With adults, it is advised that you do not feed the bird at all, especially if you are uncertain of its species or its dietary requirements. Furthermore, if injured, it may not be able to handle solid foods. If you must feed the bird and are absolutely positive that it can handle solid foods, be sure to locate the appropriate food for their species. Consult a vet or wild bird center for advice.  Insect eaters can be fed mealworms or small crickets but not thick worms (like earthworms) or ants. Seed eaters can be fed a fortified mix, such as a fortified cockatiel seed mix. Fruit eaters can be fed berries or diced fruits. Be sure to cut it up for them. Nestlings require soft foods. In the wild, chicks would be fed regurgitated foods by their parent. You can replicate this by feeding the bird wet canned dog or cat food. You can also soak dry dog or cat food in water to make it mushy.  Baby bird formula may be available at your local pet store. Do not feed your chick birdseed, sugar water, or bread. These are extremely unhealthy for baby birds and may result in the chick becoming malnourished. Nestlings will need to be fed with a syringe. Feeding syringes can be found at your local pet store or at a drug store in the baby section.  Fill the syringe with wet canned dog, cat, or jars of mushy baby food (preferably fruit). Make sure not to shove the eye dropper down the chick's throat. It could choke them. If you cannot find a feeding syringe, you can also use a toothpick. Skewer the food on the pick. Be careful not to stab the chick as you feed it. Baby birds will eat every fifteen to twenty minutes from dawn to dusk. When hungry, they should call for you with an open mouth. Do not feed them until they exhibit this behavior. At night, the baby birds may not call for food; this is normal. That said, if you have a bird under a week old, it may call for food every few hours in the night. You may feed the bird again if this happens.  The bird’s crop (or bottom of their throat) may expand as they eat. This is normal. As...

Feed adult birds only if necessary. Find appropriate food for baby birds. Use a syringe for unfeathered baby birds. Feed often. Wean them off the syringe once they start moving around.


With already dry locks, partition your hair into four sections, held together by hair ties. Coat your hairline and ears with protective balm (provided in the kit), vaseline, or lip balm to protect from spilled dye. Put on your plastic gloves on your gloves, and mix together the color, following instructions from the color kit. Mix the color over a towel to avoid a mess. You can use a tint brush to apply color evenly along the locks, or you can dip your locks into the color mixture, scrunching the locks with your gloved hands to soak them with the color. You don’t need to worry about getting the inside of the dreads colored, just focus on thoroughly covering the outside of each lock. Put the dreads up into a hair cap while the color is setting to avoid drippage and stains. Follow the instructions on the color kit carefully to ensure that the color sets, typically adding 10-15 minutes of setting time for dreaded hair. Taking the color out too early can lead to poor outcomes, but leaving it in too long can damage your hair. Typically this takes 1 or 2 washes for dyed dreads. You can use a neutralizing shampoo to repair any damage that might have been done by the color, or simply shampoo, condition, and moisturize with your favorite moisturizing oil. Once the locks are clean, retwist the dreads to your liking.

Partition your hair and protect your hairline with protective balm. Mix the hair dye together in a bowl. Cover the outside of your locks in color. Leave color in for the set time plus a dreadlock buffer. Wash the color out of your hair until the water runs clear.


With an addiction, it's important to take the time to celebrate your achievements. Each day you go without harming yourself should be celebrated as a victory. At the end of your first week, celebrate by treating yourself to something or going out with friends. Start extending the length of your milestones, celebrating at first with days, and then weeks, months, and years. You may struggle with these thoughts for a while, but celebrating your milestones can help celebrate your efforts, looking forward and looking back. . In the end, it's up to you: If you think positive and have faith in yourself, your addiction will become a distant memory that may have left you with a few scars. Once you stop self-harming, you'll feel and think much more clearly and honestly about the world, and about yourself. Believe that others care about you, and care about yourself. You can stop. Sometimes you will start to think about self-harm or actually harm yourself. This is called a relapse. You can't beat yourself up over this; everyone relapses at one point or another. Remember that self-harm is an addiction, and relapses often happen during recovery. There may be times where you can't help yourself, but that only means you must continue to work hard. Just because you take one step back doesn't mean you can't take three steps forward next.

With an eraser, begin by erasing one number from each column, row and 3x3 square. The more you erase, the harder the puzzle will be to solve, so think about how difficult you want the puzzle to be. Erase lightly so that if you change your mind, you’ll be able to recover your clues. Also, consider making a copy of your solution to reference. With each digit that you erase, work through the puzzle to make sure it can still be finished. Make sure that your player will still be able to use the clues available to fill in the blanks, and that there aren’t spaces with insufficient clues. If you find that it’s too difficult, replace the clues that you erased and try erasing others. Once you’ve finished erasing clues, give each empty square some extra attention with the eraser. If you don’t fully erase the missing squares, your player may be able to see which number was originally there. Then, use your marker to trace the numbers in the filled squares so that they don’t smudge. If you want to, copy your finished puzzle onto a new grid so there's no chance of a player seeing your original answers. Make some copies of your finished puzzle at home or in a copy shop. Next, share it with your friends and family members. Get some feedback about the difficulty of your puzzle, then practice making a few more.

With any citation, you begin with the author's name. In this case, the report was authored by the organization, so you'll use "World Health Organization" at the beginning of the citation, followed by a period. The first part of your reference looks like this: World Health Organization. The year is when the report was published or last updated.  APA prioritizes when the text was published because this type of citation is primarily used in scientific fields. The date is usually at the top of the page, but you might also find it at the bottom. You'll place the year in parenthesis after the author. Follow the parenthesis with a period. If the publication has a month and day, add it too, placing it after the year. Use "n.d." if you can't find a year.  It will look like this: World Health Organization. (2011).  If it has a month and day, it will look like this: World Health Organization. (2011, January 5). After the date, you'll put the title of the report. You'll find the title of the report at the top of the web page or web document. In the citation, place the title of the report in italics. Follow it with a period.  When capitalizing the title of the report, use sentence capitalization, meaning you only capitalize the first word and proper nouns. Your citation now looks like this: World Health Organization. (2011, January 5). A report about health. Finally, you'll add the website you retrieved it from at the end. Before the website, you'll write "Retrieved from." Use the website for the exact location you found the report, not the general website. Your citation will look like this: World Health Organization. (2011, January 5). A report about health. Retrieved from http://www.fakewhowebsite.com/report/about_health If your report is in print, just leave the website off.

With any of the above methods, wear the piercing around your house before wearing it out. You may have to adjust the size if it does not fit in your nose.  A septum piercing is worn on the bridge of flesh separating your nostrils. Place your piercing around this bridge and walk around for a bit. If the piercing falls off or feels loose, use your pliers or fingers to tighten your fake piercing. Conversely, if it's feels painful you may have to increase the size of your loop.

