If you have a siding that is especially dirty or moldy,

Inspect your siding to find areas that need more attention. Scrub off dirt with a cloth and a bristle brush. Scrub hard to reach areas with an outdoor cleaning wand. Clean tough stains with a wire brush. Rinse your siding with a hose or a bucket of water.

Take a walk around the house and look for parts of the siding that are especially dirty or moldy. Allocate more time for scrubbing these parts of your siding. Start by applying the cleaning solution to the affected area with the wet cloth. Then, you can scrub the area with a bristle brush or wire brush until it looks clean. If you need to scrub areas that are very high up, you can use an outdoor cleaning wand extension to your garden hose.  If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can attach a scrub brush to a broom stick or hockey stick. Attach the brush to the broom stick with a roll of duck-tape. If you don’t own a cleaning wand, you can also use a ladder. Follow the safety recommendations for your ladder and always have someone spotting you. Avoid using a ladder with a hose or hose attachments, since this can be very dangerous. If you have areas of your siding that are especially dirty or look moldy, you can use a wire brush.  Use a wire brush to clean tough mildew and stains on fiber cement siding.  Wear a mask while scrubbing away mold. After you have scrubbed off the dirt, grease, oil, and mold, you will want to remove the soap from the siding. You could spray down the freshly cleaned area with a garden hose or you could use a fresh sponge and a bucket of clean water.

Make a turmeric paste to try an ancient lightening treatment. Rub your skin with a raw potato to lighten age spots. Make a nighttime lemon juice rinse to exfoliate and lighten your skin. Use pure aloe vera to soothe and brighten your skin. Rinse your skin with green coconut water for a nourishing glow. Make a lemon, honey, and oatmeal mask for natural exfoliation. Soak your skin in yogurt or milk to brighten as you moisturize.

Turmeric is an Indian spice that has been used to lighten skin for many centuries. Mix turmeric powder with just enough olive oil to make a thick paste. Spread the turmeric paste in a thin layer over your skin. After about15- 20 minutes, rinse it away with warm water.  Turmeric contains curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and may help brighten your complexion.  It’s a good idea to wear old clothes when you make this paste, because the turmeric may stain your clothing. It may also temporarily stain your skin yellow, but this should wash away quickly. You can repeat this treatment once a day as often as you like. Cut a potato into slices, then sprinkle a little water over each slice. Rub the potato over your skin if you want all-over lightening, or place it on your skin and leave it there if you want to lighten a specific area, like an age spot. Either way, rinse your skin with warm water after about 10 minutes.  The starch and sugar in the potato will help exfoliate your skin, and the vitamin C, potassium, zinc, and other nutrients will help rejuvenate your skin, which can help it look lighter. Potatoes are mild enough that you can use them to lighten your skin every day. If you don’t have a potato on hand, try other fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, like tomato, cucumber, or blended papaya. Squeeze about 1 US tbsp (15 mL) into a bowl, then stir in 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of water. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and dab it onto the skin you want to lighten. After about 20 minutes, gently rinse it away with warm water, then pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply a facial moisturizer.  Repeat three times a week for the best results. Lemon juice acts as a natural exfoliant, taking off the surface layer of the skin to expose the lighter skin underneath. The citric acid in lemon juice also creates a light bleaching effect (just like it does when you put it in your hair). Lemon juice can dry out or irritate some people’s skin, and it can sometimes cause sensitivity to sunlight....

If you're a metalhead, you should know a few bands of every subgenre of metal.
If you're a metalhead, you should know a few bands of every subgenre of metal.
If you're a metalhead, you should know

Look at what you listen to daily. Know classic metal. Understand the sub-genres. Learn some metal facts. Welcome other tastes in music.

Make sure you actually listen to metal on a daily basis. Listening to a few metal songs at a friend's house or on a game doesn't make you a metalhead. If you use a software to play music, you can easily check what you’ve listened to by date and how many times you've listened to a song. You should have at least a couple tracks from a metal band in your recently played playlist. There are “godfathers” of metal that you should know, if you consider yourself a metalhead. There are also several bands that fall on the line of metal and classic rock. The reality of the situation is that genres are malleable and shouldn’t be taken as a strict label. Some of the classic rock/metal bands are Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden. Other classic metal bands are:  Metallica Megadeth Slayer Death Judas Priest Pantera Make sure you know a few bands of every subgenre of metal. Just a few major metal subgenres are thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal and speed metal. Some metalheads consider people who listen metalcore and claim to be metalheads are posers. Metalcore is a fusion genre of extreme metal and hardcore punk; with the latter genre being what stirs away many metal purists from engaging with metalcore.     Metalcore includes bands like Trivium, Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Poison The Well and Motionless In White. A list of a few bands and their respective subgenres are in the tips section. Know random trivia about bands like Motorhead, Metallica, Pantera, Death, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, and any other band you like. Statements like "Slipknot Sucks!" or "Metallica is the only good metal band" are typical statements from a metalhead poser. If you only like one band, you don't like metal thus you're not qualified to be a "Metalhead" but rather, you are a  "Bandhead".  However, there is one exception to this rule. If a person likes Metallica and has only listened to Metallica, then he or she can still be considered a genuine...

If you were not able to find a store-bought pad, that's okay. You probably have many things at home that can be used. You will want something thick and absorbent, something soft, and something to keep the pad in place.  You can use absorbent materials such as:  Gauze, cotton, other bandages (look in a first aid kit), clean worn-out clothes, and/or heavy-duty paper towels. Soft fabric materials: worn-out but clean clothes, such as a t-shirt or sock. Toilet paper or gauze can be used to keep the pad in place. Form the material you have chosen, turn it into a shape that will fit into your underwear (a rectangle or oval). Then, take your soft fabric and wrap it around your pad. Soft fabric will make your makeshift pad a little more comfortable.</ref>http://jezebel.com/5812246/diy-pad-crisis</ref> Take the makeshift pad and situate it just like you would with a store-bought pad. Use toilet paper or gauze to wrap around the pad and the crotch of your underwear, keeping it in place. Wrap it a few times to make sure it stays put. If your period is very light, or if you just want to buy some time, you can use a bit of toilet paper. Simply fold a long piece of toilet paper into a rectangle and place it in your underwear. You will want to check your pad regularly to be sure you are not leaking or bleeding through. A good rule of thumb is to check your pad every 45 minutes to an hour.

Get an object with which to spear the fish. Use twine, shoelaces, or other string to attach the sharp object to a stick or pole. Get used to light refraction. Find a fish in a relatively contained area. Aim and stab quickly.

Useful improvised items include: Pocket knives     Scrap metal, glass or hard plastic     Scissor blades    Alternately, sharpen the stick itself. Water distorts the position of underwater objects, making the fish seem closer than it actually is. Warm up your perception abilities by taking some practice stabs at rocks and debris to make sure you understand how much you must alter your aim to account for this discrepancy. Be aware that you will only get one opportunity to spear the fish successfully.

Look for an instructor. Decide how often to see an instructor. Practice.

