Assemble the items needed. Empty the entire bottle of glue into a mixing bowl. Fill the empty bottle with warm water and shake (put the lid on first, then shake). Measure 1/2 cup of warm water into the plastic cup. Store properly.

Use clear PVA solution––this is the secret to great slime. The measurements do not have to be exact but it’s a good idea to start with the proportions below for the first batch. Just vary the quantities of each ingredient to get a new and interesting batch of goo.  Elmers glue (8 oz bottle of Elmers Glue-All)  Borax (a powdered soap found in the grocery store) Large mixing bowl Plastic cup (8 oz size works well) Spoon Measuring cup Food coloring Water Paper towel (to clean up) Zipper-lock bag (to keep it when you're done) Water.  This recipe is based on using a brand new 8 ounce bottle of Elmer’s glue.     Pour the glue-water mixture into the mixing bowl and use the spoon to mix well. Go ahead. Add a drop or two of food coloring, if using. Add a teaspoon of borax powder to the water. Stir the solution – don’t worry if all of the powder dissolves. This borax solution is the secret linking agent that causes the Elmer’s glue molecules to turn into slime. While stirring the glue in the mixing bowl, slowly add a little of the borax solution. When you’re finished playing with your Elmer’s slime, seal it up in a zipper-lock bag for safe keeping.

TL;DR in English:


Don’t assume the worst. Be casual and confident. Create an opportunity for reciprocal self-disclosure. Be honest and forthcoming.

If you go into the talk assuming that this revelation will cause the other person to immediately reject you and walk away, you are sabotaging your chances of having a healthy, positive conversation before it even begins.  And, if that is the response you would get from the other person, would you want to be in a relationship anyway? Studies indicate that the odds are in your favor.  About two-thirds of partners are at least initially supportive when informed about the other’s mental illness, while only about five percent break off the relationship on the spot.  It is true that 60% of people with mental illnesses say that the revelation has caused an eventual breakup, but 60% also say that revealing this truth strengthens both the relationship and personal well-being. As it does with so many aspects of life, preparation pays off when revealing information of such a personal nature to a prospective partner.  The more you plan, practice, and anticipate beforehand, the more relaxed and confident you will be when it comes time to reveal your mental illness.  Don’t start things off by saying “I have something important to tell you” while you display an expressionless face, or with a “Come over.  We need to talk” call or message.  Although you’ve planned ahead, let it flow out from the context of a positive interaction — “While we’re in the sharing mood, I have something I’d like to talk about with you.” The key is to not be so casual that you seem to think this reveal isn’t a big deal (which it is), but not so serious that it seems like the end of the world (which it isn’t).  Your level of comfort and confidence will impact how the news is received by the other person. Self-disclosure — offering personal information and insights as a sign of trust and comfort — is essential to any relationship.  Research indicates that the benefits are maximized for both parties in a relationship when disclosures are made in a reciprocal manner (that is, I tell you a secret, you tell me one).

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy dinner.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Rub the mixture over the surface of the meat. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Make the sauce. Slice up the lamb and transfer it to a serving dish.

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together. Place the lamb in a baking dish and roast it in the oven for 30 minutes. Continue to cook the lamb for an additional hour (meat will be medium-rare). Allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and then add the herbs, onions, and pan drippings. Mix in the chicken stock and wine, and continue to heat the ingredients until a sauce has formed. Scrape the bottom of the pan occasionally with a wooden spoon. Drizzle the herb sauce on top and enjoy!

or pencil that is comfortable.  In general, look for a wider barrel (larger diameter) with a padded grip.  Make sure the pen writes smoothly, without skipping or dragging along the page. Avoid buying pens that rattle or leave behind blotches of ink. Light pens are easier to balance, making them more ideal for writing for longer periods of time. For pencils, try heavier grades of lead like 2B, which allow for lighter grips. Do not clench your fingers around the pen or grip it too tightly.  You don't need to strangle it—just pull it against the page. Imagine you're writing with a quill. Remember: people wrote for hours using quills, and they definitely weren't holding them tightly.   Hold the pen from the back, leaving more space at the side of it with the writing tip.  Fountain pens are ideal for most writers, as they don't require a lot of pressure against the page. Avoid ballpoint pens if you're not comfortable with them, as their design requires you to apply more pressure against the page. They also tend to be made cheaply. If you've been using improper grip and are just beginning to get used to a new one, always start slow. It's going to take a while for your muscle memory to start developing, so work your way up to faster speeds only when you have your positioning right and your writing is neat. Don't get discouraged and switch to improper writing techniques, even if you're faster at them. Get a good pen so you don't have to press hard, then pull the pen lightly and evenly against the paper. If you prefer to use a pencil, try the next softest lead. Try a gel or rollerball pen. If you write often for long periods of time, these are great investments. Some gel and liquid inks may also flow smoothly enough to help discourage you from clenching and pressing. Writing is not drawing! Keep your hand and wrist still, and move your whole arm using the elbow and shoulder (like you are writing on a whiteboard). Avoid using your finger muscles—this might seem counterintuitive, but your fingers should only be used to...

The least common multiple of two numbers is the answer to a division problem.
The least common multiple of two numbers is the answer to a division problem.
The least common multiple of two numbers is the answer to a division problem.
The least common multiple of two numbers is the answer to a division problem.

Draw a tic-tac-toe grid. Look for a factor that is common to both numbers. Divide the factor into each number. Find a factor that is common to the two quotients. Divide this new factor into each quotient. Extend your grid if necessary. Draw a circle around the numbers in the first column and last row of your grid. Complete the multiplication.

A tic-tac-toe grid is two sets of parallel lines that intersect each other perpendicularly. The lines form three rows and three columns and looks like the pound key (#) on a phone or keyboard. Write your first number in the top-center square of the grid. Write your second number in the top-right square of the grid. For example, if you are trying to find the least common multiple of 18 and 30, write 18 in the top center of your grid, and 30 in the top right of your grid. Write this number in the top-left square of your grid. It is helpful to use prime factors, but you don’t necessarily have to. For example, since 18 and 30 are both even numbers, you know that that they both have a factor of 2. So write 2 in the top-left of the grid. Write the quotient in the square below either number. A quotient is the answer to a division problem.  For example, 18÷2=9{\displaystyle 18\div 2=9}, so write 9 under 18 in the grid.  30÷2=15{\displaystyle 30\div 2=15}, so write 15 under 30 in the grid. If there is no factor common to both quotients, you can skip this and the next step. If there is a common factor, write it in the middle-left square of the grid. For example, 9 and 15 both have a factor of 3, so you would write 3 in the middle-left of the grid. Write this new quotient below the first ones.  For example, 9÷3=3{\displaystyle 9\div 3=3}, so write 3 under 9 in the grid.  15÷3=5{\displaystyle 15\div 3=5}, so write 5 under 15 in the grid. Follow this same process until you reach a point where the last set of quotients have no common factor. You can think of it as drawing an “L” for “least common multiple.” Write a multiplication sentence using all of these factors. For example, since 2 and 3 are in the first column of the grid, and 3 and 5 are in the last row of the grid, you would write the sentence 2×3×3×5{\displaystyle 2\times 3\times 3\times 5}. When you multiply all of these factors together, the result is the least common multiple of your two original numbers. For example, 2×3×3×5=90{\displaystyle 2\times 3\times...

Seek help if you seem to be arguing constantly. Consider counseling if you argue about the same things repeatedly. Uncover any hidden issues if you never fight. Get help if you clash over different perspectives. Look for other options if physical or emotional abuse is involved.

