At some schools, only the senior class votes for  homecoming queen. At others, the entire student body gets a say. Figure out who will be deciding your fate on voting day, and direct your campaigning efforts towards that group. For example, instead of putting up posters everywhere, hang them in areas of the school where your target group spends most of their time (such as classrooms where required classes take place). If your school allows it, create and hang posters that make your name and candidacy clear, but also memorable. Enlist friends to help you make and distribute your posters, and make sure to put them up well in advance of voting day.  Puns might be corny, but they can help potential voters notice and remember your posters. Examples include: "Donut forget to vote for [your name]", or "Let's taco bout voting [your name] for homecoming queen."  Adapt recognizable words or images to announce your name and candidacy. By mimicking a logo, an album cover, or movie poster, you'll capture attention by using familiar concepts and symbols.  You can even tweak popular slogans to work in your favor. One oft-used example incorporates the Nike slogan: "Vote [Your Name] for Homecoming Queen – just do it!" Again, if your school permits it, filming and circulating a campaign video is a great way to let other students know you're running. Whether your video is humorous or inspiring, it'll help other your classmates remember you on voting day.  Include clips of yourself explaining why you believe you're a good candidate for homecoming queen, telling people who you are and what you care about, and why you love your school. Intersperse these with scenes of yourself hanging out with friends, cheering on classmates at games or performances, or doing your favorite extracurricular activities.  If you feel like using humor, film a music video that parodies a popular song. Invent new lyrics that reference your campaign and enlist your friends as backup dancers. Voters often appreciate candidates who don't take themselves too...

Find out who will be voting for you. Make eye-catching posters to spread the word that you're running. Film a campaign video. Create social media pages and invite your target audience. Give away fun items to potential voters. Demonstrate a genuine sense of school spirit. Act like a queen.


At the beginning of the game, each player will receive 54 tiles. These will include 36 basic flower tiles—6 Jasmine, 6 White Lily, 6 White Jade, 6 Rose, 6 Chrysanthemum, and 6 Rhododendron. In addition to the basic flower tiles, each player will also get 18 accent tiles—3 Rock, 3 Wheel, 3 Knotweed, 3 Boat, 3 White Dragon, and 3 White Lotus. Count your tiles carefully as you deal to make sure that both players end up with the same number of each. Otherwise, the game won’t proceed fairly. Place your remaining tiles into a bag or similar blind container and keep it close by. As you play, you’ll draw new tiles from the bag at random to replenish your hand.  Every time you put a new tile into play on the board, you’ll grab a fresh tile from your reserve stock. No player is to ever have more than the designated number of tiles in their hand at any point during the game. The first player to reach your agreed-upon number of harmonies wins the game. 10 harmonies is a standard goal for newer players. However, you could choose any number you like, provided there are enough tiles to actually form the necessary arrangements. Keep in mind that the greater your target number of harmonies, the longer it will take to finish the game. Pai Sho can be time-consuming, so setting too high a number could cause your game to feel never-ending. The winner of the coin toss is the starting player, who receives the title of “guest.” The guest opens play by placing any flower tile of their choosing inside their home gate. The other player must then follow suit and set up an identical piece within their own home gate, so that the two starting pieces mirror one another across the board.  If you want to up the stakes a little, the guest can win an early advantage by both planting the first tile and taking the first turn. In some versions of the game, the guest gets the privilege of placing a tile on the mid gate at the board's center.

Deal out 54 tiles of the correct suit to each player. Specify a number of tiles for both players to keep in their hand at all times. Decide on a target number of harmonies to play for. Flip a coin to determine which player gets to make the first action.


At the edge of the diving board, dangle your heels off but keep a firm stand on the board. Push yourself up and down with your feet to get a feel for the spring of the board. This is how you'll prepare your flip. Once you've got a feel for the spring of the diving board, raise your arms above your head. The motion of your flip will be begun by the rotation of your arms backwards, beginning from their position above your head. With your back straight and head neutral, start with your arms above your head and rotate them forcefully backward in a full circle. Your arms should finish their rotation where they began, above your head. Continue rocking the board with your feet halfway off. Just as your arms are about to reach their position above your head, bend low (keeping your back straight) to prepare your jump. Be sure to time your coming jump with the spring of the diving board. Once in the air, begin to arch your head and back backwards (away from the diving board). Keep your legs extended and at an angle, pointing towards the diving board. Think of being aerodynamic in these first moments, as you try to gain height from the board. One of the most common mistakes in the jump is an instinct to toss your head backwards and move your hips forward to imitate the coming flip. Avoid this: it may cause you to lose distance between yourself and the board, risking collision. Your arms should be above your head; push them back in a forceful semi-circle so that they're close to perpendicular to your torso. Once you've completed the semi-circle, bend your legs quickly and bring your arms down to your legs, grabbing your shins. Once tucked, your back should be parallel to the pool and your head should be facing the side of the pool opposite the diving board. Continue to throw your weight backwards as you rotate. Once in a ball, you can just finish your flip by continuing into the water. Once your comfortable with the flip and feel you've got the right height, you can finish by coming out of the ball. At this point, you...

Stand facing away from the water, feet halfway on the diving board. Keep your arms at your sides and your back straight. Rotate your arms a full circle. Right before the rotation ends, bend low and prepare to jump. Jump up and slightly out away from the diving board. Tuck your knees to begin rotating. Complete your flip.


At the end of a one-on-one outing, linger with your crush just a little longer than normal. Attempt to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. Creating more anticipation for the kiss will make it seem more exciting and out of the blue. If you want to make yourself as kissable as possible, be sure your breath is fresh and that you don’t have any body odor. It’s also helpful to apply an unflavored lip balm for soft lips.  Brush your teeth twice a day (especially your tongue) and floss regularly to keep your mouth ready for kissing. Always wear deodorant. It’s especially important if you find you get nervous and sweat a lot around your crush. This will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment without being too obvious, enhancing the element of surprise. If you’re walking your crush to their door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with them. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where they do. Now that you’ve created a moment of physical closeness, it’s time to bridge any emotional distance. Say something sweet and surprising to make them feel close to you. It’s important that you believe the thing you say here, as the emotion behind your sentiment will be obvious. For example, making eye contact, you could say, “I felt really attracted to you today.” Don’t say anything after your sincere surprise comment. Simply draw out the moment. Shoot a brief glance at their lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with them.  Try to keep your mouth gently parted, receptive to a kiss, during this look. If they look at your lips too, that is a great sign. If your crush feels the same way, they will meet your kiss. If they turn away, don’t force them to kiss. Respect them and understand that they may not share your feelings. If you’re feeling unsure about whether your crush will be receptive, lean in...

At the end of every month (or every section of your chemistry course) you should study the topics taught during that time. If it helps, you can study together with your friends, and together discuss how to answer the questions. Be attentive to your studying. Work in an environment with as few distractions as possible. Shut off the TV, put away food and snacks, and work in quiet, distraction-free space. To do well on any test or exam, you’ll need to have mastered the basics of chemistry, so you can solve more complex problems when they’re presented. Before a test, make sure you have a solid understanding of significant numbers, the periodic table of elements, and chemical names and symbols. Solve sample tests or chemistry questions. This will make you more comfortable with tackling genuine test questions, and will also increase your chemistry confidence. Ask your instructor for sample tests, or search online for “sample chemistry test questions,” and specify your grade level. Like many of the sciences, certain aspects of academic chemistry must be memorized, especially before taking an exam. Write down terminology definitions, chemical symbols, and the names and properties of the 30 or 40 most common elements. Flashcards are a helpful way to commit these symbols and terms to memory. Review these flashcards multiple times throughout a week, and a few times a day when a test is upcoming.

Study the material that will be on the test. Make sure you understand the basics. Write and memorize chemistry symbols and terminology.


