These are one of the most widely used and effective forms of teeth whitening with their active ingredients being polishers, abrasives and gentle chemical bleaching agents. Whitening toothpastes aren’t instant, and it takes time and patience when brushing with them. Be consistent by brushing twice a day, and you will see the benefits within 2 to 6 weeks. Some whitening toothpastes work by employing an ingredient called chemical blue covarine that sticks to the surface of the teeth and creates an optical illusion of whiteness. These flexible little strips are made out of polyethylene, which is an elastic type of plastic. They contain peroxide or bleach to whiten your teeth. Think about when you wash your white shirts in the laundry, and you use bleach to get all the stains out. Whitening strips work on your teeth in the same way to remove tea stains from your pearly whites.  Whitening strips are a more affordable option than getting your teeth whitened at the dentist, because insurance usually doesn’t cover whitening.  Follow the instructions that come with whitening strips. One thing to remember is that just because they whiten your teeth doesn’t mean they can replace good old fashioned brushing. Always brush your teeth before using whitening strips. If you don’t, plaque will get trapped under the strips and cause more problems than just discoloration. Not to mention it could render whitening strips useless. Thanks to their speed and power, they can pick up more plaque and scrub more stains with less effort than a manual toothbrush. An electric toothbrush will get your teeth whiter in a shorter amount of time than your average one. With a manual toothbrush, you’re able to do 300 strokes per minute. Some electric or battery powered toothbrushes can get anywhere from 3,000 times a minute to 4,000, so your teeth whiten faster. Dentists will do professional whitening, but because it’s cosmetic, it is usually expensive and not covered by insurance. If you choose this route for stain removal, the dentist will make...

These are specially formulated to create straight or sleek hair. You don't need to buy expensive hair products, anything you can find at your local drug store or beauty supply store will work. You can also look for products that are labeled for creating "sleek" or "straight" styles. Use your towel to remove water from your hair by gently squeezing your hair in sections rather than harshly ruffling it dry. Patting your hair dry helps prevent excess frizz from occurring after showering. You should apply it when your hair is wet because it allows you to evenly spread the serum around your hair without creating clumps. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb after applying.  Products with Obliphica Berry, argan nut oil, Moroccan oil, or coconut oil are thought to help keep hair straight throughout the day.   Products with silicone will also help to keep your hair straight. You want your hair to be as dry as possible when straightening. Not only will this allow your flat iron to work better, it will also prevent your hair from being shocked by the heat and breaking off.  Point the hair dryer downward with the flow of your hair while blow-drying. This downward motion away from your roots encourages your hair to dry straight. It also smooths down your hair and reduces the risk of frizz. Set your hair dryer on the lowest heat setting. If you have particularly frizzy hair, drying your hair on a lower heat setting for a longer period of time will prevent your hair from puffing up as you dry it.

Use smoothing or moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. Pat your hair dry after getting out of the shower. Use a thermal protection serum or heat treatment while your hair is wet. Blow-dry your hair.


These are sturdy objects made from plastic, metal, concrete or wood, intended to prevent the sand and paving stones from drifting out of the prepared area. Lay these out along the edge of the sand bed, pressing them down. If the soil is poor or the paving stones will receive heavy traffic, consider pouring concrete edges instead. Place the stones on the sand gently, with a narrow gap in between them. Do not press or tamp them into the sand, and take care not to walk over the sand during installation. A few basic patterns were described in the planning section above. If any paving stones need cutting, use a masonry saw or splitter. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from chips. If you cannot access these tools, a heavy hammer and masonry chisel can be used to create rough splits. Make several passes over the paving stones with a plate compactor to press them into the sand bed. Repeat until the stones are level and flat. Pour sand over the paving stones and sweep it into the cracks until a level, stable surface is created. For a more solid, weed-resistant filler, use polymeric sand instead, then water it gently with a hose to activate the binding. Sweep any excess sand and dirt off the area. Apply a paver sealer to the joints to extend the life of your pavers and increase their overall durability.

Install edge restraints. Lay out the paving stones. Cut and install edge pieces if necessary. Compact the paving stones. Fill in the gaps with sand. Clean and seal.


These are supplements designed to appeal to your guinea pig by resembling a treat. Be sure not to use supplements after their expiration date, since they are unlikely to have sufficient active Vitamin C by that point. Be sure not to give too much. Guinea pigs are much smaller than human children and only need about 20-25mg/day of Vitamin C. Although Vitamin C does not stay in the body, it’s not good for your guinea pig to ingest too much of the sugar or other additives that may be included in products designed for children.  You might add the supplement to a leafy green or other treats to encourage your guinea pig to take it. You can also administer liquids by a dropper or syringe, but try something else if your guinea pig resists this method.  Don’t use a multivitamin designed for adults. It is likely to contain other vitamins and minerals that your guinea pig doesn’t need and that may cause harm in large quantities. Supplements may alter the taste of the water and discourage your guinea pig from drinking enough, leading to dehydration as well as Vitamin C deficiency. Also, Vitamin C breaks down quickly when exposed to light and water. After eight hours, the available Vitamin C in a water bottle may be no more than 20% of what was originally added.

Feed specially designed Vitamin C tablets directly to your guinea pig. Offer Vitamin C tablets or liquids designed for children. Don’t rely on adding Vitamin C to drinking water.


These are surgically placed tubes in the ears of children with chronic otitis media. They are used to relieve the pressure, allow drainage, and allow reduced fluid build up in the middle ear to reduce the number of ear infections. Although the placement of the tubes is minor surgery, the procedure carries surgical risks that are related to the use of anesthesia, including harm to the vocal cords, trauma to the teeth or tongue, temporary mental confusion, heart attack, lung infection, and rarely, death. The risks of anesthesia are low in healthy children and adults, but higher in people who have other underlying medical conditions. Never put your child to bed with a bottle. Lying down and drinking from a bottle increases the risk that fluid will reflux up the Eustachian tube and create an environment for bacterial growth and a middle ear infection. The lower the baby’s head during feeding, the greater risk there is for formula to reflux into the eustachian tubes and increase the risk of infection. Cigarettes and other smoking tobacco products increase the inflammatory response in the Eustachian tubes and therefore the risk of a middle ear infection. Limit your child's contact with people who smoke. If you have the infection, do not smoke and avoid enclosed spaces with those who do. Having a viral upper respiratory infection increases the risk of developing otitis media due to fluid from the viral infection blocking the eustachian tube. By limiting exposure to other sick children, you reduce the risk that you or your child will experience a middle ear infection. Don't send your child to school or daycare if he has a fever. Ear infections are common after infection with the flu. Some of the most common bacteria that cause ear infections can be reduced by vaccination, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza.

Investigate myringotomy tubes or ear tubes. Feed your baby in an upright position. Reduce the exposure to tobacco smoke. Limit the exposure to others who are ill. Make sure your child is up to date on his or her vaccinations, including a yearly flu shot.


These are the areas of your body that produce a lot of body heat.  The heat will cause the fragrance to continue to smell good all day long. If you just put the cologne on your clothes, it may not be detectable for long.  The insides of your wrists are a good spot for cologne. Behind the ears is another spot that many men like to utilize. This is a great place to apply cologne since it scents your shirt and provides a nice burst of scent to whomever you might end up hugging. If you're relatively sure your date's head may be close to your neck at some point during the evening, be sure to dab some cologne on your neck for good measure. Cologne applied here mixes with your natural scent, creating a unique smell that is truly you. If you tend to get body odor, don't use cologne as a way to mask it. Less appealing smells don't mix well with cologne, so it's best not to layer it on in the wrong areas. You don't have to put cologne on every pulse point; in fact, if you do so your scent will probably be overwhelming for those around you. Choose a few spots, and keep it subtle.

Apply the cologne to your pulse points. Consider the chest. Don't forget the neck. Keep it clear of areas where you sweat excessively. Choose one or two spots.


