Express debt-to-equity as a ratio by reducing the two values to their lowest common denominator. Express debt-to-equity as a percentage by dividing total debt by total equity and  multiplying by 100. Compare debt-to-equity ratios.

For example, a company with $1 million in liabilities and $2 million in equity would have a ratio of 1:2. This would indicate $1 of creditor investment for every $2 of shareholder investment. For example, a company with $1 million in liabilities and $2 million in equity would have a ratio of 50 percent. This would indicate $1 of creditor investment for every $2 of shareholder investment. You can compare the debt-to-equity ratio for the company you're researching to that of other companies you're considering. In general, healthy companies have a debt-to-equity ratio close to 1:1, or 100 percent. When there is a 1:1 ratio, it means that creditors and investors have an equal stake in the business assets. A high debt-to-equity-ratio is usually considered more unstable than a low one because it indicates that investors have been unwilling to help fund the business. This may mean that the company was forced to take on additional debt, which it may have trouble paying back.  Keep in mind that each industry has different debt-to-equity ratio benchmarks. This is because some industries use more debt financing than others.

You can use vodka to get rid of body odor on clothes.
Vodka is a very effective odor remover. It is also very cheap.

Vodka is a very effective odor remover. It is also very cheap.

Figure out where the smell is located on your clothes. Spray a treatment of vodka on the smelly spots. Let the area dry before putting the clothes back on.

This method of treating body odor on clothes is a spot treatment, so you should focus your work on specific areas. In most clothes this is usually the underarm area of shirts or the crotch of pants. Simply put undiluted vodka into a spray bottle and spray the affected area directly.  You will need to saturate the area completely, as a light misting will not do the trick.  This is an especially good method for getting rid of odors in dry clean only clothing. You don't always have time to take your clothes to the cleaners and that can get really expensive. Spraying spots may allow you to launder your nice clothes less often. You can also use isopropyl alcohol, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide, but vodka has been used for removing a variety of smells from fabrics.  It is odorless and evaporates quickly from your clothing, so you will not necessarily need to launder your clothes after using it, as you probably would with vinegar. Once dry, the odor should be gone. If it's not totally gone, try soaking the area again with the vodka treatment. It may take a few treatments to get rid of a very strong smell.

Cuban style coffee is usually a powerful, aromatic Arabica roast, most commonly found abroad from the brands Bustelo, Pilon, and La Llave. If grinding beans yourself for a traditional moka pot, grind to a slightly coarse powder, not as fine as you would for espresso. . Traditionally, Cubans make cafecito using a stovetop moka pot, which creates a dark, rich brew similar to espresso. Fill the basket of the moka pot with the coffee and level it off with your finger, but do not tamp it down. Pour water into the lower pot, up to the safety valve.  An espresso machine will also work. You can use any coffeemaker in a pinch, but the result won't be as strong as a traditional Cuban coffee. Some brewers like to preheat the water in a kettle to just below boiling. This will extract the coffee faster and prevent the grounds from overheating. Screw the parts of the moka pot together and place it on the stove burner on medium-low heat. Leave the lid open so you can see inside. into a deep cup. The key to Cuban coffee is the foam made from whipping sugar and coffee together, called espuma or espumita. Traditional Cuban families may use as much as 1 to 1½ tablespoons (15–22 mL) sugar per espresso shot (one demitasse cup). Many people nowadays prefer something somewhat less sweet, as low as 1–2 tsp (5–10 mL) sugar instead. Raw sugar is traditional, but granulated white sugar will work fine. As soon as your moka pot releases enough coffee to cover the base, pour just enough onto the sugar to moisten it. It's important to do this right away, so don't let your moka pot out of sight. It's better to add too little coffee than too much. If you end up with a liquid, try again with a new cup. Beat the coffee into the sugar with a metal spoon as hard as you can for two or three minutes. At first, this should be a dry, dark paste. As you beat in air, the mixture will become a light caramel color and foam slightly. Once your coffee is ready, pour it slowly over the sugar paste. Stir until a brown foam (the espumita) rises to the top....

You should aim your pitches.
The most important thing to remember is that you should aim your pitches. If you’re not aiming your pitches, you’re not going to get the results you want.
The most important thing to remember is that you should aim your pitches. If you’re

Perfect your grip. Perfect your stride. Follow through with your motion. Command the pitch, don’t aim.

There are two primary grips for the fastball: the four-seam and the two-seam. The four-seam generally gathers more velocity but some pitchers find the two-seam more comfortable and easier to command. Many experienced pitchers will switch between the two options when they want to emphasize velocity or movement respectively but you should stick with one until you’re fully comfortable with it.  For the four-seam grip, place your index and middle fingers across the seams where they form a horse-shoe shape with a comfortable amount of space between them. Have your ring and pinky fingers close together and your thumb gently resting underneath the ball.  The two-seam grip involves the same general configuration of your fingers but with the index and middle finger following along the seams where they are close together. Once you’ve mastered the two-seam grip, your fastball should have some movement toward your pitching hand’s side of the plate (i.e. a right handed pitcher’s two-seam fastball with break inside on a right-handed hitter). You should be generating the majority of your power from your lunging motion toward the plate.  The pitching mound is elevated for a reason. After you lift your step leg, use the momentum of your body falling forward to generate power for your pitch.  Determine the ideal spot for your step foot to land so that you’re maximizing your forward momentum without overextending. Practice hitting that spot with your foot until it’s second nature. You may even want to practice your lunge motion without actually pitching the ball so you can focus on it. If you rigidly stop your pitching motion as soon as you release the ball, you’ll lose some velocity and accuracy. Your pitching hand should end up near your hip on the opposite side of your body. One of the most ubiquitous and confusing pieces of advice you’ll hear from baseball coaches is that you shouldn’t aim your pitches. This is not meant to imply that you shouldn’t care about where your pitch lands. However, if you’re overly focused on...

Get a deep plastic bowl or a plastic bottle. Fill the bowl with beer or a yeast solution. Place the trap in your yard. Replenish the trap every day.