This is the most costly, but also the most proficient way to learn music. A good instructor will not only have a proven track record of helping beginners learn music but also be able to teach you the basics correctly. Using an instructor helps you avoid bad habits that can take a long time to unlearn.  Review sight reading, fingering, and playing with an instructor. Ask the instructor to review where the notes are located on the staff and the piano. Because your goal is to teach yourself how to play, then you probably won't be visiting an instructor frequently. Go to an instructor once a month just to do a check-up on your progress or to ask questions about anything that is puzzling you. For instance, you might have questions about if you're playing a song in the correct tempo. Once again, you will need to practice a great deal in order to learn how to play. Many people that visit piano teachers practice several times a week. So, practice 2 to 3 times a week or every day if you like. Plan on practicing playing for at least 30 minutes 2 times a week, but you also will need to take time out to review your notes and sight reading abilities. You don't need a keyboard or a piano to practice reviewing your notes..

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewing tobacco harms the inner lining of your mouth, and can also cause cancer and other health problems. If you are undergoing chemotherapy, smoking is very likely to produce and mouth sores and make them far more painful and prone to infection.   Quitting tobacco can be very difficult, so talk to your doctor about a plan to help you quit. Your doctor can help provide you with things like the nicotine patch to slowly wean you off cigarettes. You should also ask friends and family members for support as you try to quit smoking. If you know anyone who smokes, ask that they not do so in front of you. Some foods can make mouth sores worse. Sharp foods, or very acidic foods, should be avoided if you want your mouth sores to heal properly.  Acidic and spicy foods tend to irritate the mouth, so stay away from things like citrus fruits and salsas. Sharp foods, and very crunchy foods, should also be avoided. Stay away from things like chips, pretzels, and crackers. Alcohol can irritate your mouth sores and make your symptoms more painful. Do not drink alcohol until your mouth sores are healed. There may be other risk factors associated with drinking alcohol when on chemo, so make sure to talk to your doctor about alcohol consumption. As with smoking, ask family members and friends for support when tapering off alcohol. Request that people not drink in front of you.

If you’re looking to get rid of roaches, you’ll need to know how to get rid of them. Roaches are attracted to a variety of things, including sugar, grease, and bacon. If you’re looking

Leave meats and bones out. Sprinkle sugar where you want roaches. Set out fruit rinds, peels, and cores. Use grease cans to attract roaches.

That rotisserie chicken carcass left over from dinner last night makes perfect roach bait. Leave out scraps of meat or bones that haven’t been picked clean in the areas where you want to attract roaches.  Remember that meat will rot, which will produce both strong smells and bacteria. Do not place it in areas where pets or children will be able to access it, and keep it out of spaces where the odor may become offensive. Place scraps in isolated areas such as cabinets, garages, or other spaces where it will be easy to round up your roaches. Cockroaches are particularly attracted to sugars and starches. Sprinkling some sugar around is a fast and easy way to get roaches where you want them.  A trail of sugar can be particularly helpful when you’re looking to bring roaches through an extended path, such as along the length of a garden or lawn. If you are looking to keep a roach problem under control, throw away any packages of sugar where you’ve found roaches. Be sure to seal any new packages in airtight containers. Fruits are a natural source of sugar, and can be just as helpful in attracting roaches as the kitchen staple. Use fruit scraps such as rinds, peels, cores, and other discarded bits to attract roaches. If you are looking to bring roaches into your yard or another outdoor space, you can bury fruit scraps just below the topsoil. This will attract roaches but keep decaying matter hidden from pets, children, and neighbors. The can you fill with your extra bacon grease and frying oil is fantastic roach food. Set out open grease cans in the area where you want roaches. As a bonus, the cans can double as a temporary housing environment for your insects.

Listen to uplifting music. Avoid jealousy or envy. Be grateful and/or thankful. Contemplate the source of your negative energy.

Listening to uplifting music is one sure-fire way to help free yourself of negative energy. Positive and uplifting music can help you get into a good frame of mind and energize you for any task or obstacle that you may need to face. Depending on your preferences, consider:  Music with positive lyrical messages. Music with a positive and upbeat rhythm. Music that gets you energized. One way to clear negative energy and promote positivity is to avoid jealousy or envy of others. Jealousy and envy are emotions that simply reinforce a negative outlook and lead us to ignore all of the wonderful things we have going on in our lives.  Be happy for what other people have, even if you don’t have the same. Wish others the best in achieving their goals. Avoid trying to emulate or compete with your friends and neighbors. Everyone is different and has different means, preferences, and goals. Often, people accumulate negative energy by being negative and unhappy about their place or position in life. One way to avoid this is to be grateful and/or thankful for what you do have.  Focus on the great things you have going on in your life. This could include your family, your friends, your job, or the place where you live. Realize that there are a lot of people who are much worse off than you. Understand that life is full of ups and downs, and you need to enjoy the ups. When trying to free yourself of negative energy, you should think about the source of your negative energy. Identifying the source of your energy may give you better insight into cleansing yourself of it.  Make a list of things that are bothering you or causing you anxiety. Think about bad things you’ve done in the past that might have attracted negative energy to you. Consider rectifying them. Examine your list and think about whether any of the listed items are making you unhappy. Commit yourself to solving whatever problem is causing you anxiety. Do some serious self-reflection to see if negativity or your actions or habits constantly draw negative energy to...

Check in with her a bit when you're apart. Be the last thing she thinks about at night. Give her something that reminds her of you. Write her a sweet note. Ask her questions to show an interest in her life. Treat her well when you're together. Leave your conversations on a good note.

If you want the girl to miss you when you're not together, then you have to remind her of your presence from time to time. Send her a text to say hi or to see how her day is going, or give her a quick call to tell her about what you've been up to. You can also send her an email from work or shoot her a quick text when you're away with your friend for the weekend. Make sure you talk to her just enough that she doesn't forget about you, but that she also doesn't feel smothered by you, either.  If you're apart, make sure you're not always the one getting in touch first. You can call or text her from time to time, but you shouldn't make her take you for granted and feel like you'll always call even if she doesn't. If you know she has something important coming up, such as a job interview or a volleyball game, then check in with her to wish her luck. If it just happened, check in to see how it went. This will show her that you care and that you are paying attention, even if you're not always around. One trick to getting the girl to miss you is to make sure you're on her mind as she's getting ready for bed. You can send her a sweet text or plan your phone calls so you talk to her later in the evening, so she thinks of you as she goes to bed and maybe even dreams about you. She also may wake up thinking about the great conversation you had—and will miss you even more as a result.  Talking to her before she gets ready for bed will give you a better chance of really capturing her attention. She'll be winding down and will be able to focus on you more easily instead of talking to you while having a million other things going on at the same time. Of course, make sure it's okay for her to talk on the phone late at night—you don't want her to get in trouble with her parents. Another way to make sure that the girl misses you is to give her something that makes it so you're never far from her mind. It can be a necklace you gave her for her birthday, a letter you wrote to her, a sweatshirt that smells like you that you let...

Ask your doctor for prescription pain medication. Get steroid injections. Discuss antidepressants and anti-seizure medication with your doctor. Look for a surgeon with experience in spinal surgery. Find out the risks of surgery. Get a laminectomy or a laminotomy to ease the pressure on your spinal nerves. Consider a spinal fusion to stabilize your spine. Recover for several months to 1 year after surgery.