These are the ball, the bat, the wickets, the stumps, and the bails. You may not have heard these words before, so take your time repeating them. When reading and understanding rules, the pieces of equipment need to be common knowledge to you. The ball is hard and covered in leather, and the bat is made up of wood and it is flat on one side and humped on the other. Stumps are wooden posts that are 32 inches high. Bails are the wood pieces that sit in grooves on the top of the stumps, and wickets are rectangular wooden structures made up of the stumps and Bails.  There 2 wickets each made from 3 stumps and 2 bails 1 set at each end of the main playing area known as a wicket.  There are 11 players in both the teams. 3 umpires are selected in the match where 2 umpires are at the ground and 1 is at out of the ground  Look at pictures of the equipment online. Watch professionals play cricket online or on sports channels on TV—you will see the equipment they are using. Recognize where the equipment is used on the field: the bats and balls are in the players’ hands, but the wickets and stumps are out on the field. This is the easiest way to get really familiar with the components of cricket. Go to a local sports store and ask if they have cricket equipment. Look at the balls, bats, stumps, and wickets. Try handling them.

These are the major causes of serious vaginal odor. Examples of such infections and diseases include yeast and bacterial infections (the most common causes), STIs, STDs, or viruses like herpes. Even much more serious problems like some kinds of cancer or internal ruptures can cause vaginal odor. You will need to monitor your body for other signs of illness and if you really feel that your vaginal odor is unnatural, see your doctor. One thing to look out for are unusual discharges from your vagina. Brown, green, or chunky white discharges are signs of infection and you should go see your doctor as soon as possible. Just remember that some discharge is normal and healthy but it should not smell. Any introduction of foreign bacteria can upset the delicate balance in your vagina and so sexual practices can have an effect. Certain practices in particular can set off a reaction, namely anal sex before vaginal sex, oral sex, and the use of objects or food as penetrative methods. If you wish to engage in these practices, use protection (like a condom) and change it in between activities. Foreign objects lodged in the vagina will cause your body's immune response to react and try to attack the object. This can cause bad odor as well. Tampons that have been forgotten or left in for too long, pieces of a broken condom, or objects used in sexual play are examples of such causes for odor. Improper hygiene can lead to a buildup of bacteria around your vagina and vulva. This will cause odor, though it may not necessarily cause an infection. If you want to reduce odor, keep yourself and your clothing clean. Loose clothing can prevent smell too. Surrounding your vagina with hot water will kill much of your body’s natural bacteria which preserves the delicate balance of your vagina.

Watch out for infections and diseases. Be aware that certain sexual practices cause vaginal odor. Check for foreign objects. Be careful to practice proper hygiene. Avoid hot baths and hot tubs.


These are the strands that you are going to braid. You may pick strands on one side of your head or at the back of your head. It may be easier to start with strands on one side. Pick thin strands if you are using narrow beads and thicker strands if the beads are wide in diameter.  You may braid the strands a bit so the bead sits in the middle of the braid. Alternatively, you can put the bead in your hair first and then braid the rest of your hair.

These are the things that are seen on every page on your site, such as the header, footer, and navigation menu. Create a very basic style so you can see how all of your pages will look with them in place. This will be very useful as you move into the layout process. Don't worry too much about the details, but do try to get it somewhat close to how the headers will eventually look. Start moving the clocks of your wireframe out of the single column and into their general locations on the page. For example, you might move the navigation block to the left side of the page, and a list of headline to the right. Keep experimenting with the layouts for a few pages before moving on. Let others test them to see if they feel organic. Use a program like Photoshop to create a mockup of a few pages of your site. Use the layout you've settled on as a guide. You can work much quicker in an image editing program and get everything just how you want it. This will allow you to use these images as references when it comes time to actually code. Include actual content in the mockup to ensure that everything looks good together. Start adding your content and elements to the page. Don't worry about style yet, just get everything in the correct location. This will help you tell if your style changes are going to work. This is essential for maintaining a cohesive style, especially for larger sites. If the site is for a business that already has visual branding, this should be incorporated into the site design. Things to potentially consider in a style guide:  Navigation Headers (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) Paragraphs Italics Bolding Links (active, inactive, hovering) Image use Icons Buttons Lists Once you've decided on a style and design for the site, it's time to start implementing it. CSS is one of the easiest ways to implement style across a page or the entire site. See this guide for more details on using CSS.

These are the two basic types of handguns. The handguns you would see in a cowboy movie are revolvers. The cartridges in a revolver are loaded into a cylinder in the middle of the frame of the gun. A capacity of six is most common but some hold five and are designed to fit smaller hands. A semi-automatic pistol has a sliding mechanism at the top of the handgun and a magazine of pre-loaded ammunition in the handle. Operation of each type of handgun differ slightly so it's important to clearly define terms before handling a gun.  Revolvers have a revolving cylinder for holding the ammunition. The ammunition is loaded into the cylinder, then the cylinder swings into the revolver and it is ready to fire. After a bullet is fired, the cylinder rotates and lines up the next cartridge in line with the firing pin. Most revolvers can be fired in a double action mode which is pulling the trigger which rotates the hammer until it falls and fires the cartridge. Additionally, the hammer can be pulled back into position before the trigger is pulled, this results in a much lighter trigger pull and improves accuracy. In order to retrieve the spent cartridges, the cylinder is rotated outwards allowing the empty ammunitions to be removed.  A semi-automatic pistol advances each cartridge into the chamber from the magazine. It then ejects the empty cartridge after it has been fired. The slide on the top of the gun is used to advance the first shell into the chamber, and can be locked in the back position with a button or pin on the side. The removable magazine is removed and loaded separately. and ammunition for your needs. Handguns come in many varieties with a seemingly endless array of ammunition options. Also, consider your body, hand size and purpose of your handgun. You probably don't need a .357 Magnum to try out target shooting at the gun range. Avoid buying an overly large high-caliber gun if you're interested in getting started, and instead get a small-caliber reliable gun, like a .22. Talk to dealers and others...

These are the types of words that make up the language, and they are nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and sometimes articles. To put sentences together properly, you must understand what the parts of speech are and how they function in sentences.  Nouns are the elements that usually perform the action in a sentence, such as a person, place, thing, idea, emotion, animal, or event. Nouns include Sally, Paris, sand , philosophy , happiness, dog, and birthday. Adjectives modify nouns and describe aspects or characteristics of nouns. Adjectives include red, funny, lazy, large, and short. Pronouns take the place of nouns. There are personal subject pronouns (such as I, she, and they), personal object pronouns (such as us, you, it, and them), personal possessive pronouns (such as mine, yours, his, hers, and theirs), and relative pronouns (such as who, which, that, and whose). Verbs indicate actions or states of being and tell what the noun is doing. Verbs include run, sing, type, be, and walk. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, and other adverbs. They are words like quickly, well, and slowly. These words often end in –ly. Prepositions indicate relationships in time, space, or direction. Prepositions include to, in, on, over, of, and across. Conjunctions join nouns, clauses, phrases, and sentences. Coordinating conjunctions link independent clauses, and they are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so (remember FANBOYS). Subordinating conjunctions link dependent clauses, and they include because, if, since, while, and although. Interjections are words that indicate emotions. These include oh, hey, ouch, and wow. They are often followed by exclamation points. Articles are used to modify and define nouns. The is a definite article, and a and an are the indefinite articles. In terms of grammatical person, English has three points of view, and each of those can be either singular or plural. The points of view are: singular or plural...

