Choose the right shade of primer. Choose the finish of your primer. Choose the texture of your eye primer. Make your own primer

For general, everyday use, you want to look for a primer that matches your complexion or is just a tiny bit lighter. This will look the most natural if you forego eyeshadow and just do a liner and it won't alter the shade of your eyeshadow by adding pigmentation.  If you're doing a smokey eye or a dark eyeshadow, look for a darker primer to add depth to your look. If you are using multiple colors and really want them to pop, try a white primer. You can also use a clear primer for the most versatile option. Since primer is a base to even out your skin tone, it should really be matte or transparent, rather than shimmery.  Consider color correcting primer if you have dark circles or want to brighten your eyes. Primers with a yellow or peach cast will neutralize the purples, browns, and "bruise" shades of under eye circles. A primer with a little bit of green can neutralize pink or reddish skin. Matte primers are great for everyday use, because they tend to last longer and give you a more neutral base for your eye makeup. Even if your skin is not oily, eyelids tend to get a little greasy throughout the day, and the matte finish will help absorb the grease and keep your makeup in place.  A satin or shimmery finish works when you are wearing no shadow over your primer or plan to use a sparkly eyeshadow. Keep in mind these don't have quite the staying power as a matte primer, and that you shouldn't use a matte eyeshadow over a shimmery primer or it will look off.  If you have very dry skin, try a gel-based primer or one that illuminates skin.  Matte primers work with both matte and shimmery eyeshadows--they allow you to add all the shine using the makeup, not the primer.  Matte primers are especially effective in hot and humid weather, because it will keep the grease and shine under control. Primers come in gel, cream, liquid, or stick form. The texture of your primer will influence how it feels on your lids and how long it will last. Gel primers usually last the longest and can be worn with all types of eyeshadow....

Seek advice from supportive friends or family. Talk to supportive professionals about your physical transition. Consider seeing a counselor. Connect with the LGBT community.

Continue to reach out to those who trust and have been by your side in the past. Ask them about challenges they have faced in their own lives, and how they overcame them. Show them that you care about what they have to say.   Finding advice and support in person can be reassuring and helpful as you continue to come out and let others know about your gender identity. Understand that even if your friends or family have not personally experienced what it is like to come out as transgender, they may have personal struggles with their own identities.  For example, ask them, "Have you ever faced feeling like you didn't belong or fit in?" Feeling different or misunderstood is something that everyone goes through from time to time in their lives.  Use this as a way to connect with others who feel this way, rather than distance yourself. Many trans people benefit from hormones and/or surgery to help their body match their gender a little more clearly. You may be struggling with what you plan to do both physically and emotionally. Seek advice from experts who have helped others find their path. Talk with your doctor about making physical changes to your body.  This may involve hormone replacement therapy or surgery.  Talk with your doctor about a possible referral to a specialist in these types of medical procedures. Ask, "I am considering transitioning as a man (or woman) and want know about the medical treatments available in this area.  Can you help me or make a referral?" Coming out as transgender can be tough, and the ensuing transition process isn't always easy. A counselor can help you cope with the challenges, and offer advice on handling difficult times. They can also treat anxiety, depression, and other illnesses that trans people can be at risk for.  Some LGBT+ groups have counseling centers, and may offer individual or group therapy. Whether it's online or in-person, there is an LGBT community out there that can help you navigate your coming out process and what feels right for you. You don't have to feel...

Ask for a volunteer. Have your volunteer place one hand on the table with the middle finger folded. Ask your volunteer to lift fingertips from the table. Have your volunteer attempt to lift their ring finger.

Ask anyone in a group if they’d like to perform a fun trick with their hand.  Let any potential volunteers know that the trick isn’t dangerous and won’t hurt. It’s just fun and surprising. Make sure you and your volunteer have access to a table or other nearby flat surface before performing the trick. Ask your volunteer to put either of their hands onto a flat surface, but with the middle finger folded underneath. The back of the middle finger and the fingertips of all other fingers should be resting against the table or flat surface. Your volunteer’s hand should remain in this position. Instruct your volunteer to lift each fingertip off of the table, with the ring finger last. Have them lift first their thumb, then pointer finger, then pinky finger from the surface of the table. They should be able to move each of these with ease. Ask your volunteer to lift their ring finger from the table last, which they are very likely not to be able to do.  Enjoy the surprise and amusement of your volunteer and other guests. Have others try the same trick themselves if they don’t believe it. Try on both right and left hands as well. You can tell your audience that the trick works because the middle and ring finger are controlled by the same tendon in the hand, so one cannot easily be lifted when the other is folded. The other fingers are controlled by separate tendons so they can be moved independently.  Make sure that anyone trying the trick keeps their middle finger folded under and that this finger and all other fingertips remain flat on the table.

Place your oils and beeswax in a double-boiler. Melt the oils and beeswax. Pour the mixture into a blender and let it cool 1 to 1½ hours. Blend the mixture while slowly adding the aloe vera gel. Add 5 to 8 drops of essential oil. Mix everything together, then transfer it to a clean, glass jars. Store the jars in the fridge.

Fill a saucepan with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water, then place a heat-safe glass bowl on top. Add ½ cup (108 grams) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of jojoba oil, and 1½ tablespoons (21.32 grams) beeswax pellets. Hold off on the aloe vera and essential oil for now. Turn the heat up to medium and allow the water to come to a simmer. Let the oils and beeswax melt, stirring occasionally. You are ready once they turn liquid and translucent. Make sure that your blender can withstand heat (ie: glass). If your blender is plastic, let the mixture cool down first, then scrape it into the blender with a spatula. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor instead. Turn the blender onto a low speed setting. While it is turning, slowly pour 1 cup (236.5 grams) of aloe vera gel into it. From time to time, pause the blender, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Use a natural aloe vera gel. Don't use aloe vera juice or homemade gel. You don't have to do this, but it will give the cream a nice fragrance. If you use the right type of essential oil, you could also benefit your skin. For example:  Acne or oily skin: lavender, lemongrass, palmarosa, peppermint, rosemary Dry or aging skin: lavender, palmarosa, rose, rose geranium Normal skin: rose, rose geranium Any skin type: chamomile, palmarosa Blend the mixture or whip it by hand until it is light and fluffy. Use a rubber spatula to transfer it into several small glass jars. ¼ or ½-ounce (60 or 120-milliliter) jars would work the bet. You can keep one of the jars in your bathroom, but you should store the rest in the fridge so that they last longer. Use the cream morning and evening within 3 to 4 months.