Your doctor can prescribe medication, such as high-dose NSAIDS or opioids, for short-term pain relief. Do not use opioids long-term, as they can be addicting. Follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage and never take more than the recommended amount.  Your doctor can tell you how long you can take opioids to treat your spinal condition. They may gradually reduce your dosage over time, depending on how you are feeling. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can help manage day-to-day pain. Discuss which medication is right for your condition with your doctor. Due to certain risk factors, not everyone is a candidate for pain medication. Your doctor can give you steroid injections in your spine to help reduce irritation and swelling. They will inject spots on your spine that are being pinched due to your spinal stenosis. These injections can be done in your doctor’s office and provide temporary pain relief. Over time, steroid injections can weaken your bones and connective tissue. They should only be given a few times a year at most. Chronic pain caused by your spinal condition can be treated with nightly doses of antidepressants like amitriptyline. Your doctor may also prescribe anti-seizure drugs like gabapentin and pregabalin to reduce your pain.  Always follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage. Do not exceed the recommended amount. This medication can be addicting so you should only use it as a temporary solution for managing your pain. Your doctor will outline how long you can be on these medications and will reduce your dosage over time. Surgery for spinal stenosis is usually done if other options are not working or your condition has become severe. Ask your primary care doctor for recommendations on a surgeon. Make sure you are have a consultation with the surgeon before the surgery so you are aware of your options. You should feel you can trust the surgeon and their team, as spinal surgery can be very invasive. Most spinal surgeries result in fewer complications when they are performed by a skilled,...

Cut out a rectangle of fabric, and then cut out a drawstring.
This is a very simple project, but it's a great way to make a bag. You can make a bigger/smaller bag if you want to, but keep the proportions the same.
This is a very simple project, but

Cut a 10 by 20 in (25 by 51 cm) rectangle out of fabric. Cut a 20 in (51 cm) long piece of ribbon or string.

Choose a durable fabric, such as cotton, linen, canvas, or jersey. Use a tailor's chalk or pen and a ruler to draw a 10 by 20 in (25 by 51 cm) rectangle on the back of the fabric. Cut the fabric out with fabric scissors.  The fabric can be solid colored or it can have a print on it. This pattern already includes seam allowances, so you don't need to add more. You can make a bigger/smaller bag if you want to, but keep the proportions the same. Make it twice as long as it is wide. Choose a piece of ribbon or string that is no more than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) wide. Measure out 20 inches (51 cm), then cut it. This will make the drawstring that will open and close your bag.  Match the color to your bag, or use a contrasting color. For example, if you have a blue canvas bag, a thin, white rope would look nice. If your ribbon or string is made from polyester, singe the cut ends with a flame to prevent unraveling. If your ribbon or string is not made from polyester, seal the cut ends with fabric glue or fray-check. Let the ends dry before moving on.

Set up an easy-to-clean workspace. Start with the outer leaves. Uncover the ear’s tip. Gather the tops and tassel in one hand. Pull them down in one move. Remove the leaves. Peel off any remaining silk.

Expect shucking corn to get a little messy. At the very least, have a bag handy to throw away the husk’s leaves and silken strands as you work. To make life even easier, line a trashcan or similar container with a bag so you can work over that, or even inside of it. Alternatively, you can also line your kitchen counter with paper or other compostable material if you want to compost the leaves and silk. This way you can easily ball up the whole bundle when you’re done. Give the husk a quick look-over and find whichever leaf seems to be the outermost. Strip that off and continue peeling away the outer leaves as you work your way inward. Stop once the ear seems to be covered by only one layer of remaining leaves. The last layer should be a little translucent, so once you can see the kernels through the leaves, you should be there. Pull the tops of the remaining leaves away from the ear’s top. Stop peeling once you’ve exposed three or four rows of kernels. However, as you peel the leaves back, remember: The aim is to rip off all the leaves at once, in one move. So don’t peel the tops away from the ear in a way that would make it difficult to hold them all in one hand. The “tassel” is the bunched-up ends of all the silken strands inside. Gather this as well as the tops of the inner leaves in your dominant hand. Use your other hand to clutch the ear by its bottom. If you’re unable to grab them all in one hand, don’t worry. As long as you have most of the leaves and tassel in hand, the other leaf or leaves may still come off with them. Hold the ear vertically with its tip at the top. Then, with the leaves’ tops and the silk tassel in one hand, give them a hard yank down the length of the ear to where your other hand is. This should strip the whole ear, but if you weren’t able to get all the leaves’ tops in one hand, just repeat with any leaf that didn’t come off with the others. Your corn should now resemble a rocketship, with the ear as the rocket pointing in one direction, and the leaves and silk as its flames...

Cleaning and lubricating bearings is important, but without proper lubrication, the bearings still won’t work quite right.
The bearings are the heart of your skateboard, and they’re the only thing that keeps the wheels turning. If you’re not careful, you can end up with

Wipe dirt and buildup off of the bearings. Pop the rubber guards off. Soak the bearings in bearing solvent. Shake the bearings around in the jar. Remove the bearings from the jar and dry them off. Spray or wipe the bearings with lubricant. Pop the rubber guards back on and put the bearings back in the wheels.

Take a paper towel or old rag and dampen it with water. Wipe the bearing down, removing any visible debris from the bearing. If you didn’t notice any problem with the functioning of the bearings, a quick wipe might be sufficient cleaning. Use a small screwdriver, paper clip, or razor blade to pop the guards off. Slide the tool under the rubber guard and gently pry it off. Be careful not to slice the rubber guard or damage the rest of the bearing in the process.  It’s not absolutely necessary to remove the guard, but you can clean the bearing more thoroughly if you do. Some bearings have more than one guard that you must remove before exposing the bearing balls. Put the bearings into a glass jar, and fill it half-full with a bearing-specific solvent bought at your local skate shop. If you don’t have this, high-purity rubbing alcohol, carburetor cleaner, or lemon juice all work fairly well. Let the bearings sit for about 10 minutes, depending on how dirty they are. If your bearings are significantly rusty, it may be best to buy new ones rather than simply cleaning the ones you have. Cleaning and lubricating the bearings may be enough to get them functioning again. After the bearings soak in the fluid, swirl them around in the jar to further loosen any debris or buildup in the bearings. You may see lots of dirt that has already been removed, but a quick swirl helps finish off the cleaning. Swirl the jar for about one minute. Dump the cleaner out of the jar and lay the bearings out on a towel. One by one, wipe them with the towel and dry them as much as possible. Move the balls around in the track to dry all sides. You won’t get the bearings totally dry, but get them as dry as possible. For a more complete drying, use a hair dryer or fan to evaporate all of the moisture. Before you put the rubber guards back on, lubricate the bearing balls. Cleaning is important, but without proper lubrication, the bearings still won’t work quite right.

Measure the width of every door you will install stripping on. Add up the width of all the doors you measured. Add another 5-10% to factor in waste. Measure the height of the gap under your door. Make a note of your measurements.

