You can start your own taxi business for a few hundred dollars, but it will take a lot of time and money to get it off the ground.
The first thing you need to do is to get a license. You can get a license from the city or state where you live, or you can get a license

Decide if you will own your own cab or contract to work for a taxi company. Consider the costs of being an independent driver. Get hired by a taxi company as a cheaper alternative. Drive your own car for a service like Uber or Lyft.

Drivers who own their cabs take 100% of the fares received, but also have a host of expenses, from the cost of the cab to insurance to licensing. Employees of taxi companies either receive a percentage of fares (typically about a third) or rent the cab daily or weekly and pay all fuel costs. Depending on the city or state where you are driving, getting started with your own cab can cost anywhere from about $5,000 – mostly the cost of the cab – to nearly a million dollars. Yes, one million. In big cities where the number of licensed taxis is limited, the cost of obtaining a license is often outrageous – $872,000 on average in New York, $560,000 in Boston, $300,000 in Chicago, and $325,000 in Paris – leaving new drivers little choice but to work for established companies. Overall costs include:  The cab – Cars frequently used as cabs include Ford Crown Victorias, Dodge Caravans or Nissan Quests, Ford Escape Hybrids, and Toyota Priuses. They cost anywhere from about $3,000 used to over $30,000 new.  Insurance – The requirements for taxi insurance are much higher than for private use of your car – between $5,000-$10,000 a year.  Taxi meter – Around $180 used. A top light - Cost from $150 for a basic roof topper up to $1300 for a video topper. Car markings – You will need to put your business name and phone number on the side of your taxi. Decals start at $10-$25 per square foot. Working for a company means you will make less money per client, but it also comes without the prohibitive start-up costs. In addition, having a dispatcher can help you to get more fares. There are two ways that contract drivers get paid:  Percentage – The company pays all costs, including gas, and you take home about 30% of each fare. In Boston, drivers average about $200 gross per day, meaning they would take home only $60. In New York the average is closer to $250 for a take of $75 per day. Leasing – The driver leases the cab and pays for gas, but takes home all fares. Renting a cab costs around $100 per day, with fuel costs of about...

Mark the first entry. Start writing about your day. Let loose! Explain your relationships with people. Keep writing. Sign off.

Log the date at the top of the page so that you'll know when you wrote the entry. Consider giving your entry a title, like "Captain's Log," or addressing it with something like, "Dear Diary." Include where you are and how you are feeling: e.g. "8/12/2016: on the bus, feeling nervous." If you're going somewhere, include where you're going. You will probably read back over this diary at some point in the future – so give your future self a few points of reference to jog your memory. Don't think too much about what to say. Start by writing about your morning, or about whatever first comes to mind. Write about the most exciting thing that happened today. Write about your friends, or your classes, or your crush.  Write about the person you've been thinking about lately. Write about what this person said to you, and about what someone else told you about him/her. Write about what you think about this person. Write about what is making you happy. Write about what is making you sad. Write a story. The diary doesn't even have to be about you! Make up a character and write the first page of his or her diary. Pretend that you are writing this to a close friend, or to someone that you trust a lot. Your diary is your space to write about everything that you are thinking, good and bad. Don't worry too much about what you write. The important thing is that you start writing. In the first entry, when you mention people, write what relationship you have with them. Are they your best friend, worst enemy, or crush? This way, when you read back over your diary in years to come, you'll know what all of these people meant to you at this point in your life. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no matter how silly it sounds. Filling your diary isn't about making everything sound perfect. It's about getting out all of the words that are inside of you!  If you can't think of anything to write, then write about how weird it is to be writing about yourself. Write about why you can't think of anything. Write about why you want to keep...

High-waisted chiffon pants and a silky tank top are the perfect combination for a summery look.
High-waisted chiffon pants and a silky tank top

Wear high-waisted palazzo pants and a silky tank top for a sophisticated look. Wear a bustier with cropped palazzo pants for a daring evening look. Choose a sheer button-down blouse for a soft, sweet look. Opt for a blousy tank and a jacket with slim-fitting chiffon pants. Consider a monochrome look for formal events. Opt for simple jewelry in bold styles.

Dressing up doesn’t get much easier than high-waisted chiffon palazzo pants and a silky tank. You can tuck the tank top in or leave it untucked, depending on the style of the tank.  If the tank is cut to fit a little boxy, it’s probably best to tuck it in, as this will emphasize your waist. If the tank is relatively short and is nipped in at the waist, it’s fine to leave it untucked. You can wear a short cardigan or jacket with this look if the weather is cool. Bustiers are strapless tops that are made to fit tight around your body, and they’re often cropped to show a little midriff. When you pair a bustier with flowy chiffon pants, you help soften the look, leaving you with an edgy style that’s still tasteful. Try this with cropped palazzo pants, stiletto heels, and a statement choker. A sheer button-down blouse and chiffon pants will create a breezy, romantic look that’s perfect for a date or a night out on the town with friends. The sheer fabric allows you to show off your figure underneath, and can create a  flattering silhouette. Be sure to wear a cami underneath the blouse! Slim-cut pants look great when they’re balanced by a flowy tank top. To make the outfit look dressier, top it with a fitted jacket or blazer. Finish this look with a pair of heels or ankle boots. If you’re attending a formal event, try wearing a single color from head to toe. This can be a neutral shade, like black or white, or you can opt for a bold color if that’s more your style.  For instance, if you’re attending a formal dinner, you might wear all black. If you want to wear chiffon pants as part of a wedding pantsuit, look for an embellished or lacy top that matches your pants. These can be traditional wedding colors, such as ivory or cream, or you can choose your favorite color. Since an outfit featuring chiffon pants tends to be somewhat minimal, it’s best to stick to simple, graphic jewelry. Big, solid pieces, like collar-style necklaces, statement earrings, and wide bracelets, tend to suit this style better than intricate...

The best spotter is usually a trainer, coach, or experienced gymn

Stretch out your muscles. Warm up with a few back handsprings. Practice doing the back tuck in your mind. Find a spotter you trust. Use a gymnastics mat.