At the end of the day, a love box needs to carry an individual character, indicative of you, your boyfriend, and the weird, wonderful connection you share together. Think of things that mean a lot to the both of you. How did you meet? If there's a certain big interest you share, like music, that might be a good place to start when it comes to designing your love box.  If you met him at a sporting event, for example, you might decorate the box with footballs and references to whatever game you met at. For another example: If you met him through your mutual appreciation of classic progressive rock, you might adorn your box with references to Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator. This example may be transposed to fit any genre. Pick any box. Ideally, it should be small enough to feel intimate, but just big enough to fit the things you want inside of it. Especially if you're looking to decorate the exterior a lot, you're going to want one that's plain. Otherwise, you can always dress the outside with glued construction paper, and work from there.  If you're really the arts and crafts type, you can even try your hand at creating your own box from scratch. Wood and cardboard are recommended sources to work with. Plastic tupperware actually works quite well for a box, though it's recommended you tape black construction paper around it to make the inside contents a surprise. The sort of materials you'll need to make your love box will depend entirely on what you want to do with it. Here are a few things that you'll probably need regardless:  A pair of scissors. Some construction paper. Pens and/or pencils. Tape and/or glue. Decorating the exterior is a lot more enjoyable if you have a clear idea where you want to go with it. Do the basics first; cover the box with construction paper, and move towards accessorizing once you've got the basics down pat. Don't be afraid to get creative! The exterior will be your boyfriend's first impression with the love box, so you should make sure it makes a strong impact on him before...

At the end of the day, if alcohol is going into your body, you will get drunk. Once the chemicals are in your body, they have to naturally filter out through your liver, and they will head to the brain on the way through your blood. Drinking responsibly is your best bet. That said, the following tips should help you mitigate the effects a bit and prevent getting sloshed after a few beers. Keep on knocking back some snacks, as the fat will help form a buffer against the alcohol. This makes the alcohol enter your body more slowly. Your waistline won't thank you, but your brain will. Good options include:  Fast Food Nuts Pizza Ice cream and milkshakes (dairy may also help slow down alcohol). A small spoonful of baker's yeast has been shown to break down alcohol the same way your liver does, preventing you from getting as drunk as you would without it. Simply mix the yeast in with water or yogurt and down it before you start drinking. While the effects aren't enormous, they can potentially lower your blood alcohol content by 20-30%.  This will keep you from absorbing some of the alcohol, but it will not keep you from getting drunk by itself. Note, however, that there is some scientific debate about the effectiveness of using yeast. The more regularly you drink, the faster your body will get used to the feeling of drunkenness. It will take more booze to feel drunk, allowing you to knock a few more back before feeling the spins. The more you drink, the greater your tolerance will be. Having a 1-2 glasses each night may make it easier to stay sober when drinking. Due to a wide variety of physical, mental, and social affects, it is not recommended that you drink purely to raise your tolerance. It can lead to health problems and alcohol addiction quickly. Put in more liquid and less alcohol. You'll still be able to drink, but you'll be able to space out the actual alcohol, keeping you soberer. You can even water down beer by mixing it with lemonade, crafting a "shandy" instead of a straight beer. Dairy lines your...

Make moderation your best friend. Eat greasy, fatty snacks while drinking. Eat a spoonful of yeast to negate some effects of the alcohol. Build up a tolerance to alcohol over time. Water down your drinks, especially mixed drinks. Have a glass of milk before drinking, and another in the middle of the night.


At the end of the day, there is no "perfect" amount to tighten your trucks. The tighter you turn the trucks, the more difficult the board is to turn. Too loose and you won't feel like you're stable, and your turns will be wide and difficult to control.The spot right in the middle of these extremes, your perfect tightness, is based on your own style and preference. Luckily, there is a large range of rideable tightness -- this isn't rocket science!   Generally, tighter pins provide more resistance on turns, key for high-speed skating. Looser pins have a more forgiving feel on turns and landings. A hard day of riding will show you all the pros and cons of your new truck set-up. But that doesn't mean you need to be stuck with your set-up all day. A skate tool is small and easy to carry. Bring it along and make adjustments as needed.

Know that truck tightness is a matter of personal preference. Bring your tool with you on your first few rides to make simple adjustments after testing.


At the end of the growing season, in July or August, the tops of the garlic plants will start looking yellow and begin to fall over and die. This means it's time to harvest the garlic.  Don't harvest the garlic too late in the season - the bulbs will shrivel and the garlic won't be good to eat. Garlic harvested too early won't cure properly. Use a spade to dig around the garlic bulbs without breaking through the cloves. Brush off excess dirt. You can leave the garlic stem attached to the bulb. Before you use the garlic, it's necessary to let it cure. During this time the skin will dry and the bulb will become firm. Store the harvested garlic in a cool, dry place for curing.  You can cut off the stem and cure the garlic bulbs individually in a storage bin. Make sure they get plenty of air circulation. Another common way to cure and store garlic is to leave the stems attached and braid them, then hang the garlic in a cool, dry place. You can also cure your garlic by hanging the cloves upside down in a warm, shaded area with the leaves attached. The cloves should be firm to the touch, and easy to pull apart. Pick out a few large bulbs to plant either in the fall before the ground freezes or in early spring. Choose the best-looking bulbs to ensure that next season's plants are big and flavorful.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Harvest when the tops turn yellow and begin to die off. Remove the bulbs from the ground without breaking them. Let the bulbs cure for 2 weeks. Use the garlic when the skin is dry and papery. Save the best bulbs for next season's planting.


At the end of the spark plug (on the side that goes into the engine) you’ll find a small piece of metal extending out of the plug. That’s called the electrode. If it is black or discolored, slide the sandpaper beneath the bent over portion of the electrode between it and the plug itself and run it back and forth until you see clean metal on either side.  The spark plug electrode should look like bare metal. If it doesn’t, keep sanding until it does. Always wear eye protection and a mask when sanding. If sandpaper doesn’t do the trick, the spark plug really should be replaced, however, in a bind you can use a small file to grind away significant carbon build up on the electrode. Slide the file into the gap between the plug and the electrode and then move it back and forth to clean the metal. Chances are good that there’s a build up of oil and grime in the threads of your spark plug, which will make re-installing them difficult. Scrub at the threads with your wire brush from a perpendicular angle to the plug (so the brush is moving in the same direction as the plug’s threads) to remove the majority of the built-up gunk. Then switch and scrub it from other angles for maximum effect.  Wear gloves while you do this to avoid poking yourself with the wire brush. The threads don’t need to be perfectly clean to work, but should be free of most buildup. Brake cleaner is sold in spray cans at your local auto parts store and can be used to effectively clean grime off of many car parts. Aside from cleaning, it evaporates rapidly so the parts dry quickly. Spray some brake cleaner on the plug and threads, then use a clean rag to wipe away any remaining dirt or debris.  If your spark plugs are really dirty, you can use the brake cleaner and wire brush together to tackle stuck on grime. Make sure to wipe the plug down thoroughly with the rag after to remove all of the brake cleaner that has soaked up dirt and oil. Once that first spark plug is clean, reinstall it and reconnect the spark plug wire that goes to it. Then repeat...

Use 220-grit sandpaper on the electrode. File down the grime on the electrode if it’s particularly dirty. Scrub the threads with a wire brush. Spray brake cleaner on the plug and wipe it down. Repeat the process for each spark plug.


At the end of your evening, linger with your boyfriend before you say goodbye for the night. Try to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. Get physically close to your boyfriend. You can touch his arm or sweep his hair out of his eyes. This closeness will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment. If you’re walking your boyfriend to his door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with him. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where he does. Say something sweet and heartfelt to make your boyfriend feel close to you. You’ll be physically close, and your words will create emotional closeness to match. For example, making eye contact, you could say, “You made me feel really special today.” Draw out the moment after your compliment. Shoot a brief glance at his lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with him. Keep your mouth gently parted, ready to kiss. If he looks at your lips too, that is a great sign. He may even make the first move. Your boyfriend may take the lead with the kiss, or he may turn away. If he does shy away, don’t force him to kiss. Respect him and understand that he may not be ready. If you’re feeling unsure about whether your boyfriend wants to kiss, lean in for the kiss slowly. This gives him time to stop the kiss if he doesn’t want to.

