With your practice and preparation for the match behind you, let your experience in practice give you confidence and strength during the competition. If things don’t go your way, staying composed and level-headed will limit damage and allow you to center yourself. A good way to stay composed is to take a few deep breaths while remembering your training. This will slow down your heart rate and give you a boost of confidence. Stay focused on the way your opponent is reacting to what you’re doing and, if something is working, keep doing it. Exploit what has worked in the match already and stay confident in your strategy.  Pay close attention to what part of the court your opponent feels most comfortable in, and try taking them out of their comfort zone as often as possible. Use your best serve patterns at important points in the game, like on game points, to have confidence during integral moments in the match. Notice whether your opponent prefers playing at a hard, aggressive pace, or if they prefer a slower game. Determine the pacing of the game by accelerating the match speed or slowing it down when you can, both during play and in between sets. Determining the speed will throw your opponent off and make them uncomfortable, giving you a significant advantage. Implement a ritual in between shots that is comfortable and natural. This ritual will help you find a rhythm and will keep you in a state of flow throughout the match. Once you find your ritual, whether it be verbal or physical, do not stray from it in between play.  Your ritual could consist of a verbal que or a physical movement, both working to keep you composed and in a clear head space. If you need inspiration, observe some professional tennis players and see what they use as rituals. Some may spin their racquet in a specific way between every point, or bounce the ball a specific number of times before each serve. During the match, look for signs of your opponent being frustrated or upset. These cues could take the form of a deep sigh, shaking of...

Observe your opponent and look for their emotional cues. Be aware of where your opponent is most comfortable. Win each match to move on in the tournament. Stay hydrated and calm in between matches.

Within 3 to 6 hours of a chigger biting you, the signs and symptoms will appear. The symptoms include red welts, itching, swelling, and fever. While the symptoms usually go away within 1 week, scratching the welts will prolong the length of time you will experience these symptoms. Avoid scratching the welts to ensure a quick recovery. If you break the skin, your risk of contracting a secondary infection increases. Chigger bites are extremely itchy. To combat your desire to scratch, apply an over the counter anti-itch cream, such as menthol or calamine lotion. Antihistamine pills can also provide temporary itch relief. When you apply anti-itch cream or take an antihistamine pill, always follow the product instructions. When applied directly to bites, cold compresses can provide temporary relief from itching. Wrap ice in a thin towel. Hold the compress against the affected area for 10 minutes at a time. Space out the use of the compress to prevent skin damage. Chigger bites typically do not require any medical attention. However, if your symptoms linger or worsen, call a doctor immediately. Contact a medical professional if you experience:  Shortness of breath Fever Dizziness, weakness, or fainting Headache, chills, joint aches, and or vomiting A new rash Drainage from the bites or signs of infection

Within a week to 10 days, your sunflower seeds should start growing into small seedlings. During this time, continue to water the seeds every day and make sure the soil is moist, particularly around the seeds. If your sunflowers are outside, you may want to cover the seedlings with baskets or netting to protect them from birds.

Within about two weeks after completing the application, you should receive a letter from the lender with its decision. You need this written letter so you can show it to sellers and brokers as you shop for a new home. The letter should tell you the details of the loan that you will qualify for. This should include the maximum amount of the loan and the duration of the loan. This will give you an idea of how much you can spend during the house hunting process. It also shows sellers that you are serious when you make an offer. Most mortgage pre-approvals are good for between 60 and 90 days. This is important for you to recognize, because if you do not make an offer on a home within that time, the letter will expire. You may still be able to show it, to demonstrate the general condition of your finances, but you should plan your house hunting within that time frame. Some brokers or homeowners will not even accept offers from people without preapproval letters. Even if they do accept such offers, they will prefer an offer that is accompanied by a valid preapproval letter. This letter will help your offer take precedence over others.

Within reason, you should make your girlfriend your number one priority when she's upset and needs your support. How quickly you're there for her might be as important as being there itself and the act of you rushing to her aid lets her know how much she means to you. This, alone, will help her feel better regardless of why she's upset Obviously, you won't be able to rush to your girlfriend at the drop of a coin. Most times, you will have to balance the criticality of your current activities and the severity of her emotional distress. If you're at work or school and her situation is dire, you should clear your mind of your responsibilities and give her all the emotional support and caring that you can verbally. Let her know that she is your number one priority and that you will be there physically as soon as you can practically clear your plate. Until you know what your girlfriend is specifically upset about, you can't offer any but the broadest consolation. Whether the situation is minor or a life-changing issue, any consolation necessarily starts with listening intently to what she's saying. And any positive comforting begins with empathetic understanding by the listener. The best thing you can do is to become an active listener and let her work through her feelings and come naturally to her own realization/insight.  Resist injecting your solution into the process. Instead, facilitate her settling into her own understanding of her emotional quandary. Let her vent while you assume the role of empathizer.  Engage in active listening. Make a habit of rephrasing what she's said to you. Make her feelings and articulations be your entire world for the time she talks to you. Empathy cannot happen if you're partly focused on your own thoughts. Even so, you shouldn't be afraid to offer your own feelings, but only if she asks you for them. Laughter helps relieve the stress and re-centers the emotions. In this way a number of mental and emotional problems can seem less critical and more manageable. If you and your...

Be there emotionally and physically as quickly as possible. Listen carefully to what she's upset about. Act as a mirror for her emotional frustration. Make her laugh. Lighten any potential feelings of shamefulness. Stay calm.


Within the first 5 minutes of your interview, the interviewer will form an impression of you. This first impression tends to stick and can be extremely difficult to change, especially in the very short time you have with the interviewer.  For example, if you come to an interview for a sales representative position but act all shy and timid, the interviewer will have the first impression that you are not as outgoing as you say you are. At that point, no matter how much you give examples or try to explain your ability to do the job, the interviewer will still see you as shy and timid. Therefore, you want to try your best to be yourself and show off your good qualities that will help you fit in with the company and present yourself as the best person for the job. If you practice interviewing and prepare answers to questions the interviewer might ask, you will feel more relaxed during the real thing. This is due to the fact that you will be able to easily answer questions without too much thought. Just being able to sit down for a few moments prior to your interview will allow your mind to relax and put yourself into “interview mode”. Being able to relax during an interview is the most important step towards being yourself. Being relaxed during an interview means not letting your nerves get the best of you, which can prevent you from portraying yourself in the best way possible.  Skilled interviewers will try to relax candidates by starting off with a little “chit chat” before getting into the main part of the interview. This is great for both of you because it allows you to gain rapport and speak more freely in the main part of the interview. However, building rapport prior to the start of the interview and feeling comfortable with the interviewer is not guaranteed. Be confident and think positively. If you start thinking negatively, you will become more nervous. You have gotten this far, so now it is your chance to show them you are the right person for the job. Remember to breathe and take your time with...