If multiple doors need new stripping, take the measurements for all of them. You can do this by using a tape measure across the width of the bottom of the door. Write down your measurements. Remember, you are measuring the door itself, not the width of the doorway. Once you have measured every door you plan to buy new stripping for, add up all the measurements you took. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. It’s always better to have too much than to have to go back to the store and buy more. Multiply the total width of all your doors by 1.05 or 1.1. This is how much you will buy from the store. For instance, if you measure all the doors you’re buying stripping for and their combined width is 108 inches (270 cm), you should multiply this number by at least 1.05, which would be 113.4 inches (288 cm). This is especially important if you are using a different type of stripping than you had before. You want to make sure the product you buy will be large enough to fill the gap but not so large that you can’t close the door easily. Check your math a few times to make sure it’s correct. Then make a note of the number you came up with, so you will remember when you get to the store.

Drill a hole in the center of the rose with an electric drill and bit. The electrician can tell you how big the hole in the center must be. Use a 120-grit sandpaper pad and hand sander. The sanding process will scuff the ceiling so that it adheres more fully to the surface of the ceiling. Always wear a ventilation mask when sanding. Set up your ladder. Have someone hold the ceiling rose in the position you desire, and then outline the area with a pencil.  Remove the rose, so that you can apply the glue. You may need to set up two ladders so that both the person holding and the person outlining can access the ceiling rose. You can draw small perpendicular lines outside where the rose is to use as guidelines.

Gather blankets and warm clothing. Locate your first aid kit. Get your hands on a camping stove or grill. Find some matches. Ensure you have a phone you can use. Stock up on diapers, formula, and baby food. Get a refill on your prescription medications. Consider investing in a battery-operated radio.

Get a quality snow shovel so you can dig yourself out if need be. You may also need to shovel to dig your car out once the storm is over.  Try the shovel out before you buy it. Check that you can use it comfortable, especially if you have physical challenges. Consider getting a small snow shovel to dig snow out of smaller corners. Rock salt is not an effective snow melter. While it can melt snow, a shovel will move much more snow quickly.  Rock salt and other ice melt treatments are meant for ice, and not effective for snow. If you need to remove snow do so physically. Rock salt and other ice melters can be devastating for your local water and soil, as well as your vehicles and sidewalk. If you must use chemical treatments on paved surfaces, use it only when necessary and only where needed. Put fresh batteries in your lamps and flashlights if a storm is coming. Go for a model that can power your cell phone if you can. You can even make a homemade flashlight. In case your flashlight suddenly gives out or you run out of batteries, you can light your home the old-fashioned way.  LED candles and lanterns are a safer alternative to traditional candles. Fire from candles during a blackout is a real risk, especially with small children. If you use candles, put them in safe holders. Keep them away from anything flammable never leave them unattended; and put them out before going to bed. Stock up on canned soups and vegetables, powdered food, and grains like rice and pasta. Make sure you have enough to last your family at least three or four days. Find a hand-operated can-opener too.  Eat the perishable food first. The non-perishable items are for eating if there is a prolonged emergency. The perishables should be used up first. Cook meats ahead of time to make them safer if the power goes up. Uncooked hamburger meat is dangerous within hours, but cooked may be safe for quite some time.

Familiarize yourself with the requirements of your state for becoming a teacher. Take the certification exam in the state where you want to be a teacher. Look for jobs as a teacher. Prepare your application. Sign up to substitute teach if you are not hired as a regular teacher.

To begin, most require a B.A. in education with some focus on health, while others provide more leeway in your choice of major. Almost all states have professional development requirements that you are expected to complete in your first years as a teacher. All states have different requirements, so be familiar with what your state wants. Study hard for these exams -- they are what will allow you to become a certified teacher. Get a sense of what different districts want. Since health teachers typically teach other things as well, determine whether you are prepared to apply for these positions. Your ability to get a job immediately after becoming certified will depend upon the state or region in which you live. Most states will ask for a typical resume -- make sure yours is strong. Some larger districts might also ask for extra essay questions that deal with your philosophy of teaching or why you wanted to become a teacher. Substitute teaching can allow you to get a variety of experiences as you continue to look for full-time positions. Make contact with teachers in different districts as you go through the job search.

Steam cleaners are great for cleaning upholstery, but they are not the best for cleaning carpets

Pick the right steam cleaner. Prepare the steam cleaning machine. Start with the cushions. Steam clean the rest. Let your furniture dry.

There are many kinds of steam cleaners. They are typically divided by the kinds of materials that they can steam clean. The best steam cleaners for upholstery are upholstery steam cleaners, fabric steam cleaners, and handheld steam cleaners. The upholstery steam cleaner is made specifically for the job, fabric steam cleaners are made to clean fabric, and handheld cleaners are great for small, tight surfaces. The cleaners should either be handheld or have detachable wands or hoses. Pick which one you think will work better on your particular surface.  You want to avoid that large carpet steam cleaners. Those are too bulky and don't typically have fabric cleaning attachments. They will not work at all on your upholstery.  If you don't want to buy a steam cleaner of your own, you can rent one from many department, hardware, and grocery stores. To use a steam cleaner, you need to add water and cleaner to the machine. This will vary depending on the machine you have, so follow the directions based on the model that you have. Generally, you will remove a container from the steam cleaner and fill it with warm water and upholstery cleaner. Make sure you don't fill it too full. It can cause too much water and steam to be released on your fabrics, which will over saturate them. You will also need to add the correct attachment for upholstery. This may be a stationary brush, revolving brush, or a cloth, depending on the model you have. Avoid mixing too much soap into the water. It is much easier to wash an area a few times than it is to have to wash excess soap out of the fabric. If the piece of furniture that you are steam cleaning has removable pillows, such as a couch or chair, start cleaning them. Plug up the machine and turn it on. Take the handheld steam cleaner or the hose and attachment and spray the surface with the steam. There should be a button that releases the steam onto the fabric. This will wet the fabric once the steam hits it. Promptly drag the opening of the machine over the damp areas, sucking up the...

Clean your ears out with hydrogen peroxide. Apply ear drying drops to your ears. Blow your ear with a hairdryer. Dry your outer ears with a towel after swimming and showering. Avoid using cotton swabs or tissues in your ears.

Fill half of an ear dropper with hydrogen peroxide. Turn your head so that the affected ear is on top. Drop the hydrogen peroxide into the ear. Once the crackling noise stops (usually within 5 minutes), tilt your head so that your affected ear faces down. Tug on the earlobe to help the ear drain. You can buy these over-the-counter at pharmacies and grocery stores. The solution will usually come with an ear dropper, but they are typically available for purchase at pharmacies if not. Alternatively, you can make your own drying drops with equal parts white vinegar and isopropyl alcohol. Turn the hairdryer onto its lowest heat and fan setting. Set the blow-dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) from your ear. Let the cool air blow into your ear.  The air can help dry up some of the fluid that is caught in the ear. Don’t put the towel inside of your ear. Just wipe off the water on the outside to prevent more fluid from building up in your ears. These can irritate and scratch your ears, increasing your chances of getting an infection. Instead, if you can’t dislodge the water on your own, see a doctor for help.

Introduce active reading. Read with a purpose. Mark the text. Make connections. Summarize.

