If you don’t like the idea of adding real chocolate to your bath, you can choose to use chocolate fragrance oil instead. Chocolate fragrance oil comes in a variety of scents, like dark chocolate, mousse, and fudge. Almost any brand of fragrance oil you buy should work for the mixture. Crafters Choice, Nature Garden Secrets, and Essential Oil are brands that make chocolate fragrance oil. Glycerin is a sweet and colorless liquid that can be dissolved into water and alcohol. Glycerin has many skin benefits. It can be used as a toner, moisturizer, and it can treat wrinkles and blackheads. You can buy glycerin at most pharmacies and supermarkets. Africare is a brand name of 100% glycerin. You can also buy generic brands from stores like CVS and Walgreens. Baby shampoos are considered mild shampoos. Brands like Dawn and Ivory make mild dish soaps. Shampoo and dish soap can be found at most supermarkets. A small bottle will be enough because you will only need to use one cup of shampoo or soap. You can also choose to use unscented bubble bath, but you should not include it in the initial mixture. Instead, wait to add it directly to the bath.

Clean the area. Apply cold on the day of the injury. Switch to warm compresses. Take over the counter painkillers. Stay hydrated. Protect your lips with lip balm or chapstick. Keep the lip uncovered and pressure-free to avoid injuring it again. Eat a healthy diet.

While your lip is swollen and sore, it is vulnerable to injury. Sponge it with water gently, several times a day or whenever it gets dirty. Do not pick at it or wipe it.  If the lip swelled after an injury, especially a fall, disinfect it with an antiseptic. If the lip is swollen due to a piercing, follow the advice from the person who did the procedure. Don't take the piercing in and out unnecessarily. Wash your hands before you handle it. Do not clean with rubbing alcohol, which can make it worse. Wrap ice in a towel, or use an ice pack from the freezer. Place it gently on your swollen lip. This will reduce swelling for a recent injury. After the first few hours, cold is not typically effective, except to relieve pain. If you don't have ice, freeze a spoon for 5-15 minutes and put that on your swollen lip. Alternatively, suck on a popsicle. After the initial swelling is done, warmth may encourage healing. Heat water until hot, but still cool enough to touch. Dip a towel in the water, then wring out the excess. Hold it to your lips for 10 minutes. Repeat once an hour, several times a day or until swelling reverses. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that decrease pain and swelling. The most common over-the-counter variants are acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Drink plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated and avoid further cracking or swelling. These treatments moisturize your lips, preventing further cracking and drying.  There are many ways to make your own lip balm. Try combining 2 parts coconut oil, 2 parts olive oil, 2 parts grated beeswax, and a few drops of essential oil for scent. In a pinch, just dab your lips with coconut oil or aloe vera gel. Avoid balms that contain camphor, menthol, or phenol. Use petroleum jelly sparingly, as it may cause health issues in large quantities, and may not add much additional moisture. Pressure can cause more injury and a lot more pain. Try to keep the bruised area free and exposed to air. If chewing food hurts, healing will take...

If you're gay, you should tell your parents.
If you're not sure how to tell your parents, you can always ask them. They may be surprised to hear that you're gay. They may also be surprised to hear that you're not straight. They may be surprised to hear that you're not straight

Wait until the time is right. Do a practice run. Present them with the facts. Give them time. Understand when it's not a good idea.

This kind of discussion is a difficult one, especially if you aren't sure how your parents will react. Wait until you feel comfortable having the discussion. It can be hard if you're questioning your sexuality, as your parents may try to convince you're actually not gay. If you show any hesitation about your sexuality, your parents are likely to ask questions such as "Are you sure?" It's okay to discuss your feelings and reservations with them. – Just realize that they may want to ask if you're positive about your feelings. If you're not 100% sure, it's okay. You can have feelings for another guy now, yet decide later that you prefer women. Sexuality can change over time. But even if that happens later on, it does not invalidate your current feelings or your current relationship. While coming out to anybody is difficult, try coming out to someone who you know is sympathetic first. For instance, if you have a gay friend or know someone who is a gay ally, talk to him or her about your sexuality before addressing it with your parents. It's very hard to say the first time, so trying it out on someone else first can make it slightly easier on you when you do go to your parents. Plus, the person may be able to give you some tips if he or she is gay. Just be sure you completely trust the person first. If you need to convince your parents, try presenting them with facts about homosexuality. You can find many good resources out there about homosexuality, such as Planned Parenthood's website on the LGBTQ community. It's also good to have materials to give them or websites they can visit to read more about it. Many parents need time to adjust to this announcement. Because most parents expect their kids to be straight, they have to change their own thinking about who you are. Let them know it's okay to take time to adjust. For instance, you could say, "I know this announcement is a big one, and I understand if you need some time to adjust to the idea. I know I did." If you know your parents will react very badly because...

Use vitamin E. Take fish oil capsules. Experiment with milk thistle. Harness the power of green tea. Try probiotics.

Take enough supplemental vitamin E capsules to provide you with 800 IU daily. Don’t go over the daily recommended amount because too much could be harmful to your body. A study performed at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center indicated that vitamin E can lower some liver enzymes that are commonly believed to advance liver disease. It may even be able to heal some liver scarring. Use 1,000 mg of supplemental Omega-3 fatty acids each day. These fatty acids can be obtained through fish oil capsules. The British Medical Journal reported that this amount of Omega-3 fats can decrease the serum markers associated with liver cell damage. It may also be able to lower triglyceride levels and glucose levels in the body, thereby lowering common risk factors associated with fatty liver disease. Take a daily milk thistle supplement capsule or brew a cup of tea using a milk thistle tea bag. You can also combine 10 drops of milk thistle extract directly into a glass of water.  Silymarin, which is found in milk thistle, serves as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Some research suggests that it can directly affect liver function by reducing the release of harmful cytokines from an inflamed liver. As a result, the liver can more easily undergo a natural healing process, during which its fat accumulation can decline. If you are prescribed medicines that could impact the liver, milk thistle is a good option to combat them. Drink two to three cups of green tea on a daily basis. If this does not appeal to you, then take 600 mg of supplemental green tea extract daily.  More precisely, you can find supplemental green tea extract by purchasing supplements containing catechins derived from decaffeinated green tea. Some studies suggest that green tea and catechins derived from green tea can decrease intestinal fat absorption and storage. They can also encourage the oxidation of fatty acids, thereby helping your body use those fatty acids for energy. Take a daily probiotic capsule. For an even more natural approach,...

Allow the caulk on a top-mount sink to cure for 24 hours. Reconnect the water lines and the P-trap underneath the sink. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.

Instead of making the final connections right away, it’s better to give the silicone caulk time to set up. This will prevent the sink from shifting and breaking the solid bead of caulk that you made. If you’re installing an undermount sink, you should already have waited 24 hours before putting in the sink drain. In this case, you can proceed with the last steps of the installation. You just need to do the reverse of the disconnecting process. Hand-tighten the water lines where they connect to the hot and cold shutoff valves or use a crescent wrench if needed. Similarly, use your hands to tighten the nut on a PVC P-trap or channel locks for a metal P-trap.  If your new sink drain is a little shorter than your old one, you can buy a P-trap pipe extension at your local hardware store. The extension can be cut to fit and will also connect in place with a nut that you’ll either hand-tighten or secure with channel locks. If your new sink drain is a little too long, you can cut off some of the pipe either at the top of the P-trap or the bottom of the drain. Use a hacksaw or pipe cutter to make the adjustment. Open the hot and cold water valves by turning them counterclockwise. Then, open the hot and cold faucet taps fully and let the water run for at least 2-3 minutes. Watch under the cabinet for any leaks in the water lines, drain lines, or elsewhere. Tighten any loose connections as needed.  Keep the bucket or towel at the bottom of the sink cabinet while you test for leaks. If you have a leak at a pipe connection, try shutting off the water, undoing the connection, wrapping some plumber’s tape around the pipe threads, and then re-making the connection. If you can’t figure out where a leak is coming from and/or how to fix it, shut off the water supply lines and call a plumber.