Understand the importance of a first impression. Practice interviewing and be prepared to answer questions about yourself. Arrive early so you have time to unwind and gather your thoughts. Try to relax. Be confident and take your time answering questions.


Without clothes to distract, or send a particular message, the way you carry yourself is vitally important to being comfortable and confident in your own skin. Even if you aren't feeling confident, faking it can help trick yourself into feeling more confident.  Have good posture. Stand or sit up straight to make yourself appear taller. Keep your chin up and shoulders relaxed for a confident pose. These are good tips when dressed, too, but even more important when it is harder to hide yourself with clothing.  Smile. A friendly face can project confidence in yourself, which is always more attractive to the other person.  Look forward and maintain eye contact. This can create a strong connection with your partner. Additionally, it will subconsciously force them to look at your eyes rather than other parts of your body. If you're still a bit nervous about being naked around another person, this can help keep their eyes from wandering too much. You may be comfortable letting your body hair grow wild, but your partner may disagree. Long, unkempt body hair can be unpleasant to look at, and another person will probably like touching it even less. Besides, if you want your partner to touch you, it should be skin, not hair, that gets grabbed.  Armpit hair. This is a common part of your body for sweat, and trimming it can reduce sweating. It's better not to shave it all off, but keep it trim and don't allow it to grow too wild. Chest hair. If you are an athlete, this can be a reasonable part of your body to keep clean of hair. Shave slowly, and use an electric razor to get rid of any remaining stubble. You may also consider  waxing. Otherwise, an electric trimmer can help you maintain a masculine look (if that's what you are going for). Back hair is generally considered less attractive. If you don't like having it, this is a good part of your body to have waxed, as it can hurt less. Plus, it's hard to shave a part of your body you can't easily see. Genital hair. Like your chest and armpits, it is unusual for a man to be...

Without going into great detail, polarization works by filtering out horizontal glare — that is, light reflecting off of water, fallen snow, car hoods, etc.  The substantial reduction in glare they can achieve helps explain why polarized eyewear is a favorite among skiers, fishermen, and professional drivers. The effect is achieved by applying a thin coating to each surface of the lens. This coating is susceptible to scratching or dissolving without proper care. Although there are budget-friendly polarized glasses out there, odds are good that you spent a decent chunk of change on your pair.  So always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care, along with these tips:  Always keep your glasses in the provided protective case when not in use. This is one of the easiest ways to prevent scratches and the accumulation of dust and dirt. Don’t leave your glasses exposed to extreme temperatures, which can deform the polarized coating.  Avoid, for example, leaving the glasses under the front windshield, where they can bake under the blazing sun.  Never “dry rub” your polarized lenses, even with a clean microfiber cloth.  The friction caused by even tiny bits of dust or debris can cause damage if not lubricated with water or an approved cleaner. You may receive a cleaning and repair kit with your polarized glasses.  Use these as recommended for regular cleanings and minor repairs.  However, going back to the retailer or another eyewear store that will do cleanings, inspections, and repairs can really pay off. High quality polarized lenses can be quite expensive, and it is likely worth your investment to have occasional professional care done on them.  Go in when something is obviously wrong or the glasses are too caked with oils, residue, etc. for you to clean yourself.  Also consider going in for check-ups once or twice a year as well.

Without ripping your cut, carefully spread the two sides of the fish open 2–6 inches (5.1–15.2 cm) at the vent. Reach near the head of the fish and pinch the organs where they connect to the head between your thumb and index finger. Gently pull them out at the root. Reach towards the tail of the fish and slowly pull out the guts and entrails.  Inspect the body cavity for any remaining organs and remove them by hand. Discard the organs in an appropriate trash bin. At a cleaning station, drop them in the grinder to get rid of them. Some fish have a small kidney on the inside of their spine near their midsection. Look along the interior side of the spine for a small bean-shaped organ. If your fish has a kidney, scoop it out with a spoon. In a large sink or cleaning area, hold your fish vent-side up. Turn on a steady stream of cold water and spread the stomach open. Let the water run through your fish’s abdominal cavity while you use your hands or a spoon to rub the interior walls of your fish’s body. This will remove any remaining residue from the organs and clean the flesh. Wash your fish for at least 1 minute to ensure that every part of the fish’s abdominal cavity gets rinsed.

Without taking a washcloth and some cleanser to your face on a frequent basis, dirt and an unwanted excess of oils will build up on your skin; this includes your lips as well. Keeping your face clear of any gunk is a sure way to improve a general healthy appearance, as well as prevent many factors that may play into weakening the lustrous appearance of your lips. Much like exfoliating, there are plenty of homemade solutions you can conjure up for moisturizing your lips. Among the more popular of these recipes is a combination of glycerin and rosewater. Add the two in equal measure to a small bowl, and apply the solution to your lips. Leave it on overnight; that way, your lips will have ample time to absorb the nutrients. Rosewater is well-liked by makeup artists as it is a mild astringent; it is perfect for cleansing your lips of impurities like dirt and old makeup. As you might imagine, this has the effect of making your lips look fuller. If you aren't the DIY type, prefabricated rosewater and glycerin mixtures can be found in a pharmacy or health section of your local supermarket. While coconut oil may be used in tandem with brown sugar as a great exfoliator, by itself it can be a great lip balm. Coconut oil contains many nutrients, such as vitamin E, which are great for moisturizing. Coconut oil is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and full of antioxidants; with so many benefits, it has grown popular as a beauty tool as much as a cooking ingredient. Applying a teaspoonful to your lips will help to moisturize and soften them. Because coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, first you'll need to heat it a little for it to become soft and pliable. Much like coconut oil, honey has a lot of great nutrients and antioxidants, which help prevent aging and UV damage. In other words-- a great choice when it comes to skin care!  Take a dab and apply gently to your lips as you would with coconut oil or a conventional lip balm. Look for raw honey, as unpasteurized honey has more active nutrients and enzymes that will...

Without the right equipment and techniques, you could actually increase the levels of radon in your home! If you decide not to use a certified contractor to reduce radon, it’s essential that you contact your state radon office to find training courses in your area. Enroll in and attend these training classes to learn how to properly reduce radon levels.  For instance, you’ll learn how to properly test for radon. You may also be taught how air pressure affects ventilation and how radon moves through water. Cracks and openings in the building can allow radon to flow into your home or office. All entry points (like for utilities), cracks, drains, and openings can be filled with urethane foam. Wall and floor joints can be sealed with polyurethane membrane sealants. Supplies can be found at your local hardware store. Ventilation is key for reducing radon levels. Whenever possible, have several windows open on the lowest level of your home or office, which is closest to the soil and source of the radon. Even a small crack allows fresh air to flow in, lowering the concentration of radon in the air. You can opt to open windows on upper levels as well to allow air to flow throughout the entire space. Fans get the air in your home or office circulating, while a positive ion generator charges the particles of radon. The particles are then attracted to the walls, floor, and ceiling, preventing them from being absorbed into your lungs. Radon comes into your home or office because the air pressure is lower than it is outside, drawing radon in like a vacuum. Exhaust fans further decrease the air pressure, so using them actually increases the concentration of radon in the air. If you must use an exhaust fan, open several windows in the home or office as well. If you have exposed earth in your basement, storage area, crawlspace, or another area of your home, you can significantly reduce radon levels by covering the soil. Use high-density polyethylene plastic to completely cover the exposed earth. Seal the seams as well as the...