Active reading is an important first step to having good study skills. Active reading is a way to read that makes you interact with the text. In active reading, you don’t just hear the words in your mind as you go and then they disappear. Active reading is crucial to understanding new material when there is reading assigned. The following steps outline how to teach active reading. Students should have a mission when they read. If you are the teacher, tell them what to look for. If you aren’t the teacher, tell them to find out from the teacher what they’re supposed to be looking for or figuring out while reading.  For older students, the purpose may be left up to them to determine. Have them determine what the purpose for the reading is before they begin. Older students may base their purpose for reading around assessments, such as a paper they have to write or a test. Direct them to look at upcoming assessments to see if they can determine a focused purpose for reading. If they are allowed to (some public schools don’t allow writing in the textbooks), students should highlight or circle and underline phrases and words that stand out to them and write questions and notes in the margins. A way for students to be able to mark the text without marking up public textbooks are to make photocopies of stories or sections of the text. This is similar to the strategy in the previewing step. Teach students to make connections between the text and themselves (This reminds me of the time that I…), or the text and another text (This reminds me of this other book…), or between the text and the world (This sounds like what happens when…). Making connections is extremely important for long-term remembering of what is read in a text. After reading, students should ask themselves, what’s the gist of what I read? Have them jot down notes of the most important parts of what they read, such as the main idea and some supporting details.

Make your T-shirts as compact as possible. Fold polo shirts lengthwise to store them. Fold tank tops into a small square. Keep your dress wrinkle-free by folding it into a rectangle. Tuck in the sleeves when folding a long-sleeve shirt. Fold sweaters in half after tucking in the sleeves.

Place your garment facedown, and bring the left half of the T-shirt to the center. Flip the short sleeve so that it faces the outer edge of the shirt. Repeat this with the right half of the garment before tucking the curved neckline into the shirt to create a rectangular shape. Fold the shirt once more to get it ready for storage.  Stick to simple folds. While complex folds might be able to save you a little more space, they are more time-consuming to do and can make it hard to distinguish your shirts from one another.  Once you’ve folded your shirt, you can keep it upright in your dresser or wardrobe drawer. This type of folding also comes handy when you want to fold T-shirts for travel since it can help you maximize space in your suitcase. If the T-shirt is on the larger side, consider folding it in thirds instead of halves. Place the shirt facedown on a flat surface and check that the shirt is completely buttoned before continuing. Tuck the sleeves into the center of the back, and fold the shirt in half so that the shoulders are touching. Complete the fold by bringing the bottom hem of the shirt to meet the collar. This method also works for dress shirts, or any shirt with buttons. Set the tank top facedown on a flat surface before folding it in half lengthwise, making the garment look like a narrow rectangle. Next, fold the tank top in half again so that it forms a square. Store the tank top in a dresser, or in any place where it will fit. If your tank top has thinner straps, tuck them beneath the shirt. Set your dress on a flat, smooth surface and brush out any obvious wrinkles from the garment. Fold the dress in half lengthwise and tuck a third of the skirt into the dress, making the garment look like a rectangle. Repeat this process on the opposite side of the skirt before folding it in half or in thirds.  Smaller dresses can be folded in half, while larger dresses should be folded in thirds. If your dress is especially fancy, consider hanging it up instead of folding it. Set your shirt facedown on a...

Pick up those watercolors. Write a short story. Plan a trip to Mombasa. Have dinner with a family member. Start cracking jokes. Open up. Tell the truth. Whatever it is that you've decided you want to be or do, start being and doing it now.  You may shake your head and come up with excuses such as "no time," "no money," "family responsibilities," etc. Instead of using these as excuses, start planning around the hurdles in your life. You can free up time, find money, and get a break from duties if you make time how to plan and find the courage to ask for these things. Sometimes, the real you is too afraid to face the practicalities because it'd mean facing up to what you've limited yourself by. Start planning what you really want to do and investigating what needs to be done to get you to that point instead of flinging excuses at them, stopping the goals and dreams dead in their tracks. Finding yourself is a journey, not a destination. A lot of it is trial and error. That's the price you pay in return for the satisfaction you receive: More often than not, you hit a bump in the road, and sometimes you fall flat on your face. Be prepared to understand and accept that this is a part of the process, and commit to getting right back up and starting over. It's not going to be easy — it never has been for anybody — but if you learn to see that as a chance to prove how much you want to find yourself, then you'll find fulfillment and security in your pursuit. When you know yourself, most people will respect you more and treat you kindly. Best of all, your light will shine on both you and others, making them (and you) feel even more certain about your sense of self. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

Pick a genre for your writing. Choose an overarching theme for your flash fiction story. Create an interesting and flawed protagonist. Choose an antagonist that your main character needs to overcome.

Flash fiction can be in any genre you’d like, but popular genres to choose from include romance, thriller, horror, and science fiction. Each genre has its own tropes to help you shape a unique story. Brainstorm the type of narrative you’d like to write and like to read so you can start thinking of ideas.  If you like to write suspenseful stories, try doing a thriller or horror flash fiction piece. For stories that take place in the future or have advanced technology, write science fiction. If you want to focus on a relationship, consider writing romantic flash fiction. The theme is the main moral argument of your story and the message you want to leave with your readers. Some common themes you can use for your flash fiction include love, family, death, and power. Write down what themes you may want to use for your story so you can use them to influence your character and plot. For example, if you want your theme to be love and sacrifice, you may choose to write a story about someone who works all the time just to earn money for someone they care about. Your main character needs to have a motivation and goals in order to progress through your writing. Make their motivations believable so your readers can relate to them easily. Give your protagonist some flaws so they aren’t perfect and have difficulty achieving their goals. Only focus on 1 character since your flash fiction piece needs to be short.  For example, your protagonist’s goal may be to find sunken treasure, but they’re afraid of the ocean. Only give your character 1 goal for your flash fiction or else your piece could get too long or complicated. The antagonist is the main force fighting against your main character. Your antagonist could be another character, something in nature, or even an internal struggle. Make sure your antagonist directly affects your protagonist and the outcome of your story.  For example, your protagonist could be someone stuck in the forest and your antagonist could be a wolf trying to hunt them. Combine an internal struggle...

Laughing together is a great way to connect with your girlfriend and help her feel more comfortable around you. Find jokes online, or develop your own list. Even better, make some inside jokes that only you two will understand.  Be silly together. Do impressions of celebrities, playact scenes you experienced together that day, or come up with your own silly words and inside jokes. Play harmless practical jokes. If she doesn't like jokes, then ease up on her, or play a joke on someone else together. This includes washing your clothes, brushing your teeth, flossing, and using mouthwash.

If she tells you that she prefers one scent to another, use that one when you are getting ready. Wash your hair regularly and let her play with it. This can be a fun, flirty way for her to touch you, if you’re both comfortable with that. Make your best effort to look clean and put together.

If you're looking for a shower curtain, you can't go wrong with a cotton shower curtain. If you're looking for a shower curtain that's more environmentally friendly, you can't go wrong with a microfiber shower curtain. If you're looking for a shower curtain that's more durable, you can't go

Opt for cotton when possible. Try vinyl for a cheap, low-maintenance option. Go for an organic option. Think about microfiber curtains. Select a solid liner material.