With any type of exercise it's important to start your routine with a warm-up.  It's generally a combination of light stretching, range of motion exercises and low intensity versions of your planned activity.  Even with strength training, it's important to include a warm-up.  Getting in a proper warm-up with strength training is essential.  You'll be focusing on working a very specific muscle group (your shoulders, upper back and arms with pike push-ups) and you  need to make sure those muscles are warm before you work them. Before doing your pike push-ups, do some light stretching.  You may want to do a cat/cow stretch on the ground, the back scratcher stretch or even a forward fold stretch. Also include some range of motion exercises.  Do neck rolls, shoulder rolls (both forwards and backwards) or shoulder shrugs. Lastly, do some light weight lifting exercises.  You can do a traditional or modified push-up or shoulder presses with light weights. Compared to a traditional push-up, a pike push-up uses a very different form.  It's essential to make sure you get into the correct form to prevent injury.  To start a pike push-up, get down into a regular or traditional push-up position.  Your feet should be hip width apart and your arms should be shoulder width apart. Start to walk your hands backwards towards your feet.  Keep your legs straight as you do this. Stop when your body forms an upside down "V" shape and between your torso and legs is a 90 degree angle.  This will be your starting and ending position. When you first start to include pike push-ups into your exercise routine, you'll need to gauge how many you can do.  Since the shoulders can be a delicate area of muscles, it's important to avoid overdoing it as you can injury yourself.  In the starting position, bend your elbows out away from your body at a 45 degree angle. They shouldn't be straight out to the sides or flushed against the side of your body. Bend your elbows until your head touches the ground.  Slowly push yourself back up to the starting...

With any weight loss plan, it's important to measure your portion sizes.  If you overeat, even relatively healthy foods, you can gain weight.    Decreasing your portion sizes can be a fairly simple way of decreasing your overall calorie intake, which can result in weight loss.  When planning and serving your meals and snacks, follow these standard portion sizes: 1 serving of fruit is 1/2 cup or 1 small whole fruit, 1 serving of grains is 1 oz or 1/2 of a cup, 1 serving of lean protein is 3 oz, and 1 serving of low-fat dairy is 1 cup (milk and yogurt) or 2 oz of cheese.  If you do eat some vegetables, 1 serving of vegetables is 1 cup or 2 cups of leafy vegetables. Counting calories is another fairly simple way to lose weight.  Cutting out a few calories from each meal and snack may help you lose weight.  You can also try swapping out higher calorie foods for lower calorie foods to help decrease your total calorie intake each day.  Losing weight safely means only dropping one to two pounds per week.  In terms of calories, that equates to eating about 500 calories less each day. If you cut out more than 500 calories daily or are eating less than 1200 calories daily, you could be at risk for nutrient deficiencies.  Weight loss achieved with very low calorie diets is generally not sustainable long-term. Fruits and vegetables are one of the main sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in your diet.  Avoiding or minimizing the amount of vegetables you consume can minimize how many nutrients you get through the foods you choose.  Focus on consuming adequate fruit daily to maximize the nutrition content of your diet.  It's recommended to consume about two servings of fruit daily.  This equates to two pieces or two cups of fruit.  Each color fruit offers you a different nutrient.  Choose a variety of fruit and different colored fruits each day to maximize your intake of different nutrients.  Also, eat nutrient-dense fruits.  Although all fruit is a healthy choice, some fruits offer more nutrients than others. ...

With cases of rheumatoid vasculitis that affects the skin and/or nerves, make an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss prescription medication regimens. Because this is an inflammatory process, taking steroids coupled with a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) such as methotrexate is considered first line therapy.  Steroid doses range from 30 to 100 mg twice daily at onset for two to four weeks. Methotrexate starts with a dose of 10 mg/week increasing to a dose of 20 to 25 mg/week, based on the effectiveness and side effects. Exacerbation of vasculitis or occurrence of nodules may manifest but it is considered rare. Azathioprine can be substituted for methotrexate in doses of 50mg/day to 150 mg divided daily. Moderate or severe diseases is characterized by organ involvement such as the heart, nervous system or kidneys. Steroids administered by IV will act faster.  The doctor will administer a maximum dose of 250 mg intravenously twice daily. IV steroids may be used in conjunction with the addition of a biologic drug and/or methotrexate. Several small case studies have been reported with successful usage of biologic.,,, , , Literature review studies have reported that smoking tobacco has a strong causal link with rheumatoid vasculitis. The cessation of tobacco use diminished RA vasculitis and extra-organ diseases, and with improved survival, points to a better outcome for patients., Reach out to your healthcare provider, support groups, special counselors for tobacco quitting, and individuals who support your decision and want to help. Your doctor may assess your willingness to quit, then provide you with appropriate treatments such as nicotine gum, nicotine patch, counseling services or prescription medications such as Chantix. Counseling and medication together are more effective than either one alone.

With each interval of cooking and stirring, the caramel will appear smoother and smoother. It's ready once you get all of the lumps out. If you have a powerful microwave, or if the caramel is melting quickly, work in 30-second intervals instead. If the caramel is still too thick for you, stir in more of your liquid 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) at a time until you get the desired consistency. Pour any leftover caramel into a glass jar. Let it cool down to room temperature, then store it in the fridge for up to 3 months.  Add the liquid before the caramel cools. The caramel will harden a little in the fridge. Reheat it using your preferred method before using it again.

With everyone everywhere on a smart phone, tablet, or laptop, technology is fast becoming one of the primary ways humans communicate. Social media networks, online forums, and dating websites and chat-rooms are common stomping grounds for creeps who won't take no for an answer. Perhaps you were previously friendly with another user and he said or did something that made you uncomfortable. You have a right to tell him to back off. In the clearest way possible, tell him that you are no longer interested in chatting or maintaining contact. Request that the person stop contacting you. Your request might be as straightforward as "Can you please stop contacting me?" If you have clearly and firmly asked the person to stop contacting you, and he continues anyway, the next step is to block this person from your social media profiles or chat-rooms. Removing this guy as a friend or follower should prevent him from being able to contact you any further.  Sit down and go through each network in which you have had contact with him and block him from being able to view your profile and reach out to you. There are two easy ways to block contact on Facebook. You can visit the person's profile and select Block from the "..." menu. You can also click the padlock symbol on your on profile. The prompt "How do I stop someone from bothering me?" should appear. Select this, and then enter the name or email address of the user you want to block. If you need help blocking an unfriendly user, you can always ask for assistance from the administrators of whatever site you're using. Typically, these customer service agents will make haste of blocking this person and the person will not be able to contact you again. If you gave out your email address, or if it was listed on your user accounts, it might be a good idea to change it. If the person has not been contacting you via email, you may be okay to keep using your current one. If a person online is stalking you, it's important to gather any inappropriate messages, emails, photos, or...

With gas prices always fluctuating and often on the rise, fuel efficiency is as important today as it has ever been when considering purchasing a new vehicle.  Kelley Blue Book recently named the 2015 Lexus NX 300h the most fuel efficient SUV, with an estimated 35MPG city and 31MPG highway.  Other SUVs that made the top ten list for most fuel efficient include the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek (29MPG city, 33MPG highway), the 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman (28MPG city, 35MPG highway), and the 2015 Lexus RX 450h (32MPG city, 28MPG highway). When it comes to fuel efficiency, hybrid models will usually get you the most bang for your buck, as they combine both electric and gas power. The Toyota Highlander offers a Hybrid model that also has a third row seat. You won’t want to buy an SUV that will constantly require repairs or maintenance.  A survey of 34,000 drivers on the need for repairs in the first three years of ownership rated the GMC Yukon as needing very little work over that time.  One the more luxurious end, JD Power’s Vehicle Dependability Study also rated the Buick Enclave as a highly dependable vehicle in the first three years of ownership.