At the end of your interview, the hiring manager will likely ask you if you have any questions. This is a great time to ask more about the company or specific job, but you should also ask what happens next. For example, ask the hiring manager how long the post-interview process might take, if you can expect to hear from the company whether you got the job or not, and when you might hear something. You can also ask what the best way is of contacting the hiring manager if you have questions. If your interview goes well, you might be tempted to ask the hiring manager on the spot if you got the job. Don’t do this. It can make you look desperate, which can be a turn off for the hiring manager. It’s also likely that the hiring manager won’t be able to give you an answer right away. They may have more candidates to interview, or they might need to discuss all of the candidates with a larger group of people. This isn’t directly related to asking if you got the job, but it will keep you on the mind of the hiring manager. In your note, remind the hiring manager of who you are, what you interviewed for, and something that excites you about the company or position.  For example, you can say something like “Dear Jim, I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to interview for the assistant manager position at Jim’s Bakery. I really enjoyed the interview, and I’m so excited about the new products that Jim’s Bakery is innovating!” Don't ask for an update about the position in this note, just use it to thank the manager for interviewing you.

At the home’s electrical box, find the switch powering the outlet(s) with which you’ll be working and turn it off. Use caution since some kitchens may have two separate switches powering the space. Use a current tester to check an outlet that you know still has power running to it. This allows you to check your tester to ensure that it’s in proper working order before trying it on the inactive outlet. Now that you know your tester is working, try it against the inactive outlet(s) to ensure that they have indeed been powered down.

At the initial hearing, you will not argue your case but will instead plead “guilty” or “not guilty.” After you plead “not guilty,” the judge will schedule the trial date.  You should dress nicely to attend the hearing, because you will probably be appearing in front of the same judge who will preside over your trial. Business casual (a pressed dress shirt and dress pants) is acceptable attire. In some situations, you can get out of your speeding ticket without going to trial. For example, in some states, if you have never gotten a ticket before then you are eligible for traffic school if you show up to your hearing.  Also, if you were ticketed because you did not have proof of insurance in your car, then many courts will allow you to get out of the ticket if you present your proof of insurance before your hearing date. Principally, you will want to understand how the police officer judged that you were speeding. The most common methods of gauging speed are “pacing,” radar, laser, and VASCAR (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder). Each are vulnerable to different criticisms:  Pacing. Here, the officer gauges your speed by following behind you for a length of time to judge how fast you are going. You can attempt to discredit this speed reading by pointing out the officer was too far back to adequately follow you at a consistent speed, or that hills, curves, and traffic lights prevented the officer from following you for a sufficient length of time.  Radar. This technology uses radio waves which reflect off a car and then are picked up by a receiver. Radar speed readings are vulnerable to certain challenges. For example, radio waves can hit more than one car, or there may be problems with the radar’s calibration. Also, rain, wind, and storm clouds can send back erroneous speed readings.  Laser. Laser technology sends 40 beams of light over the course of a second toward the vehicle. The rate at which the light reflects back translates into the speed the car is going. One weakness with laser technology is...

At the start of the game, you should prioritize certain upgrades to give you a much better chance later on. As you start collecting DNA, evolve the following upgrades, in order as soon as you can afford them:  Code segment interception Nausea Vomiting Drug Resistance 1 Genetic Hardening 1 and 2 If you receive pop-ups informing you that planes or ships have been sterilized, you should prioritize the corresponding transmission methods:  If airplanes are sterilized, evolve Air 1 immediately. If ships are sterilized, evolve Water 1 immediately. Your next few upgrades are aimed at slowing down the progression of the cure. These symptoms make the cure more difficult, and should be evolved as soon as possible:  Hyper-sensitivity Paralysis Coma Seizures Insanity The following upgrades make your virus harder to kill and more likely to spread. Evolve these quickly to increase the rate which your virus infects new countries and decrease the cure's research rate:  Radical elements stabilized Water 2 Air 2 Extreme bioaerosol Drug Resistance 2 Cold Resistance 1 and 2 Now that your virus is spreading, it's time to evolve some more symptoms. These will increase the infection rate, leading to an even quicker global infection:  Pneumonia Sneezing Rash Sweating Anemia Hemophilia Skin Lesions Diarrhea There are a couple more upgrades that you should focus on to decrease the cure progress. These are not available until late in the game:  Encryption Breached Drug Immunity

At the start of the semester there’s usually an event where all campus clubs have tables with information about their club. This is a great place to start, when you’re thinking about what club to join. Ask questions, take a look at the material the club is sharing, and think about whether it might be fun to try out.  Remember that joining a club doesn’t mean a huge initial commitment. You can always sign up for lots of clubs, then drop out of the ones that aren’t fun for you. There’s likely to be lots of fun, free stuff at the school’s club fair, like stickers, snacks, and other things. Most colleges and universities have student organizations based around certain interests. You might find an anime club, or an astronomy club. Some clubs are for sharing and learning about other cultures, such as Spanish club or Chinese club.  Joining a club will allow you to meet other students who share your interests. Staying active in areas that you’re interested in help you to remain connected to your own passions. One of the best things about college is the chance to participate in events and activities that broaden your knowledge of the world. A club that allows you to move outside your comfort zone may turn out to be very fun.  For example, if you’re terrified about public speaking, consider joining the drama club. If you’ve never participated in team sports, think about joining an intramural sports team such as Ultimate Frisbee. If there isn’t a club around something that interests you, consider starting one of your own. You’ll have to register your club with the university either online or through a paper document. Once your club is confirmed, you’ll be listed in the university’s directory of clubs, and you’ll have access to campus buildings and equipment.  You might start a student club, a campus club (including students and faculty). or a community club (that includes students, faculty and community members). For example, one student noticed that there were student groups for other cultural minorities, but not for...

At the start of your turn, draw a card and check to see what is on it. Each card will either have one color square, two color squares, or a picture. Each of these cards allows you to do something different on your turn.  One color square: Move your pawn to the first color space on the board that matches the color square on the card you have drawn. Two color squares: Move your pawn to the second color space on the board that matches the color square on the card you have drawn. Picture: Move your pawn forward OR backward to the picture square that matches the picture card you have drawn. There are two shortcuts on the board that will allow you to move ahead faster if you land on one of these special spaces. The two shortcuts are located on Rainbow Trail and Gumdrop Pass.  The shortcut space on Rainbow Trail is orange and the one on Gumdrop Pass is yellow. If you land on one of these spaces, follow the shortcut path upwards to the space above it. You must land on the exact space to use a shortcut. You may not use a shortcut if you are just passing by it. There are three licorice spaces on the board. If you land on one of these spaces, then you lose a turn. Keep in mind that you do not lose a turn if you are just passing by a licorice space. You must land on the exact space to lose a turn. The first player who reaches the multi-colored rainbow space at the end of the board has made it to the candy castle. The player who makes it to the candy castle first wins the game! If you are playing with very young children, then you can use a rule variation that allows players to discard any cards that would send them backwards on the board. If a child draws a card that would send his or her gingerbread pawn backwards instead of forwards, then that child may simply discard the card and draw a new one. If you are playing with older children or adults, then you can use a rule variation that allows players to draw two card per turn and choose which one to use. This variation adds an element of strategy to the game play....

At the top of the coconut, there are three eyes or indentations. One of these is usually the weakest, so use a sharp knife to poke each one. When you find the eye that gives most easily, insert the knife into it to create a ½-inch (1.27-cm) hole. You can also use a metal skewer or screwdriver to poke a hole in the top of the coconut.

At the top of the letter, you should include the date. A couple lines down, include the salutation. If you do not know who you are addressing, then you can state “To whom it may concern”. If you are the applicant’s employer, then you should put the letter on company or organizational letterhead. Use the first paragraph to introduce yourself. State your name, profession, and relationship to the requestor. Also include your own citizenship status.  Also state how long you have known the requestor, referencing dates, locations, job titles, etc. Sample language might be: “My name is Reverend Michael Smith. I am a U.S. citizen and a pastor at the United Methodist Church of Boston, Massachusetts.” Alternately, if you are an employer, you would state, “I am Carol Smith, assistant director of human resources at ABC Corp., where I have supervised Andrea Smith for the past three years, from April 2012 to present.” In the second paragraph, you should provide specific examples that illustrate whatever the applicant is trying to prove to immigration officials. For example, the applicant may need a testimonial of good character traits to support naturalization or to avoid deportation. Alternately, the applicant might need you to establish that his or her romantic relationship is not a sham. Or, the applicant might need to prove that persecution in their home country caused trauma. Regardless of the content, try to be as concrete as possible.  You could write, “I have met few people with as much compassion as Rosa Martinez. After attending my church for only two weeks, she volunteered for the soup kitchen and within two months was the lead volunteer on the weekend shift. It was in this capacity that Ms. Martinez found herself alone with a man who was deeply depressed and suicidal. After calling me, she stayed with the man for two hours until I was able to summon medical personnel to assist.” You may also be called upon to write a letter about the requestor’s relationship with a spouse.