While it's more expensive, cotton is generally a solid choice for a shower curtain. Cotton curtains tend to hold up best and are also easiest to wash. They can also give your bathroom a dressier feel.  Cotton absorbs moisture easily. If you get a cotton curtain, make sure you get a quality liner to go with it. Keep in mind that a cotton shower curtain will need to be washed once a month to stay nice and clean. If you don't want to spend a lot of time maintaining a shower curtain, vinyl curtains can be a great option. They can be cleaned and come in a variety of colors, making coordinating them with other bathroom decor simple.  In addition to vinyl, you can try synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester. Because vinyl shower curtains are cheaper, they're great if you plan on switching up your bathroom decor frequently. If you're environmentally conscious, you may want a curtain that reflects these values. Look for curtains made of environmentally friendly materials, such as hemp, if you want a curtain that minimizes use of chemicals and artificial materials. Keep in mind, organic curtains may be more expensive and more difficult to maintain. Microfiber curtains are more moisture-resistant than cotton curtains but softer than things like vinyl and polyester. Such curtains are heavier, so they may work well if your bathroom has heavy water pressure. They are also machine washable, which can cut down on cleaning time. Since microfiber curtains are heavier, you'll want to make sure your curtain rod is sturdy enough to hold one up. Almost all shower curtains will require some kind of curtain liner. Take this into consideration as well. You want to choose a solid liner that will protect your curtains from moisture.  Go for curtains that are clear or light. These allow more light in the shower. Most liners are made out of vinyl. If you're environmentally conscious, it may be difficult to find an alternative. However, if it's important to you, try to seek out non-vinyl liners in a store or online, but keep in...

Maintain adequate space between pommel. Measure saddletree size and shape on Western saddles. Check for tightness on English saddle. Gauge appropriate saddle size. Buy a saddle that fits your horse's build. Observe your horse’s response to the saddle.

On both English and western saddles, you’ll need to make sure there is enough space between the arched front portion of the saddle, pommel, and the withers. With someone in the saddle, place three fingers vertically between the saddle and withers. If you can do this comfortably, the saddle fits well. If it’s a tight squeeze or your fingers don’t fit at all, the saddle is too tight. For the English saddle, have a helper move the horse’s foreleg while your fingers remain between the withers and pommel to ensure the saddle isn’t impeding shoulder movement. This is the underlying support that determines the basic shape of the saddle. If you have a very large or very small horse, you may struggle to find a saddletree that fits just right, but checking for it is simple. With a rider in the saddle, place three fingers horizontally between the horses’ shoulder and the saddle on both sides. Just like with the pommel, this is a quick and easy way to gauge whether or not the saddle size and shape fits your horse. Stand at the back of your horse, and look at the saddle without a rider seated. With the horse’s head down, you should be able to see light. If you can’t see light, the saddle is too tight. This light check lets you know your horse’s saddle is snug but not tight. It’s important to make sure you fit in your saddle. The shape and length of the saddle should accommodate you comfortably. Otherwise, you may not want to ride as often. In English saddles you should have four inches of saddle in front and behind your body. Western saddles have four inches in front with your backside rested against the cantle, raised back portion at the back of saddle. You shouldn’t feel pressed against the cantle to achieve the four inches of space in the front of the saddle. Ensure western saddles fit with your saddle pad by trying it on your horse. Western saddles need to have about an inch of padding between saddle and horse. In many cases, you may need to purchase an extended cinch to accommodate the added padding. Saddles are...

Create a ceramic mold (optional). Clean the bottle and remove the label. Apply devitrification spray (optional). Add a wire hanger (optional). Prevent the bottles from rolling.

If you prefer the bottle to form a curved taco shell shape instead of a flat tray, press the bottle into clay to form a mold. All molds should be protected by kiln wash or glass separator, as described in the kiln setup section. Use clay intended to be fired around 1500ºF (815ºC), or it may melt during firing. Scrub the bottles with hot, soapy water, or leave them in a bucket of hot water and household detergent for a few hours. Scrub off any paper labels and stickers, or scrape them off using a hard plastic object. Alternatively, if you want to save and reattach a paper label, melt the adhesive using a heat gun.  Painted labels will survive the firing process, which makes a great design as long as the bottle remains still during firing. To avoid the chance of fingerprint impressions, wear gloves and clean afterward with isopropyl alcohol. Also called "devit," this product actually prevents devitrification, or the crystallization of glass that causes a cloudy appearance. Not all types of glass are susceptible to devitrification, and cleaning the glass helps a great deal already. Use the spray when you want to be extra careful, especially for blue and amber bottles. If you'd like to hang the flattened bottle afterward, shape a length of wire into a hook and place one end into the neck of the bottle. The bottle will slump closed around the wire, so there's no need to attach it yourself. High temperature wire is best. Most common wires will work, but aluminum will melt and copper and brass can leave flecks on the bottle. Place the bottles or the molds containing bottles onto your kiln shelf, lying on their side. If they are in danger of rolling, prop them up using crushed glass (frit) or small rolls of kiln paper. This will create an impression on the back of the bottle, but that's much better than having a bottle roll to the side and damage your kiln wall. Take extra care to keep bottles with painted labels still.

Recognize general Simmental coloration. Identify Fleckvieh-Simmental cattle. Recognize modern Simmental cattle. Identify Fullblood or Straightbred Simmental cattle.

Most Simmental cattle have a white face with a brownish-red body.  Other Simmental cattle will be lighter in color, while some will be all black, and others mostly brown or mostly red.  Some that are otherwise all black or all red will have a white face.  In the U.S., where certain traits have continuously been selected for, Simmental are characterized by a wider range of color patterns. While American Simmental are mostly black, they may actually be any color or color pattern – from all black, to spotted or patchy, to all white. European Simmental are red or yellow with lots of white. All Simmental start life as greyish calves with shades of red and yellow hair. Pigmentation around the eyes, as well as the udder and scrotum, are common, especially in the U.S. Nearly all Simmental cattle will have ears that are the same color as their body. Flechvieh-Simmental cattle will range in color from a light buckskin-yellow to a brownish-red.  They will have a white face that almost always has a border line just before the jawline, and a white underbelly.  Some may have a patch over each eye; others may have one patch over one eye. White will likely show on the flank and elbows, sometimes forming a stripe from behind the elbows or from the flank all the way up to the topline. They will have a lot of white on their belly and legs. The tail of a Simmental-Fleckvieh will usually be all white or white half-way down. Simmental cattle do not have a white stripe down the nape of their necks, nor white dewlaps.  If these are present, the cattle are likely Hereford. Some more modern breeds of Simmental will have less white markings and will be mostly darker brownish-red to black.  If they do have some white, it will likely be lower on the leg.  White faces are common in modern Simmental, though they may have different colored eye patches and less white overall. Some Modern Simmental cattle may still have a recognizable white stripe from the shoulder down to the elbows, or from the top of the loins to the flanks. These will...

Donkeys are a great choice for first

Pick a donkey of the right size, sex and temperament. Make sure the donkey has basic training. Keep more than one donkey if you can. Be gentle with your donkey. Let your donkey exercise every day.