Do backbends and butterfly stretches, as well as basic leg and ankle stretches. Be careful and always stretch first! If you don't warm up, you could hurt your muscles or injure yourself.  To stretch hamstrings: Sit with your legs straight in front of you. Reach for and grab your toes. Keep your back straight. Hold for 30 seconds. To stretch the legs and arms: Sit with your legs out, one out to each side. Reach up toward the sky with your left hand. Lean over and reach for your right foot. Hold for 30 seconds. Then, repeat on the other side.  Aim for a 20 minute warm up session before moving into tumbling. Once you're nice and stretched out, do a couple of standing back handsprings to warm your muscles up even more. Then try a few double handsprings. Start with a basic round off, then do two back handsprings in a row. Only pause for about 1-2 seconds between the handsprings. These will fully stretch you out and prepare your muscles for the standing back tuck. If you can't do a back handspring yet, you're not ready to learn the back tuck. As you're stretching out, visualize yourself successfully doing a back tuck in your mind. Imagine yourself in the starting position, being in the air, and landing the tuck perfectly. If you're nervous or scared, imagining yourself doing the back tuck can help ease your fears. The best spotter is usually a trainer, coach, or experienced gymnast. Their job is to help you get into position, hold you while you're in the air, and keep your posture correct while you try your first back tuck. With a spotter, you don't have to be afraid of falling -- they're there to catch you! Not only can they help you jump higher into the air, but they can also give you great advice on anything you may be doing wrong. Mats act as cushioning between you and the hard floor. If you do fall, you'll be much safer. They're also a great psychological motivator. If you're not worried about falling down, you'll jump higher and have better posture.

You can cut a tree's roots with a regular garden shears or scissors, but you'll need to use a special tool to cut a tree's roots.
I have a small tree that I want to cut its roots. I have a small garden shears and a regular garden scissors. I have a small tree

Cut the root where you marked. Grab the cut end and pull the root towards you. Install a barrier. Fill in the hole. Monitor the tree in the upcoming days.

For smaller roots, like those that are less than an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, you can use regular gardening shears or gardening scissors to cut the root. If you are cutting a larger root, you'll need to use a special tool -- a root saw or a mechanical reciprocating saw. You can purchase these saws at home and gardening stores or online. Some store locations will allow you to rent reciprocating saws for a daily rate. Grab the loose end of the root and pull it towards you until it tears free from the ground. If the root is embedded deeply into the ground, you may need to dig up more soil around the root. Once you're done, discard the root, and continue doing this to the other roots that you're cutting. To keep the root from growing back, put in a barrier under the soil before you fill in the hole. Use a heavy duty plastic tree root barrier, and install it 30-inches (76 centimeters) below the surface of the soil. You can purchase a plastic tree root barrier at most lawn and garden centers. Fill the hole you've made with mulch or fertilizer purchased from the store. As an alternative to mulch, you can also fill your trench with grass seeds or sod if you want grass in the area. Take your cut tree's roots and dispose of them. Take a look at your tree on a daily basis and evaluate its health. If branches are starting to die and fall off, it could be a sign that you've done too much root damage and have killed your tree. This is dangerous because it could cause the tree to fall. If this is the case, you'll have to remove the entire tree. If you notice that the tree is dying, it's best to call an arborist or landscaping company as soon as possible. They will be able to evaluate whether you need to remove the tree and the steps you can take next.

A dog is deaf until he is around 10-14 days old. After that, he will be able to hear.
A dog is deaf until he is around 10-14 days old. After that, he will be able to hear.
A dog is deaf until he is around 10-14 days old.

Consider your dog's breed. Notice if your puppy bites harder than his litter mates. Switch from auditory to visual or physical commands to test your pup’s hearing. Check to see if your puppy's ears move in response to noise. Notice if the habits and tendencies of your grown dog start to change.

Certain breeds have a higher risk of congenital deafness (being born deaf) than other breeds. These includes Dalmatians, Australian cattle dogs, Cocker spaniels, English setters, Beagles, Border terriers, Boston terriers, English bulldogs, poodles, Papillons, Pointers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and Shetland sheepdogs. Keep in mind that regardless of breed, all puppies are deaf until around 10-14 days of age. After this point, their ear canals open up and they should have full hearing. He may not be able to hear their squeals that will indicate to him that he is being too rough. If your puppy is deaf, he may also be the last in the litter to feed because he will not hear the food bowls being put down. While his litter mates may quickly respond to the rustle of the food bag, a deaf puppy will likely be oblivious to the sound or stay asleep. In general, deaf puppies are harder to train because they don't hear your commands. But, you need to distinguish between downright disobedience and deafness in your pup by using visual commands. For example, if during play your puppy bites too hard - instead of squealing or yelling, try blowing hard on his face while at the same time holding up a hand in the "stop" position. If the puppy is obedient, but deaf, he will quickly learn that a palm facing towards him means an unpleasant puff on his face, and ease off on the biting. A deaf puppy's ears aren't as mobile as a hearing dog’s. Whereas a hearing dog moves his ears to localize a sound, making them prick up or twitch to one side, a deaf puppy does not do this. As part of the ageing process, dogs can lose their hearing and go deaf.  Your dog may be going deaf if he does not wake up like he usually does when you get home from work, or if he is no longer afraid of loud sounds like the vacuum cleaner, thunderstorms, or fireworks. An older dog going deaf also may not as obedient as he once was, failing to come when called, or not responding to commands when he cannot see you or understand you by looking, rather than hearing.

Talk to administrators. Ask parents to get involved. Use social media to gather support. Let people contribute in their own way. Ensure that improvements continue.

If you think that your school needs improvement, you can start by talking to its administrators (a principal or headmaster, for example). You might also attend local school board meetings to voice your opinion. Getting administrative support is important not only because many projects will need official approval, but also because it is a way of communicating your concerns. Don’t be shy about asking to meet with your school administrators. If you are serious about improving your school and have some ideas, most will be happy to hear from you. Schools aren’t just places for students to learn—they are also an important cornerstone of any community. Families also care about schools and will want to be involved with any improvements that need to be made. Parents can get together at a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting, school board meeting, booster club event, or other opportunity and consider ways of helping to improve your school. While some people may not think that social media have educational value, social networks can be a powerful tool for organizing people. Make sure that your school is active on all major social media services. If it isn’t, talk to your school administrators about getting started. Anytime your school has an improvement campaign or project going on, advertise it widely using these services to boost involvement. Many school improvements will need a lot of support. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone has to contribute in the same way. When raising support to improve your school, make sure that people understand there is room for everyone to help. For example:  Some might be great at organizing people, while others will have talents in writing or design. Some will be able to devote time during school hours only, while others will have more time after school hours or on weekends. Some might be able to get involved on the school grounds itself, while others might be great at gathering support for your school within the surrounding community (by fundraising, for example).