You can make a trap to catch snails using a plastic bowl that has deep, vertical sides. The high sides will ensure the snails cannot crawl out once they have fallen into the trap.  Alternatively, you can use a 1 liter plastic bottle to make the trap. Use scissors to cut off the top third section of the bottle, which contains the narrow opening. Invert the top section and insert it into the bottom section so the narrow opening is upside down, facing into the bottom section. You can then tape the two pieces together or piece holes in both pieces and secure them with wire. The shape of the plastic bottle trap will ensure the snails cannot crawl out or escape once they fall into the trap. Snails are attracted to fermented yeast and will eagerly head for a bowl of beer. You can fill your trap halfway with fresh beer to attract snails and cause them to crawl into the trap. Fresh beer of any kind will work, though darker brews like Stout or Guinness may be more effective. If you do not have access to beer or do not want to waste good beer, you can create a yeast solution to put into the trap. Combine two cups of warm water with two tablespoons flour, one teaspoon sugar, and ½ teaspoon of yeast. Mix the solution well and add it to the trap until it is half full. Once you have added the beer or yeast solution to the trap, you should place the trap in your yard. You can bury the trap in a wet spot in your yard, making sure the rim of the trap is raised 1 inch (2-3 cm) above ground level. This will ensure you catch snails only, rather than other bugs in your yard.  Beer traps are most effective at attracting snails within an area of only a few feet so you should choose a spot in your yard that is full of snails or a spot where you have seen snails hanging around before. You may cover the trap partly with a stone or a small tarp that is raised just enough for the snail to crawl beneath and fall into the trap. This will prevent the trap from filling with water when it rains, as diluted beer or yeast is not as effective at...

You can make a mocha with a variety of ingredients, but the most important thing is to use a good quality chocolate.
Mocha is a popular drink in Japan, and it's also a popular drink in the United States. It's a coffee-based drink that's made with a combination of coffee

Brew the coffee. Prepare the chocolate. Heat the milk. Combine the mocha. Froth extra milk. Garnish and serve.

Fill your coffee maker with cool filtered water and place coffee grounds in the filter basket. Don't forget to put a filter in the basket if your machine doesn't use a metal mesh filter. Turn the machine on to brew your coffee. While you can brew as much coffee as you like, try to use the following coffee to water ratio: 2 tablespoons (10.6 g) of ground coffee for every 6 ounces (177 ml) of water. If you're using chocolate syrup, pour about 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of chocolate syrup into the mug you'll be serving the mocha in. If you're using a sweetened cocoa powder, place about 3 tablespoons (22 g) of the powder into the mug you'll be using for the mocha. If you're unsure how sweet you like your mocha, prepare the mocha using less chocolate. If you find that you'd like it sweeter, you can drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle chocolate powder over the top. Pour a cup of milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat on the stove. You should see small bubbles start to line the sides of the pan when the milk is hot enough. Avoid boiling or scalding the milk. This would make your mocha taste bitter. You can also heat the milk in the microwave. Pour your milk into the mug that contains the chocolate and microwave for at least a minute. Fill the mug only 2/3 full so that you have room to add your drip coffee. Pour hot drip coffee over the chocolate syrup or powder in your mug. You can add as much coffee as you like, keeping in mind that if you add mostly coffee, you won't have much room for the hot milk. Stir this mixture to dissolve the chocolate and slowly pour in the milk. If you like a creamier mocha, only fill your mug about 1/3 of the way with coffee before filling it the rest of the way with hot milk. If you'd like foam on top of your mocha, use a battery powdered milk frother. Pour additional hot milk into a separate mug that has high sides. The milk should only come about 1/3 of the way up the side. Insert the foamer and steam the milk until it becomes a thick foam. Scoop this foam on top of your...

The conclusion is the last paragraph of your essay. It should be a short, simple, and to the point.
The conclusion is the last paragraph of your essay. It should be a short,

Start with a small transition (optional). Briefly summarize some of the main points. Keep it short and sweet. Be sure to work your thesis statement into the conclusion in one way or another. Write authoritatively on your subject. End with a flourish.

This can be a cue to your reader that you're ending your essay, and that they need to pay attention. Though a lot of essays begin their last paragraph with a transition, you don't need to if you feel like it's clear enough that you are ending your essay. The transition can be very simple. You should probably stay away from overused phrases such as “In conclusion,” “To summarize,” or “In closing.” Because they are used so often, they come across as cliched and stiff. Consider less-popular yet concise words such as "conclusively." Try taking the first sentences of each body paragraph (your topic sentences) and rewriting their main points in two or three sentences. This will reinforce your essay's argument, reminding the reader what you were talking about, or arguing for. Avoid summarizing your points exactly as you wrote them. Your readers have already read your essay. They don’t have to be reminded of every single point you just made. There’s no hard and fast rule for how long your conclusion should be, but for many high school and college essays, a good rule of thumb is that your conclusion should be anywhere from 5 to 7 sentences long. Any less, and you probably haven't summarized your points enough; any more, and you're probably rambling on a bit too much. You should reference it as you end your essay, even if it's only in passing. Remember, your thesis is the main point of your essay, something you're arguing for. If someone who reads your conclusion still doesn't know what your thesis is, you haven't done a good-enough job of telling them. Find a way to rework your thesis in an interesting way, using different language. Restating your thesis using the same words strikes the reader as lazy and doesn’t offer new insight into your argument. Sounding authoritative means using the right words (as opposed to just any old words), relying on solid evidence from other sources, and believing in your own ability to write. Don’t apologize for your ideas or use heavily qualifying language.  For example, instead of...

If you're a parent, you know that your child is going to have tantrums. It's a part of being a parent. But you can't let them get to you. You can't let them get to you. You can't let them get to you. You can't let them get to you.

Try validating their feelings. Try explaining things to your toddler. Give them a little TLC. Avoid the “Cry-it-Out” technique. Put them back in bed each time they get up. Avoid getting angry or bent out of shape.

Empathizing with the child can help them feel calmer, because it shows them that you understand and care about their feelings. "I know it's not fun to have to be done playing. I promise your toys will be ready for you in the morning." "It must be scary to feel worried that a monster is under your bed." "I'm sorry to hear that you've been having nightmares. I get nightmares too sometimes, and they're no fun. When I wake up, I remind myself that it wasn't real and I am safe." While toddlers' ability to understand logic is limited, sometimes hearing your explanation is good enough for them. Try explaining the rules or how reality works, and see if they accept it.  "We need to go to bed each night to help us stay healthy. Sleeping helps us have lots of energy for the morning so that we can have fun playing." "When I was your age, I worried that monsters were in my closet. And you know what? They never came. I was always safe, and I grew up into a big strong adult. I have never, ever heard of a monster hurting a child in real life." "We have a safety plan for tornadoes. If it happened, we would go to the basement and wait there, where it's safe. The sirens would warn us, so we would have enough time to grab our things and make sure everybody was safe. You don't need to worry about it, because we already have a plan. And there are no sirens, so that means no tornadoes are coming tonight." "I'm sorry I read you that story. I didn't realize it would scare you. I want to make sure you know that it's a story, and someone made it up. Made-up things aren't real, and they can't hurt you, even if you feel scared." "There are no volcanoes here. Scientists are very smart and good at finding volcanoes, and they found zero volcanoes here. The only volcanoes are far away, so far that they can't hurt us."