These are two of the biggest rules of flirting. Flirt with your eyes and don't forget to smile. We communicate so much with our eyes and our lips, and they're some of our most flattering features. Use them to your advantage!  Look into your crushes eyes a little more than is comfortable. It's hard to do, but it sends the signal that your crush is irresistible — something everyone wants to feel like. Make eye contact when you talk with your crush. Learn to hold your crush's eyes with yours when you talk. If you do this the right way, it won't hardly matter what you say, because your crush will be mesmerized by your gaze. Smile from a distance and up close. Smiling from a distance is inviting: it says, "Come closer, I won't bite." When your crush is up close, smiling says, "Stay a little longer, you make me happy." A great smile can be the difference between a successful flirt and one that fails. Conversation starters are just ways to get the conversation going. They're usually very basic, and you don't have to put too much thought into them:  "That dress looks great on you. Did you make it yourself?" "Did you hear what [mutual friend] did over the weekend? I heard he set a Guinness World Record...." "You seem like a math whiz. Can you help me do this algebraic equation?" Introduce yourself if you haven't already. You can do this after your conversation starter (it's pretty casual, and very cool), or you can use the introduction as the conversation starter: "Hi, I'm Georgia, I don't think we've met before." Remember to smile and hold their eyes as you introduce yourself! Always try to figure out their interest level: if they seem bored or not very talkative, you may want to wind down the conversation and try another time. Keep the following in mind as you continue to talk to your crush:  Find common ground. Relate to the other person with your own personal experiences, and share similarities. If you both love surfing, talk about Hawaiian waves or surf competitions you've been to. Exploring common ground will...

These are typically the least dirty of all the dishes, so its a good idea to start your child off by cleaning these. First, instruct your child to submerge the dirty glass, plate or bowl into the soapy water or under the running water. Next, have your child remove the object from the soapy water and scrub it clean with the sponge, adding more soap if necessary. Finally, have your child rinse the object with clean water, stacking cleaned, rinsed objects beside the sink. With younger children, it is always a good idea to demonstrate how to do the above steps before asking them to do it for themselves. These are often more dirty, with stains and leftovers that are much more difficult to scrub off. Again, begin by helping your child submerge the cooking dishes into soapy water. Next, instruct your child to remove the object from the soapy water and scrub it clean with the sponge, adding more soap if necessary. Have your child rinse the object with clean water, stacking cleaned, rinsed objects beside the sink.  Remind your child that the cooking dishes can be very dirty, so extra scrubbing may be necessary. You can use plastic scrubbers or steal wool pads if necessary. Once all dishware and cooking dishes have been washed and rinsed, its time to instruct your child how to dry. Make sure the drying towels are clean, and if they become too damp while drying, use a second towel. When everything has been dried, show your child where clean plates, glasses, pots and pans are placed.

These are units that describe the intensity of light on a surface, or illuminance. Photometers that measure this are usually what people are looking for when they want to set up a photo shoot, or test whether a room is too bright or too dim.  Some light meters are specialized for different types of lighting. For instance, one may produce more accurate results when used to measure sodium lighting. You can even purchase a "light meter" in some mobile device's app stores. Check the reviews first, as some of these apps are inaccurate. Lux is the modern accepted standard, but some devices still measure in foot-candles. Use this online calculator to convert between them. Here are a few examples of typical illuminance measurements, to help you determine whether your lighting needs to change:  Most office work is comfortably done at 250 – 500 lux (23–46 foot-candles). Supermarkets or work areas that involve drawing or other detail work are typically illuminated to 750 – 1,000 lux (70–93 foot-candles). The upper end of this range is equivalent to an indoor area next to a window on a clear, sunny day. If a light bulb or lamp label or advertisement mentions "lumens," it is describing how much total energy is emitted as visible light, a concept called luminance. Here's what you need to know:  The "initial lumens" describes how much light will be given off once the light is stabilized. This takes about 100 hours of use for fluorescent and HID lights.  The "mean lumens" or "rated lumens" tells you the estimated average luminance over the life span of the device. The actual luminance will be brighter than this early on, and become dimmer than this near the end of the light source's recommended lifespan. To figure out how many lumens you need, use the steps above to determine how many foot candles of illuminance you want in a room, and multiply by the square footage of the room. Aim higher than the result for rooms with dark walls, and aim lower for rooms with other major light sources. Flashlights and other devices that...

These are:  Eyeshadow or eyeshadow palette (preferably one with all different blues) White eyeliner Mascara (volumizing) Foundation (to match your skin color and type) Nude coloured lip gloss Pink/dark colored blush. Use one that suits your skin type. Then moisturize your face––the moisturizing cream helps the makeup to stay on longer. Use either a powder or liquid one. Powder doesn't really work well with dry skin, whereas liquid foundation sometimes does. If you apply liquid foundation with a sponge, it gives you a smoother and more even finish. After you have applied the foundation, apply a little setting powder. To do this you have to lightly pull down the lower eyelid. Then, with your spare hand, grab the eyeliner and draw along the waterline. This will create the appearance of larger eyes. Repeat for the second eye. This is optional but nice. However, a normal one works too. Cover it with a shimmery light blue eyeshadow and apply it from the inner part of your lid to the middle of your lid. Now blend. Apply this shadow from the middle of your lid to the outer corner. Carry on applying it, working your way up to about the crease in your lid, but stopping about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) from your brow. Blend the light blue eyeshadow with the electric blue one where it stops at the center of the lid. Repeat for the other eye. You could also apply some liquid liner to the upper lid and maybe create a flick at the outer corner of the lid to give it some oomph. When the first layer has dried, apply a second one and use an eyelash curler (optional). To do this, get a shimmery nude/white shadow and, using a clean finger, apply it under the outer part of your brow. Blend while doing this. Using a blusher brush, apply a pinkish to dark blush.  If you have light skin, don't use a dark colored blush. If you have dark skin, use a blush that is a tad bit lighter then your skin color. This is because if you use a bright peachy color, it may not look very natural. However, sometimes it does, so experiment. Let it soak in a...

These areas may also appear to have water damage. This is due to the hollowing out of your wooden structures, which is caused by the termites’ excavations. A mold or mildew-like odor may accompany a termite infestation. This is because both mold and termites thrive in moist environments. Tiny holes in wooden structures like walls and furniture are also signs of a termite infestation. Examine the holes. If you can identify pieces of soil around the edges of these holes, then you are dealing with an infestation. Buckling paint and/or cracked wood are also signs of a termite infestation. If you hear a dull thud, then your wooden structures have been hollowed out. Pick the surface of the wood with a pocketknife. See if you can find tunnels or pieces of dried soil or mud inside the damaged wood. These are signs of a termite infestation. Use a flashlight to examine wood construction in your basement, focusing on the areas where concrete connects with wood. Also examine the wood under your porch, wooden window frames and sills, joists, and supporting piers and posts. Make sure to examine both the interior and exterior parts of your foundation. If you have determined that your home is infested with termites, then you need to contact a professional. A professional will examine your house, confirm that you have an infestation, and advise you on what steps to take next.  Most do-it-yourself kits are not very effective at eliminating termite infestations. Make sure you contact a licensed pest management professional. You can find out if they're licensed by contacting your local department of agriculture. If you decide to hire a professional, try to save some of the termites so the professional is able to easily identify them.

These badges will ensure that your new Pokémon not only obeys you, but will also ensure that your way is not barred by enemies who are too difficult, or plot points that you cannot get around. This is an excellent place to disembark for the Pokémon Mansion, where you will be able to find and catch a Pikachu. The mansion is located in the northern half of Route 212, or directly south of Hearthome City. When you see a man and a woman standing close to each other, take a right turn and follow the path north to the Pokémon Mansion. The Trophy Garden is an area located behind the Pokémon Mansion where you can find many rare Pokemon. Find your way to the back of the building, and you should see a rectangular patch of raised ground accessible by a stairway. Like many other Pokémon, Pikachu can be found through a random encounter. Make sure you have enough Pokeballs and have chosen a good Pokémon from your party to counter its electric attacks. Some types that are strong against electric attacks, and good to consider using in battle against Pikachu, are:  Ground Grass Electric Dragon You will have to weaken the Pikachu in battle so that when you throw a Pokeball to capture the Pikachu it doesn't break free.

