Spend some time snapping a few dozen photos of yourself. Look through them and pick out the one you like the best. You don't have to post it, but you can still decorate it with a filter or sticker. It's totally normal to hate some of your selfies! Even supermodels have outtakes they don't want anyone to see. Act confident even if you don’t feel it. It's normal for it to take awhile to start feeling confident. If you're trying to improve your confidence but aren't feeling it yet, try faking confidence! It sounds silly, but if you act confident all the time, you'll soon find that you really are confident. Smile and make eye contact throughout your day. Lots of people who aren't necessarily great-looking have an inner beauty that radiates and attracts others. Practice your inner beauty by smiling and making eye contact with the people you encounter every day. It doesn't matter if you know them or not--everyone likes a smile! Many people interpret smiling and making eye contact as an invitation to chat. If you're in a hurry or don't want to talk, be sure to make the eye contact last for only a second. Be friendly and polite towards everyone. Be nice to everyone you meet. Introduce yourself if you don't know them, and address them by name. Ask how they're doing and take an active interest in their lives. This doesn't mean that you should let people treat you badly--if you have to tell someone to stop or to leave you alone, do so clearly and firmly. Show your loved ones how you feel about them. If you care about someone, let them know how you feel. You can simply say “I care about you” or “I love you”, but it doesn't have to be direct. You can also show them how you feel by paying attention to them, listening to any problems they have, and making time for them. Tell your parents that you appreciate all they do for you. Text your best friend a note saying she's awesome and the best friend ever. Offer to help others as often as you can. People are more likely to find a helpful person attractive and enjoyable to be around. If you are in a situation where you can help someone, do it! Offer to open doors, carry boxes, or help someone with their homework. Don't go overboard. You shouldn't offer to help do something if you aren't fully up to the job. Offering to help too often can lead to burnout and being taken advantage of. Tell other people they’re pretty. Pretty people don't just sit back and reflect on how pretty they are. They look for beauty in other people too! Look at the people you care about and the people you interact with, and find something nice to say about everyone's appearance. Once you get into the habit of looking for beauty in others, you'll be able to see it in yourself too. You don't have to walk up to people and announce “You're pretty.” Try saying something like “I like your haircut” or “You look nice today.”	Get plenty of sleep. Drink at least 8 cups (1,900 ml) of water a day. Bathe every day. Use moisturizer on your skin. Keep your nails clean and trimmed. Make sure your hair is clean and styled every day. Wear deodorant or perfume. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day. Improve your posture. Wear light makeup. Keep your clothes clean and pressed. Wear clothes that fit properly.

https://www.wikihow.com/Replace-Awning-Fabric	How to Replace Awning Fabric	You can replace awning fabric by removing the roller and spring, sliding on the new fabric, and then reassembling the awning. To remove the awning, you'll need to take out the bolts holding the awning to the RV and the ones holding the fabric to the track so you can slide the fabric out. Then, you'll need to use a box wrench to remove the bolts that hold the legs of the awning and remove them. Unroll the spring with a vise grip, slide the spring out of the roller tube, and roll the old fabric off of it. Insert the new awning into the channels on the roller tube and slide it all the way down to install it. Roll the fabric up and reattach the legs before you put the awning back onto the RV.	Remove the bolts holding the awning to the top of the RV. Get onto a step ladder, and find the bolts holding the awning to the top of your RV. You can find them on either side of the awning, and what secures the metal legs to the RV. Use a cordless electric drill to remove these bolts. Put the bolts into a plastic bag. Label the bag clearly, then set it aside. Remove the screws holding the fabric to the track. If you take a close look, you'll notice that the fabric is tucked into a track. There is a set of screws holding the fabric to the track so that it does not slide around. Use your electric drill to remove these screws; there's 1 screw at each end of the track. Place the screws into another plastic bag. Label the bag and set it aside as well. Have someone help you pop the lower legs out and prop the awning up. Head down to the bottom of your RV and find the brackets holding the legs in place. Working together with another person, pop these legs out of the brackets. Extend the legs, then stand them up on the ground so that the awning is propped up. Flip the control lever to extend the awning by 1 foot (30 cm). Find the control lever on the right side of the awning's roller tube. Flip it, just like you would when fully extending the awning. Use the awning rod to pull the awning away from the RV by 1 foot (30 cm). Cover the sharp edges of the brackets with tape. There will be a metal bracket at each end of the awning's roller tube. The edges of these brackets are sharp, so cover them with pieces of masking tape or electrical tape. This will keep you or your RV from getting scratched up. Spread open the end of the track with a flathead screwdriver. Stick the end of a flathead screwdriver into the end of the track; it does not matter which end of the track. Move the screwdriver up and down like a lever to pry apart the end of the track. This will make it easier to slice the fabric out. If the fabric is old, there may be some sealant connecting it to the track. Cut this sealant away. If you notice any grit, scrape that away too. Work with 1 or 2 other people to slide the fabric out of the track. Have a person grab hold of each awning leg. Lift the legs up off the ground, and begin to walk alongside the RV, towards the end of the track that you split open. If needed, have a third person tug the fabric along the track. Set the awning roller on the ground. Working together with the second person, slowly lower the awning onto the ground. It would be even better if you placed a set of cinder blocks or large bricks under the awning roller to prop it up. Consider working on top of a tarp. This way, if you drop anything, it will be easier to find. Lock the spring on the back end of the awning roller tube. Find the plastic cap on the left side of the tube. It is smaller than the main endcap and typically black. Pop the cap off, then insert a Philips head screwdriver into the hole. This will lock the spring inside the roller tube. The back of the awning roller tube is on the left. The front of the roller tube is on the right side. Remove the bolt and leg from the front end of the awning roller tube. Head over to the right side of the roller tube. Have someone hold the awning leg steady for you. Use a box wrench to loosen the bolt that holds the leg onto the roller tube, then remove both the bolt and the leg. Set them aside on the ground. Reinsert the bolt and cover the bracket with tape. Leave the awning leg on the ground. Put the bolt back into the roller tube. Cover the exposed bracket edges with masking tape or electrical tape. This will keep you from getting scratched. Use a vise grip to release pressure, flip the lever, then unroll the spring. Clamp a vise grip onto the bolt. Lift the vise to release the built-up pressure. Flip the lever to the "roll-off" position. Use the vise grip to unroll the spring clockwise; count the rotations. It is very important that you count the rotations. You will need to use the same amount to screw the bolt back on. Mark the lever on the roller tube, then remove the vise grips. Find the control lever, then mark its position on the roller tube with a permanent marker. You'll be taking the roller tube out shortly. Having the tube marked will ensure that you put everything back together as it was. Remove the pop rivets from the endcap, then remove the spring. Use a cordless drill to loosen the pop rivet. Tap the rivet with a hammer to remove it the rest of the way. Rotate the roller tube so that you can see the underside, and repeat the process for the second pop rivet. Pop rivets are a type of screw. You will find them on the outer edge of the endcap. They are what secures the endcap to the roller tube. Have someone help you rotate the roller tube. A person at each end of the tube should do the trick. Slide the spring assembly out of the roller tube. Grab the endcap and pull it off of the roller tube. The spring assembly should come out right with it. Set the endcap and the spring assembly down someplace safe. Roll the old fabric off of the tube, then mark the channels. Ask a helper to stand at the other end of the tube. Working with the other person, roll the fabric off of the tube so that the bare metal is exposed. Note the channels that the fabric is tucked into, and mark them with a permanent marker. There are usually 3 channels, but the fabric is only inserted into 2 of them. If your awning has a valance, draw a "V: next top the channel that the valance is tucked into. Slide the old fabric off of the roller tube. Have someone hold the end of the roller tube while you pull the fabric off. It might be easier to slice the fabric down the middle, between the 2 channels, with a knife first. This way, you can slide the fabric off in 2 pieces. Discard the fabric when you are done. Spray silicone lubricant into the channels you marked. Get a spray silicone lubricant with a nozzle. Place the nozzle into the channel, then squeeze the trigger as you walk alongside the roller tube. Do not use silicone caulking. It is not the same thing. You can find spray silicone lubricant online and in hardware stores. Insert new awning fabric into channels you marked. Get out your new awning fabric and position it over the front of the roller tube. Tuck the ends of the fabric into the channels that you marked and ensure that it is centered. Also, make sure that the valance is in the channel you marked with a "V." Awning fabric has beading inside it. Make sure that this beading is inside the channels. Slide the fabric down the length of the roller tube. Hold the fabric firmly to either side of the 2 channels. Have another person hold the roller tube steady for you. Slowly walk down the length of the tube towards the end, pulling on the fabric as you do so. The silicone lubricant should make this step easy. If needed, spray more lubricant into the channels. Roll the fabric onto the roller tube with 1 to 2 other people. Have 1 person at each end of the roller tube. Working with the other person, roll the fabric around the tube. You will need to lift the tube up as you pull the fabric under it. Use a third person to help smooth the fabric as needed. Reinsert the spring assembly and the pop rivets. Pick the spring assembly up and slide it back into the roller tube. Rotate the endcap until the line you made earlier matches up with the awning control lever. Use a pop riveter to reinsert the rivets. Do the top rivet first, then rotate the tube and do the bottom rivet. Clamp the vise back on and rotate it the same amount as before. Place the vise grip back onto the bolt. Lock it into place, then rotate it counterclockwise. Count the rotations as you rotate it, then stop when you reach the number you counted earlier. Remove the vise, reattach the awning leg, and peel the tape off. Take the vise grip off first. Pop the awning leg back into place, then reinsert the bolts and screws. Peel the tape off of the bracket. Snap the bracket legs back in, then remove the tape and screwdriver. Take the legs that are attached to the RV, and lower them into the legs on the ground. Snap them back into place, then peel the tape off of the top brackets. Remove the Philips head screwdriver from the back/left end of the roller tube and replace the plastic cap. Clean and lubricate the track, then cover the open end with tape. Cover the end of a flathead screwdriver with a paper towel, then stick it into the track. Slide the screwdriver back and forth along the track to remove any dirt. Lubricate the track, then cover the split end with tape. Spray the inside of the track with spray silicone lubricant, just like you did for the 2 channels on the roller tube. The split end of the track is the end that you pried open with the flathead screw driver. The edges are sharp, so cover them with masking or electrical tape. Slide the fabric into the track with 2 other people helping you. This is just like when you slid the fabric out of the track, but in reverse. Have a person hold up each awning leg. Have a third person slide the end of the fabric into the split end of the track. Walk alongside the RV, tugging on the fabric as you go. Remove the tape from the brackets and screw them back into place. Prop the legs on the ground, and roll the awning out by 1 foot (30 cm). Remove the tape from the brackets, then screw them back into place. When you are done, you can snap the legs back into place at the base of the RV. For an even more durable finish, coat the screws with a waterproof sealer first. Silicone caulking will work great here. Snap the legs back into place and straighten the awning. If you have not already, snap the awning legs back into place at the base of the RV. Unroll and reroll the awning a few times until you find the pull strap. If the awning is not straight, unroll and reroll it a few more times, tugging on the edges as needed. Reinsert the screws. Find the screws that held the awning fabric to the track. Place them back into the track, and screw them in place. Your awning is now complete.	Remove the bolts holding the awning to the top of the RV. Remove the screws holding the fabric to the track. Have someone help you pop the lower legs out and prop the awning up. Flip the control lever to extend the awning by 1 foot (30 cm). Cover the sharp edges of the brackets with tape. Spread open the end of the track with a flathead screwdriver. Work with 1 or 2 other people to slide the fabric out of the track. Set the awning roller on the ground. Lock the spring on the back end of the awning roller tube. Remove the bolt and leg from the front end of the awning roller tube. Reinsert the bolt and cover the bracket with tape. Use a vise grip to release pressure, flip the lever, then unroll the spring. Mark the lever on the roller tube, then remove the vise grips. Remove the pop rivets from the endcap, then remove the spring. Slide the spring assembly out of the roller tube. Roll the old fabric off of the tube, then mark the channels. Slide the old fabric off of the roller tube. Spray silicone lubricant into the channels you marked. Insert new awning fabric into channels you marked. Slide the fabric down the length of the roller tube. Roll the fabric onto the roller tube with 1 to 2 other people. Reinsert the spring assembly and the pop rivets. Clamp the vise back on and rotate it the same amount as before. Remove the vise, reattach the awning leg, and peel the tape off. Snap the bracket legs back in, then remove the tape and screwdriver. Clean and lubricate the track, then cover the open end with tape. Slide the fabric into the track with 2 other people helping you. Remove the tape from the brackets and screw them back into place. Snap the legs back into place and straighten the awning. Reinsert the screws.
https://www.wikihow.com/Treat-Hot-Spots-in-Dogs	How to Treat Hot Spots in Dogs	To treat hot spots in dogs, start by clipping the hair from the surface of the hot spot to expose it to air and dry out the moisture. Next, use an antimicrobial shampoo to clean the area, allowing the soap to set for 10 minutes before rinsing off. Once the dog is clean, have your vet recommend an antibiotic ointment or spray. While the area heals, keep it dry, clean, and unbandaged so no moisture collects around it.	Watch your dog. Notice if your dog scratches or licks a particular spot constantly. This is usually a sign that he is suffering from some sort of skin irritation. Part and inspect your dog's fur. Examine more closely the problem area you have identified. Hot spots can be difficult to see with the naked eye because they tend to spread under the cover of the dog's fur. Usually by the time you notice them, hot spots are well established and growing rapidly. Identify that you are dealing with a hot spot. Hot spots are red, moist, hot and irritated rashes. Other identifiers of hot spots include discharge and an unpleasant odor. Hot spots are most commonly found on a dog's head, hip or chest area. Dogs with long hair and thick coats are most commonly affected. Dogs who are not groomed regularly and have matted coats are also prone to developing hot spots, as are dogs who swim or are frequently in the rain. Dogs with hip dysplasia or anal sac disease are also more likely to suffer from hot spots because they tend to lick the skin on their hind end. Check areas surrounding the hot spot. If you do identify a hot spot, take some time to carefully check the rest of the dog's skin. Part the fur in the area surrounding the hot spot and examine for any other moist or reddened areas. All spots need to be treated immediately and, if possible, you should try to ascertain the underlying cause of the hot spot (flea bite, scratch, allergy, etc.). Contact your vet. If this is your dog's first hot spot, seeing a vet is crucial. Your vet can give you an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Trim or clip the hair from the surface of the hot spot. Exposing the hot spot to air will dry out the moisture and help speed up the healing process. Be careful not to pull the hair, irritate the skin or cut your dog's skin. Disinfect your scissors or clippers before clipping. In cases where there is a lot of discharge emerging from the hot spot, you will need to clean your clippers frequently while removing hair. Otherwise, the clippers will become plugged with debris. Remember to clean and disinfect the instrument after use. Have your dog sit or lie down for this process. Get a second person if you need help keeping the dog still. To avoid accidentally cutting your dog's skin, don't cut too close to the skin itself and instead leave a quarter inch of stubble. If the affected area is too large, shave it. Clean the wound. Use an antimicrobial shampoo that you can purchase at a vet's office or a pharmacy for humans. A good product will contain chlorhexidine as an ingredient. You can also clean the area with a mild, water-based astringent or antiseptic spray. Consult your veterinarian before use of any product on a hot spot. Leave the antimicrobial shampoo on the dog for 10 minutes. This will allow the medication in the shampoo to settle into the affected area and begin working. Rinse thoroughly after 10 minutes and dry the affected area completely. If using an alternative solution, read and follow the accompanying instructions on how to apply. Apply an antibiotic ointment or spray. Your vet will usually prescribe a topical medication, such as a Gentamicin or Betamethasone spray. Your vet may also recommend oral antibiotics, depending on the situation. You can apply an antibiotic treatment on the wound up to three times per day. Keep the area dry. The air will help the wound heal more effectively, whereas more moisture will facilitate the wound's growth. Keep in mind that hot spots can't be covered with a bandage because this traps moisture in and thereby worsens the wound. Inspect the wound twice daily. If there is a buildup of discharge, repeat the shampoo process (shampoo, rinse, dry) to keep the wound clean. Check the dog’s entire body for any new or developing hot spots. This check should be done daily, particularly if it is hot or humid out. Stop the itch with an antibiotic. The best way to relieve itching is with an antibiotic prescribed by your vet. Your vet may prescribe a cream antibiotic that is applied directly to the skin in order to quickly and directly relieve the itching. Hydrocortisone spray can help reduce the irritation, but should not be used long term. Antihistamines such as Benadryl may also provide some relief. The appropriate dosage is 1 tablet per 50 pounds. Avoid putting creams intended for humans onto your dog's skin, as this can make matters worse. Creams keep moisture in the area, and the spot needs to dry completely before it can heal. Use an Elizabethan collar if your dog keeps licking or biting the lesions. The cone-shaped collar will restrain your dog's reach, making him unable to further irritate the wound. An Elizabethan collar should not be used as the sole means of treatment for hot spots. Collars don't treat the hot spots but prevent your dog from making the lesions more severe. Untreated lesions will only grow and become more serious, in addition to being painful for your dog. You can wrap a sock around one of the dog's rear feet and tape it into place if the hot spot can be scratched by a rear foot. Trim your dog's toe nails. This keeps your dog from having a ready way to scratch the area and spread the infected discharge.	Watch your dog. Part and inspect your dog's fur. Identify that you are dealing with a hot spot.