Promise yourself that you'll wait 48 hours before doing anything. Remember, thoughts don’t have the power to force you to act. Sometimes extreme pain can distort our perception. Waiting before taking action will give your mind time to clear. Suicidal thoughts can feel overwhelming, and there’s no reason to fight them alone. Ask a professional for help by calling emergency services or contacting a suicide hotline. These services have trained people ready to listen to you and offer help 24/7. Suicidal thoughts and impulses are very serious. Asking for help is a sign of strength.   These services are free and anonymous. You can also call 911 (US), 999 (UK), or your emergency services number to be connected with a trained professional. If you are a university student, your university may have a suicide prevention line, often through campus police. If you have called for help and are still experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to go to the emergency room. Ask someone you trust to drive you, or call emergency services.  In the United States, it’s illegal for emergency rooms to turn you away in an emergency, even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t pay.  You can also look up mental health crisis centers or suicide prevention clinics in a directory. You may find low-cost options there. Your risk of suicide is increased if you’re alone with suicidal thoughts. Don’t bottle them up or keep them to yourself. Call someone you love and trust and share your thoughts with them. Sometimes just talking to a good listener can help you cope and be enough to calm your thoughts. Stay on the phone, or ask the person to come over and be with you so you’re not on your own.  You may feel worried or embarrassed about talking to someone about your feelings. The people who love you will not judge you for sharing these feelings with them. They will be glad that you called rather than try to handle everything on your own. You can't predict when new options might appear. It's impossible to know what might happen if you just wait...

Meditation is a fantastic way to clear your mind and escape reality; it is traditionally used to make the mind calm and peaceful. Proper meditation enables you to take your mind into a calm space and put reality on hold.. The best part is that meditation can be done in the comfort of your own home (or even bed) and requires no prior training or monthly membership.  Choose a peaceful environment, preferably one without distractions. The temperature should be comfortable, it should be as quiet as possible, and you should be able to be alone for 30 minutes. Find a comfortable position. Many people like to lay on the floor with their bodies relaxed, their feet pointed outwards, and their palms facing upwards. There is no “right” position in which to meditate, so find a position in which it is comfortable for you to lie still. You can also try the lotus position. Close your eyes. This allows you to tune out anything that is going on around you. If necessary cover your eyes with a mask or a towel. If you are in a noisy place, it may help to wear earplugs. Think of nothing. Relax completely, let your mind go free. Be aware of your breathing. Don’t necessarily try to control your breath, but simply breathe and be aware of it.  Expect good meditation to take practice. At first, it is almost inevitable that your mind will wander. However, with practice, you will be able to completely clear your mind during your period of meditation. When your mind does wander, bring your focus back to your breath.  Consider using downloadable meditation programs. Simply go to Google or YouTube and search for “meditation.” Listening to music is a fantastic way to clear your mind and make a mental escape from reality. Music has been scientifically shown to affect many different areas of the brain, and it can actually help you achieve self-awareness and regulate your mood. It is also a commonly used tool to engage in escapism.  If you are unsure of what type or genre of music to listen to, you can try to listen to ambient music or...

Amend the soil with compost or manure before you plant. Find a garden bed that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Space plants approximately three feet (90 cm) apart on all sides. Plant the valerian start in an area where it can grow tall. Place a wire mesh cage over the seedling to prevent birds from eating it. Water generously.

Valerian doesn’t generally require a lot of fertilization unless the soil is poor. The soil should be between 5.5 and 7.0 in pH. The plants do well with some afternoon shade. They are large plants, so they need plenty of room to grow roots. If your valerian plants don’t tend to grow to a full four feet (1.2 m) tall, you may be able to plant them closer together. It can send out runners, so it may be best when offset from a vegetable or flower garden. Harvesting the blooms can keep it from being too invasive. Valerian leaves and roots are known for a strong, musty odor. The flowers can smell of vanilla, but are too strong for some gardeners. Keep this in mind before planting near a patio.  Valerian likes well-drained soil and plenty of water. Soak it every few days when you are not receiving regular rain.

This is a simple step to looking professional.  Clothes which are too big can be baggy and look sloppy.  Clothes which are too tight will be uncomfortable and could be considered risqué. You want your clothes to look and smell fresh.  Be sure that you keep them clean and tidy by washing them as often as possible.  If you don’t have a lot of time to wash your clothes, consider using a drop-off service or a dry cleaner. You will likely only have one apron assigned to you.  It is important to wash this along with your clothes, but you will also want to keep it clean between washes.  Resist the urge to wipe your hands on your apron.  Wash your hands or carry a towel to wipe them on if you need to. If your apron gets dirty between washed, dab the stains with a damp towel.  Try using soda water to scrub stains out. Tucking your shirt gives you a more professional look.  Beyond that, it is important to keep your shirt secured so that it doesn’t accidentally get on the table or in someone’s meal.