At the very bottom of the refrigerator, you may see a covering over the legs. Many times, this grille can be removed by pulling with your hands. Some grilles will be attached by clips or screws you’ll have to undo first. Consult your owner’s manual for advice when you’re unsure of how to remove the grille. Check the legs first for screws or bolts that you’ll need to adjust. While some legs can be rotated freely, some require a wrench or a screwdriver. Refrigerators made by GE, for example, require a flat blade screwdriver. Look along the top and bottoms of the legs. You’ll either see a slot near the top or a screw or bolt near the bottom. Use a flat-head screwdriver on the slots and an adjustable wrench or pliers on the bolt. Turn clockwise to raise the refrigerator. Turn counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator. Try to get the refrigerator level from left to right.  Legs without fasteners, such as those on Whirlpool refrigerators, can be turned to the right to lower the refrigerator and to the left to raise it. If you cannot reach the legs to adjust them, you’ll need someone to lean the refrigerator to the back. Be very careful and don’t tilt it back too far. Place the level on the top of the refrigerator behind the door. The level will be flat if the refrigerator is even from left to right. Adjust the legs to get the refrigerator even from left to right. Place the level against the bottom of the refrigerator. It should slope slightly to the back. Make sure the front is .25 inches (6.35 mm) higher than the back. Make adjustments to the front legs as necessary. Push the grille back onto the bottom of the refrigerator. Replace any clips or screws.

At this point you’ve defined your purpose, your goal, the audience and the unifying theme. As you go through possible photos for the portfolio, keep these things firmly in mind. Set aside all of the images that meet the criteria you’ve established.  Don’t worry about making any final decisions now. Just ask yourself if each photo meets the criteria or not. Sort the images into a “yes” and “no” pile. As you examine each image, think about whether or not it represents your chosen concept. Is the image strong enough to stand on its own without explanation? When viewed with other images, is it just as strong? Does it adequately display your mastery of the medium? Is it consistent with your main body of work? As you narrow it down further, keep in mind that the images you choose need to be consistent in format. In most cases, the final set should not be a mix of horizontal and vertical images. Be consistent with one or the other. The style should also be consistent throughout. For example, your portfolio shouldn't jump back and forth between crisp black and white shots and dreamy images printed in color. Get rid of images that are out of focus or that have visible flaws. It’s better to have a small number of exceptional shots than a large group of decent ones. Avoid including too many images that look very similar to one another. You need to include a variety of images that explore your theme.  For example, your portfolio shouldn’t consist of images that were all shot during the same session. Being able to weed out flawed and redundant images shows that you are able to properly evaluate your own work with a critical eye. It’s important to be able to evaluate your own work critically, but it will be difficult to be completely objective. Be as objective as you can, but consider getting an impartial opinion from someone you trust. Bring this person in when you’re in the final stages of selection.  Don’t reveal your concept or give the person any information upfront. See if they can pinpoint what you’re going for...

Go through your body of work. Assess the quality of each photo individually. Be consistent. Remove any flawed or repetitive images. Get the opinion of someone you trust.


At this point, do not attempt to touch her. Simply stand in front of her, slightly to her left, and offer her a treat with your open hand.  Desensitization starts with simply being present in the vicinity of your horse's face. She will learn to associate your presence with something positive. Work slowly, and allow the horse to direct the speed of progress. This will build trust. After doing this several times, bring the treat within six inches of her muzzle. Then, drop your hand. She'll likely follow your hand with her head. Say "Yes," or "Good Girl," and offer her the treat. Do this several times, so that she learns to connect your hand and your words (or, to her, sound) with the treat. When she has made the connection between your hand and the treat, she will expect it. You are teaching her to desire your hand, because it contains the treat.  Hold this hand, palm down, fingers wrapped around the treat. When your horse lowers her head toward your other hand, let her have the treat. Raising the head can be a sign of anxiety, and reinforcing a lowered head teaches her to be calm. Do not touch your horse, but simply hold your hand in place.  This will teach your horse that having your hand in this area, close to her head, isn't dangerous. Although currently, this is something fearful for your horse, she can learn that having someone's hand here isn't always bad. Repeat this many times over several days, until you're sure that your horse is aware of your hand and yet not bothered by it. Continue to wait until she lowers her head to reward her with a treat. When your horse has gained comfort with your hand near her head, you can start to touch her on her muzzle. Put your raised hand on the bridge of your horse's nose, below her eyes, as she eats her treat. Speak to her in a gentle, reassuring voice.  As your horse finishes eating, she may try to pull away. Try to keep your hand on her muzzle until she relaxes. At the moment she relaxes, say, "Yes" and pull your hand away. Repeat this step until your horse seems...

At this point, you may have noticed that your tongue moves/twists more easily on one side of your mouth than the other. This is most likely your dominant side, and it will be easier for your to turn your tongue upside down on this side. Chances are this action will feel foreign to you at first, but with practice it will become more natural. You may need to exercise your tongue's flexibility before you are able to orient your tongue so that the opposite edges meet horizontally toward the corner of your mouth. When you have successfully mastered this, your taste buds (the top of your tongue) will be pointed toward the corner of the mouth on the side of your mouth which you feel most comfortable. Using your upper teeth, gently begin twisting your tongue farther toward the bottom of your mouth. Try to hold this position for several seconds before releasing.  As you become more comfortable twisting your tongue in this fashion, start attempting to make the motion without using your teeth. In this way, you will train the muscles of your tongue in a new range of motion. When you can roll your tongue and twist it so that your taste buds are oriented mostly toward the bottom of your mouth, you have successfully rolled your tongue upside down, though you may only be able to hold this position for a few seconds at first. More practice will give you more control. Without using your fingers or teeth, roll your tongue and twist it in the direction most comfortable to you. If you can control this position, holding it for several seconds, you have successfully trained the muscles of your tongue to perform the upside down tongue roll.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Evaluate each side of your mouth. Twist your tongue onto its side. Use your teeth to guide your tongue. Hold your upside down roll.


At this stage, you need to be patient and watch the progress. If your female is pregnant, she should start "showing" within a few days, and by the time she's ready to give birth will have very prominent "saddlebags" on each side. You don't need to do anything special, just avoid holding the hamster roughly and leave the hamster alone.  You will know the babies will be born soon when the female becomes particularly restless. She wanders around her cage, gathering food and nesting material for her nest. Then labor begins: you see her sides starting to heave and tiny pink bodies begin to emerge. One by one, they are born while she is on the move in her cage, and one by one, she carefully picks them up in her mouth and brings them back to the nest. When the hamster gives birth, do not attempt to interfere or help in any way. Birth, especially the first birth, is often difficult on the hamster, but there's nothing you can do to help at this point. Just avoid interference and let nature take its course. It is during this time and the days that follow that you must take extra care not to disturb her. If she leaves any pups lying around the cage, you must not touch them. If for some reason you must, rub a spoon well into the substrate, then scoop them up in it and return them to the nest. Leave her, the cage, and especially her babies alone, except for discreetly topping up her food and water. This is particularly important for the first time mother, who under stress, has been known to kill and even eat her babies.  Don't assume the mother is eating the babies if she puts them in her mouth. This happens if she is startled and thinks they are in danger. At this point, it's safe to separate the new hamsters and determine their genders. They become sexually mature at 5-6 weeks, and you do not want sibling breeding, that will cause genetic disorders. Keep females in one cage, males in another for another two to three weeks until they go to their new homes.

Wait. Look for the babies. Allow the mother to nurse for three weeks without any disturbance, not even cleaning the cage. Wait three and a half weeks.