https://www.wikihow.com/Flirt-With-a-Cancer	How to Flirt With a Cancer	Cancers are usually emotional and like their independence, so if you want to flirt with one, you'll need to make the first move. Start up a conversation with them, since they may be reluctant to do so due to their emotional vulnerability. When you're chatting with them, gently brush their arm or shoulder, since cancers love physical affection. Give them compliments, like commenting on something unique about their appearance, but make sure they're genuine since cancers can quickly tell if someone is being fake. Cancers are also loyal to their friends, so you'll want to spend time getting to know their friends as well. That way, their friends will have good things to say about you if they ask them for their advice about your relationship. When you feel ready to ask them out, give them a few options for your date and leave them time to decide. Cancers like to feel independent, so taking this approach will help them feel comfortable about your upcoming date.	Let them lead. Cancers are both born leaders and astute financial planners. If they are a part of a group, they are likely to be at the head, leading it. They are also very good with their money and can be quite successful at anything they set out to achieve. Don't be intimidated by this aspect of Cancer. While they are successful leaders, they are also incredibly sensitive. The power and success does not go to their head. Appeal to their artistic and cultural side. They tend to appreciate lavish dinners, the arts and cultural experiences. They will be open to someone who is well-versed in the arts and appreciates extravagance. Tell them about the last book you read and which part was most touching to you. Suggest a fine dining restaurant and describe your favorite dish. Talk about plays and movies which have meant a lot to you and stirred your emotions. Mention museums and your favorite works of art. Go with the flow. A Cancer can be prone to mood swings. Don't let this throw you off. They are incredibly emotional and can seem contradictory with these emotions or move through several emotions in a short amount of time. Be kind when their emotions begin to appear. Attempt to find logic and reason for their feelings. Stay sensible as they become emotional. Make the first move. A Cancer will rarely make the first move, so it is going to be up to you to step up and initiate a conversation. Their emotional delicacy and fear of rejection tends to keep them at bay, but they will be open to your initiation. Give a Cancer space and time. Do not rush them into a decision on the spot. If you try to force them to give you an answer right away, that answer will likely be “no” and they will pull away from you. Make suggestions and allow them time to make their decision. If you ask them on a date, give them options of when and where, then allow them time to decide. Leave them with a question. Give them time to consider your proposal, and check back with them later in the night to see what they think. Gently touch a Cancer once you begin to feel like they are opening up to you. A cancer enjoys physical affection. Their erogenous zone is their chest. This works better when flirting with a man than a woman. Gently touch a Cancer man on the chest as you are flirting. You could gently pat him on the chest when he genuinely makes you laugh. Gently run your hand along his chest as you briefly walk away, before you return to check in on him. While you want to avoid touching a woman's chest while you are flirting, you can still be physically affectionate and reach out to touch her shoulder or forearm. Make friends with the friends of a Cancer. Cancers are very loyal people and tend to have a small group of very close friends. They will take their friends' opinion of you to heart. Being respectful and kind to a Cancer's friends will draw you closer to the inner circle. Spend some time with the Cancer's friends when the Cancer walks away. Befriend them on your own. Actively listen to what the friends have to say. Make a point to learn their names and remember specific things about who they are and what they do. Ask a Cancer about their friends when just the two of you are together. If someone had an important meeting come up, ask how it went. If one of their friends is going through a tough time, follow up and ask the Cancer how that person is doing. Be straightforward with a Cancer. Let your feelings and intentions be known. If you are looking for a long term relationship, mention it. If you are hoping for a one night stand, let it be known. On the other hand, do not lead them to believe that this has potential for a relationship if that is not your intention. They will find this out and it will drive them away. Give a Cancer sincere compliments. Like most people, Cancers have a need for approval, but they will see right through a forced or insincere compliment. Even if the compliment is very simple, keep it honest and sincere. Find something truly unique about their appearance and mention it. Maybe they have a distinct speck of color in their eyes. Something about their style or outfit could intrigue you. Mention their necklace or tattoo and ask them about it. It likely has special meaning to a Cancer. Crack a Cancer’s protective shell. The biggest sticking point for a Cancer is trust. They instinctively protect themselves until you earn their trust. This can be tough to gain in a short amount of time, but starts with complete honesty. A Cancer will see right through any pretense. Speak the truth and do not contradict yourself. Ask Cancers about their family. People born under the sign of Cancer have strong ties to their families. Family always comes first to them and they are likely to have a large family. Cancer women are great mothers. Ask if they have brothers and sisters. Take a genuine interest in learning more about their siblings. People who are important to a Cancer should be important to you.	Let them lead. Appeal to their artistic and cultural side. Go with the flow. Make the first move. Give a Cancer space and time. Gently touch a Cancer once you begin to feel like they are opening up to you. Make friends with the friends of a Cancer. Be straightforward with a Cancer. Give a Cancer sincere compliments. Crack a Cancer’s protective shell. Ask Cancers about their family.
https://www.wikihow.com/Hang-a-Tapestry-in-a-Dorm-Room	How to Hang a Tapestry in a Dorm Room	There are a few ways to hang your tapestry in your dorm room, depending on the kind of walls you have. If you can get push pins into your walls, this will be the easiest option. All you need to do is push a pin through each corner of the tapestry and into the wall. If your tapestry bunches in the middle or sides, gently stretch it out and add a few more pins along the edges. If you can't get pins in your walls, you can use 2 adhesive strips and 2 clothespins to hang it up. Attach half of each strip to the clothespin and the other half to the wall where you want the top corners of your tapestry to be. Alternatively, use 4-6 velcro strips, which you'll adhere to the corners and sides of the tapestry and the wall.	Ask your RA or dorm advisor before using push pins. The easiest damage-free way to hang a tapestry is with push pins. Push pins leave much smaller holes in the wall than nails or screws and are often allowed when decorating a dorm. That being said, some dorms do not allow push pins—ask your dorm advisor before using them to make sure you don't damage the wall. Using push pins against your college's regulations can result in fees. Push pins work best with tapestries made of light fabrics. Use push pins if you have a drywall or wood wall in your dorm. Push pins stick into drywall and wood easily and hold up over time. Plaster walls, on the other hand, are thicker and do not usually work with push pins. If your dorm has plaster walls, try a different hanging method (like adhesive hooks or velcro). Cork also works well with push pins, though having a wall made entirely of cork is unlikely. Stick 4 push pins in each corner of the wall. Measure the height and length of your tapestry with measuring tape. Position the 4 push pins apart at the distance you recorded. Do not push the pins too tightly into the wall yet, as you'll need to remove or reposition them as you work. Remove 1 push pin at a time to secure the tapestry on the wall. Some tapestry will have tabs on each corner that you can hook on the pins, but others will need to be pinned to the wall. Remove a push pin from the wall and position the corresponding corner of the tapestry where the pin had been. Push the pin in the wall again to secure the tapestry corner, then repeat the process with the remaining 3 corners. Push down hard on the pin with your thumb to secure it in the wall. Reposition the push pins as you work if you miscalculated the distance of the tapestry. Add more push pins if your tapestry seems to droop. The larger your tapestry is, the more push pins it will probably need. If your tapestry bunches in the middle or the sides, use more push pins to secure the tapestry to the wall. Buy 2 adhesive wall strips and 2 clothespins from a craft store. Medium to large-sized clothespins work best for hanging tapestries. Choose adhesive wall strips that are approximately the same size as your clothespins. If no wall strips match the exact size of your clothespins, go a size larger—you can always trim them as needed later. Stick the wall adhesive strips to the clothespins. Attach the clothespin to one side of the wall adhesive strip. Press the strip and clothespin together tightly to keep either from detaching as you hang the tapestry. If you wall adhesive strips are not double-sided, a wood glue to glue the clothespins to the strips. If the wall adhesive strips are too large, cut them to size with scissors before gluing. Press the clothespins onto the wall. Measure the length of your tapestry and attach the clothespins so they can hold up both ends of the tapestry. Follow the wall adhesive strip directions carefully so the clothespins stay secure on the wall. If your tapestry is large, purchase and attach 3 clothespins to the wall—one on both ends and one in the middle. Attach the tapestry to the clothespins. When you've clamped the tapestry down with the clothespins, stand back and inspect it. If your tapestry appears to droop in the middle, you may not have spread your clothespins out enough. Re-apply the clothespins to the wall or add a third clothespin in the middle to prevent drooping. If you need to re-apply the clothespins, you may need to replace the wall adhesive strips. Some lose their sticking properties each time they are removed to the wall. The clothespin method is best for thin tapestries--thicker ones might not stay as tightly clamped. Use velcro on thicker fabric tapestries. If your tapestry is too thick for clothespins, velcro may keep it adhered to the wall better. Although this method can also be used on paper tapestries, it is not ideal. If you need to remove the velcro strips, you risk tearing the tapestry. Adhere 4-6 velcro strips to the wall. Apply 1 velcro strip for each corner of the tapestry. If your tapestry is larger, apply velcro strips to the sides as well. Adhere the rough side of the velcro strips to the wall to keep your tapestry securely attached to the wall. Measure your tapestry beforehand so you know how far apart to align the velcro strips. Adhere 4-6 velcro strips to the tapestry. Apply the soft side of the velcro strips to the tapestry on its 4 corners and its sides, if applicable. Align your tapestry with the wall as you attach the velcro strips to make sure they are evenly spaced. Hang your tapestry to the wall with the velcro strips. Press down on the velcro strips as you attach them to keep the tapestry from falling down later. If your velcro strips are not equally aligned, remove the side attached to the tapestry and re-align it with the wall. Buy a curtain rod approximately the same length as your tapestry. A curtain rod will keep your tapestry from bunching or bowing in the middle as you hang it. The rod should be long but thin, no thicker than ⁄ 2 –1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm). Pick a simple curtain rod so it does not take attention away from the tapestry. Attach the curtain rod to the wall tapestry. Some tapestries made for curtain rods have built-in curtain rod pockets or holes for curtain loops. For those without built-in holes, use clamp binder clips along the top of the tapestry. Loop the clips through the curtain rod to keep your curtain rod and tapestry attached. Adhere 2 adhesive wall hooks to the wall. Buy 2 adhesive wall strips with hooks at as wide as and at least half as tall as your curtain rod. Follow the directions carefully to attach the hooks securely to the wall. Measure the length of the curtain rod so you know how far apart to space the wall hooks. Place the curtain rod and tapestry over the adhesive wall strips. Most adhesive wall hooks need at least an hour to cure. When they have finished curing, hang the curtain rod over the 2 adhesive wall strips. Hang the tapestry directly to the hooks for a more relaxed feel. If the tapestry is made of a thin fabric, a curtain rod may not be necessary. As long as you don't mind the fabric dipping in the middle, wall hooks can support the tapestry on their own. Hang your tapestry directly to the adhesive wall hooks.	Ask your RA or dorm advisor before using push pins. Use push pins if you have a drywall or wood wall in your dorm. Stick 4 push pins in each corner of the wall. Remove 1 push pin at a time to secure the tapestry on the wall. Add more push pins if your tapestry seems to droop. Buy 2 adhesive wall strips and 2 clothespins from a craft store. Stick the wall adhesive strips to the clothespins. Press the clothespins onto the wall. Attach the tapestry to the clothespins. Use velcro on thicker fabric tapestries. Adhere 4-6 velcro strips to the wall. Adhere 4-6 velcro strips to the tapestry. Hang your tapestry to the wall with the velcro strips. Buy a curtain rod approximately the same length as your tapestry. Attach the curtain rod to the wall tapestry. Adhere 2 adhesive wall hooks to the wall. Place the curtain rod and tapestry over the adhesive wall strips. Hang the tapestry directly to the hooks for a more relaxed feel.
https://www.wikihow.com/Know-if-You-Have-a-STI	How to Know if You Have a STI	To know if you have an STI, keep an eye out for any unusual discharge from your vagina or penis, which might have a strange color or smell. If you've had anal or oral sex, you might also notice these around your mouth or buttocks. Watch out for open sores, warts, bumps, or blisters that appear on or around your genitals, which could be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection. They might be painful, itchy, or hot. You might also have pain during sex or urination, or even at random times. Many STIs are also accompanied by fever, fatigue, or nausea. If you think you might have an STI, visit your doctor as soon as possible to get screened and treated. Many STIs are easily treatable.	Look for any signs of atypical vaginal or penile discharge. Trichomoniasis , gonorrhea, and chlamydia all produce genital discharges. While vaginal discharge is typical and healthy, if you notice it taking on an atypical color or smell, it may be a sign of a bacterial STI. If you notice discharge from your penis at times when you are neither urinating nor ejaculating, this could be a sign of a bacterial STI. Likewise, be concerned about any vaginal discharge that is green or yellow in color. STIs can also be signaled by vaginal discharge that is atypically white or thick. Pay attention to any foul-smelling or unusual vaginal odors. This may be a symptom of trichomoniasis. Other symptoms include difficulty urinating or pain during intercourse. Note any pain during intercourse, or general pelvic pain. Bacterial STIs like chlamydia and trichomoniasis typically cause localized or general pain during the act of intercourse. Pelvic pain caused by an STI can include any type of discomfort in the pelvic or genital region, including pain during urination. Men who are infected with an STI often experience testicular pain, even apart from sexual intercourse or ejaculation. Watch for any difficulty or pain while urinating. This may be accompanied by pelvic pain and fever in women or discharge and a burning sensation in men. These can be symptoms of chlamydia or another STI. Pay attention to irregular vaginal bleeding. If you notice bloody discharge during a time of the month when you're not on your period, this could be a sign of an STI. Chlamydia and gonorrhea in particular can produce irregular bleeding. Bacterial infections can also produce an uncommonly heavy flow during your period. Chlamydia is difficult to diagnose, however, since early infections produce few symptoms. Symptoms do not typically begin to show until as late as three weeks after infection. Watch for open sores on your genitals. Painful round lesions may be a sign of herpes, which may last for 2-3 weeks. A painless open sore, called a chancre, on the infected area (typically the genitals) may be a sign of syphilis or chancroid. These sores usually emerge between 10 and 90 days after infection. Other symptoms of Herpes include fevers, chills, general discomfort (called malaise), and extreme trouble with urination. If left untreated, symptoms of syphilis will worsen: multiple larger sores, fatigue, vomiting, and fever accompanied by a rash. Syphilis progresses along four stages of severity: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. The STI is relatively simple to treat in the primary or secondary stages. If you notice any signs of this STI, talk to your doctor and seek professional treatment. Symptoms of chancroid may include fever, chills, and general discomfort. Some people may also have discharge or difficulty urinating. Over time, the initial lesion may break and spread to multiple lesions. Inspect your genital region for small warts or sores. Many viral STIs, including genital herpes, can produce little red bumps, blisters, warts, or even open lesions on or around your genitals. These warts or bumps are typically accompanied by a painful itching or burning sensation. If you've recently had oral or anal intercourse and are concerned about an oral or anal STI, also inspect your lips and mouth, and your buttocks and anal area for warts or bumps. Herpes can stay dormant in your body for prolonged periods of time. Subsequent herpes outbreaks tend to be less painful than the initial outbreak. Infected individuals can have frequent outbreaks for decades. Although oral herpes can be contracted on the genitals (or in the genital region), it's typically dormant after the initial outbreak. Look for fleshy bumps or blisters. Fleshy, raised patches of skin or warts in the genital or oral areas can be a sign of genital warts or Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a serious STI, but can be difficult to detect. Certain strains are accompanied by gray swellings on the genitals, which can clump together and take on a cauliflower-like appearance. Genital warts, while not a particularly serious STI, are uncomfortable and often itchy. Certain strains of HPV can increase a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer. If you're concerned about HPV, speak with your doctor or gynecologist about frequent screenings or gynecological visits to monitor the virus. Pay attention to persistent fever, fatigue, and nausea. Although these are general, nonspecific symptoms, they can all be signs of two serious viral STIs: strains of hepatitis, or early HIV. Early HIV can also cause your lymph nodes to swell, and can produce a rash. Individuals infected with hepatitis (which damages your liver) often also experience lower abdominal pain and dark urine. Strains of hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted without sexual contact. Either disease can be transmitted by contact with infected blood (or other bodily fluids), or by sharing intravenous needles. Get tested for STIs. If you suspect that you have an STI, contact your general physician as soon as possible, and request an appointment to get tested for any sexual infections or diseases. Tests are inexpensive and easy, and do not require a referral or specialist consultation. STI screening will typically include a urine analysis and culture, blood sample analysis, a pelvic exam, and a body tissue sample. Do not put off getting tested. Many STIs are uncomfortable or painful. Also, putting off getting tested can increase your risk of contracting another STI, including HIV. Ask about treatment options. The majority of STIs are very treatable. Bacterial infections can be cured with antibacterial medications, commonly prescribed as pills or tablets, or administered via injection. Parasite STIs, including scabies and public lice, are treated via a prescribed medicated shampoo. Even for viral STIs that cannot be treated or cured (which includes both herpes and HIV) your doctor can prescribe medications which will alleviate painful symptoms. Ask your doctor about frequent STI screenings. If you're sexually active, and especially if you're not monogamous or change sexual partners with relative frequency, it's important to get screened for STIs regularly. Some types of STI do not manifest notable symptoms, while the symptoms of other STIs can take weeks or even months to manifest. When speaking to your doctor, be explicit in asking for an STI screening. Don't assume that your doctor will test you for STIs simply because they're performing a PAP smear or drawing blood. In addition, always ask your partner to get tested for STIs before you engage in sexual activity. This will help prevent the spread of STIs. If you don't have a regular health care provider, or are concerned about the cost of STI screening and treatment, visit a clinic like Planned Parenthood. Although sexual health clinics will vary by region and by country, they're typically an affordable option for anyone needing a STI screening.