Try stress-reducing techniques. Quit smoking Laugh. Sleep seven to nine hours at night. Consider reducing your alcohol intake. Check your blood pressure on a regular basis.

You can try yoga, listen to calming music, meditate, exercise, or talk to friends to reduce daily stress. Stress can damage your heart function and increase the inflammatory response in your body. It can also affect behaviors that impact your arteries and heart function. For example, many people turn to alcohol, smoking, overeating, and don't have much time for rest or exercise when stressed. This leads to high blood pressure, arterial wall damage and obesity that can all damage your heart function. Try a variety of stress-reducing techniques until you find one that relaxes you. You might also try deep-breathing exercises, massage, hypnosis, or tai chi. . Talk with your doctor about a smoking cessation program that will work with your lifestyle. Or, at least try to reduce smoking, since it contains thousands of chemicals that can seriously damage your heart. Smoking reduces heart function by increasing blood pressure, reducing exercise tolerance and increasing the likelihood that the blood will clot. Nicotine, the addictive compound in cigarettes, is known to increase heart rate and blood pressure. You should also take care to avoid secondhand smoke, which can also damage your heart. Stay in open outdoor areas, upwind from friends and relatives who like to smoke. Laughing can also reduce stress, which improves heart function. Researchers found that the old saying “laughter is the best medicine” holds some truth. They found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh compared to other people of the same age without heart disease. Make it a point to find the things in life that give you joy and make you laugh every day. You might try:  Watching a funny movie or television show Reading comedy books Laughing about the funny things your pet does Spending time around people that make you laugh Sleeping less than six hours a night or more than nine can increase your risk of heart disease and death.

Use bleach to clean surfaces. Rinse surfaces with clean water after using bleach. Clean areas exposed to feces or vomit. Clean your carpets. Disinfect clothing.

Chlorine bleach is an effective cleaning agent that kills norovirus.  Increase the concentration or buy a new bottle of chlorine bleach if the bleach you have has been open for more than a month. Bleach becomes less effective the longer it remains open. Before applying bleach to a visible surface, test it somewhere that is not easily seen to make sure that it won’t damage the surface. If the surface is damaged by bleach, you can also use phenolic solutions, such as Pine-Sol, to clean the surface. There are certain concentrations of chlorine bleach you can use for different surfaces.  For stainless steel surfaces and items used for food consumption: Dissolve one tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water and clean the stainless steel. For non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, or tile floors: Dissolve one third of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For porous surfaces, like wooden floors: Dissolve one and two thirds of a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. After cleaning the surfaces, leave the solution to work for 10 to 20 minutes. After the time period elapses, rinse the surface with clean water. After these two steps, close off the area, and leave it like that for one hour. Leave the windows open, if possible, as breathing in bleach can be hazardous to your health. For areas exposed to feces or vomit contamination there are special cleaning procedures that you should try to follow. This is because the vomit or feces of a person contaminated with norovirus can easily cause you to become infected. To clean the vomit or feces:  Put disposable gloves on. Consider wearing a facemask that covers your mouth and nose as well. Using paper towels, gently clean the vomit and feces. Be careful not to splash or drip while cleaning. Use disposable cloths to clean and disinfect the entire area with chlorine bleach. Use sealed plastic bags to dispose of all the waste materials. If the feces or vomit gets on a carpeted area, there are other steps you can take to make sure that the area is clean and disinfected. To...

The dog is excited to see the leash, so you clip it on and off.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure the dog is calm. If the dog is excited, it will be more likely to pull.
The next thing you need to do is to make sure the dog is calm

Pick the right kind of leash. Avoid using punishment-based training techniques. Tackle the excitement associated with wearing a leash.

A dog that needs leash training could benefit from the use of a training lead. This is a short leash that keeps the dog at your side. This kind of leash will let you correct bad behavior quickly and effectively by redirecting the dog away from distractions. A shock collar, choke chain, or prong collar has no place in retraining. While it might seem tempting to use a prong collar or choke chain, these work by inflicting pain and having the dog associate pain with pulling. Not only could these devices cause actual physical harm to the dog, but they work using fear rather than helping the dog to learn in a positive way. In addition, these collars are generally the mark of an inadequate trainer who doesn't know how to correct such behavior in any other way. Don't let this be a label applied to you, but instead retrain your dog in a humane manner using canine psychology. The chances are the dog is beside itself with excitement as soon as the leash appears. This is because it associates the leash with a walk. You want your pup to be calm when you set off, so that you are more likely to succeed in retraining.  To this end, clip the leash on and off the dog in the house, but without going for a walk. Your aim is to break the assumption that because the dog has a lead on it is going for a walk.  For example, when you are home, clip the leash on but go about your normal routine in the house. After 5 - 10 minutes, unclip the leash and carry on as usual again. Repeat this every half hour or so, so the dog becomes desensitized to wearing the leash.

It is difficult to make money as a pro cyclist, but some people manage to do so for a while. Pro teams usually only pay for equipment and travel. Even the payout for major races is actually pretty low. Choose a flexible job that will work with your training and race schedule.  Teaching is a profession that may lend itself to cycling, since you'll have summers off, which is when most of the season takes place. You might also consider working in a bike shop so that you can interact with other people who love the sport. Performing well at local events will help build your technique, confidence, and reputation. If you're entering with other members of your local club, be sure to work with them to dominate the racecourse. Look for local races by searching websites like Active.com or the official cycling website for your country. Though professional cyclists train extremely hard (like all other professional sports) the financial rewards associated with winning are much lower than those in professional baseball, football, basketball or ice hockey. As such, sponsorship is an important part of becoming a professional cyclist as the amount of cash available will determine the quality of equipment, coaching, and medical care you will have. Though sponsors usually don't donate as much cash in the amateur leagues as they do for professional cyclists, having a sponsor can make a difference in covering the costs of equipment, training, and travel. It's difficult to do, but worth trying all the same. The more attention you get in amateur contests, the more chance you stand of catching the eye of a scout for a professional team. At the USA Cycling website, you can research events per state and find which you are qualified to enter. If you're very lucky, you may end up cycling in an event where a scout will be searching for new talent. If you catch their eye, take the opportunity. Try out when a scout for a professional team asks you to compete for a professional team. Accept an offer to ride for a professional team, should...

This is a great recipe for a vegetarian gravy. It’s easy to make, and it’s delicious.

