Strive to end suffering. Live according to the Noble Eightfold Path. Try to put an end to wanting and craving. Continue learning. Aspire for nirvana.

The basis of Buddhist teaching is something called the Four Noble Truths, which are based on the idea that suffering is an intrinsic part of life, but that suffering can be ended by breaking the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. From the four truths come the Four Great Bodhisattva Vows, which are a path that can help you end suffering.  The first noble truth is the truth of suffering. The first bodhisattva vow is the vow to rescue living beings from suffering. In Buddhism, suffering refers to the physical and mental suffering of all human beings. The key to ending suffering is reaching nirvana, which can be done by living according to the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way). The two staples at the center of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths can be understood as the belief behind Buddhism, and the Noble Eightfold Path is the discipline and practice behind that belief. Living according to the Noble Eightfold Path includes:  Right speech, action, and livelihood. The key to following these three elements involve living according to the Five Precepts. Right effort, mindfulness, and concentration, which can be achieved by practicing meditation. Right understanding and thought, which come about when you practice meditation, cultivate mindfulness, and live according to the Five Precepts. The second noble truth is a recognition of the cause of suffering, which comes from desire, ignorance, and the craving of pleasure and material goods. The corresponding bodhisattva vow involves vowing to end desire and craving. Buddhist don't believe that suffering and desire can be ended easily. Rather, this is a pursuit that spans many lifetimes, but you can do your part by following the Noble Eightfold Path. The third noble truth is the understanding that suffering can end, and this means suffering both in life and in spiritual terms. The answer to the end of suffering is learning, enlightenment, and action. The corresponding vow for the third noble truth is to...

Determine face shape. Get detailed instructions for the particular cut you plan to make. Familiarize yourself with terminology.

A hairstyle should work with a person's face shape and complement his or her features.  Oval.  An oval face shape is considered to be the one shape that can wear any type of style. Round.  A layered top that provides fullness and height and thinned out hair below the cheekbones all work to lengthen the look of the face and give the illusion of a narrower chin line. Heart shape.  Go for a style that offers more fullness lower on the face and less fullness at the forehead. Square.  The idea here is to soften the face so wispy bangs and wavy styles help to create this effect.  It's best to avoid straight lines, straight bangs and straight or flat hair for this face shape. Oblong.  Avoid flat, long straight hair because this will make the face look even longer. Consider a bang, especially a side-swept bang to create the illusion of a shorter forehead for the person with this longer face shape. Diamond. Choose a cut with lots of layers. Avoid bangs unless you go with a slightly off-center curtain bang. You don't want to "wing it" when it comes to creating a hairstyle.  Learn as much as you can about how to do a specific type of cut before you attempt it.  Watch online videos.  Check YouTube and websites dedicated to hair for videos that depict the steps involved in creating the hairstyle you've chosen.  Be sure the person who is doing the demonstration is an experienced stylist. Page through hair style magazines.  Some magazines offer tutorials with photos that will show you how to do your cut. Check out sites belonging to hair product companies.  Companies that produce and/or sell hair products often include "how-to's" on their websites.   Instagram and Pinterest are also great for inspiration. You need to understand some of the specialized terms stylists use when talking about cutting hair so that you can follow instructions more easily.

Pair a black skirt with a button-up shirt for an easy work outfit. Tuck a blouse into a pencil skirt for a classic look. Wear a blazer over your skirt to mimic a skirt suit. Wear a pair of tights if you're concerned about showing off skin. Pick classic dress shoes or booties to complete your look. Keep your accessories to a minimum.

A tailored button-up shirt pairs well with a black pencil skirt, a-line, or midi skirt for a simple office look. Choose a plain colored shirt or a simple pattern, like polka dots or stripes. Tuck the shirt into your skirt so it looks polished. Consider wearing a belt over the waist of your skirt to pull the look together. For instance, you might wear a wide belt with a button-up shirt and a-line skirt. Both short-sleeved and long-sleeved blouses look great with a pencil skirt. Choose a solid color blouse if you're going for a polished look, or wear a fun print if your office culture encourages creative expression.  For example, you might wear a red silk blouse with your pencil skirt if you're going for a conservative look. As another option, you might wear a floral print or polka dot blouse for a professional look that's fun. Pick a basic black blazer for a polished all-black look. As another option, choose a blazer in a bold color to get noticed. Wear your blazer over a camisole, silk blouse, or button-up shirt.  For example, you might wear a black blazer over a white button-up shirt and a pencil skirt for a style that's both feminine and masculine. As another option, pair a pale blue blazer with a white camisole and black a-line skirt for a fresh look. You don't necessarily need to wear tights with a work look. However, you might decide to wear them if you don't like exposing your legs at work or your workplace culture is a bit conservative. Choose black or solid-color tights to complement a work outfit. During spring and summer, stick to sheer black or colored tights. During the fall and winter, pick opaque tights for more warmth. Ballet flats, pumps, kitten heels, and ankle boots are all great for a work look. If your outfit features neutral colors, you might add a pop of color or a print with a fun shoe. However, stick to a neutral shoe if your top is a fun color or print. Additionally, pick shoes that are comfortable enough for you to wear them all day.

Avoid brushing wet hair. Avoid using hot tools. Avoid damaging hair treatments.

Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your damp hair. Since hair is more fragile when it’s wet, brushing your hair with the bristles of a brush increases the chances of breaking your hair. If you do brush your hair, brush your hair when it’s dry, and use a boar bristled brush. Boar bristled brushes do a good job of bringing hair oils from the top of your head downward, effectively moisturizing dry ends. The temperature from styling tools can cause heat damage to your hair. Try styling your hair in other ways that don’t require you to use a blow dryer, flat iron, or curler. Consider styling your hair in braids, buns, or twists so you can give your hair a break from the heat. If you must use hot tools to tame your hair, consider lowering the heat settings. Some hot tool heat settings go all the way up to 450°, which is significantly high considering water only has to reach 210° to boil. Any kind of chemical hair treatment (including dye jobs, highlighting, lowlighting, perms, relaxers, etc.) causes damage to your hair. This chemical damage can, in turn, cause your hair to become fragile and dry. If you can, avoid chemical treatments altogether, especially if your hair has had more than one treatment at a time.  Giving your hair a break from the chemicals will allow your natural hair to grow out which should be healthier and more hydrated. If you must dye your hair, consider using a dye with either low amounts of ammonia, or no ammonia at all.

Get excited about your plans for the day. Let the sun shine in. Drink a big glass of water.  Brush your teeth Read an article or two. Move your body. Have breakfast.

Remember when you were a little kid, and you'd hop up as soon as your eyes opened in the morning? Back then you were carefree and happy to get up and begin all the fun activities the day held in store. It's harder to get out of bed when you aren't looking forward to going to work or school, but if you focus on the good things that will happen that day, you'll be able to wake yourself up faster. So, always look forward for a bright day. Try it tomorrow: as soon as you wake up, think about the best thing about the day, and let your heart race a bit in anticipation.  This is easy to do on your birthday and fun holidays, but you'll have to get creative to wake up with a smile on rainy gray Mondays. Even if you don't have a big event to anticipate, think about the little things that make you happy on a daily basis: walking your dog. Drinking that first cup of coffee. An alternative to coffee is chocolate, (flavonoids) especially 70% cocoa and darker, but if eaten too late in the day sleep deprivation may occur. Talking on the phone with your best friend after a hard day's work. Getting your favorite takeout on the way home. Whatever it is, think about it first thing when you wake up. Does your room get natural light in the morning? If not, you're missing out on nature's most effective wake-up call. When the sun streams through your windows in the morning, your brain naturally knows it's time to start moving. But if you have blackout curtains and don't get decent light in the AM, you're going to feel groggy until you go outside.  If you have thick curtains to block out lights from the street, try getting shades in neutral colors that effectively block most artificial light, but still let your room brighten up when the sun rises. You may also try waking up early and actually watching the sun rise. This gives you some time alone in the morning before the pressures of the day start. Watch the sun rise from your window, or take a walk outside early to clear your head. Going 8 hours without drinking water (while you're...