https://www.wikihow.com/Play-the-Cello	How to Play the Cello	To play the cello, start by balancing the cello between your knees, with the strings facing away from you. Then, lean the instrument to the left of your head so the top of its body rests on your chest. In order to play a note, run the bow across the strings, making sure to keep the bow parallel to the cello. Additionally, keep your elbow up and away from your body as draw the bow back and forth.	Sit tall in a firm chair. Get a firm chair to sit in that allows your hips to be slightly higher than your knees. Sit with your back straight and tall; imagine that a string is attached your head and it's pulling your head up. Engage your tummy muscles to straighten your spine in your lower back. As you play, use your eyes to look at the strings. Try not to drop your neck to avoid injuring your neck in the long term. Balance the cello between your knees. Spread your knees to make enough room for your cello. Bring the cello in and allow it to balance on its end piece while resting its sides between your knees. Face the cello out so its strings are away from you. You shouldn't grip the cello tightly with your knees; simply let it balance there. The Cello should lay evenly on both legs Rest the cello body against your chest. Allow the cello to lean back against you. Position it so that the top of its body reaches your chest and can rest there. You may have to adjust the endpin, or piece at the bottom that touches the floor, so your cello is the right height for you. Simply loosen the screws and slide the endpin in or out depending on if your need the cello to be taller or shorter, then tighten the screws again before standing the cello back up. Angle the cello so the neck is to the left of your head. Lean your cello back and position its neck in line with the left of your head. Hold the neck with your left hand and rest your right hand on your right leg. Right-handed and left-handed people hold the cello the same way. Face the cello slightly toward your right so you can easily reach the strings. Using your left hand, angle your cello so its strings are facing slightly toward your right. This will make it easier to reach all the strings without slouching as you play. Check to see if any parts of your body feel tense or uncomfortable. If they do, you should make adjustments to your posture, the height of your chair, or the height of your cello until you are comfortable holding it. Tune your cello with an electric tuner. Find an electric tuner for cello at a music supply store. You can attach the tuner to the bridge of the instrument or you can download a tuning app on your cell phone. Bow each string consistently and with the same pressure one at a time and follow the instruction on the tuner to check that the string is in tune. Try an open “C” on the thickest string on the right end. Sitting behind your cello in the proper position, the last string on the right is “C.” It's your thickest cello string. Pluck the string with your right pointer finger (both left handed and right handed people cluck the cello the same way). Make sure your thumb is positioned at the end of the fingerboard to provide stability. Never pluck far up the fingerboard! The note is “open” because you are not pressing down with your left fingers on the string to play it. The string itself is in the note of “C.” The cello “bridge” is the piece that sticks up about halfway down the cello and holds the stings in place. The fingerboard is the long black-colored piece that runs down the front of the cello's neck, and is where you put your fingers to play other notes. Play an open “G” on the second string from your right. The second string from your right is called the “G” string. It is the second-thickest string on the cello. Pluck this string with your pointer finger on your right hand, and rest your thumb on the side of the fingerboard. Plucking the string is called pizzicato Try an open “D” on the third string in from your right. The third-thickest string, located next to the “G” string, is the “D” string. Pluck the string to see what “D” sounds like. Play an open “A” on the thinnest string on the left end. The last string on the left, and the thinnest string, is your “A” string. Pluck the “A” string to see how it sounds. A good way to remember the string notes on your cello is the sentence “Cats Go Down Alleys” starting from your right with the thickest “C” string. Tighten the hair of the bow before you play. When a bow is not being used, the strings should be loose so they don't accidentally get damaged. Remove your bow from its case and turn the screw at the end clockwise to tighten the hair until it is about the width of an index finger's length away from the wood. Be careful not to over-tighten the hair or they can break. The bow should be slightly bent inwards, not straight or bending outwards. Hold the bow “frog” in your right fingers with a rounded hand shape. The part at the end of the bow, near the hair screw, is called the “frog,” and that is where you hold the bow. Hold it between your thumb and the first 3 fingers of your right hand with the hair facing down. Your thumb should be closest to you and your fingers stay on the outside of the frog piece. Keep your fingers rounded and your hand relaxed, as if you're holding an imaginary tennis ball in your hand. Place the bow on a string halfway between the end of the fingerboard and the bridge. Choose a string to play. Gently press the bow hair down on the string above the cello bridge. Move the bow across the string parallel to the bridge. As you move the bow, keep applying pressure down on the string. To play soft or loud, lessen or add pressure while moving the string. Keep the bow parallel to the cello bridge as you play. Draw the bow out and in. Keep your elbow up and don't hug your arm against your torso. You can draw the bow back and forth as you play; the length you play each note is determined by the notes in your sheet music. Imagine your elbows floating as you make bow strokes. They should remain in the same position in relationship to your body as you move your right arm back and forth from the shoulder. Study a fingering chart to learn more notes. Now that you know the string notes when they are played open, you can study a chart to see how to play more notes using your left fingers on the cello's neck. Search “cello notes chart” in your Internet browser to find images of the notes on your cello neck. As you study the notes, practice playing scales to help you memorize them. Start from C major, on the C string Learn to read music to make it easier to play songs. If you don't already read music, learn to read it by taking a lesson, a music class, or by searching for online lessons. Once you can read music, teach yourself some easy songs such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to practice playing songs. Other easy songs to learn include “Hot Cross Buns” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Take lessons to learn songs and improve your technique. Taking cello lessons in person is one of the most efficient ways to improve your playing. A teacher can give you feedback on your technique, assign you activities to learn, and offer ways for you to improve. Search “cello lessons near me” online to find a local teacher offering lessons.

https://www.wikihow.com/Find-Prime-Factorization	How to Find Prime Factorization	To find the prime factorization of a number, write the number at the top of a sheet of paper, and draw two “branches” coming off of it. Then, find any 2 numbers that multiply together to make the number you started with and put them at the ends of the branches. Repeat the process with these 2 numbers, circling prime numbers when you get to them, until you're left with only prime numbers. If you multiply all those prime numbers together, you should get the original number.	Understand factorization. Factorization is the process of "breaking down" a number into smaller parts. These parts, or factors, multiply with each other to equal the original number. For example, to factor the number 18, break it into 1 x 18, or into 2 x 9, or into 3 x 6. Review prime numbers. A prime number only has two factors: itself and 1. The number 5, for example, is the product of 5 and 1. You can't break it down into any other numbers. The goal of prime factorization is to keep breaking a number down until there are only primes left. This is especially useful when handling fractions, making them easier to compare and use in equations. Start with a number. Pick any non-prime number greater than 3. There's no point starting with a prime number, since there's no way to factor it. Example: In this guide, we'll find the prime factorization of 24. Factor it into any two numbers. Find any two numbers that multiply together to make the number you started with. You can use any two you can think of, but a prime number will make your work easier. One good strategy is to try dividing the number by 2, then 3, then 5, working your way up through the prime numbers until you find one that divides evenly. Example: If you don't know any factors of 24, try dividing it by small prime numbers. Let's divide by 2 to get 24 = 2 x 12. We're not done yet, but this is a good start. Since 2 is prime, this is an easy way to start when factoring any even number. Start making a factor tree. A factor tree is an easy way to keep track of a factorization problem. To start one, just draw two "branches" splitting down from the original number. Write your two factors at the end of these branches. Example: 24 /\ 2 12 Factor the next line of numbers. Look at your two new numbers (the second line on your factor tree). Are they both primes? If one of them isn't a prime, factor it again the same way. Draw more branches on the tree and write the new factors on a third line. Example: 12 is not a prime, so we factor it again. Let's use 12 = 2 x 6 and add it to the factor tree: 24 /\ 2 12 /\ 2 x 6 Bring down prime. If one of the factors is prime, bring it down onto the next line with its own single "branch." There's no way to break it down further, so we're just keeping track of it for now. Example: 2 is a prime number. Bring the 2 from the second line down to the third. 24 /\ 2 12 / /\ 2 2 6 Keep factoring until you're left with only primes. Check each new row on the factor tree once you write it. If any of the numbers can be factored again, make a new row. You're finished once there are only prime numbers left. Example: 6 is a non-prime number and needs to be factored again. 2 is a prime number, so we just bring the 2s down to the next row. 24 /\ 2 12 / /\ 2 2 6 / / /\ 2 2 2 3 Write the final line as your prime factors. Eventually, you'll only have prime numbers left. When this happens, you're done factoring. The prime factorization is the entire, last line of numbers, written as a multiplication problem. Check your work by multiplying the last line together. It should equal the original number. Example: The final line of our factor tree has nothing but 2s and 3s. These are both primes, so we're finished. We can write the prime factorization of 24 as 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3. The order of the factors does not matter. 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 is also a correct answer. Simplify using exponents (optional). If you know how to write exponents, you can make the prime factorization easier to read. Remember, an exponent is a base number, followed by a number that states how many times the base is multiplied. Example: In the factorization 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, how many times does 2 appear? Since the answer is "three," we can simplify 2 x 2 x 2 with 2. The simplified prime factorization is 2 x 3. Find the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that's a factor of both numbers. Here's how to find the GCF of 30 and 36, using prime factorization: Find the prime factorizations of the two numbers. The prime factorization of 30 is 2 x 3 x 5. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Find a number that appears on both prime factorizations. Cross it out once on each list and write it on a new line. For example, 2 is on both lists, so we write 2 on a new line. We're left with 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 and 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Repeat until there are no more factors in common. There's also a 3 on both lists, so write it on your new line to make 2 and 3. Compare 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 and 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. There are no more numbers left in common. To find the GCF, multiply all the shared factors together. We just have 2 and 3 in our example, so the GCF is 2 x 3 = 6. This is the largest number that is both a factor of 30, and a factor of 36. Simplify fractions with the GCF. Use the Greatest Common Factor whenever you suspect a fraction is not in simplest form. Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator, using the process above. Once you've found it, divide both parts of the fraction by the GCF. The answer will be the same fraction in simplest form. For example, simplify the fraction / 36. We already found out that the GCF is 6, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 6: 30 ÷ 6 = 5 36 ÷ 6 = 6 / 36 = / 6 Find the Least Common Multiple of two numbers. The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that has both of the first two numbers as factors. For example, the LCM of 2 and 3 is 6, because it has both 2 and 3 as factors. Here's an example of finding LCM from prime factorization: Start with two prime factorizations. For example, the prime factorization of 126 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7. The prime factorization of 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7. For each unique factor, compare the number of times it appears in each list. Pick a list where it appears the greatest number of times, and circle each instance. For example, 2 appears once in the factors of 126, but twice in the list for 84. Circle the 2 x 2 in the second list. Repeat for each unique factor. For example, 3 appears most often in the first list, so circle the 3 x 3 there. 7 only appears once on each list, so circle a single 7. (It doesn't matter which list you choose when there's a tie.) Multiply all of your circled numbers together to find the LCM. In our example, the least common multiple of 126 and 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 = 252. This is the smallest number that has both 126 and 84 as factors. Use the LCM when adding fractions. Before you can add two fractions together, their denominators must be the same. Find the Least Common Multiple of the two denominators. Multiply each fraction so that the new denominator is the LCM. Once both fractions are in this form, you can add them together. For example, we want to solve / 6 + / 21. Using the method above, we can find the LCM of 6 and 21. The answer is 42. Turn / 6 into a fraction with 42 as the denominator. To do this, solve 42 ÷ 6 = 7. Multiply / 6 x / 7 = / 42. To turn / 21 into a fraction with 42 as the denominator, solve 42 ÷ 21 = 2. Multiply / 21 x / 2 = / 42. Now that we have the fractions in forms with the same denominator, we can add them together easily: / 42 + / 42 = / 42.	Understand factorization. Review prime numbers. Start with a number.

https://www.wikihow.com/Decode-a-Caesar-Box-Code	How to Decode a Caesar Box Code	The Caesar Box code is a cipher in which each letter is replaced with another letter that's a fixed number of positions down the alphabet. To decode one, start by counting the number of characters in the code. Then, determine the square root of that number. For example, if there are 16 characters in the code, the square root of 16 is 4. If your answer isn't a whole number, round up. Then, write the characters out in rows, according to the square root you found. In this case, you'd write out the 16 characters in 4 rows, so there'd be 4 characters in each row. Now, starting from the top left letter in the left-hand column, read down through each column. For example, if your code was “GTYORJOTEOUIABGT,” the message would say “Great job you got it!”	Count the number of characters in the code. Here we have 16: G T Y O R J O T E O U I A B G T Determine how many rows you can divide the letters into equally[2] X Research source (Find the square root of the number you found in step 1. If the square root isn't a whole number, round up). We can put 16 into 4 rows of 4 (I.e. the square root of 16 is 4). If we had 25 letters we could put them into 5 rows of 5 (square root of 25 is 5) and so on. In cases where the number doesn't divide so neatly, use the number of rows for the next "boxable" (perfect square) number up. The "boxable" (square) numbers are 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, etc. If the code has 22 letters (square root of 22 is 4.69), the next number up is 25, which would mean 5 rows (4.69 rounds up to 5). Write the letters out into rows. With the example given, it'd be written out as such: GTYO RJOT EOUI ABGT Start from the top left letter and read down, then start at the top of the next column and read down again, and so on. This example has the message: "GREAT JOB YOU GOT IT". Finished.	Count the number of characters in the code. Determine how many rows you can divide the letters into equally[2] X Research source (Find the square root of the number you found in step 1. Write the letters out into rows. Start from the top left letter and read down, then start at the top of the next column and read down again, and so on. Finished.
https://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Frogs	How to Get Rid of Frogs	To get rid of frogs, first try clearing away any clutter or debris in your yard, since frogs like to hide in damp, dark places. If that doesn't work, spread salt around the perimeter of your yard or pond, since the salt will burn frogs' feet and deter them from coming back. You can also spread coffee grounds around the areas where you find frogs, since the caffeine will cause them discomfort and scare them off.	Identify the frog species you're dealing with. Not only will this information help you get rid of the frogs, since different species respond to different methods, but it will also ensure that you're not doing something illegal, as some species of frogs are protected by law. There are some species of frogs that are considered invasive and are legal to kill. These include the following: Bullfrogs outside of their native environment in eastern North America. They compete with native frogs, eat native frogs, and spread chytridiomycosis, an infectious disease that has led to the extinction of 100 frog species. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-1Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/ff\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-1Bullet1.jpg\/aid2570999-v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-1Bullet1.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>"} Cane toads outside of their native environment in Central and South America.

In many parts of the world, it's illegal to kill non-invasive species, but people are encouraged to manage invasive species. Some species are so invasive that it's illegal to release them back into the wild once you've caught them. If you're not sure whether a frog is native or not, take its picture and submit it to the local Fish and Wildlife authorities for identification. Before you take matters into your own hands, you might want to talk to local Fish and Wildlife authorities to discuss the best way to get rid of them in your area. Leave native frogs alone. If you find out that the frogs in your area are native species, you'd do best to leave them alone. Frogs that are native to a certain ecosystem should not be killed, even if they're poisonous. Frogs are vital members of their ecosystems, and in fact their presence is an indication that an ecosystem is healthy. They keep insect populations down and contribute to wetlands in other ways. If you dislike the presence of native frogs, there are still ways to discourage them from coming onto your property. You can keep foliage cut back, for example, so they won't have an enticing place to live. You can also discourage them from coming into the house by keeping it well sealed and screening your windows and doors. Drain any standing water. Frogs are attracted to moisture, so removing sources of water from your yard will cause most frogs to lose interest and find another place to lay their eggs and shelter at night. You can rent a pump to get rid of most water sources. Birdbaths, swampy areas, bowls of water, and artificial ponds are just a few examples of water sources that attract frogs. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/14\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-3Bullet2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-3Bullet2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/14\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-3Bullet2.jpg\/aid2570999-v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-3Bullet2.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>"} Removing sources of stagnant water will also drive away mosquitoes and other insects that frogs feed on, making the area even less appealing. If the water source in your yard is something you want to keep, like a natural pond, try adding a filter or running fountain to your pond. This will cause the water to circulate, thereby eliminating most mosquitoes and other insects. The frogs will still be attracted to the water, but with a decrease in food supply, many may still end up moving on. Trim your weeds. Tall grass, shrubs, or other bushy plants make the perfect hiding place for frogs. Clearing these elements away forces the frogs to be exposed, which is a condition they generally try to avoid. Having tall plants around a water source is especially troublesome. If you want to maintain tall or bushy plants somewhere in your yard, position them as far away from any water source as possible. Clear away debris. Like tall grass, clutter in your yard serves as an excellent hiding place for frogs. Removing it will chase many frogs away. Remove empty pots, old lumber, piles of wood chips, or any other structure that may create a damp, dark place for frogs to hide. Turn off outside lighting. Light attracts insects, and insects attract frogs. Turning off your outdoor lights at night will reduce both insect and frog populations. Shut off garden lights and porch lights. Close the drapes and curtains in your house to reduce the amount of light filtering out from inside. Keep pet food inside the house. While somewhat uncommon, frogs do occasionally steal dog food or cat food. Feed your pets inside or keep the dish inside when the dog or cat is not eating. Kill the insects on your property. Since flies, mosquitoes, and other insects are the primary food source for frogs, killing the bugs will deter frogs from coming to your yard. Here are a few ways to control them; Use a bug zapper. Place the bug zapper on your porch to attract and kill all manner of flying insects. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/33\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-8Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-8Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/33\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-8Bullet1.jpg\/aid2570999-v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-8Bullet1.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>"} Spray organic insecticides. Many chemical insecticides will also kill the frogs, but most organic insecticides do not have that effect. Set up fencing. Surround your property or pond with mesh netting or plastic fencing. Do not use chicken wire or chain-link fencing, since frogs can easily slip through these types of fences. Make sure that the fencing starts at ground level and stands tall. Frogs can leap a considerable height, so a standard-size fence will work better than a purposefully low one. Take precautions to keep the fence stable. Bury the support posts 1 foot (30.5 cm) underground, at minimum, and bury a portion of the fencing material beneath the ground, too. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/64\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-9Bullet3.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-9Bullet3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/64\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-9Bullet3.jpg\/aid2570999-v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-9Bullet3.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>"} Introduce natural predators. Snakes and cats both love to eat some types of frogs, so if you introduce some to your property, you'll be able to keep the population down, and your yard will be a lot less attractive to frogs. Before you do this, conduct some research to make sure the type of frog you're dealing with will make a tasty meal for a cat or snake. Remember that many types of frogs are poisonous. Don't try to introduce a predator that would be sensitive to the frogs' poison. Research the predators of the specific frog you're dealing with. Cats and snakes are easiest to introduce, but you might also want to make your yard more hospitable to other predator animals, such as hawks or other birds. Try natural repellants. There are a few natural substances that effectively kill frogs or repel them from the area. Try using one of these substances before resorting to a chemical spray, since chemical sprays tend to kill the frogs slowly. Organic sprays tend to do the job more quickly and are more humane. Spray the frogs with citric acid. Mix 1.3 lb (600 g) dry citric acid with 1 gallon (4 liters) of water in a large spray bottle. Spray the solution directly on the frogs. It should kill them almost immediately. Spread salt. If you do not have any plants near your pond, spread a little salt around the perimeter. Salt will burn the toes of the frogs, deterring them from the area. Note that salt will destroy plants, however. Spritz the frogs with caffeine. Concentrated caffeine will kill frogs by causing them to have heart attacks, but you can spread coffee grounds around the areas where frogs gather to deter them without killing them off. It will cause the frogs discomfort, but will not likely kill them. Use chemicals only as a last resort. While there are chemical pest control measures you can take to get rid of the frogs in your yard, these options often torment or kill the frogs slowly and should be avoided unless no other option has proven effective. When possible, use repelling measures rather than lethal ones. Try snake repellent. Spraying snake repellent around the perimeter of your yard is often an effective repellent against frogs. In fact, snake repellent is usually about as effective at getting rid of frogs as it is at getting rid of snakes. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0e\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-13Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-13Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0e\/Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-13Bullet1.jpg\/aid2570999-v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Frogs-Step-13Bullet1.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>"} Use herbicide. Studies suggest that certain weed killers chemically alter male frogs, stripping away their ability to reproduce. As a result, spraying these herbicides in areas where frogs gather can greatly reduce future frog populations. Catch the frogs with a net. Use a butterfly net or another type of long-handled, thinly-meshed net to capture the frogs one by one. If you have an abundance of frogs, you may need to enlist the help of others to accomplish this task. Once you catch the frogs, you have two choices: Relocate the frogs. After catching the frogs, consider relocating them to a nearby pond or stream. When relocating frogs, however, it is important to introduce the frogs to an area that the breed or species can be naturally found in. Otherwise, you can upset the ecological balance of that habitat. Freeze the frogs to death. If it is impossible to relocate the frogs, you can kill them humanely by freezing them. Place the frogs in a sealable container with air holes punched through the lid. Store this container in the refrigerator overnight. The frogs will ease into a coma-like state. The following day, move the container to the freezer and store the frogs there for 48 to 72 hours. Temperatures this cold should kill them. Gather and destroy the tadpoles. Use a standard aquarium fishnet to scoop up any tadpoles in your pond or other water source. Lay the tadpoles out in the sun for a day or so. The dry heat should kill them. You can lay the captured tadpoles out on the cement or lawn, but the drier to surface, the quicker the extermination should be. Alternatively, you could also bury the captured tadpoles underground. This, too, should kill them. Set traps indoors. If the frogs have found their way indoors, set up standard mouse traps to kill them. Place these traps around any opening that leads from the outside to the inside, such as garage doors, basement windows and vents. Hire an exterminator. If you are uncertain about how to remove the frogs or are unsuccessful in your efforts, hire a professional.	Identify the frog species you're dealing with. Check the laws in your area.