A breastfeeding pillow is a somewhat long-term investment. If you enjoy using it, and it works well for you and your baby, you will be using the pillow until you're finished breastfeeding. Keep this in mind when selecting your pillow.  Some mothers only breastfeed for 3 or 4 months. In this case, you may not need to worry about the length and size of the pillow. A baby in that age range should fit on most breastfeeding pillows without much trouble.  Some women choose to breastfeed longer. If you intend to breastfeed your child for a couple of years rather than a couple of months, go with a larger sized pillow that can support a bigger child. However, as a baby gets older he'll be able to hold his head up and control motor functions more easily. A pillow might not be necessary for support as you get past a year old. Your baby is not the only factor when selecting a breastfeeding pillow. You also need to keep in mind your own size and shape to make sure the breastfeeding pillow fits your body.  Many breastfeeding pillows are designed to strap around your torso so the pillow can support the baby's head and neck when you breastfeed. Try to select a pillow that will fit your midsection shortly after birth. It's helpful to imagine yourself 5 to 6 months pregnant, as this is a good gauge of the size you'll need.  Breastfeeding pillows come in different shapes: "c" shape, "o" shape, and the crescent shape. The "c" shape tends to be the most universal shape and generally fits the most body types while providing adequate arm support.  O-shaped pillows wrap around the entire body, which can be good if your need extra support after pregnancy due to complications or a c-section.  Crescent shapes are designed to wrap around the side of your body. They might not work as well for smaller women as the sides might fall on the back of the chair, sofa, or wherever you're sitting. Some crescent shaped pillows, however, are adjustable and can be maneuvered to fit multiple sizes. Fastening straps are a popular addition to...

Manage your parents’ expectations. Show signs of improvement. Keep a low profile.

Chances are your parents will check on you during your day home to either make sure you’re not faking, or to see if you’re feeling better.  If your parents are at home with you, then just pretend to sleep and be sure to act accordingly when they check in on you. If your parents are at work, call to check-in with them. This will make you seem responsible, and not seem like you're having fun. If they call to check on you from work, wait for the phone to ring three or three and a half times before you answer, and sound as tired as you can. If you do stay home, pretend to sleep a lot and gradually start "getting better".  Around mid-day, remove one or two of your symptoms. If you don't show any signs of improvement towards the end of the day, your parents might want to take you to the doctor, who will see that there's no illness to be found. If you think your parents will take you to the doctor, try to phase out the sickness or just admit it. You're supposed to be home sick in bed, remember?!  Don't leave or get caught outside of the house. If a neighbour or friend of your parents sees you, they might tell. Be sure to put away any games before your parents come home. If they see you've been having fun, they'll suspect that you were faking the whole time. Clear out your internet history so that they won't know you were playing on the internet during the day. Don't forget to especially clear this search from your history.

Have confidence. Dress in a flattering fashion. Make eye contact. Use body language. Flirt. Be upfront.

Men are attracted to confidence. In fact, many men find confidence more attractive than pure physical beauty. Try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. This will prove attractive to most men.  It's important that you feel confident and attractive when trying to gain the interest of a man. In other words, do not try to be something you're not. Be yourself and be upfront about your interests and passions. This goes for online dating as well. While a cute profile picture might get a man to click on your profile, he won't end up messaging you if you have generic information included in your "About Me" section. Let your personality show in your online dating presence as well. When first meeting someone, most people assess them visually. If you're trying to seduce a man, make sure you dress in a flattering fashion to get his attention.  Remember, confidence is key. If you don't feel sexy, you won't appear that way to a man. If you're more comfortable in jeans and tees than dresses, try picking a flattering, sexy casual outfit rather than forcing yourself into an evening gown. If you're unsure how to dress in a flattering way, try asking a stylist at a department store to help you pick outfits that work for your figure or frame. When trying to get a man's interest, eye contact is important. Men often gauge sexual or romantic interest based on a woman's eyes and facial expression. Some studies propose this is because women are less likely to show interest with their bodies. Maintaining eye contact for the night can show a man you're interested. Do not be afraid to use your body to flirt. This can help a man see you are interested in him sexually.  Sit up straight and do not lower your chin. This makes you look confident about your body. Do not be afraid to use gentle, light touches. Touch his arm or shoulder. Place your hand on his knee. Tug at his hair. You should always find ways to flirt when first meeting a man.

Create a system for keeping track of each character’s profile. Start building a character profile, even if you don’t know all the details. Consider the kind of story you’re writing to guide your characters. Spend some time world-building before you begin to write.

A character profile is a place where you keep important details and dates for every character in your story, from what their allergies are to the date that one really important thing happened. Do this for every character, no matter how small their role. There are a lot of ways you can organize this information:  Keep a file folder with notes for each character. Have a notebook where you keep the character details. Use a word document on your computer. Utilize the “notes” function on your smart phone. Write details on sticky notes and have a wall dedicated to character development where you can display them. Sometimes details about characters don’t make themselves apparent until you’re in the midst of writing. But—whatever details you can decide on up front, write them down. Things to include:  Their name, age, occupation, special skills, education, family details, height, weight, eye and hair colors, mannerisms, habits, and important dates. There are so many details you can include, and a lot of them may never make it into your story. But the fact that you know them helps you write a more well-rounded and believable character. Visit https://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jun98/how-to-create-a-character-profile-6986 for a more comprehensive list of things you can include in the character profile. Did you start your project with a great story idea? Or are you being driven by an awesome character and aren’t quite sure of the plot yet? There is no right answer! But it’s helpful to think about where you think the story is going and how your character lives in that world. Add these details to your character profile. For example, if you have an awesome idea for a love story and you know some of the twists and turns it’ll take, write them out and see if your character fits into those moments. If you need a protagonist who is romantic and plans extravagant gestures, it probably wouldn’t make sense if your character is forgetful or sloppy.

Make a budget. Save money. Cancel joint credit cards. Close joint bank accounts.