Without treatment, gonorrhea will cause serious health problems. Both males and females can experience a condition known as disseminated gonorrhea. The bacteria has entered the bloodstream and spread to the skin and joints. This leads to fevers, maculopapular skin rash (tiny raised painful circular lesions from the neck down), and severe joint pains.  Complications of gonorrhea for women include inflammation of the fallopian tubes leading to pelvic inflammatory disease (sever lower abdominal pain). This can lead to severe scars within the area causing future pregnancy complications and infertility. In addition, a untreated inflamed pelvis can increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside of the uterus). In males, a condition called epididymitis can develop leading to pain behind the testes and eventually infertility. Gonorrhea contains proteins that allow HIV to replicate itself quicker, increasing the likelihood of passing along HIV. Those who are negative for HIV but have gonorrhea are five times more likely to acquire the virus. Do not engage in sexual activity till the you are cured of the symptoms, as you may pass it along to someone else. Advise your sexual partners for evaluation and treatment since gonorrhea can go undetected without symptoms at first. Explain your history and complaints. Your doctor or nurse may ask the following questions: When did you have sex last? Did you perform oral, anal, or vaginal sex? How many partners do you have? Do you use protection? Gonorrhea is a sexual transmitted disease that can spread through sexual activity. The more sexual active partners the higher the risk.  Drink some water before going to the office. Your doctor will take a urine sample to see any white blood cells (immune cells), blood, or hints of infection in the urine. If you are female, a urine pregnancy test may be performed. Confirmatory testing will always be performed. This is an infection that is required by law to be reported to the health department and the CDC. When gonorrhea is...

Without your knowledge, there could be someone attempting to hack your computer to access your personal files.  However, you can prevent hackers from accessing your information by installing security software to your computer.  Some examples of security software include Norton and McAfee. Though you may desire to share many aspects of your personal life onto social media, don’t post overly personal information, like your address or phone number.  Be very hesitant in trusting the world with that kind of information. Your passwords will allow access to your most personal information, including your email and bank account.  Never share this information with anyone, especially those who you have met online. Make sure your passwords are slightly complex and are something only you would know. Beyond your address and passwords, you should be cautious with everything that you are posting.  Pictures, statuses, and location updates all give strangers more and more information about you, information that could potentially be dangerous.  Ask yourself “would I want everyone to know this?” before you post anything. Avoid posting overly revealing pictures as these can elicit responses from potential predators online. Remember that online, people can pretend to be anyone.  Though you may have seen a picture of someone, you have no way of knowing if that is really them unless you FaceTime or Skype.  Also, any information people share with you could be completely false.  Remember this and proceed with caution.  Should you choose to meet, meet in a public place in the middle of the day and make sure you are not followed home. Consider meeting them with your friends as a group. If you are younger than 18, ask your parents if you can meet someone online.

Woks are made out of several different materials, though the traditional wok is made of cast iron. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Every type of wok will work for your stir-frying, steaming, or frying needs, except Teflon, which should not be used for frying. The different materials of woks are:  Cast iron. This is the traditional material. This type of wok takes more time to heat up, but it cooks food evenly and retains heat longer. Iron is a solid choice, but it also has its drawbacks. Cast iron woks rust easily, so you will need to carefully dry it before and after use. It is also recommended to avoid cooking acidic food and greens in this type of wok. Aluminum wok. Iron woks are thick and heavy, but woks made of aluminum are light and thin. Aluminum is a great conductor of heat, but it does not retain heat very well. It is also not as durable as an iron wok. Teflon wok. A Teflon, or non-stick, wok is ideal for steaming, stewing, and boiling. Do not use this type of wok if you plan to deep fry or stir-fry food because the non-stick coating will come off into the food at high temperatures. Carbon steel. This is possibly the most recommended type of wok. It is typically the most inexpensive choice, and it is the most durable. A carbon steel wok also heats up quickly and evenly, and is almost a non-stick surface if cared for properly. Woks with round bottoms are traditional and most common, but flat bottoms have been introduced in recent years. A round bottom is ideal if you cook on a gas stove. Flat bottom woks are made for electric stoves. Though the choice depends on taste and stove type, most cooks still recommend to use a round bottom if possible.  Food can burn easier with a flat bottom wok because heat is distributed mostly throughout the bottom of the pan. It is easier to use a spatula on a round bottom pan. The size of the wok you choose depends on the amount of people you want to feed. Typically, a wok that is 14 inches in diameter is family-sized. For travel, woks come as...

Wolverine is a Marvel character, so he follows the same template as all Marvel superheroes, starting with a stick figure. Begin by drawing a straight line vertically. Draw a horizontal line that crosses your vertical line about an inch below the tip for the shoulders and chest. Then add the arms and legs. Draw circles at the joints, these will be used as guides later on.  To help you when drawing Wolverine, find a picture of him that you like to help you as a guide. While you can draw Wolverine in any position, it’s easiest to start with Wolverine simply standing and facing forward. This will give you the best idea of how he looks. Use a pencil and keep your initial sketch lines light as you will erase these lines later. Your initial vertical line serves as the spine for the body. It connects the head, chest, and body together. Draw a circle around the top of your first line for the outline of the head. Leave a little space below the head for the neck, then draw a large oval shape to form the chest. Wolverine is bulky so the shapes you draw for the body should be round and cylindrical. Below the chest, draw a cylinder to make the outline of the torso. Create circular joints at the shoulders, and elbows by drawing circles. For the legs, draw your lines and add circular outlines for the kneecaps. Draw small triangles for the hands and feet right now. Connect the circular joints on the arms and legs by drawing cylinders in the areas between joints. Use your original stick figure lines to guide you. Wolverine is very bulky, so make your shapes large. It’s also ok to overlap your shapes. These shapes will end up forming the muscles in the arms and legs.  Draw your cylinders, which will be the muscles and body of Wolverine, as wide you drew the circular joints to keep everything proportional. Don’t worry about making everything look perfect or even right now, just get the general outline down. Right now you should have a stick figure outline with circular joints, cylindrical muscles in the arms and legs, a circle...