Observe the dog in a quiet environment. Try to keep the dog from shaking or scratching at the ear. Use an Elizabethian collar for two or three days. Clean the ear. Create a head bandage.

Keep the dog in the quiet spot, so he can rest and you can keep a close eye on him. Make sure that the dog does not participate in any activity such as running or playing. If the dog shakes its head or scratches due to sensations from the wound, he can re-open the wound and cause further bleeding. Another potential complication from vigorous head shaking or scratching is the formation of an aural hematoma, which is a blood clot between the layers of the ear. This happens when a blood vessel beneath the skin and cartilage breaks and bleeds into the ear cartilage. The ear will swell like a pillow. These need to be treated by a veterinarian. To minimize complications, you can use an Elizabethian collar (also known as an e-collar, cone or recovery collar) for two or three days. This will prevent the dog from reaching the ear with a foot. You can minimize the dog’s desire to shake its head by carefully cleaning the ear and ear canal. Remove any bothersome blood or debris in the canal or inside the ear. Another option is to create a head bandage for the dog. This is especially helpful if the dog keeps flapping its ears. You will need to sacrifice a stocking for this option. Cut the toe off the stocking to form a tube. Fold the ears back over the head, using a piece of gauze on the wound. Carefully slide the stocking over the head. The nose and eyes should remain open with the stocking placed just beyond the eyes.  Make sure the fit is snug but not too tight. You should easily be able to fit a finger under the stocking both on the head and the neck. Leave the bandage on for a day, then remove it and check the ear wound. If needed, you can replace it for another day as long as it remains clean and dry.

Sleep on it before talking to anyone. Be mature and understanding about the outcome. Be gracious toward the person who got the promotion.

Rather than busting into your manager’s office as soon as your hear the news, finish out your day quietly and go home to unwind. The disappointment may be too fresh to have a productive conversation about why you didn’t get the promotion. If your boss or the hiring manager tells you in person that you didn't get the promotion, thank them for taking the time to interview you. Avoid asking questions until you've had time to process the rejection. If anyone asks you how you’re feeling, simply say, “I’m disappointed. I really wanted it, but I’ll try again next time.” Even if you’re not feeling understanding, show that you can be mature in the face of disappointment.  Avoid gossiping and venting your frustrations with coworkers. It could get back to management that you weren’t being gracious. If the other candidate comes up in conversation, try saying, "They really deserved it," or "They were really qualified." Offer your congratulations the next time you run into the person who was promoted. Treat them the way you’d want to be treated if you’d gotten the promotion. Be friendly rather than standoffish or dismissive, since others will take note of these behaviors.

Baking soda is a powerful exfoliant and can help with the treatment of blackheads when applied properly. In order to use baking soda and water, you will first have to mix the two together to form a paste.  In general, you should mix equal parts baking soda and lukewarm water. How much you use depends on how many areas of your face you need to cover.  If you want to add a dash of apple cider vinegar to the mixture, this can serve as a toner. It's optional, however.  Mix the ingredients together until they form a paste-like substance. Before you use the mixture, you should wash your hands. You want to make sure you don't get any outside debris into your pores while you're washing your skin.  Wet your hands with clean running water and then apply an antibacterial hand soap. Work the soap into a lather.  Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds, making sure to wash the back of your hand, under your fingernails, and between your fingers. To keep track of time, you can try humming the "Happy Birthday" song twice.  Rinse your hands thoroughly and dry them off using a clean towel. After you've washed your hands, splash your face with clean, warm water. This will open your pores and help with the cleansing process. You can also wet a washcloth with hot water and drape it over your face until it cools.

Realize that blades and boots are sold separately. Choose the right boots. Ensure that the blade does not have a large toe pick. Have the boot fitted properly. Take time to break in your new boots.

For beginners, it is not necessary to have a boot with a lot of padding on the tongue or extra hooks. Three hooks should be enough. It is sufficient to have about 3 or 4 picks. Check that the heel of the boot fits firmly around your ankle. Your ankle will direct your foot in the curving and turning when you learn this. The boot should also fit firmly from heel to toe. This can be hard work and they won't feel very comfortable at first. The answer to this is to break them in in short bursts and build up. Even wearing them around the house or watching TV (with guards on) helps to break them in faster.

Put a clean kitchen towel over the bowl with the chestnuts. The towel will trap the heat so the chestnuts steam. This will make them easier to peel. If you seasoned the chestnuts, pour the leftover seasoning in the foil over the peeled chestnuts just before serving. To cook with plain roasted chestnuts, add them to stuffing, soup, pasta, or cake. To store leftover roasted chestnuts, put them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

Remain calm. Get all the information. Be gentle. Take care of yourself.

Whether you’ve just gotten the news or are about to attend a meeting, remaining calm will help you problem-solve and approach the situation with a clear head. You might instantly take your child’s side or feel like their expulsion is a reflection of you. If you get a phone call or have a meeting with the school, do your best to be calm throughout. If you notice you’re feeling upset and need to calm down, take some deep breaths. Breathe from your diaphragm and lengthen each of your breaths until you feel more calm and centered. Start by asking both your child and the school district about what happened.  Ask who was involved, what happened, and the timeline of events. Get as much information as you can from as many perspectives as possible. Don't be afraid to ask for a meeting or call back later for more information. This is your child's future.  There may be differences in the stories depending on who’s telling, but get as clear of a picture as you can. Be willing to hear both sides without judgment or interruption. The school deals with your child as a student, but you deal with them as a parent.  While an expulsion is a large academic consequence, you may just talk to them about it. An expulsion shouldn’t be a holiday for your child. You may want to take away their privileges (like a phone or television) or tighten the reins on their freedoms with friends. Your time and attention may be focused on your child during this time, but make sure you’re taking care of yourself, too. Have someone to talk to, like a partner, friend, or another parent who understands. Even if they can’t solve your problems, it can be helpful to talk about it and what you’re going through. Do things for yourself that make you feel supported and taken care of. Take a bath, go on a walk, write in a journal, or listen to calm music.

Use your breastfeeding time to remind yourself to eat. Wait to drink fluids with your meal or after it. Choose nutrient-dense foods that are high in calories. Down a smoothie or protein shake when you don't feel like eating.

