Exercising regularly can help improve your memory, aiding to your ability to develop the skill set of a prodigy. Try to move for at least 20 minutes a day. Take a walk each night. Ride your bike to work. Get a stress ball and bounce it around your office for 20 minutes a day. Simple, regular physical activity can greatly improve your memory and overall skills. Eating a balanced diet can help you develop the skill set necessary to becoming a prodigy. Adequate nutrition helps care for your mind as well as your body. Make sure to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, as well as high quality proteins like those found in fish and poultry. Eat dairy in moderation and incorporate high quality carbohydrates into your diet, like those found in whole wheats and whole grains. Alcohol and tobacco can affect the memory. They can also affect the sleep schedule, and poor sleep can affect your overall performance and memory. Try to stick to drinking in moderation, which means only one to two drinks a night. If you're a smoker, talk to your doctor about quitting. In addition to affecting your memory, smoking can cause a variety of other health problems.

Exercising with weights builds up muscle and keeps your metabolism high for an extended period of time, helping you to lose fat. Even when you are not exercising, muscle will burn more calories than fat will. If you're new to weightlifting, get started by joining a gym and asking a personal trainer to help you with some beginner's exercises. Keep these tips in mind:  Work each muscle group. Make sure you do exercises to work out your arms, back, chest, abdomen, and legs for full-body fat loss. Focus on performing 2-4 sets of 8-12 repetitions at 70-80% of your one repetition max. Do not simply lift the heaviest weights you can because form is more important than the amount of weight lifted, and form is usually sacrificed to focus on lifting heavier weights. Don't overdo it. Make sure you have a few rest days between workouts, and don't work the same muscle groups two days in a row. Your muscles need time to repair after workout sessions to get stronger. Mixing resistance training with cardio workouts is the key to successful fat loss. Cardio exercises get your heart pumping and help you burn a lot of calories. Any type of cardio is fine, but try to choose an exercise you enjoy doing, so you'll be motivated to stick with your workout regimen.  The best type of cardio to do for fat loss is HIIT (high-intensity interval training). HIIT involves doing intense bursts of cardio with short rests in between. HIIT keeps your body guessing and burning more calories than long periods of steady intensity. Cycling, swimming, and running are great cardio exercises. Do one of these activities for half an hour four times a week, or mix them all up. Work out with a friend. Sometimes having a friend along can turn a dreary workout into a fun catch-up session. Find a friend with similar goals and motivations, and set up a schedule to exercise together several times per week. We burn calories throughout the day, not just when we're working out. Being more active in general can make a big difference in your daily calorie burn. Try...

Exercising your brain through new experiences can help you to increase your creative thinking and problem solving abilities. With learning and experience comes creativity.  Learn something new. Watch movies, read or look at pieces of art in genres or styles that would normally be of no interest. Read more about them. Try learning how to play an instrument. Studies suggest that playing an instrument can help children achieve success academically. Perhaps learning to play an instrument helps exercise parts of your brain that control important functioning including: attention, coordination, and creativity. Some research suggests that playing games such as Super Mario can increase brain plasticity. This result has implications for increasing memory, performance, and overall cognitive functioning. Games that use skills such as planning, mathematics, logic, and reflexes can be especially helpful in exercising your brain power.  Some types of brain games to try include: logic puzzles, crosswords, trivia, word finds, and Sudoku.  Try Lumosity, the brain-training application for your phone.  Try Gamesforyourbrain.com or Fitbrains.com. Reading has been implicated in a wide variety of cognitive functions. A higher vocabulary has also been linked to more success and higher socioeconomic status.  Look at dictionary.com and find the "Word of the Day." Use the word several times during the day. Simply reading more often will increase your vocabulary. Perform tasks with your left hand that you would normally do with your right (or vice versa if you are left handed). This can form new neural pathways and may diversify your reasoning capacity, as well as increase your creativity and open-mindedness. Try simple tasks first like brushing your hair and using your phone before you try other activities.

Exercising your dog prior to trimming can minimize the dog's activity during grooming, which is safer. He or she may also be willing to sit still longer, giving you more time in which to complete grooming. Good quality tools for grooming will make the job easier for you and more comfortable for the dog. Good quality scissors and clippers will minimize hair-pulling and help ensure your cuts are clean and even. Be sure to use the correct blades for the clippers you buy and the correct lengths, etc. for the clipping you are doing. Turn the clippers on near the dog before using so they get used to the sound. Doing this when the dog is very young can help train the dog to be comfortable with the clippers later on. Use electric clippers for ease. You should also trim around sanitary areas. Read the instructions for your clippers to be sure you are using them properly. This includes selecting the right blades for each area you are trimming. You will want to trim and shape the dog's coat to give him the trademark fluffy look this breed is known for. Trim feet, shape the rear, and scissor the back, sides, underline, and chest to achieve this effect. You will also need to trim the tail, ears, and head.

Exfoliating means gently scrubbing your skin to remove dead skin cells. You can do this with a dry exfoliating brush, a damp washcloth, or a salt or sugar body scrub.  Since the skin on your face is very delicate, only use exfoliating tools and products specifically designed for use on the face. Body exfoliating products will typically be too harsh.  Keep in mind that exfoliation only helps if your current skin is darker than your normal skin tone, because it reveals fresh skin that is untouched by the sun. To make your own facial scrub, try adding a teaspoon of ground almonds or oatmeal to your regular cleanser. to your skin morning and night. Your skin will look lighter, brighter, and healthier if it’s well-nourished. Use a moisturizer that’s formulated for your skin tone, and apply it every morning and evening after you wash your face.  For example, if you have oily skin, you would use a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly. If your skin is dry, you might need a heavier moisturizer. If you have combination skin, you might prefer using a lightweight moisturizer on most of your face, then a more concentrated formula where your skin is the driest. Use a lightweight body moisturizer on your chest, arms, and legs. indoors and outdoors. Most of the normal darkening and discoloration of your skin is caused by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. To prevent this, along with skin-related conditions caused by UVA and UVB rays, wear sunblock with a minimum of SPF 30 on your face, chest, arms, and hands every day, no matter where you'll be. For the strongest sun protection, reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you’ll be outdoors. Each day, try to eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. In addition, men should drink about 3.7 l (130  fl oz), while women need about 2.7 L (91  fl oz) of water every day in order to stay hydrated. Try to exercise for about 30 minutes a day, as well.

Exfoliating too often can actually irritate your skin, causing more damage, dryness, and flakiness. If you don't know how sensitive or damaged your skin is, you should try exfoliating only once a week.  If your skin still needs an added boost after several weeks, consider increasing the number of days you exfoliate to two times--but never increase the among past three days per week, and immediately decrease the amount of your skin starts looking red or irritated. Regardless of how often you exfoliate, always exfoliate at night to allow your skin time to heal and rejuvenate while you sleep. Furthermore, UV rays from the sun can damage newly exfoliated skin. Avoid using hot water since it can cause further dryness and irritation. Similarly, harsh cleansers can also worsen your skin quality. It's best to use warm water and gentle cleansers, especially before you plan to exfoliate.  If you're exfoliating your body, keep the shower under ten minutes to avoid prolonged exposure to hot water. You should also wash your face after your shower instead of during it.  Use separate cleansers for your body and face. If you have sensitive or dry skin, consider looking for cleansers specifically marketed toward your condition (i.e. "sensitive" or "moisturizing" formulas), especially for use before exfoliating. While not strictly necessary for normal to oily skin types, consider rubbing a thin layer of face oil over your skin before working with your exfoliant. The oil will act as a barrier between your skin and the product, thereby minimizing the harshness of that product.  This can be especially helpful if you have sensitive skin or weak capillaries (the fine blood vessels directly beneath your skin). Look for face oil blends specifically marketed to your skin type (dry, normal, or oily) for the best result. While there are many different types, seed, jojoba, and calendula oils are among the most popular options. While dead skin can gather all over your body, the areas most in need of exfoliating are those where the skin...