If it seems that every conversation ends in an argument, your relationship may need help, especially if your arguments become increasingly negative, aggressive, or bitter in tone.  In healthy marriages, arguments should not generally cross the line into nasty criticisms or insults. If this does not seem to be the case for you and your partner, a counselor is definitely a good idea. Additionally, in healthy marriages, the partners rebound from arguments and don't carry them into the future. If your disagreements with your partner center around the same issues again and again, this means that these issues aren't being resolved. You may need professional help to communicate with one another and fix the underlying problems.  For example, if you can't seem to agree on household responsibilities and you argue about it frequently, a marriage counselor can help you sort out the underlying communication issue. Holding grudges in a marriage be a sign of trouble. If an argument or fight happened more than a month ago and you still can't get over it, it may be time to seek counseling. If you and your partner never fight, it may mean that there are issues that aren't being talked about. If you often feel like you are pretending everything is okay or suppressing your emotions, a marriage counselor can help you express these feelings in healthy ways. For example, if you're frustrated about your partner's smoking habit, you may be afraid to bring it up. A marriage counselor can help you approach this issue. When couples have different practices or beliefs, it can be tough to communicate and make your respective feelings understood. A marriage counselor can help you deal with many of these issues, including:  Different value systems.

Don't apologize for being short-sighted.

Acknowledge the mistake with sincerity, and apologize. Avoid trying to justify or change what's been said. Avoid over-apologizing. Give the person some space, if possible.

Even though you may want to disappear into the back of your chair, the other person will only become more offended if you act as if nothing happened. Pointing out an wrongful assumption or biased statement takes courage. Owning up to the mistake may put you back in the person's good graces. Calmly acknowledge the gaffe by saying something like "That was just my opinion. Forgive me for being short-sighted." Then, make a sincere plea to understand the person better. "Would you mind sharing your opinion of X?" This could cause even a greater problem for you. Sometimes, when people realize they've rubbed someone the wrong way, they immediately rush to a defense such as "Oh, I didn't mean that!" Obviously, you wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it. So, refrain from stating this as it makes you appear hypocritical, like you're jumping from one position to another based on the people around you. While it's important to acknowledge your mistake and try to make amends, please don't go into a long rant of endless apologies. Doing so puts the other person in an awkward position, in which they feel the need to console you - not the other way around. A quick apology can sound like "Geez, I'm sorry to have offended you. My knowledge on this topic appears to be limited. Can you explain it to me so that I can see it from your point-of-view?" Taking this route gets the apology out of the way, but also allows the person to share their expertise - and allows them to see you as a human that made a simple mistake but who can own up to it. This signals to the other person that you are aware of your misstep and giving them - and yourself - time to regain your composure. Excuse yourself and go get a drink, or use the restroom. Take a deep breath and exhale away your embarrassment or anxiety. Remember that you may be viewing the situation larger than the person, so, when you return, act calm and competent.

The egg white helps get rid of skin discoloration. It is also packed with nutrients that are good for your skin. Once all the layers dry, the mask can be removed, bringing blackheads and acne discoloration with it. You can use your fingers or a small brush to apply the egg white. Before applying any more layers, you need the first to dry. The idea here is to get multiple layers to create a thick mask of egg white on your skin. If you don’t let each layer dry, subsequent layers will simply combine with the others, and may not dry quickly or evenly. By applying a thin layer at a time, you are creating the mask bit by bit. A way to ensure you have separate but conjoined layers is by putting a clean piece of tissue or toilet tissue between them. After painting on the first layer, immediately press on the tissue. Allow this to dry before applying more layers. You will apply tissue on top of each layer before it dries. Now that you have a foundation of egg white, you need to add more layers. It should go on thinly and evenly, and bond with the dried layer. Add tissue on top of this layer if you are using that method. Two layers of egg white may be enough for many cases of blackheads. However, if you have many blackheads, you may want to apply a third layer. Once you feel the final layer, and the mask as a whole, tight and dry over your skin, it is time to remove. Try to peel off the mask, especially if you used tissue. Rinse your face with water and use a gentle cleanser to clean all the egg white off your skin. Pat your skin dry to avoid irritating it. You may not see the blackheads magically disappear after one application. Wait a few days and do this treatment again. Apply the mask a couple times a week until the blackheads go away and stay away.

TL;DR in English:


Be aware of your tolerance. Pace yourself. Drink for your body size and type.

If you’re a seasoned drinker, your body is more practiced at breaking down and metabolizing alcohol, which means you can drink more with fewer side effects. If you’re a newer drinker, the same will not hold true. Listen to your body and stop drinking as soon as you start to feel buzzed.  It is possible, although not always recommended, to increase your tolerance through practice and repetition. Make sure to always drink responsibly. If you take a break from drinking, your tolerance will not be the same. Be aware of what your tolerance is at the time, and drink based on that. Drinking is a marathon, not a sprint. Try to spread your drinks out throughout the evening, as opposed to lining them up one after another. See how long you can nurse one drink. Take a break to order dinner or a snack.   Pacing yourself is not only good for your brain, it’s also good for your wallet. The fewer drinks you buy, the less money you’ll spend. Try bringing a set amount of money to a bar, so that you can only spend a predetermined amount of cash on drinks. Try only allowing yourself one drink per hour. This will make it easier for you to remember how many drinks you’ve had throughout the evening and will keep you from getting too drunk too quickly. Different people are built differently, so it stands to reason that alcohol will affect different people in different ways. A 5’2” woman will not (generally) be able to hold her liquor as well as a 6’5” man. Don’t try to keep up with other drinkers; listen to your own body and go at your own speed.  Alcohol absorption is dependent on fat levels. The more fat you have, the slower your alcohol will absorb. If your blood alcohol level is at .08 (the legal limit) it will take five hours for you to burn off the alcohol completely.

By coating the porous edges of the MDF with joint or drywall compound, you’ll create a smooth edge.

After the compound dries, you’ll sand it so the finish is smooth and even. the edges after the compound dries. Allow the compound to dry completely. The time this takes should be listed on the joint compound’s label instructions. When dry, put on a mask and googles. Use a medium grit silicon-carbide sandpaper, like 220-grit. Use light to moderate pressure to sand the areas with compound until it is smooth and even. Sanding the joint compound should create a fine dust. Use a clean rag to wipe all dust away. Do this carefully; any leftover dust will negatively impact the finish of your paint job. With your dust mask and protective goggles still on, use a fine grit sandpaper, like one rated 120-grit, to lightly sand all the surfaces you will paint on the MDF board. Sanding will produce fine wood dust. Use a clean rag to wipe away dust and any other dirtiness from the MDF. If your MDF is especially dirty, you may need to dampen your rag with water. However, if you do, you’ll need to allow your MDF to dry completely before moving on in the painting process. For MDF that is particularly dusty, use a vacuum to suck up any that remains following your rag wipe down.

Measure the width and length of your crib. Choose a mattress designed for the crib size. Check the thickness of the mattress.

You’ll need to measure your crib to determine if a standard crib mattress will fit or if you will need a smaller or larger mattress. Though the size of both cribs and crib mattresses are regulated by the federal government, slight variations in each means that not every mattress will fit every crib. Standard crib mattresses are required to be a minimum of 27.25 inches (69.2 cm) by 51.25 inches (129.5 cm). It’s essential that the crib mattress fits snugly. There shouldn’t be any space between the mattress and the sides of the crib, as this could pose an entrapment or suffocation hazard to your baby.  If the mattress is too small, a baby could get their limbs or head stuck between the edge of the mattress and the crib rails. If the mattress is too large, it won’t fit properly in the crib and a baby could suffocate if their airway is restricted due to the mattress bowing in the middle rather than lying flat. Mattresses that are too thick pose a suffocation risk to infants as they can sink into the soft surface. A crib mattress should not be thicker than 6 inches (15.2 cm).