At times when your newborn is awake, encourage activity through talking, singing, or some form of playing with her. Stimulating a baby during the day may promote better sleep patterns at night. Since newborns often sleep for significant portions of the day, engage your baby while she is awake as best you can. Pull her close and sing to her or look directly at her when you are talking to her. An excellent time to do this is when you are feeding, dressing, or changing your baby’s diaper. Establishing a fixed bedtime and having a relaxing nighttime routine can significantly help your newborn sleep. These elements can relax him and regulate his circadian rhythms, helping to cue him when to fall asleep at night.  Consider factors like naps, feedings, and you’re your baby’s age when setting his bedtime.  Establish a reasonable bedtime, knowing that your newborn will require feedings during the night (again, newborns feed every two to four hours). For example, you might want to have his bedtime close to yours so that you can both get an optimal amount of sleep.  Be flexible with the schedule as necessary. Your newborn may need time to shift into sleep mode. Encouraging relaxation and sleep about an hour before her bedtime helps signal her body and brain that it’s time to go to sleep.  Keep your newborn away from bright lights and loud noises.  Dim the lights anywhere you and your newborn may be. This signals her that it’s time to sleep.  Your baby may fuss and cry as she finds a comfortable position in your arms. If this is the case, speak to her and rub her back, which can relax and reassure her. Your baby may have a difficult time falling asleep or settling down. Giving him a pacifier may soothe him and help him more easily fall and stay asleep. In addition, research suggests that sucking on a pacifier during sleep can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Having a nightly ritual can further cue your newborn that  it's time for bed. Do activities such as taking a bath, reading a story, singing,...

Engage your newborn. Set a fixed bedtime. Encourage relaxation and sleep. Give your newborn a pacifier. Follow a consistent bedtime routine. Create a comfortable sleeping environment. Put her to sleep drowsy. Avoid co-sleeping. Stimulate your baby only as necessary.


At work, you need to minimize external distractions. If you don't have your own office, this might be difficult. If this is a problem, try to see if there is an empty conference room where you can work, especially if you have a big project you're working on that needs to get done. If you can't, change your work space to make it more conducive to work. Move your desk to face the wall, keep clutter off of your desk, and stay away from chatty coworkers. If it still is a problem, see if it's possible to use noise-cancelling headphones or a sound machine to drown out all the other distractions. ADHD can make large projects seem daunting and overwhelming, which often causes adults with ADHD to look for an escape route. Instead of giving in to the panic, break down your task into manageable chunks. You can break them up into units as small as necessary to make you more comfortable. If you boss or professor gives you a project that is due in a month, break it up into daily tasks that need to get done. Write down what has to happen each day and highlight them once you are done.  If daily tasks are still too daunting, try giving yourself hourly tasks instead. Write them out in the same way and do them as they come up. Once you've completed each task within the time frame, congratulate yourself and give yourself a small reward. Make sure it is brief and doesn't interfere with the task at hand, but acknowledge your good work. It may be easier to cope with projects and maintain schedules if you make yourself accountable to another person. At work, find a trusted coworker, supervisor, or mentor to help keep you on track. If you are using any other coping strategies, let them know so she can ask you about your progress. At home, ask your partner, spouse, a family member, or trusted neighbor to help. Make sure you break down what exactly you need her to do. If necessary, give them lists of the things you are working on to make sure you have to answer to someone about them. Whether at home or at work, you need an organized...

Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that most often appears in childhood. It is related to environmental allergies, hay fever, and asthma, meaning that if you develop one of these conditions, you are more likely to develop the other conditions. Atopic dermatitis is an immune response. Typically, an irritant (called the "precipitant" or immediate cause) comes into contact with your body. The body gets confused and overreacts, causing inflammation of the skin even in areas that weren't exposed. If you develop acute (short-term) eczema, you may see small, red, itchy bumps on your skin. There might also be some swelling and scaling. If the eczema continues, the symptoms may reach the chronic stage, developing into itchy, thicker patches of skin that turn brownish or reddish. In addition, the bumps may weep, meaning they produce liquid. You may also have scaly, dry skin. Atopic dermatitis can come and go over time. When the symptoms are worse, it's called a flare-up. However, you can go for long periods when you may exhibit no symptoms. This condition is not contagious, meaning you can't catch it by coming in contact with someone who has it. However, it can be passed genetically from parent to child. This condition can cause problems with your vision. If you think your vision is being affected by a recent flare-up, always speak with your doctor. One way it affects your vision is the skin around your eyes can be red and puffy, making it difficult to see. However, this disease has also been linked to a higher occurrence of cataracts and spontaneous retinal detachment, even when treated.

Understand the basics. Know the symptoms. Learn how eczema acts. Understand how atopic dermatitis is passed. Be aware how atopic dermatitis can affect your vision.


Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a common skin condition that is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis include intense itching, scaly patches on the elbows, knees, hands, and upper torso, small bumps that might ooze fluid, and swollen, sensitive skin. If you think you may have eczema, visit your doctor for an official diagnosis.  Many patients develop symptoms before age 5, and in many cases symptoms lessen or disappear in adulthood. If you or anyone in your genetic family has had similar rashes, asthma, or hay fever, then your chances of getting eczema are higher. Atopic dermatitis can be aggravated by a number of things, so take note of allergens and irritants that trigger your symptoms or make them worse so you can actively avoid or minimize your contact with them. Your doctor can also conduct tests that will help you find the specific causes. A few common triggers of eczema include:  Perfumes, dyes, and cosmetics Dust, sand, and dust mites Chlorine, mineral oil, solvents, and other strong chemicals Animal fur or dander Cigarette smoke Pollen Food you or your doctor suspect you may be allergic to Excessive bathing without moisturizing Low humidity Emotional stress Your skin getting overheated Wool and other rough material can exacerbate atopic dermatitis. Tight-fitting clothing or clothing that makes you sweat can also aggravate your eczema and make your symptoms worse. Choose loose-fitting clothing that also promotes air flow to your skin. Bathing, showering, or swimming more than 2–3 times a week can dry out your skin and trigger a rash. Avoid using hot water or any harsh or scented soaps and cleansers to keep your skin from drying out and your symptoms from getting worse.  Add soothing products to your bath such as uncooked oatmeal, colloidal oatmeal, or baking soda to help relieve your skin. Gently pat dry with a towel after bathing. Don't rub hard or vigorously or you’ll dry out your skin. Apply a moisturizing ointment or cream immediately after...

Keep yourself cool to prevent sweating. Find ways to reduce your stress to prevent outbreaks. Talk to a dermatologist about prescription-strength treatments.


Attach 2 boards to each other with 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) screws to create a corner post, then repeat the process to make 4 corner posts per base module. Screw boards horizontally into the tops and bottoms of the corner posts to create a box frame. Finish by screwing boards across the bottom of the box where you want to include cabinets.  Use a circular saw to cut your plywood boards to the right sizes. You'll want your bases' total height to be about 38 inches (97 cm), but you'll need to factor in your the height of your countertop when you cut your plywood posts. Subtract your countertop height from 38 inches (97 cm) to find the right height for your corner posts. To create cube-shaped modules, make your horizontal boards the same size as your corner posts. You could make multiple modules, place on on each side of your standing grill, and add others to create a peninsula. If you have a built-in or drop-in grill, purchase an insulated jacket that fits the grill. Build a smaller plywood box frame to fit the grill jacket's dimensions, so the jacket will sit at the top of the box. The grill will fit into the jacket on this module, then you'll place your full-height modules on either side. An insulated jacket is needed to contain the heat produced by the grill. If you already have a standing grill, you can just build your cabinet modules and place them around your grill. After building your box frame, cut plywood panels to match the box's dimensions. Use a jigsaw to cut out spaces in the panels for cabinets. Apply a bead of woodworking glue across the plywood posts on one face of the box, press a plywood panel onto the face, then secure it with screws. Glue and screw on the plywood panels onto the other 3 faces of the box, leaving the top and bottom open. After sheathing your frame with plywood panels, cover each side with builder's felt. Secure to the plywood with staples every 6 inches (15 cm). Remember to include cutouts for cabinets in the felt to match those cut into the plywood panels. Feel for the side of...