https://www.wikihow.com/Evaluate-for-Head-Injuries-During-First-Aid	How to Evaluate for Head Injuries During First Aid	To evaluate for head injuries during first aid, check the person for bleeding or signs of skull fractures, including bruising around the eyes and clear fluid coming from the nose or ears. You should also look for other symptoms of a head injury, such as whether the person is very sleepy, is behaving abnormally, has different sized pupils, or vomits more than once. If you notice any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately. While you're waiting for medical assistance, you can have the person sit down and place a cold compress on their injury.	Make sure the person is conscious. While the person may still be awake, there can be other concerns. You'll want to check him quickly to see if he is alert and responsive. One good way to check is using the AVPU responsiveness scale: Alert: Look to see if he is alert, with eyes open. Does he respond to questions? Verbal: Ask simple questions, and see if he is able to answer them. You can also try giving instructions, like, “Sit down here,” to test his comprehension. Pain: If he doesn't answer, try poking or pinching. Make sure he will respond to some kind of pain, at least moving or opening his eyes. Do not shake, especially if the person appears to be dazed. Unresponsive: If he's still not responding, give a gentle shake to see if he offers any response. If not, he is unconscious and could have a serious head injury. Look for bleeding. If you see bleeding, check to be sure it is a cut or scrape. If you see blood leaking from the nose or ears, that could be the sign of a serious brain injury. Look for skull fractures. Some fractures will be easier to see, especially if the bone has broken through the skin. Take note of where those injuries are so you can tell a medical professional when they arrive. Some fractures will be under the skin, and not immediately visible. Bruising around the eyes or behind the ear can be a sign that there is a fracture in the skull's base. If you notice clear fluid coming from the nose or ears, that could be cerebrospinal leakage, indicating a skull fracture. Watch for signs of a spinal injury. Spinal injuries are very serious and need to be treated by medical professionals. There are several signs to check for and ask about. The head is in an unusual position, or the person either can't or won't move her neck or back. Numbness, tingling, or paralysis in extremities like the arms or legs. The pulse in the extremities may also be weaker than in the core. Weakness and difficulty walking. Loss of bladder or bowel control. Unconsciousness, or other lack of alertness. Complaints of a stiff neck, headache, or neck pain. If you suspect a spinal injury, keep the person completely still and laying down until medical help gets there. Check for other symptoms of a serious head injury. If you see any of these symptoms, you should get medical help right away. Check if the person: Becomes very sleepy. Begins behaving abnormally. Develops a severe headache or stiff neck. Has pupils that are different sizes — this may indicate a stroke. Becomes unable to move extremities like an arm or leg. Loses consciousness. Even a brief loss of consciousness is a sign of serious trouble. Vomits more than once. Check for concussion symptoms. Concussions are injuries to the brain, and they may not be seen as easily as cuts and bruises. There are distinctive symptoms for a concussion, so keep an eye out for them: Headache or ringing in the ears. Confusion about current surroundings, dizziness, seeing stars, or amnesia about what just happened. Nausea and vomiting. Slurred speech or delayed answers to questions. Evaluate for symptoms again after a few minutes. Some concussion symptoms don't appear right away. This means, if you suspect someone has had a concussion, let him sit for a bit and see if the symptoms develop. If certain symptoms have worsened, that is a sign of a more serious medical problem. The person will need medical treatment as soon as possible. Check for head and neck aches that get worse, weakness or numbness in the arms and legs, repeated vomiting, increased confusion or fogginess, slurred speech, and seizures. Look for signs specific to children. There are some additional signs that will appear in children who may have head injuries. Some of these require careful observation because kids won't be able to verbalize their complaints as easily as adults. Because their skulls and brains are not as fully developed, head injuries can be especially serious and will need immediate attention. If you think a child may have a serious head injury, look for: Persistent crying Refusing to eat Repeated vomiting In infants, look for bulging in the soft spot on the front of the head If the child shows any signs of a head injury, do not pick her up Have the person sit down. If someone has a head injury, the first thing he should do is sit quietly and place something cold against the injury. A cold compress or bag of ice is good, though if you are inside, a bag of frozen vegetables can do the trick. It is best if the person avoids moving unless you need to get somewhere for better treatment. If it is a fallen child, do not pick him up unless absolutely necessary. Be prepared to start CPR. If the person should suddenly lose consciousness, or stop breathing, you will need to start giving CPR right away. Keep the person on their back, and push down on the chest. If you are trained and comfortable performing CPR, open the airways and give rescue breaths. Repeat as necessary. While you want for the ambulance to arrive, make sure to keep checking breathing, pulse, or anything else that indicates consciousness and ability to respond. Call 911. If you suspect a serious head injury or can see signs of a fractured skull or serious bleeding, you will need emergency services to arrive. When you call, be sure to stay as calm as possible while you explain what happened and what kind of help you need. Make sure you give a specific location where the ambulance can reach you. Stay on the line until the dispatcher hangs up so they can offer advice as needed. Treat any spinal injuries. Spinal injuries can cause paralysis or other serious problems. Most treatment will come from medical professionals. There are a few steps you can take to help keep the situation from getting worse until they arrive. Keep the person still. If necessary, hold his head or neck in place, or place heavy towels on both sides of the neck for stability. Perform modified CPR if the person shows no sign of breathing, known as the jaw-thrust. Do not tilt the head back to open the airway. Instead, kneel behind the person's head and place a hand on either side of his jaw. Holding the head steady, push the mandible up — it should look as if the person has an extreme underbite. Do not do any rescue breathing, just chest compressions. If the person starts vomiting, and you do need to roll him over to prevent choking, get a second person to help keep the head, neck, and back aligned. Make sure one of you is at the person's head, while the other should be at their side. Treat any bleeding wounds. If the person has a cut on her head, you will need to stop the bleeding. Make sure to take care you avoid infecting the wound. Use water, if you have it, to flush the wound and remove most of the dirt or anything else there. Press a dry cloth directly onto the wound to help staunch the bleeding. Secure the dressing using gauze and medical tape if you have it. If you don't, make sure someone holds it in place. If you are worried about a skull fracture under the cut, keep the pressure gentle. Try not to press hard so you can avoid compressing the fracture, or pushing bone fragments into the brain. Do not wash any head wounds that are deep or bleeding a lot. Provide treatment around skull fractures. While the most serious work of treating a skull fracture will be done by medical professionals, there are several steps you can take to help the injury. Without touching anything, take a look at the fractured area to see what you can learn about it. This can be useful information for the ambulance when it arrives. Just make sure that you don't touch the wound with any foreign objects, including your finger. Control blood loss by placing a dry cloth directly over the wound. If it soaks through, do not remove the cloth. Instead, add another one and continue to apply pressure as needed. Be very careful not to move the person. If you must move her, do your best to keep the head and neck stable. Do not allow the head and neck to twist or turn around. If the injured person starts vomiting, carefully turn her whole body to the side so he doesn't choke on the vomit.	Make sure the person is conscious. Look for bleeding. Look for skull fractures. Watch for signs of a spinal injury. Check for other symptoms of a serious head injury. Check for concussion symptoms. Look for signs specific to children. Have the person sit down. Be prepared to start CPR. Call 911. Treat any spinal injuries. Treat any bleeding wounds. Provide treatment around skull fractures.
https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Harry-Potter-Bedroom	How to Create a Harry Potter Bedroom	If you can't get enough of Harry Potter in your life, there are many ways to make your bedroom more magical. Paint your walls the colors of your favorite Hogwarts house, like red and gold for Gryffindor. Display your Harry Potter book collection and other merchandise on shelves. You can also put up posters of your favorite Harry Potter movies or books. If you have a little extra money, invest in Harry Potter bed sheets and pillows. If you can find witch or wizard's robes, hang these up in your room to pretend your room is really in Hogwarts.	Choose a color to paint your room. Choose the colors of your favorite Hogwarts house to show off your personality. The colors are: Scarlet and gold for Gryffindor Yellow and black for Hufflepuff. Blue and silver (Movie version) or blue and bronze (Book version) for Ravenclaw Green and silver for Slytherin If you're really dedicated and have enough money, then paint a mural. It will take up a big part of the room, and it will certainly imply that you're a Harry Potter fan. Plus, it'll look pretty awesome! Decorate your room. You can decorate it with banners that match the color of the room, or you could use authentic-looking items that were used in the books or movies. Or, if you don't have a lot of money, you can just decorate your walls with posters. Another thing you can do is get some statues or toys of your house's animal! The house animals are: Gryffindor: Lion Hufflepuff: Badger Ravenclaw: Eagle Slytherin: Serpent Put up all the movie posters on your wall and different variations of them so you won't just have eight posters, but nine for Deathly Hallows parts one and two and the Cursed Child. You can even make your own. If you're good at drawing, draw a picture of your favorite character. Or just write the name of the house you're in, using a marker. Add soft furnishings. For your bed, you can put curtains around it if you have space, just like the students in your dormitory do. You can also change the sheets of your bed to your favorite house color. Get Harry Potter pillows, bedsheets, etc. Etsy is a good place to look. However, you may find this is over-the-top to add Harry Potter bedding, so don't worry if you don't want it. Place books on shelves. If you have a bookshelf, put your Harry Potter books on top, so people know you treasure them (You can also put the movies too.). Display your Harry Potter books and movies. It looks best if the books are in hardcover. There are many ways to display them; you could put them all on the top shelf of a bookshelf, or even get a special shelf just for them. Put them in a place where people coming in your room will notice them right away. Put a sign on your door that has a picture of your favourite character or house emblem. Put Harry Potter things around your room such as the things mentioned in the tips. There are some other ideas too like taking a regular broomstick and painting it to look a little fancier, or for the spell books, put a fancy book cover on your books. You can also paint a stick to make it look like a wand if you don't have one. Hang up HP pictures on a bulletin board. You can draw your own or print some off the internet. You could even show off pictures of you. could also have photos of you in your Harry Potter Character Halloween costume. Hang Hogwarts robes in your closet. Or even better, have a hook somewhere outside your closet and hang the robes on that. If you put them in the closet make sure the closet doors are open when company comes over. Add in some really cool stuff. Have an old trunk like the ones they bring to Hogwarts? Set it near your bed and use it as a toy chest or a cage for Hedwig. Have a stuffed animal owl? Put it somewhere where people can see it. If you have a Harry Potter Wand, set it on your nightstand. You could even hang the model of a Firebolt or Nimbus 2000 on the wall.