Spinach is a leafy green vegetable that is a member of the cabbage family. It is a cool-season crop that is grown in temperate regions. It is a member of the cabbage family, which includes broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, and Brussels sprouts. It is a cool-season

Purchase a pot that has enough depth and width for your seeds. Choose a container made of concrete, wood, or glazed ceramic. Purchase potting soil if you don't want to mix your own. Create your own potting mix if you have the time. Test the pH of your soil. Loosen your soil prior to planting your spinach seeds.

Growing spinach in a pot requires a depth of between 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). In terms of width, it should be at least 14 inches (36 cm) in diameter. A pot with a diameter of 14 inches (36 cm) will hold 3 to 4 spinach plants. These materials allow for optimal food growth. Avoid porous materials like terracotta and unfired clay, as they can leach water-soluble chemicals through their surface. Never use pots that might be contaminated with lead or asbestos. For example, old containers are sometimes coated with lead-based paint. Prior to the 1970s, paints had high lead concentrations. This is often an easier option, but you won't have control over the ingredients. Use quality potting mix that is high in organic matter. The ideal texture is crumbly and loamy. Avoid soil that clogs drainage—well-draining soil is crucial for optimizing the growth of spinach in containers. If you're preparing your own potting mix, use 1/3 drainage material (grit, perlite, composted bark), 1/3 water-holding material (coir, peat, vermiculite), and 1/3 rotted down organic matter (manure, compost, worm castings).  Sprinkle 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) some organic sources of nitrogen such as soy meal or alfalfa meal into the center of the pot and claw it into the bottom of the soil. Top it with 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of potting mix.  You can also add animal-based amendments like worm castings, fish meal, feather meal, or composted manure. Add 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup (59 to 118 ml) bat guano to the potting soil to provide it with high-quality nutrients. If you have a lot of pots to fill, it's usually less expensive to mix your own potting soil instead of buying a commercial potting soil. Spinach thrives in slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. If the acidity drops below 6.0, the spinach plant's leaves and stems may turn yellow. Add limestone to the soil to manually adjust pH levels.  If your soil is low in magnesium, add dolomitic limestone to raise pH. If your soil is high in magnesium, add calcitic limestone to raise pH.

Exchange your unused baby clothes. Take gently used baby clothes to resale shops. Join swap communities.

Babies come in all shapes and sizes, and they all grow at completely different paces. Some infants skip the newborn size altogether, and some outgrow their clothes faster than others. Moreover, you may receive an excessive amount of clothes in one size, only to find that your baby cannot cycle through all those clothes before outgrowing them. You might be able to exchange clothes that your baby never wore for clothes in larger sizes. Keep tags on gifted clothes until they are used and ask gift-givers for a gift-receipt when they give you baby clothes. Resale shops specialize in buying items that are in good condition and selling them to others at lower-than-new prices. Many of these stores will give you the option of selling for either cash or store credit, and store credit is often a higher amount than you might receive in cash. You can drop your baby’s old, outgrown clothes off and pick some new clothes up for free. In recent years, several national chain shops have opened that focus their efforts on reselling children's clothes and other kids' items. Look online to find your local branches of these national chains, as well as independent shops that specialize in children's resale. Online swap communities allow you to exchange items you have for items you need. Oftentimes, you have to worry about shipping and receiving those items without a third party stepping in, but many swap communities give you the option of searching for exchanges in your local area so that you can make the swap in person. There are many swap sites specifically for baby clothing and items. Some of the best swap sites for baby items include:  MoxieJean.com (newborn to size 8) ThredUP.com (kids, juniors, and women) FlipSize.com (newborn to size 8, plus kids' shoes up to size 3) SwapMamas.com (clothing and goods)

Determine if the piece is brass or brass-plated. Clean your lacquered brass-plated piece. Clean your un-lacquered brass-plated piece. Rinse and apply a mild polish.

It could be hard to differentiate if a brass piece is actual brass, or brass-plated. Hold a magnet near the brass piece and see if it's magnetically attracted to the brass. If the magnet does not stick, you are most likely handling brass. If the magnet does stick, it's likely that your “brass” piece is actually a brass-plated piece of iron or steel.  An alternative way to check if your piece is brass or brass-plated, is to use a sharp kitchen knife and scratch an inconspicuous part of the item. If the item is brass, the color in the scratch should be bright yellow.  If the scratch mark is another color, like silver, then it is definitely another metal, and you still need to stick with non-abrasive cleaners so you don't remove the brass plating. Clean the entire brass-plated surface with a mixture of mild soap and cold to lukewarm water. Dip a cloth into the soapy water, wring out the cloth so it's only slightly damp, and gently rub the surface of the brass piece.  Never try to polish lacquered brass. The polish tends to turn the surface of the brass piece cloudy.  Don't use cleaners containing ammonia on lacquered brass pieces, because the ammonia will break down the protective lacquer. Dip a soft cotton cloth into a mixture of mild dish detergent and lukewarm water, wring out the cloth so it is only slightly damp, and gently wipe the surface of the brass piece clean. You can use an old toothbrush to clean out the nooks and crannies in the brass piece. Rinse the brass piece with water, and dry it completely using a clean cloth.  Polishing brass-plated items can potentially remove some of the brass plating. If you plan to polish your brass-plated object, do so very gently.  It may be helpful to test the polish on an inconspicuous area of your brass-plated item before you polish the entire piece.

You can propose to your boyfriend in a number of ways. You can propose in a letter, in a restaurant, or in a public place. You can also propose to your boyfriend in a way that is not as public.
You can propose to your boyfriend in a number of ways. You can propose in a letter

Set the scene. Introduce the ring or object, if you're using one. Ask the question. Handle a rejection gracefully.

Think about how you want things to look. Talk through your ideas with a friend to help you make sure that you have not overlooked anything. It's also okay to ask your friends for help with executing the proposal. If you have control over the scene, set it as much as you can. Remember, you can't control everything, but you can get things somewhat close to your vision.  If you're proposing at home, it's fairly easy to set the scene. You can dim the lights and light candles. You can also put up decorations, like pictures of you and your boyfriend. If you're proposing publicly, you have less control over the scene. However, there are some things you can do to get the scene you want. If you're proposing on a hiking trip, hike at the right time of day so you'll reach your destination right as the sun is setting. If you're proposing at a restaurant or coffee shop, try to get the right table. If you're proposing with a ring or another object, find a way to introduce it. You can hide a ring in your pocket or purse and lift out the box when you're ready. At a restaurant or coffee shop, you can have the ring brought out by the waiter in a drink or item of food. Other items can be introduced creatively, depending on what they are.  For example, if you bought your boyfriend a nice watch to propose, think about having him close his eyes and then slip it on his wrist. If you're presenting a ring, think of a fun way to do it. For example, you can leave clues around your home leading him to the ring. You can keep things simple. Look in his eyes and tell him something about how much you love and treasure him. Then, say something like, "Will you marry me?" Some people prefer proposing in a letter. You can compose a brief love letter and hand it to him. Have the words, "Will you marry me?" written at the end. Sometimes, things do not go as planned. If your boyfriend declines, do not see this as the end of the relationship. There are many reasons someone may not want to get married, some of which may be rooted in practical...

Strip all the cherries off the coffee tree. Rake the coffee cherries. Sort the coffee cherries.

One sweep of a branch removes the ripe as well as the unripe berries. Commercial growers use machines to remove all the berries. This method is used when the majority of the berries are ripe. Though there is a significant amount of waste when coffee is harvested by stripping, the cost is worth it for commercial growers who find this method more cost effective than the time and financial investment involved in selective harvesting. You can strip harvest at home by hand by grabbing a branch and sliding your hand forward to knock all the cherries off the tree and onto the ground. Use a rake to gather the cherries that have been knocked to the ground. You can place a sheet or netting under the tree to collect the cherries as they fall. This will make the task of picking them up from the ground easier. Separate the ripe from the unripe cherries. Remove any leaves and branch pieces that may have gotten mixed in. The refuse can be thrown out or placed in your compost pile.