Use the oil after a manicure. Put it on whenever you have free time. Apply the oil before bedtime.

Cuticle oil is a great way to rehydrate your cuticles after a manicure. The oil will not harm or remove the nail polish. Additionally, cuticle oil is a great way to revamp an old manicure. Just massage the oil over your cuticles and nails to give them a fresh shine. Do not use it before a manicure. The oil will prevent the nail polish from adhering to your nail. If you do decide to use it before a manicure, then make sure to wipe your nails clean with nail polish remover or alcohol. Apply the oil whenever you are riding the bus or sitting in a taxicab, at your work desk, or on the couch while watching TV, for example. Basically, whenever you have some downtime. Apply cuticle oil twice a day, or more if you need to. This is a great way to ensure that your cuticles stay hydrated and nourished for the coming day. Just remember to be persistent and consistent to keep your cuticles looking healthy.

Learn the causes of eversion. Identify out-toeing symptoms. Pay attention to your body. See your doctor. Undergo further testing. Receive treatment.

Eversion is most common in younger children, though even in these cases it is still relatively uncommon. There are many different causes of eversion and learning about them may help you identify if you have a problem and get help in a timely manner. Causes of eversion include:  Flat feet, or pes planus External tibial torsion, or an outward twisting of the leg bone Hip contracture, or externally rotated hips Femoral retroversion, or having a thighbone (femur) that is angled backwards. Beyond having feet that point in a “V-shape,” people who have eversion exhibit other signs or symptoms. By identifying potential symptoms, you may be able to get a definitive diagnosis and timely treatment. Some symptoms of eversion include:  Functional difficulties, including walking. Pain around the front of the knee.  Hip tightness.  Hip or lower back pain. Discomfort may also be present in your neck and head as your body tries to maintain a straight posture.  Weakness in the knees, ankles, or hips. Whenever you are walking, running, or doing other types of exercise, notice if you experience any pain or unusual sensations. This can help you identify potential problems and get help minimize the risk of developing a more serious problem.  Note any symptoms you have, when they start and how severe they are. Be aware of anything that relieves your V-shaped walk or makes related pain go away. If you have pronounced symptoms and/ or pain, or attempts to correct your gait don’t seem to be successful, schedule an appointment with your doctor. She can assess your walk, make a definitive diagnosis, and prescribe proper treatment for your V-shaped walk.  Tell your doctor when you first noticed your walk or if you’ve always had it. Explain any pain or other symptoms you have. Allow your doctor to examine your walk or your lower body to help make an assessment of what is causing your V-shaped walk. Your doctor may also prescribe tests to better view your bones and muscles, which could also help her make a more definitive diagnosis and...

Empty the pan if it’s full of water. Wipe the drip pan clean with a bleach solution. Scrub the pan with a cleaning rag to remove any buildup or mold. Rinse the drip pan under warm water to remove any cleaner. Dry the drip pan before reinstalling it.

While the heat from inside your fridge should cause the water in the drip pan to evaporate, there still may be standing water inside it. Pour the water down your sink drain to get rid of it. After emptying the drip pan, set it in your sink so you can start cleaning. You can also remove standing water by using a wet/dry vacuum. Mix 1 part bleach with 2 parts warm water in a clean spray bottle and shake it up so it’s thoroughly mixed. Spray the drip pan so it’s completely wet and let the bleach solution sit on the surface for 2-3 minutes. Spray extra cleaner on any mold or mildew you see building up on the drip pan to help loosen it and disinfect the area. The bleach may change the color of your drip pan if it’s not originally white. After a few minutes pass, wipe the inside of the drip pan with a cleaning rag to remove the cleaner. Work from one side of the drip pan to the other so you don’t spread any mold around. Apply a firm amount of pressure while you scrub the drip pan to break apart any built-up residue. You can also use paper towels if you don’t want to get any mold on fabric cleaning rags. Hold the drip pan under your faucet and let warm water run over it. Rinse the entire drip pan so there isn’t any cleaner left on the surface. Use another rag or sponge to wipe it off if there’s still any residue still on it. Use a cleaning towel or paper towels to wipe the pan dry. Make sure there aren’t any water droplets on the pan or else it could develop mold again when you reinstall it. Once the drip pan is dry to the touch, slide it back into your fridge and replace the panels so you can use it again. You can also let the drip pan air-dry for 30 minutes instead.

Water your soil in the morning. Water your soil manually 2-3 times a week. Use sprinklers instead of watering by hand. Use a drip irrigation system for more consistent moisture.

Watering your soil when the sun is out will cause it to evaporate quicker, which is why watering it in the morning is better. If you are trying to boost water retention, water it first thing in the morning. Watering your soil in the morning also prevents plants from catching diseases. On average, your soil should get 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of water each week. If your soil is drying out, water it with a garden hose or watering can. Press your finger 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) into the surface of the soil. If it feels dry under the surface, you know you need to water it more.  Your soil should feel moist by the touch but shouldn’t be overly saturated. If your soil is muddy, you know you’re overwatering it. Use a gardening hose on larger lawns. Keep in mind that certain plants will need more or less watering. Research the water needs of the plants you have to make sure you're not giving them too much or too little water. A programmed sprinkler system will enable you to water your soil on a regular schedule. This is especially useful if you aren’t around to water the soil yourself. Program your sprinkler system to provide the appropriate amount of water to your soil.  If you notice the sprinklers are oversaturating the soil, reduce how long they stay on or install a water sensor that will automatically turn them off once your soil reaches a certain saturation level. Sprinklers are inefficient when it's over 90 °F (32 °C) out because the water often evaporates before it is absorbed into the soil. A drip irrigation system is made up of a system of tubes connected to a water source. This method is typically more effective than using a sprinkler system because the water is delivered directly to the soil. Hire a professional to install the system or purchase a drip irrigation kit and put it together yourself.

Warm the weak, newborn puppy. Take the puppy's temperature. Help the puppy nurse. Increase the weak puppy's blood sugar. Supplement the puppy's milk supply. Feed the puppy on a regular basis. Stimulate the puppy's need to go to the bathroom. Take the puppy to a veterinarian.