Separating from a spouse almost always reduces your income and increases your expenses. Accordingly, you need to create a budget, preferably before you separate. You can make a budget with your wife. However, since you will be living alone, you really need to take control of financial decision-making yourself.  Look at all sources of income. If you are staying with the children, you can expect child support payments from your wife. But these can take time to establish. Also, you should ideally manage to support yourself as best as you can without relying on your spouse. Take a hard look at your expenses. If you were used to splitting the cost of car insurance, food, and entertainment with your wife, you will now be entirely responsible for those. Your individual expenses could increase as a result. You will need a cushion to help you transition to your single life. Ideally, you should save at least three months of expenses. This amount will give you time to set up your new life. Any balance on a joint credit card is generally the responsibility of both you and your wife. You want to make sure that no new expenses are added to the card. Call up the credit card company and ask that no new charges be allowed on the card. If necessary, you can close the card. You also should try to get a credit card in your own name. You should not use any joint card after you separate. Once you decide to separate, you don’t want your wife cleaning out the joint bank account. For this reason, you should move quickly to either close the account or require that both spouses provide signatures before money can be removed.  Call up your bank and ask how you can limit withdrawals. Also cancel overdraft lines and lines of credit. Make sure to have any direct deposit routed to a new bank account. This may take some time to go through so start as soon as possible. If you need your wife to agree to close the account, then you should find a good time to talk and raise the issue with her.

Having a game plan for what you and your family will be eating each week can be a game changer. With a meal plan, you will be more likely to eat healthy foods, even if you are on the go. Sit down with your family once a week and make a plan for what you will be eating at each meal during the upcoming week. Once you have your healthy meal plan put together, you will need to make a shopping list. Go through all the recipes you will be making and list all of the ingredients you will need to make your meals. Be sure to go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to see what ingredients you already have on hand. Making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy food is one of the most important parts of successfully preparing healthy meals. Pick a day that you can make a weekly shopping trip, and make it part of your weekly schedule. When you come home from a long day of work, chopping and preparing ingredients for a healthy dinner can seem overwhelming. You can get ahead of the game by taking an hour or two on the weekend and prepping ingredients for your meals.  For example, you can chop the veggies you'll need for weeknight dinners on the weekend. If you're planning on making meals with rice, you can try cooking a big batch on the weekend. You can make the most of your time in the kitchen by giving batch cooking a chance. Batch cooking is when you prepare multiple portions of several meals that you will eat at a later date. You can store the portions in your refrigerator to eat later in the week, or in your freezer if you plan on consuming them later that month. You can be even more successful at preparing healthy meals on the go if you have a plan for your leftovers. For example, you can use Monday's leftover roasted pork in Tuesday's pork barbecue sandwiches. Crockpots will do the cooking for you while you are at work, school, or running errands. For example, you can place four chicken breasts and a can of salsa in a crockpot for 4 hours on low heat. When you come home, shred the chicken and place in...

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.
Viral infections are contagious, which means that

Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...

Know how anxiety can feel. Watch for feelings of nervousness or powerlessness. Pay attention to the physical manifestations. Note how much it affects your life. Understand anxiety can appear in different ways.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing. Focused phobias are a fear of one particular thing or several things; in other words, when you are...

The Law of Cos

Learn the Law of Cosines. Look at your triangle and assign variable letters to its components. Plug your information into the equation and solve for side c. Use side length c to find the perimeter of the triangle.

The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!

Recognize if your guest of honor is mobile or requires assistance. Note if there are any risks involved. Consider transportation to and from the party. Remember the interests of the honored guest. Include your honored guest in the planning.

Does he or she get around easily, or only with help? Does he or she have trouble with steps, or walking through crowded rooms? Make sure your chosen venue is wheelchair-accessible (if necessary). Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. It may not be the best decision to bring a senior citizen out in nasty weather conditions as they are more susceptible to catching illnesses. Be prepared to change plans if the honoree is unwell on the date of the party. It would not be wise to have a 90-year-old attend a party if he or she was under the weather. Many (though not all) 90-year-olds no longer drive their own vehicles on a daily basis. Recognize if this will be an issue for your guest of honor. Offer to be a driver, or find someone who is willing to drive your honoree and his or her friends, if necessary. While you are planning a 90th birthday party, it does not have to be solely focused on the number 90. Instead, think of the current or past interests of your honoree and see if you can incorporate these into the party. This is a great opportunity to be creative!  If your birthday honoree loves the outdoors, consider booking a place in a local park and bringing food to cook on a grill. If your birthday honoree loves Italian food, book a private room at the nicest Italian restaurant in town, and decorate it before the party. If your honoree’s favorite and most memorable moment was her honeymoon in Paris, recreate a French restaurant in your kitchen and dining room and take her back to her younger days. Giving him or her a hand in the party planning can be a great topic of conversation and a fun way for them to stay involved in the party process.  Questions you may want to ask include:  Would you rather a small family gathering, or a large event with friends included? Would you rather a party in the afternoon or in the evening? Would you like a home-cooked...

If you're having contractions, it's not necessarily preterm labor.
If you're having contractions, it's not necessarily preterm labor.
If you're having contractions, it's not necessarily preterm labor.

Feel for contractions. Know the triggers of Braxton Hicks contractions. Help your Braxton Hicks contractions subside. Notice pressure in your abdomen. Pay attention to abdominal cramps. Look out for a backache. Watch for new vaginal discharge or changes in your vaginal discharge.

A contraction will feel like a tightening of muscles in your abdominal area, especially near your baby. However, a contraction is not always a sign of preterm labor, as you can have false contractions called Braxton Hicks contractions.  Braxton Hicks contractions are generally less severe than regular contractions. Though Braxton Hicks can be painful sometimes, actual contractions are usually accompanied by more pain and are more regularly spaced. In fact, actual contractions will move closer together as time passes.  If you're having more than eight contractions in an hour or more than four in 20 minutes, your contractions are likely not Braxton Hicks.  If you are having contractions and are worried, don't be afraid to call your doctor. She'll be better able to determine whether you are having false contractions or regular contractions. These false contractions can be triggered by a number of activities. If you or the baby has been moving around a lot, that can trigger them. You may also have a round of these contractions after sex or if you are especially dehydrated. Finally, a full bladder or even someone just touching your stomach can trigger these contractions. Therefore, if your contractions are light and started after these activities, they could just be false contractions instead of preterm labor. If your contractions are Braxton Hicks, they will eventually subside. To hurry the process along, try changing how you're positioned. Lie down if you've been moving around, or do the opposite if you've been lying down. You can also try drinking more fluids or getting extra rest to help alleviate these contractions over time. If you start feeling pressure in your lower abdomen, that could be a sign of preterm labor. You may also feel pressure in your pelvic area. If you're not sure whether the pressure you're feeling is preterm labor, call your doctor to be sure. If you start feeling cramps, it may be a sign of preterm labor. Generally, these cramps will feel like you are on your period. In addition, diarrhea...