Anime refers to animated series and features from Japan. It's an incredibly diverse form of art, with unique stories and styles. Anime is popular in Japan and worldwide, creating animation like Pokémon, Princess Mononoke, Sailor Moon, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Anime can be serious and adult, or cartoonish and childlike. There's something for everyone. Many great Anime series started out as Manga, which is basically the Japanese version of comic books. Sometimes manga are better, typically faster to get through, and cost about $12. DVDs for a series might cost $20 for 5 episodes. Consider checking out a few manga for a cheap alternative. Anime isn't a distinct genre, it's more of an art style. Within Anime, there are fantasy stories, love stories, space-gangster operas, and any number of different types of stories that you can get involved with. So, one of the most important questions you have to ask yourself is, "What do I like?" Common Anime subgenres include:  kodomo (for children), usually light-hearted comedy shōjo (for girls'), usually slices of life shounen (for boys'), usually about heroes magical harem sports martial arts literary medieval Anime is not always a long and seemingly endless series. There are a popular 12-episode, 24+ episode, 30+ episode Anime you can start with and usually have follow-up seasons. Short popular Anime are:  Attack on Titan Re:Zero Death Note Angel Beats!

If you are using a knife, try to use the back of the blade if you can; you don't want to damage the knife edge, and you are not trying to cut slivers out of the bar. You want small flakes that will ignite easily. It can be difficult to determine the quantity of magnesium necessary to

Scrape the magnesium bar. Strike the flint to create spark. Encourage the development of a flame. Maintain the fire. Extinguish the fire before you leave.

The magnesium bar is a really remarkable camping or survival tool. Magnesium is an incredibly flammable material, and in certain circumstances ignited magnesium has known to reach temperatures of over 5,000 °F (2,760 °C). Obviously, something that burns with this intensity can rapidly create a powerful fire.  If you are using a knife, try to use the back of the blade if you can; you don't want to damage the knife edge, and you are also not trying to cut slivers out of the bar. You want small flakes that will ignite easily. It can be difficult to determine the quantity of magnesium necessary to start a fire. Too little and you won't succeed in starting a fire; too much and you'll have a 5000 degree fireball in your face. That said, it might be good to start small and then, only if that fails, add more scrapings. Usually one side of these magnesium bars contains a flint strip. Scrape that with your knife to create a spark.  The quantity of spark will be determined by the amount of force applied, the speed of the strike, and the angle of attack (degree at which the blade runs along the flint). Do not stab or slash at the flint. Drag the blade across the flint or, if you prefer, drag the flint over the edge of the knife while keeping the blade steady. The latter method may be safer. If the kindling immediately ignites and catches fire, congratulations. If it instead smokes and smolders, you may need to gently blow onto the kindling until embers ignite into proper flames. Use larger branches after the fire has become established. Watch it closely to make sure it does not burn out of control or sparks do not spread to nearby fuel sources. Make sure you douse the fire in water and stir the ashes until you are sure all embers are put out.

Plant or place mums in full sun. Use a fertile soil that drains easily when planting your mums in containers. Move them to a new location every three years.

If you don't have an area that gets a full 8 hours of sunlight everyday, put them in a place where the mums will get at least 5 hours. If you have an option to choose between morning or afternoon sun, opt for morning sun. Mums don’t do well with ‘wet feet’ so try to avoid soil that retains a lot of water. For in-ground planting, choose an area of the yard that doesn't accumulate too much water. Moving your plants helps to prevent pest problems and reduces the risk of disease.

Introduce the chinchillas to each other slowly. Wait for the female to be ready to mate. Allow the male and female to mate. Check the male for a “hair ring”. Confirm the female is pregnant. Take the chinchillas to the vet if they have difficulty breeding.

You should always start the breeding process by introducing the chinchillas to each other over a period of time. This will prevent the chinchillas form turning aggressive with each other once it comes time to breed.  Start by placing each chinchilla in their own cage. Then, place the cages next to each other and notice how they react. The chinchillas may be curious and smell or stare at each other. You can then let them out to play together and see how they react. If they still seem curious and not hostile to each other, place one chinchilla in the smaller cage. Then, put the caged chinchilla in the larger cage with the other chinchilla. Open the door of the smaller cage and make sure there is not hostility between them. If one chinchilla becomes aggressive, punish him or her by placing it back in the smaller cage. Once both chinchillas are no longer hostile to each other, you can allow both chinchillas to live together in the bigger cage. After some time together in the same cage, they may then be ready to mate. The female chinchilla may need some time to ease into breeding and will come into season every 30-40 days. The female first needs to eject a plug in their vagina, known as the Oestrus Plug before she can come into season or mate. Once the female chinchilla is in season, the male will respond by becoming more excited, wagging his tail, and may chase the female around the cage.  Be prepared for the female to show some resistance to the male at first. She may vocalize her distress by standing on her hind legs and spraying the male with urine. She may also whine or make loud noises. Some females may also try to attack the male before mating. This is why it is important that the cage be large enough for the male to hide or retreat when he is being attacked. The male may retreat to cubby holes or bolt holes in the cage in the event of an attack. Make sure you supervise the male and the female, especially if they seem ready to mate.

If you ever want to look up a country code, the following online search should give you immediate results: “what is <country's> country code.” An area code can be 1 to 3 digits long and will narrow your call geographically in the country you are calling.

If you don't already know the area code, do an Internet search for “<city> Brazil area code.”  Brazilian area code examples include Rio de Janeiro = 21, Anapolis = 91, São Paulo = 11: if you were calling somewhere in São Paulo from the United States, the numbers you would dial so far (before the local 8-digit number) would be 011-55-11. It is likely that the area code is already included in the phone number. You might see it in brackets in front of the local number — for example (11) 5555-5555. This is the direct phone number of the residence/business you are contacting in Brazil. Brazil uses 8-digit local phone numbers. If you are unsure of the number, double check it via email/social media (for a personal contact) or through an Internet search (if it's a business, government body etc.). Before...

Miswak is a traditional Japanese technique for cleaning teeth. It's a great way to get your teeth clean and to get rid of any plaque buildup.
The first thing you need to do is find a miswak stick. You can find miswak sticks at most Asian markets, or you can make your

Chew the bark off of one end of the twig. Chew the center until it becomes soft and forms bristles. Soak the tip in water. Hold the miswak twig with one thumb underneath. Brush your teeth with the bristled end. Cut off old bristles every few days. Store the twig in a dry place.