Attach the left door panel, centered on the left vertical post. Glue it to the post and to the base, and make sure it is straight across the bottom. Allow to dry. The TARDIS opens inward, so attach the hinges to the inside of the right door panel. Center the door panel on the right vertical post, then attach the hinges to that post. Test to make sure it opens smoothly. Attach one window panels to the left door panel, gluing it in place on the panel, the post, and the ceiling. For the swinging door panel, glue only the bottom of the window. Attach the long vertical strip to the left door panel so that the right edge of the strip is flush with the right edge of the door panel. Attach the long vertical strip to the right door panel so that the left edge of the strip is flush with the left edge of the door. Starting at .05u from the bottom of the door panel, make a mark every .5u. Do this on each side of the vertical trim pieces, and on the outer edges of the door panels. Attach a horizontal trim piece at each point, as was done with the side trim.

Attach the yarn to your crochet hook using a slipknot and create a foundation chain. Your foundation chain needs to have five stitches more than the number of double treble crochets you want in your first row.  For example, if you want to create a row of 10 double treble crochets, you need to start with a foundation chain made of 15 chain stitches. If you do not know how to make a chain stitch or a slipknot, please check the "Tips" section for additional help. Skip over the first five stitches next to your hook and work one standard double treble crochet into the sixth stitch. Use the same method described in the "Double Treble Crochet Stitch" section of the article.  Yarn over three times. Insert the hook into the stitch to be worked. In this case, it is the sixth stitch. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over back through to the front of the stitch to create a loop. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over through two loops. Repeat three more times: yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops. This completes the stitch. Work one double treble crochet into each chain of your foundation chain. Continue doing this until you reach the end of the chain.  To complete a straight row, only make one double treble crochet per stitch. Once you reach the end of the chain, you have completed a first full row of double treble crochet.

Attach your base color to the crochet hook with a slipknot, then work 12 chain stitches from the loop.  See the "Tips" section if you need instructions on forming slip knots or chain stitches. You will use two yarn colors for this project: a base color and an accent color. For now, start with your base color. For your first row, you will crochet up one side of the chain, then back down the other side. The top of the chain will be larger than the bottom and will eventually form the toe area of the sole.  Single crochet three times in the second chain away from the hook. If you do not know how to single crochet, check the "Tips" section for instructions.  Single crochet once in each of the next six chains. Half double crochet once in each of the next three chains. Check the "Tips" section for information about the half double crochet.  Half double crochet seven times in the last chain. This completes one side of the chain. Work your way back down the chain, starting with one half double crochet in each of the next three stitches. Single crochet once in each of the next six stitches. Single crochet twice in the last stitch. Slip stitch this last stitch to the first single crochet from the other side. Check the "Tips" section for instructions on making the slip stitch. Your second row will consist of single crochets and half double crochets, much like your first row. In the process, you will work all the way around the perimeter of the sole.  Chain one. Single crochet once into the same stitch. Single crochet twice into the next stitch. Single crochet once into each of the next six stitches. Half double crochet once into each of the next four stitches. Half double crochet twice into each of the next three stitches.

Attempt light activity, such as stretching and walking, only when you start to feel better. If stretching, bearing weight, or any other activity cause pain, stop doing it immediately.  For mild strains, it could take up to 5 days before you're able to begin stretching and walking. For moderate to severe strains or sprains, it could take 10 days or more.  If you saw a doctor for your injury, follow their instructions for stretching and exercising your muscle. Don't overexert yourself, and stop stretching if you experience pain. Inhale as you move into a stretch, exhale as you hold the stretch, and use slow, steady motions instead of bouncing or jerking. Remember it's best to consult your doctor before stretching or resuming activity, especially if you've suffered a moderate to severe strain or sprain. Do easy stretches for three days then, if you don't experience pain, gradually work your way up to more demanding activities. If your quadriceps, or front thigh muscles, were affected, stand up straight and bend your knee backward to bring your heel toward your rear end. Place your hand on a wall to keep your balance, and hold the stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Do a set of three stretches three times a day. To stretch your hamstring, or the back of your thigh, lie on your back with your knees slightly bent. Keeping your knee bent, bring your leg toward your chest until you feel a gentle stretch at the back of your thigh. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds, and do a set of three stretches one to two times a day. To gently stretch your calf muscles, sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Pull your toes and foot toward your torso until you feel a stretch in your calf. Hold the stretch for 2 seconds, then do a total of 10 to 20 repetitions. After three days of light stretching with no pain, you can slowly start getting back to your normal activities. Try doing easy squats and lunges, and go for 15 or 20 minute walks. Gradually move on to more demanding activities, such as jogging or running, after a...

Attempt to get in the right head space if you know an argument is about to ensue. You can train your brain to stay calm in just about any situation, whether you’re facing the boss about work troubles or heading home to a heated discussion.  Look online for games and puzzles that encourage and train mental flexibility. Engaging in these activities regularly can help you stay calm under pressure.  For example, if you had a heated discussion with your partner at lunch, and you promised to finish the discussion later, you may anticipate a disagreement later. Use the time in between to prepare yourself for the discussion. It's important to know your audience before walking into a debate. To consider how to present your point of view to them the most effectively, think about who they are—your boss, colleague, parent, friend—and base your case from there. For instance, you may want to act more formal with your boss than you would your parent. On the other hand, your friend may respond to a softer and more personable approach. Create the potential conversation in your head and ask yourself how the person will likely respond. Preparing your comebacks ahead of time can help you feel more confident and less stressed going in.  Also come up with a few fact-based statements that can help your argument end on a positive note.  For example, you might choose to say, "We are on the same side here." or "We love each other, so I know we can come to an agreement." One of the benefits of heading into an argument you know you’re about to face is having the ability to think about how to solve the problem ahead of time. Suggest ways you could possibly explore solutions, if you can’t think of anything solid on your own. For instance, you might say, "Why don't we both take 20 minutes to jot down some possible solutions? We can meet back up and go over what we came up with. How does that sound?"

Prepare yourself mentally. Consider the other person's point of view. Decide what you’re going to say. Start with a resolution in mind.


Attempting to apply varnish to a painting before it is totally dry will create a mess and possibly ruin your work. Oil paintings should cure for several months before they are ready, while acrylic paintings should be completely dry in 24 hours. A wide, flat, and soft brush is ideal for varnishing. To keep impurities out, dedicate a brush solely to varnishing, not painting. Clean it after each use. You will also need some artist-quality varnish (for acrylics or oils, depending on your paints), and a shallow tray to pour the varnish into.

Attempting to dye your hair platinum blonde by yourself is a bad idea. The process tends to be very long, and involves a lot of chemicals that can seriously damage your hair if you don’t know what you’re doing. You may be able to go blonde out of a box, but to achieve truly silver hair you should enlist a stylist’s help. This can get expensive, but it’s not something you want to skimp on unless you want to risk ending up with fried, orange hair, and a burning scalp. If you have very light blonde hair to begin with, you may be an exception to this rule. In this case, a quality toner applied to your hair may be enough to get silver hair. Even so, if you have never used toner before, it is highly recommended that you go to a stylist the first time around, so they can show you the ropes. You might be surprised at how many shades of white and silver there are. Bringing in a photograph to show your stylist will help ensure you get exactly what you want. It will probably take a few sessions to get your hair truly silver. This is especially true if you have naturally dark hair or have colored your hair before. You should also be prepared for the process to be painful, as the bleach often creates a burning sensation on the scalp. Don’t expect to be in and out of the salon in an hour. Keep your schedule free on the day of your appointment, and be prepared for it to take a while. Don’t panic if you don’t see ideal results the first time. You may need to lighten your hair to a darker blonde first, then gradually lift to silver.

Choose an event or cause that you can support, and go with a positive mindset to meet new friends and to have fun. Make it a point to get out there and talk to people. If you see someone you're interested in, go up to them and start a conversation.  There are Pride events that happen all throughout the year in most major cities. Search online for LGBTQ events coming up in your area. Some of the largest LGBTQ events include Madrid Gay Pride, NYC Pride, the São Paulo Gay Pride Parade, and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. There are many online dating sites that you can use to find eligible singles that live around you. These websites require you to create an account and answer questions to fill out a personal profile. Dating websites are more in depth and are better for starting a serious relationship. You can also try dating apps on your mobile device to find singles in your area. Apps are designed to be quicker and more to the point. If you are looking just to have fun or meet new people, apps are a better way to connect with a higher number of people in your area.  Some of the best sites for gay men include Zoosk, BeNaughty, and Match.com.  Some of the best apps for dating include Grindr, Scruff, and GROWLr. However, most of the men on these apps are just looking for casual sex, not a serious relationship.  When creating a profile on a dating app, make sure to concentrate on the quality and variety of the pictures that you use. For gay men, shooting a photo outdoors or showing off toned arms will increase the chances of someone liking your profile.  Don't try to start a lengthy conversation via text before meeting someone in person. It's good to meet on dating sites, but it must translate to a real date. Do a search online and find the most popular gay bars in your area. Read reviews on each of the bars and choose an ambiance that best suits your personality. If you...