These bags come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, most notably the flat storage bag, the cube bag with a flat bottom, and the storage tote. Which bag you choose will likely depend on the items being stored. For instance, flat bags are excellent for clothing, whereas cubes and totes are best for larger items, such as blankets. In order to open the bag, grab each side of the zipper. Place one hand on the one side of the zipper, and the other hand on the opposite side. Then, pull the sides apart. Try not to pull so hard that the zipper comes off. To pack the bag, you should place it on a bed, sofa, floor, or table. The bag should be kept upright with the fill line facing upwards. Space saver vacuum bags can store a variety of soft items, but are most commonly used for clothing and linens.  Don't store food, leather, or fur items in these bags. Don’t store items with sharp corners or ridges because these may puncture the bag.  Make sure that all items are dry before packing them into space saver bags. Be sure not to overfill the bag. Only place items to the fill line. To maximize the amount of available space, you can fold your items.

These belong to the highest grade of peerage. Address them as "Duke" or "Duchess". After the initial greeting, you may address them the same way or as "Your Grace".  As with any title, you do not need to include the location ("Duke of Mayfair") unless it is necessary to avoid confusion. If you are making a formal introduction, say "His/Her Grace the Duke/Duchess" followed by the rest of the title. In conversation and verbal introductions, avoid reference to all other titles besides Duke or Duchess. Use "Lady" and "Lord" instead, followed by the last name. The following titles are only used in formal or legal correspondence:  Marchioness and Marquis Countess and Earl Viscountess and Viscount Baroness and Baron This can get slightly complicated, so look up the exact scenario below:  Address the son of a duke or marquess as "Lord" followed by the first name. Address to the daughter of a duke, marquess, or earl as "Lady" followed by the first name. If you will be meeting a peer's heir apparent (generally the eldest son), look up his title. He will often use a secondary title of his father's, which is always of a lower rank. In all other cases, the child has no special title. ("The Hon." is used only in writing.) Use the following guide when talking to someone who holds these non-noble distinctions:  Baronet or Knight: "Sir" followed by the first name Baronetess and Dame: "Dame" followed by the first name Wife of a baronet or knight: "Lady" followed by the first name Husband of a baronetess or dame: no special title

These benefit the most from retaining walls. Signs of soil erosion include exposed roots, patches of dead land, landscape changes (more bugs or worms, more rocks, soil that is suddenly denser and harder), and clumps of grass floating in nearby water. Just avoid locations where water tends to ooze up or stand—these are not good choices as the water will rot your wall and ruin it rather quickly. Select a location where the excavated soil will be roughly equal to the backfill material needed behind the wall. Start by removing any garbage and rocks. Afterward, remove any plants by digging in a circle around the roots, taking care to cut through as many as possible. Once you've cut them, jam the shovel underneath the plant's roots and lever it up and out of the ground. After the area is clear, rake it smooth.  Continue raking the soil until it's level. Destroy as many roots as you can to prevent them from regrowing. Determine how many 4 by 4 inch (10 cm × 10 cm) posts—spaced 3 feet (0.91 m) apart—you need for your retaining wall and purchase them from a local home hardware store. Afterward, purchase 2 by 6 inch (5.1 cm × 15.2 cm) boards to extend between your posts. Either have the staff cut your wood to size or purchase larger pieces to cut them to size on your own.  Give yourself an additional 18 inches (46 cm) on top of your post height to go in the ground. If your retaining wall is going to be 40 feet (12 m) long, you need 14 posts—40 (length of the wall) divided by 3 (space between each post)—for your wall. If it's going to be 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, make sure your posts are 5 feet (1.5 m) tall with an additional 18 inches (46 cm) on top. In the previous example, if your wall is 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, you need to stack 10 pieces of 2 by 6 inch (5.1 cm × 15.2 cm) boards vertically—5 feet (1.5 m) divided by 6 inches (15 cm)—to create the height of the wall. Ask the staff to cut you 10 pieces 3 feet (0.91 m) long for every 2 posts. If you didn’t get your wood pieces cut at the home hardware store, cut your posts to...

Find a location with a steep slope affected by erosion. Clear and rake the area where you want to build your wall. Purchase your wood pieces from a home hardware store. Cut your wood posts to length if they aren't already.


These bouquets have long stems topped with a long strip of flowers. The bride cradles the stems, resting the bouquet against one arm. These are simple to make, but may tire you out in a long ceremony. Besides the decorative appearance, a bouquet holder helps by hydrating your flowers. Soak the "wick" of the bouquet holder before you place your flowers inside, and the stems will drink throughout your wedding.  The term "nosegay" refers to a small, round bouquet inside a bouquet holder or a decorative "tussy mussy." It can also refer to a small, looser bouquet that includes greenery or herbs. . This is probably the most difficult bouquet to make, as it can easily become lopsided or overwhelm the rest of the decor. Start with a special bouquet holder with a slanted opening. Arrange the flowers so they spill out of the holder. Longer sprays trail out the front, and larger blossoms fill the mouth of the holder.

These bras have a band that wraps around your stomach and lower back, providing your chest with an ample amount of support while remaining hidden beneath your dress. If you have a larger bust, this is the choice you should consider first. Some bras can be converted into low-back bras. This is a great option if you want to invest in an undergarment you can wear every day. If your bust is smaller, you might be able to get away without wearing any support. However, if you choose to go braless, you can risk exposing yourself through thin or light-colored fabric. Avoid this by sticking specialized gel petals over your nipples. If you're looking for a simple, inexpensive coverage option, putting band-aids on your nipples can work just as well as wearing gel petals. It provides a little more coverage and support than gel petals, but offers a similar guarantee that no straps or clasps will peek through the back of your gown. It offers less support than a low-back bra, and for this reason, it may offer inadequate support to larger-busted women. These bras are similar to strapless bras, but instead of a visible band and clasp, the back of the bra is made up of clear plastic or sheer fabric. If you enjoy wearing strapless bras, but the one you usually wear will show through your backless dress, this is an excellent alternative. It’s also a more supportive option for women with medium to large busts. Some backless dresses go around the neck and only expose a small portion of your back. For these dresses, you may be able to hide a halter style bra beneath your dress. This is another supportive option for women with larger busts. Be sure to try this type of bra on with your dress to ensure that your dress covers up the clasp. It's a good rule of thumb to try any type of bra on with your dress in advance of the night you plan to wear it – if the bra fits poorly or is too visible beneath the dress, you'll want time to find an alternative.

Try a low-back bra if you need more support. Cover up with stick-on silicone gel petals if you need less support. Try an adhesive bra if you have a small- to moderately-sized bust. Consider a bra with a transparent back for subtlety and support. Choose a halter bra for dresses with higher backs and halter necks.


These cables have a hexagonal plastic mouth with a small jack in the middle. You can typically find them in tech departments of retail stores, or on Amazon. The PS4 Slim doesn't have an optical audio output port, so you won't be able to use this method if you have a PS4 Slim. The port resembles the end of the optical audio cable. You should be able to find this port on the back of the main speaker unit. If your speaker doesn't have an optical port, you can buy an optical adapter. For example, you would use an optical-to-RCA adapter to connect an optical cable to traditional red-and-white (analog stereo) speaker ports. This port is on the far-left side of the back of the PS4 while facing it. You should be able to hear the PS4 menu music through your speakers after a moment. If you don't hear anything, adjust your speakers' volume.

These cables have an HDMI plug on one end and a smaller HDMI plug on the other end, as opposed to traditional HDMI cables.  The 2017 line of Kindle Fire HD's does not support HDMI output. If your TV doesn't support HDMI input, you'll also need to buy an HDMI-to-analog converter box and a set of RCA male-to-male cables. The large end of the cable should go into the TV, and the small end connects to your Kindle Fire HD's micro-HDMI port.  The micro-HDMI port is next to the charging port on the bottom of the Kindle Fire HD. If you're using an HDMI-to-analog converter: plug the Kindle Fire HD into the converter using the HDMI cable, then plug the converter into the TV with the RCA cables. You should see your Kindle Fire HD's screen reflected on your TV's screen, though you may need to rotate your Kindle Fire HD in order for the display to appear right-side-up on your TV. If necessary, you'll also need to change your TV's input to match the slot to which the Kindle Fire HD is attached (e.g., Video 3).