Using a miswak twig to brush your teeth is easy and fun! If you have a "fresh" twig — one that hasn't been used yet — start by chewing off of the bark at either end of the twig. Stop when you've exposed an inch or so of the wood underneath. Spit out and discard the bark. A slight "spicy" or "burning" taste can result from chewing on a miswak twig. Though some find this slightly unpleasant, it's not harmful. When you've exposed the wood underneath the bark at the tip of your twig, start chewing on it. You're aiming to soften this wood so that it breaks up into thin, fibrous bristles. This should only take a minute or two — you'll know you're ready when the tip of the wood is soft enough that it can be fanned out slightly like a small brush. Ideally, you want a very slight resistance to the bristles (similar to what you'd get from a soft-bristled toothbrush). Traditionally, miswak is performed without toothpaste or other oral health products, though you may use these if you wish. To perform miswak in the traditional style, simply dip the bristly end of the twig in water (like you would before adding toothpaste to a toothbrush). Alternatively, many traditional miswak practitioners use rosewater in place of ordinary water for its pleasant scent. You're now ready to brush. You can grip the stick however feels comfortable to you — keep in mind that you'll be brushing with the tip of the stick, rather than the side, as with a toothbrush. Traditionally, miswak sticks are held by putting the thumb of the right hand just below and behind the bristly tip, putting the little finger under the back of the stick, and wrapping the remaining three fingers over the top. Now, start brushing! Press the bristly tip of the stick into your teeth and move it gently up and down to scrub their front surfaces. Move slowly around your mouth, taking your time and hitting every surface of your teeth with the bristles. Don't press extra-hard — your goal is to gently scrub the teeth, not scrape or gouge them.

You can grow a beard, but you can’t grow a mustache.
This is a common misconception, and it’s not true. You can grow a mustache, but you can’t grow a beard.

Let your facial hair grow out. Shave the outline. Shape your goatee

Once you know what you want to try, stop shaving and let the facial hair below your chin, around your mouth, and below your nose grow out. It should be nice and bushy before you start shaving and shaping. After about one week, you should have some good growth.  Itchy skin for a few days is a normal part of growing a beard. Don’t let yourself feel self-conscious about scratching your face often. If you find it’s particularly irritating, you can use moisturizing lotion to sooth the skin a bit. You can grow out the rest of your facial hair as well, though you don’t have to. Having the extra hair can give you a little more flexibility when determining the size of your goatee. Start from your neck by making small cuts with a trimmer blade. Work your way around your chin and up your cheeks until you have the basic outline of what you want your goatee to look like. You’ll probably want the outline to start about an inch above your Adam’s apple on your throat. This may feel a bit long, but you will always be able to shorten it slightly if you don’t like the way it looks. If you shave too close too soon, you will have to wait to grow that back. . Now that you have an outline, you can shape the edges of your goatee to get it to the size and shape you want. Make sure you have a clean, sharp razor to get the shaping accurate. If you use a manual razor, a new razor will give a cleaner shave. If you use an electric shaver, you will find the trimming tool handier to use.  Before trimming, run a comb through your beard to straighten out curled hair. This will make your hair easier to trim, and will give you a better sense of how long your goatee will be.  Make sharp, clean corners at the jawline. Get the right width. A typical goatee will be about the same width as your mouth. You can help to define this width by smiling. Use the creases from your dimples to better judge where the edges of your goatee should be. No matter what kind of goatee you're shaping, make sure that both sides match symmetrically.

Meditation will help you focus and harness your subconscious mind. Before meditating, determine the length of your session. If you are a beginner, try to meditate for 5 minutes. Change into comfortable clothes. Grab a timer and proceed to a quiet, peaceful environment. Choose a location without clutter or distractions. Sit outside, on the floor your apartment, or on your back porch. Stretch before assuming a comfortable seated position. Touch your toes, release the tension from your neck, and relax your shoulders. Find a stable seat. Sit in a straight backed chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground or cross-legged on top of a pillow on the floor. Straighten your back—your spine’s natural curve should be present. Position your upper arms parallel to the sides of your body. Your elbows will have a slight bend and your hands will naturally fall gently atop your knees. Lower your chin slightly and gaze at the floor. Settle into the position, become aware of your body, before you proceed. Close your eyes and begin to follow your breath. Focus on your inhale and your exhale. As you relax, your mind will wander. Thoughts will flow from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. Note these thoughts, but don’t judge them. Allow these thoughts to pass. When you realize your mind has wandered, return your attention to your breathing. In time, your mind will wander again. Always continue to come back to your breath. Repeat this process until your session is complete.

Multifocal contact

Drive with contacts as recommended and required. Take care with multifocal contacts for night driving. Keep your prescription up-to-date. Check for other sources of glare or clouding.

Always follow your prescribing eye doctor's advice about when to wear your contacts (or other corrective lenses).  If she says to wear them all the time, or always when driving, do so.  If you need corrective eyewear to see clearly, you will likely be required by law to wear them when driving.  Otherwise, your driving privileges could be suspended. Some people worry that monovision contacts — where the contact in the dominant eye is calibrated for distant objects, and the weaker eye for close objects — are problematic for night-time driving.  There is little evidence to support this claim, however.  Indeed, if anything, most contact lenses should aid in your night-driving ability by improving your vision.  There is a caveat for multifocal lenses, however, which is discussed below. Some research has indicated that multifocal contacts — basically bifocals on your eyes — may make it more difficult to discern colors and sharp details in low light.  This claim is still debated by experts, however.  Some experts recommend wearing night-driving glasses along with your multifocal contacts to improve visual acuity, while others believe them to be useless in this role.  If you wear multifocal contacts, talk to your prescribing eye doctor, especially if you feel you have any problems with night vision. The best solution may be to simply switch to equivalent anti-glare eyeglasses for night driving.  There is no evidence that these hinder low light vision. The best way to ensure that you see your best when driving is to have regular eye appointments.  Your eye doctor will discuss the right frequency of appointments for you, such as annually or bi-annually. Some contact wearers notice blurry vision at night and blame so-called “night myopia,” but this is not a legitimate medical condition.  It is simply more difficult to see at night because of lower light levels.  If your vision is noticeably blurry at night, you most likely should have your vision checked and prescription adjusted. Some people blame their eyes for...

You can make a web with cheesecloth, but it will be messy and you will have to do a lot of snipping and tearing.
The web is a great way to add texture to a room. It is also a great way to add a bit of whimsy to a room.

Obtain cheesecloth. Measure and secure the cheesecloth. Cut vertical strips in the cloth. Tear the fabric. Put on the finishing touches.

Cheesecloth is a very loose cotton that resembles gauze. You can find it in craft stores like Jo-Ann Fabric or Bed Bath and Beyond. Measure the area where you will be hanging the web and measure and cut the cheesecloth accordingly. Secure the cheesecloth in place with pins or glue. Remember, the web is meant to look old and unfinished so vary the lengths and spacing of the vertical strips. Cut from the bottom up. Create a messy web by snipping, tearing, and making holes in each vertical strip. The more it unravels, the better. Rub the ends of the cloth between your hands to fray the edges and glue in fake spiders as needed.