Get involved in activities. Challenge yourself to take the initiative in social relationships. Spend time with your family. Be a pleasant presence. Join an online community.

To make new friends, you will have to get out and get involved in things. Consider joining a sports league, taking a class, or volunteering within your community. If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online. Look on places like Craigslist, Meetup, or local news websites for activities in your area. Don't attend functions with the sole idea of making friends or meeting people. Try to go with no expectations whatsoever and to enjoy yourself regardless of what happens. Look for activities that interest you and that also involve groups of people like book clubs, church groups, political campaigns, concerts and art exhibitions Making new friends often requires you to take the first step and invite others out to do things. Don't wait for people to approach you: you should approach them. Ask the person if they want to chat or get a coffee. You must always show interest in other people before they will show interest in you.  Be yourself as you try to make new friends.  Don’t try to impress a new person by misrepresenting yourself. That may lead to the end of the new friendship before it even gets started. Be a good listener.  Pay close attention when people are talking. It is important to be able to respond to what the person has just said to demonstrate that you were listening or they may feel like you do not care. Working to deepen the relationships with your family may also help you to stop feeling so lonely. Even if you don't have a great history with a family member, you can still try to repair relationships by starting with an invitation. For example, you could ask a family member that you haven’t seen in a while to go out to lunch or meet you for coffee. When trying to rebuild or deepen your relationships with family members, you can use some of the same strategies you would use to gain new friends. Take the initiative to ask the person out, be yourself, and be a good listener. Draw people toward yourself by providing enjoyable company. Be complimentary rather than...

Talk to your doctor. Meet with a registered dietitian. Write down and track your goals. Write your weight-loss meal plan.

Speaking to a doctor prior to a new diet or weight loss plan is a good idea.  They may be able to give you alternative diets or suggest vitamin or minerals to supplement your diet with since you'll be avoiding or minimizing your vegetable intake.  Review your current weight, weight goals, medications and health history with your doctor. Your doctor also may be able to refer you to a local dietitian for additional help. These nutrition experts will be able to guide you on your weight loss diet.  They'll also be able to help provide you with different alternatives for vegetables.  Ask your dietitian for help designing a meal or eating plan that doesn't focus heavily on vegetables but that could still produce weight loss. To find a dietitian in your area, visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right. Setting goals for yourself with a weight loss plan can help you keep you on track and help you stay motivated.  Be specific with your goals.  You want to set goals that are specific and realistic for you.  Also give yourself an end date. Remember, a large amount of weight loss in a short period of time is not realistic or healthy.  Focus on losing smaller amounts of weight over longer periods of time. Realize that with a lack of vegetable consumption (and subsequent fiber consumption), weight loss may be slower. Set smaller goals before your long-term goals.  For example, if you want to lose 20 pounds in five months, a smaller goal would be to lose four pounds within the first month. Meal plans can help making dieting and weight loss a bit easier.  You'll have your own plan to follow throughout the week.  Having all your meals and snacks planned can help keep you organized and focused.  Spend some free time writing up an entire week's meals and snacks.  It's much easier to stick to a diet when you have a plan in place. Although you may be avoiding or minimizing the amount of vegetables that you include in your meal plan, make sure you're including all the other food...

Identify negative thinking. Focus on positive thinking. Practice being optimistic. Make an effort to silence your “inner critic. Don’t live in the past.

You may be sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and not even realize it. Begin by simply becoming aware of negative thoughts, and how they may be affecting you. Some common forms of negative thinking include:  Filtering, or minimizing positive aspects while magnifying the negative. Polarizing, or seeing things as only good or bad with no middle-ground. Catastrophizing, or only imagining the worst-case scenario. With a little practice, you can learn to transform your thoughts. Start by following one simple rule: Don’t say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say about a friend. Be gentle with yourself. Encourage yourself the way you would encourage a close friend. It is a misconception that some people are naturally positive, while others are inherently negative. In reality, optimism takes practice. Try to intentionally see the silver lining. Instead of thinking, “I’ve never done this before,” tell yourself, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.” ” We all have that inner voice that tends to critique or question us. This voice may tell us that we are not good enough, not talented enough, or not worthy of someone’s love. These thoughts are meant to protect you from failure or heartbreak, but in truth, they do nothing but hold you back. When your inner critic speaks up, ask yourself these questions.  Are these thoughts really true? Is it possible that these thoughts are not true? Can I admit that they might not be true? Can I imagine the possibility that really I am good enough, talented enough, and worth of love? If guilt, pain, or regret over past circumstances are bringing you down, you can work to release those emotions.  Make the active choice to let something go. Write it down and/or speak it out loud. Express your pain and/or take responsibility. If there is something you need to say to someone, say it, even if what you need to say is “I’m sorry.” Forgive yourself and others. Try to remember that everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and everyone deserves another chance (even you).

If you're not sure what to write about, you can always use a prompt.

Pick a topic. Build on a story. Use the news as inspiration. Write down everything you can think of. Draft a few jokes based on your brainstorming. Revise your jokes. Record yourself on the go. Joke with your friends and family. Get together for improv sessions with your friends.

There are plenty of ways to pick topics for jokes. You can start with prompts that help you think of things you feel strongly about. When you have a list, think about whether anything you've written down has the potential to be funny.  Ask yourself what you love. For example, maybe you have a serious love of Renaissance festivals. What could be funny about that? Do you always wear a costume that gets you funny looks in public? Are there certain "types" of people who attend the festivals that you could describe in a funny way? Consider what you hate. Maybe you hate spiders. You could come up with great jokes based on why you hate spiders: tell a story about a time you tried to kill a spider by yourself. Or describe spiders themselves in a funny way. Think about what annoys you. The things that might annoy you are a great source for comedy. Describe how annoying the subway is – people sitting too close, a couple making out in the corner, the one guy who always has his music playing without headphones. If you've already got a funny story you like to tell, use it for the base of your jokes. Build on it by telling jokes or other stories that are related. For example, if you have a really funny story about going to a theme park, use that as your base story. Then write other jokes related to theme parks – they could be about the food, waiting in line, or dealing with kids. Look for news stories that strike you as particularly ridiculous or funny or outrageous. Then make it personal using the following formula: "X happened in the news. If I did that/if that happened to me..." and fill in the rest.  Not everything that comes out of this exercise will be funny, but you'll occasionally get some good stuff! For example, if you see a news story about politicians behaving badly, you could use that. You could start the joke by saying something like "Senator Smith just spent $100,000 on a private plane for his wife. If I spent $100,000 on a private plane I'd have a plane but no wife."

Invest is some good quality shoes. Buy a few bags that go with most of your outfits. Show off your new glamour style!

They're probably the factor that determine whether you're glamorous... or not. Go for classic cuts and models, which show the line of your body. Once again, invest in something of exceptional quality. The fabrics should be soft and smooth, like silk, jersey, and cashmere. Glamour style is, above all, elegant and sophisticated. Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe are good sources of inspiration. Avoid clothes that look too old, sporty, or messy. It is very important that you choose the image you wish to portray; there are many ways to look glamorous, and each one of them has its specific elements you must follow in order to portray that image. Here are some of them:   Old Hollywood glamour- think Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren. Its attributes are red lips, platinum blonde hair, diamonds, fur and '40s dressing style. Hair is very important; old Hollywood hairstyles are short-to-medium length, wavy and dyed blonde or black. As for makeup, wear red lipstick and use black mascara. Wear medium-length dresses and skirts, diamond earrings and fur coats.  Urban chic glamour- think Audrey Hepburn. Sleek lines, straight hair, and elegant, simple design- it's the favorite look of the wealthy New York women.  To get this look, wear trench coats, black tights, stiletto heels, little black dresses, business suits and simple, delicate jewelry. The most used colors are the neutral ones: black, white, and beige; however, bright colors are welcome too, but in smaller amounts. Oversized sunglasses are a must. Wear precious fabrics like silk, cashmere and jersey; the fabrics must be as high quality as you can find. Avoid wearing jeans. Accessorize with huge handbags, fine jewelry and watches. As for makeup and hairstyle, long hair and the classic bob style are definitely the most acceptable; the makeup is very natural.  Opulent diva glamour- the more expensive and rich-looking it is, the better. Everything is allowed here: excessive jewelry, glitter, feathers, heavy makeup- as long as it's not (too) tacky, it's acceptable. To get...