If you’ve determined a puppy in the litter needs special care, the first move is to make sure it is warm enough. A cold puppy is not able to nurse and can become dangerously dehydrated and hypoglycemic, which means having life-threatening low blood sugar.  Warming can be accomplished by using a hot water bottle filled with very warm water, 'not' boiling water, placed in the bottom of a small cardboard box or shoe box and covering it with a towel. The puppy can then be placed on the towel, covered with a light cloth or towel and the top of the box can be lightly closed. Alternatively, you can place the puppy on your chest under your clothing until it warms up. You may want to wrap the rear end in a clean piece of cloth so you're not urinated or pooped on! Puppy's tiny claws will be sharp as well, so be prepared for a few scratches. Using a heating pad is dangerous, as they can overheat a puppy. Even on the lowest setting, a heating pad can become dangerously hot. You want to gradually warm the puppy over a course of one to three hours. Warming any more rapidly can cause overheating. There are heating pads made specifically for animals, and these usually don't get as hot. The puppy must not be placed directly on this pad — you must use a towel or fleecy cover between the pad and the puppy in order to avoid thermal burns. If the puppy is open-mouth panting, she is too hot. After you think the puppy is warmed you should use a pediatric digital thermometer to take the puppy’s temperature rectally. Place a small amount of lubricant on the tip and gently insert the very tip into the pup’s rectum.  If the body temperature is below 94 °F (34.4 °C) the gastrointestinal tract will not work properly. However, don’t let the rectal temperature get over 99 °F (37.2 °C) in a puppy less than seven days or overheating can occur. Write the temperature in the same notebook or spreadsheet in which you are recording the weight. Once the puppy is warmed and active, it is time to feed it.

Consider your time horizon. Think about your risk tolerance level. Change your asset allocation when necessary.

Your financial time horizon is a set date, usually months, years or even decades in the future, at which time you will achieve your financial goal. A common time horizon is a retirement date. If you have a longer time horizon, you may feel more comfortable taking on riskier financial decisions. If your time horizon is relatively short, you may need to minimize risk.  An example of a shorter time horizon would be a teenager saving for his college education, or someone in their 50s planning for retirement. Long-term investors should be willing (and able) to "ride out" the low points of financial return, i.e., periods when their assets have lost value. Holding an asset longer doesn't necessarily result in increased value. Your risk tolerance is based on your ability — financial as well as emotional — to lose much of your original investment in exchange for greater potential returns.  Your risk tolerance will change over the course of your lifetime, though your temperament may not. Someone with a higher risk tolerance may take on more aggressive (and risky) investments, while someone with a lower risk threshold will be happier with a less risky investment, even if it results in lower returns. Think of your risk tolerance level in terms of sleep — anything that  causes you to worry and lose sleep at night should be avoided. If there's an investment that keeps you up at night worrying, then you've taken a bigger risk than you're currently prepared to take. If your time horizon changes, or your life circumstances alter your risk tolerance level, you may wish to change the manner in which you allocate your assets. This is known as "rebalancing" and it occurs when your investments are no longer in line with your investment goals. Many investors choose to readjust their investments on an annual or semi-annual basis.  Rebalancing may trigger transaction fees or tax consequences. Avoid changing your asset allocation based on performance. Remember that if a given asset isn't doing well, it will likely increase in value in...

Hidden regulations govern all sorts of food items, so you need to be very careful about checking for your state's laws. Washington state, for instance, does not allow eggs to be sold in used containers, but Idaho does. Pets are commonly sold, but you need to make sure they're registered and legal animals.

You can use a fly swatter to catch flies, but you can also use a vacuum

Use a vacuum for a quick way to catch flies in a room. Set out a dish soap trap if you need to lure out flies. Create a funnel trap to prevent smaller flies from escaping. Hang flypaper if you need to prevent flies from landing. Install a fly zapper for a reusable trap that kills flies.

Flies are very hard to catch with a regular flyswatter, but you can easily trap them with a vacuum. Put a hose attachment on your vacuum, point it at a fly, and watch it get sucked up. It's simple to use and stops you from having to run around all day trying to swat these quick pests. If you don't have a good vacuum, you could also get an electrified fly swatter. It is way more effective than a regular one and works outdoors as well. Once you get close to a fly, the electricity stuns it so you can get rid of it. Choose a shallow container with a wide opening, such as a small saucer or glass, so that those nasty flies go straight for the bait. Pour in at least 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of apple cider vinegar, then add about 3 drops of any liquid dish detergent. The soap breaks the surface tension so the flies can't get out once they fall in. The vinegar is the bait, and the apple cider scent attracts plenty of flies. If you don't have apple cider vinegar handy, make sure you have a fruit-flavored dish soap. Replace the vinegar with an equal amount of water. House flies and fruit flies can't resist a sweet treat. After adding at least 1⁄3  c (79 mL) of water into a mason jar or a tall glass, mix in 1 US tsp, or about 4 g, of sugar. Set a plastic funnel on top of the jar. Then, watch as your unwanted house guests crawl in without being able to get out.  Sugary foods and drinks make for great bait if you don't have sugar. Try using honey, wine, or even some decaying fruit. You could also add yeast to help bring in the flies. To make your own funnel, cut a piece of paper into a circle, then cut a wedge out of one side. Fold the cut ends together to create a cone with about a 0.39 in (0.99 cm) bottom opening. Tape the ends together to hold the cone in place. Another way to make a cone is by cutting a soda bottle in half. Put the bait in the bottom portion. Remove the cap from the top portion, turn it upside down, and insert it into the bottom portion. Flypaper comes in strips you hang from exposed areas where flies land,...

Hold a plank position for 5-10 seconds at a time to strengthen your back. Stretch your hip flexors for 15 seconds. Repeat bridges for 1-2 sets of 10 reps to build core strength. Do a set of 10 abdominal crunches to strengthen your core. Hold a child’s pose stretch for 30 seconds to open your hips.

Start lying down on your stomach, and prop your body up on your forearms and toes. Make sure that your feet are parallel to each other. Raise your hips and keep your head and neck straight so that you create a straight line from head to toe. Hold this pose for 5-10 seconds, and repeat the exercise 8-10 times.  If you struggle with your plank initially, gently touch your knees to the ground. Keep your core engaged. Use your knees to stabilize you, but not to hold your weight. Planks help strengthen your core and lower back, the muscles responsible for keeping your back straight. Start in a standing position with a straight spine and your arms sitting gently on your hips. Step one foot forward, bending at the knee and keeping both feet pointing forward. Keep your back leg straight and your buttock tucked. Push forward on your front leg until you feel a stretch in your back leg.  Hold the stretch for 15 seconds on each leg. Repeat the stretch 3-5 times a day, or whenever your hips feel tight. You should feel a stretch, but there shouldn't be any pain. If you feel painful pulling in your muscles, stop immediately. This helps open your hips to promote proper posture, which will slowly help minimize your lordosis. For a bridge, start by lying on your back with your knees bent so that your feet are flat on the floor. Keep your palms and forearms next to your torso, pushing into the floor. Push your buttocks off the floor, lifting them as high as possible while keeping your arms, shoulders, and neck flat on the ground.  Hold each bridge for 5-10 seconds before lowering your buttocks down slowly. Rest for 5-10 seconds before repeating the exercise. Always check your body alignment before you start the exercise.

Axis II: Personality disorder (ex: borderline personality disorder) or intellectual disability Axis III: Medical problems (only MDs can diagnose these) Axis IV: Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Axis V: Global assessment of functioning (GAF) is a numerical rating on a scale of 0 - 100 of the client's current functioning with the life stressors he or she presents with. A GAF score of 91-100 means the patient is high functioning and easily managing the stressors in his or her life. A GAF score of 1-10 indicates that the patient is a danger to himself and/or others. Your recommendations should be based on your narrative summary and assessment. Your treatment goals must be measurable with specific time frames for completion.   Compile a list of treatment goals. Examples:reducing risk factors, decreasing functional impairment.  Indicate planned preventions with patient participation. Examples would be anger management, parent training, problem solving. Your assessment should conclude with a statement about the patient's understanding of the course of treatment and its goals. This portion of the assessment shows that the patient is aware of the decided course of treatment and is willing to work with it.  Patients report better outcomes to their treatment when they're in agreement with their practitioners about the course of treatment.  Ensure effective interventions by implementing a negotiations process between patient and mental health care provider.