With getting yourself ready, caring for pets and kids or juggling before-work chores, you're packing in a lot of activities in the morning. Lighten the load by preparing breakfast and lunch the evening before. When all you have to do is grab your meal and go, you're less likely to skip breakfast because you're in a rush and you'll avoid grabbing unhealthy fast food for lunch.  Keep your energy levels high. The energy you got from eating dinner the night before is depleted by morning. Eating a high-fiber breakfast stabilizes your blood sugar, which helps you feel energized and more focused. You need energy for maximum motivation in the morning and all day long. Avoid refined carbohydrates such as doughnuts because they create a blood sugar spike and then a crash.  Keep your breakfast simple and nutritious. Boil eggs and refrigerate so they're handy for busy mornings. Enjoy a hard-boiled egg with an English muffin and a banana for a balanced breakfast. Another option is to cook oatmeal overnight in a crockpot. Enjoy hot oatmeal and fruit in the morning and refrigerate leftovers for a quick breakfast the rest of the week. Pack a balanced lunch. Use a wide-mouthed mason jar to make a high-protein salad. Place salad dressing at the bottom of the jar. Next, layer veggies such as cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots and chickpeas. Add lean protein such as grilled chicken. Finally add leafy greens on the top, close the lid and refrigerate. The salad will stay fresh overnight since the greens are separated from the dressing. When you're ready for lunch, simply shake the jar to spread the dressing and then pour into a bowl. Your body uses food from dinner as fuel while you sleep. You'll wake up with more energy and motivation when you power your body with the right foods the night before. Eat lean protein such as grilled chicken, fish or beans.

With more workplaces trending towards business casual, or in some cases outright casual, these days, it can be difficult to select the right attire for your specific office. It's best to assess the formality of the office when you go in for an interview. If, however, you are starting your job without visiting the office, there's no shame in asking your boss directly what the office dress code is like. Workplace attire generally falls into one of three categories:  Business professional attire is the most formal of business dress codes. This is common in conservative industries like law, finance, accounting, and some government positions. Women in these jobs must be more or less uniform with the men that they work with. This means that you will generally be wearing either a tailored suit or a dress and accompanying structured jacket. Business casual is probably the most common type of business attire in the modern day. Casual, however, is a bit of a misnomer here. You'll typically want to be wearing either a collared shirt or sweater with dress pants or chinos. It's also appropriate to wear a professional-looking dress or skirt and blouse, but make sure that the piece is knee-length or longer. Truly casual attire is rare in any workplace; even "casual Friday" or "no dress code" generally means that you should strive for the lower end of business casual. If, however, you work for a software company or some other progressive company, you may be able to wear casual clothing to work. This means jeans and a t-shirt or, frankly, whatever you want. There a few other qualifications you'll want to consider when buying your professional clothes. First, you'll mainly want to focus on buying neutral colors. Think black, grays, subdued blues, and browns. This is especially true for business professional workplaces; business casual workplaces allow for a bit more color. In addition, make sure that:  Your dresses and clothes are not too tight or revealing. For business professional workplaces, be sure that your dresses or...

With most common viruses and with most healthy adults, viral infections clear without additional treatment.  If, however, an individual’s immune system is compromised, a doctor should be called as soon as any symptoms of infection occur. Immune compromise can occur in the very young, older individuals, those infected with HIV/AIDs, individuals who have had an organ transplant and cancer patients going through chemotherapy.  Watch for these common symptoms of viral infections:  Fever Joint aches and pains Sore throat Headache Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Skin rash Fatigue Nasal congestion If any of the common viral infection symptoms becomes severe, call a physician immediately.  If a physician is not available, call for emergency services. If you experience any of the following symptoms at any time, go to your nearest emergency room.  Any change in your alertness or level of consciousness Chest pain A deep chest cough that produces wet or liquid yellow, green or brownish phlegm (discharge) Lethargy or unresponsiveness to stimuli (sounds, light, touch) Any form of seizure Any shortness of breath, wheezing, or any difficulty breathing A stiff or sore neck, or a severe headache Yellowing of the skin or the sclera (the whites of the eyes) Specific treatment always depends on the specific virus.  There are hundreds of different viruses that are known to infect humans. Many can be largely prevented with vaccination, such as influenza, chicken pox, shingles and others. Talk with your doctor about getting vaccinated against certain viruses. If you experience symptoms that you think may be a viral infection for more than 48 hours without getting relief from the approaches listed, make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible.

With offensive headers, you score by jumping up and using your forehead to re-direct high balls. It’s a perfect goal for two people to score together, with one player assisting and one scoring. Together, you’ll put balls in the net that would otherwise sail over the top goalpost. You should keep your eyes open and trained on the ball from the minute you get ready to head the ball until you’re ready to celebrate or shed a few tears. This will not only help you shoot accurate goals, it’ll also keep you from crashing into other players. If you jump up high enough, you may also need your eyes to help you land on your feet safely. If you open your mouth when you head balls, you may it shut it randomly when you make contact with the ball. This could cause you to bite your tongue or hurt your jaw. As you get ready to head the ball, it’s important to keep your body straight and lined up with the goal. You’ll be using your your abdomen and back muscles, as well as the muscles in your neck to score. If you twist your body, the amount the power in your strike will be limited by your compressed core muscles. In order to get the ball into the net, you’ll need to head it in that direction. Jump up so that your eyes are above the ball. This will let you control your header and attack the ball with your forehead from above. Move your head forward quickly to attack the ball with your forehead. Use the middle of your forehead (right above your eyebrows) to head the ball, since this is the largest and flattest surface on your head. This spot will give you more control over the direction of your goal.  Don’t be afraid of the ball. Remember that heading the ball is one of the most effective -- and coolest -- ways you can score a goal. Be positive and follow through with confidence in your game.  Be sure not to hit the ball with either the top or sides of your head. You won’t be able to keep your eyes on the ball or the goal with these approaches. This will make your headers harder to control and more inaccurate. Most offensive...

With one hand, brush or pull your hair back, trying to avoid fly-away strands. With the other hand, grab a hair tie and slip the ponytail through the elastic. Twist the elastic, forming a figure-8 and pull the hair through again. Keep twisting the elastic and pulling your hair through until the elastic is tight.  Consider covering the hair tie with a scrunchie, a ribbon, or a bow or ribbon in your school colors. If you don't want any hair ties visible, take a strand of hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail several times, covering the hair tie. Tuck the end into your hair tie, under your hair. Secure the hair strand using a bobby pin. You can wear your ponytail low at the base of your neck, high on the top of your head, or medium high at the very back of your head. You can even wear it on the side of your head. This style is also known as an upside down ponytail. Start with a ponytail. Make a hole in your hair just above the hair tie, between the back of your head and the tie. Be sure to keep equal hair on either side of the hole. Pass the ponytail through the hole, and give it a tug. You can then tie a scrunchy or a bow around the base of the ponytail. You can also add a bow hair clip above it. Start with a high ponytail on top of your head. Take your ponytail and twist it into a rope, then wrap it around the elastic as many times as you can. While holding the hair in place with one hand, start securing the bun with some bobby pins. Place a bobby pin in the front, back, left, and right side of the bun, then place another bobby pin between them. Finally, spritz the bun with a small amount of hairspray, and smooth down any flyaway strands with a little bit more hairspray. Add a bit of detail to the bun by braiding a strand of hair and wrapping it around the bun. Secure the braid with a bobby pin. Start with a high ponytail.