Apply sunscreen with at least an SPF 15 if you do need to spend time outdoors, and the area you wish to have hair removed by laser will be exposed to UVA/UVB rays. Shaving is fine, but these other hair removal techniques can reduce the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Also, the hair should not be bleached. This is usually a day or two before the appointment. The hair follicles should be visible, but it can be more painful if longer hair is present during the laser hair removal.  Leave it free of cosmetics, lotions and creams. If you apply deodorant, it will be removed prior to treatment.

If you want to train your dog to not eat cat food, you have to wait until he actually does it to discipline him. Otherwise, he won't understand what he did wrong and the training won't work.
This is a very good article. I have a dog that is very good at eating cat food.

Wait until your dog starts eating the cat's food. Tell your dog to “leave it. Use a spray bottle to discourage your dog from eating the cat food. Startle your dog with a loud noise when he eats the cat food. Reward the dog when he eats his own food. Avoid yelling.

To effectively train your dog to not eat the cat food, you have to wait until he actually does it to discipline him. Otherwise, he won't understand what he did wrong and the training won't work. When you put down the cat food, wait a few minutes and see if the dog goes for it. If he does so, then take corrective action. ” Using the command you’ve taught your dog, show your dog the gesture as you say “leave it” in a firm (but not yelling) voice. If your dog does not respond, you may need to use other tactics to create a negative association between an unpleasant (but not harmful) experience and eating cat food. A spray bottle can startle your dog so he'll associate eating the cat's food with an unpleasant (but harmless) experience and will not want to do it anymore.  Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it near the cat's bowl so you can reach it easily. Wait for your dog to go for the cat food. Then take the spray bottle and send 2 squirts toward the dog. In addition to using a spray bottle to discourage the dog, you could also get a similar effect from startling the dog with a loud noise.This is supposed to scare your dog so he will be discouraged from eating the cat food again.  A few things you could use are a coffee can filled with coins, a whistle, or a magazine smacked against the table. Wait until your dog goes for the cat food and then make the loud, startling noise. Try to make it so that the dog does not know you are the source of the sound. You want him to respond negatively to the sound, not to you. The other side of dog training is rewarding behavior that you want to continue. When the dog eats his own food from his own dish, pile on the praise. Tell him he is a “good boy” and pet him (if he will allow it while he is eating -- some dogs will not). Yelling at your dog is ineffective, as he is unlikely to make the connection between you yelling and his eating. It could just make your dog decide that he’s scared of you, in which case he will wait until you are not there to eat the cat food.

Use language that’s descriptive and concise. Make each sentence reveal character details and advance the plot. Include a few paragraphs after your climax. Give your flash fiction a fitting title.

Make sure all of your character's actions and intentions are clearly communicated through your writing. Aim to write sentences with the fewest number of words you can use while still maintaining clarity. Instead of writing backstory, summarizing the feelings or emotions tied with the events instead.  For example, if your protagonist’s childhood is relevant to the story, do not write, “Sarah was born in a bathtub in Kansas City and lived there through elementary school, when her father got a job in Tulsa …” Instead, say something like, “Sarah reflected on her brief and unfulfilling childhood as she waited for a taxi.” It’s okay to use more than 1,000 words while you’re writing your first draft since you’ll be editing them out later on. Include your character’s qualities and personality in your sentences so your reader always gets new information about them. Throughout your writing, your reader should learn something new about the character or plot. Don’t include any sentences that are just descriptions or slow the plot down. Use your character’s dialogue to help reveal information or progress the plot as well. Flash fiction that ends just after the surprise or twist is revealed may leave readers unsatisfied since they want to know how a character reacts. Dedicate at least the last 1-2 paragraphs to resolve the conflict and let your reader know the outcome of the revelation. Your title should reflect the main ideas or conflict of your story. Brainstorm your theme and the elements of your story to see how you can combine them to make your title. Think of something catchy and easy to read so your reader is more likely to remember it. Your title can help describe any backstory that you didn’t include. For example, if you’re writing a story about a husband doing the routine of his wife who passed away, you may call your story “In Her Footsteps.”

Select high-density carpet. Choose firm carpet padding. Hire a professional for installation.

You can easily determine if a carpet is high density by folding over the sample. Then, look for the backing between the fibers. A high-density carpet will not show the backing. It will cost more, but will withstand the strain of heavy furniture better. It will also be more comfortable and last longer. A long pile height doesn’t necessarily mean that a carpet is dense. If each fiber is very thin, then it will still dent easily. Look for a firm, thin pad. Press your fingers into the pad and look for one that provides the most resistance. A thick carpet pad may reduce noise and be more comfortable to walk on, but it allows carpet to flex too much and increases the chances that carpet will develop dents. A pad that isn't firm enough will be permanently crushed by heavy furniture. Always install a fresh carpet pad with new carpet. If you create multiple layers of pads, then you’ll get a ripple effect on the carpet’s surface. Installing carpet on your own without expert guidance can lead to a lumpy, easily dented floor. Most carpet and flooring stores can recommend contractors to you who have experience with installation. Check their references and reviews personally before moving forward.  Most reputable contractors will also come out to your home and provide an estimate for your carpet installation project. If an installer doesn’t listen to your concerns about durability and denting, hire another person to do the job.

Pour club soda into the pot or pan before it cools. After a 15-minute soak, scrub the pot with a dish sponge or washcloth. Dump the club soda.

This works especially well for cast iron. The effervescence of the soda reacts with the iron, making the sides slick and difficult to stick to. Do not dump the soda out of the pot. Instead, submerge the sponge beneath the club soda and scrub the pot while the soda is still inside. Wipe out any remaining flakes of caramel with a dry paper towel.

Pour some washable, green paint into a dish. Repeat the process with your other hand. Make more prints, if desired, then let the paint dry.

Tempera paint or finger paint would work the best. For easier clean up, mix a few drops of liquid dish soap into the paint. If you will be making these on paper, consider using a green ink pad instead. Make the next print a little bit above and to the side of the first print. Be mindful about the left and right placement. Remember: the edge of your palm will make the outer edge of the foot. Consider working your way backwards rather than forwards. This way, you won't risk accidentally smearing the paint as it dries. Most tempera and finger paints dry quickly. They should be ready within half an hour, at most.

Do not throw away an aerosol can that is not empty. Try to use the product until the can is empty. Do not attempt to empty the can except by using the product. Take your partially full aerosol cans to hazardous waste collection site.

It may not seem like a big deal to throw a partially full can of hairspray or cleaning product in the garbage, but it can actually be very dangerous. Because aerosol cans are pressurized, they explode if they are exposed to high heat or flattened. This could even happen in the garbage truck, which could cause injuries. The easiest way to get rid of the aerosol can is simply to use the product until the can is empty, and then dispose of the can in the recycling or trash. If you can't use it yourself, consider donating it to someone who will use it. For example, cans of spray paint may be used by local artists or students. Your friends or family members may also be able to use your products. When you bring a partially full aerosol can to a hazardous waste collection site, they may puncture it to remove the contents and allow the can to be recycled. While this can be done by trained professionals with specialized equipment, it should never be done at home! Puncturing an aerosol can can cause an explosion, so please leave it to the experts. You can locate a collection facility near you by searching on your city's or county's website. You may need to pay a small fee to safely dispose of your aerosol cans, but it should not be significant.  Many towns have events where people can bring in their hazardous waste and get rid of it for free or a reduced cost. You may find a local business that needs the product inside. They may be willing to take them for you.