When you're picking out a donkey, it's important to take these factors into consideration. Male and female donkeys have different temperaments, and there are miniature, standard and giant-sized donkeys which are as big as standard horses. Figure out which type is the right fit for your needs before you decide which one to bring home.  If you plan to keep your donkey as a pet, choose a gelding (a castrated male) or a jenny (a female). If you plan to breed your donkey, you'll need a jack (an intact male) and one or more jennies. Don't get a jack if you just want a pet and don't keep a jack with other male donkeys, since they'll fight. If you plan to ride your donkey, make sure it's big enough to handle your weight. A donkey can safely carry 20% of its body weight. Also, just like mule, horse or camel, make sure they are not sick or injured, because this could make it worse If you plan to use your donkey as a guard animal against predators, such as wolves or dogs, choose a standard or giant donkey, not a miniature. It's important that the donkey be larger than the predator. If this is your first time handling a donkey, you'll want to choose one who already knows how to stand and walk on a lead without bolting. You may also want to make sure the donkey can handle being petted all over its body and will allow you to lift its feet without trouble. Donkeys can be a little tricky to train, so unless you're experienced with them, it's a good idea to choose one that is fairly well behaved or find a friend to help you. Donkeys are extremely social creatures and they get sad when they're left all alone in the pasture. Your donkey will be a lot happier with a companion. Two jennies, two geldings or a jenny and a gelding make good companions for each other. Donkeys will bond deeply with their companions for life, and they won't want to go anywhere without each other.   Donkeys can bond with horses but if you ever plan to take the horse somewhere without the donkey, it's not advisable to allow them to create a deep bond....

Give everyone a turn to speak. Be aware of how you react to each student. Find something to praise in everyone. Make sure you grade fairly. Know that treating students fairly doesn’t always mean treating them equally. Avoid playing favorites.

If you want to be a fair teacher, then you have to make it clear that you respect the opinions of ideas of all of your students. If you only call on the same three students or dismiss the comments of a student who is struggling more than the rest, then you may develop a reputation of not being fair. If you don’t let students who are more shy or more problematic have a turn at speaking, then they’ll be discouraged from participating in your class, because they won’t feel that you’re treating them fairly.  Keep in mind that allowing a diverse range of opinions into your classroom also makes for a better learning experience for all students, even the ones who don’t contribute much. It’s not fair to let only a few of your favorite students express themselves. Practice calling on students who haven’t raised their hands and asking what they think. Though you should proceed with caution with students who are more reserved, setting this standard can make students feel more accountable in the classroom. You may think that you’re fair in the classroom, but when you take a step back, you may see that you don’t react fairly to every student. Ideally, you should be receptive to what every student has to say, pause to wait for an answer from every student, and give positive feedback and encouragement to all of your students. When you go home, ask yourself how you reacted to each student and see if there’s anything you could have done that was more fair. You can even ask another teacher to observe you to give you honest feedback. You may find that you’re spending twice as much time with some students and are neglecting others. Though some students do need more help than others, it’s only fair to give all students some of your time and attention. If you really want to be fair, then you have to learn to see the good in each and every student. You may have a student who does so poorly in the classroom that you may feel like all you can do is offer criticism, but you should work extra hard to find something to praise about that...

Peer pressure is a common problem that can affect people of all ages. It can be difficult to deal with the feelings that come from peer pressure. You might be good friends with someone, then feel betrayed when they try to pressure you to do something. You might even wonder if the friendship is over or needs to end.

Journal about your feelings. Choose a different friend group. Keep busy with healthy activities.

It can be difficult to deal with the feelings that come from peer pressure. You might be good friends with someone, then feel betrayed when they try to pressure you to do something. You might even wonder if the friendship is over or needs to end. Dealing with these emotions can be hard, so use a journal to sort out your feelings and help you cope with the stress.  Your journal should be a safe place to write out your thoughts and feelings. Be honest with yourself as you write. You might want to reflect on your journal entries at times to see how you’ve dealt with things in the past and what was helpful before. Think about your good interactions with them versus your bad interactions. If you feel like they pressure you much more than you’d like or they won’t stop, make some new friends. While it’s hard to say goodbye to friends, it might be harder to keep saying "no" to peer pressure and deal with how it makes you feel.  You can meet people by volunteering or attending karate, dance, or other classes. If you are still in school, audition for a play, try out for sports team, or join a club. Pick something that your current group of friends isn't involved in. Another way to avoid peer pressure is to spend your time doing activities that you really enjoy. Doing activities can help you meet other people with shared interests and help you spend your time doing what you enjoy.  Try different activities until you find one you like. For example, try a sewing or woodworking class, pick up photography, go hiking, or get a bike. See what clubs are available at school, like drama club, math team, and Big Brothers and Big Sisters. You can also join a sport like soccer, track, gymnastics, or volleyball.

Write your introductory remarks. Introduce your actors, places, and things. Identify your disputes. Tell your story. Discuss your weaknesses. Provide a conclusion.

Be aggressive here and give the jurors a good impression of your case. Begin with remarks that summarize the case, state your theme, and arouse the interest of the jurors. The first couple of minutes during your opening statement is when all the jurors are likely paying the most attention, so you want to capture them immediately. Consider the following example: "On January 23, 2001, Chris McGuigan walked into Riverdale Hospital through the front door to have a minor operation to remove a growth on her arm. One week later, on January 30, she was carried out of the back door dead. What happened in that short week to turn a routine operation into a life and death struggle, and why it never should have happened, is what this case is all about." In this section you want to first introduce your client, followed by an introduction of other important witnesses. When you introduce your client, you want to make them seem real and likable. At the end of the day, the jury is going to see your client throughout the trial so you want them to relate to and empathize with your client. You should also familiarize the jury with important locations and times that are going to play a big role in the trial. When you introduce these things, you should attempt to make them as real and tangible as possible because you want the jury to stay engaged and believe your story. When you identify the points of contention in your case, you want to tell the jury in plain language what is claimed in the complaint and how the complaint was answered. You want to state the general nature of the disputes the jury will have to resolve while making sure you are not attacking your opponent's case at this stage. This is the body of your opening statement and should tell your story of what happened from your client's point of view. You want this section to be simple and easy to follow because this will be the jury's first impression of the facts. Your focus should be on who did what to whom, what their reasons were for doing it, and what the...

Put a pink coral bracelet on your child.
In the United States, the evil eye is a superstition that is believed to be a curse. It's believed that if you give someone the evil eye, they will be cursed. The evil eye is also believed to be a curse on the person who gives it.

Use a pink coral bracelet. Try a red string. Have the baby wear a jet amulet. Use the spit method. Scatter salt. Try an eye charm.

Some suggest that putting a pink coral bracelet on your child will help protect against the evil eye. Others suggest having the child wear a buckeye has the same effect. In Jewish cultures, parents use a red string to fend off the evil eye. For instance, sometimes it's tied around a crib bar or the stroller handle. In some Hispanic cultures, babies wear an amulet made of black jet. Often, it's shaped as a small fist. You may see it with red and black beads on a gold chain. When someone gives your child a compliment, you can try spitting over your left shoulder three times and then touching wood (or knocking your own head) three times. This method is most often used in Russia. One Sicilian method of protection is to scatter salt on the floor inside the front door or outside the house. The salt (with innumerable grains) is supposed to confuse evil-casters. Another method Sicilians use is the urine method, where everyone in the house pees in a bucket. Then the urine is spilled in front of the house. Many cultures use eye charms to protect against evil eye. You can wear one on a necklace, for instance, or use one as a key chains. In Turkey, these little charms are made out of blue glass, but other cultures make them out of other materials.