Cook the onions and mushrooms. Add the broth and heat. Thicken the gravy with water and cornstarch.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, and then add the onions and mushrooms. Cook the mixture for five to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and mushrooms become tender. Gravy is a thick meat- or vegetable-based sauce that’s used as a topping on meat, potatoes, French fries, and other dishes. It’s often made with the juices of freshly cooked meat, but it can also be made with vegetable bases like mushrooms. When the mushrooms and onions are tender, add the stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for five minutes. Stir once or twice in that time. To make this gravy suitable for vegetarians or vegans, substitute a vegetable-based broth for the beef broth, and replace the butter with vegan margarine. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. When they are fully combined, pour the mixture into the broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to return to a simmer. As the cornstarch heats up, it will thicken the gravy. Simmer for one to two minutes, then serve hot.

The pointe shoe ribbons are the most important part of the pointe shoe. Without the pointe shoe ribbons, the pointe shoe

Wrap the inside ribbon. Wrap the outer ribbon. Make a knot. Tuck the ribbons.

Bring the ribbon on the inside of the pointe shoe across the top of your foot. Wrap the ribbon across the top of your foot so the ribbon lies just on top of your protruding outer ankle bone. Bring the ribbon across the back of your ankle (over your Achilles tendon), and back to the side of your inner ankle.  Make sure you pull tight enough on the ribbon so there aren’t any folds or gaps when the ribbon crosses your foot.  The inside ribbon is going to be wrap around your ankle more than the outside ribbon. This will give your ankles added stability. While holding the inside ribbon in place on the inside of your ankle, use your other hand to cross the outside ribbon over the top of your foot to the opposite inner side of your ankle. Bring the outside ribbon over the inside ribbon you are holding in place, and wrap it around the back of your ankle (across your Achilles tendon). Then bring it back to the front of your foot (staying above your outer ankle bone), and bring it straight across the front of your ankle. You should bring it all the way over the front of your ankle, to meet with the inner ribbon you have been holding in place on the inside of your ankle. Again, make sure that you are wrapping the ribbon tight enough that there are no gaps or folds in the ribbon, and then ribbon is taut against your skin. With both ribbons at your inner ankle, bring the outer ribbon under the inner ribbon that you had been holding in place, loop the outer ribbon over the inner ribbon, and feed the outer ribbon down through the hole between the crossed ribbons and your ankle. Pull both ribbons taut. Then repeat that same looping and pulling motion with the outer ribbon to make a tight knot. The knot should fall on the side of the ankle, in the divot between the inner ankle bone and the back of the ankle on top of the Achilles tendon. This is the perfect spot for the knot to be placed so the pointe shoe ribbons can still keep a relatively flat profile on the ankle. Once the knot is made, turn the remaining ribbon strands...

Avoid placing pressure on the burn, and do not scrape the affected skin.  If the burn is on your arm, for instance, try to use your opposite arm and wear short-sleeved shirts.  If the burn is major, raise the burned area above the level of your heart.  This may require laying down and, for instance, propping a burned leg up with pillows. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen are over-the-counter medications that can help relieve pain and swelling.  Do not give aspirin to children younger than 12 years old. Apply lotion to the burn.  Aloe vera lotion or gel can provide pain relief and reduce swelling. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is a bacterial infection commonly associated with burns and can lead to painful muscular contractions in the jaw and neck.  Even minor burn injuries require a tetanus shot if you have not had one in the past ten years. If you still have pain with a minor burn after 48 hours, contact your doctor.  If the burn has not healed within three weeks, you should also consult a medical professional.

You can't expect to be understood if you don't communicate.
The first step to direct communication is stating your feelings. When expressing yourself, focus on what you're feeling. Try to abandon any mentalities you have convincing yourself you're inherently the victim or things are inherently stacked against. All you can know for sure

Stop expecting others to read your mind. State your feelings directly. Express your needs. Avoid escape mechanisms.

If other people were going to understand your needs without you telling them, they would have understood by now. Good communication skills involve both speaking and listening. A simple conversation can clear up a big misunderstanding. If you're trying to express yourself via pouting, sulking, or otherwise acting out, you cannot expect to be understood. Recognize that the only way another person will understand you is if you reach out to that person.  For example, you feel you're being asked to do too much at work. Have you told people in your office you need help or have you simply acted cold towards others? If you have not told anyone you need help on a project, chances are they don't know. Being cold towards your co-workers is not really communication and, chances are, no one knows what the problem is on your end. The first step to direct communication is stating your feelings. When expressing yourself, focus on what you're feeling. Try to abandon any mentalities you have convincing yourself you're inherently the victim or things are inherently stacked against. All you can know for sure are your own feelings, so focus on expressing these.  Start with the words, "I feel..." when expressing yourself and then briefly state your feelings and the behaviors causing them. This reduces blame as you're focusing on your personal reactions over objective facts. For example, do not say, "You guys gave me too short notice for this project and now I have to work harder than everyone else in the office." Instead, say something like, "I feel overwhelmed because I didn't get enough notice about the project." Focus on the present moment. Express how you feel now. Do not let past emotions or problems control how you act now. People with martyr syndrome may hesitate to express their needs as they feel comfortable with the victim mentality. Rather than reaching out and explaining what people can do to help, you may prefer to view your situation as hopeless and harbor resentments. However, this is unhealthy long term and can...

Whooping cough is a serious illness that can be deadly. It is caused by a bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. It is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The bacteria can live for up to two weeks in the air.
Whooping cough is a serious illness

Consult with your doctor about taking antibiotics. Avoid taking over-the-counter cough medicines. Get vaccinated for prevention.

If your whooping cough infection is diagnosed by your doctor in time (within two to three weeks) antibiotics such as erythromycin can make your symptoms go away more quickly because they can directly kill the Bordetella pertussis bacterial strain. However, most people are diagnosed too late (beyond three weeks), when antibiotics tend to be relatively ineffective. Ask your doctor if you're a good candidate to take antibiotics for whooping cough or not.  Even if it's too late to make much difference in your symptoms, taking antibiotics can help reduce the risk of you spreading the disease to others. If your whooping cough is particularly severe, your family members may also be given antibiotics by your doctor for prevention. If you are given antibiotics (typically for two weeks), make sure to follow your doctor's directions exactly, even if you start to feel much better before finishing all the medication. In addition to antibiotics, you can also treat whooping cough holistically, but check with your doctor on which home remedies are most effective. Although many people with whooping cough try to use various types of cough syrups to reduce or suppress their symptoms, most are not helpful and can actually prevent getting rid of mucus build up. As such, avoid all cough mixtures, expectorants and suppressants. Instead, focus more on keeping well hydrated (lots of water) and breathing in clean air.  Drinking lots of purified water (at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day) helps wash mucus down so your airways aren't as clogged. Breathing clean air helps to reduce triggering coughing spells. Keep your home free of irritants such as tobacco smoke, cleaning products and fireplace fumes. The best way to prevent whooping cough is to vaccinate your child and get booster shots as an adolescent and adult. The pertussis vaccine is typically given to children in a combination vaccine that gives protection from two other diseases, diphtheria and tetanus. Consequently, the combo vaccine is known as the DTaP vaccine.  Five DTaP...