Your baby will be eating small meals throughout the day so try eating after you feed. If you're having trouble gaining weight, it may be because you get full quickly. Eating more often can take care of that problem, as even if you only eat a small amount, it will add up throughout the day.  Aim for 5-6 small meals each day. A small meal could be 2 eggs and whole wheat toast, a ham sandwich, or a small can of soup, for instance. If you drink water right before your meal, it can make you feel full. Instead, consume drinks with your meal, or if that still makes you full, wait 30 minutes after you're done eating. Pick high-calorie beverages like milk, juice, or even a smoothie. If you get full quickly, eating foods that are high in calories (but still nutritious) can help you gain weight. Try foods like dried fruit, heavy whole-grain breads, and bean and meat stews. These foods will add calories, but still give you and your baby the nutrition you need.  Dried fruit is a good option because it condenses the calories of the fruit into a much smaller package so you don't feel as full when eating it. You can also try nuts and seeds and lean proteins. If you need to eat but nothing sounds good, a smoothie may be a good option. That way, you get in some calories, but you aren't forcing yourself to eat. Plus, smoothies give you an extra boost of vitamins and minerals, great for you and your baby.  You can buy pre-made smoothies or make your own. Add some protein and calorie-dense foods to your smoothie, such as yogurt, peanut butter, milk, almond butter, or protein powder. You can also try meal-replacement protein shakes. Keep them on hand, then down them as needed.

Once you've found the Big Dipper, you should be able to easily spot the little Dipper.  Remember that the two farthest most stars in the Big Dipper's handle point to the North Star. The North Star is the first star in the handle of the Little Dipper. The Little Dipper is not as bright as the Big Dipper. It looks similar to the Big Dipper, though. It has a handle made up of three stars that connects to a four-star bowl. It is harder to find the Little Dipper because the stars are not as bright in it, especially if you are in a city. The Big Dipper is what is called an asterism. That means it is a pattern of stars that is not a constellation. It is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Bear.  The Big Dipper stars are the bear's tail and hindquarters. The Ursa Major constellation can be best seen in April at around 9 p.m. Using a drawing for reference (there are many online) should help you sketch out the rest of the stars that form the Big Bear once you find the Big Dipper.  Ursa Major is the third largest constellation and one of 88 official constellations.

Prepare the counter. Simmer your mixture. Finish the pralines. Pour the pralines.

The praline process is delicate and time sensitive. You need to make sure that you have a spooning area ready before you begin to cook. This will make sure you don't let your pralines cool too much later on. Place a few sheets of parchment paper near you. Place a spoon by the paper in case you need it to help get the mixture off the spoon. You will also need a candy thermometer.  You can also use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper. Do not use wax paper. The heat of the pralines will melt the wax off the paper. You can also put the parchment paper on a flat baking if you want to be able to move them after your make them. Butter the sides of a 2 quart saucepan. Pour in the sugars, salt, corn syrup, milk, and butter in the saucepan. Stir them together and cook over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook until it reaches 236 degrees on the candy thermometer. Remove it from heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. You can use the soft ball test if you don't have a candy thermometer. When you think your mixture is thick enough, drizzle a drop of the candy mixture into a glass of cold water. Take the ball that forms out of the water. If it squishes flat between your fingers but stays together, it is ready to come off the heat. Once the mixture has cooled, put the nuts and the vanilla into the mixture. Beat the mixture by hand with a spoon for about 2 minutes. The candy should start to thicken and lose its glossy sheen. Once it it no longer glossy, take your spoon and start to measure out your pralines. Each spoonful should be dropped on the parchment paper you prepared earlier. If the mixture gets stuck on the spoon, use the spoon you set aside earlier to help get the mixture off. Continue this until all of the pralines are formed. Let them cool to room temperature before you eat them.  Pour a teaspoon or two of hot water in the pralines if the mixture starts to harden before you are done spooning them out.

They can listen to you, talk to you, encourage you, and comfort you.   You may not hear from your family or friends as you would expect to, due to them just not knowing what to say or how to react.

I feel really anxious and don’t want to talk or do anything. I just want someone here with me.” Stay with one of them for a few days of you need to (especially if the traumatic event has you afraid, depressed, or anxious). You don’t need to or have to tell all of your family members and friends. Tell those that will be there for you. Talking about it helps them understand what you are going through. It can also help you deal with the emotions related to the event. Although you don’t have to (and shouldn’t) tell everyone you meet, you will cope better if you don’t keep it a secret.   Ask them to help you by staying calm. You might say, “I need you to stay calm when I tell you what happened so that I can stay calm.” Don’t be mad if they ask some questions, they are just trying to understand what happened. You can ask that they not share what you have told them with anyone else. If the traumatic event is something that happened to people other than just you, talk to them. They understand exactly what you went through and are going through. Because they care about you, your friends and family will want to see you smile and try to cheer you up. Let them, even if it’s just to distract yourself from the traumatic event for a few moments. Smiling and laughing will help relieve some of your physical and emotional tension.

Hold your hand near the water. Dip your elbow in the water. Gauge the water temperature.

If you want to form a very rough idea of whether water is cold, lukewarm, or hot, first hold your hand above the water. If you feel heat radiate off of the water, it is hot and may burn you. If you feel no heat, the water will either be room-temperature or cold. Do not stick your hand directly into water—either in a kitchen or in nature—without first holding your hand above it to gauge the temperature. If the water container is large enough, dip one of your elbows into the water. This will give you a rough idea of the water’s temperature. You’ll be able to instantly tell if the water is hot or cold. Avoid putting your hand into water of an unknown temperature, as you could scald yourself. If you leave your elbow in the water or 5–10 seconds, you’ll be able to form a rough idea of the water’s temperature. If the water feels slightly warm, but not hot, it’s around 100 °F (38 °C).

Boil a pot of water. Soak the decorations in the water. Scrub the decorations with a toothbrush. Prepare a bucket of bleach solution. Place the decoration in the bleach solution. Scrub the decoration again. Rinse the decoration with cool water.

Make sure the pot is large enough to hold one or more decorations at a time. This can be regular tap water. Do not add anything to it, such as soap or chlorine. Once the water has boiled, place one or two decorations into the pot. Let them soak for about 20 minutes. This should kill a majority of the algae and make  the decorations easier to clean.  Your decorations should be able to withstand the temperature of the boiled water. If they melt or fall apart, they should be thrown away. Take the water off of the heat before soaking the decorations. You can now remove the decorations from the pot and scrub them with the bristles of a toothbrush. The algae should come off relatively easily.  Use a toothbrush that is specifically dedicated to your aquarium. It should not be used to clean anything else, or you may contaminate your aquarium. If your decorations appear clean after this step, you can move on to putting them back in the tank. This step is not always necessary. However, if you want to make sure you’ve removed all algae, you may want to clean the decorations with a bleach solution as well.  Your solution should be 5% bleach and 95% water. A handy recipe to use is 4 teaspoons of bleach to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water. This water can be cool or warm, but should not be hot. Hot water can deactivate bleach. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. After this, your decoration should be clean and free from any remaining algae.  Never bleach aquarium gravel or rocks. This will disrupt the health of your aquarium, because they may absorb the bleach. Always use bleach in a well ventilated area. The fumes can be dangerous. If your eyes burn or run due to the fumes, you’re using too much bleach and do not have enough ventilation. Wearing rubber gloves is advisable when working with bleach. It may irritate or dry out your skin. Use the same toothbrush that you used earlier. Scrub the decoration to remove any remaining visible algae. Make sure to turn the decorations over and scrub all sides to prevent future algae buildup....

Take apart the hinge, if possible. Use a measuring tape and level to help you evenly space your hinges. Place the hinge in its spot and trace it with a pencil. Mark the center of the hole so you know where to place the screws.