Add soft furnishings. Place books on shelves. Put a sign on your door that has a picture of your favourite character or house emblem. Put Harry Potter things around your room such as the things mentioned in the tips. Hang up HP pictures on a bulletin board. Hang Hogwarts robes in your closet. Add in some really cool stuff. Enjoy your Harry Potter themed bedroom!
https://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-the-Spread-of-Fungal-Infections	How to Prevent the Spread of Fungal Infections	To prevent fungal infections from spreading, wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water. While your infection is active, avoid public places where you might spread it, such as gyms and public pools. If the infection affects your feet, wear shoes and socks at all times, especially in areas like bathrooms and locker rooms where other people tend to go barefoot. Another good way to protect others is to cover your infections with clean bandages, and avoid sharing any personal items, such as shoes, socks, or towels. In case you work at a job that puts you in physical contact with other people, let your supervisor know so that they can take safety precautions.	Wash your hands often. Frequent hand washing is one of the best ways to stop the spread of fungal infections. Make sure that you wash your hands any time that you may have touched your fungal infection or after touching objects and surfaces that may be infected. For example, if you use equipment at the gym, then wash your hands right after you finish. Stay away from public places. If you have a fungal infection, then you should stay away from places where you may be more likely to spread the infection. For example, you may be more likely to spread a fungal infection if you visit the gym or go swimming in a public pool. Fungal infections of any kind are spread through contact. If you currently have a fungal infection, avoid going to any public place that might make it possible for your infection to spread to others. Do not visit any gyms, public pools, or public bathing areas until your infection is cured. Wear shoes wherever you go. You can pick up a fungal infection by walking around barefoot, so wearing shoes is a good way to protect yourself. If you have a fungal infection on your feet, then walking around barefoot will also increase the chance that you will spread it. Make sure that you are always wearing some kind of footwear when you are out in public, especially in places like locker rooms where more people tend to go barefoot. Tell your supervisor if you have a fungal infection. Some jobs require a lot of physical contact with people, which may put others at risk if you have a fungal infection. If your job requires a lot of direct contact with others, such as a nursing position, then you should tell your supervisor if you have a fungal infection. Use your own personal items. Don't share any personal items with others, whether you have a fungal infection or not. Since fungal infections spread through contact, sharing personal items with another person increases the risk of spreading the fungal spores. Although it may seem kind to share something with someone, avoid doing so to decrease your risk of spreading or contracting a fungal infection. Do not share any personal items such as clothing, towels, shoes, socks, makeup, deodorant, or anything else that you use or wear on your body. Cover up any existing fungal infections. If you currently have a fungal infection, you should cover it up before going out to a public place. Touching the infected area to another person or object by accident can cause the fungal infection to spread. Keep the area covered when you are in public until it has been treated. You won't need to keep your children home from school if they have a fungal infection. However, you will have to cover the area and inform the school. Don't cover the area too tightly. It is important to keep the area cool and dry as you treat the fungal infection. Use only your own towels, shoes, and socks. Sharing towels, shoes, and socks can increase your chance of spreading athlete's foot to others or of getting it yourself. Make sure that you only use your own towel and wear your own socks and shoes. Do not borrow or lend these items to people. Change your sheets and socks every day. Athlete's foot can get onto your sheets and socks, which may cause it to breed and spread. To prevent athlete's foot from spreading from one foot to the other or from becoming worse, change your sheets every day until your athlete's foot is gone and change your socks every day as well. You should also change your socks if they get sweaty because this will increase the chance that athlete's foot will spread. Keep your feet dry. Athlete's foot thrives in damp or wet environments. By keeping your feet dry you can make it more difficult for the bacteria that causes athlete's foot to infect you. Take some of the following steps to help keep your feet dry and prevent athlete's foot: If you are at home, and no one you live with has athlete's foot or any other fungal infection, you can go barefoot to keep your feet cool and dry. If your socks are sweaty or wet you should change them as soon as possible. If you find yourself away from home, keep a few clean and dry pairs of socks with you to prevent the chance of you having to go any period of time with sweaty or damp socks on your feet. Always dry your feet off completely after washing them. When getting out of the shower or after washing them off, make sure to rub dry in between your toes especially with a clean towel before you get dressed or put on socks and/or shoes. Wear the right shoes. Your shoes can play an important role in preventing athlete's foot. By selecting shoes that can help keep your feet dry and clean, you can reduce the chances of contracting and/or spreading athlete's foot. Keep some of these tips in mind when shopping for shoes: Try wearing a different pair of shoes each day to allow the shoes some time to dry in between uses. You can also sprinkle talcum powder in your shoes to help deal with moisture. If you're unable to have or can't afford to have several different pairs of shoes, try to at the very least have up to two pairs so that you're able to switch off to one or the other every new day. If you already have contracted athletes foot, then it helps to have or add into your variety a pair of sandals or open ventilated shoes to give your feet that extra bit of time not confined solely to shoes that must require the need for socks (note that you should also never wear shoes without socks such as tennis shoes, sneakers, etc. for that enables the perfect humid and sweaty conditions that athlete's foot bacteria lives in and grows progressively). Find shoes that allow air to reach your feet. This will help keep your feet dry and reduce your risk of developing athlete's foot. Don't share shoes with other people. Sharing shoes increases your risk of developing or spreading athlete's foot. Avoid shoes that are too tight, as this can increase how much feet sweat and leaves little to none ventilation for your feet. Leave footwear on in public places. If you find yourself out in a public place, you will want to wear proper footwear. Going barefoot in public will increase your chances of contracting athlete's foot and possibly other diseases. If you're using a public shower, always wear sandals or flip-flops. You should always wear some kind of footwear in a fitness center. Wear some water shoes if you visit a public pool. You can go barefoot at home, as long as no one else in your house has athlete's foot. Take care of your feet. Part of preventing athlete's foot involves keeping your feet dry, cool, and clean. To help you do this, you can apply different types of powder to your feet, keeping them dry and preventing athlete's foot from ever setting in. If you have a high risk of athlete's foot, try using an antifungal powder daily can help your feet stay cool and dry. Talcum powder can be applied to help prevent perspiration, keeping feet dry. Protect yourself from nail fungus when visiting a salon. Reputable salons use good sanitation practices to protect their clients and employees from skin infections, but it is still possible to get an infection from a reputable salon. There are some things you should keep in mind whenever you go for a manicure or pedicure. Make sure that any salon that you visit is licensed by the state health department. Ask how the nail tools are sanitized between uses. The tools should be heat-sanitized with an autoclave to kill all of the germs and bacteria. Other methods are not as effective. Never get a manicure or pedicure if you know that you have nail fungus. You may spread it to the nail technician. Tell the nail technician not to push back or trim your cuticles. This increases your risk of infection. Wash your hands before a manicure and request that the nail technician does the same. The nail technician should also wear gloves. Request a liner for the whirlpool bath or bring your own if you know that the salon does not provide them. Practice good hygiene. By practicing good hygiene you may be able to avoid contracting nail fungus. Keeping your hands and feet clean and dry is a simple way to prevent nail fungus from infecting your nails. Keep your nails trimmed short and keep them dry. Wash your hands and feet regularly. Remember to use soap. If you have nail fungus, avoid touching anything after touching your nails, as this can spread the fungus. Take good care of your feet. Feet are often subjected to conditions that carry a higher risk of contracting nail fungus. Shoes and socks create warm and moist environments, which is what nail fungus needs to grow. Take some of the following steps to prevent toenail fungus. Wear shoes that allow for airflow. Don't wear socks that cause your feet to sweat. Look for bamboo or polypropylene socks and avoid cotton. Change your socks often. Don't share shoes or socks with anyone. Alternate which pair of shoes you wear from day to day. Wash your socks in warm or hot water with detergent. Care for your nails. Damaged nails and nail beds can be an opening for nail fungus to take root in. By caring for your nails, and protecting any injured areas near them, you help keep any potential infections out. Don't pick or chew your fingernails. Take care of any cuts or injuries near your nails. Cut back on the use of nail polish. By applying nail polish or artificial nails, you may increase the risk of causing a fungal infection. Painting the nails can trap moisture and fungal spores underneath the nail, causing an infection. Try to reduce the amount you use nail polish to lower this risk. If you already have nail fungus, do not try to cover it with nail polish. This will only worsen the infection. Use protection during oral sex. Although vaginal intercourse does not seem to spread yeast infections from one partner to another, oral sex can lead to a yeast infection. Women may develop yeast infections after receiving oral sex due to the yeast in saliva. To reduce this risk, use plastic wrap or a dental dam during oral sex. Wear loose-fitting underwear and pants made with natural fibers. Tight-fitting, synthetic fiber underwear and pants can increase your chances of getting a yeast infection. To reduce this risk, wear only loose-fitting, natural fiber underwear and pants. For example, choose a comfortable-fitting pair of soft cotton underwear over a tight pair of synthetic material panties. It is important to wash underwear in warm water and soap — cold water washing in the sink does not remove or diminish yeast Do not wear pantyhose. Pantyhose also increases your risk of developing a yeast infection. Change out of wet panties and pants. Wetness increases the risk that you will get a yeast infection, so make sure that you keep your vaginal area dry. If your clothes get wet, such as after a workout or a swim, change out of them right away. Put on clean dry underwear and clothes. Wipe from front to back. Women who are concerned with preventing yeast infections should wipe from front to back. Wiping from front to back helps to reduce the chance of spreading bacteria from your anus to your vagina, which may cause a yeast infection. Don't use any scented sprays or products since it can cause more yeast infections. Avoid douching since it can eliminate natural bacteria and increase your risk of infection. Manage stress. Stress can increase your chances of developing a yeast infection, so make sure that you find ways to reduce your stress levels. Regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and using relaxation techniques can all help you to manage your stress levels. Some good stress relief techniques include yoga, deep breathing, and meditation. Identify risk factors. Ringworm is not very common, and the biggest risk is being around people or animals that are infected — ringworm can infect both humans and animals. Since ringworm is spread by contact, if you touch a person or animal that has it, you stand a chance of contracting ringworm yourself. Ringworm is most common in school-age children, as schools or daycares are where outbreaks usually occur. Only pick up pets you know and occasionally check them for ringworm. Do not handle wild or stray animals as they may carry many diseases, including ringworm. Check your pets for ringworm. Ringworm can look like a small hairless patch, with red skin. Sometimes your pet may not have any symptoms, so always wash your hands after handling them. Ask your veterinarian to check your pets for ringworm if you suspect they may have it. Shampoo your hair regularly. You can get ringworm on your scalp, which usually appears as an inflamed, scaly patch with hair loss. A simple technique that you can use to prevent ringworm on the scalp is to shampoo regularly, about every other day. By keeping your scalp clean, you can lower the chances of getting ringworm. Wash your hair well by massaging shampoo into your scalp. Avoid sharing any hats or hair care items with other people. Use anti-dandruff shampoo if you are prone to dandruff. While some people can tolerate daily shampooing, for many people this dries out the scalp and can actually increase the risk of infection. You may think it is best to shampoo every day, but pay attention if your scalp seems dry. Wash your body often and keep clean. Ringworm is spread through contact and is highly contagious. Washing your body with soap and water will help to remove any fungal spores from your body if you have come into contact with them. By staying clean, you can help reduce your chances of contracting ringworm. Shower regularly and wash thoroughly. Wash your hands throughout the day to keep them clean. Always fully dry off whenever you wash. Keep your hands away from the infected area. Don't scratch or touch the infected area. Although it may be tempting to scratch the affected area, you should avoid doing so. Scratching the area can lead to spreading it to other parts of your body or even other people. Limit the infection by not scratching. Avoid giving any personal items, such as clothing or a hairbrush, to other people. Always wash your hands after touching any infected areas. Touching the area and then touching another person can spread the infection.	Wash your hands often. Stay away from public places. Wear shoes wherever you go. Tell your supervisor if you have a fungal infection. Use your own personal items. Cover up any existing fungal infections. Use only your own towels, shoes, and socks. Change your sheets and socks every day. Keep your feet dry. Wear the right shoes. Leave footwear on in public places. Take care of your feet. Protect yourself from nail fungus when visiting a salon. Practice good hygiene. Take good care of your feet. Care for your nails. Cut back on the use of nail polish. Use protection during oral sex.

https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Good-Wing-Player-in-Soccer	How to Be a Good Wing Player in Soccer	To be a great wing player in soccer, you'll need to be fast, agile, and know how to be in the right place at the right time. If you want to improve your speed, have a friend hold your shoulders in place as you try to run forward. After 10 seconds, have them let go, which will help you start running at full speed from a stand-still. You should also practice dribbling drills daily. Moving the ball around cones and in confined spaces is great for improving your agility. When you're playing out on the field, look for open spaces when your team has the ball. Then, run to these places so you're ready when someone passes to you.	Improve your speed. The most basic physical attributes that a good winger should have is speed. With speed, you would be able to bomb down the wings like Ronaldo or Messi. To improve your speed, follow the steps laid out in this section. Have a friend place both of his hands on your shoulders. Try to run as hard as you can in the direction of your friend while he tries to prevent you from doing so with his or her hands on your shoulders. Ask your friend to let go and move away after about 10 seconds. This should result in you running at full speed in a forward motion. Repeat this method at least 10 times a week. You should find that your speed will increase in about a month or so. This method is widely used by many athletes to beef up their speed. Work on your stamina. Another physical attribute that a good winger should possess is stamina. A way to build this up is through swimming and frequent long distance jogs at high altitudes. The former increases lung capacity while the latter increases the amount of red blood cells that your body produces. These types of exercise increase the amount of oxygen you can take in your lungs with a single breath. Increase your agility. No winger would be complete without good dribbling and agility. How to build these up? Simple––follow the suggestions in this section. Do daily dribbling and movement with the ball in confined spaces. A good place to do it would be in your own home. But please avoid any damage to any thing or person. Do lots of turns with the ball and get accustomed to the leg movements. The more you do, the better your ball control will be. Ball control is essential for dribbling. Run. As for agility, you can do shuttle runs on a weekly basis. Try to time yourself every time you do it and make an effort to beat your timing at every attempt. Also, you could learn some dribbling moves through viewing tutorial videos on YouTube. Work on improving your weak foot. You need to be able to cross, pass, and shoot with both feet. Many of the world's greatest wingers are two-footed and are so dangerous because they are able to cut in and shoot or drift wide and cross. Work on using you weak foot to control, pass, and shoot the ball. It may feel awkward at first, but eventually, you will get used to it and it will feel natural. Look for space when your team is in possession. Run to the space and do this very frequently. Use your vision to help find spaces which aren't offside. Place yourself there regularly at right moments. Ask for someone to pass to you in that space. If in wing position, cross or dribble and shoot or pass.	Improve your speed.