These calculations make it clear that time is literally money. The value of the money you have now is higher than the same amount of money in the future. This is why you should know how to calculate the time value of money. It allows you to determine which investments are better, based upon not just how much money they return to you, but when they return it. Present value can be used to determine whether a present payment of a certain value will end up being worth more or less than a future payment of a different value. For example, imagine that you have won the lottery and are offered either $1 million now or $2.5 million in ten years. Your money manager advises you that you can safely earn ten percent interest per year if you invest the money. Which payment should you take?  The present value of the $1 million is, obviously, $1 million. This is only two-fifths of the monetary value of the later payment, though. However, the $2.5 million payment is being made in ten years, during which time your $1 million could be earning ten percent interest (assuming you didn't spend it). If you apply the present value equation, you find that the present value of the $2.5 million is only about $964,000. So, you would want to take the $1 million now and invest it. It will be worth almost $2.6 million in ten years. Present value calculations can also be used to analyze the profitability of business projects by using the concept "net present value." Net present value refers to the present value of projected sales revenues or interest earnings from a project or investment minus the present value of money invested in the investment or project. In this way, it is used to see whether or not the project will be profitable. Alternately, it can be used to determine susceptibility to interest rate fluctuations.

These can be bought from the Magic Man.  Have your Sims read the spellbook and cookbook to find out what you need for specific magic. The spell requires two dragon scales and one toadstool. You must have an adult Sim gather these items. A child can't get them. This will make a charm. Simply cast the spell and the child should age up. Be aware that the child will lose all skills that they may have had.

These can be found in drugstores, card shops, and gift shops. You can also use a blank card to write a message of sympathy to the bereaved — the important thing is what you write inside. If you knew the deceased even a little, you can write a small note of a happy time you enjoyed with them. Otherwise, stick to offering words of sympathy and support for the bereaved. Go for something simple, but not impersonal: “Please accept my condolences on your loss. I only met Albert once and briefly, but I know how much he meant to Chad (my co-worker and friend) and the rest of your family. Please know that you will be in my thoughts [and/or prayers]. Sincerely, Jan White.” Read the obituary in the paper or online, or ask a family member you know well. Depending on the family’s wishes, you may have the option of sending flowers or making a donation to a designated charity, disease research foundation, or hospice. While not required, it is a nice gesture and will be greatly appreciated by the bereaved. It’s also a nice gesture to ask the bereaved if you can bring food to the wake (or in the days before or after), to give them one less thing to worry about. Or, offer the gift of your time by offering to help with setup, cleanup, or other useful tasks. Depending on the type of wake it is, the casket holding the deceased person may be present. If so, you’ll usually start your visit by entering the line to stop at the casket. Be subdued but not somber — you can chat with the people near you, since that's a key part of what wakes are for. Simple small talk is fine: “Hi, I’m Jan, and I work with Albert’s grandson, Chad. I didn’t know Albert well, but I know from Chad what a caring and fun-loving person he was.” If you wish, you can kneel down to pray at the casket for a moment. It’s also perfectly acceptable just to stop to view the body for a moment, then move on to greet the bereaved.  Even if you never met the person before, show respect for the life they lived and the loss felt by those who loved them. As you approach the...

These can be promotional t-shirts, hats, stickers, and flags with the town slogan and branding. Go local and hire a local illustrator or designer to create the promotional materials. Sell these promotional materials at local gift shops located close to popular attractions. One of the best ways to promote the town is to create radio and television ads, focusing on the slogan for the town and the points discussed in the marketing plan. Get the attention of tourists by offering them a free incentive to explore the town. Create a scavenger hunt around the town and offer a prize to the winners. Offer a complimentary stay at a popular attraction to visitors who enter a draw or a survey about the town.

These can be used more often than deep conditioners. They aren’t meant to penetrate your hair, but to provide a light mask that keeps moisture in and protects your hair. Comb about a tablespoon of the mask into your hair after wetting it at the beginning of your shower, then shampoo it out after about then minutes. You can buy a hair mask from the store or make your own using one of the following:  Honey Egg whites Milk or yogurt Boar bristle brushes are designed to pull the sebum produced by your scalp from the roots of your hair to the tips, so that the entire length of your hair will receive the benefits. They don’t cause breakage or damage like plastic brushes. Boar bristle brushes are difficult to get through very curly hair, but they work well for people with wavy or straight hair. Finishing oil is similar to leave-in conditioner, but it provides a little extra protection for hair that tends to get really dry. Hair oils and serums are available for purchase at salons and beauty supply stores. Look for products that contain the following:  Argan oil Moroccan oil Jojoba oil Rosehip oil

These can help your shoes get a little less tight. If you don't want to buy a stretcher (though they can be cheap online), taking the shoe by the heel and the tip and flexing it back and forth works just fine. Make sure you wear your shoes after using the flex method or your shoes will lose their shape! Peel a large potato and leech some of the moisture off with a paper towel. Place the potato inside the cavity of the shoe and leave overnight. Remove in the morning. Make sure the potato is slightly bigger than the opening of the shoe, but not so big that it warps the toe box out of shape. You may need to carefully remove a portion of the potato so that it follows the shape of the shoe while still giving the material a little stretch. Spray the shoes with some stretching solution, following instructions on the packaging. Most of the time, instructions will recommend that you manually stretch the shoe back and forth in between sprays. Americans spend nearly $2 million on shoe stretching per year. A cobbler will spray the shoe with a stretching solution and then stretch the shoe over a machine for a couple hours while it dries. This shouldn't cost more than $20. Some shoe-stretching techniques plain don't work or are bad for your shoes, especially nice leather ones. Avoid the following breaking-in techniques:  Applying rubbing alcohol on your shoes. Alcohol can leave unsightly marks on nice leather shoes, as well as rob the leather of its natural oils.  Hitting the shoes with a hammer or another hard object. Hammering the backs of shoes could work, but at what cost? Is it worth it to have broken-in shoes that are actually broken? Having someone with bigger feet break your shoes in. Having someone with bigger feet break your shoes in is immoral and ineffective. Not only are you placing the burden of pain on another person (poor, poor person!), you're also letting the shoes conform to his or her feet, not your own! Avoid.

If possible, buy a shoe stretcher. Use a potato. Purchase some stretching spray. Get a cobbler to machine-stretch shoes for you. Avoid these gimmicks.


These can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Always use pain relievers as directed. If your pain persists, you should see your dentist. If you are taking pain relief tablets, swallow them rather than placing them directly on your tooth or gum. This is especially the case if you are taking aspirin, as it can damage your gums. Cloves and clove oil are traditional pain relievers for tooth problems, and medical professionals recognize their benefits as well. You can apply clove products directly to the tooth area, and you will sense a numbing and pan relieving effect.  Look for clove oil where spices are sold, or in a pharmacy. Follow the directions provided with the oil, or ask your dentist how much oil you should apply to your tooth (normally you will not have to use very much). You can also use dried cloves (available where spices are sold). Gently bite or suck on a clove, and you will feel a numbing effect. Be careful not to chew the clove or bite it hard, as it may have sharp edges that can irritate your tooth or gum. Swallowing it may also irritate your throat or produce a cough. Your ice pack should be soft and flexible so that it fits against your face and provide you some relief. If you don’t have one already, it’s easy to make one.  Mix 3 cups (.7 liters) of water and 1 cup (.24 liters) of rubbing alcohol and pour it into a quart-sized (or liter-sized) plastic freezer bag. Seal it well and place it inside another quart-sized freezer bag. Put in the freezer until frozen. When it is ready, it will be cold but flexible—perfect for giving you some relief from your wisdom tooth.  Let it sit on your cheek for 15 to 20 minutes at a time.  Never apply an ice pack directly to your skin. Wrap it in a thin towel or t-shirt to prevent damage to your skin. It is not recommended that you use a heat pack. Dentists recommend a low-sugar diet to help prevent tooth decay and pain. In addition, there are numerous traditional foods and drinks that are thought to help alleviate symptoms of pain and inflammation caused...