With short cuts, thick, bushy ends can rise to a point at the top of your scalp, giving your hair an unbalanced look, especially if you use thinning shears. Layers help to redistribute the volume for an overall look that is sleeker and less poofy.  Tell your stylist that your hair feels too full and heavy on the bottom, and that you'd like long layers for a thinned-out look. Try to avoid blunt cuts that tend to be less forgiving of areas with more thickness. If you have a blunt cut, ask your stylist to incorporate more layers, especially if you’re growing your hair from a shorter style. Start drying at the roots and work down to the ends. Position a round brush underneath the hair to brush the hair in a downward motion as you apply heat to the top of the hair. You can rotate the round brush slightly at the end of the hair to add a small curl, or just let the hair slide through the brush.  Try to avoid pulling up on the hair as you dry it with the brush because this can add volume to your roots and make the hair look thicker. After drying thick hair, it can sometimes look frizzy due to the water evaporating from the hair. A taming product like argan hair oil or anti-frizz serum can help keep the hair looking sleek throughout the day. for an even thinner look. Flat irons use very hot metal plates to make the hair as flat and thin as possible. Make sure your hair is completely dry, then slowly pass the iron over 1 in (2.5 cm) sections of hair 1-2 times to make sure it’s completely straight.  When you use a flat iron, always apply a heat protector serum to your hair before styling to prevent hair damage. Try to avoid straightening sections more than 2 times because this can cause breakage from the iron pulling on the hair. If you find your hair isn’t straightening after 2 passes, increase the heat. If this still doesn't help, then you may need to switch to a flat iron that has ceramic, titanium, or tourmaline plates.

With some cramps, constipation follows. The calcium in yogurt helps relieve pain while the probiotics help regulate your digestive tract. However, avoid yogurts with a high sugar content which can cause excess bloating and upset your stomach even more.  Calcium can also be found in other dairy products like milk and cheese, and in vegetables like mustard greens, collard greens, and turnip greens.  However, dairy should be consumed sparingly, as it contains an acid that can cause cramps. Different kinds of teas can help with different symptoms of menstruation. The herbs inside the tea work to help relieve pain, relax muscles, and even control the flow of bleeding. Try drinking:   Ginger tea. It is an antispasmodic herb that helps relieve pain and reduce bloating. It also helps oxygenate your body which works to relieve stress. If you don't have powdered ginger, grate a tablespoon of real ginger, mix it with hot water, and let it steep for 5 minutes before drinking.  Chamomile tea.

With some metal watch straps, it is necessary to separate the bracelet before you can remove any links. To do this:  Remove the spring bar from the watch strap clasp. To identify which spring bar it is, hold the clasp in your left hand, and it will be the one on the left side.  Use the spring bar removal tool or pin pusher to compress the spring bar and lever it out of the clasp. Be careful that it doesn't spring across the room, because this is the only one you have! Use the pin pusher or spring bar removal tool to push the pin that secures that particular link, following the direction of the printed arrows on the underside of the metal link.  You should be able to push the pin 2 or 3mm and then pull it out from the other side using your pair of pliers or by hand. Place the pin in your parts tray, you will need it to put the bracelet back together again. Some watch bands contain small metal ferrules in the middle of joining links that will be released when you take out a pin. It may fall onto the floor or work station, so keep an eye out for it. You will need it later. Repeat the pin removal process on the link's other pin. When you have finished, you should have two pins and possibly two ferrules ready to use later. If you need to, remove another link on the other side of the clasp, using the same process. When you have removed as many links as you need to, you are ready to join the bracelet back together. Once the required links have been removed the pin will need to replaced into the band to complete it again. To do this replace the pin in the opposite direction to the arrows.  If your watch band has ferrules, place the ferrule in the middle of the link that you are joining up, and when you push the pin back into the hole, make sure to engage the ferrule. If you need to, you can gently tap the pin back into place using your small hammer. To reconnect the clasp, you need to do the reverse of the disconnecting process. Ensure that the clasp is the right way round and replace the spring bars. Your watch...

With the backstroke you can breathe normally the whole time. Use this stroke to start, or if you want to take a break from the more technical breathing required for other strokes. The backstroke can improve your posture by extending your back and shoulder muscles.  Try to keep your body as flat as possible at the surface of the water. If you let your hips dip too far down, it can slow you down. The backstroke is more or less the same as freestyle, only you're laying on your back instead of on your stomach. When you swim the backstroke, you'll be looking at the ceiling the whole time. Identify markers that will let you know when you're near the end of your lane so you don't run into the wall. The freestyle stroke is perhaps the most popular competitive swimming stroke, and it's good for stretching your entire body. You'll get a particularly good workout of your shoulders and back, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.  To swim freestyle, you'll be on your stomach in the water. Push off from the wall and extend your arms straight out in front of you. You'll pull your body forward with your arms by lowering one arm at a time deep into the water and circling it back around when it reaches the outside of your thigh. As you're bringing one arm up, push the other arm down to repeat the motion. Rotate your body with the stroke. Do flutter kicks with your legs to help propel your body forward. You may want to practice your flutter kicks while holding on to the wall. While the breaststroke can be technically difficult to perform well, it can be a relaxing stroke because you can better control the pace. It provides the same whole-body benefits as freestyle, and can be a good stroke to alternate for slower laps.  For the breaststroke, move both of your arms at the same time. Start on your stomach on the water with your arms out in front of you. Starting at your chin, push your palms forward, out, and down, keeping your hands in front of your shoulders at all times. Keep your hands in a spear-point shape....

With the busy lifestyles that many of us lead it is very easy to get into bad habits that may cause us to rush meals. When you eat quickly you may unwittingly swallow air along with your food, which then gets trapped and causes bloating. Sounds a little silly, but that's actually how it works! Try chewing your food 30 times before swallowing; you may not wish to stick with this discipline but it is a great way to become more conscious of the way that you eat and to adjust it accordingly. And to see if it affects the bloat! Eating smaller portions is kinder to your tummy -- and your waistline -- so try having 4-5 small meals a day rather than 3 large ones. It keeps your metabolism ticking over nicely and prevents the kind of hunger that can lead to large portions. In addition, to keeping everything running smoothly in there.  Binge eating can lead to bloating, so stick to small meals.  Ever felt terrible after Thanksgiving? Yeah. That. That feeling needs to go and never come back. Eating little and often keeps you going and energized and prevents you from having to loosen your belt afterward. Eating is supposed to make you feel good, not exhausted! This is especially true if the meal contains lots of carbs. When you load up late at night, you just wake up feeling all puffy-like in the morning. You spend the night retaining water and wake up feeling like a sponge. So if one of your meals is big, make it lunch. Then you have time to work it off! Or do anything that ups your air intake needlessly. That means talking while eating, too. The more gulps of air you take in with that food or drink, the more that has to get processed in your body. It has to get rid of it somehow, so it turns into bloating and gas.