If you're at a party and you're not sure what to do, just say, "I'm not sure what to do."

Say you have to talk to somebody. Excuse yourself to use the bathroom. Say you're going to get more food or drinks. Say you're helping a friend. Say you have to make a phone call. Say you have to get back to work.

This is another classic move that never fails to work. If you really want to get out of the boring conversation, then you can say that you need to go meet or talk to someone else. Though this can come off as a little mean, make it sound important, so the person thinks you really are serious about it. Here's how you can say it:  "I've actually been meaning to ask Mr. Peterson a question about the annual report. Excuse me." "I need to talk to Marnie about carpooling to Austin this summer. I'll talk to you later." This is probably the easiest way to get out of a boring conversation. It can be a little awkward to say, "I have to use the facilities" or "I've gotta pee," so you can just say, "If you'll excuse me" and nod in the direction of the bathroom or just make it pretty clear that this is what you're going to do. No one can doubt the fact that you have to relieve your bladder and this is pretty much the most solid excuse you can have.  You can come up with a more elaborate reason to use the bathroom, like having to take your allergy medication, having something in your eye, or needing to do something else that can only be done in private. Just make sure you actually go inside the bathroom if you say that's what you're going to do. If you don't, you may really hurt the person's feelings. This is always another solid option to get out of a boring conversation. If you're talking to someone and feel the conversation going south pretty fast, then buck up, surreptitiously chug your drink, and say that you're going to go refill your glass or get another snack for yourself. These are always legitimate reasons to leave a conversation at a party, if you're nice about them. It's ideal if you spot a friend or acquaintance standing next to the bar or the chips and salsa. Here are some things you can say:  "I'm just so thirsty today. Excuse me — I need to chug some water." "I just can't stop eating those Christmas cookies! They are so addicting. I'll talk to you later." This is a more outlandish excuse, but you can go for...

Give them a gift. Try to make them smile. Make them laugh Surprise them. Try to take their mind off it. Change their environment.

Can you remember a time when someone gave you a gift without an obligation to do so? How warm and fuzzy did you feel inside when it happened? Giving a gift to someone can brighten their whole day, helping them understand that the gesture of the gift is more important than the gift itself.  A gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money, or even be a physical thing, to have an impact. Take them to your secret thinking spot, or show them how to fold an origami crane. Small gestures like these are often more priceless than something you can buy in a store. Offer them something old and cared for. An old heirloom or keepsake is emotionally resonant because you've held on to it for a long time, and therefore cherish it. Old items are also symbol messages that life moves on, even when we can't imagine that it will. Make them smile by reminding them how much you care about them and smile a reassuring smile yourself. Or maybe, if you know they'll be okay with it, you could even tickle them! . Jokes and funny stories are always good ice-breakers after you've talked about a problem for a long time. The joke doesn't need to be a knee-slapper, but if it's said at the right time, it'll have a huge effect. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself. Making fun of the person you're cheering up is hard. Making fun of yourself is easy: Highlight a time when you embarrassed yourself, did something stupid, or got caught in a situation where you were way over your head. Your friend will appreciate the humor. Gifts on Christmas and birthdays, thoughtfulness on Valentine's Day and other holidays, it's all pretty par for the course. But being thoughtful on the 34th Tuesday of the year is something they'll never expect. When you're not expecting it, gifts are even more meaningful. Think about what that person loves the most in the world and see if you can't surprise them with it. Maybe they love food; so surprise them with dinner, or get them cooking classes. Maybe they love movies or musicals; so surprise them with a movie night or tickets...

Stretch regularly, stretch often, and stretch with a purpose.
The best way to stretch is to do it regularly.  If you don’t have time to stretch before a workout, take five minutes or so to either go for a walk or simply contract and release your muscles.
The best way to stretch

Commit to a regular schedule. Breathe deeply. Stretch after a workout.

To improve your flexibility you need to stretch on a regular basis. Otherwise, your body will quickly return to its previous, inflexible state.  Stretch five days a week for approximately ten minutes. Don’t feel the need to “make-up” missed stretch time. Too much stretching can be counterproductive. If you miss a day, that’s okay—simply try to do better the following week. Deep, controlled breathing is essential for getting the most out of your stretches and avoiding pain. Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your lungs which helps remove lactic acid from your muscles.  Before every stretch, take a slow, deep breath. As you move into the stretch, slowly release the breath. When you reach the limit of your stretch take another deep breath in. Slowly release the breath and move slightly further into the stretch. The increased oxygen in your blood should help you move further without additional pain. Contrary to popular wisdom, stretching is more effective and helpful if performed after a workout. This is because muscles stretch more when they’re warmed up and fatigued.  After you’ve completed your aerobic or anaerobic workout, move directly into your ten-minute stretching routine. If you don’t have time to workout before you stretch, take five minutes or so to either go for a walk or simply contract and release your muscles. Even this small amount of warm-up will improve your stretching routine.

You can also easily use frozen berries for your parfait—simply take them out of the freezer about 1 hour before you want to use them so they have time to defrost. You could use other types of fruits, too—sliced bananas or peaches would taste good, as would diced apples topped with a little cinnamon.

Get rock climbing harnesses with belay loops. Put the harness on correctly. Use a safe locking carabiner with your belay device. Get good climbing shoes. Use climbing chalk.

The climber and belayer must both wear harnesses designed and tested for rock climbing. Make sure the harness has a waist belt, tie-in point, belay loop, and buckles.  Some harnesses use the same point for tie-in and the belay loop. You can purchase climbing gear at most stores that sell outdoor recreational equipment. You may be able to rent harnesses and other equipment for indoor climbing at your gym. Many universities that offer outdoor recreational programs will allow students, faculty, staff, or alumni to rent climbing equipment. Step into the harness as you would a pair of pants. Your legs go through the leg loops, with the pair of elastic straps (called risers) that attach the loops to the belt facing the back. Pull the waist belt up over your hips, with the tie-in point and belay loop facing the front. Use the buckles on the waist band and leg loops to adjust the harness so that it fits comfortably. Purchase a locking carabiner that is designed for use as climbing gear. Since the carabiner is the only thing keeping the rope and belay device attached to your harness, it will need to be strong and sturdy. Climbing carabiners are available at stores that sell outdoor recreation equipment. Climbing shoes are designed to be flexible and to have excellent grip. A good climbing shoe should have soft, sticky rubber soles that offer plenty of friction.  You can purchase climbing shoes from outdoor recreation or sporting goods stores. You may also be able to rent climbing shoes at your gym. If you choose to rent climbing shoes, make sure the soles are in good condition. Chalk is useful for reducing moisture on your palms and enhancing your grip, whether you’re climbing or controlling the rope. You can purchase climbing chalk at sporting goods or outdoor recreation stores.  Note that some gyms do not allow chalk or have restrictions on what kind of climbing chalk you can use. Your gym may provide climbing chalk. Call ahead to find out whether you need to bring your own.