Exfoliating your legs before you shave will allow for a closer shave. It will remove any dead skin that often builds up in a razor and prevents a close shave. Exfoliating regularly will also help to prevent ingrown hairs which can be painful. You will achieve the best results if you exfoliate in the shower or bathtub. The steam will help soften your skin and open up your pores. The water will also allow for easy rinsing and clean up. Using the tips of your fingers, apply a small amount of salt scrub to a small portion of your leg. Start at the bottom of your leg, near your ankle, and work your way up. Use an exfoliation mitt if the salt scrub is too rough on your hands. Just remember to thoroughly wash out your mitt after each use. The buildup of dead skin on the mitt can result in bacteria growth. Using the tips of your fingers, massage the salt scrub onto your leg in a circular motion. The circular motion will help to prevent or free ingrown hairs. Continue to add more salt scrub as you move to new parts of your leg.  Avoid rubbing too hard or too long. If you see your skin start to appear red or irritated, stop rubbing. Be careful around sensitive areas such as your ankles and bikini line. Start near your ankle on the opposite leg. Continue to apply salt scrub while you exfoliate your shin, knee, and thigh. If you suffer from rough, dry patches on your legs, consider exfoliating twice a week. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to consider exfoliating only once a week. Note that every body reacts differently to different ingredients. Try different oils and abrasives until you find the perfect match for your skin type.

Exfoliating your skin using a dry brush improves your circulation and keeps your skin healthy. Its recommended as a way to reduce the appearance of stretch marks that have already formed, but dry brushing can also be used as a preventative technique.  Use a dry brush made from natural fibers. The bristles should be stiff, but not too tough. Start from the bottom of your legs and brush your skin upward toward your heart. Focus on areas where stretch marks might become a problem, like your buttocks and abdomen. When you're finished brushing, take a shower to wash away the dead skin cells. Don't use a dry brush on your breasts, since the skin there is more sensitive and could be damaged by brushing. Many commercial body washes contain sulfates, which can dry out your skin and reduce its elasticity over time. Choose a cleanser made with natural oils that will hydrate your skin, rather than making it lose too much moisture.  Coconut oil can act as a healthy skin cleanser. Rub it over your skin, rinse with warm water, and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. It may not be necessary to use a cleanser on your skin, especially if it's prone to becoming dry. Wash your skin with lukewarm water and pat it dry. Its important to use a moisturizer to hydrate the skin on your belly, sides, lower back, thighs, legs, and anywhere else you might get stretch marks. Regular lotion won't penetrate the skin deeply enough to keep it hydrated, so use a product specifically made for pregnant women, or choose a natural oil.  Cocoa butter, kokum butter, almond oil, egg oil, shea butter, and wheatgerm oil are popular and effective choices for moisturizing skin during pregnancy. Pure lanolin, which is made from the oils produced by sheep to keep their wool supple, also works very well.  Other popular oils include tamanu oil, rosehip oil and baobab oil. These oils are rich in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. They support the regeneration of new tissues and accelerate the formation of healthy skin. Moisturize your skin in the...

Exfoliation does not need to be done every day, as this can make your skin irritated and raw over time. Instead, aim to exfoliate your skin once every 1-2 weeks to remove dead skin and soften it up. You can use a homemade exfoliating treatment, or use a store-bought one. Simply wet your skin, scoop some of the exfoliant onto your fingertips, and massage it onto your skin. Do this for 60-seconds, and then use a bit of warm water to rinse it off.  Try mixing sugar with honey for a home-made exfoliant. If your skin is sensitive, you can use oatmeal mixed with honey or milk to buff down your skin. Face masks do a few things (depending on the one that you're using). They work to remove toxins in your skin, clear out your pores, and get rid of dead skin cells and grime. They are best used once every 2-4 weeks, as they may dry out your skin if used more frequently than that. To use a face mask, wet your face and scoop some of the mask onto your fingertips. Spread it evenly over your skin, and allow it to dry for 20-30 minutes (until no longer tacky). Then, use warm water and a damp cloth to wipe the mask off your face.   You can use masks as a spot treatment on pimples; simply dab it onto a zit, and leave it to dry overnight. Wash it off in the morning, and the redness and tenderness of your pimple will be greatly reduced. Mud masks are generally the most popular, but there are many kinds that you can find to use. Pore cleansing strips are a type of cotton strip with an adhesive on one side. The adhesive side is pressed onto your skin, and when you pull the strip off, it removes any blackheads that might have been present. Pore cleansing strips are generally only needed when you're breaking out. They are usually used on the face (on the nose and chin), but can be used on any part of the body that has blackheads. Follow the package directions for your strips, and finish up by washing and moisturizing your face.

Exfoliation makes your skin softer by removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. You can scrub your face with coffee grounds mixed with some mild soap, or a store-bought exfoliation product. For relief of redness as well, look for something that contains green tea extracts and glycolic acid. Avoid exfoliating more than once or twice a week, as exfoliating too often can cause skin irritation. Moisture loss and removing your skin’s natural oils can lead to dry and flaky skin, and bathing too often, bathing for too long, and using hot water can all increase moisture and oil loss. Bathe every other day if you can, use cooler water, use your hand or a soft cloth instead of a scrubber to apply soap, and limit your shower time to five or 10 minutes.  After your shower or bath, don’t rub your skin dry, as this can remove moisture and oil. Instead, gently pat or rub yourself with a fluffy towel.  When your skin is still somewhat damp, apply your favorite moisturizer. If you choose to shave, save shaving for last when you’re bathing, because this will give your skin time to soften up. Use a moisturizing shaving cream and sharp razors with multiple blades. It’s also important to shave downward, or with the direction of your hair growth to prevent irritation.  Don’t shave first thing in the morning when you’re retaining water, as you won’t get as close a shave. Treat razor burn with a warm compress, and always moisturize after shaving. To avoid the added cost of shaving cream, you can use hair conditioner as a substitute, but avoid soap as it won’t lubricate your skin enough. Your skin doesn’t seem to mind what kind of moisturizer you prefer, as long as you use it often and regularly. Always moisturize after bathing or shaving, before applying makeup, after removing makeup, and after doing dishes or getting your skin wet.  Look for a moisturizer that has plant-based oils and hydrating ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin E, cocoa butter, shea butter, lavender, and chamomile. For particularly dry skin, try a deep overnight...

Existentialism is all about being who you are outside of social norms, culture, religion, or other ideas of what you should be. Its about recognizing that you have the freedom to choose who you want to be and only you can make that choice. Of course, the problem with authenticity is knowing when you've actually achieved who you really are outside of society's expectations, versus when you are simply doing what you think looks or appears authentic to others-- which is exactly the opposite of what you should be trying for. When you make a choice about your self presentation or actions, ask, "Is this what I really want, or am I doing this because it will please someone else?" For instance, when you get dressed in the morning, are you choosing what you like, or what you think others will find sexy or cool? Find a passion and go after it, whether it be art like existential painter Jackson Pollock, writing like existential author Fyodor Dostoevsky, or philosophical inquiry. Being an existentialist means that you recognize the value in self-expression, so find a way to let your inner self be expressed on the outside. Existentialism is a habit of the mind, and involves considering questions about how individuals must live.  Existentialists ponder questions about the meaning of life and death, whether or not there is a God and whether deity is involved in individual lives (nearly all existentialist philosophers believe there is no God, since there is no meaning or order), the meaning of friendship and love, and other questions that have to do with the individual.  Existentialists are less worried about social or political issues like what the role of the state should be.

Expect body-shaming others to increase your chances of body-shaming yourself. So stop zeroing in on other people's flaws. Instead, focus on what you do find attractive about them in order to train your mind to do the same with yourself. If your friends, family, or any other acquaintances love to pick apart other people's looks, redirect the conversation to something more positive. If that isn't possible, spend less time with them so you don't have to be part of such negative conversation. Don't let their line of talk influence the way you think. Grow more comfortable with your body by facing it on a daily basis. Devote some time each day to view yourself from as many angles as possible, preferably while naked. This may feel weird at first, but the more time you spend viewing your body as a whole, the less time you'll spend absorbed by this or that minor flaw. If you find this awkward, do some sort of activity in front of the mirror, like combing your hair or exercising. Give your mind something to occupy itself so it's too distracted to dwell on how uncomfortable this may feel at first. Simply put, treat people the way you want to be treated. Go the extra mile whenever your friends and family need help. Let a hand to coworkers who need it. Treat strangers with respect. Draw inner strength from the fact that you'd be a better partner for that special guy than the flawless-looking jerk vying for his attention. Whether it's chores, homework, or just responding to that email someone sent you a couple days ago, don't put off whatever needs to be done in your life. Take care of things in a timely manner so you don't feel pressured or bad about yourself. This may seem totally unrelated to your looks, but worrying about all the things you haven't taken care of will drain your confidence in yourself, so don't make a habit of procrastinating. In addition to keeping on top of all the nuts-and-bolts of day-to-day life, be sure to reward yourself, too. Designate a little time each day to "me-time." Spend it however you...