Set up a writing spot in your home that is for writing only.
The first step to writing is to get started. You can start by writing a few sentences about what you want to write about. You can write about a topic that you are interested in or a topic that you are passionate about. You can write

Find a quiet, secluded area to write. Make your writing area ergonomic. Eliminate distractions around you.

Choose a writing spot that is in a quiet, secluded area in your home. This could be a desk in your bedroom, a table in your living room, or a secluded spot in your school library. Go for a spot that has little to no foot traffic and is barely used by others. You may set up an area to write if you do not already have access to a table or a desk. Set up a desk in your bedroom that is for writing only or put a table in the basement of your home and use it as your writing spot. To ensure your writing area is comfortable, make it ergonomic. Get a desk chair that supports your lower back. Adjust your desk chair so your feet can lie flat comfortably on the floor and your lower back is straight. If you are typing on a computer, make sure the monitor is 20 to 40 inches (50-100 centimeters) from your face. The monitor should be eye level and you should be able to see the screen without having to squint or strain your eyes. You should also make sure your keyboard is at the right height so your wrists are not strained when you type. Keep your mouse near your keyboard so you can reach it easily. One of the biggest hinderance to writing is getting distracted by things and people around you. Turn off your cellphone or switch it to silent so you are not distracted by phone calls or text messages. Keep your door closed and wear noise cancelling headphones, especially if it is noisy around you.  You may also shut off your internet connection so you are not distracted by social media or online news. Restricting yourself to certain websites can be helpful if you need resources like an online dictionary. If you live with other people, let them know you are writing and that you are not be disturbed.

Provide your horse with plenty of fresh, clean water. Provide your horse with plenty of structural carbohydrates. Provide your horse with nonstructural carbohydrates in moderation. Supplement your horse’s diet with feed to provide protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Supplement as needed. Give treats in moderation.

Horses require between 5-15 gallons of water per day. If possible, make sure that your horse has access to water at all times. Otherwise, make sure that you water your horse at least twice per day and allow several minutes for your horse to drink. Make sure that the water in your horse’s trough is clean and not frozen. Keep the trough clean as well by hosing it out every day. Structural carbohydrates, like hay and grass, are essential to a horse’s diet. Horses eat large quantities of hay and grass as their main source of food. In fact, horses should eat about 15-20 pounds or 1-2% of their body weight in hay every day, so make sure that your horse always has plenty of hay to chew on. Make sure that the hay you feed your horse is free of mold and dust. Nonstructural carbohydrates, like oats, corn, and barley, are also essential to a horse’s nutrition. Provide small amounts of grain to your horse throughout the day. Every day, horses can also have ½ pound of grain per 100 pounds of body weight. Feed grain to your horse in two or three evenly spaced feedings during the day.  Make sure to measure the portions that you feed your horse to make sure that you are giving her the correct amount.  If the weather is hot, feed grain to your horse during the cooler hours of the day, such as early in the morning and later in the evening. Although your horse will get most of its calories from hay and grass, you should feed your horse some fortified feed each day to help meet any nutritional gaps. Protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals are important parts of your horse’s nutrition, but they are not required in large amounts. If you think your horse is not getting all of the necessary vitamins and minerals from feed, then you can supplement with special vitamins for horses. Just be careful not to overload your horse with too many vitamins. An excess of vitamins can cause problems just like a deficiency of vitamins can. Giving treats to your horse when you want to reward her is a great way to bond with your horse as well. Just...

You can make slime with food coloring, eyeshadow, and glitter.
This is a very simple slime recipe. It’s easy to make, and it’s fun to play with. You can make slime with any color you like. You can also add food coloring to make it more colorful.

Add a drop of food coloring to your slime and knead it in. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 g) of color pigment into your slime.

Choose any color you like to add to your slime. Add 1 drop directly onto the slime. Then, knead the food coloring into the slime with your hands. Keep kneading until the color is distributed evenly throughout the slime. Add another drop to make the color more noticeable. You can use 1 color or combine colors. For example, you could make blue slime with a drop of blue food coloring, or use a drop of blue and red food coloring for purple slime. You can use a special color pigment meant for making slime, or use powdered eyeshadow. Measure out 1 teaspoon (about 5 g) of the color pigment of your choice. Then, knead the pigment into your slime until the pigment is distributed evenly throughout the slime.  Add more pigment if needed to achieve the desired color. You can use any pigment or eyeshadow color you like to color your slime. Try purple pigment or eyeshadow for purple slime, or a glittery charcoal pigment or eyeshadow for sparkly black slime.

Adriana is in great shape. She has to be. She's a Victoria's Secret model. She hired a professional nutritionist, though, to help her lose 50 pounds after she gave birth to her daughter.  Buy a scale. Hold yourself accountable for what you eat and how you let yourself go.  She thinks high-intensity workouts are best. She likes to sweat and to jump rope.  Ten minutes of jumping rope equals 35 minutes of running. She says you can burn 1,000 calories per hour long jumping rope session. To look as fit as Adriana, you have to clean up your diet. Eat a lot of steamed or raw vegetables, especially green ones like kale and broccoli. Season them with olive oil and sea salt.   She doesn't snack. But if you must, eat fruit. She suggests blackberries and blueberries. She eats green vegetables usually, steamed or raw. Things like asparagus and spinach. Eat every two to three hours. Drink at least two quarts of water daily. Take supplemental vitamins. If you get hungry, try a rice bar. When she's about to go on a show, she works out twice a day with a personal trainer. She jumps rope, boxes, and lifts weights.   She also sees a nutritionist who measured her body's muscle mass and levels of water retention. She drinks protein shakes, vitamins and supplements. She drinks a gallon of water every day. For nine days before the show, she drinks only protein shakes that include powder egg. She was once quoted as saying that, two days before a fashion show, she stops drinking extra water. However, she claimed she was misquoted. Not only is this dangerous, but it's not Adriana's look, either. She stresses to her trainers that she wants to retain some curves.

Fold sweaters rather than hanging them. Take precautions if you must hang sweaters. Hand wash your sweaters.

You should fold your sweaters and store them in drawers rather than hanging them. Hanging sweaters can stretch out portions of the sweater. It can also leave small humps at the shoulders. If possible, fold your sweaters rather than hanging them. If you need to hang your sweaters, take certain precautions. Use thick, padded hangers to provide more support. This can help prevent stretching. You may also want to fold your sweater over and hang it from the bottom bar of a hanger. The bottom bar may provide more support, preventing stretching. You can cut open an empty paper towel tube and then fit it over the bottom bar of a hanger. This may help prevent creasing. If possible, you should always hand wash your sweaters. Hand wash them in cold water with a small amount of fabric softener and detergent. Rinse thoroughly, making sure to get all the suds out. When removing excess water before drying, press the sweater. Do not squeeze or wring it. Fold the sweater in half and hang it over the bottom bar of a hanger on a drying rack to dry.