If you’re using a screwdriver to drill a hole in the side of a window, you’ll need to make

Insert the wand stem. Hold a bracket against the top inside corners of your window opening. Create starter holes to make drilling easier. Drill 2 screws into the holes on the side of each bracket. Install support brackets if you have a big set of blinds.

Lay the blinds on a flat surface so that the sticker that says “Insert Wand Stem” is facing up and located on the upper left corner. Take the sticker off and insert the wand stem, which should’ve come along with the packaging. Hold one of your mounting brackets against the top of the window and away from the glass. Place a spacer behind it to ensure that it’s in the correct location. Make sure the brackets are positioned so that the latches hinge at the top of the bracket and open out. If possible, have a friend help you with this part. Once you have a bracket held in the position you want it in, hold a screw against one of the holes on the side of the bracket. Tap the screw gently with a hammer to create a starter hole. Do this again on another one of the holes located on the side of the bracket. Repeat this process on the other side of the window where the other bracket is located. Put the end of 1 of your screws into 1 of your starter holes while holding the bracket in place. Make sure that your hand that’s holding the bracket is as far away from the screw as possible, and then use a power drill to drill the screw in. If you aren’t comfortable with using a power drill, you can also do this with a screwdriver. Larger sets of blinds often have a support bracket that should be located at the top center of the window. If this came with your set of blinds, install it after your mounting brackets are in place. This should help keep the middle of your blinds from sagging.

Read the opening lines out loud. Revise the beginning once you have reached the end. Edit the beginning for clarity, voice, and style.

Once you have written the opening of your horror story, you should read them out loud to hear how they sound on the page. Note if the opening lines feel unsettling or disturbing. Check if the opening lines contain plot, characterization, setting, and voice. You may also read the opening lines out loud to a trusted friend or peer to get a second opinion. Ask your listener if they find the story creepy, disturbing, or horrifying. Be willing to take constructive criticism and feedback about the opening, as getting a second viewpoint on the beginning can make it stronger. Often, cracking the beginning lines can make it easier to then write the rest of the story. Once you have created a satisfying ending to your horror story, you should go back and revise the beginning. This will ensure your beginning still fits with where your story ended up. You should consider if the beginning section flows well with the rest of the story. You should also adjust the beginning to reflect any changes to your character or your setting that you made later on in the story. You want your beginning to feel like a natural start to the rest of the story. You should also read over the beginning section to ensure it is not confusing in anyway and that it is easy to follow for the reader. There is nothing worse than an opening section that does not make sense to a reader, as they may get so frustrated they stop reading any further. Make sure the character voice in the beginning section matches the character voice in the rest of the story. You want a consistent character voice throughout your story so it feels cohesive.

Play with a size 4 soccer ball. Choose 5 players per team. Set a timer for 20 minutes. Do not touch the ball with your hands or arms. Allow each team 1 time-out per half. Kick the ball into play if it goes out of bounds. Make use of unlimited substitutes. Send in substitution for a sent-off player after 2 minutes.

A regulation soccer ball is a size 5, which is about 27–28 inches (69–71 cm) in circumference. Futsal is played with a size 4 ball, which has a 25–26 inches (64–66 cm) circumference.  The smaller ball is a little heavier and has less bounce, making it a better option for playing indoors. One of the biggest differences between soccer and futsal is that futsal has 5 players per side, while soccer has 11.  Pick one player on each team to act as the goalkeeper. Choose a dedicated attacker for each team. This player, called the pivot, will lead the  charge during offensive play.  Select a dedicated defender, known as the last man, who stays back in case the other team gets the ball.  The remaining two players should play in the midfield and are known as the wingers. Futsal is made up of 2 halves, each of which is 20 minutes long, as opposed to the 45-minute halves in soccer. Another difference is that in soccer the clock continues to run, while in futsal the clock is stopped if the ball is not in play.  If there is a tie at the end of the game, more time can be added to the clock. The first team to score in overtime wins. For casual games, you can omit the timer and end the match when the first team scores. Just like in soccer, futsal players can not use their hands at all. However, you can use any other part of your body to pass or shoot the ball. No time-outs are allowed in soccer, but in futsal, each time gets 1 for each half. If a team does not use their time-out during the first half, it can not be carried over into the second half. In soccer, you throw the ball back into play, but in futsal, the ball is kicked in.  A ball that touches the ceiling is considered out of bounds. You cannot kick a ball from out of bounds directly into the goal and score. However, once you pass the ball to another player, it is in play as usual. In soccer, you are only allowed 3 substitutions. In futsal, however, you can have as many substitutions as you like, as long as they’re made in the substitution zone.  The substitution...

Contact your carrier to determine the process. Find someone willing to buy into your existing plan. Consider swapping plans with someone. Think about using an online service to sell or swap.

Let your carrier know that you’d like to sell your plan, and find out what’s needed to put that into effect. You may be told that this can be done with what’s known as an Assumption of Liability. This is a transaction that legally transfers your existing contract to another person.  The person taking over your plan will most likely be instructed by your carrier to read the carrier’s Terms and Conditions  of Agreement, and agree to abide by them. Your carrier may also have an Assumption of Liability form, which will probably have to be signed both by you and the person taking over the contract. The odds are that you either know someone, or have access to someone, who’s looking to change his or her cellphone plan. Ask around to your friends and family. You could also post a query on your social media sites. Obviously, make sure you’re dealing with someone who’s reliable and financially stable, if you expect the carrier to approve the change. If you’re not having any success finding someone to buy your plan, you might want to look into swapping plans, in which case you literally switch your plan with someone else’s. You’re a bit more limited in this scenario, because you’ll need to find an individual who currently has a plan you’re interested in—and vice versa. If you either don’t know anyone to sell your plan to or swap with, or you’d just as soon not be bothered looking around, there are services that will do it for you.  Conduct a browser search, and you’ll find a number of companies willing to assist you. However, expect to pay a fee for the service.  Obviously, do your homework on the company you’re thinking of using. Ask around to see if anyone you know has ever used the company before. You can also do a BBB search to see if the company is listed there, and what its rating is.