Some hinges are all one piece and can’t be taken apart. However, if your hinge can be separated into pieces, remove the hinge pin to take the hinge apart. This will help you install it easier. The package your hinges come in should tell you whether or not they can be taken apart. Measure your cabinet or door so you can space the hinges the same distance from each end. Use a level or combination square to make sure the hinge is even. Mark the spot where you’d like the hinge to go using a pencil or piece of painter’s tape. If you’ve taken the hinge apart, remember to mark the spots for the 2 pieces, not just 1.   A door hinge is usually installed 5 inches (13 cm) from the top of the door and 10 inches (25 cm) from the bottom. To use a level, set the level at the top of the hinge. Rotate the hinge until the bubble in the level is between the 2 middle vertical lines. Use a combination square by lining up the edge of the square with the edge of the door, cabinet, etc. The combination square will create a right angle, helping you line up your hinge. Once you’ve decided where the 2 hinge pieces will be placed, trace around the hinge and screw holes using a pencil. Remove the entire hinge once you’ve traced it. Use a center punch to mark the center of each hole that you just traced. If you don’t have a center punch, you can use a nail and hammer to create a small hole exactly where you’d like the screws to go. Place the tip of the center punch on the center of the hole—you can use a pencil or pen to mark the center. Use a hammer to hit the top of the center punch, creating the indentation.

Where the blade attaches to the arm, you should see a joint. On this you’ll find a release for the arm. Open the release, take out the old blade, insert a new one, and reset the release.  On some cars, there may be a push-tab or tension hook attaching the blades to the arm assembly. Release these kinds of fasteners with your hands and slide off the blade. Depending on who you ask, you might hear that you should change your blades every six months or once a year, but it’s always a good idea to before the rainy season. Follow the wiper blade down the arm to its base. You should see a nut sticking up from this point. Remove the nut with a wrench. Now you can pull the arm off. Fit a replacement arm into place and fasten the nut and your new assembly is good to go. With time and use, the assemblies holding your wiper blades in place can become misshapen or inflexible, contributing to squeaking.

If you are sad, you might want to add a few signs of sadness to your performance.
If you are sad, you might want to add a few signs of sadness to your performance.
If you are sad

Add signs of sadness to your costume. Include props on stage that signal sadness. Show signs your character has been losing sleep. Give an impression of detachment and resignation. Use melodramatic gestures and overt signals when the performance allows it.

You might need to get the director’s or costume designer’s permission, but ask if you can add a few extras to your costume to help communicate the character’s frame of mind. For instance:  Give your character red eyes and a red, sore nose to show evidence of crying. Could you add a dirty sleeve covered in tears and snot? Unkempt hair and a messy overall appearance show detachment and lack of interest. Dark circles around your eyes indicate a lack of sleep, which is a common sign of sadness. When someone is sad, they can leave tell-tale signs in the environment. If the director and set designer give you permission, try adding a few elements to the stage that show the audience the effects of your character’s sadness. For example:  Scatter tissues everywhere and include an empty tissue box or two. Include discarded or half-finished projects. Show evidence of the anger that often accompanies sadness by featuring destroyed toys, art, furnishings, or clothing. Sleep deprivation is strongly linked to sadness and depression. This makes including signs of exhaustion and sleeplessness a useful strategy for portraying a sad character. Bring the following into your performance:  Yawning and a slumped posture. Slow, slothful movements. Leaning against furniture or nodding off a little when you aren’t speaking. A deep sadness will often cause someone to draw away from social contact and emotional connection with others, and you can bring signs of aversion and distance to your performance without changing the script or stage at all. For example:  Lower your gaze and avoid looking directly at the other characters on stage. Stare off stage as though unconnected to your surroundings. Maybe make eye contact with someone in the audience. Your character will appear detached from those on stage, but the connection with another person allows you to use smaller gestures such as facial expressions. Toy with objects on stage as though you are lost in thought or moving absentmindedly. Don’t respond to the emotions of the other...

Choose your equipment. Learn the terminology of the spinning process. Get familiar with the equipment. Select a spinning wheel. Know what to look for in choosing a spinning wheel.

You will have to decide if you prefer a drop spindle or a spinning wheel. Both have benefits and drawbacks. Drop spindles are good to use when starting out, but spinning wheels tend to be a faster way to spin.  Using a drop spindle. Creating your own drop spindle is simple and easy. When you've mastered the spindle, you'll have mastered all the different steps for spinning (drawing out the fibers, twisting the fibers into yarn, and winding up and storing spun yarn). The best drop spindle to begin with is the top whorl drop spindle with a hook at the top. This one is sturdy enough to be dropped on the floor as you're getting accustomed to spinning. The spinning wheel is more difficult to master than the drop spindle, because it requires pedals to work the speed of the wheel and has more parts than a drop spindle. However, once you've gotten the hang of spinning on a wheel, you can spin more quickly than with a drop spindle. A spinning wheel works by rotating the bobbin using the drive band. While you treadle, the wheel turns and the flyer and the bobbin rotate. You twist the fibers in your hand and these are wound around the bobbin. You have to change the speed of bobbin in order to get the yarn on the bobbin automatically. Different types of spinning wheels can facilitate the wrapping of the yarn around the bobbin in different ways. There are lots of words that you're not going to be immediately familiar with when you're just starting out. You'll need to learn the words for the different aspects of the spinning process before you can start spinning.  Roving is a continuous rope of fibers that have already been carded and are ready to spin. Carding is when you prepare cleaned but unprocessed wool by hand carding or with a drum carder. A drum carder is a mechanical device, either hand cranked or electric, that cards fibers for spinning. The device you use to hand card is typically a large paddle set with 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) curved metal tines. A niddy-noddy is a double-headed tool used in skeining spun yarn....

Explain to children the process of puberty. Anticipate that children will start to explore behaviours that may be sexual in nature. Acknowledge children's struggles with body image, social skills, and sexuality.

Children as young as 8 may begin to experience puberty both physically and mentally. It is important to make children aware what changes may follow, such as:   Physical changes like the growth of genitals, breast development and menstruation, and growth spurts. Sexual feelings that may lead to sexual attraction to others and masturbation. Emotional changes that affect how children see themselves, their self-image, and how they relate to others like their parents, family, and friends. Elementary-aged children may start to become physically intimate with each other and start dating, kissing, or touching. Some older children may even begin to explore the idea of being sexually intimate with someone.   Talk about the importance of permission when it comes to touching each other. If you see a child trying to force touch on someone else (e.g. trying to kiss an unwilling kid), scold them and say it's not appropriate. For example, "He said no! You need to listen to him." Some education programs will start to educate elementary-aged children about protection and contraceptives when engaging in sex. As well as the effects of HIVs/AIDs and STIs/STDs. The continuation of teaching children that their bodies are their own will help them engage in safe and healthy relationships with others. At this time, children will come across difficulties with expressing themselves, or have trouble understanding what is happening to them as puberty begins. It's important to address issues such as:    Sexuality. Since children at this age will start to develop attraction towards one another, some may experience difficulty adjusting to their sexuality, especially if they identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, or anything other than what is assumed as "normal". Provide resources and comfort to help children adjust to their sexuality.  Gender identity. Some children may be expressing their gender differently or identify as transgender. Validate these differences by providing children tools and resources to better navigate their...

Keep heating and stirring your candy until it reaches 300°F (148.89°C).

This is very important. If you don't get your mixture hot enough, it won't harden properly. Your candy will be soft and sticky, no matter how long you let it sit, harden, or cool. It will take about an hour for it to reach this stage.  Do not let the temperature to reach 320°F (160°C) or your sugar glass will start to caramelize and turn brown.  If you don't have a candy thermometer, drop a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the candy hardens into threads, it has reached the "hard crack" phase.