Get her number if you don't already have it. Friend her on social media if you'd prefer. Message her casually asking for a date. Suggest a specific activity if you'd prefer a more planned approach. Use a more exciting approach to suggest something out of the ordinary. Invite her to something you already have plans for.

Before you can ask a girl out through text, you'll need to be able to contact her! Get her number from a friend, or ask her for her number if you know her. To play it casually, you can ask her for her number in case you have homework questions or another school-related topic.  Try saying something like, "Hey, can I have your number so we can chat about math class?" Alternatively, you could simply say, "Hey, what's your phone number?" if she seems friendly. If you don't have her number, and aren't sure how to get it, don't worry! She may be reachable on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, or another social media site! Ask her friends which one she uses, and friend her through the site.  Friending people from school is pretty common, so if you're nervous about asking her for her number, this is a great way around that problem! Some people use different last names on social media, so make sure you found the right profile before sending the friend request. Sending a message, whether via text or online messaging system, is a laid-back way of asking her out without a whole lot of pressure. There’s no shame in asking someone on a date through messaging these days, and it gives her a chance to reply when she's available! Leave a private message on social media saying, “Hey, what’s up? I’d like to get to know you better. Would you like to hang out this weekend?”  For example, “Are you free on Tuesday or Wednesday evening?” She may ask “Why?” or respond, “Yes.”  Follow up with, “Why don’t we hang out for a bit? I have some free time.”  If she says yes to hanging out, suggest a time and place. Be prepared for her to suggest a time that works for her, and try to be available when she is. If you aren't, suggest an alternative to keep the date alive! If asking her out for an open-ended date seems to scary, try asking her to go to specific event with you. For example, you might say something like "Hey, do you want to go to a concert on Wednesday?" or "I heard the new horror movie is really scary, would you want to go...

Look to spiritual or religious icons, idols, or other important representations. Burn certain herbs or scents to dissipate negative energy. Rearrange or change the physical environment of a location.

Many people around the world look to spiritual or religious icons and other items as ways to bless themselves, bestow fortune, or clear negative energy from a place. Depending on your faith, you might want to consider one of these items as a way of cleansing negative energy and bestowing the grace of god or god’s fortune on yourself or to clear negative energy from a place.  Visit a shrine or holy place. Use holy water, if you’re Catholic. Set out an idol or picture of a deity that brings you good fortune. For instance, Hindus look toward Lord Ganesh as a deity that removes obstacles. The burning of certain herbs and scents has long been associated with cleaning negative energy. The people of different regions, faiths, and cultures favor different herbs or scents to clear negative energy. As a result, consult local practices or faith leaders.   Consider burning sage. Think about burning frankincense resin. Try burning copal incense sticks. Experiment with smudging. Open your windows and light sage or a combination of sage and other herbs. Gently breathe the sage/herbs in and metaphorically wash your hands in the smoke. Let the herbs burn out. If you associate a place with negative energy, stress, or a bad experience, consider rearranging the physical environment there (if you can). By changing the physical environment, you'll be able to alter the energy and the way you perceive a specific location.   Move furniture around your office to create a new feel. Paint your home or rearrange your furniture to help you disassociate it with a bad experience. Consider Feng Shui as a way of arranging your furniture at home.

For outlets positioned higher on the wall, screw a hook or nail into the wall above it. Hang the picture over the outlet for easy access in case you need to use it while effectively hiding it. Avoid taping posters over the outlet, as these can be harder to remove if you need to use it. If you're using the outlet for a device, position the device directly in front of it. Roll up the cord as much as possible and set it behind the device to keep it from drawing attention to the outlet. If you have stereo speakers, for example, position them directly in front of the outlet so they hide it while you're using them. Hollow boxes hide your entire outlet at once, and they usually have a discreet hole in the side for cables in case you need to use it. Use a hollow box if you want to cover the entire outlet while preventing others from touching it.  If you're hiding an outdoor outlet, you can also buy hollow boxes that look like rocks. You can buy hollow boxes from most hardware or home improvement stores. With a hinged cover, you can keep the outlet hidden when you're not using it without compromising its function. Purchase a hinged cover from a hardware store or online and snap it over the outlet panel. To further hide the outlet, purchase a decorative hinged cover. Some hinged covers look like small paintings or have an artistic design. Pop-out and hinged outlets disguise the outlet with the wall until touched. Contact an electrician to determine which type is best for your wall and replace your old outlet with one that's easier to hide.  Pop-out outlets, as the name suggests, are hidden in the wall until...

You can make money writing about anything you want.
The Internet is a great place to find freelance writing jobs. You can find work on sites like Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr. You can also find work on sites like Textbroker, which is a marketplace for freelance writers. You can

Write for a how-to site. Submit articles to a travel site. Submit reviews. Ghostwrite for bloggers.

There are numerous websites that specialize in how-to articles. They usually want experts in a particular field who can edit existing articles and publish new ones. If you are an expert in a particular field, consider applying to one of these sites for the opportunity to earn money writing about something you know. You may not need any particular expertise to write for a how-to site. It may require you to develop research skills and become an authority on certain topics quickly. With good research skills, you can produce articles on several different topics. Several websites are dedicated to publishing articles about traveling in exotic and domestic locations. If you love to travel and want to share good stories and experiences, check if travel sites will pay you to write articles. The Expeditioner, for example, accepts submissions and will pay approximately $30 per article. Some websites pay for reviews of movies, plays, music and products. Earn money online by becoming a reviewer for these sites. Start at a website like Sponsored Reviews or Review Me to gain experience in this field. Independent and corporate bloggers who can't  keep up with the demand of writing regular posts are willing to pay good money for a ghostwriter. These jobs come on a case by case basis, or they can turn into a regular job if the blogger likes your work.  Keep an eye out on job sites for postings about this kind of work. You can also apply directly to a ghostwriting firm. Ghostwriters do not get credit for their work. This could potentially hurt you if ghostwriting is all you do, because you won't build a portfolio. Ideally, ghostwriting should be in addition to other writing work.

You can make a card for any occasion, but you should make it for the person you're making it for.
The most important thing to remember when making a card is to make it for the person you're making it for. If you're making a card for a friend, make it for the friend. If

Consider adding pressed flowers, shells, or other decorations. For a simple touch, collage a few pictures. Don't be afraid to make it weird.

