Swedish goggles are an older style of water eyewear that are still popular with many swimmers. They feature eye cups molded out of hard plastic, with lenses that offer UV protection for outdoor swimming. Most pairs also have an adjustable nose strap that joins the eyecups together.  A 2-pack of Swedish goggles only costs about $15 USD on average, making them a more economical option if you’re not set on using top-of-the-line equipment. Swedish goggles have to be assembled prior to their first use. For this reason, they may be a little too complicated for small children.  One downside of Swedish goggles is that the hard plastic used in their construction makes them slightly less comfortable for prolonged wear. Racing goggles are made from lightweight, hydrodynamic materials and offer a perfect watertight seal every time. This emphasis on comfort will allow you to focus solely on swimming. As an added bonus, they come in an array shapes and sizes, so you’ll always be able to find a pair to fit your face.  A good pair of racing goggles can run you up to $50 USD, but keep in mind that when it comes to specialty sports equipment, you get what you pay for. Since they’re smaller than ordinary goggles, racing goggles may put more pressure on the eye sockets when used for long swimming sessions. Goggles with darkened lenses are the swimmer’s equivalent of sunglasses. Since they typically offer UV protection and an anti-fog coating, they’re useful for blocking out sunlight on bright days. If you tend to most of your swimming outdoors in the morning or afternoon, tinted lenses may be a smart choice.  You should be able to buy goggles with tinted lenses anywhere that swimming equipment and accessories are sold. Like sunglasses, darkened goggles aren’t meant for indoor use. Wearing them inside may make it harder to see your mark, the lane dividers, or other swimmers. Colored lenses let in varying amounts of light, which makes them well-suited for a wide range of conditions. Amber and yellow lenses, for example, are...

Sweep or blow away all the dirt and debris from the concrete steps. Also, make sure to cover up any nearby plants with a plastic covering like a tarp or trash bags. Remove toys, decorations, and nearby furniture as well. Mix them together in a plastic bucket until they are well-combined. The temperature of the water should be at least 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius). Alternatively, you can use a specially formulated concrete cleaner instead of the oxygenated bleach and water. You can find these at your local hardware store. Fill a tank sprayer with the solution. Working from the top down, use the tank to spray the steps with the solution, focusing on the stained areas. Once you have covered the whole area, let the solution set for 20 to 30 minutes.  Make sure the concrete steps are soaking wet to prevent the solution from drying up while it is setting. If the solution starts to dry, then just spray more solution onto the steps. You can purchase or rent a tank sprayer from your local hardware store. You can also use a push broom to do this. Working from the top down, scrub the steps until the dirt and grime are completely removed. Use a smaller scrub brush to clean small crevices and corners. Make sure to clean the steps evenly to avoid a patchy look. Fill a gallon bucket with clean, hot water. From the top of the stairs, pour the water down the steps to rinse them clean. Rinse the steps until all of the soap residue, dirt, and grime are removed. If the concrete steps are still dirty, then repeat steps one through five, or use a different method.

Remove debris from the steps. Mix one part hot water to one part oxygenated bleach. Spray the steps with the solution. Scrub the steps with a long handled brush. Rinse the steps with hot water.


Sweet Shrub requires little in the way of maintenance, but you may like to prune it to keep the plant in shape and prevent it from growing too wide. Pruning should be done immediately after flowering, which means in the early summer.  Due to the fact that this plant spreads by producing side shoots known as suckers, you can control the width by pinching these off as they emerge.     Thinning out old growth will usually ensure the new growth comes through more vigorously the following growing season.    Sweet Shrub doesn’t tend to be bothered by disease but root rot can occur in poorly-drained soil. To avoid this, don’t plant the bush where puddles form and don’t easily drain away.  If you observe warty growths on stems close to the ground, this may indicate bacterial crown gall.     The best solution is to remove the plant and surrounding soil to prevent re-infection.    If you need to transplant Sweet Shrub, do it in fall or winter. Take cuttings in July if you wish to quickly reproduce from a parent plant.  To reproduce a plant from suckers, take a rooted sucker and replant it until a proper root system is established before planting on. This is usually the fastest way to get a mature flowering plant. Although it has been eaten as a spice in the past, Sweet Shrub is poisonous in large enough quantities, especially the seed. Don’t confuse it will true Allspice, which is best purchased from the grocery store!

Sweet persimmons are typically tomato-shaped, and often sold under the name Fuyu in the West. If your persimmon does not match this description, read the ID guide above. You won't enjoy it if you follow these instructions with the wrong type of persimmon. Sweet persimmons taste best when firm and crisp. A ripe persimmon is orange or deep orange-red.  A yellow persimmon is edible, but not fully ripe. Do not eat an unripe green persimmon, which will always taste astringent.  You can eat it overripe as well, with a spoon. This tastes different, but you might like it. Rub the persimmon clean under running water. The peel is edible, so wash it thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut off the leaf-like flower and stem. Slice the persimmon into thin wedges or slices, as you would a tomato. The skin is edible and usually thin. If you prefer to peel it, briefly immerse the whole fruit in hot water. Remove with tongs, then peel. This is the same process as blanching tomatoes. A sweet persimmon should be firm and crisp, with a sweet flavor. If there are seeds, remove and discard them.  Try adding lemon juice, or cream and sugar.  For more uses, check out the recipes below.

Confirm the persimmon is sweet. Eat when firm and orange. Wash the persimmon. Cut off the leaves and slice. Eat raw.


Sweet potatoes and yams are forgiving vegetables, so you can cook them at temperatures ranging from 375-450°. This means you can place them in the oven while  you cook other food.

Sweet potatoes come in varied shapes and sizes. For noodles, however, favor longer, thinner ones that are relatively uniform in thickness from end to end. As a model, pick those that most closely resemble zucchinis. The more uniform your sweet potato is in thickness, the more uniform your noodles will be. Expect the flesh of these to be more brittle. This means that it’s more likely to break apart, so steer clear of them in order to avoid noodles that snap in two. Discard any sweet potatoes that:  Have dark spots on the skin.  Have any growths developing on the skin. Feel soft to the touch. Leak moisture and/or feel damp. Remember: you don't want to use overripe sweet potatoes for this, so for the best results, make your noodles right after purchase. Otherwise, expect them to last between three to five weeks when stored in the pantry. So err on the side of caution and make your noodles within the next three weeks. If needed, you can store them in the fridge to make them last longer. Refrigeration should make them last between two and three months.

Pick longer, thinner sweet potatoes. Avoid overripe potatoes. Prepare within the next three weeks at most.


Swelling that doesn’t impede your ability to breathe should respond to at-home treatment. If it doesn’t get better after a few hours or starts to get worse, you should seek medical assistance. The doctor can prescribe a stronger treatment, such as corticosteroids.  You should also see the doctor if you’ve never experienced swelling before. Seek emergency medical care if you’re having trouble breathing, have abnormal breathing sounds, or feel faint. These medications reduce inflammation in your body, which in turn reduces swelling. They’re often used after antihistamines alone have been ineffective at reducing swelling.  For example, your doctor may prescribe prednisone. Corticosteroids can have side effects, including fluid retention that can cause swelling, high blood pressure, weight gain, glaucoma, mood issues, behavioral issues, and memory problems.  For a severe reaction, the doctor may administer corticosteroids via an IV.  Follow all of your doctor’s instructions for taking your medication. to discover your triggers, if necessary. Your doctor may order allergy testing. If this occurs, you’ll visit an allergy specialist. A nurse will scratch your skin with a small amount of various allergens. They’ll then monitor your reaction to each substance to see if you are allergic.  Your specialist will evaluate your test results. Based on this information, the specialist can recommend good treatment options for you, such as avoiding your triggers and possibly getting allergy shots.  A single reaction, especially if it's mild, may not warrant testing or regular treatment. A severe reaction, though, or reactions that occur enough to disrupt your daily life should be tested.