Use a brush or comb to eliminate tangles and knots. Even if you choose to do a messy fishtail, you won't want any snags. Brush your hair back, away from your forehead and behind your head. For a polished look and to prevent flyaways, try finger-combing a smoothing serum through your hair before you get started. Hair can be dry or wet, though it can be easier to braid wet hair if yours is curly or wavy.  If your hair is fine or layered, use a little styling cream or gel to keep hair from slipping out of the pleat. For a messier look, you can forget the brush and finger-comb your hair, but be certain you still get out any snags. Work a little styling product in for texture. For a side braid, brush your hair to the side, over your shoulder.

Put the fabric in the dye bath. Stir the fabric in the dye bath periodically with a metal utensil. Let the fabric soak in the dye bath for 30-60 minutes. Dump the dye bath out in a sink or bathtub.

Make sure the fabric is completely submerged in the bath. Press down on the fabric using a long metal utensil, like a spatula or spoon, to get out any air bubbles that are trapped in the fabric. As you're stirring it, turn the fabric over in the container and unfold it with the utensil. That way all of the fabric will be exposed to the dye. The longer you let the fabric soak in the dye bath, the darker the final color will be. Make sure you let the fabric soak for at least 30 minutes or the dye may not stick to the fabric. Once all the dye is down the drain, leave the piece of fabric in the sink or tub. Avoid dumping the dye bath out outside.

If you have an iPad, you can connect it to a TV with an HDMI or VGA port.  If you don't have an iPad, you can still connect it to a TV with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable.  If you have an iPad, you can connect it

Find an available HDMI port on your TV. Purchase the correct adapter for your iPad. Connect the adapter to your iPad's charging port. Connect an HDMI cable to your TV's HDMI port. Connect the other end of the HDMI or VGA cable to your adapter. Switch your TV to the correct input. Open an app on your iPad.

HDMI ports are usually labeled "HDMI," and are rectangular (like a USB port) with a tapered bottom edge. You'll usually find one or two on the back of the TV.  If you don't have an HDMI port, look for a VGA port. VGA ports are also rectangular but have 3 rows of small circles. HDMI transmits audio, but VGA does not. If you have to use VGA, you can still hear audio through the TV by connecting the iPad to its headphone port. You'll need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable that can run from your iPad's headphone jack to the TV. If your iPad doesn't have a headset jack, you'll also need a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. As long as your TV has either an HDMI or VGA port, you can connect your iPad to it with a compatible adapter. The exact adapter you'll need depends on the type of port that's on your iPad:  If you're using an iPad (4th generation or later), iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro, you'll need a Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or a Lighting to VGA Adapter (VGA). The Lightning port is the small oval port at the bottom of the tablet. If you have an iPad 1, iPad 2, or iPad 3, you'll need an Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or Apple 30-pin to VGA adapter (VGA). The 30-pin port is the wide oval at the bottom of the tablet. The adapter should fit securely into the same port you use to charge your iPad. If you're using VGA, connect the VGA cable to the VGA port instead. Your iPad should now be connected to the TV. Depending on your TV, you may have to use the remote control to select the HDMI or VGA port you're using. The button on the remote is usually labeled "Source" or "Input." Once you get to the right input, you should see your iPad's screen on the television. If you're using a VGA adapter and want to hear sound from the TV, connect the 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio aux cable (and adapter, if necessary) to your iPad, and then plug the other end into the TV's headphone jack.

Consider the benefits package your employees have, if you have any control over this. Start a work at home policy. Give out bonuses. Upgrade the health care packages. Offer unlimited, paid vacation. Fund education. Give raises.

Offering a better retirement plan or health insurance can give them an extra incentive to work hard and keep their jobs. Giving dedicated individuals a way to earn extra vacation time can also boost employee morale. It doesn't have to be all the time. Utility costs can be cut down by having employees work from home. There is no commute, and you cut down on office social distractions. Annual bonuses and bonuses based on goals can really give your team a morale boost. Bonuses aren't as much of a commitment as raises, given that they are one-time payments. This can feel like a raise, but it has only a temporary effect. Beware providing regular bonuses and then eliminating them. Employees may feel a morale boost leading up to getting a bonus, not just after. It can be very deflating to lose a bonus one was expecting. Also, research indicates that only substantial bonuses have any positive impact on employee behavior. If there are none, offer them. Your employees will be healthy, increasing their morale. They will feel that their position has more worth. It can contribute to a feeling of security, especially when spouses and children are covered. It has been shown, for both the public and private sector, that employee satisfaction and productivity can be enhanced by providing health care benefits. This may seem like an excuse to slack off, but it reality it can result in productivity, as vacation improves health and focus. It can also save money, as for some companies the average worker has an accumulated $2-4,000 in unused vacation. It also fosters loyalty, as the perk is difficult to give up. Abuse is controlled by the employee's desire to keep their job and to appear diligent.  Gohealthinsurance.com implemented this policy, and in the same year reported a 200% in growth.

You can make a booklet using a few ordinary paper bags.
This method is a little more involved than the previous one, but it's still a fairly simple way to make a booklet. You'll need a few more bags, but you'll also need a few more pages. The first step is to make a booklet

Grab three or more lunch bag-style paper bags. Add more bags for more pages.

This method turns a few ordinary paper bags into a booklet that's a little bigger than the eight page booklet described above. The type of bag you'll want to use is the skinny, narrow paper bag with a "flap" at the bottom that's frequently used for packing lunches. White paper bags are easiest for writing and reading purposes, but standard brown bags also work fine. You'll also want to have a hole punch and some string or ribbon handy. You don't specifically have to use lunch bags for this booklet — you're just looking for skinny paper bags with a "flap" at the bottom that allows the bag to stand upright when it's opened. As long as all your bags are the same size and shape, you can make a booklet using almost any of this type of paper bag. At this point, you can continue adding bags as you wish, though you don't have to. The more bags you add, the  more pages your booklet will have. If you want to add more bags, use the same alternating  pattern you've established — your next bag should be flap side-up with its flap on the right, the bag after that should have its flap on the left, and so on. If you stick with just three bags, your booklet will have a total of 10 pages once it's completed.

If you can’t prove something, don’t say it’s true.
The first step to writing a proof is to understand the problem. The second step is to understand the problem. The third step is to understand the problem. The fourth step is to understand the problem. The fifth step

Question everything. Study logic. Write in sentences. Rewrite statements with the contrapositive. Ask yourself about the converse of a statement.

When looking at something that is said to be true, see if you can prove it. If someone tells you something is true, ask them to prove it to you. Trying to prove something to yourself will help you exercise your math brain and start thinking about all math problems in this way. Logic is the foundation of a mathematical argument and necessary to developing a proper proof. There are self-study guides online or textbooks you can purchase to study logic. You can also sign up to take a logic course at the local college.  Spend time working through logic problems and cultivating that type of thought process. Logic will help you write proofs in an ordered way that people won’t be able to find error with. Although it may seem strange to use sentences to explain equations and numbers, a proper mathematical proof is written out in a grammatically correct sentence. If you can’t write your argument in a sentence, you may not fully understand what you are trying to say and need to think about it more.  When writing a proof, always write in full sentences. Study old proofs to get an idea of the proper format to use. The contrapositive of a statement “If A, then B” is “If not B, then not A”. As an example, the contrapositive of the statement “If I’m from New York, I am American” is “If I am not American, I am not from New York”. The contrapositive is always true which can sometimes be difficult to wrap your head around. Always rewrite statements with the contrapositive to exercise that thought process. The converse of a statement such as “If A, then B” is “If B, then A”. The converse is not necessarily a true statement. When studying a problem, always ask yourself if the converse is true and then try to prove it. Even if it’s not true, it’s a good exercise to keep in mind when thinking about problems.