The pastel goth look uses soft pastels combined with dark liner. Apply the pastel shadow across your eyelid and under your eyes. You want to create a pastel base all along your eyelid, up to the crease. Then apply a layer of dark shadow or liner around your eyes. If you want to use more than one color, try putting one color along your lashes, another right above it, and a third along the upper corner of your eye. Put a thin line of one color under your eyes, connecting it to your upper lid at the corner. Glitter shadow can be a little tricky at first. Brush it on gently in layers around your eye, layering it gradually until you have the intensity you want. Be sure to pair glitter eyeshadow with black eyeliner for a truly goth look. If you get glitter on your skin, gently remove it with a small piece of double-sided tape.

You should ask questions that are easy to answer, and that are phrased in a way that makes it clear that you're not looking for a positive answer.
The first step in creating a survey is to decide what you want to know. You can use a survey to gather information about your employees, or you can

Rely on scale questions. Write a survey that takes less than 20 minutes. Phrase some questions negatively. Place questions about demographics at the end of the survey.

Scale questions present an opinion, fact, or situation and then ask respondents to rate how true or likely it is. Employees are more likely to respond to these types of questions, since they only have to fill in a bubble, than open-ended questions where they have to write out an answer. For example, you can ask questions like "My supervisor resolves customer conflict quickly" and then offer scale answers. Give them 5 bubbles in a horizontal line, and place "Strongly disagree" above the bubble all the way to the left and "Strongly agree" above the bubble all the way to the right. If your survey is too long, your employees are likely to give up halfway through and never turn it in. The survey should only take about 20 minutes, which would mean 50 to 75 scale questions. If you ask too many questions that seem to suggest you're looking for a positive answer, employees might stop the survey. Phrasing about a third of your survey questions negatively can prevent this. For example, instead of wording a question that says "We do a good job of resolving conflicts in my department," word it so it says "We do a poor job of resolving conflicts in my department." One of the most important factors in getting employees to answer surveys is anonymity. If you ask demographic questions up front, employees may feel it will reveal who they are, and they'll be less likely to answer the rest of the survey. If you do have to ask demographic questions, limit how many you include. Three is the absolute most you should use.

Make an appointment with the piercing artist. Arrive on time and prepared to get pierced. Care for the piercing properly.

Once you have settled on a design for your constellation piercing, you should make a formal appointment for the piercing with the piercer. The piercer should tell you how long the piercing will take and allot enough time for the session.  You should be aware of how much the piercing is going to cost beforehand so you are prepared to pay for the piercing at your appointment. Some piercers may require a portion of the payment upfront to confirm the appointment. Be wary of a cheap price for the piercing, as this may indicate the piercer is not of quality. You should get a breakdown of the costs for the piercing, from the piercer's services to the jewellery used for the piercing, so you know what you are paying for. You should arrive for your appointment with the piercer on time, with the area you are getting pierced clean and free of any jewellery. For example, if you were getting constellation piercings on your ear, you should take out any jewellery in your ear and pull your hair back so your ear is exposed.  Depending on your pain threshold, you may take over-the-counter pain medication before the appointment to help with any pain or discomfort. The piercer should walk through each step of the process during the session so you know exactly what is happening. Once the piercing is done, you should look at it in the mirror to make sure it is what you want. The piercer should then outline how to take care of the piercing so it heals safely. Always wash your hands before touching the area. You should clean the piercing three times a day using an aftercare formula. Remember to turn the earrings one full rotation at least three times a day to make sure the holes heal properly.  For the first six months of healing, you should always leave your earrings in or take them out for no longer than 24 hours as time. This will prevent the piercings from closing. Depending on the type of piercing you have, you may have a healing time of six to twelve weeks. Your piercer can give you a more specific healing time based on your piercing.

If you’re looking to

Give yourself at least 2 months to sell your coins. Have your rare coins appraised and graded. Don’t clean your coins. Pay taxes on your profit. Keep records of the sale and of your original purchase.

If you rush the selling process, you can be sure you won’t fetch the best possible price. Researching dealers and getting multiple offers takes time. If you’re going with another option, you’ll also need plenty of time to research auction houses or track down collectors. Start your valuation process by checking online price guides. If you think you have a coin that could be worth $100 (USD) or more, have it professionally appraised, graded, and certified. If its rarity and condition have been certified by a third party organization, you’ll have an easier time selling it.  A reputable dealer who’s a member of a collector’s guild will probably offer a free appraisal if you’re negotiating a sale. While you should genuinely be open to making a deal, you won't be obligated to sell your coins after the dealer offers an appraisal. When buying rare coins, knowledgeable coin collectors look for the CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) seal: http://www.caccoin.com. Getting certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PGCS) is another industry standard: https://www.pcgs.com. You’ll have to send your coin to the organization and pay for the appraisal and grading. This takes time and money, but it’s worth it if you have an extremely rare coin that’s worth a small fortune. You might be tempted to get your coins nice and shiny before trying to sell them. However, oxidized coins (coins with a brownish tinge) are usually more valuable than bright, shiny coins, especially if they’re old or rare. For example, you’d never want to clean ancient Roman coins. Removing the patina that shows an ancient coin’s age dramatically affects its value. Remember that you might have a tax liability after selling your coins. Depending on your location, you might be liable for 20 to 30 percent of the difference between the selling price and how much you originally paid for the item. If you sold a coin that you paid a lot of money for, it’s vital to have a record of your original purchase. Otherwise, your taxes might be based on the...

This means any cold ingredients, like cheese, hot ingredients, like meat or grilled vegetables, and your sauces. Make sure you have a clear and clean workspace and everything is within easy reach.  Keep things organized by separating your ingredients into individual bowls on your counter space. If you are making a meat lasagna, try minced beef, chicken, or pork mixed with a little bit of bacon and seasoned with herbs. Make sure your meat is fully cooked before layering it into your lasagna. For vegetarian lasagna, try mushrooms, sliced zucchini, and fresh spinach. You can use no-boil or regular lasagna noodles. You must precook standard, dry lasagna noodles to soften them before you layer them into your lasagna, while no-boil noodles cook during the baking process. Choose your noodles based on preference and how much time you have. If you don't have a lot of experience making lasagna, you can make a lasagna a lot more quickly with no-boil noodles. For the layering effect of your lasagna to work, you'll need a deep, wide dish. You can use either a glass or metal dish. Pick the dish that is deepest and wide enough for the size of the lasagna you need to make.  A deep dish will require longer to cook than a shallow one. Glass is a poor conductor of heat, but it also distributes heat more evenly. Using a glass dish will help your lasagna cook more evenly and stay warm if you need to wait for someone to get home before serving dinner. Metals, especially aluminum, are generally better at conducting heat. They heat up quickly, but also can lose the heat quickly once removed from the oven. Using a metal dish may crisp the edges and bottom of your lasagna more than a glass dish would. Also, because metal dishes lose heat quickly, you won't want to wait too long before serving.