Take your time. Eat little and often. Avoid large meals late at night. Don't use a straw!


With the differential drain bolt in place, locate the fill bolt near the top of the differential.  In some vehicles, you will not be able to see it easily, but you should be able to feel it if it is on the top.  Many vehicles now place the filler bolt on the back side of the differential for easier access.  Use a hand or socket wrench to remove the filler bolt. Set the bolt aside some place safe so you don’t lose it as you fill the differential. Use a hand pump to fill the differential with fluid.  You will not be able to pour the fluid directly in because of the angle.  Hand pumps come in a number of varieties and will allow you to pump the fluid out of the container from beneath the differential.   Open the seal on the top of the differential fluid and insert the inlet hose or tube for the hand pump. Be careful not to tip the differential fluid over with the pump as you get situated beneath the differential. Crank or pump the hand pump to introduce new fluid into the differential.  Continue to pump until you reach the maximum capacity listed in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or until you see fluid start to seep out of the filler hole.   You can purchase hand pumps at most auto parts stores. Check the automaker’s website for maximum capacities if you do not have an owner’s manual. Once the differential is full of new fluid, replace the filler bolt with your hand, then tighten it using the wrench.  Ensure the filler and drain bolts are both secure and wipe them down with a rag so you will be able to identify any leaking in the future.  Take the vehicle for a short drive, then check to ensure neither bolt is leaking. If you spot a leak, tighten the bolts and wipe them down again.

With the exception of sliding doors, all exterior doors should have a deadbolt lock in addition to the lock built into the doorknob. The deadbolt should be high quality (grade 1 or 2, solid metal with no exposed screws on the exterior), with a throw bolt (the bolt that comes out of the door) at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) long. The lock should be properly installed. Many homes have lower quality deadbolts or throw bolts less than 1 inch (2.5 cm). These must be replaced. Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home.  The dead-lock (sometimes called an 'exit-only deadbolt') is a deadbolt that does not have an external key.  It may be clearly visible on the door from the outside, but it cannot be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself.  While this security won't help directly when you aren't home, its visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door. The best way to secure sliding doors is to install keyed locks at the top and bottom. You can also make or purchase a bar that swings down from the door frame to the middle of the door to prevent the door from sliding. At the very least, place a rod (a thick wooden dowel, for example) in the bottom track of the door to keep it from being opened. Regardless of the method you use, it's a good idea to reinforce the glass with polycarbonate panels, as recommended in the previous step.

With the face and beard completed, you can now outline Santa’s body, and begin to add more detail.  Draw over the outer edges of your original circles and ovals. You want to fill out Santa’s body now, making him look more three-dimensional. Only draw the outer edges of your shapes. Erase any intersecting parts to give your drawing weight. Once completed, you will have a three-dimensional looking Santa that has a hat, but still no clothes. Santa wears a waistcoat that extends to knees, a belt, baggy pants, boots, and gloves.  Start with Santa’s waistcoat. Draw the bottoms of the coat by drawing a curved line on the outer side of each of Santa’s legs. The lines should curve away from his legs until each line reaches the knee. Then draw two curved lines back up and connect these lines by the belly button area. The bottoms of the waistcoat get a white fringe similar to his hat. Add the belt. The belt is a thick rectangle that curves slightly around Santa’s belly. The bottom of the belt is where the two flaps of the waistcoat meet around the belly button. Add a square buckle in the middle and two belt loops, one on either side. Add a circular button or two in the center of the waistcoat. Below Santa’s waistcoat are his pants which can be drawn with a few vertical zig-zag lines. He also has big boots which go up to his shins. Finally, draw two rectangular cuffs on his sleeves where his wrists are and make sure his hands are outlined. Add extra details before doing this if you like, such as making his beard longer or his belt buckle more elaborate. Erase any extraneous lines you may see. Then color him in.  Santa’s hat, coat, pants, and boots are all red. His boots are slightly darker than the other red garments. The fringes on his hat and coat, including his cuffs, are white. You can make his gloves and belt brown, or even green if you like.

With the footrest down and the back in an upright position, gently flip the recliner forward to reveal the frame underneath the seat of the recliner. Look on either side of the recliner for clips or tabs where springs attach. If the springs are still present, you just need to locate where they attach to the frame on either end of the spring. Firmly grasp one end of the spring and disconnect the spring from the frame by pulling and twisting it loose with pliers.  Be careful when removing the spring as it will be under high tension. Wear safety goggles to prevent eye damage from potential flying metal. The best springs to use in a recliner would be manufacturer replacement parts made for your recliner model.  Contact a local recliner retailer to inquire if they provide replacement parts. Search online for recliner repair or parts dealers. If exact matches can’t be found, ask a retailer which springs would be compatible with your recliner model. Place a screwdriver through the loop on each end of the spring. Pull the spring apart gently. Slide a nickel in between each coil of the spring to separate the coils. You can also use washers in place of nickels. Connect one end of the spring to the attachment point of the frame. Using a pair of pliers, pull the spring to attach to the frame at the other end. Be extremely careful when working with springs under tension. Locking adjustable pliers are good to ensure you have a solid grip on the spring. Gently pull the nickels from between each coil with a pair of pliers. Once the nickels are removed the spring will return to its normal tension. Ensure the spring is securely attached at both ends prior to removing the nickels. Flip the recliner back over and sit in it. Lean against the backrest to test the tension of the springs. There should be some resistance when you lean the backrest back. If the resistance isn’t right, you may need to try another set of springs.

With the handkerchief lying on a flat surface, and one corner point toward you, fold the bottom corner up to the top corner. Your handkerchief should not form a triangle. Smooth the crease at the bottom. Keeping the corners that are touching aligned, fold them down to the bottom of the handkerchief where it is folded. When you fold the point down, make sure it hits at the center of the fold. Pinching one end of the handkerchief with each hand, fold it in half lengthwise. Make sure that the two creases that are now touching are lined up well. Smooth the whole handkerchief down so that it is as flat as possible. If you have long hair, this handkerchief style will work best if it is pulled up rather than hanging down. Your hair should be pulled up at least higher than the base of your skull for the best results. Grip the ends of the handkerchief and lift it over your head so that the middle of the handkerchief rests against your head under the hair in the back. Then tie the loose ends at the front of your head, just above your forehead. Tie a second knot to secure the handkerchief in place. Then to make the front look better, tuck the loose ends under the band so that you can no longer see them.

With the head bandage controlling the bleeding, you can now seek veterinary attention. Phone the vet clinic, tell them what has happened, and arrange to take the dog in to be assessed. The vet will address issues such as wound contamination and infection, and will determine if the tear needs suturing. There are occasions when the bleeding will persist once the head bandage is removed. In these cases, your vet may need to sedate your dog or give him an anesthetic. The vet will then ligate the bleeding vessels and then suture the wound to protect the ligatures. Some tears in the ear flap heal without intervention provided the bleeding stops and the dog does not scratch the ear. However, some wounds do need suturing in order to heal. If the tear extends through the entire ear, your vet will probably recommend suturing the wound.