Swim trunks are made out of waterproof material, and they dry very quickly once you hop out of the water. You can choose neutral-colored trunks for a subtle style, or try a bright pair for a summery look. Shades of blue, orange, and green are great choices. Men’s bathing suits are sized based off of your waist measurement. These shorts are made from a quick-drying material, but they may not be completely waterproof. Choose a colorful pair or a boardshort with a cool, summery pattern. If you plan on walking up and down the boardwalk or beach, go with a pair of boardshorts for comfort and style. Swim shirts and rash guards are short-sleeve or long-sleeve, waterproof garments. You may want an extra layer if the water is chilly, especially if you are surfing. They can also help prevent chafing and sunburn.

Select a pair of swimming trunks for a masculine style. Try boardshorts for another quick-drying bathing suit option. Wear a swim shirt or rash guard to keep you covered.


Swimming in natural bodies of water can be fun, but present their own risks. Know what the greatest risks are for the area you are swimming in. If it is available always swim with a lifeguard present. They are trained to look for danger and provide assistance. If you are swimming in the ocean these can be very serious threats. Riptides form when part of the sandbar gives way and water rushes out into the ocean. If you are caught in a riptide swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the pull of the riptide, and then swim diagonally to shore. It will prevent head injuries due to unseen rocks or hazards. You should also test the water's temperature before entering. Even on a warm day a deep lake can be cold enough to induce hypothermia. Moving water has a remarkable ability to overwhelm even the strongest swimmer. If a river appears to be running quickly you need to be very cautious about entering as the current could easily present a hazard. If you find yourself in a fast moving current, float on your back with your feet pointing downstream, and your head pointing up stream. Your feet will absorb any impacts from unexpected obstacles. When the current slows down , swim diagonally to shore.

Know your environment. Swim in front of a lifeguard. Watch out for riptides. Enter fresh water lakes and rivers feet first. Never swim in a high running current.


Swimming is different from other forms of exercise; just because you’re good at running or climbing doesn’t mean that you’ll be instantly good at swimming. If you exhaust yourself you’ll be less likely to swim with proper form and won’t see improvement. Therefore, set realistic expectations for yourself when exercising.  For example, if you’re a beginner, try to do one or two laps in the pool without stopping. If this is too easy, add on a few more laps. If you can’t do a lap without stopping, don’t give up! Do as much as you can using the proper form. HIIT workouts, or High Intensity Interval Training workouts, are an excellent way to burn a lot of calories fast. First, swim a lap or two at a moderate pace. Next, swim one lap as quickly as you can. The goal is to raise your heartrate as much as you can. After you finish the lap, do another lap or two at a moderate pace, allowing your body to relax but keeping your heartrate up.  Repeat this process four or five times at first. As you improve, increase the number of repetitions you do. Most pools have a large clock on the wall for interval training. If you want to time yourself, use this clock. It’s easier to stay motivated when you’re surrounded by other motivated people. Many recreational centers and health clubs have group classes for swimming. This is an excellent option for beginners because it removes the unknown factor. The swimming instructor will help you perfect your form and make sure you’re improving at a good pace.  Many classes can be found online. Do a quick search to see if there’s anything offered in your area. If you can’t find anything online, visit your local recreational center and ask a pool employee for help. It’s better to swim slowly but correctly than to swim quickly and badly. By using the correct technique when you swim you’re building the muscles that allow you to swim quickly. As a beginner your focus should be improvement, not speed.  Feel free to take a break if you need to. However, if you’re sharing a lane with other people,...

Swish the spinach around in the bowl for 1-2 minutes to wash away any dirt or bacteria. Then, hold it under cool running water from your sink and give it a good rinse to make sure it's completely clean. Even if you're pureeing and freezing it, you should always wash raw spinach before you eat it. If you're pureeing a lot of spinach, just put whatever fits into your blender at once. Then, add a splash of water, as this will help the spinach puree more evenly. You can also use a food processor, if you'd like. To make thawing your spinach puree as easy as possible, it's best to portion out just what you think you'll need at a time. To do that, you can divide the puree into snack-size freezer bags or freezer-safe baby food jars, or you can pour the puree into an ice tray to get small cubes. If you freeze the spinach in ice cube trays, wait until it's frozen, then pop out the cubes and transfer them to a freezer bag or another freezer-safe container. That way, you can re-use the trays when you need them. If your freezer stays at 0°F, the spinach will stay safe to eat as long as it's frozen. However, the quality will be best if you eat it within 10-12 months. To thaw the spinach, place it in the refrigerator overnight.  If you'll be using the spinach in a frozen smoothie, there's no need to thaw it first. Just toss it into the blender along with—or in place of—your ice cubes. You can also add frozen cubes of spinach directly to hot soups or other dishes while you're simmering them, since the heat will quickly melt the ice.

Wash your spinach in a bowl of cool water, then rinse it thoroughly. Place the spinach in your blender with about 2 US tbsp (30 mL) of water. Portion the puree into bags, jars, or ice cube trays. Place the spinach into the freezer, where it will keep for about a year.


Swiss Army Knives are made of stainless steel, which is much more water-resistant than regular steel. However, if you get them wet, it's still best to dry them relatively quickly. If you get your knife wet: dry off every tool and the base as fast as you can. Dry it by hand, and then let it sit out to dry more thoroughly. Let it sit open for 10-30 minutes. Place a dollop of lubricating multitool oil on the blade joint when the blade is starting to stiffen. Your manual will tell you how to oil and repair it. . The sharpening technique will differ slightly for straight blades and serrated blades. Use the "straight cut" method for the standard Swiss Army knife.   Straight cut: Sharpen your blade using a whetstone at an angle of 15-20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30-40°. If you are sharpening on a grinding wheel, make sure to cool the metal with plenty of water. This might help avoid high temperatures and damage to the blade. Serrated cut: Hone the blade with a sharpening stone. Pull it across the flat side of the serrated cut at an angle of 15-20°.

Switch off your computer. Trace the connection of your mouse to the CPU or monitor. Carefully remove the cord from the computer port. If your mouse is wireless, simply remove the USB from the port. You can use water or a mild cleaning agent, such as window cleaner. Apply a small amount to the cloth. Aim for damp, not dripping. Wring out any excess moisture. Run the damp cloth over the surface. Focus on any dirt or grime that has accumulated. Apply gently pressure, moving in a back-and-forth motion until the dirt is gone. Look for any buildup of dirt or grime around the wheel area. Gently insert a toothpick between the scroll wheel and the slot it rests in. To avoid breaking the toothpick, don't apply too much pressure. Scrape outward to remove the buildup. Wipe away any excess that falls on the outside of the mouse. You could use your fingernails instead of a toothpick. Use a separate clean cloth for this step. Make sure it's free of lint to avoid new dirt buildup. Rub the exterior of the mouse until it's completely dry. Flip the mouse so that the bottom of it is facing up. Turn the cover counterclockwise and remove it from the mouse. Cup your free hand. Flip the mouse one more time so that the trackball falls into your free hand. Direct it over the surface of the trackball surface and into the trackball well. This will help to loosen any dirt or debris. If you don't have too much buildup, this might take care of the entire cleaning. Use a dry cloth or tissue for this step. Move over the surface of the trackball. Focus on any stubborn dust or grime that the compressed air didn't remove. Study the interior of the mouse for a few seconds. Look for three rollers that control the motion of the trackball. Often, dirt and grime accumulate on these rollers and cause the trackball to stick.You can remove this buildup by:  Wiping it off with the cloth.