Depending on what services you're offering, you'll need to purchase equipment such as floor cleaning supplies, trash bags, an industrial vacuum cleaner, and so on to set up your business. Get heavy-duty equipment that will be able to endure a lot of wear and tear and last for many years.  Make sure you have the right safety equipment to keep you and any employees you might hire safe on the job. Gloves and masks are a necessity if you're going to be handling toxic cleaning chemicals. Try renting equipment for the first few weeks so you'll have the chance to make sure it's up to your standards before making a purchase. You'll need a car, truck or van for transportation to and from your cleaning jobs. You may be able to use vehicles from an employer or other source, but if not, you'll need to lease or buy your own business vehicle. Reliable transportation is crucial for providing cleaning services to clients.  The look of your company vehicle is important. Driving around in a van that's run down with a lot of chips and dents isn't good advertisement for your company. Consider having your logo screen printed on your vehicle as a way to advertise. Cleaning services may start up as sole proprietorships, where the owner/operator actually does all of the work, because cleaning doesn't have to require many sets of hands. However, as your business grows, you may need to hire more people. Make sure you know about all of the legal requirements around this process as well. Also make sure you know your workers well. Taking into account the cost of labor, materials, and overhead, figure out how much to charge for your services you'll be making a profit. Do research to determine what the industry standards are for services like floor cleaning and janitorial services. You're free to negotiate prices with each new client, but it's good to have a baseline in mind so you'll be able to stay in business. You'll need to keep track of what your clients owe by sending them invoices that lay out requirements for payment. Let your...

You can easily get the materials needed to create a whitewash look for furniture from your local home improvement store.  White latex paint Sandpaper, sanding block, or orbital sander Water Water based polyurethane, if you want a sealant. A cloth A bucket or container Paintbrush Whitewash looks best on raw wood so you need to use sandpaper, a sanding block, or an orbital sander to sand down the furniture. This will remove any finish already on the furniture for the whitewash paint to create the look you’re wanting. You need to remove all of the sawdust from sanding before painting the whitewash on the furniture to ensure a smooth finish. Use a dry tack cloth to wipe down the furniture and remove any dust on it. Add one part paint to one part water in a bucket or container, and mix well. This will thin down the latex paint making it look more like traditional whitewash when you paint it on the furniture by letting the natural wood grain show through the paint. Use a paintbrush to paint the whitewash onto the furniture using long brush strokes that follow the wood grain. Apply thin coats for the best results.  Work in small sections because whitewash dries quickly. Allow the paint to dry completely, and then add more coats until you reach your desired look. If desired, after the paint dries. you can paint a water-based polyurethane on the furniture to create a sealant and a finish. This is optional, but may make the whitewash look last longer. Choose between a matte or satin finish.

Choose your chilies. Select your oil. Experiment with flavors.

All chilies are not created equal, so you have options when it comes to your chili oil ingredients. While Thai chilies are quite spicy, Ancho chilies will give your oil a smokier flavor. California chilies are very mild, and guajillo chilies have spice with a citrus tang. Make sure you do a bit of research before selecting the chilies you’ll use for your chili oil. Before deciding which oil to use for this recipe, you should determine that you’ll be using the chili oil for. If you’re going to be cooking with it, it’s great to use more neutral oils like vegetable or peanut oils. However, if you’re going to be using it as a topper for dishes, you might want to select something a bit more flavorful. In this case, a great olive oil or sesame oil can add an interesting flavor. Once you’ve figured out this basic recipe, don’t be afraid to get creative. Try new chilies and new oils to create different types of chili oils. Once you’ve discovered which combinations you like most, you can officially create your own, homemade chili oil for every occasion.

Wear the jacket with other shades of denim. Pair the jean jacket with leggings, colored jeggings, or joggers. Wear the jacket with light and airy skirts and dresses. Complement your jacket with patterns and pops of color. Accentuate your curves by trying different cuts, belts, or high-waisted pants. Accessorize your jean jacket with jewelry or add-on pieces.

Some insist that denim-on-denim can never be done, but a denim jacket can look great with denim jeans as long as you mix and match colors and washes. Match a blue denim jacket with jeans that are a noticeably different shade of blue. If your jacket is fairly dark, go for lighter blue jeans, and vice versa.  If you’re hesitant about blue denim on blue denim, black skinny jeans are an easy go-to for a blue jean jacket! Alternatively, you can also wear your jean jacket with colored jeans or white jeans.  However, if you choose a white or colored jean jacket, a pair of blue jeans will probably work just fine. If you’re not into jeans, no worries! Leggings, colored jeggings, and joggers are all very comfortable alternatives and are very in-style for women. Jeggings are a cross between jeans and leggings that are designed to be more stretchy than denim.  Khaki and olive green are jegging colors that tend to pair well with a classic blue jean jacket, as they prevent your style from looking too monochromatic. Matching a classic blue denim jacket with black leggings can create a casual athleisure look that you can live in on the weekends! Long, flowing dresses and skirts match surprisingly well with denim jackets. This is because jean jackets tend to have a heavier look to them, so clothes made of lighter fabric create a nice contrast.  Airy and flowy dresses and skirts tend to accentuate this contrast the most, but you have a lot of freedom here. Pick your favorite summer dress. Maxi-dresses matched with a cropped jean jacket can work in both spring and fall outfits. Use your jean jacket to tone down more eye-grabbing pieces. This can range from tops with bright colors to patterned scarves.  Print and color trends are easy go-to’s. A jean jacket lends itself well to stripes, but it can also work to simplify floral or other prints.  Blue jean jackets also look great with light pink tops or skirts. The light pink creates a pretty contrast with the blue, and it overall brings a spring or summer-y feel to an outfit. If...