The outside of the card is where you'll do the most adornment. Pick a theme based on the season, the occasion, or the person you're making the card for.  Pressed flowers that you lightly glue to the card can make wonderful and eye-popping 3D decorations in the springtime, sprucing up a card with a natural highlight of color. It's a great idea for people with a green thumb. You could also add shells to summertime cards for a unique touch. This works especially well for gift tags or other types of place cards. Saving old school books, kids' books, magazines, and newspapers can be a great source for making cards. If you don't have a big store of them laying around, hit up a local thrift shop for extremely cheap (or even free) piles of cut-up magazines that you can repurpose for your cards.  Nature magazines are a great source of card-material, as well as magazines that feature lots of advertisements. The high contrast colors in magazine ads look great when cut up for cards. For a real shortcut, you could even consider saving your old cards and cutting shapes from them to reuse in new cards. Repurpose those old Christmas cards you always recycle by cutting out the manger scene or the Christmas tree from the front and putting it front and center on your own card. No one will know the difference, and you'll save money. Quirky holiday cards are usually better received than deadly-serious ones. Little jokes, non-sequiters, or weird pictures of sea creatures should be welcomed and embraced in the card-making tradition.  Your family's never heard of the Hannukah Squid? Time to change your traditions. Cut out an idyllic holiday scene being attacked by floating clouds of squid with Santa hats and HAPPYNESS in all caps on the inside. The less sense, the better. Making something weird doesn't mean you should send a crude card to your mother-in-law for her favorite holiday, or that you should try to make a funny sympathy card, but you should send something that the receiver will appreciate.

Calm your anxiety before going into the party. Smile at other guests to appear more confident. Think about the purpose of the party. Learn your way around the party. Tweak your personal habits to be more approachable. Look at the other party guests. Think about what you’re likely to have in common. Offer to help the host. Find the buffet table.

If you're nervous about entering a party when you don't know anyone there, it's a good idea to calm yourself before trying to meet anyone. Take a deep breath, breathing all the way down to your belly, and breathing out slowly through your nose. Repeat this slow, deep breathing several times. Make sure your feet are placed firmly against the floor, so that you’re well-grounded.  Bring to mind a positive visualization. For example, imagine yourself looking sleek and sexy on the dance floor, or someone attractive laughing at your sense of humor. Realize that no one’s paying attention to you, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious. After all, most people attending parties are also nervous. Repeat this process anytime you start to feel nervous at the party. You may be feeling terrified, but if you smile you’re more likely to look confident. Even if you don't know anyone else at the party, you can increase your social abilities through smiling. In addition, if you're feeling nervous, smiling can help to improve your mood, and reduce stress.  People often respond to a smiling person with a smile of their own, which will make you feel even better. Even a slight smile will be enough to help your facial muscles relax, and your appearance seem less threatening to other party guests. When you look confident, you’ll start to feel confident. What kind of party is it? Social interactions will vary depending on the reason you’re gathered together. If you’re attending a frat party, you’ll need different social skills than you might at a Christmas carol party held by your mom’s church choir.  Remember that other people may not know one another either. Considering the nature of the party, try to gauge how likely it is that many people may be making their first introductions. It will help you feel at ease to figure out the physical layout of the party, if it’s unfamiliar to you. Figure out where the bathroom is, where the food is, where the drinks are, as a way to get comfortable at the party.  Making your way around the...

Know when to get medical attention. Understand lab tests for chikungunya. Rest. Take pain medication. Exercise. Use oils or creams for skin irritation. Try herbal remedies.

Your doctor can collect blood samples to test for chikungunya and other mosquito-borne diseases. You should see your doctor if you experience any of the following:  Fever for more than five days or above 103 °F (39°C) Dizziness (possibly due to a neurological issue or dehydration) Cold fingers or toes (Raynaud's) Bleeding from mouth or under skin (this can be Dengue) Rash Joint pain, redness, stiffness, or swelling Low urine output (this can be from dehydration that can lead to kidney damage) Your doctor will take blood samples to send to labs. Several tests or methods will be run on the samples for diagnosis. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) will look for specific antibodies against the virus. These antibodies normally develop toward the end of the first week of illness and peak around three to weeks lasting up to two months. If they are negative, your doctor may repeat the blood test to see if they have risen.  Viral cultures will also look for growth. These are usually used within the first 3 days of illness, when the virus is rapidly growing.  RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) methods use virus-specific gene coding proteins to replicate specific genes of chikungunya. If it is chikungunya, then the lab will see higher than normal chikungunya genes displayed on a computerized graph. There is no approved/specific treatment or cure for this virus nor a vaccine to prevent you from getting it. Treatment is purely symptom management. The World Health Organization recommends that you start home care treatment by resting. This will provide relief and time for your body to recover. Rest in an environment that is not damp or too hot, which could aggravate your joint symptoms. Apply a cold pack to reduce pain and inflammation. You can use a bag of frozen vegetables, packaged steak, or an ice pack. Wrap the frozen back in a towel and apply it to painful areas. Avoid applying a frozen pack or ice directly to your skin, which could cause tissue damage. If you're experiencing fever and joint pain,...

Learn to compromise. Stay faithful. Keep the friendship intact. Suggest fun date ideas. Support each other.

Both you and your partner are going to have to do some compromising for the relationship to work. Figure out what’s important to you and communicate about that. Keep in mind, however, that it’s important to know the difference between healthy and unhealthy compromises.  For example, if dance is important to you, you could say: “Dance is important to me, and it would mean a lot if you could come to my recitals.” You should do the same for your partner in return by supporting their hobbies. If they attend your dance recitals, then cheer them on during their sports game. You may have to compromise on dates. For example, you could see his choice of movie,  but then go to the restaurant that you want. This one is crucial for a healthy relationship. If you’ve committed to being someone’s girlfriend, that generally means that you’ve committed to being romantic only with them until you break up. Avoid flirting or otherwise being romantic with other people.  Some people prefer open relationships where it’s okay to be romantic or sexual with more than one person. This takes a lot of maturity and communication from all parties. Never assume a relationship is open without talking about it first. Though flirting with someone else is not technically cheating, it can make some people jealous. Avoid doing this in front of your partner out of respect. If you find yourself tempted to cheat, you may not be ready for a relationship, or this may not be the right person for you right now. If you like someone enough to be their girlfriend, you hopefully like them enough to be their friend, too. Friends know how to have fun together and support each other. Keep those things at the center of your relationship, even though it’s now romantic.  Ask your partner how their day was. Check in with them when they’re sick or struggling. Send them cute notes and make sure they know you care. Keep doing things you enjoy together. Just because you’re a couple doesn’t mean that you have to spend all of your time making out.