Switch the fan on, then pull the cord controlling the fan to ensure that, even if someone flicked the switch on accident, the fan won't start turning while you work on it. If you plan on working on the motor, or want to feel extra secure, flip the circuit breaker so that there is no power in the room you are working on. This, however, will make it difficult to test the fan. Dust, dirt, and debris collecting on the top of the fans can make it off balance, as well as get into the motor or grooves and cause wiggling issues. To clean them:  Take a damp, soapy cloth and wipe down each blade to remove dust. A little dusting solution or a drop of dish soap should be enough. Rinse out the soap and wipe up any suds with a clean, damp cloth. Dry the blades by using a clean towel or paper wipes. This includes the screws holding the blades and any connections between the light and fan. Loose screws on any part of the ceiling fan allow parts to move independently, making the whole thing wobble when the blades get up to speed. The screws should all be hand tight, but don't break your wrist trying to get them extra tight. Once they start resisting your turns, you're good to go. These screws keep the fan attached, and wobbling will be the least of your worries if they get too loose. Undo the screws and slide the canopy down, then hand-tighten any visible screws where the fan meets the ceiling to ensure that the fan is well attached. This small ball fits in a similarly shaped bowl like a bone in a socket. Attached to the ball is the center rod of the fan that keeps everything attached to the ceiling.

Switch your phone to silent and turn off the internet on your computer. Close your door, if you have one, and let others around you know you are not to be disturbed. Block out any loud noises or distractions so you can focus on the freewrite. Some people prefer using a computer as they feel comfortable typing. Others prefer a pen or pencil and paper so they are not tempted to click around on their computer during the freewrite. Choose whatever works best for you. Have the prompt written down in front of you. This will help you think of ideas as you write and act as a guide for the freewrite. Get a stopwatch or use a timer on your cellphone or computer. Freewrites are timed to ensure you stay focused and write. Usually, freewrites are done for 10-15 minutes. You can make the freewrite longer, 15-30 minutes, if you really want to go for it and write for a while. Put your pen to paper or click open a blank document on your computer and set the timer. Then, with the prompt in mind, start writing. Respond to the prompt. Try not to read over what you write or edit it in any way. Simply write, moving forward on the page.  Once the timer goes off, you can stop writing and read what you have written. Avoid doing this during the freewrite, as this will only distract you and force you to stop writing. You can then decide to keep the freewrite and use it to create a new piece or add lines from it to an existing piece. You can also discard it or share it with someone else.

Switching to any new diet or eating pattern will most likely require that you prep your kitchen and re-stock your pantry and refrigerator with new or different types of foods.  Purchase a variety of seafood each week.  Keep frozen seafood, canned tuna or salmon or frozen salmon or tuna burgers on hand as well.  They have a longer shelf life and can be used in a pinch or when fresh seafood isn't available. You might also want to consider purchasing special kitchen tools or equipment.  For example, a fish filleting knife, fish spatula or boning tweezers; however, these aren't necessary for general seafood preparation. Purchase spices or seasonings that complement seafood well.  For example, Old Bay is a mixed seasoning blend designed for fish and shellfish.  It's a quick all-in-one spice that will boost up the flavor of your dishes. In addition, stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains so you have all the food groups to make well-balanced meals. .  If you're busy or on the go, prepping weekly meal plans can help you easily implement a pescetarian diet.  Take an hour or two each week and write out each of your meals.  Then, write up a grocery list of all the items you need to purchase that week.  It'll help keep you on track and minimize the time you spending shopping and looking for items in the store.  Find meals that can be prepared in advanced.  If your weeknights are busy, doing some meal prep on the weekends or during your free time can make weeknight dinners a breeze.

Switching to smaller portions is a quick and easy way to control your calorie intake and consume less sugar. Plus, it’s better to eat 6 small meals rather than 3 large meals. Eating several meals spreads out your carbohydrate and sugar consumption throughout the day. Use smaller dishes to make it look like your portions are larger than they are. For example, a smaller plate will fill up quicker than a large plate, tricking your eye into seeing more food. A high fiber diet helps keep your blood sugar from spiking and dropping. It can also help you feel full. Luckily, diabetes-friendly foods like vegetables and whole grains are also high in fiber!  Great sources of fiber include vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. To meet your daily fiber recommendations, you should eat 21-25 grams of fiber if you’re a woman, or 30-38 grams of fiber if you’re a man. Fill most of your plate with vegetables or legumes, saving a small space for a lean protein. These foods help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Plus, they’re full of nutrients and low on calories!  Great vegetable choices include leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, green beans, cucumber, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, squash, and root vegetables. Legumes include foods like beans, lentils, and nuts. Although you need to watch your carb intake, carbs are still an important part of your diet. You can still eat carbs with every meal as long as you opt for complex carbs, which digest slowly. Because they break down slowly, complex carbs don’t spike your blood sugar as much as simple carbs.  Good carb options include beans, brown rice, whole grain pasta, sweet potatoes, and potatoes with their skin. Simple carbs include things like baked goods, candy, processed foods, and sweetened foods or drinks. Cut these foods out of your diet to help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Get most of your protein from fish, tofu, legumes, and nuts. Fish and plant-based proteins are easier for your body to digest, so they don’t stay in your system for as long. Additionally,...

Choose smaller portions. Eat a high-fiber diet to help manage your blood sugar. Make non-starchy vegetables and legumes the star of your meal. Choose complex carbs over simple carbs. Eat 3 ounces (85 g) of lean protein with each meal. Limit meat consumption because meat impacts your blood sugar longer. Incorporate healthy fats Stop drinking sugary drinks. Drink alcohol only with a meal, if you drink at all.


Switzerland has a number of different types of banks, from large, international banks to smaller, regional banks that only serve a small geographical area. However, the private banks that cater specifically to wealthy and international clients are generally separate banking entities entirely. That is, they are rarely connected to banks offering regular banking services in Switzerland. Private banks can either be located through an online search for "private Swiss bank" or through a banking broker. A few of the more well-known of these banks are:  Pictet Private Banking. SwissPartners. Vontobel Private Banking. UBS Private Banking. Swiss private bank accounts are intended for wealthy clients, and their initial required deposits reflect that. For many of these banks, depositors must have an initial deposit of up to 1 million Swiss Francs (about 1.05M USD). However, some of them allow deposits of lower amounts, like 250,000 Swiss Francs. Check with each bank to inquire about these limits. To open a Swiss account, you will need documents proving your identity and the source of your funds. Obviously, you will also need your initial deposit, in the form of a wire transfer, check, or cash (if the bank will allow it). Specifically, you'll need to gather:  A valid passport. Some document verifying your address. A way to prove the legitimacy of the source of your deposit (financial statements, inheritance documents, etc.) Identification for beneficiaries of the account. Other documents as requested by the bank. For many private banks, you will have to travel to Switzerland and meet with a private banker to set up your account. Some Swiss banks allows online account signups or mail-order ones, but the vast majority of the private banks require either an in-person meeting or working through an intermediary, like a financial services company or law firm. Once you have made contact with the bank, a Swiss private banker will talk you through the procedure of opening an account.