Learn to groom horses properly. Brush horses properly. Check all your gear thoroughly. Catch and halter your horse. Saddle your horse. Bridle your horse.

This is important both in "bonding" with a horse, if you are fortunate enough to ride the same one regularly, and also gives you a chance to look the horse over for problems or injuries before and after a ride. Feed and water the horse if you have opportunity, once again cementing a bond with the animal, earning its trust, and learning to trust it, as well.  Many people are surprised, when they find themselves "up close, and personal," with a horse; with how large and powerful they truly are. Use the curry comb, dandy (hard) brush, and body (soft) brush, in that order. The curry comb should be used on the neck, body, and about halfway down the horse's legs, and likewise for the hard brush. The body brush is the only brush that should be used all the way down to the horse's hooves.  Do not brush the horse's face; use a towel or a grooming glove on this area. Pick up the horse's hooves and use a hoof pick to clean out dirt and mud if they appear to be dirty. Pick them up from the side, never stand directly behind or in front of a horse's legs, for safety reasons. Bring your tack out of the tack room, check it over to make sure it is clean and in good shape, with no holes or tears in the leather. Set it down, preferably on a rail, saddle rack, or stand. Ensure that it is out of the way of other riders. Catch or call your horse, and put on the halter. This is the leather or nylon harness that goes over the horse's head, and you will want to strap it tightly enough so it doesn't slip, but not tight enough to be uncomfortable for the horse. Ensure that it is completely on the horse's head; many an escaped horse could have been avoided had they simply ensured that the halter was on completely.  Lead the horse into the barn and attach the cross ties to the metal ring on the halter near the horses mouth. If there are two rings, the cross ties should be clipped to the metal loops on the sides, closest to the horse's mouth. Standing on the horse's left side, slide the saddle blanket over the horse's back, with the front...

Some banks may use the same application for preapproval that they use to apply for the mortgage itself. This may save some steps later if you wind up applying for a mortgage with that bank. The lender will require certain documents to support your application. Prior to about 1990, you merely had to give your employer’s name and state your annual income, but now it is common to require the following documentation:  one to two months of pay stubs, showing annual payment as well two years of federal tax returns, including W-2 statements a quarterly statement of all assets, including savings accounts, checking accounts and any other investments Social Security number (to get your credit report) The lending officer at the bank may have other questions or need additional information from you. You should do your best to provide as much honest information as you can. While you are waiting, you can continue looking at houses, and tell owners or brokers that you have started the process for preapproval on a loan. If you find a property that you wish to buy, and you need the preapproval letter to be expedited, you should contact the bank right away and inform them of that. They want your business, so it will be in their interest to speed up the process if it helps you.  The preapproval process may take as long as two to four weeks. If you need to make an offer sooner, try requesting a pre-qualification letter. This is a similar letter that requires much less documentation, but also carries less weight.

Assess the damage. Plug the hole by filling it with rubber cement or seam sealer. Seal the valve. Replace the valve.

Is there a hole or a crack? A hole will be easier to fix than a crack. If there’s a crack you might need to order a new valve from the air mattress manufacturer. This is a long-shot method and may not always work. Often, a severely damaged valve means that you’ll need to buy a new mattress.  If the valve is leaking air because the valve plug isn’t properly sealing against the valve stem, you can line the stem with a thin piece of plastic to help it seal properly. If the valve is damaged beyond repair, order a new one from the manufacturer and replace it according to the instructions.

Get an agent if you’re new to the industry. Team up with an established reality show producer. Pitch directly to the networks. Keep shopping around your idea until you get a buyer.

An agent can help you connect with potential buyers and make it easier to get your pitch package in front of the right people. Look for agents in your area that specialize in reality television and see if you can get someone to represent you. Look for a producer who’s already produced reality shows similar to the one you’re pitching. If you’re new to the industry and you don’t know any producers, pay to attend a conference like the National Association of Television Program Executives that takes place annually in Miami, Florida, or the annual RealScreen Summit in Washington, DC.  Attending a conference with high-level TV executives can cost over $1,000 (€843), so you'll want to make sure you're prepared if you decide to take this route. Make sure your pitch package is all put together and consider having multiple ideas to pitch.  At the conference, attend sessions hosted by network executives you're interested in networking with, and introduce yourself after the session. Have cards with your contact information on them that you can hand out to prospective buyers. If you have an agent, have them arrange a meeting between you and some network executives. Choose a network you could see your show airing on; if your show is about CEOs renovating their own penthouses, look for a network that airs home-improvement-style shows. Come to the meeting prepared with your pitch package (short tape, write up, headshots) and convince the network execs that your show would be a hit. If your show centers around the bold personality of a particular character, consider bringing them along to the meeting to help woo the network. If one network isn’t interested in your idea, that doesn’t mean other networks won’t be. Keep attending meetings and pitching your show. Take the feedback you get from network executives and TV producers and use it to make your pitch package better. If you’re not having any luck, consider changing the premise or structure of your show so it’s more marketable.

Draw a Chance card if you land on a Chance space. Move your token to the space indicated if you draw a "Go To" or "Take a Ride" card. Place one of your Ticket Booths on an Amusement if you draw a Free Ticket Booth card.

If you land on Chance, draw the top card from the Chance pile and follow its instructions. Then, place the Chance card face up on the discard pile. Once all the Chance cards have been played, turn the discard pile over and start again. (You may want to shuffle the cards first.) Follow the instructions for the space you land on as if you had landed on it from a roll of the die. If you land on or pass Go, collect $2 from the Bank. Keep your token on its present space, and follow the instructions for placing Ticket Booths. The instructions for placing Ticket Booths include:  If either of the Amusements of the color indicated on the card is unoccupied, put your Ticket Booth on that Amusement. If both are unoccupied, choose the Amusement you want to place your Ticket Booth on. If both Amusements are occupied by Ticket Booths of different colors, replace the Ticket Booth on the Amusement of your choice with your own. Return the displaced Ticket Booth to its owner. If both Amusements are occupied by Ticket Booths of the same color, they cannot be replaced. Discard the Chance card and draw another, following its instructions.

Take a hot shower or bath. Change into your most comfortable clothes or pjs. Get some light exercise. Try progressive muscle relaxation.

Warm water helps relax your muscles and increase circulation.  It therefore offers some of the same benefits as getting a massage or exercising can, but is low-cost and won’t risk ramping you up for a couple hours like intense exercise can. Light some candles, play relaxing music and soak in the tub for at least ten minutes.  The bath is a great time to do some meditation or practice mindfulness. Make sure not to do anything that might make you fall asleep.  Don’t try to meditate in the bath unless you are experienced and know you will stay alert. Get out of those stuffy work or school clothes and put on something comfortable and soft, like cotton or linen. You will feel instantly more relaxed. It may sound counterproductive to relaxation, but exercising helps you clear your head by burning off all the mental energy saved up during a long day at work or school.  Regular exercise also helps your body feel more relaxed and stress-free overall, making the next long day easier to get through. Try going for a walk outside, doing yoga or stretching for at least 20 minutes.  Walk around the block or a nearby park if it is still light outside.  (Don’t walk by yourself at night.) Better yet, take your dog with you and you can both get some much needed exercise.  Focus on enjoying the fresh air and sounds of nature instead of your speed or how far you go.   Do some yoga poses.  Child’s pose, in particular, is great for relaxing the body after a long day. Stretch it out. If your body feels really tired, just spend 20 minutes doing some deep stretches to loosen your muscles from running around all day. This exercise will help you relax both your body and your mind.  If you do it regularly, you will start noticing when different muscles tense up during the day so you can relax them immediately and prevent compounding stress in your muscles.  Start by laying down in a quiet room. Pick one muscle, like your left hand, and tense it up as much as possible for 5 seconds.  You should be making a tight fist that feels...