Attending a fancy event doesn’t mean that you have to worry about tripping in your stilettos, losing your pashmina, or tolerating heavy earrings. Select your accessories based on  how they can help you be comfortable. Since your strapless dress necessarily exposes quite a bit of skin, it’s a good idea to bring along some kind of cover-up.  Stash it in your purse just in case, or don it at home and make it part of your outfit.  Even if you are attending a summertime event, a gauzy cover-up can come in handy in case of gusty winds or rain showers.  For cooler seasons, throw on a fur stole, cardigan, or blanket scarf.  If you have trouble matching separates, ask the salesperson for help in selecting a cover up at the same time as you’re shopping for your strapless dress.  Already own the dress but still need the cover up?  Bring a picture of the dress and your friendly salesperson can still assist! If you’re anxious about exposing your arms, shop for a matching cardigan or lightweight jacket at the same time as you purchase your dress.  This will allow you to experiment with lots of options and ensure that you find a combination you feel confident wearing for the entire event. If you have other trouble spots, think creatively. Sport an eye-catching necklace that will draw attention to your face if you feel insecure about your body. Wrap a scarf around your neck if you have scars or wrinkles on your décolletage, and pop some high heels on your feet if you struggle with stocky legs in order to make them appear longer and leaner. No matter what you’re doing or where you’re going, you’ll need some kind of vessel in which to carry your essentials.  If you’ll be dancing or travelling from place to place, or if your prone to misplacing things, select a clutch with a strap. You can still be stylish if you have a lot of things you need to carry with you.  Whether you’re a new mom who needs a diaper bag or a professional continuously saddled with her computer, you can find the right slouchy hobo bag or tote that...

Review the event’s details and think about how you’ll likely be spending your time at the event. Bundle up with a stylish wrap. Camouflage your trouble spots. Snag the right bag. Protect your eyes if you’ll be outside.


Attics are common hiding places, but difficult to search thoroughly and stealthily. Try looking when you're home alone, but be very careful not to step where there is not a board. You don't want to bust through the ceiling and leave incriminating evidence you can't possibly cover. If you're not allowed to use their car, that makes it a perfect hiding spot. Pretend to forget something out there after a car trip and search quickly. There are only so many places to hide items in the car, so look to the most obvious spots.  The glove box is an obvious pick for hiding something. If you're searching for something small like keys or a remote, try the glove box. An arm rest area is another obvious hiding spot. Sift through the oil change print outs and the car registration to find thin items like cards, phones, and games. Pop the trunk. There is usually a button to get it open. Larger items can be hidden very easily in the trunk. More than likely your parents have a few things they like to do in their spare time. Those items provide good hiding spots because they check back often, and know when things are out of order.  Golf bags are a perfect, deep spot for longer gifts. If you suspect you're getting a baseball bat, that's an ideal location. If your father does a lot of yard work, or your mother does a lot of gardening, their tools are probably pretty dirty. They may think you'll be less likely to look among these items, and that's why they will use that spot to hide things. Crossword puzzles and Sudoku books are a great spot for thin items like gift cards, pictures, and concert tickets. In many air ducts, there is a deep reservoir to push items back. If they use this location, it's more than likely going to be a short-term hiding spot. They wouldn't want to block the air-flow into the house for very long.  Large presents or items need somewhere big enough to conceal the size of the item. Check the largest air return first. Small vents often have quick turns in them. A shorter item would likely fall into the...

Climb up to the attic. Jump in the car. Think about your parents' hobbies. Look in ventilation ducts.


Attics need R30 insulation (at least) to keep heat out in summer and heat indoors in winter. In the long run, you can save money in both seasons by insulating your attic. Just make sure you get the right insulation; if it is not rated high enough or not thick enough it can allow the summer heat down into the house. If you have an attic, buy half inch plywood and lay it in between the trusses over the insulation. It will give you a walking/storage surface as well as enhancing your ability to block heat transfer. Insulation alone doesn't stop the heat from going into your house; it only delays the transfer until the attic cools at night when the heat flow slows down. Leaking windows and single pane glass let cold out and heat in. Consider Low E glass for window replacements and double or even triple-paned windows.. This will keep you cooler in summer by not letting the cold air warm up and warmer in the summer by not letting the hot air "leak" out. If there are any cracks or space between the windows and the walls, that's hot and cool air escaping like sands through an hourglass. Even if you don't upgrade your glass, make sure to cover any structural spots that need taken care of. There are a number of things you can do to your house that can keep it cool. Consider painting walls white or another really light color as light doesn't absorb a lot of heat like darker colors do. This goes for your roof, too – though a white roof may seem a little less than fashionable. You could also consider adding awnings or even extending the roof line so that the sun, in the summer, is blocked by the roof and is prevented from entering the windows. If the air conditioner is big enough to cool the whole house then air circulation is most likely the trouble. Hot air rises and cold air sinks. By replacing the register covers with register/fan units more cold air is forced out of the upstairs ducts. These units can be purchased at large hardware stores or home-centers. Try adding a couple of ceiling fans in the upstairs rooms or...

Attraction is key to most romantic relationships. If you're involved with someone romantically, you'll eventually become intimate physically. Spend some time considering the level of physical attraction you feel for this person.  Think about how you feel about the person in a physical sense. Do you feel attraction? Do you think it's mutual? If so, there may be potential for a romantic relationship here. Keep in mind mutual attraction should not be the deciding factor. Friends often feel mutual attraction towards one another that is sometimes similar to romantic attraction. For example, you may long for and miss a friend when he or she is gone. Try to evaluate whether the attraction you feel for this person is physical as well as romantic. Do you find yourself laughing and smiling with this person? Do you look forward to dates and get togethers? Do the two of you have similar interests and passions that you pursue together? If so, this could be a good foundation for a romance. If you're having mixed feelings, however, evaluate whether the fun you have together feels romantic. Friends often make each other laugh and have fun together. If you don't feel a romantic spark during fun times, this relationship may be better suited for friendship. As you spend time with someone, you should begin to feel deeply close to that person. You should be able to share your feelings, thoughts, and concerns with this person openly. If you're struggling to feel close, or the closeness feels more like friendship, this person may not be a suitable romantic partner for you. Common goals are important to a romantic relationship. This is one thing that helps differentiate a romantic relationship from a friendship. Friends do not necessarily have the same goals. A romantic partner, however, should have similar goals to you if the two of you are compatible.  Think about longterm goals. Do you and this person have similar ambitions? Do you see a similar kind of future in regards to things like marriage and children? These things are...

Attributes are placed within the tag itself, making additional alterations to the "element content" between the start and end tag. They never stand alone. They are written in the format name="value", where name is the name of the attribute (for instance "color"), and value describes this specific instance (for instance "red"). You've actually seen attributes before, if you followed the tutorial in the basic HTML section.  tags use the src attribute, anchors use the name attribute, and links use the href attribute. See how those all follow the ___="___" format? Making a table, or chart, requires several different tags. Play with these tags, or learn about HTML tables in more detail.  Start with table tags around the entire table:

  Row tags around the contents of each row:
  Column headers in the first row:   Cells in subsequent rows:   Here's an example of how it all fits together:

Column 1: Month	Column 2: Money Saved

January	$100

 You've already learned the  tag, which shows up at the start of each document. Besides the <title> tag, it can include the following types of tags:   Meta tags, which are used to provide metadata about a web page. This data can be used by search engines when the robot scours the internet to locate and list websites. To make your website more visible on search engines, use one or more <meta> start tags (no end tags necessary), each with exactly one name attribute and one content attribute, for example: <meta name="description" content="write a description here">; or <meta name="keywords" content="write a list of keywords, each separated by a comma"> <link> tags are used to associate other files with the page. This is mainly used to link to CSS stylesheets, which are made using a different type of coding to alter your HTML page by adding color, aligning your text, and many other things.