Talk it out. Think positively. Accept your partner for who they are. Do something new together. See a couple's therapist.

Communication is the most important tool in your relationship. Talk about things that you are bothering by, your likes and dislikes, and discuss solutions to your problems. Be as honest as your possibly can, and dig deep to get at your feelings. As you communicate with your partner, listen and be open minded. Frame your statements in a positive way, using I statements. For example, instead of saying, “you make me sad.”, say something like, “I feel sad when you don't remember our anniversaries”. Your relationship may feel like an endless cycle of negativity; complaining about work and friends or constantly nagging each other. Break from the cycle by focusing on the good, and orientating towards what is positive in your relationship. For example, focus on the great attributes of your partner, such as their humor, or the wonderful things you have accomplished together, such as buying a home or going on great vacations.  Think positively by expressing gratitude. Say thank you to each other to remind yourself of the good qualities of your partner. Making light of certain situations will help you feel and think more positively. Be playful and embrace humor! You chose your partner, flaws and all. Accept every part of your partner, both the good and the bad. If you partner chronically runs late for events, accept it, and don't try to change them. Accept that is their decision to be late, and be on time yourself. To help you accept your partner, focus on their best attributes to outshine the negative ones. Plan an exciting date like kayaking, go on a spontaneous vacation, or go on a treasure hunt! Have fun doing new things together. This will get you back to your roots of when you first met. Everything you did together was new back then, so consciously doing new things will help you remember where the sparks came from.

Find your own joy. Get your life in order. Aim for improving your own life, not perfecting it.

If you want to try to make others happy, then you'll need to start with yourself. What makes you happy? What brings you joy? Thinking about these questions will help you start to figure out how you can spread happiness to others.  Make a list of the times you've been happiest in your life. It may help for you to go through a photo-book for this. Pay attention to the photos where you look happiest or at peace: What were you doing then? Who were you with? Do you still manage to find time to engage in these activities? If not, try to make it a priority to set time aside for you to do things that truly make you feel happy. Even if you don't have the time to go on long off-trail runs every weekend like you used to, for example, perhaps you can manage to fit in a jog around your local park once or twice or week. You may be surprised at how quickly you start to perk up after returning to the activity you once loved so much. It's hard to help others effectively if your own life is a mess. If you really want to make a positive impact on the world, you'll be better at it if you aren't too distracted by your own problems.  Maybe you'd like to help people who are unemployed find meaningful work that provides them with a steady income. If you struggle to keep a job, though, you won't be able to offer much in the way of advice, and you certainly won't be taken seriously. However, you shouldn't give up on this goal just because you haven't (yet!) held down one good-paying job for a long stretch of time. Indeed, once you manage to figure things out, you'll be in an excellent position to help others who are in positions like yours. You will truly be able to understand their situation and will be able to offer solid, proven advice once you manage to overcome your own obstacles. While one of the first steps towards helping others is helping yourself, be careful not to put off the start of your new plan for too long. You will never be perfectly happy, perfectly content, perfecting employed, etc.  If you wait for the time to be...

Have a versatile fashion sense that suits you. Apply makeup that is right for you.

Try looking in magazines or online to find out about what trends are in style, and combine this with your own look, but remember, the most important thing is to wear what YOU want to and what YOU feel comfortable in, not what anyone else says. Never overdo or cake on your makeup. The point of makeup is to emphasise your best bits and minimise your flaws, not cover your entire face. Wear a little bit of concealer to hide blemishes and under eye circles if you need it. Remember, being a girl doesn't mean you have to wear makeup. Unless you need to hide blemishes, you can go without makeup and still look great.  Wear a bit of BB or CC cream if you don't feel comfortable wearing regular makeup, but still want to cover blemishes.

Review at least three times a day. Study in short bursts. Engage yourself. Shuffle your flashcards. Make separate piles as you read. Always keep your cards with you.

Practice makes perfect. The more you go through your stack of cards, the more you’ll be able to remember. You can set slightly different goals depending on how fast you get the information, but the more times you are able to go through them, the more you will remember. Space out your study sessions. Your goal shouldn’t be to get through your flashcards three times as quickly as possible to skip doing it later. Taking a break between sessions will help you know what information you are having trouble remember. That way, you can focus on that more to make sure you get it right. The best way to help yourself memorize flashcards is to review them in small groups rather than push through the whole pile at once. This will keep you focused on smaller chunks of information, which is easier to memorize. This will also encourage you to pick the cards up for a quick study session between classes or while waiting for your friends to show up, knowing you don’t need to rush so you can get through the whole thing. Take impromptu opportunities to use flashcards. Use odd moments of downtime to review. Waiting for the bus? On hold with customer service? Dinner cooking? Time to use the flashcards! Don’t let yourself zone out, or mindlessly flip through the cards. Instead, find ways to keep your attention up. When you read each card, say the words out loud, or say things like “I know this,” or “I don’t know this.” Staying engaged with the material will help you stay focused on what you are doing.  Try rewarding yourself: Every correctly memorized card gets you a small candy, for instance. Try some movement. Try wandering around the house with the cards. Do a squat each time you do a flashcard. Try doing it while doing wall sits. You may help your strength as well as wake up your mind! Before you begin to go through and review your cards, mix them up a bit. If you just keep repeating the pile, you won’t be memorizing the answers, just the order they appear in. Unless you know that’s how the information will appear on your test,...

Reframe the situation. Repeat a mantra. Listen to calming music. Reduce stimulation. Give yourself breaks. Go for a walk. Regulate your breathing.

Remind yourself of the positive aspects of having an HSP personality (see the “Valuing HSP Characteristics” section). Tell yourself that your reaction to the given situation is a normal part of your highly sensitive personality, and that there is nothing to be afraid of. Notice the things around you that are most familiar to you and try to focus on those. A mantra is a word or phrase that calms you. It can be an inspirational quote, a phrase that is meaningful to you, or a prayer. Focusing on a mantra provides you with a mini-meditation that can reduce your body’s stress response and help you focus on the present moment. Examples of mantras are, “I am great the way I am,” “I can manage my sensitivity” or “this, too, shall pass.” People who are highly sensitive often feel very connected to music. They tend to respond emotionally to music, so listening to calming music in times of overstimulation can help calm them. While listening to music, try to focus on your inward state and on the sounds of the music, blocking out other external stressors. As silly as it sounds, you may need to close your eyes if you feel overwhelmed. Closing your eyes can help you block out overwhelming visual stimuli, which can help separate you from external stress. Taking deep breaths while your eyes are closed can help you feel calmer. If you are an HSP, you may need to build breaks into your schedule, particularly if you have many tasks to complete or you are going to be in a crowded environment. You can even set an alarm at a given interval to give yourself a break. This can help prevent you from feeling overwhelmed or over-stimulated. Walking has the double-benefit of being a form of physical exercise, which can reduce muscle tension and get out nervous energy, and allowing you to remove yourself from stressful stimulation.  If possible, walk outdoors.  Being outdoors is often less overwhelming than crowded indoor spaces, and scenic views of nature can be of solace to highly sensitive individuals.

Note the different types of AA meetings. Locate an AA meeting near you. Ask someone in recovery for a meeting recommendation. Find a buddy to attend the first meeting.