Gather your supplies. Take some measurements. Compare your facial features. Examine the shape of your jaw.

There are multiple face shapes out there, and knowing what yours is can help you determine the hair cuts, eyebrow shapes, and makeup styles that will be most flattering.  To figure out the shape of your face, you will need a ruler and calculator. The most common face shapes include oval, heart, long, round, square, diamond, and pear. In a mirror, hold a ruler in front of your face to measure the basic length and width of your face, without taking into account the additional measurements added by protruding features like your nose. Take the basic measurements of your:  Forehead, from one eyebrow arch to the other Jawline, from the tip of your chin to the edge of your jaw (times two) Face length, from the tip of your chin to the start of your hairline Cheekbones, from the outside corner of one eye to the other (across the bridge of the nose) One of the easiest ways to determine the shape of your face is to look at the parts that are widest and longest.  If your measurements are roughly equal, your face is likely square, round, or oval. If your forehead is widest, you likely have a heart-shaped, or inverted triangle face. When cheekbones are the widest, this generally indicates a diamond-shaped face. A wider jaw often means a pear- or triangle-shaped face. If the length measurement of our face was the largest, this is oblong. The shape of your jaw plays into the overall shape of your face, so you must consider this when determining the shape of your face.  Rounded jaws mean a round or oval face Strong and well-defined jaws often mean square, diamond, or triangle faces Pointed chins indicate a diamond-shaped face

If you are parking facing uphill, make sure to leave a full car's length of space behind your vehicle so that you can back into the curb. If you are parking on a downhill incline, you will need to leave a full car's length of space in front of your car so that the wheels can roll forward into position. Face your wheels away from the curb if you are parking uphill. Turn them facing towards the curb if you are parking downhill. Press your foot on the brake, put the car in neutral, and turn your steering wheel one full turn in the proper direction. This will keep the car from rolling out into traffic if the brakes fail.  If there is no curb, then turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road regardless of whether you're parking up or down. This way, your car will roll into the dirt or grass beside the road, and not into the path of oncoming traffic. Avoid "dry steering" – turning your wheels while the vehicle is completely stopped. This puts pressure on the tires and the power steering system. When you are ready, take your foot off the brake. Let the car roll slowly downhill until you feel your turned front tire touch the curb. Hit the brake and put the car in park. Make sure that there are no other cars coming up or down the hill behind you. Check your mirrors and look over your shoulder.

Determine whether you have the need for a consulting contract. Determine whether you have the ability to enter into a consulting contract. Ensure the terms and provisions you want to put in your contract comply with your state's laws.

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement. You will write a consulting contract if you are looking to hire a consultant or if you are a consultant looking to be hired. A consultant is someone who provides professional or expert advice. You will need to decide if you have the legal capacity to enter into a valid contract, which involves knowing what you are getting yourself into by entering into the agreement. Also, you will want to know what is needed to create a legally binding contract. Those requirements include:  An offer; Acceptance; Valid consideration; Mutual assent; and A legal purpose. Contract law is always going to be state law, so you will need to make sure you meet your state's requirements. For example, some states have strict laws regarding liquidated damage provisions while other states allow them more freely.

Rehearse your invitation before you ask. Find the right time and place. Ask him if he is going to Sadie's. Ask him if he would like to go with you. Respond to his response gracefully.

If you plan to ask a guy to the dance directly, it might make you feel a little more confident if you internally go over what you plan to say a few times before you actually ask. That way, you won't have to worry about what the right words should be; you only need to worry about the act of saying them. On the other hand, you do not want to sound as though you are reading from a script. Get a general idea of what to say and how to say it, but ad-lib as needed and prepare yourself for unexpected questions or responses. Asking loudly in the middle of lunch with all of his friends and the entire cafeteria watching might not be the best idea, especially if you're not sure about his response. The best time to ask him is toward the end of the school day, during a moment in which you can pull him off to the side and ask him discreetly. Avoid asking him at the beginning of a shared class or school day. If he turns your invitation down, the rest of the time you spend around him that day can feel awkward. Keep in mind that there might be another girl who has already asked him to the dance, or that he might have other plans that day that would prevent him from going. Asking about whether he plans to go or not can save you some embarrassment.  If he says that he's going with someone else, that should give you your answer without you needing to ask the question. If he says that he's not going, find out why. He might be busy and unable to go, which rules him out as an option. If he just hasn't been asked, though, you have your chance. If you get the green light, directly ask him, “Would you go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me?” Look him in the eye and smile as you ask. Your body language should be confident and friendly. If his answer is yes, you can show your excitement, but try not to get too crazy about it. If his answer is no, smile, stay calm, and walk away with your head held high—after all, at least you were brave enough to ask.

Obtain a small game license. Research what squirrels you can hunt. Observe proper hunting seasons. Familiarize yourself with bag limits. Choose your weapon. Take all of the proper safety precautions.