These charts show the exact location of the points described below and unless you are very familiar with acupuncture points, you’ll need the charts to locate the correct pressure points in your body. Check the following website for free acupuncture charts:  Chiro.org  Qi-journal.com Acupressure points are manipulated in two different ways: by either pressing (reinforcing) or reducing them.  Pressing technique: Use your fingers or something blunt (such as a pencil eraser at the end of a pencil) to press the particular point between 30 seconds to two minutes. Shorter pressures can be used and even a few seconds can provide relief. Reducing technique: Place your finger over a point and turn a finger in counter-clockwise direction for one to two minutes. Use enough pressure to feel the pressure but not too much (you should not feel pain). For each acupuncture point mentioned below, use one or both of the techniques mentioned above from 30 seconds to two minutes per point (unless directed otherwise). These are located on the bottom of the foot. Consult the acupuncture charts to find these points in your body and manipulate one or several of the following points:  Fuliu KI-7 (on the front, inner side of the achilles tendon) and Jiaoxin KI-8 (the front, inner side of the rounded border of the shinbone, above the ankle) points. Apply pressure to these two points at the same time. Dazhong KI-4 (behind and under the medial malleolus, or the bony knob on the inner side of your ankle) and Shuiquan KI-5 (on the inner side of the heel, in a depression below but in front of KI-4) points. Yongquan KI-1 (on the sole of the foot) together with the Liver Meridian point Taichong LV-3 (on back of the foot). Applying acupressure to these two points helps treat tendons and ligaments.

These clouds usually have a height between 6,500 feet and 19,500 feet (1,981 meters and 5,943 meters). They are prefaced with the prefix "alto," and are known as either altocumulus or altostratus clouds. They tend to be less defined than lower clouds, although warmer middle clouds will display sharp edges due to water content, and colder middle clouds will show distinct edges shaped by ice crystals.  Scattered middle clouds against a blue sky indicate continued fair weather, and are often succeeded by clear skies and a high pressure system. Altostratus clouds that are becoming lower and have southerly winds in the northern hemisphere (vice versa for the southern hemisphere) can indicate an oncoming storm, but this will usually be several hours away. Altocumulus clouds are the clouds that you usually see during summer days. They come in many small clouds that are spread across the sky. Altocumulus clouds form by convection (vertical atmospheric motions) and cold fronts. Altocumulus clouds usually are followed by warm and humid summer mornings then a thunderstorm in the afternoon. You can tell the difference between altocumulus clouds and high level clouds by noting the shading. Altocumulus clouds usually have shading underneath portions of the clouds. This middle cloud isn't very exciting––it tends to be grayish and sheet-like without shape. You might spot a glow of the sun behind this cloud. It's a good idea to prepare for wet or snowy weather when this type of cloud crosses the sky. These lens-shaped clouds or "cloud caps" don't happen everywhere––they tend to only form over mountain ranges and peaks due to the way that winds travel up the slopes. You're probably okay on the ground, but if you're up on the mountain or flying overhead, expect strong winds or turbulence. If you are on a mountain and a cloud cap descends, expect bad weather and seek suitable shelter.

These colors are neutral and convey trust, confidence, and professionalism. Because they’re darker, blue and black can also suggest maturity and seriousness, great qualities in a job candidate.   Avoid loud, bright colors such as orange for traditional interviews. If you’re interviewing for a non-conventional, creative job, you may have more flexibility to express yourself with your wardrobe. Brighter colors may be appropriate in this case--use your discretion. No matter what kind of job you’re interviewing for, avoid wearing statement jewelry. The interviewer should be able to focus on you and your skills, not your jewelry or clothes. Workplace style definitely depends on the company’s rules, but you should generally stick to neutrals until you get to know how relaxed or rigid the dress code is. Wear clothes in gray, tan, black, blue, or brown to maintain a professional wardrobe.  White is another neutral color, but be sure to keep it clean and crisp. There is nothing worse than a dingy, yellowy white. White is also best for spring and summer. If you wear it in the winter, opt for a thick turtleneck or sweater. Black picks up lint and pet hair like a magnet. Carry a lint roller with you to keep your clothing clean. Black conveys intelligence, mysteriousness, and confidence, while red suggests passion and sexiness. Clothes such as pants, blazers, dresses, shirts, and shirts in these colors will make a strong and lasting impression.  Of course, if you don't feel comfortable in black or red, then you can choose a different color. Pick your favorite color or the color you feel best in. Select clothes and shoes that are weather appropriate. For instance, avoid wearing sandals in the winter. Bright colors or basics like black and white will contrast well and make you stand out in the photo. High-contrast colors will also flatter your skin tone.  Wear these colors closest to your face, with clothing items such as sweaters, shirts, and scarves. Avoid wearing high-necked shirt or turtlenecks when you’re getting your...

These colors are perceived as more attractive by men and women, so it’s a great way to make yourself stand out no matter who your audience is! Go with a pink bra and panty set covered up by a tight red dress. Or, opt for a red G-string with a red lace bodysuit over it. If you’re starting out fully clothed and removing the items during your routine, you’ll need to be able to take them off while you’re still moving and dancing. For this reason, it’s best to opt for pieces that you can undo with 1 hand and easily pull off. If they’re too hard to remove, it will be difficult to take them off during your routine. For example, instead of zippers and buttons, go with items that have snaps and Velcro closures. Sheer items will add a teasing element to your routine, since the audience will be able to see your skin through the pieces but not fully make out all the details. Look for sheer tops, dresses, bras, and panties and choose 1 or more sheer items to wear. Falling in the middle of your routine won’t be fun for you and it may affect your chances of taking home the prize money. Make sure that you select a pair of shoes that you can walk in easily and that make you feel sexy. You can wear high heels, boots, or whatever type of shoe you want. Look for shoes that are labeled non-slip. These usually have rubber bottoms that will provide extra traction on stage. You know what hairstyle and makeup looks work best for you, but a few simple strategies may help you to stand out more. Some things you might want to try on the night of your dance routine include:  Wearing fake eyelashes to make your eyes appear larger. Most men find this sexy, so you can’t go wrong by putting on a pair of fake eyelashes before you go on stage.  Opting for red lipstick to draw attention to your lips. This will make your lips instantly noticeable, which can help when the judges think back on your routine. Styling your hair loose and wavy so it looks like you just rolled out of bed. This will give you a sexy, tousled look. Getting or giving...

The more matching cards you have, the higher your payout will be. Don’t hold an unpaired card in the hope that you’ll get a pair on the second deal. The chances of you getting the exact card you would need are slim. A Straight consists of five cards in numerical sequence, regardless of suit. You have the best chance of getting this hand if you’re dealt three cards in sequence on the first deal. However, only attempt to get outside cards, not inside cards.   An inside card would complete the Straight by filling an inside spot. For example, if you had a 2, 3, 4, and 6, you would be looking for an inside card. The chances of getting this card are low. An outside card would complete the Straight by filling an outside spot. For example, if you have a 3, 4, 5, and 6, you could get a 2 or a 7 to complete the straight. A Flush occurs when you have five cards in the same suit. These cards can have any numerical value. You have the best chance of getting this hand if you’re dealt four cards of the same suit on the first deal. Hold these cards and hope for the fifth card of the same suit. A Full House has three cards of same numerical rank and two cards of a different but matching numerical rank. If you have two pairs on the first deal, hold these and try to get a Full House. Similarly, if you have three of a kind on the first deal, hold these for an even better chance to get a Full House. For example, if you had three jacks, hold these for a chance to get another pair and make a Full House. A Straight Flush has five cards in numerical order from the same suit. This excludes a straight using of all the face cards (a Royal Flush.) If you have three or more cards in the same suit and in numerical sequence, hold them to try to get a straight flush. It’s easier to get an “outside” card than an “inside” card. For example, if you...