TL;DR in English: Avoid caffeine and exercise close to bedtime.
TL;DR in English:

Consume caffeine early in the day only. Manage your workout routine in accordance with sleep. Establish a routine to wind down before sleep. Manage your stress.

While you don't have to cut out coffee completely to better you sleep schedule, be conscious about when you drink caffeine and in what amount.  Moderate caffeine intake, which is around three 8 ounce cups of coffee a day, is not associated with any health risks. However, consuming even a moderate amount of caffeine late in the day affects sleep. As caffeine is a stimulant, it can increase alertness and even induce anxiety. This can easily result in trouble sleeping.  Try to keep your caffeine consumption early in the day. Avoid drinking caffeinated beverages after 2PM. While coffee is a major culprit when it comes to caffeine, be aware some teas and many sodas also contain caffeine. Regular physical activity is greatly beneficial to forming a good sleep schedule. However, exercising too late in the day can make sleeping difficult.  Try to get some vigorous physical aerobic activity in, like jogging, 3 or 4 times a week. This can help with your overall health and also help regulate your circadian rhythm. However, do not engage in vigorous exercise within 2 to 3 hours before bed.  If physical activity helps you unwind after a long day, try moderate activity like a brief walk around the block close to bedtime. Having established ritual you associate with bedtime can help signal your body that it's time to wind down and rest. Choose a low-key, relaxing activity to engage in close to bedtime.  Many people enjoy non-caffeinated tea as it has a calming effect for some. Try chamomile tea or SleepyTime teas sold at supermarkets.  Reading is a great activity to slow your mind down in preparation for sleep. However, be mindful of the material you read. Anything too heavy may distress you, making sleep more difficult.

You can use a back hair removal method that is less painful than waxing, but it's not as effective as shaving.
The most common method of hair removal for men is shaving. It's a quick and easy way to remove hair, and it's also the most common method of hair removal for women.

Wash your skin with warm water. Dry the skin with a clean towel if you wash. Epilate the back. Wash your back with soap.

Taking a quick bath or shower softens you back hairs and relaxes your skin. This can make it a lot easier to remove the hair, so while it's not essential, it's usually a wise idea.  You don't need to wash with soap yet — this will come later.  Note: As with waxing, it's best to do this method the day before you need to show off your back so any redness and irritation will have a chance to subside. Most epilators work better on dry skin. Some, however, are designed to be used in wet environments — check the packaging if you are unsure. Optionally, you can apply some talc or baby powder after drying off with a towel. This will further dry the hair in addition to getting it to stand up, making epilation easier. Turn the epilator on. Get an assistant to drag it slowly across the patches of hair on your back. The teeth of the epilator will pull the hairs out (similar to how a waxing strip would). This is generally described as being painful, though there is some debate about whether waxing or epilating hurts more. As when waxing, don't hesitate to take breaks. If the pain is too intense, dragging the epilator across the skin more quickly can reduce the amount of time you have to endure the pain. However, you may need to go back over the same patch multiple times if you miss hairs. When you're done, your back will likely be red and irritated. To help prevent infection, wash gently with soap and warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel when done.

Steep the herbs in oil to preserve the herbs long term. Harvest and clean herbs as per instructions above. Choose an oil. Decide whether to keep the leaves attached to the stem or remove them and add them separately. Keep in a cool or refrigerated place, especially during warmer months.

However, see the Warnings below first.  Olive oil is preferred but any other oils that you like are generally fine. If you want to use the oil as herbal flavoured oil, the stems are fine.  Place in a bottle as a container; herbs remaining on their stem inside the oil bottle look very attractive as ornamental arrangements, as well as being useful culinary items. If you wish to remove the herbal leaves for cooking, a shorter, wider container is preferable to enable you to put in a spoon and scoop out the herbs and oil. Use within 6 months of preparation.

TL;DR in English:


Be authentic. Be honest. Try new things. Keep a journal. Remember that everyone else feels the same way that you do.

Don’t pretend to be someone you are not in order to be liked by others. This does not convey confidence; rather, it indicates insecurity. This is easier said than done, of course, but here are some suggestions to help you be who you are:  Be comfortable in your own skin. Embrace your inner nerd (or band geek, or jock, or hippie) and love what you love. Nothing shows confidence like a person enjoying who they are. Have a sense of humor about yourself. If people are making fun of you for being involved in all the school plays, for example, you can laugh and say, “Yes, that’s me! The drama queen!” Add a dramatic gesture for increased effect. Don’t pretend to be someone you are not. Not only will people be able to figure it out, but you will feel miserable. Trust your intuition. Listen to that “gut feeling” that gives you the sense that maybe you are not doing what is the best for you. For example, your discomfort around hanging out with a boisterous crowd at the football game is not a personal failing. It could be your intuition saying, hey, this isn’t your scene. Tell the truth about who you are and the mistakes you’ve made. Making yourself vulnerable and sharing the “real” you can give you confidence. People will be impressed with your strength in sharing your feelings, which may help you feel good about yourself. You will see others accepting you in spite of your “flaws.”  You’ll also see that sharing your vulnerabilities is not the worst thing in the world; in fact, it can often help grow relationships with others. You will find that the people who matter most will most likely accept you for who you are no matter what. For example, say you feel upset about your dad’s remarriage. You could say, “I feel like I am going to be left out of his new family.” While your friends may not be able to relate to a parent getting remarried, everyone can relate to the feeling of being left out. This statement gives others the opportunity to share their own experiences. Adolescence is the time to figure out who you are. Give...

Stay on schedule. Find ways to relax. Get regular sleep. End your fast.  Ease back into eating

If your fast involves consuming teas or liquids at certain points during the day, make sure you do it. In most cases, you are using the cleansing juices as a replacement for your regular meals. Sticking to the schedule will keep your digestive system regular and on track, and help you stay disciplined with the program. Unless otherwise directed, a good rule of thumb is to have one glass of juice or water (depending on your cleanse) during each regular meal time. That means a glass when you wake up (for breakfast), one in midday (for lunch), and one in the evening (for dinner). You can supplement these with smaller glasses between meals to help keep you hydrated. The fasting is only one part of cleansing your body of toxins. Use this opportunity to take up other relaxation activities to help de-stress and revitalize your body. Meditation and yoga are both good ways to help clear your mind.    Meditate. Find a quiet place and get into a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes to avoid looking at the world, and focus on something other than your stress. It can be controlling your breathing, thinking about slowly moving each of your body’s muscles, or even just focusing on a distant object to the exclusion of all others. If it helps, you can also repeat a mantra to help clear your mind.   Try yoga. Make sure you have a clear, quiet space where you can move around without obstruction or interruption. Research several stretches to do on your own, and try them. If you aren’t comfortable working by yourself, you can always start attending a class. If you are a beginner, start lightly, and slowly increase the frequency and intensity of your exercise. Exercise lightly. Fasting means that you won’t be taking in calories and nutrients found in food. If you do need to exercise and move around, stick to low-intensity workouts. Things like walking, or a brief swim, can give you a workout without pushing your body too hard. Avoid things like weight training or long runs. Your metabolism will be lower as you consume...