Squirrels are categorized as small game in most states (interestingly they are classed as vermin in the UK) and are therefore subject to the statutes pertaining to small game hunting. Obtaining a small game license in any given state usually entails filling out a form with your address, a driver’s license number, and other information, as well as paying a small fee.  Though small game licenses aren’t usually as regulated, many states only grant a specific number of certain license types each year, so you may want to pay attention to the date your state begins accepting license applications for the year. For any questions you have regarding licensing, seasons, limits, etc. contact the proper governing body in your state. Each state’s hunting regulatory department goes by a different designation as well. For instance, in Nevada, it is the Nevada Department of Wildlife, whereas New York’s equivalent is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Many states additionally regulate the specific breeds of squirrel you can hunt in any given season. In South Carolina, for instance, you can hunt gray squirrels, but many areas do not permit the hunting of fox squirrels.  These specific regulations vary by state and region based on existing populations. Many states may also differentiate between squirrel breeds that require a license at all. For example, the California Fish and Game Code classifies ground squirrels as non-game mammals, which can be hunted without a license if they are a nuisance to crops or property; however, all tree squirrels in the state are classified as small game and require the proper license. If you want to hunt squirrels on your own property because they are damaging your home or property, then check with your state’s regulatory department for specifics. This may require having a professional out to identify the breed as well. Each state will additionally observe widely varying seasons when it comes to squirrel hunting. For example, squirrel hunting season starts in Virginia in...

You might want to host your own television show one day. Put that down. Then, include an easier variation of that goal, like hosting a YouTube show that gets 5K views. The easier variations can act as stepping stones to the harder goals.  Do you want to write a novel? Start with publishing a short story in a local literary magazine. If one of your goals is to open a bakery, you could start by running a successful baked goods stand at your local farmer’s market. Looking at all of the items on your lifetime bucket list may be overwhelming. This can lead to inaction. Short term goals are less daunting, so try breaking up your list by time periods. You can break it up by decades, years, or seasons. For example, you might have mini bucket lists for your 20s, 30s, and 40s. Or, you might make a bucket list just for the summer. It’s completely up to you. Choose a time scale that seems most manageable. You bucket list may--and should--include items that seem difficult to achieve. The challenge of the bucket list is part of its beauty. That being said, you should remove any items that are completely unrealistic. Your list should contain items that are hard, but not impossible, to achieve.  For example, if you are a 50-year-old man with limited athletic experience, you will probably never be a professional basketball player. However, you might be able to win the championship in a local club league with practice. You shouldn’t remove an item just because it is expensive. Expensive goals can be achieved in creative ways. Go through your list, and place a star next to the 3 items you want to work on first. It’s a good idea to start with the items that excite you the most. If any items have a time limit, prioritize those. People are always growing and changing. Likewise, some of the things that are important to you may change over time. Your list should be flexible.

Examine the name. Consider the origin. Take into account accent marks and other diacritics. Look for diacritics indicating tone.

If you've seen it but not heard it, oftentimes just sounding it out in your head first can help a lot with your pronunciation. Work with each syllable in turn. Unless it's Welsh.  Think about other words you already know that look similar to the name. For example, the letters q-u-i in French sound like the word key in English. So just as the word "quiche" is pronounced keysh, the name "Quitterie" would be pronounced key-tree. Sometimes city names can get your mind going. Think of ones like San Jose, Guadalajara, Lille, Versailles, and Guangzhou. Does it look French? Spanish? Chinese? Know that every language has a unique alphabet and set of sounds associated with it, so any prior knowledge of languages will assist you in your pronunciation.  Spanish has a very consistent alphabet, unlike English. The vowels are always pronounced "ah," "eh," "ee," "oh," and "oo." French has a fairly consistent alphabet as well, but it's a bit more tricky. If the name ends in a consonant, don't pronounce it. "Robert" becomes row-bear. And a name like Michelle? It's mee-shell, not meh-shell. Mandarin Chinese is trickier still. The "Q" is pronounced ch, "X" is pronounced sh, and "Z" is pronounced dr. "Xiaojin Zhu" is shiao-jin drew. If you're a bit confused about "ei" and "ie" in German, opt for the second letter's name. "Steinbeck" has a vowel like "I"--the second letter. "Auf Wiedersehen" has a vowel like "E"--the second letter. They can significantly change the way a name is pronounced.  In Spanish, you want to put the most emphasis on the syllable that has the accent; e.g., María should be pronounced ma-REE-uh. Unfortunately, French doesn't follow the same rules. The sounds "è" and "é" are two different sounds. Though they are very similar, they are similar to eh (the sound in red) and ay, respectively. Examples of this include Renée (ruh-nay), André (on-dray), Honoré (ah-nor-ay), and Helène (heh-lehne).

The Dark Web refers to a sliver of Deep Web data that is impossible to access without special software and links. Unlike most Deep Web data, information found on the Dark Web is usually comprised of broken links, dead websites, and other useless information. Much of the Dark Web's purpose is to provide anonymity to journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and the like. While the Dark Web is mostly harmless if you aren't actively trying to get into trouble, the fact remains that the Dark Web's functional is largely used for criminal activity. On the flip side, the legal parts of the Dark Web are fairly plain.  Essentially, if you aren't attempting to get into illegal sites, you'll see a lot of broken links and slow load times for normal sites. If you are trying to access illegal content, doing so is much more likely to result in you getting caught rather than actually finding the content itself. While most Dark Web horror stories are nothing more than campfire tales, you should refrain from contacting anyone or downloading items from the Dark Web. While more secure than in past renditions, Windows 10 still contains security flaws that make it exceptionally vulnerable to hacking or virus attempts while browsing the Deep Web.   Linux is strongly suggested for people who plan on using the Dark Web, with Ubuntu Linux being a common (and free) option. If you're on a Mac, you should be fine as long as you use a VPN and Tor. There are a couple of basic things that you should do in order to prevent unpleasant encounters on the Dark Web:  Cover your computer's webcam.