Expect employers to value technical know-how most of all. So don’t fret if the cost of tuition for higher education is beyond your means, because a degree isn’t strictly necessary to find employment. At the same time, though, recognize that technical proficiency coupled with a degree will probably make you stand out over other candidates. Whichever route you choose, put all your emphasis on becoming a proficient programmer. Coasting will only leave you ill-equipped for interviews and the job in question. If you decide on college, be wary about specialized degrees in game programming. Expect these to cover all of the many different aspects of game programming in a relatively short amount of time. Favor a major in Computer Science instead if you aren’t already proficient in the subject.  Each aspect of game programming takes a lot of time to master. Studying computer science in depth is more likely to equip you with the necessary skills to tackle each one, even if those skills aren’t directly applied to games during the course of your studies. If you do consider a specialized degree, research the people who are teaching it. Professors who understand the concepts of game programming, but who have never worked in the field themselves, may not be the best people to learn from. Whether you go to school or teach yourself, aim to master at least one computer language. Focus on C++ to increase your chances of being hired, since this is used the most often in game programming. Other languages that are helpful include:  Actionscript Assembly C Java Objective-C Python Swift Remember: the best way to learn how to do something is to actually do it! Once you learn how to code in computer languages, apply your skills. Build a game from the ground up to grow more familiar with the whole process, from start to finish.

Expect shucking corn to get a little messy. At the very least, have a bag handy to throw away the husk’s leaves and silken strands as you work. To make life even easier, line a trashcan or similar container with a bag so you can work over that, or even inside of it. Alternatively, you can also line your kitchen counter with paper or other compostable material if you want to compost the leaves and silk. This way you can easily ball up the whole bundle when you’re done. Give the husk a quick look-over and find whichever leaf seems to be the outermost. Strip that off and continue peeling away the outer leaves as you work your way inward. Stop once the ear seems to be covered by only one layer of remaining leaves. The last layer should be a little translucent, so once you can see the kernels through the leaves, you should be there. Pull the tops of the remaining leaves away from the ear’s top. Stop peeling once you’ve exposed three or four rows of kernels. However, as you peel the leaves back, remember: The aim is to rip off all the leaves at once, in one move. So don’t peel the tops away from the ear in a way that would make it difficult to hold them all in one hand. The “tassel” is the bunched-up ends of all the silken strands inside. Gather this as well as the tops of the inner leaves in your dominant hand. Use your other hand to clutch the ear by its bottom. If you’re unable to grab them all in one hand, don’t worry. As long as you have most of the leaves and tassel in hand, the other leaf or leaves may still come off with them. Hold the ear vertically with its tip at the top. Then, with the leaves’ tops and the silk tassel in one hand, give them a hard yank down the length of the ear to where your other hand is. This should strip the whole ear, but if you weren’t able to get all the leaves’ tops in one hand, just repeat with any leaf that didn’t come off with the others. Your corn should now resemble a rocketship, with the ear as the rocket pointing in one direction, and the leaves and silk as its flames...

Expect the constant pull of a hanging quilt’s weight to damage and weaken its stitching over time. Take your quilt down once every six months to avoid extensive damage. Either alternate it with another quilt for the next six months or hang it back up, only this time upside-down. Remove dust to preserve your quilt’s fibers. Make sure your floor or table is clean before you spread your quilt on it. Use a handheld vacuum with low-suction to prevent damage to the stitching. Stretch a fiberglass or nylon screen (or even a coffee filter) over the vacuum’s small-brush attachment to further reduce suction. Keep your passes gentle and even as you go. Replace the screen or filter if needed as dust collects. For a deep clean, use a large bedsheet to line a clean bathtub, kiddie pool, or other container large enough to submerge the entire quilt. Place your quilt in on top and then fill the container with a mixture of a half-ounce of mild laundry detergent for every gallon of water. Let the quilt soak undisturbed. Drain the container and press the quilt between your hand and the container to get the soap out. Pat the quilt with a clean towel to remove soapy water. Collect the corners of the bedsheet together and lift the quilt out of the container. Spread the quilt by itself on a clean, non-porous surface and allow it to air-dry.  Use vacuuming as your primary cleaning method to avoid damaging the quilt through excessive washing. Do not soak your quilt if it contains: ink or dyes that may run; glazed, silk, or woolen fabrics; signs of weak stitching or other damage. Washing machines, dryers, dry-cleaning, and ironing could all ruin your quilt.

Expect weight loss of about 1 lb per week by lessening daily food consumption by 500 to 750 calories.  More drastic weight loss may be difficult and unhealthy.  For example, there are about 3,500 calories in 1lb of fat.  To lose 2 lbs in a week, you would have to cut 7,000 calories from your weekly diet. Try a few simple approaches to shave off calories wherever you can.  Eat slower to reduce calories.  It takes about 20 minutes before your brain tells your body it is full.  According to some studies, eating slower results in feeling full quicker.  Substitute a salad to drop daily intake.  Salads have low calories but still aid in losing weight.  Try to make it your lunch-time choice every day. Be sure to use a low-calorie and low-fat dressing option, such as oil and vinegar. Use almonds to satiate hunger and drop calories.  About 15 – 20 almonds can make for a quick snack, but 50 or so could be considered a meal replacement.  One study showed a six-month diet that included almonds as snacks resulted in 18% body weight loss.  Increase your protein intake to lose fat.  Some studies showed that people who double their protein lose more weight via fat.  To determine the amount of protein you need, weigh yourself then multiply by 0.36, then multiply that number by 2.  The result is the amount of protein you should get in grams.  An added benefit is more protein intake has been shown to increase metabolism.   Substitute salsa for unhealthier options.  At only about 4 calories per tablespoon, it’s a 20 calorie savings versus sour cream or guacamole, a 70 calorie saving versus ranch, and it’s also an extra boost of vegetables to boot. For less calories, aim for proteins lower in fat.  Try to maximize the protein grams in the amount of calories.  Here are a few examples of foods packed with protein.  Milk – 149 calories for 8 grams of protein Eggs – 1 egg has 78 calories and 8 grams of protein Greek yogurt – 15-20 grams of protein for 100 calories Cottage cheese – 14 grams in 100 calories Edamame  – 100 calories...

Expect wool to be naturally repellant towards dirt. Also, bear in mind that rigorous washing can actually damage it. Save yourself some time and trouble. Unless something catastrophic happened to your blanket, always try the easiest methods (like air-cleaning and brushing) first to see if they do the job before moving on to something tougher. Choose somewhere indoors with a lot of air circulation to hang it. Set up some fans to get the air moving if needed. Hold your blanket up and give it a thorough shaking to dislodge any dirt or dust clinging to it (or do this outside if you'd rather not vacuum the floor afterward). Then hang it so the air currents can sweep along the wool and blow away the dirt and dust.  Avoid hanging it up outside if the sun is out. Direct exposure to the sun can cause pronounced fading in colors. Do not use heat sources (like space heaters, hair dryers, or even the sun) to speed up the process. Excess heat can dry your blanket out more than desired and damage the fibers. Spread the blanket out on the floor and smooth it out so it’s flat. Use a soft-bristle brush for fabrics to brush out dirt. Work lengthwise down the blanket and always brush in just one direction.  Brushing in multiple directions can weaken the wool fibers and wear your blanket out. Fabric brushes can be found with other laundry goods in most stores, or you can find them online.

Expect wool to repel moisture upon contact, but don’t take this for granted. Keep in mind that the fibers will start absorbing the liquid within a few minutes. If you spill anything that might stain your blanket, clean it right away, before the stain begins to set. Combine one part distilled white vinegar with two parts water. Fill a spray bottle with your solution. If you’re dealing with a recent spill or smudge, try using seltzer water, since the carbonation’s bubbles can actually encircle and seal off particles and other liquids. If the wool has been dyed, expect your solution to cause the dye to run if it isn’t colorfast. Spray a white cloth with your solution until it’s damp. Then pick a small area of your blanket to test. Dab the blanket gently with your damp cloth. Check the cloth to see if it has absorbed any dye from the blanket. If it has, don’t proceed any further. If the blanket isn’t colorfast, it will need to be dry-cleaned. Spray the dirty area with your solution. If it’s very soiled, pour enough solution to cover and soak the area. Then use a dry cloth to blot up the solution and dirt. Resist the urge to scrub, since this will weaken the fibers and potentially spread the dirt or stain around over a wider area. If your vinegar solution isn’t doing the job, empty your spray bottle. Add a tiny drop of mild laundry detergent and fill the bottle with warm water. Then spray the blanket again and blot with a fresh cloth.  Do not use anything harsher than mild laundry detergent. If it doesn’t do the job either, your blanket will need dry-cleaning. Many brands specifically label their mild detergents as such. They also might advertise them as being safe for sensitive skin and/or babies.