Each AA group follows the rules and guidelines of the AA program, but they can have their own agenda and mandate. There are several different types of AA meetings:  Step meetings: Follow the 12 steps outlined by Alcoholics Anonymous. Each meeting focuses on one of these steps. The step will be read out loud and commented on by members. Not everyone in the group will be on that step, but everyone gets a chance to talk about what the step means to them. Big Book meetings: These meetings use a reading for the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous to spark discussion. Several pages may be read aloud by a volunteer and members take turns reading a portion of the Book. There is a round the room discussion of a chosen topic from the Book. Speaker meetings: These meetings are less participatory, as a single speaker will be talking for most of the meeting. The speaker will recount their experiences with alcohol and AA to instruct and guide other members. Some of these meetings will be open to the general public. Location specific meetings: A meeting can be formal or casual, based on the setting of the meeting. Church meetings (run by a church, not just a meeting held at a church) may be styled toward whichever religion is sponsored by the group. There are also smoking and non-smoking meetings offered, though with recent bans on smoking indoors, smoking meetings are less common. Beginner meetings: These are meetings for people who are new to AA and want to learn more about the program. The agenda and structure for these meetings will likely follow the traditional AA structure.  Open and closed meetings: Open meetings are for anyone and Closed meetings are for alcoholics only. Many groups don’t adhere to this distinction and it is not uncommon for regular participants in a meeting to be unclear whether their meeting is officially open or closed. Family and friends of an AA members, as well as observers, are welcome at open meetings. Closed meetings are reserved for those who consider themselves alcoholics or who are...

Technical analysis is a method of predicting future price movements based on past

Consider using analysis. Recognize ups and downs. Be consistent with your rules for trading. Don't feel obliged to trade every day. Practice and learn more. Read all the books on trading you can. Start small. Invest for the long run.

Learn how to use technical analysis effectively and profitably. This is simply using past price action to anticipate future results. For instance, if a stock has been going up for the last six months, you can assume it will keep going up unless the chart action tells you otherwise. Technical traders act on what they see, not what they feel will happen next. Arrogance kills. Search "wall street newbie" for more information about technical analysis.  Know that technical analysis differs from fundamental analysis, which is another stock-picking philosophy. Although both philosophies have their putative benefits, neither has been historically shown to outperform simply keeping your money locked up in sound stocks. Understand tension, or the concepts of support and resistance. Support and resistance are considered critical indicators for price continuation, stalls, or reversals. These are visual charted tops and bottoms of a stock. For example, say that a stock trades between $55 and $65. Next time the stock is trading at $55 (support), you would expect it to go back up to $65 (resistance), and vice versa. If this stock goes up to around $68, far beyond resistance of $65, you would no longer expect it to go to its old support at $55. Instead you would expect $65 to be its new support and for the stock to go to new highs. The opposite would be true if the stock broke below $55. This is essential for profitability. You must have systemic rules, rules for your trading game, that you must follow. These rules tell you when to get in and when to get out. Follow these rules strictly even if it means taking a loss now and then. For example, if you have a rule to limit losses to 10%, and the stock loses 10%, you sell. Don't argue with the market.

The title

Refer to the figure in your text. Place the citation underneath the graph. Provide a brief description of the graph. Begin your citation information. List the volume's name, then the page number in parentheses. Follow with author, date of publication, location, and publisher. End with copyright information for the graph if you plan to publish the paper.

You should not include any figure that you don’t mention in the text. Always refer to the figure by its number, not wording such as “the figure above” or “the figure below.” For example, you could write: “As seen in Figure 1, tomato consumption has risen sharply in the past three decades.” Label the graph or chart “Figure X.” Italicize this part.  Figures should be numbered in the order they appear; your first graph or other illustration is Figure 1, the second is Figure 2, etc. If the graph has an existing title, give it in “sentence case.” This means you only capitalize the first letter of the first word in the sentence, as well as the first letter after a colon. This description, or legend, provides your reader with information regarding the graph's content. Make sure you give enough information that the caption describes the figure adequately. In APA, this description ends with a period.  For example: Figure 1. Rise in tomato consumption,1970-2000. Use sentence case for the description too. In most cases, you will begin this information with the words "Reprinted [or adapted] from..." This will signal to your reader that the graph is not original to your work, but rather comes from a different source.  If the graph you’re presenting is your original work, meaning you collected all the data and compiled it yourself, you don’t need this phrase. For example: Figure 1. Rise in tomato consumption,1970-2000. Reprinted from... Place book titles in italics, and cite the relevant page number in parentheses immediately following the title with no punctuation in between. Use title case for books and journal titles, meaning you capitalize all the major words in the title. For example: Figure 1. Rise in tomato consumption,1970-2000. Reprinted from Growing Vegetables in Your Backyard (p. 43), This information should follow the format of "by first initial(s) last name, date, location: publisher."  For example, "J.

Define the purpose of the road trip. Decide where you're going. Know how long you'll be gone. Gauge various routes. Communicate with your traveling companions.

Perhaps you are trying to visit a friend in another city, or perhaps you want to explore a handful of famous national parks. Perhaps you are fed up with the rigors and routines of workaday life, and you just want to go somewhere else. Keep perspective. If you want to plot out the whole trip in advance, then you'll need to do a bit of booking and organizing to make everything run smoothly. If you just want to hit the road for a few days and see where you wind up, then you don't need to plan much at all. Do you have one destination, or several destinations, or no destination? Look at a map, and mark all of the places that you want to visit. Calculate the distances and travel times between these points. Chart out an "optimal route" that touches upon all of the places that you want to see.  If time is a constraint, you may not be able to see everything that you want. Rank your priorities, and decide whether any destinations take you too far out of the way. Think about the balance of your trip. Do you want to spend most of your time rambling through wild, outdoor spaces, or do you want to see the cities along the way? How much time do you want to spend outside of the car? Try using a road trip planning app or website to chart your course. These services can help you decide how far to drive each day, which roads to take, and how to optimally hit all of your destination points. Some of these sites will even help you book hotels and other accommodations! A road trip might last a day, a week, a month, or even longer. The only limits are the length of the road and the strength of your obligations back home. The longest road trips can be hugely ambitious or lushly open-ended – and they may not even have a set "destination" in mind. Try to fit the road trip into a "free" or unscheduled block of time: a vacation from school, a break from work; any time when you don't have any serious, conflicting commitments.  Consider the basic logistics. Ensure that you have enough money to take this trip. Check that you can get the...

The brine is a key ingredient in the pastrami, and it's also a key ingredient in the brine for the corned beef. The brine is a mixture of salt, water, and spices that is

Combine the brine ingredients. Boil over high heat. Add the beef brisket and let soak.

Pour the water, salt, liquid smoke, garlic, and pickling spice into a large stockpot.  Make sure that the stockpot you use can fit inside of your refrigerator. You will need to store it there in a later step. Place the stockpot on the stove. Give the ingredients a quick stir with a large mixing spoon to combine well. Turn the burner onto high heat and cook the brine ingredients until they just begin to boil. At that point, the brine should be removed from the heat and cooled to room temperature. Most of the spices in the pickling mix should have had the chance to dissolve, and the same goes for the salt. Essentially, boiling the ingredients together blends the flavors more effectively. Place the brisket in the brine, cover, and refrigerate overnight.  Cover loosely with the stockpot's lid or with a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. The brisket should chill in the brine for at least 8 hours, if possible. For a stronger flavor and more tender pastrami, though, you could let it sit in the brine up to 3 days.