You'll need four pieces of insulated wire, with each end stripped. Read this section first to find out how each wire is connected, so you can cut each one to the right length. Typically, each wire should be about 5 inches (13cm) long. Solder one wire onto each of the two motor pins.  Read our guide on soldering electronics first if you don't have much soldering experience. Find the motor pins on the motor driver circuit that are labeled m1 and m2. Solder the other ends of the two wires onto these pins. If your driver does not have these labels, look for a diagram of your motor driver online. Solder the other two wires to the two pins on the second motor. Solder the other ends of these wires onto the driver pins labeled m3 and m4. The battery holder should have two attached wires, one positive (red) and one negative (black). Connect these as follows:  Connect the positive wire to the Vin pin on the Arduino Connect the negative wire to the Gnd (ground) pin on the Arduino

Wait until any threat of frost has passed before planting your cannas. Look for a spot with full sunlight. Look for a spot where the soil drains well. Keep the wind in mind when selecting your spot. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 to 15 inches (30.48 to 38.1 cm). Dig a 2 to 3 inch (5.08 to 7.62 cm) hole for each bulb. Cover the holes and the tubers with soil. Add a thin layer of mulch over the flowerbed.

Cannas are a warm weather plant that don’t do well in cold weather. Wait until spring to plant your cannas--when the soil becomes soft and warm from sunlight, its time to get planting. If you live in a colder area where the warm season is rather short, you could consider starting your cannas in an indoor pot. See Part Three for how to care for indoor cannas. As tropical plants, cannas require a lot of sun. A lot of sunlight will allow your cannas to bloom to their full extent--and that’s something you definitely want. Cannas are known for the bright, beautiful flowers and intricate and colorful leaf patterns. Give your plant the sun it needs and you will be sure to have an exquisite garden. While cannas will survive in almost any soil, it does need to be able to drain. The way to tell if you have found a good spot is to check on the spot after a rain shower (or hose shower). If the soil still has puddles five or six hours after a shower, you will have to find another spot. While cannas do like moist soil, they don’t like soggy roots. If you don’t have another spot to plant you cannas, you can help your spot to dry by adding organic material to the spot. You can raise the level two or three inches using compost, peat moss, or ground bark--all of which you can buy at your local garden or yard supply store. If you are going to plant one of the tall varieties of cannas, you will need to choose a spot where these tall beauties will be relatively protected from strong wind. In a strong wind, cannas stalks can snap or bend in a damaging way. You can do this with a tiller or garden fork. Mix in a layer of compost that is 2 to 4 inches (5.08 to 10.16 cm) deep. The compost will give the soil an extra boost of nutrients that your cannas will appreciate. Place a single tuber (or rhizome) in the hole with the eye (or growing points) facing up. Plant additional tubers approximately 1 foot (.30 m) apart for dwarf to medium varieties and at least 2 feet (.61 m) apart for tall varieties. Press the soil down and water...

De-clutter your mind. Break work into smaller chunks. Skip the pressure to begin. Make yourself work for five minutes straight. Try a reward system. Take advantage of your better days. Just get there. Work on saying "no.

When your mind is buzzing with all the different things you need to do in a day, it's harder to get things done. To help you focus, take the time to write or type out a physical list for the day. That way, you're not trying to keep them all in your head at once. Plus a list can help you see just how much you've done in a day, which can motivate you. When you're depressed, even small tasks can seem monumental; therefore, it's best to try to view tasks in smaller chunks, so that you can accomplish things piece by piece. Instead of thinking, "I need to send 500 emails today," think "I have one email to send in the next five minutes. I can do that."  Making tasks smaller makes it seem easier to do them. If it doesn't seem to be working, try even smaller chunks. You could say, "I just need to get through this one sentence. That's it." Sometimes, trying to figure out how to begin a task is the hardest part. Maybe you can't find the words you need to start a report, for instance. The key is to just start somewhere. You don't have to start at the "beginning." You just need to get started.  Once you have some work done, you'll find it easier to go back and work through the beginning. Also, you won't be paralyzed with indecision about how to "start." It can be tempting to give in to procrastination when you're feeling depressed. You have a tendency to get distracted, for instance, or you have a desire to get up and do something else; however, just promising yourself you'll work for a set amount of time can help get you started.  Cut out distractions. Don't go anywhere else on the internet than what you need for work. Don't go talk to a friend. Just sit down and pay attention only to your work. Remind yourself you can't do anything else. Even if you don't work, don't allow  yourself to do something more interesting. If you're in a more active job, try to cut distractions like talking to co-workers and just focus on the task at hand. Set a timer if you need to.

Read through the list of ingredients. Take 1-2 capsules every morning. Take Plexus Boost in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise plan.

Plexus Boost claims to work in part by suppressing your appetite. Ingredients including Caralluma Fimbriata, green tea, and yerba mate have all shown some results in helping slightly with weight management. However, Plexus Boost also contains high levels of chromium, which can have unpleasant side effects such as vertigo and headaches in such dosages. Look over the list of ingredients and research them on your own. Be especially wary of any ingredients to which you may be allergic. Plexus Worldwide recommends taking 1-2 capsules of Plexus Boost every day, ideally in the morning. They do not offer guidelines regarding how to determine if you should take 1 or 2 capsules.  Plexus Boost capsules are like most regular capsules and should be swallowed whole, using water to help. One bottle of Plexus Boost contains 60 capsules. This equals a 60 day supply if you take 1 capsule a day, or a 30 day supply if you take 2 capsules a day. Like most weight loss supplements, Plexus Boost works best when coupled with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Talk to your doctor or a certified dietitian about the nutritional plan that is right for you.  In general, you should aim for a diet that balances fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Aim to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, unprocessed foods, and healthy, unsaturated fats.  You should also try to get at least 30 minutes of moderately vigorous cardiovascular exercise at least 5 days a week.