Deal with fresh spills and stains ASAP. Make a cleaning solution. Test dyed blankets before cleaning. Spray and blot. Repeat with mild detergent and water if needed.


Expect your appearance to be taken into consideration. For any in-person interviews or events, groom yourself beforehand. Exact on-the-job requirements regarding appearance will be detailed in training once you are hired, but anticipate a general desire for cleanliness and neatness. Check images of flight attendants posted on Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge’s websites. Model yourself according to their dress, hairstyle, and grooming. If you have already worked as a flight attendant, lead with that. If not, emphasize any previous employment that you might have in a similar service industry. Remember: even though a plane is a unique environment, your role as flight attendant is pretty similar to any on-the-ground job that involves keeping customers happy.  Such jobs could include sales, food and hospitality, or customer service. Be sure to mention any that involved working with children, which is a highly prized skill for flight attendants. Remember that, as a flight attendant, you will be working as part of a crew in a unique environment where safety is a top concern. Emphasize your positive attitudes toward teamwork and safety. When discussing your prior work experience, highlight initiatives and other strong points touching on these areas:  Maintaining a courteous demeanor regardless of the situation. Adapting to new situations quickly as they occur. Communicating effectively with fellow staff and customers. Maintaining a safe work environment.

Experience counts when using skinfold calipers because the accuracy of the test depends on precision of measurement. “Competent” examiners have executed 50 – 100 tests in controlled research settings. Experienced examiners are more likely to take measurements at the same point over time, which will give you the most accurate results for tracking your progress. If a professional is not administering your test, keep in mind that collecting measurements from certain points, such as your back, may be difficult — if not impossible — on your own. Body fat calipers do not measure body fat percentage directly. They are used to administer the “pinch test,” which takes measurements of skinfolds from three to ten points on the body. That information is then plugged into a formula to compute your body fat percentage. The accuracy of skinfold calipers for measuring body fat percentage depends on both the experience of the person using the calipers and the formula used to compute the results. There are over 100 equations used to calculate body fat percentage from a pinch test. Each is specific to groups of people according to characteristics such as age, gender, race, and fitness level, which affect where bodies tend to store adipose fat. Plugging in the same data to several different equations can return results that vary by several percentage points.   Common equations include Jackson & Pollock, Parrillo, and Navy Tape. To choose a formula that makes sense for you, work with a fitness professional and use it as a benchmark of your progress. Or, forgo the formula completely and just keep track of the skinfold measurements.  Many body fat calculators are available online, making it easy to calculate the results of a pinch test with a few or several measurements. At the start of a fitness regimen to reduce your body fat percentage, it is useful to get a baseline measurement. Keep this information in a log (personal training journals and fitness apps are good options) along with your exercise routine (e.g., mileage walked,...

Experiencing the loss of someone close, or past experiences with neglect and physical, mental, or sexual abuse can be a very traumatic. A person who has experienced any of this is more likely to encounter behavioral and psychological challenges because there is that underlying fear that these events could occur again in their current relationships.  Some common emotional and behavioral reactions of fear of abandonment include: mood swings and fits of anger, as well as other behaviors that may alienate you from those you hold close. Other symptoms may include poor self-esteem, low self-worth, severe anxiety or panic attacks, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and difficulty adapting to change. Fear of abandonment can also impair the ability to trust others and experience. It may lead to co-dependence and associating with people who reinforce those negative thoughts. Much of the time, fear of abandonment has its roots in a childhood trauma. If you lost a parent or caretaker to death, divorce, or another cause, you might unconsciously fear the same scenario playing out again with other people. Sometimes, trauma experienced in adulthood can also make you afraid of being abandoned. Ask yourself whether you have lost a partner or someone else close to you through death, divorce, or financial abandonment. These situations can create a general fear of abandonment in some people. Many people who are afraid of others leaving them suffer from low self-esteem. If you frequently seek validation from other people or attempt to derive your self-worth from your relationships, you might be afraid that others will abandon you and cut off the source of your positive feelings about yourself. People who are predisposed to anxiety are more likely to fear being abandoned. Many anxious people have vivid imaginations. If you have imagined what it would be like to be abandoned, you might become afraid of it happening, even if it has never actually happened to you before.  People with anxiety tend to expect the worst in a...

Reflect on how abandonment impacts you. Ask yourself whether you experienced abandonment in childhood. Think about whether you have felt abandoned by a partner. Evaluate your self-esteem. Ask yourself whether you tend to feel anxious. Seek professional help.


Experiments whose results cause sweeping scientific paradigm shifts are very, very rare. The vast majority of experiments answer small, specific questions. Scientific knowledge is built upon the accumulation of data from countless experiments. Pick a topic or an unanswered question with a small, testable scope. To get ideas, look for gaps in the current scientific literature.  For instance, if you want to do an experiment on agricultural fertilizer, don't seek to answer the question, "Which kind of fertilizer is best for growing plants?" There are many different types of fertilizer and many different kinds of plants in the world - one experiment won't be able to draw universal conclusions about either. A much better question to design an experiment around would be "What concentration of nitrogen in fertilizer produces the largest corn crops?" Modern scientific knowledge is very, very vast. If you intend to do serious scientific research, research your topic extensively before you even begin to plan your experiment. Have past experiments answered the question you want your experiment to study? If so, is there a way to adjust your topic so that it addresses questions left unanswered by existing research? Good scientific experiments test specific, measurable parameters called  variables.  In general terms, a scientist performs an experiment for a range of values for the variable he's testing for. One vital concern when performing an experiment is to adjust  only  the specific variable(s) you are testing for (and no other variables.) For instance, in our fertilizer experiment example, our scientist would grow multiple corn crops in soil supplemented with fertilizers whose nitrogen concentration differs. He would give each corn crop the  exact  same amount of fertilizer. He would make sure the chemical composition of his fertilizers used did not differ in some way besides its nitrogen concentration - for instance, he would not use a fertilizer with a higher concentration of magnesium for one of his corn crops. He...

Experts believe that eating a healthy diet could prevent up to 10% of all cancer cases in the United Kingdom. Eating more fruits and vegetables has been linked to reduced risk of cancers of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, lung, and larynx. Eating too much red meat (beef, pork, lamb) and processes meat (salami, bacon, hot dogs) has been linked to increased risk of cancer. People who eat more fiber have reduced risk of bowel cancers.  Include chicken and fish in your diet. Replace some of the red or processed meat you eat with chicken or fish one to two times per week. Try replacing some of the meat in meals with beans or tofu. Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.  Spices that have been shown to have carcinogen-blocking effects include amla, garlic, and turmeric (via the curcumin).  Consume turmeric (which contains curcumin) with black pepper to boost the bioavailability.  To boost fiber content in your meals, adhere to the five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Include whole grain foods in your meals daily. Diets high in saturated fats may increase breast cancer risk. Avoid saturated fats by reading food labels and choosing alternatives with less saturated fat. Studies have shown that women who exercise 30 minutes per day five times per week (or 150 minutes total) have a 15 – 20% reduction in breast cancer risk. Other studies have consistently demonstrated a 30 – 40% reduction in colon cancer risk when individuals increase their physical activity. Physical activity has also been shown to reduce the risk of lung and endometrial cancer. Exercise at a moderate to vigorous intensity for 30 – 60 minutes per day. Examples of moderate intensity exercises include walking briskly, water aerobics, and bicycling at less than 10 miles per hour. Examples of vigorous intensity exercises include jogging, hiking uphill, swimming laps, and jumping rope. Infection with certain types of viruses increases the risk for certain kinds of cancer. For example, the virus that causes hepatitis B (HBV)...