Bring a copy of the notice and proof that you sent it by certified mail to show that the deadline for a response from the tenant has come and gone. You'll have to pay a fee to formally file the eviction case. The clerk will give you a case number and arrange for you to have a court hearing on a certain date.  Serve the tenant with the court complaint.  As with the eviction notice, there are rules about the proper procedure for notifying the tenant of your complaint and the summons to court on a particular date. The court clerk can help you make sure you understand your obligation.  You may need to hire a process server, in some cases, or pay the court to have the sheriff serve the papers. If you haven't already consulted with an attorney, now might be a good time to do so. Find someone who can help you prepare for your court hearing and finish the eviction process. Before the hearing, collect proof that you have just cause to evict the tenant. You'll need to be able to show without a doubt that the tenant didn't pay rent or violated the lease in some other way.

Make a list of your traits. Examine your attitude and actions. Pick three characteristics that summarize you.

Traits are the parts of you that don’t usually change much over time. They are characteristics about you that may be positive, while others might be a bit more negative. Your personality is the sum of all these traits and characteristics and is what makes you a unique person. Listing your traits can help you define your personality.  For example, you might write that you are sensitive, caring, stubborn, determined, ambitious, hard-working, and dependable. Use words that describe how you think, behave, and feel in general.  For instance, you could include: calm, a night owl, sociable, a good planner, or helpful on your list. Look at lists of personality traits online that others have used to define themselves. See which ones are applicable to you, then add words of your own. Include words that family and friends frequently use to describe you. For example, if they are always telling you that you’re comical, put it on the list. You may even ask family and friends to help you find descriptive words for yourself. Some studies suggest that your personality influences how you approach situations and your outlook on life. Other research suggests that personality traits influence behavior. So, look at your attitude and actions to understand how to define your personality.  Consider your attitude towards change. Write about a major change in your life. For example, you may write that you felt nervous and worried when you moved. Think about how you handle challenges and obstacles. Then consider how likely you are to take risks, and how you respond to failure or set-backs. Write down the personality traits that come to mind. For example, think about how you react when someone is rude to you. You might write, “I calmly tell them to stop and try to figure out what’s wrong.” Think about the things you do. Would you describe them as individual activities or social? For example, gardening, reading, and painting are individual activities. Social activities are things like team sports and participating in clubs and...

Talk to your doctor. Take swimming lessons. Choose the right accessories.

Be sure to consult your doctor to see if swimming, or other water exercise, is appropriate for your current condition. The doctor can advise you on swimming strokes that you should avoid, or equipment that might be particularly useful. Talking to your doctor can help you get the most out of water exercise, but it can also help you avoid potential injury. This is especially important if you don't remember how to do strokes, or if you have never swam before. This is also a great idea for anyone who is unsure of their form when swimming. Improper form can lead to imbalanced muscle mass, back and neck pain, and uneven strokes. Look for classes at a local recreational center, swim club, or gym. You can either choose to take private lessons or join a large class. It may only take a few sessions to get you swimming properly. Get a form-fitting swimsuit, swimming goggles, and a swim cap. If you are prone to ear infections, you may also want to get ear plugs. Buy aquatic shoes to protect your feet if you plan to swim in rivers or oceans.

Find out when tryouts are. Make a plan to manage your commitments. Prepare for the Cooper Test. Expect introductions and warmups. Have practice games in your neighborhood or with friends if possible.

They usually take place in the beginning or middle of August, and may be before school starts. Check the high school’s website for details. Make sure that you get the date and time for tryouts at your grade level. For instance, freshmen and sophomores might be eligible for any team, whereas juniors and seniors may be required to place on a specific varsity team. Read the instructions about tryouts to find out which one you should attend. If you make the team, you’ll need to balance the stresses of school with a rigorous athletic schedule. For instance, a high school soccer team may have four days of practice per week, plus games and your individual conditioning and practice.  The school will most likely require that you maintain at least average academic performance in order to stay on a school team. High schools often post team rules on their websites, so check the sports section of the school’s site for any such lists, and read them thoroughly. You want to know exactly what will be required of you. Plan to attend every practice, meeting and game. Schools may not accept unexcused absences from practices and games, and may not even accept certain excused absences (depending on school policy). The Cooper Test measures how far you can run in twelve minutes, so make sure that you can run for at least twelve minutes straight. This shows coaches that you will have the stamina to run during the games. You may also be asked to sprint specific distances, such as the 40-yard dash.  Practice alternating between jogging and sprinting as you build up the endurance to sprint. Make a schedule by yourself or with a personal trainer, that works backwards on the calendar from the date of tryouts to gradually increase your speed and distance. There may be a roll call or the coach may ask students to give a brief introduction, such as your name and why you’re interested in making the soccer team. This will likely be followed by collective or individual warmups. Practice warmups on your own, so that you will know how to warmup...

The ideal rod is lightweight, extremely sensitive, 6.5–7 feet

Employ a lightweight rod for buzzbaits and spinnerbaits. Employ a sensitive and lightweight rod for crankbaits and topwater lures. Employ a sensitive and lightweight graphite rod when using jigs or plastic/rubber lures.

The ideal rod is lightweight, 6.5–7 feet (2.0–2.1 m), with a medium action and medium soft tip. It’s important to ensure you use a sensitive rod because bass will often bump the blade before it strikes.  The lighter the rod is, the more sensitive the rod will be. A shorter rod will give you more accuracy in your cast but a longer rod will give your more power to set your hook, leverage when reeling in your bass, and distance to your cast. The ideal rod is lightweight, sensitive, 6–7 feet (1.8–2.1 m), fiberglass, and has a medium action tip or a light action tip based on the weight of your lure.  A medium action rod can also be used if it can set the hook and be flexible during your cast. A ⅛-ounce lure needs a light tip while a 314-ounce lure needs a medium tip. A sensitive rod helps you determine what type of structure you’re coming into contact with. A 7 ft (2.1 m) rod is effective when casting out a far distance and when using heavier baits. A 6 foot rod are more effective for accuracy when trying to cast towards fallen trees or in between structures. Fiberglass rods allow bass to inhale the hook before it’s set as the flex on the rod keeps the hook from becoming dislodged. The ideal rod is lightweight, extremely sensitive, 6.5–7 feet (2.0–2.1 m), graphite, and has medium action and a medium light tip.  When fishing deep water, sensitivity and weight are imperative so you can feel the bites without getting fatigued from holding up the rod in a 9 to 10 o’clock position over long periods of time. Use a 6.5 ft (2.0 m) rod when fishing structures 20 feet (6.1 m) or deeper and a 7.5 ft (2.3 m) rod when fishing anywhere shallower than 20 feet (6.1 m). Graphite is faster and more sensitive than fiberglass, which allows you to set the hook fast. It’s vital to have a soft tip to ensure that there’s tension with the bass at all times as you can easily lose a fish if only the point of the hook is embedded.

Install the PVC guttering, and then install the downspout.
If you’re installing the PVC guttering yourself, you’ll need to cut the PVC downspout to the correct length. The length of the downspout will depend on the size of your shed, but it should be

Lubricate all PVC connection points for easier installation. Snap the guttering section(s) into place. Attach 2 “offset bends” to the drain outlet to start the downspout. Mark the spot for the downspout’s bottom bracket. Screw the downspout brackets into the side of the shed. Cut and install a section of downspout along the shed wall. Connect another offset bend and a section of downspout tubing.