Shake off any superficial dirt or vegetation. Fill a basin with warm water. Pour in several squirts of dishwashing detergent. Submerge your wool. Drain your sink. Rinse the wool of all soap. Place the wet wool on top of a thick towel. Lay the wool flat to dry.

You will want to card only clean wool, as any dirt particles could hamper your ability to use the wool carders. Freshly shorn sheep’s wool will also have dirt deep in the fibers, so you will need to be sure you wash it thoroughly. Grab a bucket or clean out a sink to use as a washing basin. The basin should be large enough to comfortably contain the amount of wool you would like to clean. The temperature should be at approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 Celsius). Water that is too hot will strip the wool of natural oils. To protect the woolen fibers, avoid soap or detergents that contain bleach or similar whitening additives. Stir the detergent into the water until the water is soapy.  For best results, use a soap or detergent with a pH between 7 and 9. Most mild dish soaps are neutral (a pH of 7) and should be safe to use for cleaning wool.  Mild dish soaps can be purchased at any drug or grocery store near you. Let the wool soak for about ten minutes in the basin of warm water. This should loosen the dirt particles, making it easier for the dirt to separate from the wool or for you to remove it with some light scrubbing. Rub the wool with your hands to wash it thoroughly. Repeat the process as necessary. You may need to soak the wool 2-3 times before it is completely clean. Remove the wool and pull the stopper to allow your sink to drain or dump the water out of your bucket. Rinse out any remaining dirt in your sink or bucket. You will know it has been thoroughly rinsed when you notice that the bubbles from the detergent are gone. You may need to rinse the wool three or more times. This will absorb the excess water in the wool, allowing it to dry a bit faster. Wrap it in the towel and gently squeeze to pull out as much excess moisture as possible. You can do this by clearing a space on a desk or countertop and laying the wool on another clean and dry towel. You could also lay it flat on a drying rack. Allow the wool to dry overnight. Do not attempt to card the wool until it is completely dry.

Maintain eye contact to make him feel loved and valued. Mirror his movements to show that you’re in sync. Touch him often to create a physical connection.

When someone is in love, they make eye contact more with that person than they do with anyone else. If you look into his eyes a lot, especially when he’s talking, it will bring up feelings he had the last time he was in love. Those positive emotions will then be associated with you.  Don’t stare at him for too long or you’ll scare him. Every so often, glance away, then drag your eyes back to him to break it up. You can also add a flirty eyelash flutter. Blinking a lot is a natural reaction when you like someone, so it subtly shows that you’re into him. If you copy his body language, tone, and behaviors, he’ll feel like the 2 of you are on the same wavelength. Smile when he does, match his soft-spoken voice by quieting your own, or angle your body just like his is.  For example, if he has his chin propped on his hands on the table, do the same. This applies when you’re walking together, too. Speed up or slow down to match his pace. Don’t imitate every single thing he does. Make your behaviors seem natural instead of creepy by mimicking every couple of movements instead. Studies have shown that touching someone increases their attraction to you. Find any excuse to touch him, whether it’s lightly laying a hand on his forearm when he tells a funny joke or giving him a brief hug when you say goodbye.   Make your touches seem accidental if you don’t want to be too obvious. For instance, graze his arm when you get up to get a drink or brush his foot under the table. Keep your touching above the waist so you don’t cross any boundaries or make him feel uncomfortable. Arms, shoulders, and face are safe spots if you aren’t sure.

Make sure they rest in a quiet, comfortable spot with access to fresh air. Give her/him liquids, like water and herbal tea. Prepare the person's comfort food. Help the sick person stay clean. Play a favorite game or watch a favorite movie or show.

The sick person may have a high temperature and can feel chilled in a room that is too cold, or uncomfortable in a room that is too hot. As well, loud noises and a stuffy room can make the sick person feel worse, rather than better. Ensure the person is set up on a bed, couch, or comfy chair that is in a comfortable spot in the house and that a window is open to allow fresh air into the room.  You can also make the person feel more comfortable by making sure they have access to warm blankets and lots of pillows, especially if they have a cold or a flu. A sick person may need to get up to 10 hours of rest.  Encourage the person to rest when they are tired so that they can recuperate better. Most ill people suffer from dehydration due to symptoms like diarrhea or fever. Make sure they stay well hydrated by giving them glasses of water and cups of warm, comforting herbal tea. Encourage them to take small sips of the liquid and to try to finish at least three to four cups of water or tea. Though providing beverages is a simple gesture, it can be reassuring to the person, as they may not be able to get water or tea for themselves due to their illness. The average adult needs to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water or more every day and should urinate at least three to four times a day. Gauge the sick person's hydration level and note if they do not go to the bathroom often during the day. This may be a sign they are dehydrated. Most people will have a go-to comfort food they crave when they are ill, such as chicken noodle soup. Studies have shown that sick people crave chicken noodle soup because it contains a protein in the form of chicken, a hearty chicken broth full of vitamins, minerals, and some fat, noodles to keep you full, as well as vegetables like carrots, celery, and onion, which contain vitamins and antioxidants. In general, soups make good comfort foods for a sick person as they are warm, filling, and easy to digest. Avoid giving the person unhealthy foods high in trans fats and empty calories, as...

You can use a pressure cooker to cook rice, but it is not a substitute for a rice cooker.
Rice is a staple food in many cultures, and it is a staple food in many cultures. Rice is a grain that is grown in many parts of the world, and it is a staple food in many

Measure out rice and water. Lock the cooker. Bring your pressure up. Release the pressure. Open lid and fluff the rice.

Pour your desired measurement of rice into your pressure cooker. Add water according to the type and quantity of rice you are using. One cup of white rice, for instance, needs 1.5 cups of water.  Substitute all or part of the water with a liquid for flavoring if you wish, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or prepared bouillion. Never fill the pressure cooker more than halfway with the rice and liquid. Add a teaspoon of butter, olive oil, or an oil of your choice to the rice for flavor if you like. Close and lock the lid on your pressure cooker by fastening the handle of the cover to the handle for the body of the pot, or however your model is intended to close according to the instruction manual. Place the cooker on a burner of your stove. If you are using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into an outlet and turn it on. Set the burner on your stove to high heat until your pressure cooker indicates high pressure, then lower the heat to maintain this pressure for three minutes. Check your specific instruction manual for how to properly read the pressure on your cooker.  If you are using an electric pressure cooker, set it to high pressure for three minutes. The cooker will take a few minutes to pressure up before the three minutes of cooking time.  Lower the heat right away after your cooker reaches high pressure, otherwise your rice can become quickly overcooked. When the three minutes cooking time is up, take the pressure cooker off the burner for a 10-minute natural pressure release, meaning the pressure built up inside releases naturally when taken off of heat. The rice will continue to cook while the pressure is slowly released. For an electric cooker, turn it off when the timer beeps and set it to a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of natural release, do a quick release on your pressure cooker to open the lid. Tilt the cooker away from you when opening the lid to avoid the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

If you have a radon problem, you can reduce the levels of radon in your home or office by using a radon mitigation system.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is found in the soil and water. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic

Take radon-reduction training courses. Seal all cracks and openings in the building. Keep the windows open on the lowest level, weather permitting. Install ceiling fans with positive ion generators. Avoid using exhaust fans, which increase radon levels. Cover exposed earth with polyethylene plastic. Remove radon from the water using granular activated carbon.