Audio extractors typically have two HDMI ports on opposite sides, as well as audio-out ports for either optical, 3.5mm stereo, or RCA audio cables. You can find audio extractors online or in some tech department stores.  Make sure your extractor's audio output (e.g., RCA) matches your speakers' audio input. Be aware that the audio quality you will receive from an audio extractor will be inferior to the quality you would receive from plugging into your speakers. This cable must match your extractor's audio output and your speakers' audio input. The TV cable that came with your PS4 is an HDMI cable, but you'll need an extra one to connect the audio extractor to the TV. This cable goes in the "HDMI" slot that's on the left side of the back of the PS4 while you're facing it, and the "Audio In" HDMI port on the extractor. This HDMI cable connects from the audio extractor's "Audio Out" port to the TV's HDMI port. The audio cable will connect from the extractor's audio output to the speakers' audio input. You should be able to hear the PS4 menu music through your speakers after a moment. If you don't hear anything, adjust your speakers' volume.

Audition for singing competitions near and far. Talent shows and local competitions are a great place to begin, but eventually move on to bigger competitions like American Idol, The Voice, America’s Got Talent, and the X-Factor. The directions to enter these big competitions can be found on their websites. You can send in your audition tape, and go there in person and perform a live audition. These are sites that don't initially involve record companies at all. They offer artists an independent outlet to getting their music out to the public.   TuneCore.com allows you to publish your song or album on their website for a price, but then you get to keep all the rights and royalties to the music you distributed. This is an easy way to bypass problems that musicians often have with dealing with record labels. You have to put in some promotional effort, but once your material gets noticed, it could serve as a good springboard to starting your singing career.  WeeklyIndie.com allows musicians to upload their music, and then the best 10 songs of the week get sent to the website’s paying subscribers. This is a really competitive website, but if your music is chosen, it could launch your singing career into something bigger and better.

Auditory learners learn by hearing and listening. Auditory learners are able to understand, analyze, and remember information after they have heard it. Auditory learners use language to learn. They can follow oral directions well, prefer listening to lectures, enjoy participating in discussions, and do well working in cooperative groups. One useful way for auditory learners to cement what they have just learned is to teach it to someone else. By teaching a topic you have just learned to someone else, you are able to talk through the problem by identifying the key points that someone else would have to know to learn it as well. Ask a friend if you can talk to them about a topic that you just learned about. If they are familiar with the topic, ask them to pretend that they have no prior knowledge of the topic. The questions that they ask you about a topic will help you to think through what you have just learned. Auditory learners listen carefully to what someone else is saying when they are learning about a topic. For example, they tend to do well in lecture style classrooms and learning environments. Auditory learners can benefit from seeking out audio information to learn.  Many universities will post lectures online for the public to enjoy. These are great sources of information from world-class experts and are free to listen to. Podcasts are also becoming increasingly available for people with smartphones and Internet access. Look at your local library for tapes and CDs that relate to a topic you want to learn. Audiobooks are also a great option for auditory learners. Repetition is an important factor in memorization. Repeating key pieces of information out loud, either with flashcards or using memory recall, allows learners to process information that they have already learned and commit it to memory.  Many auditory learners find themselves talking to themselves or mouthing words when they are processing information. If you find yourself doing this, make sure you are in an environment where you won’t...

Audrey Hepburn often wore her hair in an elegant French Twist with a slight bouffant. Sweep all your hair to one side and twist your hair up into the opposite direction that you swept it. Insert pins to hold the hair in place, and tuck loose ends into the twist.  Use hairspray to hold the twist in place. This hairstyle is ideal for long hair. If your haircut is shoulder-length or shorter, try a half-up/half down hairstyle or a pixie cut. While filming Bloodline in 1979, Audrey Hepburn wore her hair in a neat bun. Pull your hair back into a high ponytail, securing it with a hair tie. Then, wrap your hair in a spiral around the base of the ponytail and secure the bun with bobby pins. Again, spritz the bun with hairspray for a sleek look. Buns come in many different styles. After you've mastered the classic bun, you can try a messy bun, ballerina bun, or a braided bun. Headscarves were a go-to for Audrey Hepburn; in fact, she even sported one at her wedding to Andrea Dotti. Buy a few headscarves in different colors to wear on days when you don't feel like styling your hair. You could also adapt a regular scarf into a head scarf. In the 1950s, Audrey Hepburn popularized pixie cuts for women.  With a little bravery and confidence, you can wear a pixie cut, too. Bring in a picture to your hairdresser so they know what you're looking for. Accessorize your pixie cut with a headband or with bobby pins to give your hair extra "oomph." Pixie cuts may seem easier to style than longer haircuts, but they are still high-maintenance. Research different ways to style your pixie cut beforehand so you're ready for the upkeep.

Wear your hair in a french twist. Tie your hair up in a bun. Wear a headscarf. Get a pixie cut.


Audrey Hepburn wore clothes that never really went out of style. Avoid following the latest trends in fashion. Instead, stick to the basics. One of Audrey's best-known outfits was the little black dress she wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Choose clothing that is timeless and durable so you can wear them for decades. Because Audrey was already quite tall, she usually wore a pair of flats. Buy several pairs of flats, especially a black pair for any occasion. If you wear heels, choose a short and understated pair. Audrey Hepburn generally wore neutral colors, like black, beige, and white. These three colors don't go out-of-style and can work in most occasions. Hepburn also wore pink for a splash of vibrancy on occasion. By focusing on one color in her outfits, she was able to highlight her figure. Stay away from loud or busy designs, which will draw attention away from your natural beauty. Instead, pay attention to fit. Audrey Hepburn's clothes complimented her figure well. Record your body measurements, know what your body type is, and try on clothes before you buy them to ensure a good fit. Ignore clothing sizes, as these can vary between companies. A small at one brand could be a medium elsewhere, or vice-versa. Focus on measurements and sizing charts. Audrey Hepburn cultivated an elfish and delicate beauty, which you can mirror by bringing attention to the delicate parts of your body. Choose high-waisted pants or a midriff belt to draw eyes to your waist. Three-quarter length shirts can make your wrists stand out. Halter necklines can draw attention to your neck and shoulders. Audrey Hepburn also liked wearing scarves to draw attention to the neck.  Buy several in neutral colors and accessorize as needed. Audrey is known best for wearing a string of pearls around her neck, a formal look that never goes out of fashion. But don't overload yourself with lots of clunky jewelry. Choose one item to wear at a time so it stands out.  A pair of large, dark sunglasses is also acceptable, as Audrey often sported a pair...

Authentic logos are usually placed on the lens, arms, or inside the ear piece and use consistent size, font, and colors.  Any slight error or variation could indicate your sunglasses are fake.  Misspelled brand names (e.g. "Guci" instead of "Gucci" and logos are also an indication that the glasses may be fake.  Before you purchase sunglasses, go to the manufacturer website and look at the markings and logos.  This will help you when you make a purchase. Model number are consistent worldwide no matter whether you purchase the sunglasses online or in a store. Go the manufacturer website to verify the model number of the sunglasses.  The model number is usually found on the frames of the glasses.  Fake sunglasses may have model numbers that are not listed on the manufacturer website. Authentic sunglasses are usually sold by an authorized website, boutique, or store. Street vendors are most likely selling counterfeit items.  If the price is deeply discounted and sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay away from websites that do not take returns and offer no way (e.g. phone number, email address, etc.) for you to contact them.  China is hotbed for counterfeit production.  Be careful when purchasing items made in China. If you purchase from a website, check out the buyers rate and the sellers' reviews. A web site selling authentic sunglasses will often have a guarantee of authenticity. Your sunglasses should look and feel like they are well made. Words like "high quality," "cosmetic," "replica," "inspired by," are often used to when glasses are not authentic.  Take note if you see any of these words being used to describe the seller or the glasses.  In addition to the glasses being fake, they may shatter easily and not offer you UV protection. This guarantees that they will be authentic.

Examine the label and logo. Look for a model number. Buy from a reputable seller. Recognize key words. When shopping for sunglasses on Amazon, look for "Sold and shipped by Amazon".