Instead, sun yourself in the early morning or late afternoon for the perfect tan. For instance, plan to go out at 9:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. About 90% of the sun’s rays penetrate the clouds, so you should have no problem tanning. However, you’ll get more rays if you pick a spot with minimal cloud coverage. Look for the brightest area you can find. Additionally, stay away from shadows cast by trees, buildings, and fences. Check the sky to see if any sunlight is penetrating the clouds. Additionally, look for shadows on the ground. If you see a shadow, move to another spot. Tanning lotions help promote a bronzed look and may help you tan faster. It’ll also keep your skin moisturized. Look for a lotion that’s labeled for use on your skin tone. Then, massage the tanning lotion into your skin before you tan.  Lotion and oil work the same. However, you might prefer an oil if your skin tends to be dry because it's more moisturizing. Read and follow the directions on the label so you know you’re using your product correctly. Some tanning lotions have a low SPF, such as an SPF 8, that can help protect your skin as it tans. These are a great option because they’ll help you get the darker look you want with less skin damage. Using an indoor tanning lotion outdoors may increase your risk of skin cancer because these lotions are designed to enhance UV rays. Keep in mind that there are more UV rays outdoors than in a tanning bed even on a cloudy day. Additionally, don't use baby oil because it can tan your skin too quickly and cause damage. You can start on your stomach or your back, depending on your preference. Elongate your body so that you’re less likely to have uneven patches. Additionally, spread out your arms and legs so they get maximum sun exposure. If you’re bent at an angle or your arms are flat against your body, you’ll...

Cut off the peeling faux leather with a razor blade. Apply leather soft filler to the peeled area with a putty knife. Push the soft filler off of the furniture seams and smooth the surface. Let the soft filler cure for 20 minutes. Apply a second layer of soft filler to the patch you’re repairing. Add texture to the repair job by pressing plastic wrap against it. Apply leather paint to the repaired patch with a damp sponge.

Before repairing the faux leather, you’ll first need to remove all of the flaking pieces. Use your fingers and a razor blade to peel, scrape, and cut away the peeling sections of faux leather from your chair or sofa. Don’t slice off more faux leather than necessary, though. Only remove what’s already loose and flaking.  You can purchase 5-packs of razor blades at most hardware stores. Exercise caution when using a razor blade and never cut towards yourself. Scoop out a 1 inch (2.5 cm) dollop of soft filler with a putty knife. Still using the knife, smear the filler across the peeled section of the leather furniture. Smooth out the filler so that it’s a uniform thickness across the peeled section. Try not to get filler on the unpeeled sections of the faux leather. Soft filler will bond with the base fabric of the faux leather and create a new vinyl-like surface. You can purchase it at any leather store and at many craft supply stores. If you happened to apply any filler to the furniture’s seams, you can use a stiff piece of paper to rub if off. Use the edge of an index or business card to push filler out of the seam. Then, run the long edge of the card over the top of the fabric you’re repairing to smooth out the layer of filler. Clearing the seams and feathering the edges of the soft filler will give the repair job a more professional look. The filler will cure relatively quickly. It’s important that you don’t touch the filler while it’s curing. If you have small children or pets in your home, keep them out of the room with the curing filler. If you’re repairing a small chair, you could move the chair outdoors and let it sit in the sun if the weather is pleasant. This will speed up the curing process. Once the first layer has dried, use your putty knife to apply a second thick layer of filler to the leather. As before, avoid spreading the filler onto undamaged parts of the faux leather.

Prepare the soil. Determine the lighting requirements for your annuals. Plant the seeds. Water as directed on the seed packet. Fertilize the seedlings with an organic, granular slow-release fertilizer. Thin the seedlings.

Annuals typically thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.3 and 6.7. Add 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of peat moss, compost or manure to the garden soil to build up organic matter and create a healthy environment for the seeds to grow. Consider adding a seed-starting mix to the soil. Seed-starting mixes can be found at most garden centers. These nutrient-rich mixes can encourage seed growth. Consult the seed packet to determine how much light the annual plant will need. Many annuals need full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of sunlight each day. Others, such as begonias or impatiens, thrive in the shade. Choose a location best suited for the sunlight requirements of your annual seeds. Consult the seed packet to determine the recommended depth and spacing for planting your annual seeds. In general, plant an annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter.  Plant small seeds near the top of the soil. To plant very small seeds, pour the seeds into the palm of your hand, take a pinch of the seeds with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, and sprinkle the seeds over the soil. Using your hand, tap the seeds lightly into the soil so they are lightly covered with soil. Plant larger seeds further into the soil. Use a screwdriver or pencil to poke a hole into the soil at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Place the seed into the hole and fill the hole with soil. Tap the soil lightly with your hand. Keep the water around the seed moist, but don't over-water or create puddles of standing water around the seeds. Fertilize the seeds immediately after planting. In most cases, annuals planted in the ground will not need additional fertilizer after the initial application. As seedlings begin to emerge, thin the plants so they are not growing right on top of each other. Consult the seed packet to determine the ideal spacing between mature plants.

These will take care of your phone by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the phone's appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop the phone. It should be somewhere that is out of the way and where the phone is not likely to be knocked onto the floor or trodden on. For example, good places include keeping it on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. It's a good idea to choose one spot where it always goes (near a recharger) so that you can find it with ease, any time.  Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging. Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your brand of phone can harm the phone or lessen its lifespan. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water (such as a pond, the beach, or toilets). If you do get your phone wet, see How to save a wet cell phone. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life. Even in relatively everyday activities such as watching a movie in a movie theater, or attending church, it is polite to keep your ringer on vibrate or turned off.

Rice water is a great way to add shine to your hair. It is also a great way to add shine to your hair.

Purchase some rice. Combine the rice with 2-3 cups of water in a bowl. Soak the rice in the water for about 15-30 minutes. Stir the rice water a couple of times while it soaks. Strain out the rice and set the water aside. Transfer the rice water into a decorative or practical container.

While any type of rice will work, the most frequently used are white rice or long-grain brown rice. Whatever you have in the house is fine! Measure out ½ cup of rice and rinse it to remove any dust or impurities. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water. Inositol is a carbohydrate that gives rice water its milky appearance. When used on your hair, some research suggests that inositol helps protect your locks and add shine. Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Once the water has a cloudy or milky look to it, it should be good to go. Double check to make sure that the water does not have any lingering rice in it. Another way to do this is to boil the rice/water mixture. Just follow the same steps as soaking, but use slightly more water and strain out the rice once the water starts to boil. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using. It is now ready to use!