Women and men alike can benefit from doing kegel exercises, which strengthen the pelvic floor and improve continence and urinary flow. You can do Kegels anywhere, simply follow these instructions:  While urinating, squeeze the muscles that stop your flow midstream – those are the muscles you want to isolate. You can do the exercise in any position. Tighten those muscles, hold for 5 seconds, then relax. Repeat this several times in a row. Gradually work up to holding the contraction for 10 seconds, then resting for 10 seconds. Try to do three sets of ten repetitions every day. Don’t squeeze other muscles like your abs, legs, or butt. Focus on flexing only your pelvic floor muscles. Sometimes, vaginal childbirth or heavy coughing or straining can weaken the muscles that hold your bladder in place, causing your bladder to droop. This can affect how well you can urinate, and may be your problem if you have a feeling of fullness or pressure in your vagina or pelvis, it feels worse when you strain or bear down, you feel like your bladder isn’t fully empty after you urinate, you leak urine during intercourse, or you see or feel a bulge of tissue in your vagina.  Ask your doctor about getting a pessary – a support for your bladder that sits inside your vagina. In severe cases, you can have surgery to reinforce your pelvic muscles and ligaments. Most women with leaking or weak stream experience the trouble after menopause – as estrogen decreases, skin and tissues thin and weaken. Using an estrogen cream that’s made for your vagina may help strengthen the surrounding skin and tissues. Ask your doctor or OB/GYN whether your urinary troubles might be helped with “topical” estrogen. Place a hot water bottle or heating pack on your low abdomen between your belly button and your pubic bone. Like with other muscles, the heat may relax your bladder and help you urinate more freely. You can also try taking a hot shower or soaking in a warm bath. Cholinergic medications increase how strongly your bladder contracts, which will...

Women are more successful at flirting when they are bold and direct, studies show. Men tend to prefer when women are direct about their intentions.  You can say, “I’m so glad we’re finally on a date together!” People love hearing that they’re wanted. Get them to ask what you’re thinking about. If you’re feeling bold, say, “Oh, I’m just wondering what it would be like to kiss you.” If you can find a natural way to initiate it, play fighting can lead to a kiss—think of The Lion King! It’ll increase your adrenaline, it gets you close to each other, and it shows that you feel comfortable with them. Just make sure that it is playful, not violent. If they know that you like them enough to be nervous, it will make them feel more comfortable. No one likes to be vulnerable, and if they don’t know that you’re feeling nervous too, they might be too afraid to make their move. For example, you could say, “I’ve been wanting to spend time with you for a while. I didn’t think I’d be so nervous!” If all else fails, you can tell them that you want them to kiss you and see what happens. Sometimes guys fail to pick up on the hints and you need to be more direct.  You could say, “I’d really like for you to kiss me right now.” If you want to be slightly less direct, you can say, “It would be OK if you kiss me right now, if you want to.” Don’t rush into this. Enjoy the beginning of the relationship, and if it’s been several weeks and you’ve dropped hint after hint, just tell them. They may be looking for your OK to go ahead, or they may want to kiss you in their own time.

A good way to show your girlfriend that you're serious in your commitment to her is to do something really, profoundly nice for her. You can certainly start with the usual flowers and chocolates but if you have the chance to do something with a bit more impact on her life, take that chance.  For example, let's say that she's having a hard time getting to work or school ever since her car broke down. Call up a buddy of yours who works on cars and find a way to trade for the use of his skills. Getting your girl back on the road will take a huge amount of stress off of her. Of course, just because you do something nice does not mean she's obligated to have sex with you and you shouldn't use it as a way to pressure her into a more physical situation. Instead, this should be used to show her that you are a good partner, devoted to and honestly invested in her happiness. A romantic gesture is something nice for her that also declares your romantic interest. This will be very important as it shows that you think of her as more than just a friend. Girls will often worry that you don't find them sexy or attractive if you don't get romantic every now and again, which will turn them off of the idea of a physical relationship. Make a romantic gesture and she'll soften right up. . Another way to set the scene for romance is to compliment her. However, complimenting well doesn't come naturally to everyone. Sometimes we say things that we think are nice and we mean well, but it's easy to be insulting without meaning it. Pay attention to how you compliment and try to compliment her in a good way.  For example, you want to avoid compliments like "you look really nice today" because it implies that she does not normally look nice. Another one to avoid is "that dress makes you look so thin" because it implies that she normally looks fat. While it's better to tailor compliments to the woman in question, a good...

Women need at least 11.5 cups (2,700 mL) of water each day, while men need at least 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water daily. Increase your fluid intake by drinking more water, tea, smoothies, or sports drinks. Additionally, snack on fruits and veggies, which contain water. If you are very active or sweat a lot, then you may need to increase your water intake. Choose protein sources like poultry, fish, soy, meat-replacement products, beans, legumes, nuts, and low-fat dairy. Include a protein source with every meal and snack so that your body consistently receives protein throughout the day. This will help your body rebuild its muscles.  To calculate how many grams of protein you need, multiply the number of calories you're eating by 35%. Then, divide by 4, which is the number of calories in a gram of protein. As an example, if you were eating 2,000 calories per day, then you'd multiply 2,000 x 35% = 700. Then, divide 700/4 = 175. You'd need 175 grams of protein per day. For instance, you might eat Greek yogurt for breakfast, tuna with a salad at lunch, almonds for a snack, and grilled chicken as your dinner entree. Your body uses carbs to fuel your activity, but all carbs aren't equal. Complex carbs like those found in vegetables and whole grains break down slowly, so they provide steady fuel and don't spike your blood sugar. On the other hand, simple carbs like sugar, processed grains, and baked goods spike your blood sugar and burn quickly. Get your carbs from vegetables, whole grains, and some fruits.  To find out how many carbs you need, multiply the number of calories you're eating by 40%, then divide by 4, which is the amount of calories in 1 gram of carbs. If you were eating 2,000 calories, you'd multiply 2,000 x 40% = 800. Then, divide 800/4 = 200. You'd need 200 grams of carbs each day. For instance, you might mix oats into your yogurt, eat a salad for lunch, snack on apple slices, and eat quinoa with roasted veggies as a side dish at dinner. Your body also needs healthy fats to maintain your health and...

Get 25% of your calories from healthy fats. Avoid processed and sweetened foods because they lack nutrients.


Women who develop postpartum psychosis often see or hear things that are not really there. These hallucinations may be frightening, upsetting, or disorienting. They may come and go, or they may persist. Hallucinations are one of the major signs that distinguishes postpartum psychosis from postpartum depression, and it requires immediate medical intervention. Confusion also distinguishes postpartum psychosis from postpartum depression. Even healthy new mothers may seem exhausted and mentally foggy, but these symptoms should not evolve into true confusion or bewilderment. A woman with postpartum psychosis may seem puzzled by what’s going on around her unable to understand what others are saying to her. Along with hallucinations and confusion, delusions – strange but strongly held beliefs that a rational person would know to be false – are one of the chief symptoms that distinguishes postpartum psychosis from postpartum depression. Delusions also require immediate medical treatment. They may not cause a woman to hurt herself or someone else, but in some cases, they do lead to violence. These delusions, perhaps in combination with hallucinations, may make a woman paranoid or suspicious. Someone with postpartum psychosis may think her friends and family members are lying to her or trying to hurt her; she may feel that she is being watched or followed. Mood swings are a common symptom for women with postpartum depression and anxiety, and they also play a role in postpartum psychosis. Women who develop postpartum psychosis tend to move quickly from one emotional state to another; they may suddenly find themselves overwhelmingly sad, distressed, irritated, or angry, and they may or may not be able to pinpoint any reason for the abrupt shift in mood. Difficulty sleeping is also characteristic of all the postpartum psychiatric conditions, but it may be especially pronounced in women with postpartum psychosis. They may develop persistent insomnia, or they may feel that they do not need to sleep at all. This symptom can...