With the only materials needed being tape and scissors, this method's only downfall is the precision and time it takes. But if you have an afternoon to spare, you can create a design that's intricate, beautiful, and straight up impressive. Washi tape is like normal tape, only it's patterned and sturdy. The idea here is to have several different patterns of tape cut into different geometrical shapes (triangles, generally). A hundred carefully placed pieces of tape combine to form one amazing, abstract masterpiece. If you've a steady hand, give it a shot! . Have some colored, pretty paper lying around? Or some sheet music, maybe a book you tear up? Even some wrapping paper? Excellent. With a glue stick, some varnish (decoupage glue is 1 part water to 1 part white glue), and a brush, you're set!  Cut your paper into pieces -- or rip it for a distressed look. You can make it totally haphazard or more patchwork-y. Glue each piece down to your cover, overlapping a tiny bit. Make sure the papers on the edge wrap around the side, leaving none of the original cover visible when the notebook is turned over or inspected. Be sure to press out the air bubbles as you glue each one down.  Put one or two coats of varnish on the entire thing. Let dry and you're finished! If your notebook cover is papery (plastic won't work), there's an easy way to make it uniquely you: add your favorite quote!  In Photoshop (or similar program), write out your favorite quote in the font and design you like. Make sure the dimensions match the size of your notebook cover. Print out the paper and attach it the front of your notebook with a piece of transparent tape to keep the design from moving. Make sure the tape doesn't cover any of the letters. Pressing down firmly with a ballpoint pen, trace the letters. Check near an edge to see if the ink is lightly transferring, creating a stencil. Once you're finished tracing, remove the cover and the tape. Paint your letters with acrylic paints. If you'd like, take a black scrapbooking pen and outline...

With the pants on top of the top, back portion of the jacket, fold the bottom of the jacket up to lie on top of the pants. Use your hands to gently spread out any uneven and bumpy surfaces. Hold on to the entire folded suit by the jacket bottom and collar area, and flip the suit over.Again, make sure that the lapels of the suit jacket are straight and even. Open up a large, plastic zip bag, and place the folded side of the suit into the bag first. The collar should be toward the top of the bag.  As you close the zip closure on the bag, leave some room for air in the bag. Once the suit is folded in the plastic bag, you can place it in your wardrobe or drawer.  The air pocket in the bag will provide a barrier of air space, so if anything is on top of the suit, it won’t press down and cause wrinkles in the suit.

With the plumbing and electrical fixtures in place, the building crew will use a concrete mixer to cover the steel forms set up along the interior of the pool. They’ll grade and smooth the concrete manually while it’s still wet.  For pools with varying depths, it will be necessary to check that the angle of slope is consistent from one end to the other. The walls of concrete pools are typically finished with either cinder block or sprayed concrete. Take some time to discuss the benefits of each option with your building contractor. Most fiberglass pools come in a single-piece construction. If you picked out a premade fiberglass pool for your yard, it will need to be put in place using a crane or similar piece of equipment. Afterwards, the building crew will fill in the space around the pool with dirt or concrete. In some cases, fiberglass liners are installed by spraying the fiberglass material onto an existing frame rather than setting a premade pool in one piece. Vinyl liners can only be installed after the concrete base has been poured and given 1-2 full days to dry. The installers will unroll the one-piece vinyl sheet and stretch it out to cover the entire inner surface of the pool. They’ll then attach it by securing the built-in liner tack around the outer edges and insert a vacuum nozzle to suction out the air between the liner and the walls of the pool.  Before installing the liner, the building crew will need to mark and cut out holes for the lights, skimmers, and any other fixtures on the pool’s interior.  Vinyl liners are often easy enough to put in yourself, although having the assistance of a professional will ensure that installation is carried out correctly and efficiently. With the construction complete, all that’s left to do is add water! Depending on how eager you are to take your first dip, you could run the water slowly using a hose connected to your home’s water supply, or rent a water truck to top it off in less time.

With the spring compressed, remove the valve keepers and slowly release the valve spring out of compression. Once you can remove the compression tool, remove the valve springs and shims. Keep these components in order. Try not to force it out, which can scratch the guides. For each valve, you need to remove any carbon buildup or dirt from valves and valve head. If possible have the head shot peened or glass beaded at the machine shop, or use Magnaflux or dye penetrant to find any cracks. Note any flatness which is out of specification so that it can be corrected at the machine shop after inspection. Inspect the guides for excess wear using a dial indicator and check for recession of the valve seats. It's also essential to check for:   Worn valve stems. Use a micrometer and replace any valves whose stems exceed specification.  Worn keeper grooves. Replace any worn keepers. Thin margins. Margins should be thinner on intake valves than exhaust valves. Replace valves with excessively thin margins.  Length, tension, and squareness. Replace any springs which are worn beyond specification. Replace the recessed valve seats and reface all valves which are not going to be replaced. Machine the valve seats. Lubricate the valve stems with engine oil. Install valve seals. The valve seals come in 3 different types: band, umbrella, or PC type. Pay attention to the order of assembly. Assemble valve heads. Check for leaks using either a liquid test or a vacuum test, or have them perform this at the machine shop.

With the stereogram image in your hands, identify an item in the room that you can gaze at, such as a photo on the wall, a vase on a table, or a lamp. Even though you’re holding the stereogram, make sure to focus exclusively on the object that you’ve chosen.  The object that you focus on doesn’t necessarily have to be right at eye level, but it’s best not to choose an item that’s too high or low. You should be able to look at it comfortably while standing. Make sure that the item isn't too small either because it may be more difficult to focus on a smaller object. The easier it is to maintain your focus on the item, the better chance you'll have of seeing the stereogram image. While you’re still focusing on your chosen object, you should begin to lift the image until it eventually blocks the item. However, you should still keep your focus on the object, not the stereogram. If you find yourself switching your focus to the stereogram, start the process over again. When the stereogram is blocking the object that you're focusing on, you should be trying to look "through" it. That will keep you from focusing on the stereogram, so your eyes are ready to see the 3D image. While still holding the stereogram so it blocks the object, move closer and further away from it to try a variety of distances. At the right distance, if you keep your gaze focused on the object, the hidden image in the stereogram will appear. The hidden image will likely be blurry at first. Continue looking at it at the same distance until the image eventually becomes sharp and clear.

With the tension on the timing belt relieved, the belt should slide easily off the sprockets. Timing belts that have been used for a long time may stick in the pulley grooves and require some gentle prying with a screwdriver to release. Inspect the timing belt pulleys and water pump for any need to replace before proceeding to install the new belt. Torque the timing belt to the proper specifications, paying special attention to "torquing" specs on the engine manual, particularly the crankshaft pulley mounting bolt which usually has a very high torque spec. If equipped with a hydraulic timing belt tensioner, removal may be required to compress the piston back into the cylinder after a ratchet is released. Place into a vise and compress until holes line up to allow the insertion of a holding pin. Once the pin is in place, the tensioner can be re-installed when the belt is installed with the pin pulled to allow the tensioner to place tension onto the timing belt.