https://www.wikihow.com/Find-Things-to-Talk-About	How to Find Things to Talk About	If you're worried about how to find topics to talk about with someone, choose topics for small talk that are linked to the event you're attending. For example, you could talk about your job at a social gathering with work colleagues or how you know a mutual friend when you meet a stranger at a party. You should also ask the other person open-ended questions to keep the conversation going. These can be questions like, “What do you do for a living?” or “What did you think of that new movie?”. If your conversation is stalling, ask the other person about their hobbies or interests, since most people enjoy talking about their passions. As you talk, maintain regular eye contact with the other person to show you're engaged with them.	Embrace small talk. Sometimes people dismiss small talk for being superficial or shallow. However, small talk serves an important social function: it allows relative strangers to become acquainted with one another without causing either party stress or discomfort. Allow yourself to engage in small-talk without feeling bad or shallow. Small-talk is important talk too! Pay attention to your environment. Appropriate topics of conversation can depend quite a bit on the specific event you are attending. For example, you cannot talk politics at a work event, but political conversations are appropriate at a candidate's fundraiser. Similarly, you will likely not want to "talk shop" at a friend's party, but you might want to do so at a work event. In general it is a good idea to: Consider the common thread that brought you both to the event (work, a mutual friend, a mutual interest) Steer clear of controversial topics unrelated to the event Remain polite and casual Ask questions that are simple but open-ended. An open-ended question is one that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and instead requires a more in-depth, personalized response. Ask your conversation partner some simple, basic questions about their lives that will allow you to get to know them without violating their boundaries. As a rule of thumb, anything you might be asked while setting up an online profile is game. What's your hometown? What was it like? Where do you work? What keeps you busy? What did you think about (such-and-such) movie? What kind of music do you like? What are your top five bands? Do you read? Which three books would you bring with you onto a desert island? Put a unique spin on the usual getting-to-know-you questions. There are a number of traditional small-talk questions that have to do with your hobbies, job, and family. Think about a few twists you can incorporate in order to let your small-talk go a bit deeper without violating any personal boundaries. Some good options include: What's the best surprise your life has thrown you so far? What's your oldest friend like? What would be your ideal job? What's one thing you think you would be really good at if you made the time to pursue it? What's your favorite thing about your job? Find out what the other person is interested in. People love having a chance to share their passions; if you're having trouble coming up with topics of your own, let the other person do all the heavy lifting by asking about a hobby, passion, or plan that they're particularly excited about. This will put the other person at ease. They might even return the favor by asking about your interests. Who's your favorite author/actor/musician/athlete? What do you like to do for fun? Do you sing or play any instruments? Do you play sports or dance? What are your secret talents? Focus on positive topics. People tend to bond more effectively over topics that are positive instead of negative, critical, or harping topics. Try to find a topic about which you are both passionate instead of resorting to insults or criticisms in order to generate conversation. For example, don't make small-talk at a dinner party about how much you hated the soup: talk about how you enjoyed the dessert instead. It is also a good idea to resist debating with your conversation partner. Share ideas respectfully without resorting to negativity. Focus on conversation quality, not the quantity of topics. If you get too wrapped up in the idea of having a lot of things to talk about, you might forget that one good topic can sustain a conversation for hours. Only when you've dried up a topic should you move on to the next. Of course, a good conversation tends to flow from topic to topic without effort; if you catch yourself thinking, "How did we end up on this subject?”, congratulations, you've got a good conversation going! Be friendly. While the topic of conversation is important, your friendly demeanor might even be more significant to starting a successful conversation. Your relaxed attitude will put the other person at ease – and they will be more receptive to you because of it. Smile, pay attention, and show your concern for other people's welfare. Ask follow-up questions. One of the best ways to find something to talk about is to encourage your conversation partner to share her thoughts, feelings, and ideas. If your conversation partner shares a detail about her life or tells a story, demonstrate your interest by following up. Make sure that you ask relevant questions. Do not steer the conversation toward yourself. For example, you might ask things like: "Why do you enjoy that (sport/show/movie/band/etc.)?" "I like that band too! What is your favorite album of theirs?" "What first drew you to (their interest)?" "I've never traveled to Iceland. What would you recommend a tourist do there?" Defuse heated conversations. Even if you try to avoid controversial topics, sometimes they happen anyway. Whether you or another person brings up a heated discussion topic, you can try to defuse it in a polite, careful way. For example, you might say: "Maybe we should leave the debating to the politicians and move on to another topic." "This is a difficult topic, but I doubt we'll solve it here. Perhaps we can leave this for another time?" "This conversation actually reminds me of (a more neutral topic)." Give compliments. If you can give your conversation partner a sincere, honest, appropriate compliment, feel free to do so. That might spark a conversation and will help your conversation partner feel appreciated and comfortable. Some compliments might include: "I like your earrings. Might I ask where you got them?" "The dish you brought to the potluck was delicious. Where did you find the recipe?" "Soccer is a strenuous sport. You must keep yourself in great shape!" You can also gush about the host of your event, especially if both you and your conversation partner are acquainted with the host. Find common interests but embrace differences. If both you and your conversation partner share a passion, that is terrific. However, you can also take the opportunity to learn about new places, people, and ideas that you are unfamiliar with. Strike a balance between finding common ground and demonstrating curiosity about what is new to you. For example, if both you and your conversation partner play tennis, you might ask what kind of racquet she prefers. If you play tennis and she plays chess, you might ask about how chess tournaments are run and whether they differ from tennis tournaments. Share the floor equally. Finding suitable topics to discuss is an important part of being a good conversationalist. But knowing when to be silent is also key. After all, you want your conversation partner to enjoy talking with you as well. Aim for a 50-50 split in your conversation to make sure everyone feels appreciated and valued. Pay attention to current events. You will be more likely to have interesting things to say if you have interesting thoughts about the world. Pay attention to the news, popular culture, art, and sports. These will all provide you with easy ways to craft an interesting conversation that will be engaging to multiple persons. Some great conversation starters related to current events include: How a local sports team is doing An important local event (such as a concert, parade, or play) New movies, books, albums, and shows Significant news items Show off your sense of humor. If you are gifted with the ability to tell good jokes and funny stories, feel free to use that as you seek topics of conversation. Don't force your sense of humor on others, but you can incorporate it into your conversation in a polite, friendly way. Be sure that your sense of humor is not one that relies on insults, too much sarcasm, or scatological humor however. These can be off-putting. Be yourself. Don't pretend to be an expert in a topic with which you are unfamiliar. Be honest and share your passions with others. Don't force yourself into being something that you're not. While it helps to be witty , funny , and interesting , don't worry about meeting those high standards. Simply be a pleasant, friendly version of your authentic self. For example, rather than pretend to be an expert on traveling in Spain, you can simply say, "Oh! I've never been to Spain. What is your favorite part of traveling there?" Don't be afraid of conventional or amateur thoughts. Sometimes people are hesitant to contribute to conversations because their ideas are not unique, unconventional, or creative enough. However, you shouldn't be ashamed of having thoughts that resemble other people's sometimes. If your knowledge of Monet doesn't go past what you learned in high school, feel free to share what you do know and learn from others with more experience. Consider previous conversations with this person. If you've met your conversation partner before, ask a specific question related to your previous conversation. Were they preparing for a major work project or sporting event? Did they talk about their children or spouses? If you demonstrate that you were listening carefully in a previous conversation, they will feel appreciative and might open up to you. Think about interesting events from your own life. Think about the strange, interesting, baffling, or funny things that happened to you recently. Have you had any funny encounters or odd coincidences happen? Mention these to your conversation partners as a way to open up conversation. End the conversation politely. If you notice that you or your conversation partner is distracted or bored, politely exit the conversation. Simply make a polite excuse to mingle elsewhere and start other conversations. Remember that a successful conversation doesn't have to be a long one: short, friendly conversations are important too. Some polite ways to end a conversation when its run its course include: "It was great to meet you! I'll give you a chance to mingle with some other people here." "It was a pleasure to talk to you about x. Hopefully we'll run into each other again." "I'm afraid I have to go say hi to (my friend/the host/my boss). I really enjoyed meeting you!" Ask deeper questions as your comfort level increases. Starting with small-talk is great, but deeper conversations can be even more satisfying. Once you and your conversation partner have grown comfortable with the simple questions, begin to ask more probing questions to see if he is receptive to a more substantive discussion. For example, if you've been discussing what you both do for a living, you might ask deeper questions such as: What is the most rewarding part of your career? Have you encountered any difficulties in your job? Where do you hope to be in a few years? Is this the career you expected, or did you take a nontraditional path? Recognize the benefits of deep conversation. Even introverts are usually made happier by engaging in conversations. In general, small talk makes people happy and substantive conversations make people even happier. Test deeper topics slowly. Don't spring intimate conversations on somebody: introduce the topics slowly to see your conversation partner's reaction. If they seem happy to engage, you can continue. If they seem uncomfortable, you can change the topic before any damage has been done. A few examples of ways to test out potentially hazardous conversation topics include: "I saw the political debate last night. What did you think?" "I'm pretty involved in my local church group. Is that something you're involved in?" "I'm passionate about bilingual education, though I realize that's a controversial topic sometimes..." Have an open mind. Convincing others of your point of view leads to negative emotions in your listener, whereas showing curiosity and respect for others leads to positive emotions. Don't use topics of conversation as a soapbox: use them as a way to engage others. Listen respectfully to their opinions, even if they disagree with yours. Test the waters with small details. Sharing small, specific details from your own life and experiences is a great way to figure out whether someone else wants to engage with you. If you get positive responses, you can continue on that topic of conversation. Otherwise, steer the conversation in a new direction. Answer a general question with a specific story. If someone asks you a general question, answer it with a specific, brief anecdote about your experiences. This can help keep the conversation moving and inspire others to share their own personal experiences. For example, if someone asks you what you do for a living, you can tell a story about a weird thing that happened to you during your commute. If someone asks you what your hobbies are, you can talk about a time when you competed in an event instead of simply listing off all your hobbies. If someone asks you what movies you've seen lately, you can talk about a funny encounter you had at the movie theater. Be honest about yourself. Studies show that disclosing information about yourself can cause you to be liked more. While you shouldn't overshare, being honest with others about your life, thoughts, and opinions will make people feel more comfortable sharing details about themselves. Don't be too reserved or play your cards too close to your chest. Try practicing being more vulnerable. Letting yourself disclose deep or personal information to others is critical in building and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Ask deeper questions if your listener seems open to it. Questions about moral dilemmas, personal experiences, and vulnerabilities can lead to bonding, especially among people who have gotten to know each other a bit already. If, after testing the waters, your conversation partner seems open to deeper discussion, consider asking some more personal questions. Be sure to gauge your partner's comfort level at all times, however, and steer the conversation to more casual topics if things begin to get awkward. Some questions could include: What were you like as a kid? Who was your biggest role model when you were growing up? Do you remember your first day of kindergarten? What was it like? What's the hardest you've ever tried not to laugh? What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever seen? You're in a sinking boat with an old man, a dog, and someone who's just gotten out of prison. You can only save one. Which would it be? Would you rather die as a total unknown who did great things or as a world-famous hero who didn't actually do the thing you were credited with? What's your biggest fear? What's the most embarrassed you've ever felt? What's one thing you wish you could change about yourself? How different is your life from what you imagined it would be like when you were a kid? Pay attention to eye contact. People who make eye contact are usually the ones who wish to engage in conversation. Eye contact can also help you determine whether a topic of conversation is one that your conversation partner will enjoy. If he begins to seem distracted or look elsewhere, you should consider changing the topic, asking your partner a question, or politely ending the conversation. Embrace the occasional silence. Silences happen. Feel free to embrace these silences, especially with those with whom you are already close. Don't feel obligated to fill every break in a conversation with your opinions, questions, and stories: sometimes these breaks are natural and positive. Create intentional breaks in the conversation. Pause every once in a while as you speak. This will allow your partner to change topics, ask you questions, or end the conversation if necessary. Be sure that you are not monologuing. Resist the urge to overshare. If you are first getting to know somebody, you should withhold your most intimate details until you get to know them better. Oversharing might make you appear gossipy, inappropriate, or shocking. Keep things factual but appropriately intimate until you become better acquainted. Some topics to avoid oversharing about include: Bodily or sexual functions Recent breakups or relationship turmoil Political and religious opinions Gossip and salacious stories Avoid sensitive topics. Topics that people do not like discussing in the workplace include personal appearance, relationship status, and socioeconomic status. Political and religious affiliations can also be taboo, depending on the context. Be sensitive to your listener and try to keep things casual and light until you have a better sense of what they are interested in. Avoid long stories or monologues. If you have a funny story to share, make sure that it is brief or that it has something to do with your listener's interests. Just because a topic is interesting to you doesn't make it interesting to others. Feel free to share (briefly) your interests and enthusiasms, and then gauge your listener's responses. Let them ask you follow-up questions (if they are interested in learning more) or change the subject (if they'd rather discuss something else). Take the pressure off yourself. It is not just your responsibility to keep the conversation going—it takes two to tango. If the other person is really not interested in your conversation, find another person to converse with. Don't beat yourself up over an unsuccessful conversation. Demonstrate active listening skills. Maintain eye contact and listen carefully when your conversation partner is speaking. Do not appear distracted or bored. Show that you are engaged and interested. A good listener is someone who will actually listen and focus on the other person instead of just trying to look engaged. Be present when someone else is speaking. Avoid trying to think of what you are going to say next. Instead, just listen to them. Have open body language. Conversations will go more smoothly if you smile, nod, and show interest with your body language. Don't shift too much, cross your arms, look down at your toes, or stare at your phone. Maintain an appropriate amount of eye contact and face your conversation partner openly.	Embrace small talk. Pay attention to your environment. Ask questions that are simple but open-ended. Put a unique spin on the usual getting-to-know-you questions. Find out what the other person is interested in. Focus on positive topics. Focus on conversation quality, not the quantity of topics. Be friendly. Ask follow-up questions. Defuse heated conversations. Give compliments. Find common interests but embrace differences. Share the floor equally. Pay attention to current events. Show off your sense of humor. Be yourself. Don't be afraid of conventional or amateur thoughts. Consider previous conversations with this person. Think about interesting events from your own life. End the conversation politely. Ask deeper questions as your comfort level increases. Recognize the benefits of deep conversation. Test deeper topics slowly. Have an open mind. Test the waters with small details. Answer a general question with a specific story. Be honest about yourself. Ask deeper questions if your listener seems open to it. Pay attention to eye contact. Embrace the occasional silence. Create intentional breaks in the conversation. Resist the urge to overshare. Avoid sensitive topics. Avoid long stories or monologues. Take the pressure off yourself. Demonstrate active listening skills. Have open body language.
https://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Ravioli	How to Cook Ravioli	One easy way to cook ravioli is by boiling it. First, bring 4 quarts (4.5 L) of water for every 1 pound (0.5 kg) of ravioli you're making to a boil. Then, add the ravioli to the water and stir to keep the ravioli separated. Let the ravioli cook for 4-6 minutes or until they float to the surface of the water. Then, drain the ravioli in a colander and add your sauce. You can also cook ravioli in the microwave. Place the ravioli in a microwave-safe dish and add ½ cup (118 mL) of sauce and ¼ cup (59 mL) of water for every 5 pieces of ravioli you're cooking. Cover the dish with parchment paper and microwave the ravioli on high for 2 minutes. Then, take the cover off and stir the sauce into the ravioli. Put the parchment paper back on and heat the ravioli for 2 more minutes. Another delicious option is to bake ravioli. Start by preheating your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Then, coat a baking dish with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray. Set the ravioli in the baking dish and pour your sauce over them. Finally, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake the ravioli for 55 minutes.	Get your ravioli. Buy or otherwise acquire a package of uncooked ravioli. Try the refrigerated or frozen pasta section of your grocery store. If you have any special dietary requirements, be careful which ravioli you buy. Ravioli is often stuffed with cheese, meat, or both, although you should be able to find non-meat and non-dairy varieties. The dough is usually made from wheat flour unless stated otherwise. Consider making your own ravioli. You can prepare a simple cheese-filled ravioli in just a couple of hours. You will need to make or prepare the filling, mix and shape the dough, and wrap the filling into the dough. Store uncooked ravioli in the refrigerator or freezer. Ravioli keeps best when it is cool. If you aren't cooking your ravioli immediately, place into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. If you don't plan to cook the pasta within a week, store it in the freezer in an airtight container. Frozen ravioli should be used within 30-45 days of purchase. Prepare ravioli to cook. If you are storing the pasta in the freezer or refrigerator, take it out immediately before you cook it. Cut fresh or refrigerated ravioli apart with a sharp knife to keep the pieces from sticking together in the pot. Do not try to thaw frozen ravioli. Put it into the pot while it's still frozen. Boil water. Fill a pot with 2–6 US quarts (2,000–6,000 ml) of cold water (per pound of pasta). Then, bring the water to a boil. Make sure that the pot is large enough to hold all of the pasta that you're making. Be sure to place a lid on the pot. This will help retain the steam—the heat and the moisture—and make the ravioli cook more quickly. Most ravioli recipes call for 4–6 US quarts (4,000–6,000 ml) of water to each pound of ravioli. Extra water quickly recovers the boil when the pasta is added; gives the noodles room so that they don't stick to one another; and dilutes the starch that they release, so they don't end up with a “gluey” texture. Feel free to use less water, however, as long as there's enough to submerge the ravioli. Cook the ravioli. Once the water begins to boil, put the ravioli into the pot. Follow the boiling instructions on the package. If there are no instructions on the package: cook at a boil for 4-6 minutes, or until the pasta begins to float. When a piece of pasta floats to the surface, it's ready. Salt the water to taste. As a rule of thumb, add one teaspoon of salt for each quart of water that you use. Consider adding olive oil to the water to keep the pasta from sticking: again, about a teaspoon of oil per quart of water. Stir the pot. Use a ladle or stirring spoon to swirl the water periodically as the pasta cooks. Separate any ravioli dumplings that are sticking together. Know when your ravioli is done. The ravioli should puff up and become whiter as the dough cooks. Some people like their pasta soft and fully-cooked. Other people like their pasta slightly harder and undercooked, or "al dente". Ravioli dough contains eggs, unless stated otherwise, so it is important to cook it thoroughly to avoid salmonella poisoning. Remember that larger ravioli will quick more slowly, and smaller ravioli will cook more quickly. If the ravioli begins to look bloated, or begins to come apart, then it may be slightly overcooked. Taste your ravioli throughout the cooking process. This is the best way to tell when it's ready. Nibble on the edge of a ravioli piece to discern whether it's done. If the ravioli is still at all cold or frozen, keep cooking. If the ravioli tastes doughy or floury, it may not be done. Drain the ravioli. If you have a colander or a pasta strainer, place it into the sink or any area that will allow the water to drain. Pour the contents of the pot—ravioli and water—into the strainer so that the water flows away, but the pasta remains. Pour slowly, and be careful not to lose any pasta. If you don't have a pasta strainer, pour the water out of the pot while keeping the pasta within. Tilt the pot sideways so the water trickles out the top. Hold the lid of the pot over the opening to hold back the pasta. Leave a tiny crack between the lid and the rim of the pot so that the water can slip through, but the ravioli cannot. Pour the water into the sink to dispose of it, or use it to water your garden. If you drain the pasta into another bowl or pot, you can carry the extra water outdoors and reuse it. Let the ravioli cool. It should be ready to eat within five minutes. Eat it as soon as it doesn't burn your mouth. Place the ravioli into a large bowl, and serve! Serve ravioli with your favorite sauce. Common choices include tomato sauce, marinara, pesto, and alfredo. Consider heating the sauce in a saucepan for several minutes, on a low heat, before serving. You can pour the sauce over the ravioli, or you can keep the sauce in a separate bowl. The latter option will allow each diner to portion their own sauce. Consider food and drink pairings. Consider serving ravioli with cooked vegetables, chicken or fish, fresh bread, and an Italian wine. Have fun with it, and don't be afraid to make the meal a cultural experience! Eat ravioli with a fork. Serve it with a ladle or a large spoon.	Get your ravioli. Consider making your own ravioli. Store uncooked ravioli in the refrigerator or freezer. Prepare ravioli to cook.

https://www.wikihow.com/Choose-Coloured-Contacts-(Dark-Skinned-Girls)	How to Choose Coloured Contacts (Dark Skinned Girls)	If you have dark skin, choose colored contacts with opaque lenses in colors like hazel or honey-brown to make the change in your natural eye color more subtle. Alternatively, opt for color-enhanced lenses if you want to make a bold statement or match dramatic hair colors. However, before you purchase the contacts, check out how they look in different lighting to make sure the color satisfies you at all times.	Learn more about colored contacts. Decorative colored contacts cover your iris in a new color. This can closely match your natural color to enhance it, or it can be dramatically different. Colored contacts will never look exactly the same on any two people. Opaque lenses are meant to entirely cover your natural eye color. If you have dark eyes, you might need to get opaque lenses in order to alter your eye's natural color. Color-enhancement lenses are intended to shade your existing eye color. If you have light colored eyes, these lenses can brighten your natural shade or change it altogether. They may not have any effect on dark eyes, however. Equinox lenses are lenses that have a dark ring around the iris. It's both a subtle and a dramatic effect, particularly in light eyes. It's subtle because it's not immediately recognizable what is different about the person, but it's definitely noticeable. These are sometimes called "circle lenses". Custom-tinted or sports tinted lenses are increasingly popular choices. These are both cosmetic and practical, as the choice of color may enhance sports ability. Colored contacts can reduce glare, enhance contrast sensitivity and heighten depth perception. For example, a tennis player may wear green contacts in order to see the tennis ball more clearly. Determine your skin color. Dark skin color can be seen in terms of "warm" or "cool". Cool means your skin has pink, red, or bluish undertones. Warm skin has undertones of yellow or peach. Some people have neutral skin, which is a mixture of the warm and cool. Is your skin tone more olive in complexion? If so, you have a warm skin tone. Do you look best in bright white, black, or silver tones? You might have a cool skin tone. You'll likely look best in brown, amber or green contacts. If you have lighter skin, the best way to determine whether your skin has warm or cool tones is by looking at your veins. If your veins appear blue, you likely have cool tones. If your veins appear greenish, you likely have warm skin tones. Consider your natural eye color. Most dark-skinned girls have dark eyes, but not all. If you have light eyes, a subtle colored contact lens might be green or blue. If you have dark eyes, you might choose opaque colored contact lenses. Hazel or honey-brown lenses will be more natural on a dark eye. Bright colors, like blue, purple, or green, will make you more noticeable. You can also choose to enhance the natural color of your eyes using colored contact lenses. Consider your hair color. After your skin, your hair will probably be the first thing that someone sees near your eyes. If your hair is dark, consider dark lenses, or dark colors like violet or dark blue. If you have a dramatic hair color, like platinum-blonde, or a combination of colors, you might want to choose a dramatic eye color as well. Consider opaque contacts in shades of emerald green or ice blue. If you don't dye your hair, dramatic contacts may look even more dramatic. Try on different colors before making a final decision. Think about the desired effect you want from your contacts. Do you want to make a dramatic statement with your colored contact lenses? Or would you rather enhance your natural appearance? Using colored contacts can result in either effect. Bright colored contact lenses on naturally dark eyes will definitely make your eyes noticeable. You might decide to purchase multiple contacts in order to try different effects for different occasions. For example, maybe you want to purchase one set of contacts for work, and another for night life. Check out how your eyes look in different lighting. Wear your contacts in low lighting, and see how the effect of your colored contacts changes. The effect will be different in bright lighting. Move to different areas, carrying a hand-held mirror if you need to, to see how your new contacts will look in different lights. Consider where you're most likely to wear your new colored contacts. Are you planning to wear them out clubbing? Or are they for daily wear? If you've narrowed your choices down to 2 different colors, try wearing a different color in each eye as you move between different lighting. This might make your choice easier. Remember, you can always purchase more than 1 set of colored lenses for different purposes. Talk to an eye doctor. Remember that contact lenses, even decorative ones, are medical devices. Even if your contacts don't require a prescription to help correct your vision, they should be fitted to your eye. Anyone selling contact lenses must verify your prescription by calling your doctor. Poorly fitted or cheaply made lenses are more likely to result in eye injury or infection. Avoid ordering contacts over the internet, from a costume shop, flea market, or street vendor. Learn more about different types of contacts. Whether your contact lenses are prescribed to correct your vision, or whether they're decorative, your contacts will be one of many kinds. Most contacts are soft contacts, which means that they are flexible. Soft lenses allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Soft contacts are disposable, and can be worn for one day (daily disposable), 2 weeks, or 4 weeks. Lenses can also be hard, which means they are rigid and breakable. These contacts are also known as RPGs or "rigid gas permeable." Contacts can also be bifocal. Even though contacts can be worn for many days, it's best to remove them each night as you sleep. RPGs may be the best choice of contact lenses for someone with allergies. Even though RPGs once had a reputation for "popping out" of the eye, newer models have greatly improved the comfort level and sustainability. Soft lenses have a greater chance of sliding up underneath the eyelid, or getting folded while still in the eye. Wear contacts as directed. People who wear contact lenses have an increased risk of infection to the cornea. Wearing contacts in a way other than prescribed - e.g. wearing daily contacts for a week, or wearing them overnight - may result in temporary, or even long-term damage to the cornea. Soft, extended-wear contacts have the highest risk of developing protein build-up on the lens. This may result in lens-related allergies. Infections often result from poor lens cleaning as well as misuse. Learn more about risk factors associated with wearing contacts. Even though contacts are popular and easy to wear, there are still some hazards associated with wearing contact lenses. Eye infections, scratching the cornea, and allergic reactions as demonstrated by itchy, red, watery eyes are among the most common results from wearing contacts, even if you follow all the guidelines. If you choose to wear contacts, you need to also be able to commit to taking care of the contact lenses as well as your own eyes. If you're wearing contacts as a decorative accessory, make sure your lenses are FDA-approved. Anyone selling contact lenses is required to get a prescription from your doctor - even if you don't require prescriptive lenses! The reason for this is that contact lenses must be fit to your eye, and contacts that don't fit properly could result in damaging your eye or even causing blindness. Check your medical history. If you're someone who frequently gets eye infections, has chronically dry eyes, or serious allergies, you may not benefit from wearing contact lenses. If you work in an area with a lot of particle matter in the air, you might also want to avoid contacts. If you're the kind of person who has a hard time doing the daily washing and caring for contacts that they require, you might want to avoid wearing contacts. Wearing contact lenses means that you'll have to take them out in the evening. If you have a schedule where your evenings are greatly varied, you might want to stick to glasses. If you're planning to just wear decorative colored lenses, make sure you bring a case to store them in when your eyes are tired and you need to remove your lenses. Keep your contacts clean. Always wash your hands well with soap and water before touching your contact lenses. It's recommended that you clean your contact lens case every day, and change your case at least once every 3 months. Never share your colored contact lenses with someone else. Homemade contact lens cleaning solutions have been linked to serious eye infections. Always purchase FDA-approved saline and cleaning solution. Notice changes in your eyes. Take out your contact lenses and call your doctor if you start to notice signs of eye discomfort or distress. If your eyes start to hurt, itch, or become red and watery, you may have an eye infection or injury. If your eyes may become overly sensitive to light, or you have blurry vision, call your doctor. Your eye may feel scratchy, as if there's something stuck in it. This can be an indication of a scratch on your cornea. Always start by taking your contact out when you notice these signs.