Sit on the toilet. Find your vagina. Hold the tampon correctly. Slowly insert the top, thicker half of the applicator into the vagina. Press the thinner half of the applicator upward with your index finger. Pull out the applicator. Check for comfort.

Spread your knees farther apart than you usually might, so that you have maximum access and visibility while you figure this out, or you can squat and sit like a frog on the toilet seat. Alternatively, you can stand to insert a tampon, placing one foot on a higher surface such as a toilet seat. If this works better for you, give it a shot. However, most women prefer sitting on the toilet so that any stray bleeding is contained. This is the most common hurdle first-time tampon users run into, and it can seem really daunting. Once you figure it out, though, you're set for life! Here's how to make it a little easier:  Understand your anatomy. There are three openings: the urethra (where urine exits) at the front, the vagina in the middle, and the anus at the back. If you already know where your urethra is, feel an inch or two behind it to find the opening of the vagina. Use the blood to guide you. This might sound weird, but it'll help if you're struggling. Wet a piece of toilet paper, and completely clean up all the menstrual blood in the area, from front to back (or hop in the shower and scrub down). Once everything is clear, dab yourself with a clean square of toilet paper until you find where the blood is coming from.  Ask for help. If you are really and truly lost, don't worry, as many girls before you have been here! Ask a trusted female relative––such as your mom, sister, grandma, aunt, or older cousin––to help you figure this out for the first time. Try not to feel embarrassed, and remember that every woman has been where you are now. You can also ask your doctor or nurse to help. At the midpoint of the tampon, where the smaller tube of the applicator meets the larger tube, hold it between your thumb and middle finger. Place your index finger on the end of the applicator where the string comes out. Aim toward the small of your back, and push it up a few inches until your fingers are touching your flesh. Don't worry about getting your hands dirty––menstrual blood is actually pretty clean, as far as...

Measure how long and high the ramp needs to be. Wear eye glasses and a dust mask before cutting wood. Cut 2 pine boards to the length of the ramp using a miter saw. Use the side boards to measure and cut the ramp’s length. Create 2 side supports as long and as thick as the ramp. Slice 2 more pine boards to create the ramp’s legs. Cut out 4 boards needed to assemble the base.

Choose the spot where you plan on using the ramp. Starting at the top of the area you wish to help the dog reach, measure straight down to the ground to determine the height the ramp needs to be. To determine the ramp’s length, measure from the top of the area down to the ground at a gentle slope your dog will be able to walk up.  A few places where a ramp may be useful include near a steep step, couch, or bed. The ramp can be as long as you want it to be, although longer ramps can be more difficult to move and store. Make sure that the ramp’s slope isn’t too steep for your dog. If your dog is older or has trouble climbing small steps, keep the angle very gentle. Elongate the ramp as needed to avoid steepness. You will need to cut several pieces of wood in order to construct the ramp. Before operating a saw, protect your eyes and airways. Avoid wearing gloves, jewelry, or other long clothing that can get caught under saw blades.  Many home improvement stores will cut the wood for you if you buy it from them. Take all of your measurements in advance to reduce the amount of sawing you need to do at home. Also wear safety gear when drilling and assembling the ramp, since wood dust and shards are still a risk. These pine boards will make up the ramp’s frame. They should always be as long as the ramp you plan on installing. You can easily cut these pieces to length using a miter saw or jigsaw. Hand saws are another easy method you can use, but cheaper blades tend to blunt quickly. For an average-sized ramp, use boards 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) thick. Cut them 50 in (130 cm) long and 3 1⁄2 in (8.9 cm) wide. Lay a piece of plywood down on a flat surface, then adjust the pine boards to determine how wide you want the ramp to be. A reasonable width for many dogs is 12 inches (30 cm), although you can widen the ramp to compensate for larger dogs. Trace the side boards in pencil on the ramp, then cut it to size.  For a bigger ramp, get a piece of plywood that is 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick. Trim it so it is 48 in (120 cm) long and...

Measure the coffee beans. Grind the beans coarsely. Boil the water and then cool. Prepare your chosen press.

To ensure that you wind up with the right amount of grounds for your coffee, you must carefully measure out the coffee beans. For 32 ounces (946 ml) of coffee, which is approximately 3 to 4 servings, use a measuring cup to measure a ½ cup (51 g) of beans. The standard size for most coffee presses is 32 ounces (946 ml), but you can make fewer servings if you prefer. For a single serving, measure 2 tablespoons (13 g) of beans. For 2 servings, measure a ¼ cup (26 g) of beans. Once you’ve measured the beans, place them in a coffee grinder. Use the coarsest setting to grind the beans down until they resemble bread crumbs.  For the best flavor, coffee beans should always be ground just before brewing (ideally within 15 minutes). Grinding before this will lead to stale, oxidized coffee. In most cases, the finer you grind the beans, the weaker the coffee will be. The coarser the grind, the stronger the coffee will be. Pay attention to the grinder setting that you use, so you can adjust it the next time if you aren’t happy with the taste of your coffee. To make 32 ounces (946 ml) of coffee, you’ll need to heat 4 cups (946 ml) of water. The water should be 195 degrees Fahrenheit (91 degrees Celsius), which is below boiling. Boil the water in an electric or stovetop kettle, but then remove the water from the heat and allow it to cool for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute before making the coffee.  If you’re making a single serving of coffee, heat 1 cup (237 ml) of water. For two servings, heat 2 cups (474 ml) of water. You can use tap water to make your coffee. However, be sure to drink some first to ensure that it doesn’t have a bad taste. If it does taste odd, use filtered or bottled water instead. Examine your coffee press to ensure that the plunger device inside that pushes the grounds to the bottom of the pot to express their flavor into the hot water is working properly. Remove the lid and plunger, and place the ground coffee beans in the press.  You can find coffee presses that feature glass or plastic pots....

However, accepting your phobia is the first step towards addressing it. Being afraid of deep water is a common thing that affects millions of people. Everyone has a different degree of comfort with water, and very few people are entirely comfortable in deep-water situations. It’s nothing to ashamed of. Studies indicate that over half of American adults are fearful of deep water. Before you try to face water, take time to think back about when you first realized that your were afraid of it. Was there a particular incident or influential person that sparked your phobia? If you can recognize the origin of your fear, it can sometimes help to understand and deal with your anxiety. For example, if your father was terrified of deep water, it’s likely that he passed on the fear to you. Or, if you were in a boat that capsized, that might have triggered your phobia. If you understand that there’s a logical starting point, it may allow you to cope better with what can seem like an irrational terror.