Spray the cut ends of the guttering with a lubricant like WD-40. Lubricating these and all other connection points will make snapping or pressing the PVC into place much easier. PVC guttering simply snaps into place at the standard brackets, joint brackets, drain outlet section, and (if applicable) “stopend” section. Feed one end of the half-tube shaped guttering under the lip of each bracket where it’s attached to the fascia board. Then push down to snap the guttering into place, under the lip on the outer side of each bracket. If your chosen PVC guttering doesn’t come with dedicated “stopend” sections that you attach to the fascia, snap a water-tight “stopend” piece onto the open end of the guttering. The downspout will be made of fully-enclosed tubes, and the “offset bend” sections are short tubes bent at 112.5 degree angles. Spray lubricant onto each end of the offset bends, press them together firmly, then press them onto the stub of the drain outlet section that points downward. The sections of tubing should be snug in place, but you’ll still be able to twist them so that you can align the offset bends to point straight downward right up against the side of the shed. Use a level and a chalk line tool (or a string and tape or nails) to create a line on the shed’s wall that drops straight down from the opening of the offset bends. Mark the location for the lowest bracket about 50 cm (roughly 1.5 feet) from the ground if your downspout will spill out onto lower ground. However, if the ground is level or slopes up, place the lowest bracket at 1 m (roughly 3 feet) so the downspout will spill out further away from the shed. Install a downspout bracket at the lower mark you just made, and another just below the offset bends. Then add others down the string line at intervals no more than 1 m (roughly 3 ft) apart. Once again, mark the holes, pre-drill, and use 25 mm (1 inch) screws. Measure and cut it so that it runs from the offset bends to just below the bottom bracket. Use a hacksaw to cut the PVC downspout...

If you are new to gardening, you may be wondering what you need to know to get started. The first thing you need to know is that you can grow a lot of different vegetables in your garden,

Buy seeds or veggie starts from a garden center. Test the soil and purchase necessary amendments. Remove all of the weeds and vegetation where you are going to plant your vegetables. Break up and amend the soil.

If purchasing seeds, pick a brand that seems dependable and pick vegetable strains that seem reliable. You may want to do some research before you go to the garden center to decide exactly which type of each vegetable you want. If you are purchasing vegetable starts, pick plants that seem healthy and do not have discoloration or spots.  Consider whether you want organic or non-GMO veggie starts or seeds. While some people do not have a problem with genetic modification or pesticides, others do not what these kind of processes involved in the propagation of their food. It's up to you. You can also get good quality seeds and plants from springtime farmer’s markets, seed swaps hosted by local organizations, and online seed catalog companies. These amendments will depend on the current status of your soil and the needs of the vegetables you want to plant. If you have never planted before in the location you are using, take a soil sample and conduct a soil test. There are tests available at any garden center that will tell you the ph of your soil. Soil can go from very acidic all the way to very alkaline, as well as going from very sandy to very clay like. Figure out what kind of soil you have and try to move it more toward neutral by adding amendments. After assessing the soil, add some compost to it. Compost adds organic matter that breaks down and basically becomes food for your plant. Take the time to weed before you plant your veggies. Weeds will compete for nutrients with your new plants, making their success less likely. Get all the weeds from their roots, as many weeds can regenerate if even a bit of their roots are left intact. You will want to cultivate, or break up, the soil in an area a bit larger than where your plants will actually be. The root systems of many plants will grow to be quite large, moving outward from where the plant is initially planted. You can break the soil up by digging with a shovel or using a roto-tiller. As you mix the soil, add in any amendments you need to add based on the...

Place this small round plate about five inches above the forks. Place a small knife horizontally over the plate, with the blade facing to the left. A dessert fork and spoon. Place the small dessert fork and spoon horizontally a few inches above the plate, with the spoon on top of the fork facing left, and the fork facing right. A coffee cup. Place the coffee cup over a small saucer a few inches above the outermost utensil on the left and a few inches to the left of it. A red and white wine glass. If you have two different glasses, then the white wine glass will be the one closer to the guest, and the red wine glass will be slightly above and to the left of the white wine glass. You can remember this because guests should move from white to red wine.

Create a study date. Test each other’s knowledge. Read each other’s essay answers. Follow a routine.

Every now and then you might like to try studying in a small groups with some of your friends and classmates. This can have advantages and disadvantages, and will depend on how well you work together. Obviously if you end up just talking about other things you are not studying your geography, so you need some discipline. This might be easier for some than others, so if you are trying to work and your friend keeps chatting, try to steer them back on topic and then maybe study on your own in the future. One of the big advantages of studying a group is that you can test each other and see where you have gaps. You can do this by using the flashcards you prepared. Pick up a card and read out the term, such as “Igneous rock!” and see who is able to describe and define it more precisely.  This also works with maps. Draw the outline of a country on a piece of paper and use it as a quiz question. Or say the name of the country and see who can draw it. You can test capital cities in this way too. You can keep score to make it more fun. If your exam has essay questions, it can be very helpful to do a few practice answers and go through them with a friend. Compare how you have approached the question and analyse which of you has best answered the question. Pick out the strengths and weaknesses of each of your approaches, but remember your friend might not be right.  You can ask your teacher if they will look at a practice answer. You could also ask a parent or older sibling. By being faithful and applying yourself to your studies, you'll be able to memorize important facts and do well on the exam. Keep your discipline and stick to your study plan. Remember that you reap what you sow. If you do miss a session, don’t give yourself a really hard-time, but make it up over the next day or two with some extra study.

Rehearse the actions to take when a quake hits. Know some of the basics of staying safe during an earthquake. Practice using battery-operated equipment.

Every family member old enough to follow instructions should know what to do when a quake happens. The more you rehearse the actions, the more natural the self-protection reaction will be when the quake occurs and everyone will be less likely to panic.  Practice the "drop, cover, hold" drill in each selected safe place. Hunker down beneath the sturdy furniture or against the interior wall, cover your neck and head, and hold on. Make it a habit to hold quake drills once a month if you live in a quake-prone area. Make it fun, such as combining quake-drill night with takeout food or a movie together afterward. By making it a family affair and associating the rehearsal with positive things, being quake-safe becomes a fact of your everyday life, not something to be afraid of. Prepared people stay alive. Make sure that every family member is aware of the following:  If you're outside, get away from power lines, buildings, street lights and anything else that might fall on you. Be aware that glass windows shatter and can rain shards down onto the street, so buildings with large glass expanses are not safe to be under during a quake. If you're inside, do not try to run outside. If you do, you risk being hit by falling debris from awnings, glass shards, bricks, scaffolding, cement decorations forced off buildings, etc. Show family members how to use radios, cooking equipment, flashlights, etc. that are powered by electricity or other contained energy sources. Have a few practice runs; you could even have an entire night of camping in your home to see how it goes. Never cook indoors with fuel stoves or barbecues. Carbon monoxide is one of the by-products of burning fuels; it is odorless and colorless and it kills quickly. Always keep cooking gear outdoors and make sure every family member is aware of this need. Tell children that if they cannot operate the cooking gear safely should you not be there to help them during any emergency, that they should eat only cold food from cans, dried packages and (within 12 hours)...