Watch for hallucinations. Take confusion seriously. Look for delusions. Pay attention to mood swings. Monitor sleep patterns. Note any hyperactivity. Take feelings of “craziness” seriously. Be especially vigilant during the first few weeks after delivery. Consider risk factors.


Women with eating disorders do not have different nutritional requirements than other pregnant women, but you must remember to eat on a schedule with healthy meals.  Set reminders on your phone for when you need to eat. Plan meals ahead of time to resist the urge to skip a meal or to eat something else. Your obstetrician and dietician will help you determine how much you should eat each day. This can vary greatly based on your current weight and what type of disorder you have been diagnosed with. If you have an eating disorder, it may not be wise to count calories or weigh yourself. That said, you can make sure that you’re getting all of the right nutrients for a healthy pregnancy. During pregnancy, getting enough folic acid, iron, vitamin C, and calcium is important.  Folic acid helps prevent birth defects. Aim for 0.4 mg a day by eating dark leafy vegetables, like spinach and kale, legumes like black beans and lima beans, and whole grain products, like brown rice or whole grain bread. Try to get 27 mg of iron a day. You can get this from meats, fish, dairy, legumes, and fortified grains. Aim for 70-80 mg of vitamin C a day. Grapefruits, oranges, broccoli, tomatoes, and Brussel sprouts are good choices. To help your baby’s bones grow, get around 1,000 mg of calcium a day from milk, yogurt, seafood, and green vegetables like broccoli. While you can take prenatal vitamins, you should get most of your nutrients from your food. Since healthy weight gain is the goal, you may need to avoid doing too much exercise. Talk to your obstetrician about what types of exercise are healthy for you. Your obstetrician may recommend less intensive exercise like walking or prenatal yoga instead of running or weight lifting. Stress can often trigger an eating disorder, and being pregnant can be stressful. Take time to unwind and do activities you enjoy, like writing a blog, listening to music, playing video games, or spending time with friends. Activities like meditation and yoga are great ways to relieve stress. While you...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Eat healthy meals on a schedule. Focus on getting the right nutrients. Get approval from your obstetrician before starting an exercise regimen. Minimize your stress. Remind yourself of the risks of eating disorders during pregnancy. Go to the hospital if severe symptoms develop.


Wood also makes great mulch, and you can make wood or bark mulch from organic matter from around the yard. Go around your house and collect fallen branches, bark, or tree trimmings that you pruned from your plants. Put on safety glasses and process the wood and bark through a wood chipper to make a mulch.  Bark and wood mulch can be used on its own or combined with leaf mulch. Wood mulch is ideal for established gardens and plants, but shouldn’t be used with young plants.  You can rent a wood chipper from a hardware store if you don’t have one of your own. Wood decomposes more slowly than leaves, so this would be a good mulch for long term use. Grass clippings make an ideal addition to leaf mulch, though they aren't as effective when used alone. After mowing your lawn, rake up the grass clippings. Mix the clippings in with the leaf mulch and use a spade or pitchfork to mix them together. If your mower has a bag to collect grass, simply pour the contents of the bag into the leaf mulch when you're done. Like grass clippings, fallen pine needles can also be mixed with leaf mulch. Pine mulch is best used with acid-loving plants. Rake up needles from around your yard and combine them with the leaf mulch using a shovel or pitchfork. Newspaper and other types of paper from around the house can also be recycled and turned into mulch. Collect the paper and use an electric shredder or scissors to shred the paper into small pieces. Combine the paper shreds with the leaf mulch and use as normal.

Chop up tree branches, bark, and trimmings. Collect grass clippings to add to the mulch. Rake up pine needles for your mulch. Repurpose shredded paper.


Wood ash provides nutrients such as phosphorous, calcium and boron that can help your plants flourish. Wearing gloves, add ashes to your potting mix a handful at a time, measuring the PH as you go to get the perfect balance. You can retest and add more ash over the coming months, as desired.  Before adding ashes, measure the starting PH of your garden soil with a soil PH meter. These can be purchased inexpensively online. How much ash to add depends on the starting PH of your soil, but most plants thrive at a PH between 6-7.5.  Adding ash will neutralize acids in your soil, so only add it if your starting PH is higher than 7. You can do this with damp or dry ashes; it is up to you. The alkalinity of ashes repels slugs and snails. If you have prized plants that are being nibbled by these creatures, sprinkle a handful of ash at the base of the plant. Avoid adding more than a handful, as this can change the PH of your soil and affect plant growth. Your garden will be pest free in no time. Sprinkle some leftover ashes on stubborn ice in the winter. Its composition helps the ice melt faster, and it provides some much needed traction on slippery areas. Plus, it’s a natural alternative to many chemical ice melts that can be harmful to pets and children. Mix 1 cup of ashes (144 grams) with a little bit of water until you have a thick paste. Using kitchen gloves, coat your silver using the paste. Let it sit for a minute to loosen grime, then buff your silver with a clean cloth.

Enrich your soil with ashes. Repel garden pests by sprinkling ashes around your garden. Use ashes to melt ice on walkways and driveways. Shine your silver with an ash paste.


Wood items like chips, scraps of lumber, pine cones, and kindling are all good options. You can also use rolled-up newspapers. Mix 1 pound (454 g) of your chosen chemical per every gallon (3.78 liter) of water in a plastic container. Stir well to help the powder dissolve more quickly. For the best results, use a single chemical per container of water.  You can use a glass container, but avoid metal containers, which may react with the chemicals. Take care not to drop or break any glass containers in your campsite or near the firepit or fireplace. Be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and a protective mask or respirator when mixing the chemical solution. It's best to mix the chemical solution outdoors because some of the chemicals may stain your work area or create hazardous fumes. Pour your chemical solution into a large container, such as an old ice cooler or plastic storage tub. Place the wood materials in a mesh bag (such as an onion or potato bag) before submerging them in the solution. Weigh the bag down with a brick or other heavy object, and allow the wood to soak for 24 hours. Lift the bag out of the chemical solution, allowing it to drain for a moment over the container. Next, dump the wood pieces onto a sheet of newspaper or hang them up in a dry, breezy location, and allow them to dry for another 24 hours or more.  Be sure to wear protective gloves when lifting the wood out of the chemical solution. If you don't allow the wood pieces to dry out, you'll have a hard time getting them to burn in your fire. Build a campfire or ignite a fire in your fireplace. When the fire has burned down to a low flame, toss the treated materials onto the fire and allow them to burn for several minutes until the colored flames appear. If you are burning the wood in an indoor fireplace or campfire tent, make sure the chimney, flue, and dampers are in good working condition, so that you can get good ventilation.