Accept your parents' plans without arguing. Remember the big picture. Work on bringing your grades up. Maintain communication with your parents.

Once your parents have decided how to proceed, do not argue. Arguing or complaining about your parents' plans will only make them angry. Even if you feel frustrated by new rules, accept them with maturity to avoid making your parents angrier. To keep your own emotions in check, remember why your parents are angry. Grades are important for your future. They can help you get into a good college and eventually get a good job. It can be stressful to deal with your parents' anger, but they want what's best for you. Immediately start trying harder to bring your grades up. This will prevent your parents from becoming angry in the future.   Pay attention during class by taking notes, avoiding electronics, and not sitting near friends.  Ask questions if anything confuses you and schedule a private meeting with your teacher.  Avoid procrastinating on your homework and study for tests and quizzes well in advance. Keep talking to your parents about school, even when things are going well. Let them know how you did on a quiz, any subjects you're struggling with, and other details of your academic life. Open communication helps your parents know when you may need help. This can prevent bad grades in the future.

You can eat meat

Set small goals. Move on to the next meat. Add in more vegetables. Allow yourself some less-healthy options. Make your own meatless options. Decide how far you want to go.

Don't try to go completely meatless right away. While that works for some people, it can make the transition much harder for you than if you do it in smaller steps.  For instance, you could say that you're giving up beef for the next 10 days while still eating poultry and/or fish. Alternatively, you could pick what meat you like the least to cut out first. Once you've cut out one meat, move on to the next meat. For instance, once you've cut out red meat, set a timeline for pork.  Don't beat up on yourself if you mess up and eat the meat you're cutting out. It's a process you need to adjust to gradually. You can satisfy a craving, then move on. Over time, eliminate all of the meats you want to give up. As you cut out meat, make sure you're adding in more vegetables to your diet. You should also be adding in plant-based proteins, such as beans and other legumes and whole grains.  It's good to try some new vegetables right now. You may have been fairly predictable in your vegetable choices before going vegetarian, but adding in new vegetables will keep it more interesting. Try to eat vegetables instead of extra carbohydrates such as pasta or rice. While both will fill you up, if you're trying to be healthier, the vegetables are the better option. When you're transitioning, you may want to give into cravings for some less-healthy options. Maybe your craving is sugar or maybe you've got a thing for chips. While you don't want to make these foods a staple of your diet, letting yourself eat a few while you're transitioning can make it easier.  Another way to help deal with cravings is to add umami to your food. Umami is a Japanese word that describes a fifth type of taste in addition to sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It describes a savoriness that you often find in meats, but that you can also add to your vegetarian diet. For instance, using fermented condiments, such as soy sauce, liquid aminos, or vegan Worcestershire sauce, can help add umami to your food. Other options are dried mushrooms and tomatoes,...

The total amount you will pay over the course of the time you pay back a loan is the sum of the interest you pay, plus the accumulated interest.
The first step in solving a problem is to simplify the information in the parentheses.
The second step is to apply the years of the equation.
The third

Work through the problem in stages. Create your equation. Solve the inside of the parentheses first. Use N to solve the next part of the equation. Finish the equation.

In order to find the total amount you will pay over the course of the time you pay back a loan, you will have to work through the article in stages. Let’s look at an example article: ”You borrow 5,000 from a bank and plan to repay the loan principal, plus and accumulated interest in five years. The rate of the interest is 10%. How much will you pay, in total, at the end of the five years? Once you have read through the article, create an equation based on the standard equation F = P(1 + i)^N. For our question, our equation would be: F = 5000(1 + 0.1)^5. When you have written out your equation, start to solve your problem. The first step towards doing this is to solve the equation within the parentheses first. For our equation: Solve (1 + 0.1) = 1.1. So now our equation looks like this: F = 5000(1.1)^5. Once you have simplified the information in the parentheses, you should move onto applying the years (N) of the equation. This means raising the number inside the parentheses to the Nth degree. For our equation: (1.1)^5 means multiplying 1.1 to itself five times. In this case, (1.1)^5 = 1.61051. You should now only have one step left in the process of solving your equation. To finish the equation and find F, or the total amount paid, you will have to multiply P with the number in the parentheses. For our equation: F = 5000(1.61051) therefore, F = $8,052.55. That means that you would have paid $8,052.55 over the course of the five years.

The more you practice, the better you’ll get at drifting.
The first thing you need to do is find a place to practice. You can practice in your driveway, in your garage, or in a parking lot. You can practice in the street, on a highway, or in a parking lot.

Pick a manual transmission car to make drifting easier. Choose a car with rear-wheel drive for more effective drifting. Drive on worn-out tires for an easier time starting a drift.

Manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal and a gear shift you use to control the engine. Automatic cars take care of this for you. When you’re drifting, the extra control enables you to achieve the correct speed and angle required to get around a bend. When a car has rear-wheel drive, the engine controls the rear wheels only. Other cars have engines responsible for the front wheels or all 4 wheels. The rear wheels are what you need during a drift, so a car with a rear-wheel drive system is much easier to control. When choosing a car, figure out what kind of system it has by checking the owner’s manual or researching it online.  Another option is to use a 4-wheel drive car where the engine controls all 4 wheels. The best 4-wheel drive cars are ones that have stronger back wheels. You will have to test drive the car to determine which wheels adhere to the road more. Cars with front-wheel drive are very difficult to drift without a lot of practice. The front wheels control the car in order to prevent it from sliding. You end up understeering, which means the car doesn’t turn as much as you desire. Worn-out tires have less traction, so your car slides more easily when you round a bend. The front tires don’t matter as much, but using old rear tires makes a difference if your car doesn’t drift well. Try saving a spare set of tires to put on your car before you practice. Inexpensive tires, even if they are new, often can help with drifting. Many cars come equipped with automatic stability or steering control systems. Turning these systems off makes drifting much easier if a change of tires aren’t enough to make a difference. However, driving without these systems is dangerous unless you’re good at controlling the car.

Try on the shoes to see which parts need to be smaller. Dab an ill-fitting area of the shoe with water until it is damp but not saturated. Apply heat to the wet fabric with a blow dryer on the medium setting. Put on the shoe to see if the fit has improved. Use leather conditioner to protect leather and suede shoes.

Put the shoes on and stand with your feet flat on the floor, and then take a few steps. Check to see which places on the shoe aren’t touching your foot, and decide which parts need to be smaller for the shoes to fit more snugly.  If you bought the shoe in your size, you probably won’t need to shrink the entire shoe. Instead, you’re just going to be focusing on shrinking one area of the shoe at a time. For instance, you may want to make the sides of a canvas shoe slightly smaller so your foot doesn’t slip out while you walk. Dip your fingers into cool water and pat the water onto the shoe. Continue this until the fabric is damp but not dripping wet. Focus the water on the areas that are the most stretched.  Avoid getting water on the insole of the shoe, as this can cause it to become smelly, cracked, or discolored. For a leather or suede shoe, focus the water around the top edge of the shoe, which tends to be the stretchiest area.  Adding water and heat to shoes like patent leather heels, coated leather sneakers, or larger shoes, like boots, won’t be effective for shrinking them. In those cases, you’ll need to use inserts to get a better fit. Hold a blow dryer about 6 inches (15 cm) away from the area where you applied the water. Turn the dryer on and set the heat at the medium level. Leave the dryer on until the fabric is dry to the touch.  Don’t hold the blow dryer too close to the fabric. The concentrated heat from the dryer discolor lighter canvas fabrics. For leather and suede, continuously move the dryer around the top edge of the shoe to heat the leather, causing it to contract and shrink. If the leather starts to smell or crack while you’re applying heat, turn the blow dryer off and let the shoes air dry. Once the area is dry, put the shoe back on your fut and stand up with your feet flat on the floor. Take a few steps to see if the the fabric feels tighter. If it does, your shoe has shrunk.  If it still feels loose, re-apply the water to the area and continue blow drying. If they feel too tight, wear...