With the vanilla essence in the perfume jar or container, pour in approximately 1 ounce (30 ml) of jojoba oil. There should be double the amount of oil as there is vanilla essence, so you may need to use more or less of the oil, depending on how much essence you wind up with. You can substitute sweet almond oil for the jojoba oil if you prefer. To ensure that the vanilla essence is completely mixed with the oil, place the lid on the jar and shake it gently. The two may separate when you store the perfume oil, so be sure to shake it before each use. Once the oil and vanilla essence are mixed, the perfume oil is ready to use. When you’re not using it, keep the jar in a cool, dark to help preserve it. The perfume oil should be good for approximately 3 to 4 months if stored properly.

With the wire rack sitting at the base of your pressure-canner, sit each of the sealed jars in your pressure canner. Pour over 3 US quarts (2.8 L) of water to fill the bottom of the canner.  The amount of water needed may vary between different pressure-canners. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific pressure-canner for the best results. The jars don't need to be submerged in the water. The water is used to create steam that will build up the pressure needed to can your jars. Once the canner has heated up and is produce steam, you can begin building pressure inside it. Place the 10 pounds (4.5 kg) on the top of your canner, or set the dial gauge on the canner to 11 to build up the pressure. Start a timer and leave the green beans to cook for 20 minutes.  The way you specific pressure will vary between different pressure-canners. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific canner in order to be safe. The amount of pressure needed will increase if you’re at a higher altitude. If you’re more than  1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, use a 15 pounds (6.8 kg) weight instead. Once the jars have been given time to cool, write the date on the lid and store them in your pantry until they’re ready to be used. Green beans should easily last 3 to 5 years if kept in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Once opened, store the green beans in the fridge and use within 1 week.  Before storing them, press down on the lid to make sure your green beans are properly sealed. If the lid moves at all, you will need to pour the green beans into a sterilized jar. Use a new lid and repeat the process to try and seal the jar again. You can remove the jar rings before you put the beans in storage. If you choose not to, loosen the rings slightly so that they don’t rust in place.

With this done, you won't waste time in the morning or feel rushed. If your school doesn't have a uniform, choose an outfit that is clean, neat and suits your personality. Your friends may be helpful if you're uncertain what to choose. You will probably already have a school stationery list; this should have been sorted by now. All you'll need to do is pack these things into your bag. Also add your bus/train pass (if you need it), your ID (if you have it yet), spare change, your cell phone (if allowed/have one), your contact numbers for emergencies, sanitary ware for girls, medication, etc.  Keep a kit for emergencies. Sort your school supplies. Your school will have either provided you with a list of supplies to purchase, but some schools give supplies to the students. Will you be making it or taking it? If making it, what can you make now and what needs to be made in the morning? Sandwiches need to be made just before you go, or else they'll go all soggy but cookies, a piece of fruit, a drink and some snacks can usually be packed the night before, in readiness. If buying lunch, ask your parents or guardians for the money now, to save rushing in the morning. If not, leave this until the next morning.

With this technique, there’s no need to scrape first. Simply freeze the pipe and let the resin harden and dry out.  Don’t leave your pipe in the freezer longer than thirty minutes. Some cheaper glass pipes could break when exposed to extreme cold. Set an alarm so you don’t forget about your pipe in the freezer. After thirty minutes, take the pipe out of the freezer and scrape out the dried resin. Work quickly, because it won’t take long for the resin to gum up again and become sticky. The resin will be hardened to a dry, sand-like texture, so you’ll want something disposable below the pipe to catch the resin as it falls. The freezing method is likely not a method you should use weekly because of the harsh temperature change. Use it once monthly as needed for a deep cleaning.

Put the dirty pipe in the freezer for thirty minutes. Use a needle or scraping tool to scrape the resin out of the pipe. Work over a piece of paper or plastic to clean up the mess easily. Use this method for monthly deep cleaning only.


With this tip, you need a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly. You will be able to see the concealer somewhat through the final coat. Dab the concealer on the brush. Place the brush over your zit, and twist it back and forth to rub the concealer into every part of the zit. Use your finger to rub the concealer in. Concentrate on the corners to make sure the outside edge isn't actually an edge; it should blend into your skin. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone. Cover your whole face in the foundation. However, don't go over the pimple; just go up to the edge. Apply powder over just the pimple. Use your finger to pick up some powder (that matches your skin tone), and dab it over the pimple area. The powder will help set it.

With this type of timeshare, you buy a certain time period each year in the vacation unit. You are actually part owner of the property, so you can rent it or even include it in your will to pass on to someone else. The downside is you can only use the unit at the specified time each year, unless you are able to trade with another timeshare holder. In this case, you buy a certain amount of time in a unit, such as the right to use it for 10 weeks a year for 10 years. You don't own the property (the resort does), but you do own the interest in the property.  This type of timeshare can be set up in a few ways. You might buy a specific time period each year, or you may buy the right to a certain amount of time each year. You might also buy points that can be exchanged for staying at different resorts withing a group of resorts. Generally, this type of timeshare is specified for a certain number of years. While flexible options are nice, you still need to plan ahead, as rooms fill up quickly. " When it comes to timeshares, "used" refers to buying a timeshare from another buyer, rather than from the resort. "New" refers to buying directly from the resort.  Buying new is more expensive, but you're less likely to get scammed. Plus, you know the title is clean without any liens on it. A lien is when a creditor has the right to sell the property if the payment is not met; often, a owner doesn't have the right to sell a property with a lien on it without first talking to the creditor. You may also get added benefits, such as being able to trade dates. Buying used can be much cheaper, as some people are desperate to unload their timeshares. You may even find timeshares as cheap as $1 USD. These deals may be perfectly above board, but you do need to do your homework first. Timeshares are not good as an investment option because they generally depreciate in value. If you're looking for a real estate investment, it's best to pick another option.

Choose deeded ownership to own part of the unit. Pick the "right-to-use" option for more flexibility. Pick between new and "used. Don't buy a timeshare as an investment.


With time, a car's air conditioner vents build up dirt and debris that can cause an unpleasant smell in your car. Make sure to treat the AC while deodorizing your car. Buy an AC cleaner made for cars at a local hardware store. Spritz down the vents of the car's air conditioning system with the cleaner. This will help reduce bad smells.

Then, use a scrub brush or other cleaning tool to scrub out the vinegar mixture. This should leave the car smelling significantly fresher. Pet deodorizers are made with specific enzymes that are designed to lift and eliminate pet odors. Brands of pet deodorizers vary in how they are used, but most of them are spritzed onto a stain and left to sit for a specific time period. You then rinse the pet deodorizer out. Make sure to test any pet deodorizer you're using on a small, unnoticeable area in your car first to make sure it doesn't cause a stain or damage your car. Baking soda can work for a wide variety odors as it naturally lifts scents. All you have to do is sprinkle baking soda over areas in your car that smell. Let the baking soda sit for a few hours or overnight and then vacuum it up. Place seven ounces of coffee beans in a container and leave the container in your car. If you let the beans sit in your car, they should absorb some odor. You can also use coffee grounds, but these may spill and cause mess.