Collect dry, lightweight fire materials. Dissolve the chemical in water. Soak the wood materials in the chemical solution for a day. Remove the mesh bag from the mixture and allow the wood to dry. Burn the treated wood in your fire.


Wood putty comes in a variety of shades to match different types of wood and finishes. Purchase a putty that matches your wood as closely as possible. To make this easy, take a picture of the wood to refer to when you are making your purchase. You can make your own wood putty by using sawdust from the wood and white wood glue. Poke a nail-sized hole in a piece of painter's tape using a screwdriver, utility knife, or another tool. Line up the tape over the nail hole. Gently press down on the tape to adhere it to the wood. Use more than one piece of tape if needed.

Wood stabilizer comes as a liquid that you rub into wood. It contains ingredients that will prevent the wood from warping, cracking, or checking. Start with a small amount of stabilizer and then add more as needed. Use a clean dry cloth to rub the stabilizer into the wood in a circular motion. Cover the entire top of the stump with the stabilizer, rubbing it into the wood grain. The wood will absorb the stabilizer as you rub it in so you may need to pour on more to ensure the entire surface is covered. Tie a plastic sheet or tarp over the top of the stump to allow the stabilizer to dry properly. Once the top of the stump has dried, flip the stump over and repeat the same steps on the bottom of the stump. Cover the bottom of the stump with the stabilizer, getting it right in the wood grain. Once you have applied the stabilizer, cover the bottom of the stump with plastic and let it dry for 2-4 hours. To really seal the stump, apply at least 2 coats of stabilizer, letting the top and bottom of the stump dry for 2-4 hours between coats.

Get wood stabilizer at your local hardware store or online. Rub 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of stabilizer into the top of the stump. Cover the top of the stump in plastic and let it dry for 2-4 hours. Apply 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of stabilizer on the bottom of the stump with a cloth. Put at least 2 coats of stabilizer on the stump.


Wood will have flaws like scratches and dents. Whether marks have come from the machines at the mills, or it has become scratched or gouged during handling, or from wear and tear. Before applying any stain, finishing, or paint, you need to sand down the wood to allow you apply to new materials and prevent the flaws from being highlighted.   If the flaws in the wood aren't sanded away, the finish that is applied will only highlight and expose any marks or scratches. Start with sandpaper that has a grit of about 120. In most cases, this will remove any of the flaws without causing worse problems. Always sand with the grain of the wood. Don’t sand against the grain. You want to sand down the wood until you've reached anywhere between 180 and 220-grit. Repeated rounds of sanding will remove the coarse-grit scratches from the previous passes. You can use a high-intensity light, or wet the wood with paint thinner to magnify any remaining blemishes.  If you see blemishes you may need to sand the wood again. However, too much sanding in an area that has a blemish may only make it worse. Be careful to try and get as smooth of a surface as possible. Some areas may just have quirks that can't be completely removed. After you've sanded the wood go over it with a rag to wipe it down and remove any excess material. While you can use any cloth to do this, a tack cloth will pick up the most dust.  If you don't wipe down the wood before you apply your stain, you can cause uneven parts and blemishes.

Sand down the wood. Repeat the sanding process with a progressively finer grain. Inspect the wood to determine whether or not you're satisfied with the surface. Wipe down your wood and remove any dust.


Wooden cutting boards should never be set aside to clean later. This can allow food and germs to soak into the board. Always clean a wooden cutting board right after use. Always hand wash cutting boards. They should never be washed in a dishwasher.  Use a damp cloth and mild dish detergent to wipe down the board. When you're done, use another damp cloth to wipe off the detergent. Some people find dish detergents are harsh on wood. If you're worried about using chemical cleaners, clean your board by sprinkling salt over the board. Then, use a lemon to rub the board clean. When you're done, rinse and dry the board. Do not place a cutting board in a dish rack on its side to dry. Lay it on a flat surface instead. If a cutting board dries on its side, it will bend in one direction. Every few weeks, drip some water onto the board. If the water remains on the surface, the board does not need to be re-seasoned. If the water soaks in, you should add another layer of mineral oil to the board and let it soak in overnight.

Clean your board after each use. Dry your board correctly. Re-season the board regularly.


Woodworking routers use a width guide to control the area being hollowed out. Some routers may come with adjustable attachments for setting the dimensions for the hollow, but if yours doesn't, make your own by sawing the shape of your hollow into a piece of plywood. To prevent the wood and guide from dangerously coming loose, use several clamps to firmly hold the two pieces together. If your guide moves even a little bit, the placement of your hollow will be thrown off. Spiral bits tend to make the cleanest cuts, but depending on the kind of hollow you're making, a different shaped bit might be more suitable. Set the depth of the bit to the depth of your hollow and you're ready to use the router. Avoid setting the depth of your bit so it's longer than the thickness of the wood. Doing so could result in you cutting all the way through to the other side. with the router. Use the handles and trigger on the router to lower the bit into the wood until it reaches its max depth. Reverse this process to remove the bit, then reposition the wood and lower the bit to repeat the process again. Continue in this fashion until the hollow is done.  Routers can kick up quite a bit of sawdust. Because of this, you should always wear safety glasses when operating your router. Different brands of router may use a different procedure for operation. Always follow the router's direction for the best and safest results. Digital manuals can usually be found online. With larger hollows, sometimes it's quicker to make several holes around the perimeter and through the center with a router and then chisel out large chunks.

Words like “cunning,” “manipulative,” and “remorseless” will probably be on the list if they're a sociopath. Understanding the person's characteristics is critical to reevaluating your relationship. Despite their individual variations, sociopaths are likely to be manipulating, pathological liars who get close to people in order to hurt them. Contrary to some popular beliefs, not all — and in fact, very, very few — sociopaths end up as serial killers. Many aren't violent at all. A sociopath may not be interested in friendship in the way you understand it. Instead of friendship with you, they may be seeking a loyal follower. They might treat you like a friend only to gain access to your companionship. In these cases, as long as you provide some value to them, they will keep you around. But once they tire of you, you will likely be abandoned. No two sociopaths are alike, and their motivations, perspectives, and actions can vary widely. You'll have to trust your best judgment in regards to your friend's sociopathy. Identifying a legitimate sociopath is always difficult, because they are very skilled at hiding their true nature. Signs of sociopathy may blend in with signs of someone who is simply a bad friend, or someone who has little experience with social interaction. Or, your friend may just be incredibly self-absorbed without being a sociopath.  Of course, at the end of the day, a bad friend is a bad friend, actual sociopath or not. Someone who doesn't really care about your feelings and/or tries to manipulate you all the time is difficult to consider a friend. If the friendship doesn't benefit you and make you happy, then it's probably time to re-evaluate the relationship. Also, keep in mind that people with avoidant attachment styles often display traits of an antisocial personality. This may be due to their inability to form relationships. These people may want to form relationships, but they may be afraid or not know how to do so.