Experts recommend Dewalt for beginners. B&D Buffmaster is good for more experienced buffers. Once you have achieved a desired finish with sanding, you’re ready to start buffing. Be sure to buff at a low RPM of about 1400.  Don’t keep the buffer in one place for more than one or two seconds. Buff sparingly. Buff the scratches sparingly to prevent a burn. Keep the buffer moving and watch that you don’t overheat the surface. If you do, you’ll end up needing to re-sand, or maybe even re-clear the surface. Protecting your clear coat should be done on an ongoing basis. Weekly car washing and periodic waxing are the best ways to protect the clear coat.

Choose a rubbing compound. Start using your buffer. Don’t let the buffer run dry. Protect your clear coat.


Experts recommend a water and stain protector formulated specifically for suede. Water can be damaging to suede and eventually change the color and texture, but a protective spray will prevent this from happening. This can be purchased online through Amazon or from a big box store like Target or WalMart. Before using the spray, ensure that the boot is clean. An optimal time to do this is right after purchasing or receiving the boots, before even wearing them once. This way, you will be prepared for the elements and do not have to worry about cleaning them beforehand. Hold the spray bottle about six to eight inches away from the surface of the boot. It should come out of the bottle as a mist. Spray the boot all over with the protective spray, ensuring that you cover the entire surface of the boot. You only need to lightly spray the boot; too much could affect the boot’s texture or color. The protective spray should prevent the boots from becoming ruined by water or snow. However, on days when it is especially rainy, it is best to avoid wearing the boots altogether. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally, away from any sources of heat. When they are dry, brush them well with a suede brush. Purchase a special suede brush to use to brush out the nap, otherwise known as the surface of the suede. This will buff out any minor scuffs and help the shoes retain their soft, pleasant texture. Suede brushes are relatively inexpensive so it may be in your best interest to purchase one in order to keep your shoes looking their best.  Suede brushes are available at stores like Target or department stores like Macy’s. Before brushing the shoes, stuff them with crumpled newspapers. This will help the shoe retain its shape. Gently brush the nap in the direction of the fibers. You can tell which direction the fibers are going in if you run your fingers or hands along the surface and see which way the fibers lay the flattest. Once this is established, brush in that direction.

Purchase a suede protective spray. Ensure the boot is clean. Seal the suede. Avoid wearing the boots in wet weather. Maintain the nap.


Explain how you have been feeling, and what struggles you have been going through. You may be prescribed therapy and/or antidepressants.   Your family doctor can help you by listening to your symptoms, referring you to a specialist, and possibly prescribing medication. Therapies such as CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (Dialectal behavioral therapy) can help you counter negative thoughts and learn strategies for handling rough times.   Making the step to get professional help can be difficult if you are depressed. Feeling bad because you can’t control your mood on your own is normal. Making the decision to get help is a positive action which will help you to begin fighting depression and anxiety. Look for therapists or doctors who you like and feel comfortable with. Don’t be afraid to interview several before picking one you like. Once you meet with a doctor you may get a prescription for medication to help fight your depression or anxiety. It’s extremely important that you take the proper dose and stay consistent.   Many of these medications change the chemical imbalance in your brain and affect your serotonin levels. Low levels of the brain chemical serotonin are a factor which can lead to depression. When you don’t take your medication regularly, your body experiences withdrawal and can make you feel worse than before. Battling depression and anxiety is a constant in most cases. You may not find the right medication for you right away. It may take several months to get it right and you may have several different prescriptions along the way. It’s extremely important that you keep honest and open communication about your medication and how you are feeling with your doctor. Exercise releases endorphins and improves your overall health. Go for walks, play backyard sports, swim, hike, or play with children or pets.  Try exercising with a loved one to make it fun and help you stay motivated.  If you suffer from depression and anxiety staying active can be a big challenge. On those days when it’s an...

Explain that credit is when a lender gives you money and expects you to pay it back by a due date or with interest, which is an added percentage. Tell them that if they don’t repay a line of credit, they’ll have a harder time getting leases, mortgages, cars, jobs, and other life essentials. Explain that they won’t have to pay interest if they pay off a credit card balance by its due date. Mention that the better credit you have, the lower your interest rate will be on credit cards, mortgages, and car loans. Explain that interest on a loan can capitalize if it’s not paid, which is when it becomes part of the principle, or original loan amount. Compare a credit balance with library books to help them understand. If they return the book they borrowed, they won’t have to pay extra. If they keep the book past its due date, they’ll have to pay extra, or interest. Tell your student that it takes time to earn a good credit score. Explain that the score is based on payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit and recently opened accounts, and types of credit in use. Stress that a low number will negatively impact their ability to get loans, leases, jobs, and other necessities. Let them know that having a credit card is an important part of building credit, but they must use it responsibly. Tell them they can’t use the card to make a purchase they can’t afford. Remind them of the library book analogy to stress the importance of paying of a balance by the due date. Mention that if they don’t pay off a balance and credit card debt piles up, their credit score will take a major hit.

Explain that you are hoping that your breakup--as painful as it was--is the starting point of something new and deeper. State clearly and directly that you are hoping that the two of you might get back together. Some scripts include:  "I have loved getting to know you again through our friendship, and I'm glad that we talked about what went wrong when we were dating. I think that the two of us might be ready to get back together. What do you think?" "I really value this friendship we've developed, and it makes me hopeful that the two of us might be able to be more than friends. Do you feel the same way?" "I really care about you, and, if you were up for it, I would like us to begin dating again. I know that we have had our share of hardships, but I think that they have made us stronger." While breakups are emotionally draining, they can sometimes help people learn about themselves and grow into better people.  Show your ex that you are not the same person who dumped him or her, and explain how you have become a better, more mature partner. Because your ex might be skeptical, it is important to back up your words with positive actions. Be sure that you are constantly working to improve the mistakes of your past.  For example, if your ex is concerned that you do not communicate well, study up on communication techniques. Or if your ex is worried about how emotionally available you are, make time to support your ex when he or she is going through a difficult time. Your ex might be especially worried that you might dump him or her again.  Be patient with your ex's (understandable) anxiety. While you cannot guarantee what the future holds, you can guarantee that you will work and try your hardest to deepen the relationship and support your partner. Even if you have done everything right, it is possible that your ex will not want to reunite with you romantically. Or perhaps your ex will need time to think before making any decisions. But no matter what, you should be proud of all the work that you put into...

Explain the effect that food can have on his or her body. Discuss the negative effects of eating unhealthy foods, and the health benefits of eating nutritious foods. Frame these discussions as making healthy choices rather than taking away junk food. Explain that it is fine to treat yourself once in a while, but to make sure it does not become too frequent. Rid the house of unhealthy junk foods and replace them with healthy, iron-fortified snacks and meals. Empty calorie foods have little to no nutritional value and contribute to unhealthy weight gain. Keeping healthier foods around the house will have reciprocal effects on your own nutrient intake. Explain the ways in which each ingredient is good for the body. Emphasizing the importance of preparing fresh foods to your children from an early age will instill healthy food habits. They should develop basic cooking capabilities as they age so that they do not resort to preservative-heavy foods in your absence. Bring your child with you on grocery shopping trips. Show him healthy snack options. As you select different ingredients, explain to him how each of those ingredients will be incorporated into a healthy meal. Show your child the variety of nutrients available in the produce aisle rather than packaged foods high in preservatives.

Explain to your doctor that you suffer from excessive sweating and that you have tried a number of different deodorants and antiperspirants, but none of them have helped to control the amount you sweat. Ask your doctor or dermatologist if Drysol is right for you. Some medical conditions may interact with Drysol. As a result, you should tell your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions. Your doctor will be able to determine from this information if Drysol is a good fit for you.  You should also inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also a good idea to tell your doctor about any allergies that you have. Certain medications and supplements may interfere with the effectiveness of Drysol. Tell your doctor about all medications and supplements that you are currently taking. This includes prescription and nonprescription medications, supplements, and herbal remedies. There are currently no specific interactions with Drysol, but you should still disclose this information to your doctor incase you experience some form of reaction.