With today's widespread and affordable technology, it's simple and convenient to measure your vital signs at home and not make unnecessary appointments with your doctor. Blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and even blood sugar (glucose) levels can readily be measured at home with electronic devices made for personal use. If your vitals are not within normal ranges, then a doctor visit may be warranted, but if your numbers are good then medical attention is likely unnecessary. Ask your doctor what the most appropriate ranges are for your vital signs — be aware they can change with age.  Home medical devices can be widely found at pharmacies, medical supply stores and rehabilitation facilities. Measuring your cholesterol levels at home is also possible. A number of years ago, the cholesterol kits weren't very accurate, but now they are very close in accuracy to standard lab tests (about 95% accurate). Blood and urine can be analyzed with special dip sticks that are designed to turn different colors in reaction to certain compounds or parameters. Although medications are obviously helpful to reduce symptoms such as pain and inflammation — and some are truly life saving — all of them create side effects. Drugs that are known to create numerous side effects in a high proportion of users are statins (prescribed for high cholesterol) and antihypertensives (for high blood pressure). Over-medicating and even closely following directions for these drugs commonly lead to other symptoms and additional doctor visits. Ask your doctor about the risk of side effects for all prescriptions she recommends. Consider also researching alternative remedies (plant-based) for certain conditions, which can cause fewer and less serious side effects (though these remedies are often lacking scientific study or verification that they actually work).  Statins commonly cause muscle pain, liver problems, digestive issues, skin rashes, flushing, memory loss and confusion.  Herbal remedies that may help lower cholesterol levels include...

With whiskeys, you don't want to rush the distillation; heat up the still on medium heat over the course of 30 minutes to an hour until it just begins to boil. Heating the wash too quickly will result in burnt wash and off flavors. The temperature zone in which you'll distill your alcohol will be between 172° and 212° F (78° and 100° C). Why this temperature? Alcohol and water have different evaporation points. Alcohol begins to evaporate at 172° F, whereas water doesn't begin to evaporate until 212° F. So if you can heat the wash up to at least 172° F but no more than 212° F, the evaporated liquid in the still will be alcohol and not water. The condensing tube takes the evaporated alcohol and cools it quickly, turning it back into liquid form. Slowly, the condensing tube should begin to spit out liquid. The heads are a mixture of volatile compounds that evaporate from the wash and should not be consumed. They include methanol, which is lethal in large quantities. Luckily, the heads come out of the wash first. For a 5 gallon (18.9 L) wash, prepare to throw out the first 50 - 100 mL of condensed liquid just to be safe. After the heads is collected and dumped, you're ready to collect the good stuff. When the thermometer on the condensing tube hits 175º - 185º F (80º - 85º C), you're starting to collect the valuable prize — moonshine. This is also referred to as the "body" of the distillate. Continue collecting the body until the thermometer on the condensing tube begins reading 205º F (96º C). At this point, the evaporated liquids you start distilling are fusel oils, which should be thrown away. Allow your distilled moonshine to cool off as well.

Heat the wash in the still slowly, until it just reaches a boil. Turn on the condensing tube after the wash hits 120º - 140º F (50º - 60º C). Throw out the heads. Collect the body in 500 mL batches. Throw out the tails. Turn off the heat source and let the pot still cool down completely.


With your bold sequined dress, you don’t want to use any bright or daring colors on your face. Instead, use a neutral palette to enhance your features without looking like a Vegas showgirl. For eyeshadow, stick to colors like tan, brown, gray, or black. For your lips, stick to a nude or soft pink. Add color to your pout with a neutral lipstick, but don’t stop there. Add a layer of gloss over your lipstick to get a little bit of shine that will complement your sequined dress beautifully. The shimmer from your lips will brighten up your entire face and add a bit of festivity to your otherwise neutral makeup look. Nothing pairs better with a sparkling dress than healthy, glowing skin. Add a bit of blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then, dust your favorite bronzer on your cheekbones and along the top of your forehead. This will give your complexion a sun-kissed glow, which will work well with your vibrant ensemble. Don’t forget to brush bronzer onto your neck and chest so that all of your exposed skin matches!

With your elbow on a table and your hand pointing up, pull each of your fingers gently back toward your wrist. Hold each finger for 15 to 30 seconds to receive a proper stretch. Before playing, use flexor stretching as a warm up to loosen the muscles in each of your individual fingers. In order to strengthen each finger individually, spread your fingers all the way out on a flat surface and gently push down. Relax your hand muscles as much as possible while letting your knuckles bend naturally. These small contractions and expansions of the muscles will help make small, helpful tears in the muscle tissue. Over time, these small muscle tears will help strengthen these muscles and make them more flexible. To improve finger independence and knuckle strength, purchase a grip strengthening device and use it before and after practice. These cheap devices will improve your strength over time and can be used anywhere, such as while watching television or while taking a walk. You can buy hand strengthening devices specifically for your fingers for less than $10 at online retailers like amazon.com. With your palm laying flat on a table, squeeze your fingers together as tightly as possible for roughly 30 seconds. Then, keeping your palm on the table, spread your fingers apart, as wide as you can, for another thirty seconds. Repeat this exercise once or twice daily to improve flexibility. Holding a newspaper or piece of paper between your thumb and all four fingers, extend your hand in front of you and crumple the paper into a ball using only your fingers. This exercise will strengthen your hand muscles over time. Focus on crumpling the paper as fast as possible for better results.

With your lips closed and relaxed, blow air through them gently. Do this until your lips begin to trill. Practice this for ten seconds. Repeat the exercise two to three more times. To make the exercise harder, add a pitch, like an “uh” sound, as your lips are trilling. Do this for five seconds. The addition of the pitch should create a tickling sensation around your nose, mouth, cheeks and forehead. This is also called solfège.  Beginning on the middle C, sing, “Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do” up and down the scale. As you solfège, really listen to each pitch. Repeat this exercise five times. Imagine the sound a fire engine makes as it passes by. Starting at low range, make the sound with “Ooooo” and “Eeeeee.” As you make the siren sound, go up and down your vocal range for five to eight seconds. Repeat this exercise two to three more times, starting higher each time. If you are unable to hit the high and low notes, then your voice is fatigued. Stop the exercise and let your voice rest for five minutes. ” Starting low, sing this slowly using a monotone voice. Repeat this exercise five times, starting higher each time.  To make this exercise harder, try to sing them all in one breath. Try to not push your voice. Your voice should be relaxed while doing this exercise. ” Make the “Ng” sound as in the word lung. You should feel the back of your tongue and the soft palate at the roof of your mouth come together. Hold this sound for ten seconds. Repeat this exercise two to three more times. Pick one of your favorite songs, or a simple song like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Depending on the length of the song, hum the song to yourself two to three times. This exercise will help loosen and relax your vocal muscles. If not daily, then five times per week. Additionally, make sure to reserve 30 to 45 minutes before a performance to do these exercises.

With your other hand, carefully insert the thermometer into the rectum, only one-half to one inch. 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm).  The thermometer should be pointed toward the person’s belly button. Stop if you feel any resistance. Use the other hand to comfort the patient and prevent them from moving around. It is important the patient remain still while the thermometer is inserted so they don't get hurt during the procedure.  If the patient moves around too much, it may cause an inaccurate reading or injury to the rectum. Never leave a baby or an older patient unattended with a thermometer inside the rectum. Read the temperature and record it. Temperatures taken rectally generally read as 0.5 - 1 degree F (0.3-0.6 C) higher than temperatures taken orally. As you remove the thermometer, be sure the disposable sleeve is removed from the patient's rectum, if you used one on the thermometer. Use soapy water or apply rubbing alcohol to the thermometer.