Without the right equipment and techniques, you could actually increase the levels of radon in your home! If you decide not to use a certified contractor to reduce radon, it’s essential that you contact your state radon office to find training courses in your area. Enroll in and attend these training classes to learn how to properly reduce radon levels.  For instance, you’ll learn how to properly test for radon. You may also be taught how air pressure affects ventilation and how radon moves through water. Cracks and openings in the building can allow radon to flow into your home or office. All entry points (like for utilities), cracks, drains, and openings can be filled with urethane foam. Wall and floor joints can be sealed with polyurethane membrane sealants. Supplies can be found at your local hardware store. Ventilation is key for reducing radon levels. Whenever possible, have several windows open on the lowest level of your home or office, which is closest to the soil and source of the radon. Even a small crack allows fresh air to flow in, lowering the concentration of radon in the air. You can opt to open windows on upper levels as well to allow air to flow throughout the entire space. Fans get the air in your home or office circulating, while a positive ion generator charges the particles of radon. The particles are then attracted to the walls, floor, and ceiling, preventing them from being absorbed into your lungs. Radon comes into your home or office because the air pressure is lower than it is outside, drawing radon in like a vacuum. Exhaust fans further decrease the air pressure, so using them actually increases the concentration of radon in the air. If you must use an exhaust fan, open several windows in the home or office as well. If you have exposed earth in your basement, storage area, crawlspace, or another area of your home, you can significantly reduce radon levels by covering the soil. Use high-density polyethylene plastic to completely cover the exposed earth. Seal the seams as well as the...

Check your contract. Speak to the leasing company. Consider your options.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that there is an option in your leasing contract to transfer it to another person. This varies from company to company so you need to know where you stand. If you are unsure whether your lease agreement allows assumption of the lease, consult the leasing company or an attorney. Generally, leases are easier to transfer to another person than loans are. If you are only leasing the car, you are not working towards buying it outright, so the contract will be shorter than a full auto loan. After you have checked your loan agreement, you should contact the leasing company directly to discuss your options and the possibilities. Before any lease assumption can be made, you will need to have it signed off by the leasing company, so it's a good idea to talk to them in the early stages. Some leasing companies might work with you to determine whether they consider an assumption as a good and viable option. Some companies may work on a case-by-case basis, so they may be able to help you with the process. If you are struggling to keep up with your lease payments or your circumstances change and you decide to try to pass on the lease, you should take some time to consider your various options and the impact they will have financially and on your credit rating. It can be very expensive to terminate a lease early, and defaulting on the lease will lead to repossession and a significant black mark on your credit record.  One alternative might be just to sell your car outright rather than transferring the lease to someone else. If you are in negative equity, meaning the value of the car is less than the amount outstanding on the lease, selling the car won't cover your debts.  You may be able to work out a deal with your creditors that enables you to turn in the car. So always speak to the leasing company about your options.

Offer your help. Be compassionate and patient. Listen non-judgmentally. Encourage treatment. Manage your expectations. Demonstrate healthy behavior.

Ask your boyfriend directly what he needs instead of making assumptions. Listen and be prepared to offer help with what’s realistic for you. Ways you might help include:  Taking him to doctor’s appointments. Picking up prescriptions. Doing chores, such as laundry or cooking. It can be difficult to talk with a depressed person, especially since they may be irritable or take things out on you. It’s not going to be easy to be around your boyfriend for a while most likely, since he may become moody, negative, and rejecting. However, the depression won’t last forever, so be patient with your boyfriend. To be more patient, try to:  Pause before responding to your boyfriend. Try to put yourself into his shoes and imagine how he might be feeling. Be silent when you need to and just let him talk. Back off or take a time-out when you or your boyfriend are getting overwhelmed. Let your boyfriend talk about his depression and his symptoms with you. Encourage him to talk about his feelings and show him that you don’t judge him for having them. Ask him questions about his depression and if you don’t understand, ask more questions for clarification.  Avoid saying things like, “Just get over it” or “You’ll be fine.”  You can say, “I don’t understand exactly what you’re going through, but I care about you. How can I help you?” Your boyfriend may have difficulty finding the motivation to find a doctor and get into treatment. He may think that the whole process is hopeless and not worth his time.  Try to encourage him as much as possible to seek treatment, as it will likely provide a lot of relief.  You can say, "How about we just go to your primary care doctor? Dr. Smith knows you really well and maybe there's something else going on he can rule out." Scheduling an appointment with a general practitioner first may be less scary than going to a counselor or psychiatrist. You can say, "I'd be happy to help by researching good counselors in the area." Researching a good counselor or psychiatrist may be overwhelming for him, so...

Consult your doctor. Acknowledge that you’re starting over. Plan ahead and make goals. Stay motivated by working with a group.

The best thing you can do when returning to exercise after being sick is to talk to your doctor about it. Depending on your illness there are probably specific things to work on and avoid. Know the effects of any medications you’re taking – like if you’re more likely to become dehydrated while exercising. Your doctor may refer you to a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist for professional help getting moving, depending on your needs.  Say something to your doctor like, “Now that I’m feeling better I want to start a fitness regime. Can you help me make a safe plan?” Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following during exercise: chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, irregular heartbeat, numbness in your arms, lightheadedness, faintness, you pass out, or start to sweat profusely (more than would be expected for your activity level). No matter how fit you were before your illness, being sick for a while takes a toll on your body. Your muscles are weaker than before and your stamina and endurance will be lower. This is normal! Acknowledge that you’re basically starting over, like it’s your first time exercising. Prepare yourself mentally to start slow, increase your activity gradually, and be patient. Remember that you can and will get fit, it just takes time.  If you start lifting heavy weights right away, there’s a chance that your weakened muscles will get a tear, sprain, or strain.  You have to rebuild your cardiovascular fitness, i.e. endurance. It’s likely your heart rate will elevate more easily now that you’ve been inactive for a while. Your immune system has been fighting hard to overcome your illness, so if you overwork your body you’ll probably feel unwell the next day. Take it easy to avoid getting symptoms again. What do you want to be able to do again – run a marathon, go back to aerobics class, play a sport? If you make goals and write them down, you're more likely to achieve them.

Create your partner beforehand. Keep your partner believable. Use the truth whenever possible. Give a good reason for their absence. Be consistent. Keep your partner up-to-date. Enlist someone you trust to help. Give your partner an online presence. Deflect suspicion with sarcasm.

Have a firm grasp of who they are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. before sharing them with anyone. Know exactly how you met and what the two of you have done together since then. Rehearse your story until you know it backwards and forwards. Don’t give yourself away by taking the time to think up lies on the spot. Expect people to ask questions about them. Keep your answers grounded in what you know for sure. Invent a backstory for your partner based on places and cultures you’re already familiar with. Either give your imaginary partner an upbringing similar to your own so you can speak about it with authority, or model them on someone you know well enough to "borrow" a plausible background, like a best friend, roommate, or cousin.  For instance, if you’re Irish Catholic and know nothing about Asian cultures, don’t have an imaginary partner who’s Asian, since other people would expect you to have learned at least a little something about your partner’s beliefs and practices. Instead, use someone you know fairly well to fill in all those gaps. Say you have a good friend who's Italian and also Catholic. Since you share the same religious background, make your partner a Catholic Italian, too. Then use what you know about your friend's family life as a template for your imaginary partner's. Bolster stories about your partner with real details. If you tell people about a date or day-trip that you went on with your partner, use places that you’ve actually been to. Misdirect their attention by talking more about the places you’ve gone together, rather than the person who went with you.  For example, if you’re telling a story about a dinner date, shift the focus away from your partner by talking about the food you ate or something funny that really happened at another table. If you claim to have gone together to some event that you actually went to by yourself (like a movie, show, or concert), talk more about the event itself. Let your partner "borrow" your own honest reactions. For instance, if you've telling...