Explain to your friend that the motions you are about to perform will make them feel like a string is being pulled from their hand, even though it isn’t there. Speak without a shadow of a doubt in your voice because a lot of this trick is mental, so you really have to project confidence. To make your explanation more convincing, use big words, like saying the trick uses psychological principles to create tactile illusions. Really emphasize the importance of squeezing their fist as hard as they can. Ask them to do it harder once or twice, just to drive the point home. It shouldn’t hurt though, so if your friend has long nails don’t make them clench their hand super hard. Rub your fingers over their fist as though it were covered in something sticky you were trying to peel off. Be gentle but firm. Count to 30 out loud as you do this. It will make the process feel a bit more ritualistic. Remember that the point is to convince your friend that this will work, so be confident in your movements. It should take at least 15 seconds, but there is really no such thing as too slow here. If they move too quickly, gently remind them to slow down. Tell them the trick will only work if they don't rush it—that way you have an out if they don't feel anything. When their hand is fully open, flip it over so their palm faces up.

Convince your friend that the trick will work. Ask your friend to clench their fist hard with their palm facing up. Rub your fingers over their fist for 30 seconds. Ask your friend to open their fist very slowly, palm down.


Explain what the skin test does and how long it will take. You should tell the patient what each step of the procedure will be like. After you have explained the procedure, ask whether the patient has any questions for you.  Tell the patient that you will be injecting a very small amount of fluid into his or her arm. If infection is present, the injection site will show a reaction, such as swelling or a raised, hard area.  Explain that the patient must return to your office after 48-72 hours to have the test site examined. If the patient cannot return after 48-72 hours, do not administer the test. Make another appointment. The left arm is the standard choice, though the right arm is acceptable if you can’t use the left.  Be sure the patient’s arm is on a firm, well-lit surface. Slightly flex the arm at the elbow and position the hand palm side up. Look for a place below the elbow clear of elements that could interfere with the test reading, like hair, scars, veins, or tattoos. Be sure to wipe vigorously. Allow the alcohol to dry. To fasten the needle to the syringe, twist the cap into the tip of the syringe.  Place the vial on a flat surface, then insert the needle into the stopper. Draw the solution. Pull back on the plunger and draw out slightly more than one-tenth (0.1) of a milliliter of solution. Remove the needle from the vial. Make sure there are no bubbles in the syringe. If there are bubbles, expel the bubbles by slightly pushing the plunger up while pointing the needle of the syringe towards the ceiling. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Circle the alcohol swab outward from the center of the site.  Allow to dry. Stretch the skin at the injection site taut between your thumb and forefinger. Hold the syringe flange parallel to the forearm with the needle bevel facing upwards. Still holding the skin taut, insert the needle slowly into the injection site at a 5-15 degree angle. After inserting the needle, advance it approximately 3 millimeters. The needle tip should be intra dermal (below...

Explaining a mental illness like anxiety disorder is challenging and you might not know what to say, initially. “Process talk” simply means talking about talking rather than sharing information. It’s a technique that will help you put your thoughts in order, and also ask your family for patience.  For instance, say something like “I’m not sure how to talk about this, but can you please listen to me and try to understand? I’m hoping to feel better after talking about it with somebody.” You might also try “I don’t know if this makes sense and I feel uncomfortable talking about it, but I want to tell someone. Can you listen to me and not laugh or make a joke out of it?” Remember that your family will want to help you but may not fully understand what’s going on. Having a serious anxiety disorder is hard and isolating. But you’ll feel better with loved ones to support you. Explain how you feel and begin to open up about your problem.  Be clear about what is going on, i.e. “I’ve been having episodes lately where I feel overwhelmed. I panic, get afraid, and feel like I can’t breathe. It’s happening more and more often.” Or, “I feel like I have to follow these routines and rituals. I can’t explain why. I just feel terrified at what might happen if I don’t.” Name the disorder. Your family needs to know what you’re struggling with and that it is a recognized condition. You might say, “I think this is social anxiety disorder, Dad” or “I feel like I may have obsessive-compulsive behavior disorder.” Your loved ones might also not know much about anxiety or even about mental illnesses. They may not react well or deny there is a problem, thinking you can just “snap out of it.” It will help them understand the problem you’re facing if you can offer concrete examples of how anxiety is affecting your life – and the fact that it’s serious. Focus on events that have occurred or the impact they’ve made on you.  For example, you could say something like “I’ve been having trouble coping with stress at school. I feel so overwhelmed...

Explore what recipes other DIY sunscreen makers are using. This will give you a sense of what ingredients are popular, and what ingredients you may want to use. One DIY sunscreen maker suggests the following recipe, which combines several different oils. Simply melt all of the ingredients EXCEPT the zinc oxide together, then add the zinc oxide, cool, and you’re done.  1/2 cup Almond or olive oil 1/4 cup Coconut oil 1 tsp Red raspberry oil (optional) 1 tsp Carrot seed oil (optional) 1 tsp Vitamin E oil (optional) A few drops of essential oils of your choosing (optional) 2 tbsp Shea butter 1/4 cup Beeswax 2 tbsp zinc oxide Once you’ve read or even tried other DIY sunscreen recipes, such as the ones in this article, you can add your own ingredients to the sunscreen to tailor it to your tastes. As an example, you might add lavender oil and cut the beeswax content of the DIY recipes in this article for a lighter, lavender-scented sunscreen that easily smooths over your skin. The base oil is the oil that you will use the most of in your homemade sunscreen recipe. Popular base oils include olive oil (SPF 7-8), coconut oil (SPF 7), castor oil (SPF 6), and almond oil (SPF 5). Popular essential oils to use in sunscreen include peppermint (SPF 7), tulsi (SPF 7), and lavender (SPF 6). Avoid citrus oils (e.g. Bergamot or Citron) as they will boost your chances of burning. Red raspberry seed oil is a popular choice amongst DIY sunscreen makers, who claim that it has an SPF of 25 to 50. You can add a small amount of it to your sunscreen to boost its SPF level. With an SPF of 35 to 40, carrot seed oil is a DIYer favorite. Try adding a small amount of carrot seed oil to your homemade sunscreen to enhance its SPF level. Shea butter is believed to have a natural SPF of 4 to 6. Adding it to your sunscreen will help thicken it. Shea butter is also a great moisturizer, and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Explore your identity and keep in mind that the first step in coming out and telling your friend that you love them is being comfortable with your own feelings. Because of societal pressures and expectations related to sexual orientation and gender identity, this isn’t always an easy process. Work on getting more comfortable in your own skin so that you can be strong and confident when you come out. Consider how you would like to come out to your friend. Remember, there’s no “right” way to come out. Just do what is most comfortable for you. You can make a big announcement or just casually slip it into conversation. Things you may wish to consider:  Decide if you would rather tell your friend individually or in a group setting. Think about places you’d be comfortable telling your friend. Consider a place or activity you both enjoy; for example, getting coffee, playing tennis, or while at your favorite pizza place. Give your friend enough time to ask questions and respond to you. Make sure they’re able to be focused on what you’re saying to them. For example, you might not want to tell them between classes or if they are running late for an appointment. Before you share the romantic feelings you have toward your friend, you want your friend to know that you are gay. Come out to your friend before you tell them you are in love with them. Give them a few weeks to process this news first.  It is best to just come right out and say it: “Matt, I’m gay” or “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I’m gay.” Try not to get yourself worked up over it and wait for the “perfect” moment.  Do your best to speak clearly, even though you might be nervous. It might be more stressful to have to repeat yourself! This will help you determine if you want to move forward in sharing your romantic feelings at a later point. They may be happy for you, freaked out, or somewhere in between.  They might want to talk to you a lot about it, or they may just say, “Okay, that’s cool,” and change the subject. Answer their questions. They may...

Exploring the nudist lifestyle is a great way to feel empowered. It can be exhilarating to experience an extended period of time not worrying about what you are wearing or what you look like. Research shows that nudists generally have high levels of self-esteem. Take some time to enjoy the experience. Think about how great it feels to be in a new environment and the new sensations that you are experiencing. One of the major components of nudist resorts and beaches is that the people who frequent them are generally very open-minded people. Knowing that you are not being judged is a great way to help you feel relaxed and more confident. It is a place where body image is not relevant. People naturally observe other people's clothing. When no one has any on, it removes one of the things that we tend to judge. Trying something new is beneficial for your mind. Trying something new requires you to be brave, which is a good trait to have. New experiences also require to you grow mentally. Your mind will absorb new emotions as you try new things. Trying something new is the only way that you can find something new to enjoy.