These contain an antioxidant called glutathione which reduces high levels of GGT in your bloodstream. Healthy proteins like eggs and chicken will break down GGT and protect the health of your liver. Try having 2 or 3 fried or scrambled eggs in the morning for breakfast, or eating a chicken sandwich or grilled chicken for lunch. Certain legumes and nuts, including Brazil nuts, also contain glutathione. Unlike white meat and eggs, red meats like beef and pork do not contain glutathione. While red meats don’t necessarily raise your GGT levels, they don’t do anything to lower them. So, skip the steak for dinner, and opt to have a roast chicken instead. Veggies that are high in fiber and high in vitamin C can help to lower your GGT levels. Aim to eat 2 servings of veggies every day. For example, you could have a side salad with your lunch, and a plate of steamed broccoli or grilled asparagus with dinner. Vegetables that are naturally high in fiber and vitamin C include romaine lettuce, carrots, spinach, and tomatoes.

Eat more eggs and poultry. Decrease the amount of red meats that you eat. Eat 10 or 11 servings of vegetables each week.


These containers can be found at most craft stores, but can also be purchased online. After you remove the lid from your push pop container, slide the bottom all the way down so the body of the container is hollow. After you have removed the lid, this can be thrown away. This kind of confetti popper can easily be reused, but it won't need a top. You can use traditional confetti, but this popper works well with tinsel, too. You may want to use your scissors to trim tinsel into smaller pieces. This way, it'll float in the air more easily. Add your confetti or tinsel (or both) to the hollow part of the push pop container until it is completely full. Cut a small square of tissue paper that is large enough to cover the opening of the push pop container. Use tape to fasten the tissue paper firmly over the open end. This can be done easily by wrapping the outside of the popper with decorative paper and taping or gluing this in place. However, you could also paint the outside of the popper, draw designs on it, or personalize it however you wish. When you're ready to launch your confetti mixture into the air, push the stick end of the push pop container upward in a quick, firm motion. This should cause the tissue paper to pop, and the confetti to explode outwards.

Remove the lid of your push pop container. Stuff your push pop with confetti. Cover the opening of the push pop with tissue paper. Decorate your popper. Fire your confetti hand cannon. Finished.


These cosmetics items can be used to help create an appearance of paler skin. However, the effect may look artificial if you try to use a shade that's much lighter than your skin. Instead, choose the shade that best matches your skin tone – perhaps even one that is slightly lighter, since you're trying to get paler skin. Use foundation or concealer to cover minor blemishes. This will create a blank canvas on which to apply the rest of your makeup. Try a BB cream to help even out your complexion and cover blemishes or splotchy patches. Dark colors on your nails, lips, and eyes will contrast against your skin and make your skin appear paler. Try black, maroon, deep purples, reds, blues, indigo, or cobalt. Like dark makeup and other accents, having darker hair can create a contrast with the skin on your face and neck. This can bring out some natural paleness, but it is no permanent solution. There are many henna-based hair dyes available as well, in case you have sensitive skin or want to avoid some of the harsher chemicals present in other dyes. Pale people who wear pastel or light clothing can look washed out. Darker clothes might create a slight contrast, making your skin look paler by comparison. Keep in mind that this effect will only be noticeable if your skin is already fairly pale.

Use foundation and concealer sparingly. Wear dark nail polish, eye makeup, and lipstick. Consider dying your hair. Wear darker clothes.


These could both potentially be a sign of something going wrong in your digestive system. Both black and bright red stool could be an indicator of bleeding somewhere in the intestines, or from something more minor like hemorrhoids.  Bleeding from the small intestines usually produces melena, or black, tarry stools. Bleeding that originates in lower gastrointestinal tract (such as bleeding from hemorrhoids) usually results in bright red blood. There are other minor factors like diet and medications that could color stools black and red, but if you are concerned, it’s always best to talk to your healthcare provider. Bile contributes to the coloring of stool, so this lack of color could actually indicate the absence of bile. This could mean there’s something blocking a bile duct, which could potentially be an indicator for a serious medical problem. If you ever notice white or light colored stools, make sure you talk to your doctor right away. White stools usually result from steatorrhea (excretions of fat) which can may indicate pancreatic issues. While stool colors can range from browns to yellows to greens and still be considered “normal” and healthy, a medium brown color is the most common in healthy stool. It should be about the same color as a chocolate bar. Stool turns brown through a complicated process in the digestive tract. Basically, the color comes from the protein hemoglobin being broken down to create bilirubin in the liver. Food coloring, leafy vegetables, and even beets can tint stool different colors. This is normal. For example, eating leafy green veggies like kale or spinach could give your stool a green color, and eating beets could potentially turn stool a reddish color. This shouldn’t be cause for alarm, especially if you’ve recently eaten these foods. Only rarely is red stool a serious indicator of an issue in the intestine. Even bright red stool could simply be caused by bleeding from minor and common conditions like hemorrhoids. If you notice your stool is yellow in color (steatorrhea),...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Check for red or black stools. Look out for white, gray, or light-colored stool. Remember that brown poop is the most normal. Remember that certain foods can cause a change in stool color. Remember that foods high in fat can sometimes cause yellow stool. Consider what medications you’re taking. Keep in mind that newborns often have black, tarry stools.


These creams are often sold online, marketed as a cheap, noninvasive alternative to surgical removal. In fact, mole removal creams can end up leaving deep pockets in your skin, since they go beyond the mole and dig into the skin underneath, causing irreparable damage. The small scar left behind by surgical removal is minimal in comparison.  In addition, mole removal creams don't address the issue of whether or not the mole is cancerous. Applying it to a cancerous mole can be very dangerous; cancerous cells could remain and end up growing out of control without your knowledge. Don't use any type of cream or other product without consulting a doctor first. If you don't like the prospect of having surgery, you might be tempted to let your mole be and forget about it. That's usually fine, unless you notice that the mole has changed over time. A changing mole can be a sign of the presence of cancer cells, so you should have any mole checked out by your doctor. Use the ABCDE guide to examine your mole. If you notice the following, be sure to make an appointment with a doctor:  A is for asymmetrical shape. If your mole has two very different looking halves, this could be a sign of cancer. B is for border; look for moles with irregular, rather than smooth, borders. C is for color. Moles that have changed in color, have more than one color, or have color gradations should be checked out. D is for diameter. If your mole is larger than 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) and still growing, have it checked. E is for evolving. Look for any changes to your mole that occur over weeks or months. Exposure to the sun's rays can cause new moles to form. It also makes older moles more susceptible to changing and developing cancer. Be sure to protect yourself from UV rays so you don't develop new moles, and your existing ones stay healthy.  Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even in the winter. Your sunscreen should also offer broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, and it should be water resistant.  Try to keep your moles covered...

Avoid using mole removal creams. Don't ignore a mole that's changing. Protect your skin from UV rays to prevent new moles from forming.