Swollen gums can be quite painful and may even trigger severe pain from the nerves in your jawbone. To reduce the pain before seeing a dentist, take over-the-counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen pills.  Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the medication bottle. Also, talk with your doctor if you are taking other medication that might interfere or react badly with pain meds. Get small plastic bag and fill it up with ice cubes. Wrap a clean washcloth around the bag and place this pack against the side of your mouth. You can also use a prepackaged cold compress that you’ve placed in the freezer. Keep the pack or compress against your face for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time. You can repeat this process throughout the day, if your pain flares up. Put a banana or a handful of grapes into the freezer. Chew on them when you need a quick snack and your gums are swollen. You can also try sucking on a popsicle or eating ice cream. Any kind of cold food will help to reduce the swelling temporarily and may provide some pain relief, too.  Brush your teeth after eating, especially if you choose sugary cold foods. This will help prevent the problem from worsening. Cold foods may not help you if you're sensitive to cold. Get an over-the-counter gel or paste that contains around 20% benzocaine. Apply this medicine to your gums as needed. It’s not a good idea to use benzocaine as a long term solution, though, as it will only provide temporary pain relief. Fill a glass with warm water. Stir in ½ to 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of salt with a spoon. Take a sip from the glass, and swish and gargle for 30 seconds. Then spit the salt water out into the sink. You can repeat this process up to 3 times per day. The salt helps to reduce the bad bacteria in your mouth. In a small dish, mix 2 drops of clove essential oil and ½ teaspoon olive oil. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture. Then, rub the cotton ball on your gums for 3-4 minutes or until the pain begins to lessen. Clove oil may have anti-inflammatory properties. Get 1 small...

Symbolically, the Leo sign is associated with the lion. Like the lion, they feel they are the kings/queens of their domain. A Leo will react positively if you express loyalty and adoration. Along with your apology, lavish them with attention and pamper them.   Leos don’t like to be unhappy, and they are quick to forgive when the apology is done right. Offering a small, thoughtful gift along with your apology might also be effective. Since Leos like to be lavished with attention, an apology might be more effective if you work in a few sincere compliments. Leos love the attention and they never tire of hearing good things about themselves. It might feel a little over-the-top or strange to couple an apology with compliments, but give it a try.  Example: “I really look up to you because of how hard-working you are. I’m really sorry that I didn’t finish my part of the project, and I understand why it would upset you.” Example: “I know how much you value friendship – it’s one of my favorite things about you. Anyone would be upset if their best friend forgot their birthday, but I know it’s especially hurtful to you and I’m very sorry.” Leos have a flair for the dramatic and they want to be the center of attention. If you’ve upset a Leo, be prepared to give them your complete attention. Allow them the chance to fully explain their thoughts and feelings about the matter. Don’t interrupt them. If they clam up at first, encourage them to open up. It won’t take much.  Example: “I’m know I’ve upset you and I’m very sorry. Can you tell me how you’re feeling about this situation?” Example: “Please tell me exactly what you’re thinking and feeling – I know that I’ve offended you, and I want to make sure I never repeat this same mistake.” When a Leo feels hurt, they will make sure you know it. It's best to take them aside for an earnest and private conversation. Explain that you are sincerely sorry, and that you'll be more careful with their feelings. Look them directly in the eye during the apology. Speak in a serious tone....

Symptoms begin almost immediately after you’ve contracted the virus. Signs of the common cold include runny nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, slight body ache, mild temperature, and mild fatigue. If you want to have a chance of curing your cold fast, you need to act fast. After the first 12 hours of your cold, it will have spread enough to last for days. You must fortify your body’s defenses. Use a cough suppressant only if you have a dry cough. Cough suppressants include dextromethorphan and codeine. However, you may need a prescription for codeine. Side-effects can include drowsiness and constipation. Dextromethorphan is available as a tablet or syrup and can come in combination with an expectorant. If you have a 'chesty' cough and are coughing up any mucus, do not take a cough suppressant, as this could increase the chances of developing a chest infection. Instead, ask the pharmacist for an 'expectorant' cough syrup. Nasal decongestants — either liquid or pill form — help shrink blood vessels in the nasal membranes and allow the nasal passages to open up, giving you fast relief. However, you should avoid oral decongestants if you have heart issues or hypertension, and only use decongestants with a doctor’s direction if you have diabetes, thyroid problems, glaucoma, or prostate issues. Side effects of decongestants include insomnia (sleeping problems), dizziness, and increased blood pressure. An expectorant is a form of over-the-counter medication which clears the sinuses by thinning mucus and loosening phlegm that may have settled in your lungs. This will allow you to breathe easier and leave you more comfortable.  Expectorants are available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. They are usually taken in liquid form, but they can also be found as tablets and powders. Currently, the only over-the-counter expectorant available is guaifenesin. Look for this active ingredient when searching for medications. Mucinex is the most common brand name guaifenesin-containing medicine sold in pharmacies.  Be...

Symptoms for chronic fatigue often come and go. When you have a number of the following symptoms for extended period of time, such as greater than six months, and seems to be worsening, you need to be evaluated by a physician. Symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) include:    You feel tired for more than 24 hours after exertion. Notice if you are excessively tired for long periods of time after exerting yourself through intensive physical or mental activities. This is an important symptom to notice, as most of the time, exercise should leave you feeling energized, not fatigued. You feel unrefreshed after sleep. Sleep should make you feel better. If you don’t feel better after sleep or suffer from insomnia, you may be suffering from CFS. You lack short-term memory. You may easily misplace things or forget what someone has just told you. You also may experience general confusion or have trouble concentrating. You suffer from muscle pain. You may experience soreness or muscle weakness not due to exertion.   You experience joint pain. Your joints may hurt even though you do not have swelling or redness. You have mild to severe headaches. These headaches differ from those you’ve had in the past and you can find no cause for them. You feel enlarged lymph nodes in your neck or armpits. Swollen glands mean your body is fighting illness or an infection.   You have a sore throat. Your throat may be sore, but is not linked to other cold or flu-like symptoms. Your chronic fatigue may be linked to changes in your lifestyle. Consider any recent changes in your life.  If you’ve recently had a viral infection, this may be a sign of CFS. Viral infections can be triggers for chronic fatigue. Problems with the immune system can also lead to chronic fatigue. Remember if you’ve had any recent issues with your immune system. Low blood pressure is often found in CFS patients. Monitor your blood pressure to see if it falls within the normal range. Make sure it’s not due to injury or excessive exertion, but daily pain not linked...

Symptoms of depression can include unexplained aches and pains or bodily discomfort. Other symptoms can include headaches, back pain, and stomach pain. While these symptoms often do not have a medical cause, they can be symptoms of depression.  While symptoms may be medically unexplained, it’s important to look into the motivation of the pains or discomfort. These aches and pains may be manifestations of the feelings of depression, and the individual may show other symptoms of depression, such as low mood or energy, changes in appetite or sleep, and difficulty concentrating. If it appears to be attention-seeking behavior, it may be factitious disorder. For more information on depression, check out How to Tell if You Are Depressed. Obsessive compulsive disorder can include unexplained medical symptoms, such as being convinced one is dying or suffering a heart attack or another severe disorder. A person may become obsessed with the idea that they are sick and needs treatment, and may demand medical tests and treatment. These obsessive thoughts may also have a compulsive component, like ritualistic cleansing or showering, repeatedly undergoing tests, or praying excessively.  A person with OCD actively wants to get rid of the perceived medical disorder, which causes extreme stress. Like people with factitious disorder, they may be adamant that they are suffering from an illness or disease, and may be frustrated when medical professionals do not take the symptoms seriously. Unlike people diagnosed with factitious disorder, they want the symptoms to go away and do not perceive positive reinforcement from being medically treated. For more information on OCD, check out How to Know if You Have OCD. Some symptoms of anxiety can manifest physically, such as shallow breathing/shortness of breath, stomach upset, dizziness, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, tremors or twitches, and frequent urination.

Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the sides, back, groin, or lower abdomen, as well as pain while urinating, cloudy urine, and the inability to urinate or blood in your urine. See your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to come up with the proper treatment plan. Doctors diagnose kidney stones using blood and urine tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. Tests and imaging scans can let them know what kind of stones you have, how large they are, and whether they're small enough to pass on their own. Water flushes your kidneys and can help the stones pass. Check your urine to monitor your fluid intake. If your urine is pale yellow, you're drinking enough water. If it's dark, you're dehydrated.  Staying hydrated can help prevent future stones from forming, so drinking plenty of water every day is essential. Water is best, but you can also drink ginger ale and some types of 100% fruit juice in moderation. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, which can increase the risk of kidney stones.  Avoid caffeine or limit your consumption, as it can lead to dehydration. Try to drink no more than 1  c (240 mL) of caffeinated coffee, tea, or cola per day. While most kidney stones go away without medical treatment, passing them is still a painful process. To manage pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Check the label, and use your medication as directed.  If over-the-counter pain relievers aren't effective, ask your doctor for a prescription medication. If necessary, they'll give you a prescription-strength pain reliever (such as ibuprofen) or, in some cases, prescribe a narcotic pain reliever.  Be sure to take any prescription medication according to your doctor's instructions. Alpha-blockers relax muscles in the urinary tract and can make it easier to pass kidney stones. They're available by prescription and, typically, should be taken 30 minutes after a meal at the same time daily. Side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, diarrhea, and...

Ask your doctor if they recommend an alpha-blocker. Attempt to collect a stone, if your doctor advises. Allow at least a few weeks for kidney stones to pass.


Symptoms of leptospirosis can vary and can look like symptoms associated with other infections or illnesses. If you develop flu-like symptoms suddenly, don’t assume it is flu if there is the possibility of exposure. Leptospirosis generally presents with flu-like symptoms including fever, myalgia, rigor, and headache. A high fever and chills can indicate infection because your body is trying to fight off the infection. If you feel excessively warm suddenly, or have chills, take your temperature and call your doctor. Some people experience symptoms of light sensitivity and headache with this kind of infection. If you develop a painful reaction to light or intense headaches along with other symptoms, get medical attention. Muscle aches are a common symptom of infection too. Because muscle aches are symptoms of fever or flu as well as leptospirosis, review your recent activities before deciding these are merely flu symptoms. You may feel nausea with or without vomiting or diarrhea. Let your doctor know about any sudden stomach problems. Jaundice may appear later as the infection progresses, and can indicate serious liver problems. Jaundice will typically appear 4-5 days after exposure, so review activities during that time period to assess exposure risks. Pain in the right upper abdominal area is a symptom of second phase infection. Often leptospirosis can develop into chronic renal disease. If you develop pain in this area, see a doctor right away. Sudden rash that is dark red to purple in color is symptomatic of infection. A rash that is concentrated on the lower body or palette of the mouth is specifically associated with this kind of infection.

Symptoms usually start when a hedgehog is between the ages of one year and 36 months old. If you notice any of the following symptoms, your hedgehog may have Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome:  Swaying and instability while standing still Tremors Regularly falling to one side Seizures Weakening muscles Partial paralysis of some limbs Muscle atrophy Slow progressive weight loss If you don't already have a vet, you should find one as soon as you notice symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Hedgehogs are considered exotic pets, so you'll need to find a vet in your region that treats exotic animals. You can look for a vet online or search the local yellow pages. Pet stores that sell exotic pets or hedgehog breeders often offer vet recommendations. If you're still in contact with the store or breeder where you bought your hedgehog, reach out to them for recommendations. The symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome can be caused by other neurological problems. However, keep in mind that a definitive diagnosis can only be confirmed using a necropsy after death. Your vet will likely need to take x-rays and conduct blood work to rule out other issues and get a working diagnosis. It's never easy to hear your pet has a terminal condition. The more information you know about the progression of the disease, the better. Talk to your vet about your hedgehog's life expectancy and ask what you can do to slow the progression of symptoms. Your vet may have specific recommendations for your hedgehog's diet and habitat depending on the stage of its illness.

Symptoms:  Cattle with acute acidosis may go into shock and die suddenly due to a result of overwhelming increase in acidity in the rumen. Those that do not die quickly are listless and often lethargic, and wander aimlessly around the pen, or just simply don't get up from lying down.  They also often appear weak and anorexic and dehydrated. Related health problems may occur from an animal having acute acidosis. Rumen lining may be damaged from the sudden drop in acidity leaving the lining of the stomach to be damaged, causing rumenitis, or an infection of the rumen wall.  Inflammation also occurs in the abomasum and intestinal walls, often destroy the villi that are responsible for nutrient absorption from the digesta. Poor feed efficiency, slow growth, poor weight gain or a drop in milk production is often a result of this inflammatory damage.  Occasionally acidosis is responsible for a suppressed immune system which may prevent an animal's ability to ward off infection from airborne or communicable viruses or bacteria. Founder (also called Laminitis) and bloat are also a result of this metabolic disorder.  Founder often leaves cattle permanently lame.  This is a serious case for young bulls that are being feed-tested prior to sale, more so than in dairy cows or feedlot steers/heifers. Bloat is a serious disorder that disables a bovine to release any gases that have built up in the rumen.  The rumen can engorge so much that it crushes the lungs and eventually asphyxiates cattle if not treated immediately.   Liver abscesses are also common in cattle that had acidosis.  Reduced feed intake, feed efficiency, weight gain and carcass yield is often a result of abscesses in the liver. Liver abscesses often cannot be seen until the animal is slaughtered.  Abscessed livers are condemned at slaughter, because they are not deemed safe for humans to eat.  Polioencephalomalacia (not related to the paralyzing human version of polio) is also a concern for cattle that have had acidosis. Thiamine is often a highly...

Synthetic fur is slippery, silky, and even feels fake. Real UGG boots use fur that is a bit rougher to the touch. The fur should be a creamy color with a thick texture. Counterfeit boots have grey-colored, thin, synthetic fur on the inside that cannot be seen from the top opening. There is a layer of foam between the inner and outer lining of the boot. Real UGG boots are easy to bend and walk in, while fake ones are stiff and unyielding. Gently try to move the sole of your boot to see how flexible it is; if it is difficult to move, the boots may be fake. Check the foil strip on the label behind the shoe size and the materials label on the left boot. If there isn’t a sewn-in-label, there should be a security sticker on the sole of the left shoe. Turn your boot over to see the holographic UGG label with a sun symbol. If the boots are real, when you turn the boot 90 degrees, it will change from black to white.