Exponents of a number (the base) means multiply it by itself the number of times stated in the exponent (the power). Because 1 multiplied by itself to any power is still 1, you have to start with a base of 2. Okay now double base of 2 instead of 1. So using base of 2 you can see that 2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8 . So then 2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 x 2 = 16, etc. So, raising 2 to an exponent of 30 for the first month (of course the 31st power is on day one of the 2nd month...), and to 61 for the second month solution will give you your number of pennies after two 31 day months. For example, open the Windows calculator accessory, then you can click View and select Scientific and type 2 then press the [xy] key, then type 30 and press the [=] key to see the amount of pennies for the 1st month. To get the feel of using the calculator for that [xy] key, try the calculator for 2 to the 3rd power which is 8, and the 4th power which is 16, the 5th power of 2 is 32, etc. So, 32 pennies is exactly what you would have on day 6 of doubling, using the 5th power, since we had to start using the powers of 2 on day two.

Explain that this problem shows how an exponent works on 2 cents after one penny is doubled, and you keep doubling from there on. Look at day two so the amount that starts doubling is 2 pennies. Use the exponent function on a scientific calculator to see the doubling calculation after day one instantly.


Expose the brackets in the back. Make sure the brackets are flush with the bottom surface and facing down. Use one of the circular or oblong screw holes closest to the drawer slide. If possible, pull it all the way out to gain access to the front brackets. Also, choose the holes closest to the drawer slide. If it is in the right place, screw a mounting screw into the center of each bracket. If it is not, remove the screws with the drill and reposition the brackets and drawer. Begin loading it and testing it again. It will be ready to hold dishes or supplies.

Exposing your breasts to air will also help them stay dry and possibly make breastfeeding less uncomfortable.  You can buy feeding bras that are made of natural, breathable fibers so they do not irritate your breasts. They are usually also made so you can unhook them easily for feeding time. You can also buy breast shells, which are donut shaped plastic shells that you can place on your breasts to protect your nipples. These can be placed inside your bra or your shirt to protect sore nipples. You can also soften breasts to prepare for the feeding by using your hands to gently massage them. Do this a few minutes before feeding time so there is stimulation of your breast milk.  Another option is to pump your breasts for a few minutes using a hand pump to get the milk flowing. This may then make your nipples less sore and sensitive during feeding. This can also help elevate flat nipples and allow the baby to latch better to help prevent sore nipples. Exposing your body to a warm environment can help to stimulate milk production in your breasts. Some mothers will have a brief warm shower right before feeding time. You can also try applying a warm towel to your breasts to soothe any discomfort and help stimulate milk flow. Staying calm and relaxed before and during the feeding can help to make breastfeeding less painful and uncomfortable. You may do some deep breathing, where you breathe in and out deeply for six to eight breaths, or a five minute meditation, where you sit in silence for five minutes. A calm and relaxed mindset can help take the stress out of breastfeeding. Try to do this by lightly squeezing your breasts with your hands. Expressing a small amount of milk before feeding can help to encourage milk flow and activate the let down reflexes in your breasts. Your baby will then do less hard sucking, and put less stress, on your breasts during feeding. Avoid using a strong breast pump to do this, as breast pumps can make your nipples feel sore or become cracked.

Let your breasts air out. Massage your breasts with your hands. Have a warm shower. Do relaxation techniques. Express a small amount of milk right before the feeding.


Exposure therapy is when a person is exposed to the thing they fear the most, but within a safe and supportive setting. In the case of ASAD, you would have to face your fears of separation. To do this, you would very gradually expose yourself to the anxiety provoking situation—such as being away from your home or loved ones—for short periods of time. A psychologist or trained therapist can develop a specific exposure therapy program that can help you overcome your anxiety. If your doctor or therapist decides that exposure therapy is a good idea for you, and you are ready to try it, there are several techniques you can use. For instance, you might start just by thinking about being separated from your home or loved ones, and describe how you feel. Later, you might practice being separated from your loved ones or being away from home for periods of time that increase in length, and then discuss how you felt. Even short-term exposure therapy treatments (three to six sessions) can help ease your anxiety. If your therapist approves, asking your loved one to help you can make the therapy process easier. To begin, have your loved one go into a different room while you practice calming techniques, such as breathing exercises, or work on banishing anxious thoughts. Gradually increase the distance and time that you spend away from your loved one.

Talk to a psychologist about trying exposure therapy. Practice exposure therapy. Ask your loved one to help you practice exposure therapy.


Exposure to excessive amounts of sunlight will cause acne scars to darken (hyper-pigmentation) while hindering the healing process — this includes tanning and sunbathing. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight, especially during peak hours in the afternoon.  Apply sunscreen (broad-spectrum SPF 30) liberally before you go out, and reapply two hours later. Try to find brands that will not clog skin pores. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection. If your scars are on your arms, neck, or back, cover those with clothing as well. Largely made from collagen, scars are the body's natural way of healing itself. Picking and squeezing your acne or acne scars will further irritate the skin tissue and keep it from properly healing.  Instead, wash with a gentle cleanser to get rid of the oils and dirt that cause acne. You might also try over-the-counter acne products. Look for products that have benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient.  Watch what touches your skin. Keep your hair clean and swept away from your face, and avoid resting hands or objects like phones on your face. There is a balance between under-washing and over-washing skin. Under-washing leaves excess skin cells, oil, bacteria, and other debris on the skin, potentially clogging pores and creating blemishes. Over-washing irritates and dries the skin, contributing to excess oil production and more breakouts. Refrain from washing problem areas more than twice a day. When washing, use gentle cleansers with smooth grains and light scrubbing to exfoliate. Avoid products containing large grains, such as almond or apricot shell fragments, that will potentially damage or irritate the skin.  Showering is especially important following exercise and/or heavy perspiration to prevent bacterial growth on the skin.  Wash your hands when soiled and avoid touching your face or other problem areas. Touch can drive bacteria and debris into hair follicles, causing acne. Products containing isopropyl alcohol will strip the top layer of skin and dry it out. As...

Express your point of view or needs in a way that is clear and direct. You want to come off as aggressive, not disrespectful.  Make sure you have someone's full attention before talking. Talk face-to-face, not to their back.  Say their name when addressing them.  Be honest with the person you are confronting, but remember to listen to their point of view as well. Sounding condescending, accusing, or overly aggressive can make a situation escalate.  Words such as "always" or "never" tend to exaggerate statements and are good to avoid.  Bring the conversation back to yourself. Use "I" instead of "you" statements, such as "I feel..." or "I don't like it when...". Follow these with facts. Shouting, whispering, or speaking with a shaky force will undermine anything you say.  Speak at a level you would use for a normal conversation. Pleading or whining will make you sound desperate or emotionally dishonest. Speak in a clear, steady voice and do not hesitate. If you are preparing to confront someone, practice what you want to say in advance in front of a mirror. If you feel like someone is trying to take advantage of you or asking you to do something you feel is unreasonable (e.g. borrow money), do not feel guilty telling them "No".  Follow these basic principles of saying "No": be brief, clear, firm, and honest.  You can justify your response, but be brief and avoid excessive excuses. Do not start every sentence with "I'm sorry". Being overly apologetic will make you look immature or insincere. Reinforce your refusal with assertive body language. Maintain direct eye contact, hold your head up, keep your back straight, and relax your face and shoulders.

Stand up for yourself and push back. Use words and phrases that are direct, but not judgmental. Adjust the tone of your voice so it is even but firm. Refuse someone.


Expressing your desire to live with your boyfriend is the first step toward opening a dialogue about cohabitation. Telling him simply that you would like to move in together will leave little to no confusion in what you are saying. Set a time to sit down together and discuss the possibility of cohabitation.  Timing is important. Don't pressure him to move in early on in the relationship and try to bring up the conversation without conflict. Allot a significant amount of time to this conversation. Not only will you have many things to discuss, but it will also demonstrate the conversation's importance. Start the conversation by expressing your satisfaction with the relationship and describing what you would like to continue, such as “I love spending time with you and I want to do more of it.” Explaining your reasons, now that you've opened up a clear line of dialogue, around why you want to move in together will help put this phase of your relationship in perspective. There are many reasons why couples move in together, like financial convenience, a step toward marriage or partnership, greater intimacy, or having children together.  Give serious thought as to why you want to move in together. If it's about finances, make a budget with both of your incomes. If it's about moving toward marriage or partnership explain how you see moving in together is a step in the right direction. Try to give specific examples, like “We could both save so much money by sharing rent,” or “I really want marriage and children in the future, and living together is the next step in realizing that goal.” Moving in together can also provide opportunities to experience missing elements in your relationship. Perhaps you both have busy professional lives and cannot spend much time together, have opposite schedules making quality time scarce, or your relationship is lacking stronger intimacy. Whatever the reason, explaining what you believe to be missing form the relationship and how moving in together can be a step in right direction will...