These critters may be microscopic, but they are very cool! Tardigrades, also called water bears, are some of the most amazing animals on Earth, and live just about everywhere you can imagine. They can survive:  Temperatures as low as -200 °C (-328 °F) and as high as 151 °C (304 °F) Freezing in a block of ice Lack of oxygen for days, possibly months Lack of water for decades Levels of X-ray radiation 1,000 times the lethal human dose Many noxious chemicals Boiling alcohol Low pressure of a vacuum, like that of space Extreme pressure, up to six times greater than found at the deepest part of the ocean Note that they can only survive these conditions in cryptobiosis. If you exposed a living tardigrade to these conditions, it would die instantly. Many tardigrades are aquatic, but the easiest place for humans to find them is in damp moss, lichen, or leaf litter. Search in forests, around ponds, or even in your backyard. Your best bet is to look in damp places, where tardigrades are active. You can get a sample of dry habitat if nothing else is available, since it may contain tardigrades in an extreme hibernation state (cryptobiosis), waiting for water to rejuvenate them. Put the sample in a paper bag or envelope so it can dry out a little. (A plastic bag will trap the water and encourage mold to grow, which will block your view of the animals.)  You can take samples of several different kinds of moss, lichen, or leaf litter to see whether tardigrades like one more than another. Soft lichen is more likely to have tardigrades than hard, crusty lichen. You can even find water bears in the powdery lichen that grows on rocks and brick walls.

Learn about tardigrades. Look for a moist tardigrade habitat. Collect a sample of the moss or lichen with tweezers.

These cupcakes can be normal size or large, depending on how large you intend to make the hand decorations. Dust with cocoa for the "soil". Note that this step may need to be done before making the cupcakes and frosting them, depending on how much time the hands need to dry before adding to the cupcakes. In most cases, it can't hurt to make these at least a day ahead. To make:  Roll enough balls for the amount of cupcakes (for example, a dozen balls). Press the end of each ball to flatten into a cylinder. Flatten one end into a rounded shape. Carve out the thumb, followed by the fingers on the flattened round part. Mold the fingers and thumb to look realistic. Use a knife and toothpick as molding aids. Use a toothpick to create the impression of a fingernail on each finger and thumb. Most importantly, aim for the entire hand to be bent to look like a claw. Continue until you've made all the remaining hands. Allow to dry. Push a hand into each cupcake. Sprinkle with more cocoa if needed. At this point, add any further embellishments needed, such as candy insects, red piping gel for blood, etc.

Make the cupcakes following the recipe. Frost with chocolate frosting for the dirt. Mold the hands from the sugar paste, fondant or other edible paste you're using. Push a toothpick into the base of each hand, enough to stay embedded in the hand and enough to poke into the cupcake and be anchored. Display and serve.


These days people do wear a black tie but a bow-tie is better. You cannot wear anything less than a tuxedo. If you don't have one, rent one. This is black tie, except you can change the color of your tuxedo, tie, etc. if you want to. So that means it doesn't have to be black and white. If you are invited to a white tie wedding, congratulations! White tie consists of a black tailcoat jacket, full white waistcoat, wing-tipped collared dress shirt, self-tied white bow tie, and patent leather dress shoes. This is your only choice. You cannot wear anything else.

These days, even a “regular” coffee is going to be more exciting than yesterday’s cup of joe. Coffee shops will brew black coffee in several ways.  Drip coffee is made by letting hot water flow through coarsely-ground coffee beans. It’s usually kept on tap in large urns at coffee shops. This is a standard choice, but may be less flavorful than other brew methods. Pour overs are made by carefully pouring hot water over coffee grounds suspended in a filter over a container. These are usually made by the cup, allowing the hot water to sit with the grounds for longer and extract more flavor. French press coffee is made by letting coffee grounds sit in hot water for several minutes in a press pot. The coffee is then poured out, leaving the grounds behind. This method produces a bold flavor. Most coffee shops will have a variety of coffee types available for brewed coffee. Each has a particular flavor profile and caffeine content, which your barista will be happy to describe for you.  Light roasts are very mild in flavor. They may be called “Light City” or “Half City” roasts. Medium roasts have a deeper color and often a nutty flavor, but are still moderate in their intensity. They are sometimes marketed as “American” or “Breakfast” roasts. Dark roasts are rich, bold, and sometimes bitter. They may be labeled as “European,” “Espresso,” “Italian,” or “French” roasts. Coffee shops may offer both single origin coffees (such as “Mexican” or “Sumatran”), for unique tastes, as well as blends for balanced flavors. Espresso is made by forcing a small amount of hot water under high pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. The intensely flavorful drink is then served in a small cup called a demitasse. A slight amount of coffee-colored foam, called crema, appears at the top of properly-pulled espresso.  Espresso is sold by the “shot”: you can order a single, double (doppio), triple, and so on. Some coffee shops serve a smaller, especially intense “ristretto” shot. Ounce for ounce, espresso usually has more caffeine than...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Go with brewed coffee for a classic choice. Choose a roast type. Choose espresso for superior flavor. Select an americano for the best of both worlds. Ask for a “red eye” if you need an extra jolt of caffeine. Try cold brew for a super smooth taste.

These differ greatly from person to person, but they can include anxiety, insomnia, muscle soreness or tension and irritability. For some people distraction and friendship are the best way to beat stress because they battle the negative emotions that cause "emotional eating." Schedule time with your closest friends and family, in person or on the phone. Most people respond well to massage, yoga, journaling, stretching, meditation, hobbies or baths. Try each of these until you find the 1 that works and repeat it every day or 3 to 4 times a week. Stress can interrupt sleep, causing more stress and sending signals to your body to store fat. Plan your relaxation routine and get to bed earlier than usual. A counselor can help you develop problem-solving skills, or a psychologist may be able to help you deal with the negative feelings and reduce emotional eating.

These diffusers, which can be bought at many different department stores, are highly porous. They allow the essential oils to diffuse first into the stone and then into the air. These can be placed or hung wherever they can be most useful, such as high traffic areas or in a doorway. People walking by will cause waves of air to move by the diffusers. You can also place these diffusers in front of a fan.  Once the oil evaporates, you will have to refill it. You can also buy necklaces specifically designed to do this as well, which are worn around the neck. Electric fan diffusers are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. These typically come with pads that are used to soak up the oils. The oils can evaporate quickly on these, but the pads are changeable. Avoid any diffuser that heats the oils unless there are settings on the diffuser that you can set to approximate body temperature. Nebulizers and atomizers are like humidifiers. They break up the oil into smaller droplets so they diffuse more easily. These usually contain two basic components, a base that contains the motor for the nebulizer and a glass or plastic bowl where the essential oil is placed.  Glass is preferable to plastic bowls because essential oils won’t stick to glass as much as they will to plastic. Be careful with the glass bowl, because they can be expensive to replace. There are a number of companies and businesses, both online and in stores, that sell these types of diffusers. See which type seems best to you, and check to see if there are any reviews or customer comments to find the best ones.

These finger splints use a stiff aluminum frame to hold the finger in place as it heals. Place the splint on the palm side of the finger with the foam against the skin. It should conform to the shape of your finger. Aluminum flexion splints (or similar splints) can be purchased at nearly any pharmacy for relatively cheap. Gently press the splint into a slightly curved shape that's comfortable for your finger. If it's too painful or difficult to to do this with the affected finger, don't be afraid to use your other hand.  When your splint is comfortably bent, secure it to your finger with the provided straps or metal arms. If none are provided, use medical tape. The nodule should begin to regress with enforced lack of movement. Over time, you should experience a reduction in pain and inflammation and the return of your full range of motion. You may want to take your splint off to bathe and clean yourself. However, when you do so, try to avoid flexing your finger or doing anything else that may aggravate your condition. With rest, most cases of trigger finger will self-resolve. However, this requires patience and care to ensure the finger isn't disturbed while it's in the splint. Avoid strenuous physical activities that require the use of your hands, especially sports like basketball, football, and  baseball where you may have to catch a fast-moving object. If possible, also avoid using your splinted finger to lift heavy objects or support your weight. After a few weeks, take your finger out of its splint and try flexing it. You should be able to move your finger with less pain and difficulty. If your condition is better but you still experience some pain, you may want to wear the splint for a little longer or see a doctor for other options. If your condition doesn't seem any better or seems to have worsened, you should definitely make a doctor appointment.