https://www.wikihow.com/Keep-Your-Mouth-Shut	How to Keep Your Mouth Shut	To keep your mouth shut, allow everyone at least 2 minutes to share their thoughts and avoid interrupting or asking questions while they're speaking. If you've asked someone a question, give them 15 seconds to reply and don't fill that silence with chatter. Consider keeping negative thoughts to yourself unless the situation requires you to speak up. Writing your thoughts down in a journal can help you work through them without saying them out loud!	Imagine speaking your first thoughts but don't actually say them. When you're just starting out with keeping your mouth shut, it can be difficult to not respond when you want to. To help you get over this, think about what you were going to say and imagine how the conversation would play out. Then, don't say what you were going to. This is a really effective technique if you get emotional or upset and your immediate urge is to respond. Write down your thoughts instead of speaking. If you still have a difficult time keeping your mouth shut, try writing down your thoughts in a journal. Sometimes, just putting your thoughts down is enough to remove the feeling like you have to talk. Then, you can throw away what you wrote or use the note to phrase what you're planning to say. For example, your note might say, "Why did you schedule that party without asking me?! You're thoughtless sometimes." Then, throw the note away without saying that or respond by saying, "I wish you hadn't scheduled the party without talking with me first." Practice active listening. Pay attention to not only what the person is saying, but how they're saying it. Look for non-verbal cues, such their facial expressions or what they're doing with their hands. You'll have a better idea of what they're trying to communicate and they'll feel more comfortable speaking if they know you won't cut them off. For example, if you ask someone if they'd like to babysit your kids and they say, "I'm not sure if I can," don't interrupt them. If they're also frowning and fiddling with their hands, you may tell that they feel uncomfortable with the idea and you shouldn't press them on it. Try meditative practices to calm your mind. It will take some effort to keep your mouth shut, especially if you keep thinking of things you'd like to say. Train your mind to become more peaceful. You might try: Meditation Yoga Reading Walking or jogging Painting Keep quiet instead of complaining or whining. If you tend to speak out about everything and everyone that bothers you, others will begin to see you as a whiner. You might lose some respect and people will be less likely to listen to you. This is especially true if you tend to complain about things that you can't change, such as the weather. Hold your tongue if someone is being rude or thoughtless. Everyone has off days where they're short-tempered or just going through something challenging. Instead of getting mad or calling the person out, let them say what they need to and try to be kind. The person might feel bad about their behavior later and they'll appreciate that you didn't highlight their poor behavior. Leave gossip to other people. Whether you're around the water cooler or in the hallway between classes, resist the urge to talk about others behind their backs. People are less likely to trust you if they know that you frequently gossip and you might say something hurtful or get into trouble. It's better to stop gossiping altogether. Remind yourself why gossiping is harmful. The information you're sharing could be inaccurate or it might make someone angry, for instance. Stop yourself if you're angry and going to say something harmful. It's easy to lash out when you're mad about something, but you're more likely to create conflict if you react in anger. It's much better to not say anything than to say something you'll regret. It's also a good idea to keep your mouth shut if saying something would only make another person really angry. Hold off on speaking if you're negotiating a deal or making a plan. Keep sensitive information to yourself, especially if it involves other people's decisions. Don't discuss details about a new hire, offer you've been given, or group project you're working on, for instance. Others might not like that you're telling people what's happening, especially if plans aren't final yet. You'll also feel silly if things don't work out like you'd said. For example, instead of saying, "I'm going to be the lead in the play because I don't think anyone else has the experience," stay quiet until you know the outcome of casting. Stay silent instead of bragging about yourself. No one like to listen to someone talk about their own accomplishments so don't always bring the focus of the conversation back to yourself. People will appreciate your actions more if someone else mentions them and praises you for them. For example, don't say, "I was the one who closed the big deal so you all have me to thank." If you don't say anything, another person might mention the part you played in the success and it will look better coming from someone else. Keep quiet if you don't know the answer to something. If you're in the habit of talking too much, you probably answer questions that you don't even know the answer to. Make an effort to stop doing this. Most people can tell that you don't know what you're talking about and you're wasting everyone's time if you can't move the conversation forward. If you find that you must answer, you can say, "I don't know much about this. Does anyone else have any ideas?" Appreciate silence instead of talking to fill it. If no one's speaking and people look slightly uncomfortable, just wait for someone else to talk. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but you'll be able to keep your mouth shut if you practice. Another person might be thinking of something to say or they may be building the courage to join the conversation. Avoid oversharing with strangers. If you frequently interact with strangers, it can be tricky to know when you're talking too much. Pay attention to how much personal information you share with people you don't really know. You can still be friendly without telling them everything about your life. You should also watch the other person's reaction. For example, if you're talking too much, they may look away, appear bored, or try to walk off. This is also true with acquaintances that you don't know very well. People can feel put-off or overwhelmed if you give them too much info about yourself. Give yourself time to think before you talk. Instead of chattering and saying everything that crosses your mind, try to speak with intention. Mentally decide what you're going to say and how you're going to say it. You'll appear more confident, especially if you're not pausing and saying, "um," a lot. Ask questions instead of chatting. If you talk too much, you're probably not asking questions or you're not giving people enough time to answer. You'll have a more fulfilling conversation if everyone is interacting and responding with each other. Ask a meaningful question and then wait until the person actually responds. Don't interrupt or answer the question for them. Asking questions is especially important in meetings, negotiations, or class. Speak if you can add value to the conversation. Genuinely listen to others and ask yourself if you're contributing to the conversation. If someone else has already said what you were going to say, there's no need to repeat it. Wait to talk until you can say something that's useful or enlightening. The more you practice this, the more people will value what you have to say.	Imagine speaking your first thoughts but don't actually say them. Write down your thoughts instead of speaking. Practice active listening. Try meditative practices to calm your mind. Keep quiet instead of complaining or whining. Hold your tongue if someone is being rude or thoughtless. Leave gossip to other people. Stop yourself if you're angry and going to say something harmful.

https://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-You-Have-Started-Puberty-(for-Girls)	How to Tell if You Have Started Puberty (for Girls)	If you're trying to figure out if you've started puberty, consider if you've experienced a recent growth spurt. Suddenly needing to buy new clothes or shoes because they no longer fit indicates that your body is growing and changing shape. You can also check in your underwear for pubic hair, which is a telling sign that puberty has arrived. Keep in mind that pubic hair may be soft and straight or thick, coarse, and curly. You might also start growing hair in other new places, like your arm pits. Starting your period is a sure sign that you've entered puberty, but don't worry if you haven't yet. Everyone starts at different times and your body is still developing whether you've started your period or not.	Check for general growth. Have you noticed that you need new clothes, shoes, or other items all of a sudden? When you hit puberty you may gain weight and grow taller. Noticing this type of general growth can cue you to look for more specific signs of puberty. Recognize body odor. When you go through puberty, your hormones are in overdrive and your sweat glands start becoming more active. Your sweat will start to mix with bacteria, which will cause body odor. Luckily, there are many things you can do to get rid of this unpleasant odor, including: Take a shower or bath every day. Scrub your body from top to bottom using warm water and a mild soap. Use deodorant or antiperspirant on your underarms every day. Deodorant covers up the unpleasant odor and antiperspirant keeps you from sweating a lot. Wear 100% cotton underwear to ensure fresh breathability. Feel your chest for breast buds. Look at the area around your nipples on your chest. Gently press on this spot with your fingers for small, firm, and tender lumps. If you feel a nickel-sized bump on each side, you're probably starting to develop breasts Most girls start developing breast buds when they're 9 or 10. Don't worry about checking your breasts by hand. It's completely normal to explore your body as you develop. One bud might develop more quickly than the other as your chest gets bigger. Check in your underwear for pubic hair. Look at or feel your pubic area, which is around your vagina, with fingers for little hairs. They may be soft and straight or thick, coarse, and curly. Having pubic hair is a sign you've started or are about to begin puberty. It's completely normal to examine your vagina or labia for pubic hair. Stand in front of the mirror to check your shape. In addition to feeling breast buds and seeing pubic hair, you may notice your shape changing. Think about if you've noticed your clothes fitting differently, for example. Looking for regular changes to your shape in the mirror can also tell you if you're starting puberty. Other parts of your body that may get rounder or slightly bigger include: Hips Thighs Arms Legs Hands Feet Breasts Butt Wait a year or two for armpit and leg hair. Gently touch under your arms and look at yourself in a mirror to see if you have any hair in your armpits. Also take a close look at your legs. Your leg hair may be getting darker, thicker, and more noticeable. Check for hair in these areas about a year or two after you see pubic hair. Armpit and leg hair grow in a pattern similar to pubic hair: it may be sparse and soft at first and then become thicker, darker, and more coarse. Check for vaginal discharge. Look in your underwear for signs of vaginal discharge a year or two after you get breast buds. You may even feel it in your underwear or between your legs. The discharge might be thin and watery, thick like mucus, or white or off white in color. Having discharge is completely common and normal and a good way to tell you're going through puberty. Let a doctor or trusted person know if your vaginal discharge is not white or off white and smells unusual. This may be a sign of an infection. Check for genital development. During puberty, your vaginal labia, or "lips", grow slightly larger and may also become darker in color.. During puberty, your inner labia, or labia minora, will become more prominent. You can't see it, but inside your body, your vagina will grow longer and your uterus will become bigger. Get your first period. Expect your period to start within six months to a year of noticing vaginal discharge. Check for any signs of blood in your underwear or in your vaginal discharge. This can mean that you're going through puberty and about to have your first period. For many girls, this is often the most exciting and scary part of puberty. It's common for your period to be irregular after you first menstruate. You may experience bloating around the time you get your period. When this happens, you'll feel that your belly is more full or swollen than normal. You may have some cramps, backaches, or headaches before and during your period. Inspect your skin for changes. See if you notice more oil, pimples, or irritation on your skin. As your body changes, so does your skin. Breakouts and oily skin on your face, neck, chest and/or back may also indicate that you're going through puberty. Wash your face with a mild soap or cleanser to get rid of excess oil and keep breakouts at bay. Ask your doctor for advice or a prescription medication if your breakouts are severe. It's completely common to have acne during puberty, but because it's often an emotional time, breakouts may make problems or feelings worse. Keep a journal of your emotions. Write your feelings down every day or whenever you need a little consolation. Hormones gush through your body during puberty and these can change make your emotions. Read through your journal once a week to see if you notice a lot of ups and downs. Changing emotions can help you tell if you are going through puberty. Some emotions you might notice are: Feeling uncomfortable with your body's changes. Being sensitive to things people say or do. Having intense emotions such as being very jealous of someone when you didn't care about them before. Having less confidence. Feeling anxious or even depressed. Being more irritable or angry for no reason. Pay attention to how you think. When you do homework or deal with different situations, notice if you think about or handle them in different ways. These new thought patterns can be a sign you're starting puberty. Watch for these different types of changes to how you think: Understanding harder subjects or responsibilities, such what happens when you don't do your chores or homework. Making more of your own choices, such as knowing when you should stand up for what is right and wrong. Knowing what you like and don't like. See if you are becoming more distant from your parents. You may have trouble communicating with your parents. Also, you may feel more withdrawn or embarrassed by your parents. Boys also experience similar problems with parents. Experience curiosity about your body. Wanting to look at and touch your body is a normal part of growing up and going through puberty. You may even be more curious about sex and sexuality as you develop. Explore your body and enjoy masturbation if you want. Both are very normal, common, and nothing about which to be ashamed. They're also a good way to tell you're going through puberty. Masturbation and touching your own body are completely normal. Neither will make you hair grow on your hands, cause you to go blind or develop emotional problems. It won't make you unable to have kids, either. Ask a trusted person about your interest in your body and masturbation. Don't be embarrassed, they may have gone through or are experiencing the same feelings! Welcome feelings of attraction to others. Romantic or sexual feelings are another normal part of being an adult. Notice if you start to have feelings for other people—boys or girls— when you notice other signs of puberty. This can help you further tell if you're going through puberty. Talk to friends, family, or a medical professional if you have questions about attraction, dating, kissing, and sex.	Check for general growth. Recognize body odor. Feel your chest for breast buds. Check in your underwear for pubic hair. Stand in front of the mirror to check your shape. Wait a year or two for armpit and leg hair. Check for vaginal discharge. Check for genital development. Get your first period. Inspect your skin for changes. Keep a journal of your emotions. Pay attention to how you think. See if you are becoming more distant from your parents. Experience curiosity about your body. Welcome feelings of attraction to others.
https://www.wikihow.com/Diagnose-the-Cause-of-Fatigue-in-Horses	How to Diagnose the Cause of Fatigue in Horses	If your horse seems fatigued, observe it during physical training and see if it struggles with certain movements. If so, your horse may need additional training to strengthen its muscles. Additionally, feel your horse after a training session to see if it feels overheated, and give your horse a cold bath if necessary. To prevent fatigue during exercise, always warm your horse up and cool it down before and after training sessions. Finally, make sure your horse is getting enough water and getting a healthy quantity of fat in its diet.	Check if the horse struggles with certain movements during training. You should observe the horse during physical training and notice if it struggles during any movements or tricks. If your horse has difficulties with certain movements, this may be a sign that it is not as strong in certain muscle areas as it could be, and this could lead to fatigue. You should try to include more training that uses muscles on your horse that appear weak or underdeveloped. If you are not already doing physical training with your horse, you should do so, as physical training can help your horse get used to exercising its muscles. This can help to combat fatigue later on. Some exercises to help build muscle include doing hill work (if hills are available), using cavaletti poles, and performing gluteal tucks. Notice if the horse appears hot and fatigued after a long training session. You should pay attention to how the horse feels after a long training session. Place your hand on your horse and feel if it is very hot the touch. This is a sign it may be overheating due to physical strain and needs to be cooled down. You may then dump buckets of cold water on the horse, scrape it off with a sponge, and then reapply it again. You should also notice this issue when your horse does intensive physical activity, such as endurance racing or hunting. Horses tend to get more fatigued after doing these kinds of activities and you should do your best to cool the horse down so it does not get overheated and overtired. Make sure you warm up and cool down the horse before and after a training session. Most horses do well with a 10 minute warm up session before you start any physical training with them. A warmed up horse will perform better during physical training and be less likely to develop fatigue. If you do not warm up your horse before training, this may be a contributing factor to the horse's fatigue. Try to get in the habit of warming up your horse before training with a 10 minute trot around the stable or the grounds. Doing this could prevent fatigue. Your cool down should also be about 10 minutes and include either a slow tack walk or a hand walk. This allows your horse's body temperature to slowly come down and normalize. You can also do this cool down after you've bathed your horse at the end of a training session. Look at how much water the horse drinks. Notice if your horse drinks enough water before any intense or prolonged training. It should be well hydrated so it does not become fatigued. You should also make sure it gets enough water when it is performing in a hot environment, as this can prevent overheating. If you notice your horse appears fatigued mid training or during intense exercise, you should stop the horse and make sure it drinks water. You may also move the horse to a shady area so it can cool down while it rehydrates. Check that the horse’s diet contains fat. You may want to add fat to the horse's diet during prolonged periods of exercise, as added fat affects your horse's response to exercise. Your horse may have a more stable body temperature and be less likely to get overheated or feel fatigued. One option is to feed your horse vegetable oil at a rate of 100 to 120 grams per kilogram of weight before a long training session. This can be easily done by top dressing the horse's morning feed. Think about how often you feed the horse. You should feed your horse small portions every four hours leading up to a competition or a race. This can help to ensure your horse has enough energy for the event but is not feeling too heavy or bogged down by food. You should also reduce the fiber intake of the horse, as this can decrease fatigue in the horse, and avoid giving the horse a large meal one to two hours before a competition or race. Make sure your horse is not overweight, as this can lead to fatigue during intense exercise or training. You should monitor your horse's weight to ensure it does not weigh too much for its breed. Allow the vet to do a physical exam. The most definitive way to diagnose the cause of your horse's fatigue is to get your vet to do a physical exam of your horse. You may ask your vet to do a house call to examine your horse or bring the horse to the vet. Your vet may do a full physical exam of the horse, noting the horse's behavior when it walks or moves around. They may also ask you questions about the horse's training routine, diet, and level of fluid intake to determine the cause of the horse's fatigue. The vet may want to run bloodwork to look for abnormalities that could explain the fatigue or a prolonged recovery time. Discuss the diagnosis with the vet. The vet should be able to diagnose the horse and tell you the cause of the horse's fatigue. You should ask the vet if the cause is chronic and needs intensive treatment or if the cause is easy to treat and address. Depending on your horse's symptoms, it may simply be suffering from poor diet and dehydration. In some cases, your horse may have a more serious medical issue such as chronic fatigue, a genetic disorder or fibromyalgia. Determine your treatment options. Your vet will recommend certain treatment options based on your horse's diagnosis. You will need to follow the vet's instructions and make sure the horse receives the necessary care so the issue can be resolved. Your vet will be able to prescribe you the appropriate workout schedule to keep your horse physically fit enough for the work you want to do. This will prevent your horse from becoming fatigued continually. Your vet may recommend changes in the horse's diet and training routine to prevent fatigue in the future. If your horse has a more serious medical issue, such as chronic fatigue, you may need to give the horse a saline solution or other medication to address the issue.