Exposure therapy is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps people overcome their anxiety.
If you are experiencing anxiety, you may be wondering if you should see a psychologist or a psychiatrist. While both psychologists and psychiatrists can help you with anxiety, they are not the same. A psychologist is a mental health professional who has a

Talk to a psychologist about trying exposure therapy. Practice exposure therapy. Ask your loved one to help you practice exposure therapy.

Exposure therapy is when a person is exposed to the thing they fear the most, but within a safe and supportive setting. In the case of ASAD, you would have to face your fears of separation. To do this, you would very gradually expose yourself to the anxiety provoking situation—such as being away from your home or loved ones—for short periods of time. A psychologist or trained therapist can develop a specific exposure therapy program that can help you overcome your anxiety. If your doctor or therapist decides that exposure therapy is a good idea for you, and you are ready to try it, there are several techniques you can use. For instance, you might start just by thinking about being separated from your home or loved ones, and describe how you feel. Later, you might practice being separated from your loved ones or being away from home for periods of time that increase in length, and then discuss how you felt. Even short-term exposure therapy treatments (three to six sessions) can help ease your anxiety. If your therapist approves, asking your loved one to help you can make the therapy process easier. To begin, have your loved one go into a different room while you practice calming techniques, such as breathing exercises, or work on banishing anxious thoughts. Gradually increase the distance and time that you spend away from your loved one.

Gold ETFs are a way to invest in gold without actually owning the metal.
The following is a list of the top 10 gold ETFs.
The following is a list of the top 10 gold ETFs.
The following is a list of the top 10 gold ETFs.
The following is a list

Some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aim to track silver and gold prices and are generally bought through a stockbroker. They are much like derivative contracts that track prices, but they differ in that you will not own the underlying metal assets.   Two examples of ETFs are Market Vectors Gold Miners and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.  The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF attempts to replicate (before expenses and fees) the yield performance and price of the New York Stock Exchange Arca Gold Miners Index. The portfolio contains gold mining companies of all sizes from around the world. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF debuted in 2009. This ETF has become quite  popular among investors seeking to have indirect access to gold assets. Although similar to the Gold Miners, the Junior Gold Miners focuses on smaller companies involved in an ongoing search for new sources of gold. Because these companies are less established, there is more risk involved.    Term of Investment: Short term. There is a fee assessed each year that deducts from the amount of gold backing your investment, making this an expensive way to invest.  Nature of Investment: Medium risk. Because a typical ETF investment can be short- term if you prefer, risk can be minimized. Use the same broker you would use to buy stock, a mutual fund, or shares in a gold ETF, such as GLD and IAU on the New York Stock Exchange. A gold exchange-traded fund is designed to track the price of gold while maintaining the liquidity of a stock.  Note that gold exchange-traded funds do not give you the ability to physically control the gold. Therefore, some gold advocates believe this is an inferior way to own the commodity.   Another disadvantage is that ETFs trade like stocks, and you may have to pay a commission to buy and sell on the exchange. Moreover, any capital gains you realize must be reported for tax purposes.

Squirrels can't climb up a pole, so you can't use a squirrel buffer to prevent them from climbing up the pole.
This is a very good article. I have a squirrel problem in my yard. I have tried everything to get rid of them. I have a squirrel trap, but it doesn't work

Pick a feeder that keeps the squirrels out. Hang the feeder on a wire between trees or poles to put it out of reach. Place a slinky around a pole to keep a squirrel from climbing up. Rub the pole with shortening or petroleum jelly to make it unclimbable. Spike your birdseed with cayenne pepper so the squirrels won't like it.

If you're just feeding small birds, you can choose one that has a cage around the feeder. The holes are small enough for the birds to fit through, but the squirrels can't squeeze through. Another option is to place a dome-shaped squirrel buffer on the bottom. It curves down from the feeder, making it difficult for the squirrel to climb up a pole. You can also place one on top curving over the feeder if it's hanging from a pole above. String several empty thread spools or pieces of PVC pipe on either side of the feeder. Even if the squirrel climbs the wire down to the feeder, the spools or pipe will spin and likely cause it to fall off. Pick thin, slippery wire or thread. Fishing line works well for this purpose. Make sure there are no branches near the feeder that the squirrel can jump from. They can jump 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) horizontally. Attach the slinky to the pole at the top of the pole. When the squirrel tries to climb the pole, it will grab the slinky. The slinky will slide down, landing the squirrel back on the ground. Some squirrels learn to outsmart this trick, though. Often, the squirrel won't even attempt to climb the pole because it feels sticky. However, if a squirrel does try to climb it, it will just slide back down the pole. Sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes or powder into the birdseed, making sure to get it all through the seed. Birds can't taste the heat of this spice, as they don't have the receptors. However, squirrels can, and they don't like it.  They may get into your birdseed a few times, but they'll soon learn that it doesn't taste good. You can also use safflower seeds for the birds instead of regular bird feed, as squirrels don't like these seeds.

Address the concern as soon as possible. Talk to your family without your spouse present. Advocate for your spouse. Get your family’s point of view. Use “I” language. Avoid nitpicking your family’s behavior.

If your spouse has complained to you about your family, you want to work to solve the problem as quickly as you can. Ignoring or delaying addressing the issue can result in a resentful spouse.  Ignoring the problem will make your spouse dislike being around your family even more, and it will also start to impact your relationship. Let your partner know how and when you plan to address the issue. For example, you could say, “I’m going to bring this up when my mom and I have lunch next week.” Having a concrete plan of action will ease your spouse’s mind and will hold you accountable to follow through. Bring your concerns to a family member (perhaps one who could share the information with other family members as necessary) on behalf of your spouse. Your family has more experience in relating to you than your spouse. You also understand your family’s dynamics better than your spouse, and you have a better idea how to interact with them.  Have a conversation with your family member over the phone or in person. Let them know how your spouse feels. Listen to your family member’s perspective. Keep in mind, your family member may have no idea that their behavior has hurt your spouse. Ask for suggestions on how your family member thinks the situation could improve. For example, “What do you think we could do to help Carlos feel more included?” Explain how your spouse views the situation. Share your spouse’s feelings and give any background information you think is important.  Present a united front and indicate that this is causing you pain as well. For example, “Lena feels that you don’t like her after you said she wasn’t a good mother for not taking more maternity leave. She called you out on it, and both of us think you have been cold to her ever since. Did you know she only got two months of paid leave? It hurts both of us that you said that about her. It is not true, and we feel it was mean-spirited.” Find out if there is an issue you might need to address with your partner. Your spouse may not be an innocent...