If you have calluses on your feet, you can use lemon juice to soften them and remove them

Soak your feet in lemon juice. Make your own cracked-heel cream. Oil your feet before bed. Create your own overnight foot mask. Try paraffin wax to moisturize your feet.

The acid in lemon juice can be very helpful with softening and removing calluses.  Soak your feet in lemon juice for about 10 minutes before scrubbing your feet with a pumice stone or foot file. While foot razors or shavers can be purchased at drug stores and pharmacies, they are not a good idea to use.  They can easily cut your feet, and these cuts can easily become infected. Your heels tend to be one of the places that build up a lot of calluses.  You can help keep your heels, and the rest of your feet, soft and moisturized by making your own cracked-heel cream at home.  All you need to do is put a spoonful of olive oil in a small bottle and add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil.  Shake the bottle until the liquid turns thick and milky and then apply it to your feet, specifically your heels. You can make this cream and store it for future use as long as you remember to shake the bottle before you use it. The best time to moisturizer your feet is right before bed.  And you can moisturize your feet with more than just store-bought moisturizer — you can also use vegetable oil.  Simply apply a layer of vegetable oil to your feet before bed and then put on a pair of thick socks.  Leave the socks on all night while you sleep and then wipe off any excess oil in the morning. Vegetable oil (and other oils) can stain fabrics, including your socks and sheets.  The best socks to use in this situation are wool socks, as the wool absorbs the oil and doesn’t stain.  If you can’t use wool socks (or if they’re too hot) use a pair of old socks instead. Your face, hands and hair can benefit from masks — so can your feet!  It’s easy to make your own at home using 1 tablespoon of Vaseline (or another similar product) and the juice from 1 lemon.  Mix the Vaseline and lemon juice together in a bowl and apply the mixture to your clean feet before bed.  Wear a pair of socks on your feet all night and wipe off the excess Vaseline with a towel in the morning. Dedicate a pair of old socks to this process so you don’t have...

While these are easy to do at home, you can also sign up for a fitness class focused on core strengthening if you prefer a group fitness environment.  Modify some of these exercises to tone your obliques as well. by lifting weights and doing resistance exercises. Pick 3 or 4 exercises that target the muscle groups in your arms that you want to tone, and practice them every day. Try push-ups, pull-ups, or bench dips, which involve positioning your arms behind you on a bench. With your body in a floating seated position, you’ll raise and lower your body up and down to work your triceps. Alternatively, use hand weights to do bicep curls or arm circles. For guys, consider working out your pectorals as well as your arms by doing bench presses. by running or doing with squats and lunges. Every day, do repetitions of regular squats, jump squats, lunges, leg raises, bridges, and other glute-busting exercises to tighten your muscles. If you prefer, use a treadmill or go for a run on an incline to work out that area. Go for a bike ride or take yoga classes to work out your glutes and other leg muscles....

One of the easiest ways to increase your productivity is by changing the way you work. By streamlining your workload and focusing on one task at a time, you'll increase your efficiency and, as a result, your productivity at work.  Make short and long-term to-do lists. It will help you stay focused and keep on top of the projects you need to complete for that day, week, and month.  Avoid multitasking. Instead, focus on one task at a time and avoid jumping from one project to another. Multitasking has in fact been proven to reduce, not improve, productivity. Devote your attention to the tasks that need to be completed first. Keep projects with later dates on the back burner, but make incremental progress on tasks that have approaching deadlines. There are many things that can get in the way of a productive workday. Chatty coworkers, distracting activities, and looming concerns about things you need to do after work can all affect your ability to concentrate. By making small changes in how you work, you can block out these distractions and get down to business every day.  Many employees find that it's easier to get work done if you get to work early. Fewer coworkers often means fewer distractions at work.  Try turning off the sound on your computer and phone so you don't get alerts. You should also turn your cellphone off while you're working so you're not tempted to check for texts, missed calls, or social media notifications. Give yourself a 5 to 10 minute break every hour or so to check your email and indulge in the distractions you've been otherwise putting off.  Try stretching and walking around to reduce physical stress from sitting. You may have a hard time focusing on your work if you're feeling hungry or suffering from low blood-sugar levels. Snacking during the day can help you feel better and concentrate more easily, but you should choose healthy snacks to avoid crashing later in the day.  High-fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans can all help you power through a...

This is a very simple soup that can be made in a crock pot in about 30 minutes

Combine all of the ingredients except the spinach in a crock pot. Cook the soup on low heat for 8-10 hours. Stir in the spinach. Serve.

Place 1 lb. of green lentils, 1 US-quart (950 ml) of vegetable broth, 4 cups of water, 4 diced celery ribs, 4 diced carrots, 1 diced onion, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 tsp. of dried oregano, 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 pinch of cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste in a large crock pot. Stir the ingredients well to combine them. Cooking times vary slightly depending on how long it takes the lentils to soften without becoming too soft, and how long it takes for the soup to thicken. When it's ready, turn off the heat. Stir in 1/2 lb. of spinach and let it sit in the pot for a few minutes until it's completely wilted. You may think that you're putting in way too much spinach, but as the spinach wilts, it will get much smaller. Give this soup just a few minutes to cool down and then enjoy it on its own or with a slice of French bread. If you want it to be really creamy, you can even add a teaspoon of sour cream.

Familiarize yourself with the types of stress-related hair loss. See a doctor to confirm a diagnosis. Realize that hair will usually grow back on its own.

There are three main types of stress-related hair loss as follows:   Telogen effluvium: With telogen effluvium, stress may send a number of hair follicles into a resting phase, stopping the hair from growing. Several months later, the hair attached to the affected follicles may start to fall out suddenly, in greater volume than normal. This is possibly the most common type of stress-related hair loss.  Alopecia areata: With alopecia areata, the immune system turns on the hair follicles and causes hair to fall out, sometimes in large chunks. There may be several factors causing this type of hair loss, and stress is suspected to be one of them.  Trichotillomania: This condition is very different than the previous two, as it involves a person compulsively pulling out their own hair from their head, their eyebrows, or other areas of their body. A person usually develops this condition as a method of coping with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom. With each type of hair loss, the exact link between the hair loss and stress is somewhat unclear.  While stress will sometimes cause the hair loss directly, other times, the stress makes an existing condition worse. In some cases, the hair loss will cause the stress, rather than the other way around. Although most instances of hair loss will not require any significant medical attention, in some cases the hair loss is not the result of stress (as you might believe), but is in fact a symptom of a more serious underlying issue. Therefore, it important that you see your doctor rather than self-diagnosing. Some of the more serious conditions which can lead to hair loss include hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases such as lupus and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). With hypothyroidism and PCOS there are treatment options available which can help hair to grow back. However, with autoimmune related hair loss, the loss is often permanent. If hair loss is indeed caused by stress, the major focus of treatment should be on minimizing or eliminating that stress. ...