https://www.wikihow.com/Write-an-Invitation	How to Write an Invitation	To write an invitation, begin with a polite phrase such as "please attend" or "We request your attendance." Additionally, include the date and time of the event, and the location where it will take place. You should also say whether invitees can bring a guest, and ask them to RSVP by email or phone. Finish by signing off politely with "Sincerely" or "Love," and including both your and the recipient's addresses on the envelope.	Make a basic list. This should include all the people you can't imagine having your event without such as your immediate family and very best friends. If the event is professional, you'll likely want to include business associates on your list. Graduation parties and other academic celebrations may include your mentors or favorite teachers. Weddings and other celebrations with multiple hosts need to take into consideration inviting those people who are important to each party. Include other friends and family. Once you have the basic list, compare that to the maximum number of people your party or gathering can accommodate. At this point, you can begin adding further removed family members and friends who you are not as close to. If you end up with fewer people than the maximum, that's okay, but try not to go over this number. Consider "plus ones. " If you're going to allow your invitees to bring a guest, you'll need to factor this in when determining the final guest list. Additionally, you may want to include parameters for the plus one. For instance, if you are not including children in your event, you may want to include a polite notes reminding your guest that their plus one should not be younger than a certain age. You could say something like, "Mr. Tom Smith and guest are cordially invited to attend my wedding reception. We ask that all guests be over the age of eighteen." Review the guest list. Make sure you haven't left anyone out. Ask a close friend or family member to take a look at the list for you, and make any suggestions for addition or subtraction from the list. Keep the maximum number of guests in mind and avoid inviting too many people. However, if you believe some of your guests will be unable to attend, you may want to send a few extras. If you're concerned you may have some cancellations or regrets from those you invite, consider sending an initial set of invitations early. Then, send out a second round of invites if many people are unable to attend. Make your own invitations. You can design and print an invitation in Microsoft Word, the Adobe Design Suite, or other open access word processing or design software options. If you or a friend have great handwriting, you can even hand letter the invitations. Use high-quality paper that feels like a card or has an interesting texture. You can also create weight by layering your invitations. Starting with a standard card-sized printed invitation, you can add a thicker, colored sheet of card stock that is slightly larger to the back with a small amount of glue or double sided tape. If you want to personalize your invitations and save time, consider using custom stamps. You have a personalized note or a picture turned into a rubber stamp. Then, you can quickly replicate each card for your guest. Purchase custom invites. If you want to save some time compared with DIY invitations, you can order personalized invitations. Prices vary dramatically based on the style, paper type, printing in color or black and white, and other variables, so have an idea of the look you want in order to get an accurate price quote. Party City, Target, Staples, Office Max, and local stationers or artisans will all offer custom invitation printing. Most shipping companies like UPS and FedEx also offer custom invitations. Online providers like VistaPrint and Shutter Fly make and send customized invitations as well. Consider streamlining with electronic invitations (evites). If your guests are more modern or your event is less formal, invitation applications like iTunes, Evite, or even Facebook can make inviting everyone on your guest list quick and easy. Most programs allow you to upload your own custom designs or use a standard template, so you can streamline your invitation process. In addition to making the design process go more quickly, you'll also be able to send the invites immediately via digital file and receive RSVPs right away, which is great for tight timelines. Write a welcoming invitation note. Make sure your note includes the occasion of the event, the date, location, and the time. You should also let your invitee know whether or not they're encouraged to bring a guest. Additionally, request that your invitees RSVP using an enclosed card, email address, RSVP application, or by phone depending on your preference. Keep it short and sweet, but make sure you include polite request phrases like “Please attend,” or “We request your attendance,” to make sure your invitees feel welcome. For instance, try something like: "Please come to my birthday party. The event is on October sixteen at my home. The party will take place from 3 o'clock to 4:30. Please RSVP as soon as possible using the included RSVP card, my email, or calling me on the phone." You should also include any special directions to your event or instructions such as dress code or other relevant information. Address the invitee correctly. The most important thing to keep in mind is the intention. Your intention is to show respect to your guests, so do your utmost to remember and include these details. If you're inviting a single woman who is unmarried, you'll want to use “Miss” or “Ms.,” or if the invite is addressed to a single man, “Mr.” If you're inviting a married couple, you'll use “Mr.” and “Mrs.” However, things become more complicated, if you're inviting friends or relatives who have special titles like “Dr.” or “Esq.” If you do mistakenly address an invitation, apologize over the phone, in person, or in writing. This is more than adequate atonement for your faux pas. Include recipient and return addresses. In the top left hand corner of the envelope, you'll need to include your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. In the center of the envelope, include the same information for your invitee. You may also want to include your contact information inside the invitation either on the invitation itself or on an RSVP card. That way, if your invitee misplaces the envelope, they still have access to your contact information. Sign off politely. Your closing line or valediction and signature should be specifically catered to your audience. For instance, if you're inviting your boss, a polite “sincerely” is likely the best valedictory. If you're closing out the invitation to your parents, “love” may be more appropriate. This is a great opportunity to quickly and easily include a personalized touch to your invitation notes that doesn't take up too much time. Use an inside joke to make the invitation personal. For instance, “Thanks for always buying my drinks, Rob.” Will be a very personal message you can quickly write to a college roommate on your wedding invitation. This would likely not be appropriate on your parents' invitation. Decorate your invitations. You can find a wide array of decorative flourishes as simple as a borderline to more complicated vines, roses, or pumpkins. If you have a friend or family member who's an artist, you can even ask them to custom design your invitation. This is yet another great opportunity to include your personal style in the invitation making process. However, ensure your design fits the event. For instance, the skull and crossbones may be a fun decoration for a Halloween party invite, but it is unlikely to fit your wedding invitation. Keep track of RSVPs manually. If you've instructed your invitees to respond using an included card or to call, it may be easiest to create a manual RSVP list. This can be as simple as a printed guest list with check marks to indicate attendance or 'X's to indicate those who are unable to attend. Conversely, you can create a more advanced manual tracking system using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or online spreadsheet tool to tally the total number of RSVPs, plus ones, the number of adults or children, type of meal, and other predetermined factors. Use an online RSVP system. If you determined digital invitations are the best solution for your event, you will more than likely be given access to a digital RSVP tracking program. This is one of many reasons people choose digital invites. However, if you choose traditional paper invites, you can still plug your invitation list and RSVP information into digital tracking systems to streamline the RSVP process. Eventbrite, Evite, and other similar RSVP resources are available at minimal or no cost to use. Prepare for the appropriate number of guests. Once you have a good idea how many of your guests can attend the event, make sure your venue, food vendor, and other accommodations will meet the needs of your guests. Double check the number of meals you've ordered, any maximum occupancies in buildings, and other possible concerns to make sure you're providing for your guests' needs to the best of your abilities. Send thank you notes. Whether or not you receive gifts from those in attendance, it's important to let them know you appreciated them taking time out of their schedules for your event. Use a guest sign in sheet or have someone at the door keeping track of who was in attendance. Then, send thank you notes. Thank you notes can be as simple as, “Thank you for attending my birthday party!” If you do receive a gift, make sure to include a specific reference within your note by saying something like, “Thank you so much for attending my graduation reception. I look forward to putting the pen set you gifted me to good use in my future career!” Like the invitations themselves, these can be digital or traditionally printed depending on your unique situation.

https://www.wikihow.com/Prune-a-Peach-Tree	How to Prune a Peach Tree	To prune your young peach tree, start by removing branches that are less than 15 inches from the ground. When pruning branches, try to cut as close to the trunk as possible. For mature trees, remove dead branches, suckers, or water shoots at any time of year. Then, choose 4-6 main branches to work with and cut off all the rest. Remove branches that grow horizontally or vertically as they're likely to break when bearing fruit. Finally, keep branches that grow at a 45 degree angle.	Prune your peach trees to help them grow. Pruning may seem counterintuitive, but is actually incredibly beneficial in aiding new growth on peach trees. Pruning your peach trees produces new growth, which in turn produces more fruit. Therefore, pruning yields a larger crop over time. Peach trees need to be open to sunlight, as shaded branches won't produce as much fruit. Pruning them opens up all branches to the sun. Removing dead parts of the tree is necessary so that new branches can come in. If you intend on spraying your tree with pesticides, pruning allows for an equal coverage over the entire plant. Know when to prune. The best time to prune your peach trees is early spring, after the last major cold snap of winter. Avoid pruning in very cold weather though, as this can reduce the trees' cold-hardiness and total output of fruit. The best month for pruning is typically February, but adjust this time based on your local weather. Prune older trees before younger ones to allow time for the new growth. Avoid pruning when the trees are blooming or shortly after blooming because this can negatively affect the new growth. Prune your peach trees at planting or at the next spring (if done in the fall). It is better to prune a little late in the year than a little early. Choose your pruning tools. Use pruning shears for smaller, more manageable branches. Remove large limbs with loppers or a pruning saw. Wound dressing is available to put on branches post-pruning, but has shown to have little to no effect in preventing fungal growth. Know how much to prune. When you are cutting back branches, it is best to follow the “cat tossing” rule. All the branches on your peach tree should be wide enough apart that a cat could be tossed between each of them without ever hitting a branch. A total height of 8–9 feet (2.4–2.7 m) is preferred when the tree is at its maturation. Prune the tree low to start, to encourage outward growth instead of upward. For big, full fruit, remove up to 90% of all developing fruit. A healthy tree will produce much more than it is capable of carrying and must have most of it removed for the best output. Prune at planting. As aforementioned, it is important to start the growth of your peach tree in the right direction by pruning at planting. If you plant in the fall, wait a few months till the next spring to prune. Prune so that the lowest branch is 15 inches (38.1 cm) from the ground. You don't want the branches to start much higher on the trunk, because as the tree matures it will grow too tall. The tallest branch should be about 30 inches (76.2 cm) from the ground total. Trim branches that are too long to meet this number. All branches should ideally grow at a 45-degree angle. If there are none near this measurement on your tree, prune all branches to a single bud and wait for more growth. Select scaffold limbs in the summer. Scaffold limbs are the largest branches on the tree, beginning at the trunk. To begin, choose 2-3 scaffold limbs, but this number may grow to 4-6 over time. Scaffold limbs should form a radial pattern from the trunk, each facing away in a different direction. Scaffold limbs will house the lateral (smaller outward growing) branches as the tree matures. Prune branches close to the trunk. You want to cut the branches near the trunk, offering only a small collar of growth to prevent decay in the branches. Make thinning cuts, or cuts that start at the origin of the branch, on trees younger than one year old. Heading cuts are used to remove parts of branches, rather than the entirety of the branch. Avoid doing this in a young tree though, to prevent unwanted suckers and water shoot growth near the top of the tree. Remove all dead and unhealthy growth. You can remove the following growth at any time of year: Dead or fungus-infected branches Suckers: the shoots that come up near the roots of the tree. Water shoots growing from the top branches Dried fruit from the previous year's harvest Shape and train your peach tree. This is the most important step in pruning, as it is responsible for the ultimate growth pattern and fruit production of the tree. You want to choose 4-6 primary branches to work with, and cut off all the rest. All the branches you cut should be growing up at a 45-degree angle. Any branches that grow vertically or horizontally need to be removed, as they are likely to break when the tree begins bearing fruit. Prune your tree in a V-shaped pattern. All branches should have the appearance of the letter “V.” Cut off any branches that cross over each other, since these block sunlight. The best shape for a peach tree is an open vase, with a clear center to maximize sun. Remove any branches on which the new growth is growing upwards above your head. This will make it difficult to pick the fruit. Prune your trees near the base of the branch. You want to cut the tree at the same angle of growth, about ¼ an inch from the lateral bud. Avoid cutting the branch at too steep an angle or too close to the collar at the base, as this opens it up for infection. For branches exceeding 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, use three cuts to aid in pruning. Make the first cut about halfway up the branch from the underside. Then, make a cut from the top down about one inch further. The weight of the branch will help the branch to break easily. Then, make your cut near the collar of the branch.

https://www.wikihow.com/Brush-Your-Dog-Without-Tickling-It	How to Brush Your Dog Without Tickling It	If your dog tends to get squirmy and ticklish when being brushed, make the brushing process easier by avoiding common ticklish areas, namely the feet, ears and tail. Additionally, pay attention to any other sensitive areas specific to your dog, especially around the stomach, lower back, and ribs. If your dog reacts to being brushed in a ticklish spot, don't scold or punish it, as this will just make it more frightened and confused. Instead, reward your dog with a treat when the brushing is done.	Accept your dog’s natural scratch reflex. Any time you touch a dog's sensitive areas, it creates a ticklish/itching sensation for the dog. This causes a reflexive response in which a dog will kick one or both of its hind legs. Your dog cannot control this reaction, much like how you cannot control the way your leg kicks when a doctor strikes your knee. You cannot train or punish this reaction out of your dog; you simply have to accept it and work around it when brushing. Identify your dog’s ticklish spots. While most dogs are ticklish in the chest, side, or belly areas, the exact spots will vary in each canine companion. (Think of how we humans have different ticklish spots as well.) If you have two dogs, maybe even sibling pups, one may have no problem having its belly brushed while the other flails around wildly at the slightest touch. Use trial-and-error to figure out where to brush and where to avoid (when possible). Give your dog gentle, playful pets and scratches up and down its body. Any areas that elicit a scratch reflex are probably too sensitive to brush unless absolutely necessary. Brush the saddle region carefully. Despite the variation in ticklish spots from dog to dog, the saddle region is a fairly common area for sensitivity. The saddle encompasses the stomach, lower back, and ribs. Any type of touch in this area may set off your dog's scratch reflex, including a light stroke. If you have to brush this area due to excessive dirt or tangles, do so quickly, gently, and carefully. Prepare for a reaction from your dog, and don't linger with the brush in that area. Don't admonish your dog for reacting; provide praise and a treat when you're done instead. Steer clear of ticklish feet, tails, and ears if you can. While not every dog will react the same way to having its ears, tail, or feet touched, these areas do tend to be sensitive to touch. When you begin to brush your dog's body, try to focus most of your brushing on less sensitive areas like the head and upper back. Generally speaking, these extremities aren't going to get too tangled in fur anyway, so just leave them alone if your dog is ticklish there. If they do need to be brushed and your dog is simply too sensitive, see a professional groomer. Show your dog the brushes. Some dogs, especially younger puppies and dogs that have not had much exposure to grooming, may be frightened of grooming tools. If this is the case, it can be helpful to let your dog sniff the brushes to see that they're nothing to be afraid of. Do not let your dog chew on the brushes. Some puppies may try, but this will set a bad precedent for future grooming sessions. Spray on a conditioning detangler. There are many different types of detanglers available for grooming a dog's coat. The best type of detangler includes a conditioner to soften the coat. You can even buy instant detangler that begins to work immediately upon application - simply spray the coat thoroughly and start untangling mats. Work out mats. Shedding blades and universal slicker brushes can help work out mats and remove loose fur, leaving your dog's coat thick with healthy fur. However, these brushes can be painful for the dog if you use it to brush the entire coat. Instead, use one of these specialized brushes to target problem areas in the coat where you notice clumps and tangles. Detangling before you brush can help prevent snags on your dog's coat. Be gentle as you work out the tangles and mats. Pulling too hard at a mat could hurt your dog's skin, which could potentially lead to an infection. Offer treats. Some dogs will be resistant to getting brushed, even if it does not tickle them. They may be frightened or confused about what's happening. If your dog struggles, offer treats to keep it calm and distracted. Choose special treats that you usually reserve for special occasions. For example, pieces of cooked chicken or turkey may distract your dog better than kibble. Brush from head to tail. It's generally best to brush with the grain of your dog's coat. The only exception is for thick outer coats that have a soft undercoat (like a sheepdog's coat), in which case you should brush with the grain on the outer coat and against the inner coat's grain. As you brush, start as close to the skin as possible without scratching your dog's skin, then work the brush outwards. Use gentle strokes. Being too firm with a brush can end up hurting your dog. See Groom a Dog for more detailed instructions and tips. Choose a detangler. You may need a detangler, depending on factors like the length of your dog's hair and the amount of time since you last brushed your pet. A thick coat full of mats will not be easy to brush, and it may cause the brush to get caught in your dog's coat. Use a spray-on detangler or grooming mist to loosen mats and soften your dog's coat. You can buy dog detanglers at most pet stores or through an online retailer. Get the right brush for your dog's coat. There are many different types of brushes available for dog grooming. The type you use for your pet will depend on its coat type and how long your dog's fur is. Short, smooth coats (hounds, retrievers) will need a soft or medium brush. Choose a brush with short bristles that are close together. Short, wiry coats (terriers) do best with a slicker brush or a firm bristled brush. If using a bristle brush, make sure the bristles are short and close together. Medium and long "flowing" coats (retrievers, spaniels) need either a wire-pin brush or a bristle brush with soft or medium bristles. If using a bristle brush, make sure the bristles are long and more spaced apart. Thick outer coats with a soft undercoat (sheepdogs, collies, shepherds) will require the use of a firm bristle or wire-pin brush with long, wide-spaced bristles. Use a slicker for tangles and mats. Decide where to brush your dog. When you brush your dog, you'll be pulling off a lot of loose fur and dander. Depending on how clean you want to keep your home, it may be easier to brush your dog outside. If you choose to groom your dog inside, you may want to put down a matt or some towels to make the cleanup easier.	Accept your dog’s natural scratch reflex. Identify your dog’s ticklish spots.