Drop a subtle, audible hint about being quiet. Ask them to be quiet. Use nonverbal methods to get people to keep it down. Be considerate if the loud patron is a child.

Instead of yelling at the person or group that's getting on your nerves, make some small noise that will help them get the point that what they're doing isn't appreciated. If they're constantly chatting while you're looking for a book, try clearing your throat or coughing softly. Hopefully this will help quiet them down. Try not to shush them loudly in a way that would seem condescending. This might make them want to continue being loud because you tried to embarrass them. If someone is truly bothering you with their noise, just go up to them and kindly, in a calm voice, ask them to lower their voice. Sometimes just bringing it to their attention that they are being disruptive is all it will take to make them change their behavior. Try using one of these examples:  “I’m sorry to be a bother, but would you mind keeping it down a bit?” “Hi. I hate to be that person, but I have a big test tomorrow that I’m trying to study for and I’d really appreciate it if you could tone it down a bit. Thanks!” “Would you mind moving to a different location? This is a quiet work space. Thank you!” Most people understand that libraries are meant to be a quiet place. A meaningful glance in their direction should give them a hint that a lack of silence isn't appreciated in such an environment. Don’t glare at them or make a mean face. This will only make the situation worse. Try to be understanding if it's children that won't calm down. Infants and toddlers obviously don’t have the same kind of self-control adults do and it is very likely that their parents are just as frustrated about the situation as you are – and probably embarrassed by their child’s behavior too! If you must, ask the parents or caregivers to get the kids to calm down. Generally, don't try to talk to the kids directly. This will probably scare and creep them out or anger their parents since you not only scared their children, you also tried to discipline their kids.

Show the toy mouse to your cat. Toss the toy mouse. Encourage your cat to bring the toy mouse back to you. Toss the toy mouse again. Toss the toy further away. Keep your training sessions short.

Begin your training session by holding the toy mouse in front of your cat. Stand a few feet back from her so that she cannot easily reach out and grab the toy. If you are training her during her playtime, she will likely already be attentive to you and the toy.  If she is keeping herself busy with something else, or is in a different room, you will probably need to call her to you. Reward her with a treat when she comes to you after being called. Toss the toy mouse two to three feet in front of you. It is important to start with small throwing distances when your cat is first learning the trick. You can increase the distance as your cat becomes more skilled with fetching the toy mouse.  An alternative to throwing the toy is to attaching it to a string. You can sling the stringed toy towards your cat, then pull it back when your cat has a hold of the toy.  Remove the toy from the string as your cat begins to understand the motion of catching the toy and bringing it back to you.  It may be helpful to give your cat verbal cues—'fetch' when you toss the toy mouse and 'good fetch' when she brings it back to you—during your training sessions. Your cat may not bring the toy mouse back to you the first time you throw it—she may not understand that you are teaching her how to fetch. If this happens, try enticing her with a treat in your hand to get her to walk to back to you with the toy.  Reward her with the treat and verbal praise when she brings it back to you. When your cat sees the treat, she may drop the toy before she walks back to you. In this case, do not give her a treat. Instead, walk to her, pick up the toy, and walk back to your original position. Wait to toss the toy mouse until your cat has come back to you. When you toss it again, reward her if she brings it back to you. Keep in mind that you may have to pick up the toy mouse yourself several times before your cat understands that she is supposed to bring it back to you.  Toss the toy in the same direction each time that you toss it. Your cat will...

Wash your laundry early or late at night if you want less of a wait. Look for an open laundry machine. Wait or come back later if all the machines are full. Fill the laundry machine so it's two-thirds of the way full. Add laundry detergent to the machine. Choose cold water if you don't want your clothes to shrink or fade. Pay and press the start button. Set a timer for when your laundry will be done. Remove your laundry from the machine promptly.

Those are times when other students will be sleeping, so the laundry room won’t be as busy. If you have an early class, wake up an hour or two early and try to get your laundry done then. Or you can wait to do your laundry late at night before you go to bed. If you see a machine that’s currently on or one that has someone’s clothes in it, don’t use it. Wait until there’s an empty machine available. If you’re doing more than one load, try to find several available machines that are all next to each other. That way you can do multiple loads at once. Look at the timers on the machines to see how long of a wait it will be. Keep in mind that if you leave, the machines might still be full when you come back later. You may have better luck getting a machine if you hang out in the laundry room until one is available. Don’t overfill it or your laundry won’t wash properly. Fill the machine with a load of your lights or darks. Wash your towels and bedding separately. If you have liquid detergent, look for a slot on top of the machine that says “detergent.” If there isn’t one, pour your detergent directly into the machine with your laundry. Refer to the lines on the inside of the cap to see how much detergent you should use. You'll need less liquid detergent for smaller loads. If you’re using a gel detergent pod, throw 1 pod directly into the machine with your clothes. There should be a dial or button on the machine you can use to select the water temperature setting. If you’re washing whites, towels, or bedding, you may want to use hot water. Hot water will clean your clothes better than cold water, but it can be more damaging. If you’re not sure, go with cold water. Cold water is less likely to damage or alter your clothes. There should be coin slots on the top or side of the washing machine if the machine takes quarters. If there aren’t, look for a slot to insert cash or swipe a card. Once you’ve paid, hit the start button so your clothes start to wash. That way you’ll know right when your laundry is ready.

If you’re a new parent, you’re going to have to learn how to change diapers. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s going to be worth it.
This entry was posted in Parenting and tagged diaper, diaper changing, diaper changing tips, diaper

Bring the clean diaper into position. Fasten the new diaper. Take the child off the changing surface and clean up.

Take the front half of the clean diaper by the side tabs and bring it up to your child’s waist. You’ll want to make sure that the sides are not too tight, and that the ruffle is facing out around the leg to prevent leaks (which can lead to chafing and diaper rash).  If your child is male, direct his penis towards his feet to prevent him from urinating over the diaper and onto himself. When your child is a newborn, position the diaper so that it doesn’t cover the umbilical cord stump. There are special diapers made for newborns with folds in this specific place. Before fastening the diaper, make sure their legs are spread and there’s as much space as possible. Doing this will avoid bunching in advance. Use the tabs on both halves and stick them together to fasten the new diaper. Again, make sure the fit is such that it’s not too tight but isn’t about to fall off. Check to see if there’s any bunching before replacing their clothing. Once they’ve got their clothing back on, check to see if they look comfortable as one last check of the diaper’s fit. Make sure their mobility is as it should be. Once the new diaper is secured, move your child from the changing surface to a safe area where they can be left unattended, such as their playpen. Then return to your changing area to clean up whatever has been left behind. If you can, disinfect the changing surface after every use. Wash your hands and the child’s hands with soap and water immediately afterward to rid yourselves of any lingering mess or associated bacteria.