Synthetic materials like nylon and polyester keep in moisture and heat around your genital area, creating an environment that’s good for harmful bacteria and yeast. To prevent this, opt for more breathable cotton underwear, and change into a fresh pair daily (or more often, if your underwear gets damp or sweaty).  Avoid thongs and tight-fitting leggings or pants, since these can trap heat and moisture and irritate your vulva.  Try sleeping without underwear or wearing loose cotton boxers at night. New underwear may have harsh dyes or chemical residues that can irritate your vulva and vagina. Always wash your underwear before wearing it for the first time. When you wash your underwear, use a mild, unscented detergent. You can also use an extra rinse cycle to make sure all the detergent is rinsed out. Whenever you use the toilet, gently wipe from front to back—even if you’ve only urinated. Wiping from back to front can move bacteria from your anal area into your vagina or urethra, putting you at risk of developing a vaginal or urinary tract infection. Avoid toilet papers that contain perfumes, dyes, or lotions, since these can irritate your vulva and vagina. Stick to plain white paper. Doctors don’t recommend using wet wipes—even unscented ones—to wipe yourself. If you have trouble getting fresh and clean after a bowel movement, you can make wiping easier by adding a little mineral oil or unscented soap (such as Dove or Cetaphil body wash) to your toilet paper. Rinse off with a little water when you’re done, and pat yourself dry. Studies show that using feminine wipes can not only cause pain and irritation, but may significantly increase your chances of getting a urinary tract infection. After you swim or exercise, change out of your wet clothing right away and dry yourself off thoroughly. Staying in wet or sweaty clothing can promote the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast in and around your vagina. It’s also a good idea to shower as soon as you can after exercising or swimming to wash away sweat, grime, or...

Synthetic saltwater mixes simulate the mix of chemicals that occur naturally in the ocean. You can purchase a large container of salt mix online or from stores that specialize in marine life. Don’t use table salt. Table salt only contains sodium rather than the necessary mix of chemicals. Use distilled water since tap water could contain silicates that create algae and dirty your tank. Make sure the bucket is not filled to the top since adding salt will raise the water level. If you do not have marine life yet, you can mix the water directly in the tank. After you add fish or coral, you need to mix saltwater in a separate container. Each salt mix will have a different ratio of cups per gallon. A good baseline is ½ cup (150 g) per 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. Follow the instructions carefully if they are different. As you add the mix, stir it with a wooden spoon to help it dissolve faster. Purchase a hydrometer online or from a store specializing in saltwater aquariums. Dip the hydrometer in the water until it fills up. Tap it on a level surface and let it rest for 10 seconds. Look where the arrow is pointing to determine the specific gravity.  If the specific gravity reads lower than 1.025, add ½ cup (150 g) of the salt mix and test the water again. If it reads higher, add 1⁄4 US gal (0.95 L) of distilled water. Specific gravity measures the density of the water compared to pure water. It is an indirect measurement of salinity that hydrometers read. Position the pump so it creates turbulence and movement on the surface of the water. This helps the water aerate. Then drop the heater in the water, making sure the thermostat is set to the same temperature as your aquarium, which should be 70–80 °F (21–27 °C). Keep the pump and heater running throughout the night for at least 6 hours. This gives enough time for the salt mix to completely dissolve and reach the correct temperature. Cover the bucket with a lid so contaminants don't fall into the water. Use the hydrometer to see if the specific gravity has changed....

Syrian hamsters are good pets, partially because they are solitary animals, but they can be quite hard to breed. If the male and female are introduced at the wrong time, they may fight. Dwarf hamsters are thought to be nippy with humans, but are more social with each other, and can actually be easier to breed. There are also Russian hamsters, winter white hamsters, and other varieties. If you're buying from a breeder, talk about the different varieties and discover whether they are social or not, to have some sense of the breeding process. It's best to get your breeding hamsters from a breeder, so you have a wide selection of colours and types. It's also good to know the breeding history of the hamsters. At a pet shop, you will often find siblings or hybrid breed hamsters that are less desirable for breeding. Also, pet store workers often have a difficult time telling the difference between males and females. Make sure that their eyes are clear and bright, their fur is smooth and glossy, and that they look active and interested in their surroundings. Plastic bin cages or aquariums are a massive advantage in breeding. Put one hamster in each cage and fill the bottom with wood shavings, megazorb, or carefresh. Try to avoid sawdust, as this gets into hamsters' eyes and can affect their breathing.  Avoid wire cages. Hamsters, especially newborn ones, can squeeze out through them. Get a small plastic or preferably wood "hamster home" for your hamster to huddle in. Fill it with some of the same shavings as in the cage. A hamster wheel is also a must for the habitat. For dwarf hamsters the size can be almost any size, as long as they are able to use it, but for Syrians it must be more than 8 inches (20.3 cm), and it should be plastic, not wire, as holes in these wheels are very likely to harm your hamster.

Syringes are categorized by how their parts work and how they are designed to function. Common syringes most recently used in clinical practice are called luer-lok syringes. Luer-lok describes the type of locking mechanism built into the tip of the syringe. The mechanism works by securely holding luer-lok needles once they are twisted in place. Using this type of syringe requires an added step in assembly. The added step is to secure the needle to the syringe, prior to drawing up the medication. Examples of syringe types that are designed for a certain purpose or function include an insulin syringe, tuberculin syringe, and safety syringe.  Insulin syringes are intended only for giving insulin. The barrel is graduated in units instead of mls. Tuberculin syringes are used when you need to give a very small dose of a medication, such as 0.5mls. A safety syringe is an all-in-one unit. That means that the syringe has a pre-attached needle, so the added step of attaching the needle by hand is not needed.  A safety syringe also has a built-in mechanism that either covers, or retracts, the needle once the medication has been administered to the patient. Due to the increasing number of healthcare accidents involving needle sticks, regulatory agencies are mandating the use of safety syringes in healthcare facilities. Safety syringes are recommended by health organizations including the CDC and the World Health Organization. A syringe is made of 3 basic parts. Those parts include the barrel, the plunger, and the tip. The barrel is the clear part in the middle that holds the medication. The barrel is marked with numbers and lines in a graduated manner. These help to guide you as you fill the syringe. The inside of the barrel is considered to be a sterile environment.  The numbers indicate the amount of medication you are putting in the syringe in mls, or ccs. The abbreviation “mls” stands for milliliters. The abbreviation “ccs” stands for cubic centimeters. ONE ml is the same as ONE cc. The numbers and lines on an...

TANF was created with the goal of helping "families in need." A family, according to TANF definition, includes at least one caretaker and one child, or one pregnant woman. "Need" is determined by state, but it deals with the amount of income a family brings in.  TANF aims to assist needy families so that children can be cared for at home. There are preventative measures provided for out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and the program encourages two-parent families. TANF also aims to ultimately reduce the dependency of needy parents through job preparation provisions. In order to qualify for TANF, you must meet work and income guidelines on both federal and state levels.  These guidelines are usually comparable from state to state.  Countable assets, including bank accounts and money kept in the home, must come to $2000 or less. If the family owns or buys a licensed vehicle, that vehicle must not exceed $8500 in cost. Usually, you will not be required to have a job at the start of your application. You will be expected to work or actively participate in work training programs or other work-related activities while on the program, though. Only those living in the United States legally are permitted to apply for TANF. Additionally, you must also be a legal, full-time resident of the state in which you are applying for TANF.   U.S. citizens are eligible, but if you are not a citizen, you must have a green card, be an American Indian born outside of the U.S., be a victim of human trafficking, be a Hmong or Highland Lao, or be a "qualified alien." Qualified aliens are those who physically entered the U.S. prior to August 22, 1996, and who resided in the U.S. continuously before becoming "qualified" or legal. Those who entered after said date must wait five years after obtaining a qualified status unless they are refugees, asylees, or meet other specific requirements. In most cases, you will only be able to receive TANF if you live with a child under the age of 18, but there are other conditions that will permit you to apply....

Understand the purpose of TANF. Meet the income and work requirements. Be a citizen or legal resident. Have children. Note any traits that may make you ineligible. Check other state-specific requirements.