Tell him that you want to live together. Explain why you want to live together. Describe what is currently missing from your relationship.


Expungement acts to dismiss the felony, almost as though it never happened. Only 16 states allow expungement of a conviction.   The general public may not know about your expunged felony, but law enforcement agencies and courts still have access to that part of your record. If you’re convicted of another crime after having a prior conviction expunged, the expunged conviction may add to the severity of your sentence.   Most states don’t allow expungement of serious, violent felonies.   Some states do not allow you to expunge felonies at all.  If you live in a state where this is true, you will have to work to get your felony reduced to a misdemeanor, and then you could possibly get that misdemeanor expunged. Some states allow the expungement of arrests only.  If you live in a state like this, you might not be able to expunge felony or misdemeanor convictions at all. Even if you’re successful in getting your conviction expunged, you may still have to disclose it in some instances, such as if you’re applying for a professional license or a job in law enforcement. Depending on the state, you might have to wait several years after your conviction before you can file to have your record expunged.  The length of time you have to wait can depend on several factors, including your age and the severity of the crime. Those factors vary from state to state. The waiting period doesn’t start until after you’ve finished all aspects of your sentence. This includes successfully completing any probation period and paying all fines. In many states you’ll have to present police and court records about your felony when you file for expungement. You probably will have to pay fees for certified copies of those documents.  You also will need copies of your criminal history and fingerprint records from the arresting police department. In some states, such as Florida, you also must have new fingerprints taken to submit with your expungement petition. States have a form, typically called a Motion or Petition for Expungement, to be...

Find out if expungement is available in the state where you were convicted. Make sure the required time has elapsed since your conviction. Gather your records. Complete the required forms. File and serve your expungement forms. Appear in court for your hearing.


Extend the length of the workout gradually, by no more than a few minutes each week. Use a "walk, trot, walk, trot" pattern to increase the length of the exercise session without wearing out the horse, but keep increasing the amount of time the horse trots each time as well. Remember to always end an exercise session with a walk without a rider. Now that the exercise is beginning to expand beyond short, gentle sessions, make sure the horse gets sufficient rest. Give the horse a break from all forms of riding at least once a week. Trotting up and down hills is especially effective at building the horse's hindquarter muscles. Keep in mind that the horse may trot at a slower pace over hills. Never ride up and down hills on muddy ground or other terrain with dangerous footing. Once the horse can trot for an hour without a break, it's time to try a light canter. Push the horse from a trot into a canter for just a moment, then back to a walk. Repeat this every day or every other day, gradually increasing the canter time every couple exercise sessions. It may be a few weeks before the horse can comfortably canter.  Adopt a jump seat position while cantering, to take most of your weight off the horse's back and to keep you balanced. Cantering is good for developing the horse's breathing, but trotting is more effective as a general muscle workout. Don't push the horse to this step; it usually takes at least nine weeks for an out of shape horse to be ready for galloping. Once the horse can canter comfortably, move from a canter to a gallop, then back to a canter again. Try this once or twice a week, gradually increasing the amount of time spent galloping. If you are training the horse for competitions, understand that jumping does not need to happen every exercise session. At the start of a season, a few jumping exercises are useful to get the horse back in form. Apart from that, high jumping exercises are not recommended due to the stress on the horse's joints. Have the horse trot and jump over short obstacles...

Slowly increase the length of the workout. Let the horse rest at least once a week. Start walking and trotting over hills. Gradually introduce cantering. Only gallop once the horse is ready. Train the horse to jump cautiously.


Extended pushups, like regular pushups, begin by placing your hands shoulder-width apart on the ground and balancing your feet on the tips of your toes.  But instead of lowering yourself until your elbows reach a 90-degree angle, lower yourself about 1/3 of the way down.  Doing some extended pushups will build your triceps, which provide speed when boxing. Medicine ball pushups are the same as regular pushups except that you place one hand on a medicine ball.  When you reach the top of the pushup, bring the hand that was not touching the medicine ball over to rest on it.  Then, move the hand that was originally on the medicine ball onto the ground beside it.  Perform 15 medicine ball pushups, then rest a few seconds, then repeat two more sets of 15. These exercises can help you build muscles, which will allow you to develop speed when boxing. Another way to improve speed when boxing is to do clapping pushups.  These are like regular pushups, but require you to push off the ground with extra force, then clap your hands together, then place your hands on the ground again. Clapping pushups demand a lot of power and speed.  They can, therefore, help you develop speed when boxing. Pullups involve gripping a bar, then lifting your chin over the bar.  From there, slowly lower yourself so that your arms bend at 90 degrees or more at the elbow.  Doing pullups will develop your lats, which are crucial muscles in helping your quickly pull your fist back after throwing a punch.

Extending your curtain rod 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) beyond the frame of your window makes your window seem larger and allows additional light to stream in. This way, when your curtains are open, they will rest against the wall rather than blocking the light from the window.  Note that some curtain rods are a fixed length, while others are spring-loaded and adjustable. If there isn't enough room on either side of the window for a rod that extends on either side, use 1 curtain panel instead of 2 and push it all the way to 1 side when you open it to keep the window from looking too small. Select a rod with curtain brackets a maximum of 50 inches (130 cm) apart for proper curtain-rod support. A rod that is longer than this without support brackets at this interval will have difficulty supporting the weight of your curtains. Make sure you install the brackets in a location where they won't interfere with hanging, opening, or closing the curtains.

Extensions braided into small braids are usually in place for a long period, so you want to start with clean hair and scalp. Make sure your hair is dry before braiding. You may also want to cut the extensions to the length you prefer before braiding. If you are going to use the full length of the extensions, you can leave them as they are. For box braids, you are going to be braiding numerous strands into tiny, long braids. Start the process by separating your hair into small, even, box-shaped sections. Then, use a small elastic to secure each section in a bun. Use a comb for best results and make sure your hair is untangled before you begin. Hold your natural hair taut as you twist the two strands of the extension around the natural hair strand. If you can't quite get it by twisting, just cross the extension strands under the natural hair. You will now have three distinct strands of equal size. Using these 3 initial strands, braid a few strands to get the braid going. Then, slide the extension upwards towards the scalp to secure it. Make sure not to braid the hair too tightly. This can cause severe scalp and hair damage. Split the natural hair into 2 strands. Do the same to 1 of the extension strands. Combine 1 of each of the strands together into 2 new strands. Now, 2 of your strands should be a combined natural hair and extension strand. You should still have 3 separate sections of hair at this point. When you reach the end of the extensions, secure the ends with a small hair tie or whatever other method you choose.

Shampoo and condition your hair before braiding it. Separate your hair into small, even sections. Twist the extension around your natural hair. Braid a few strands. Blend the natural hair into the extensions. Secure the ends.

Extra weight places additional stress on your joints, and over time this leads to an increased risk of arthritis. You can reduce your risk significantly even if you only lose a small amount of weight consistently over time.  If you've changed your diet and are exercising regularly, you'll likely lose weight without having to commit to a restrictive plan. Talk to your doctor about losing weight healthfully if you are significantly overweight. Engaging in strenuous or high-impact activity may cause more stress to your joints and could lead to injury. Smoking can substantially increase your risk of developing of rheumatoid arthritis, especially among regular smokers who have been smoking for 20 years or more. The exact reason smoking increases the risk of arthritis hasn't been established, but it's possible that smoking may weaken your immune system.  Smokers who've already been diagnosed with arthritis may find that their flare-ups are more frequent, more intense, and last longer than those experienced by non-smokers. Quitting smoking can help decrease these symptoms and make the condition less painful to live with. If you're not sure how to quit, talk to your doctor. They can offer practical advice or prescribe medications that may help you quit, if necessary. Many work and leisure activities, including typing or playing musical instruments, involve repetitive motion. Over time, repetitive motion can weaken your joints and lead to an increased risk of arthritis. When engaging in repetitive activity, make sure you warm up first. For example, if you're playing guitar, do some warm up exercises first to stretch and warm up your hands, fingers, and wrists. Take frequent breaks, and don't continue the repetitive activity for a long period of time. For example, you might type for 20 minutes and then take a 5-minute break.