Write down terms that describe the person. Look for signs that your relationship is a ruse. Don't immediately label a selfish friend a sociopath.

Work hard not to fall into a romantic rut. The 16th is not really a milestone anniversary, like the 1st or the 10th or even the 15th, so it can be easy to forget.  However, 16 years is a big accomplishment. Don’t coast. Don’t forget it. Treat it like a big deal because it is. Make sure your loved dog knows you care. The 16th often gets overlooked because the 15th anniversary is so important. Many people believe that once you get past 15, you’re truly in a long-term marriage. So celebrate! Forget the themes maybe. And forget the generic bunch of wilting roses you pick up at the local grocery store.  Instead, go for a gift with meaning. What matters to your significant other emotionally? Is it a moment from your past? Recreate it. Take your loved one to a place where you had an early date or first met. Give your loved dog something that’s not tangible but more from the heart. Write a poem. Write a letter. Take him or her on a surprise trip. Treat him or her to a trip to the spa. Show your significant other that, after 16 years, you truly know what he or she wants (and needs). The gift can be quite simple or an elaborate planned event.  Fill a jar with chocolates or other candies and attach a card that reads, "Sweet 16." Bake 16 muffins or cookies to give to the anniversary couple or significant other. Create a scavenger hunt in which the couple visits 16 places that are significant in their relationship. Send the couple on a 16-night trip, or make reservations for the couple for a weekend in Tennessee, the 16th state in the United States.

Work in a closed space, like a spare bathroom or large closet when you handle film you haven’t exposed yet. Cover lit areas, like cracks underneath the door with tape or towels. Even a little bit of light can cause your negatives to fog and ruin the pictures you’ve taken.  Stand in the darkroom and let your eyes adjust to the darkness. See if there are any sources of light coming through that you couldn’t see before. A red light should not be used in the room when you develop your film. Search online or at specialty photography stores for a developer’s kit. The kit includes all the chemicals you need in order to process your negatives. Make sure you choose the kit based on the type of film you’re developing.  A full developer’s kit will cost around $130 USD. The basic chemicals you’ll receive in a developer’s kit are a developer, a fixer, a stopper, and a wetting agent. Use liquid chemicals since they are easier to measure and mix. Since you’ll be working with chemicals, use safe practices to protect your eyes and your skin. If you’re worried about splashing the chemicals on your clothes as well, consider wearing an apron. Make sure you’re working in a completely dark room so your film doesn’t fog. Wait until your eyes are adjusted to the dark so you can work easily. Place the sharp edge of the can opener on the bottom lip of the film canister. Push down on the can opener to pop the end off of the canister. Dump the film into your hand and get rid of the canister. Lay your tools out in front of you so you can easily find them while you work in the dark. Use a pair of scissors to cut 2 1⁄2 centimetres (0.98 in) off the leading end of the film. Take the spiral, or the spool inside the film tank, out from the center of the tank. Find the protrusions on the inside of the spiral since these will mark the film’s entry point. Pull the film onto the spiral. The film spiral is usually set for a 35mm size. If you’re working with a different sized film, adjust the width of the spiral to match. Pull out some of the film...

Work in a well-ventilated area in your home, and mix the bleach and water in a small container. Be careful not to use more bleach or else it could give your white shoes a yellow tinge.  Bleach works best for white fabric shoes. Wear nitrile gloves while working with bleach to prevent any skin irritation. Dip the toothbrush in your bleach solution and start scrubbing your shoes. Focus on soiled areas and deep stains, applying slight pressure to the fabric. You should notice the stains lift out of the fabric. Start with your shoes’ fabric before moving onto harder surfaces, like the soles. Wet a soft microfiber towel in clean warm water and wring it out until it’s damp. Apply gentle pressure as you wipe the towel over your shoes. You can also remove the insoles from your shoes and run your shoes under the faucet. Leave your shoes in the room to dry for at least 5-6 hours before you plan on wearing them again. Try to let them dry overnight if you can to dry completely. Put a fan in front of your shoes to speed up the drying process.

Work in a well-ventilated space. Set a painter’s drop cloth on the floor so you don’t accidentally get paint on a different surface. Make sure the cloth is completely flat so it doesn’t create a tripping hazard.  Drop cloths can be purchased from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a drop cloth, an old bed sheet works as well. Move any objects that you can out of the space so paint doesn’t get on them by accident. Use masking tape or blue painter’s tape to cover any areas you want to preserve. Cut the tape to match the shape of the area if you need to. Overlap each of the pieces of tape by half so paint can’t get through the gaps. If you’re covering a large area, such as a car windshield, use plastic sheeting and secure the edges with tape. Use a 400-grit sandpaper to scuff your painting surface so the spray paint adheres to the material. Work the sandpaper in small, concentric circles until your entire surface is smooth. When you’re finished sanding, use a dry cloth to wipe the surface free of debris.  Use a scuff pad instead of sandpaper if you have a softer or more delicate work surface such as thin metal or plastics. You only need to sand plastic if it was previously painted. If you’re painting metal, make sure to completely remove any rust. Pick an all-purpose primer safe for interior and exterior use. Hold the can of spray bonding primer 12 inches (30 cm) from your painting surface and press the button on top. Move in quick back and forth motions across the surface to coat it in a thin layer. Coat the entire surface you want to camouflage with the primer and let it dry for at least 1 hour. Use spray paint outdoors or work in a well-ventilated area. Hold the can 12 inches (30 cm) from your paint surface. Work in short back and forth strokes across your work surface. Overlap each stroke by at least half so primer doesn’t show through. Continue working across your work surface until it’s entirely painted. Give the base coat of paint at least 1 hour to dry so as not to smear the paint. When adding...

Lay a drop cloth underneath your painting area. Cover any areas you don’t want camouflaged with tape. Sand and clean your painting surface. Paint a layer of primer onto your surface and let it dry. Apply a base coat of the lightest color you have. Let the first coat dry for 1 hour before applying a second coat.