TS is caused by a missing, partly missing, or abnormal “X” chromosome in a female.  All indications are that this is a random developmental occurrence, and that family history plays no role.  This means, for instance, that you are no more likely to have a second child with TS if you already have one with the condition.  A male gets an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father; A female gets two X’s, one from each parent.  Females with TS, however, are either missing one of the X’s (monosomy); have one X that is damaged or partly missing (mosaicism); or have traces of Y chromosomal material mixed in.  TS occurs in about 1 in 2,500 female births worldwide.  This ratio, however, is much higher among miscarried and stillborn females, of which TS can play a significant role.  Testing improvements also mean that an indeterminate (but likely higher) ratio of fetuses with TS are aborted. Beyond the typical impacts on physical growth and reproductive development, the possible effects of TS are wide-ranging and can vary greatly from person to person.  The precise nature of the X chromosome abnormality and a host of other factors play into determining just how TS will affect a female.  Expect, however, to face numerous challenges. Complications arising from TS can include, but are by no means limited to:  heart and kidney defects; increased risks for diabetes and high blood pressure; hearing loss; vision, dental, and skeletal problems; immune disorders such as an underactive thyroid; infertility (in nearly all cases) or significant pregnancy complications; and psychological conditions such as ADHD. Females with TS are 30% more likely to have congenital heart defects, and 30% more likely to have kidney abnormalities.  All females diagnosed with TS, therefore, should undergo a cardiac evaluation and renal ultrasound, and continue to have regular checkups with specialists in these areas.  A female with TS should also undergo regular blood pressure, thyroid, and hearing tests, among other tests and...

Recognize that TS is a random occurrence. Prepare for a range of possible medical and developmental challenges. Conduct regular testing for common health impacts. Live your life with TS.


TSS is associated with super-absorbency tampons. To prevent it, don't use super-absorbency tampons unless they are necessary due to a heavy flow. Even then, you might experiment with using a lower absorbency but changing it more frequently. You might also want to use a combination of a lower absorbency tampon with a light pad or panty liner. Panty liners can also help prevent accidents while you're trying to find the lowest absorbency you need. When inserting your tampon, move slowly and gently. Don't push the tampon any further in your vagina than you need to. Take the same care when removing a tampon – don't just yank it out. Take particular care if you use applicator tampons, as they are more likely to scrape when inserted. It can help to put a small amount of lubrication on the applicator before you insert it. Tampons that are left in your vagina too long may encourage bacteria to grow. This is the biggest way tampon use increases the risk of TSS. However, if you remember to change your tampon every 4 hours, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.  Consider switching to light pads or panty liners if your flow is extremely light. A dry tampon may stick to the vaginal walls and cause abrasions when removed. These tiny abrasions may then become infected with bacteria that could lead to TSS. Since sleeping with a tampon in means leaving it in for 7 hours or more, consider using sanitary pads for sleeping. The less you use tampons, the lower your risk of contracting TSS. There may be some situations where tampons are more convenient, or you may feel embarrassed when you wear a pad in public. But if you find ways to use tampons less over the course of your period, you can prevent TSS. For example, you might wear tampons while at work or school, and then switch to pads when you get home in the evening. Heat and moisture encourage bacterial growth. Instead of storing your tampons in your bathroom, transfer them to a bedroom closet or drawer. Leave them in their original packaging, or transfer to a sealed...

Choose the lowest absorbency necessary for your flow. Insert your tampon gently to avoid scraping the vaginal walls. Change your tampon every 4 hours. Alternate between tampons and sanitary pads. Store menstrual products away from heat and moisture. Practice the same habits with all menstrual products.


Tables are both appealing and functional pieces of furniture. As a general rule, each piece of seating furniture should have some sort of table within reach. If possible, select a coffee table that is light, so you can easily move it if necessary.   Your tables don’t necessarily have to match, but they should have a cohesive look. For instance, if your coffee table is reclaimed wood, try to stick with other wooden tables to fit the theme of the room. In addition to choosing tables that fit the look of your living room as a whole, you can also style your coffee table or end tables with additional accents that match the look, such as books or plants. Choose a rug that compliments the color of your seating, the flooring, and your accent colors. It should be cohesive with the space, but can still be a focal point. Make sure it’s large enough to fit under the seating area, but not so large that it takes up the whole room. Position it in the center of the seating area to pull the space together.   Area rugs work well even on carpeted floors, as long as they don’t clash too much with the color of the carpet. For added safety on wood or laminate floors, place sticky webbing from the home improvement store under the rug. The webbing will keep it from slipping when someone steps on it! Many living rooms have insufficient overhead lighting, or none at all. If you have an area of your living room that doesn’t get much light, place a table lamp or floor lamp there to brighten up the space as needed.  If you want a more coordinated look, pick up 2 matching lamps and place them on opposite ends of the room. Or, update your existing lamps by painting the bases and swapping out the shades. Make sure that the light fixtures and shades are positioned in a way that doesn’t obstruct anyone’s view. Hang fun art or pictures of your family around the room at about eye level. Try to avoid having more than 2-3 pieces of art in the room, as it can make the space feel overly cluttered. When in doubt, refer to your color scheme for art...

Place an end table or coffee table within reach of your seating. Position an area rug near the seating area to pull the room together. Include light fixtures throughout the room to illuminate darker areas. Select a few pieces of art to hang on the walls. Spice up a sofa or loveseat with fun throw pillows. Experiment with throw blankets draped over your couch or ottoman. Select 1-2 accessories or pieces of furniture that serve a purpose. Check local yard sales and online marketplaces for unique accent furniture.


Tabouli tastes best if refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cover the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Transfer the chilled tabouli to a serving bowl or platter. Tabouli pairs nicely with pita, hummus, or romaine lettuce leaves. Put the tabouli in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.

Tadpoles need clean, dechlorinated water. Rainwater is one of the best waters to keep your tadpoles in since it contains mosquito larva and doesn't contain any chemicals.  Some advise using water from where you found the tadpoles.[citation needed]  Do not use tap water; it's too full of chemicals that can harm tadpoles. If you want to use tap water, use water conditioner sold at pet stores for fish. Try to only change half the water at a time to keep the pH of the water balanced. A turkey baster is good for this and disturbs the tadpoles as little as possible whilst making it easy to remove debris that gathers at the bottom of the container. But this is optional--not many tadpole/frog owners have these.

Keep the water clean. Change the water regularly.


Tagging people in posts, especially posts that have nothing to do with them, is a bad idea. Even if you're posting photographs and they happen to be in some of them, shoot them a message to ask if it's okay to tag them before you do it. This is especially true if you don't know the person well.  For example, if you are posting your third grade class photo on Facebook, do not search out every person in the image and tag them. Even if you do keep in touch with them, they probably will not appreciate it. Tagging all of your friends in a silly meme post is sure to annoy them. Commenting with tons of emojis, making pointless observations, or leaving cryptic remarks on someone else's post is a surefire way to get on their nerves. Before you hit the "Post" button, reread your comment and ask yourself if you really need to post that comment. For example, do not post a million heart emojis on every single post your friend makes. It might be cute at first, but it will probably get old fast. Do not use hashtags that have nothing to do with your actual post. You also do not need to take advantage of the maximum number of hashtags allowed on a social media platform! Use hashtag and keyword tools if you need help finding relevant tags for you or your brand. Choose a handful of the best ones and leave it at that. For example, Instagram allows up to 40 hashtags per post. Actually using all 40 of them is really annoying to your followers and to strangers affiliated with that hashtag. In most cases, if someone posts or comments something that you don't like, you probably don't need to inform them that you feel that way. This is especially true if the comment has nothing to do with you. Keep in mind that your comments are public and reflect on you personally. Twitter wars and Facebook arguments pretty much get on everyone's nerves.  For example, if your friend posts a music video on their Facebook page, you don't need to respond with, "This is a terrible song." If someone else makes a dumb comment, you don't need to interject...

Don't tag people in pointless posts or without their permission. Avoid leaving pointless or awkward comments on other people's posts. Use relevant hashtags and don't use too many of them. Don't start arguments on other people's posts. Avoid bragging about your life on social media.


Tags and categories make your story easily searchable on Wattpad. Use keywords that accurately describe what your stories are about. Mention genre, subject matter, main themes, and any other relevant tags and categories that will get your work to the right audience. For instance, if you write war fiction, use tags like "history," “WWII,” and “war." If you write for mature audiences, use tags and categories to make that clear. Depending on the nature of the content, you could use tags like "strong language," "mature readers," "adult fiction," and "sexual content." If you're writing for young people specifically, use tags like "YA," "teen fiction," and "young adult fantasy" to reach the right audience. To build your reader base, you need to publish regularly and consistently. Break up your story into smaller chunks, such as chapters or acts. Choose a schedule to upload your story, such as once a month or once a week.  Make sure you don’t miss an upload date, as this will hurt your number of readers. Life happens, and if you do miss a promised update on rare occasions, it probably won't mean the end of your Wattpad popularity. However, you should avoid doing this routinely as it can cause your readers to lose trust in you. Try to make sure your updates seem worth the wait each time, and especially when you have to take a longer break than usual. If you write your story before you start uploading it, you won’t have to worry about struggling to keep up. Wattpad is a lot like a social media network. People can leave comments on your stories, and you can reply to them. After you post your story, take some time to answer any comments that you get. It makes you more approachable, and it’s more likely your readers will recommend your story to others.  Some readers might post criticism of your story, constructive or not. Accept any feedback you get graciously, unless it’s insulting. Thank your readers for any polite comments they share, regardless of whether those comments are praise, constructive criticism, or a...

Tags are a great place to find direction for how to clean and maintain your furniture, but if these don't provide you with what you're looking for, your owner's guide might have the information you seek. Take note of solutions you can use and recommended cleaning techniques. Some common abbreviations for upholstery are:  W: Use water-based detergent. S: Clean with water-free products, for example, dry cleaning solvent. WS: Either water-based cleaner or water-free cleaner is OK. X: Professional cleaning only, though vacuuming is acceptable. A steam upholstery cleaner is specifically intended to deep-clean the fabric of your furniture and is available to rent at most local hardware stores. If you use a steam cleaner, allow your furniture extra time to dry, as the cushions take on a considerable amount of moisture through this process. Always vacuum your couch to remove loose dirt and debris before using a steam cleaner. Vacuum the couch again after the cushions and upholstery have completely dried. Using your carpet beater, firmly whack all your cushions on both the front and back. If you lack this tool, you can also use a clean broom, but you'll first need to take your couch cushions outside and place them on a clean surface. To prevent stains from grass or outside dirt, you may want to lay down a towel or drop cloth before setting your cushions outside. This process can sometimes kick up considerable dust, so you may want to consider wearing a dust mask while doing this. Apply a wet paste of water and detergent to the cushion and allow it to stand for a few minutes and then rinse it clean. If you notice discoloration after rinsing, you should not hand or machine wash. Take the cover to the dry cleaner instead. Add equal parts mild dish detergent to cool water and agitate the solution until the soap and water mix completely to a whipped consistency. Now you can dip your sponge into the solution, wring out the excess moisture, and begin sponge-cleaning the cushion. For most fabrics, long strokes will serve you...

Check the tags and owner's guides. Get the right equipment for steam cleaning. Try the old-fashioned approach with a carpet beater. Check your cushions for color fastness. Create a dish detergent solution for cloth covers. Use proper sponging technique. Cleanse the cushion of all remaining cleaner. Speed the drying process with a fan.


Tailor your budget to fit the relationship you have with the recipient. In other words, you'll probably want to spend more on a close friend than a co-worker. Regardless of who the person is to you, give yourself a budget. Adult goodies can get pricy very quickly, so it's good to have some limitations in place. Instead of handing over a giant bag filled with mostly useless and throwaway items, aim for fewer items that are stylish, sophisticated and useful. To keep yourself on track when selecting items to put in the bag, continually ask yourself, “Is this something I would appreciate receiving myself?” For a friend, choose upscale items that are tailored to what you know about them. For people that you don't know well, choose items that are a little more neutral that anyone could enjoy.  For an artist friend you could put all art-related items in the bag, like paint brushes, a small paint set, a book about their favorite artist, a beautifully bound sketch book and/or two tickets to an art film showing in your city. For a co-worker you could use a dark brown coffee-themed bag and cream colored tissue paper. Inside you could put a nice mug, a few bags of high-end coffee, a small bag of bakery-made biscotti and a gift card for Starbucks. Everyone appreciates receiving things that are useful and functional. Gift cards fall into this category and since these days you can get a gift card to almost anything, tailor your choice to the person. Restaurants, department stores, craft stores, wine shops, book stores – the possibilities are endless.  Other ideas would be movie tickets, sports tickets or tickets for a night at the symphony. Smaller useful items are great too – travel sized hand sanitizers that are high end or decorated could be included, or a well-designed pen. Don't go overboard with your choices – pick 3 to 6 quality items that are well-made and nice to look at and leave it at that. When paired with the sophisticated, well-designed packaging you've created, even the smallest of gift bags come off as...

Take 1 of the rectangles you made for a sleeve and fold the long sides together to create a tube shape. Then, thread a needle with at least with at least 40 inches (100 cm) of yarn and whipstitch the sides together. Lay both of the panels on top of each other and whipstitch from the bottom of the panels up towards the top. Measure the widest part of your sleeve and leave that much space near the top of the panels so you can sew the sleeves in place. Put the sleeves in place so their seams are pointing down and whipstitch the sleeves to the sweater. Then, continue to sew along the top of the shoulders and leave about an 11 in (28 cm) opening in the middle of the sweater for your head. Remember to tie off the yarn and weave in the ends. Place the narrow cuffs at the end of the sleeves and whipstitch them in place. Then, take the long cuffs and seam them to the bottom of the sweater. Tie off the yarn and weave in the ends when you're done.

Take 2 green mangoes and slice them into long, thin pieces that are bite-sized. This part is really up to you. If you prefer cubed pieces over longer slices, that works too. Whatever you decide, this amazing Hawaiian dish, known as Li Hing Pickled Mango, will suit your tastes. Turn off the heat once the water is boiled. Stir 2½ cups of light brown sugar and 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml). of Hawaiian salt into the water to dissolve it. If you want to dilute the mixture a bit, you can add a little bit more water. Remove the mixture from the heat completely and add 1 cup of rice vinegar to the mix. Jade brand powder is a great powder to use; just add 2 tablespoon (29.6 ml). of the Li Hing powder to the mix and stir it in to combine the ingredients. You can add a bit more to taste if you like. Add a few drops of food coloring until the color is a deep red. Though adding food coloring is optional, it can really make this dish pop and look fantastic. Stir all of the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated. Once you've made and stirred the juice, place it in the fridge for an hour, or the freezer for half an hour or so. Place the mango pieces in a jar, packing it as tightly as possible. Then, remove the cooled juice from the fridge and pour it into the jar, over the pieces of mango. Fill the jar all the way to the top and make sure that you cover it tightly. This is how long it will take for the mangoes to fully absorb the juice. Once you've made this delicious treat, you can enjoy this pickled mango on its own, with other fruits, or with rice.