Work in small sections, making your way towards the back of the head.  Use a blade-on-skin technique to cut vertical sections around the sides and back. To perform this technique, comb a small section of the hair downwards, rest the clipper attachment against the skin starting at the bottom of your section (the blade part should point upwards), and move up in a vertical line. When cutting the sides, be sure you follow an imaginary vertical line up to the sky - do not follow the curve of the head. When the head starts to curve towards the crown, just continue moving your clippers upwards into the air. Although the flat top is a square haircut, the back needs to be slightly blended into the top for a balanced effect. "Round off" means instead of working in an absolutely vertical line all the way to the top (as you would at the sides), move your clippers to follow the curve of the head just slightly at the beginning of the crown. Use the same technique on the left side as you did on the right, i.e., moving straight upwards in a vertical line. Start at the back of the crown and, holding your comb parallel to the floor, lift a small section of hair upwards to the desired length. Use clippers to raze away excess hair sticking out of the comb. Hold the clippers so they are parallel to the comb. Work your way, section by section, to the forehead. Use small sections to avoid clipper lines. Make sure every section is as long as the previous one. Comb the hair back from the forehead and repeat the top-cutting process for a clean, even finish.

Start on the right side of head at the temple, moving the clippers from the bottom of the hair upwards in a vertical line. At the back of the head, run clippers up to the crown and then round off just slightly. Finish on the left side at the temple. Cut the top using a comb and clippers.


Work in your church, workplace, or other community group to locate volunteers for your cause. Have people that you bring on spread the word to friends or family they think might be interested in helping out. If you need certain skills, like an accountant or advertiser, consider asking around for people known to have these skills. For large or more complicated fundraisers, it may be nearly impossible for you to make every decision yourself. For this reason, you should split up your responsibilities among a core group of trusted team members. For example, think about asking someone good with money to be in charge of the fundraiser's finances. Another person could be in charge of promotional efforts. For many segments of the fundraiser, you may need someone in charge so that you can coordinate the fundraiser as a whole without focusing on the smallest details. Divide up tasks to different volunteers or groups of volunteers. This will not only increase your fundraiser's chance of success but also take some of the pressure off of you as you delegate complicated tasks to skilled volunteers. Just make sure that you have a structure in place for these different groups to coordinate with each other. To accomplish this, you might want to set up regular meetings of the entire fundraiser team.  Form a committee to make sure all the planning and gathering of materials is accomplished. For example, for your charitable 5k, you might want to have one group in charge of post-race refreshments and another for setting up the course. These two groups would have to communicate to make sure there is enough room at the finish line for the refreshments. For some types of fundraising events, you will need other professionals present to make sure that your events runs smoothly. For example, a concert would need sound and lighting technicians. Alternately, a 5k race would need medical professionals present in case any of the runners are injured. Think about your need for these individuals and incorporate the cost of bringing them on...

Work over a table so you don’t drop any glass on the floor. The back of the frame may be held in place with clips of some kind. Remove the back and the picture and set them aside. If the picture has any glass that is stuck to it, you can use a hairdryer to heat up and loosen the hold between the two. Carefully get all of the glass out of the frame. If the glass is broken into shards, you may need to shake the frame a little to dislodge any stuck pieces. Be careful when handling shards of glass. Broken glass should not be put into a trash bag, so place it all in a cardboard box or directly into an outdoor trash container or dumpster.  Making sure all the shards are out of the frame is important. Any shards left in the frame may cause the new piece of glass to not fit properly, or may even break the new piece. Take precautions in the area where the frame broke to ensure no glass pieces are on the floor. If there are pieces of glass on hard floors, use a broom and dust pan to sweep them up. If there are pieces stuck in the carpet, you can use a vacuum, or use a cloth or gloves to carefully pick them up by hand. If this is hard to do, try measuring the cardboard backing. If you are not sure, make a paper template. You will be using this to get the correct size glass. If the picture frame is not a square or rectangle, always make a template.  If can’t get a perfect measurement, it is best to choose a measurement that is shorter rather than longer. A slightly short measurement will make the new piece of glass a little loose in the frame, but a measurement that’s too big will cause the piece to not fit at all. For example, if the measurement is between 10 ⅝ & 10 ¾ inches, it’s best to go with 10 ⅝. Frames can be constructed in different ways. Yours may be just the metal frame and the glass sits directly in that frame, or there could be a cardboard insert where the glass sits. This is why it is important to measure exactly where the glass will be placed to ensure you get the right size.

Take the frame apart. Extract all of the broken glass. Measure the opening where the glass sits.


Work to improve digital literacy by learning and teaching others about the availability and uses of new technology. Recognize that new technologies are emerging with greater and greater frequency.  Being a responsible digital citizen requires we know how to use these technologies appropriately. Furthermore, recognize that teachers now need continual training on how to properly use technology in the classroom.  Ensure that your children and those children in the school nearest your home are digitally literate by calling and asking whether they have a plan to increase students’ digital literacy. There are several curricula and lesson plans available online to help guide educators. The New York City Department of Education has made a comprehensive guide called “Citizenship in the Digital Age” that includes lesson plans for grades K-12. Digital access refers to the degree to which people are able to participate electronically in society. Be welcoming when interacting with others online.  There are also more active ways to advocate for the increase of digital access for all people, regardless of socioeconomic status, abilities, and physical location.  An important policy issue today is providing equitable access to technology for all students, and there are many organizations working to achieve this goal. Here are a few other ways you can help increase digital access:  Lobby your local politicians to prioritize public access to the internet and the availability of computer equipment for public use. Support those politicians and community organizers work for these causes. Contribute your unused technological equipment to your local library or a school that can use it. Volunteer with an organization that works to increase digital access. Digital rights and responsibilities help to shape and ensure the freedoms that everyone should be able to enjoy online. Note that rights come with responsibilities.  Be aware of you own rights and responsibilities in the location and network you are using, and share this information...

Work with a doctor to create a customized action plan for your child. The doctor can help you understand asthma symptoms and medications. The asthma action plan you make should include at least the following:  The name and dose of the child’s long-acting medications, and how often to take them. The name and dose of the child’s short-acting rescue medication. A list of the child’s asthma triggers, or at least a list of common asthma triggers and how to avoid them. A system to rate severity of the child’s symptoms from normal breathing to mild symptoms to moderate symptoms to severe symptoms. Indications for when to use rescue medication and when to contact emergency services. Emergency contact information for the child’s doctor. Sit down with your child and review their action plan with them, explaining things at an age-appropriate level. Help your child learn self-management skills to empower them and encourage them to stick to their care plan. You can use tools from the American Lung Association to determine if your child is ready to carry their own inhaler, and interactive websites for kids to learn about asthma management.  For instance, you can say something like, “This is your inhaler to use every day, just like how you take a vitamin every day. If you ever really can’t breathe well, this other inhaler will help. You should always have it with you, but just use it when you need to.” One interactive website is called ‘Lungtropolis: Where Kids with Asthma Learn to Play.’ Check out a Student Readiness Assessment Tool to see how prepared your child is to manage their own care. Record when, how often, and the duration of when your child experiences symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Note times when symptoms interrupt school, playtime, and sleep. Keep track of how often your child uses a rescue inhaler.  Use a wall chart, journal, or anything that helps you stay organized. If your child is old enough to participate, consider using an electronic system like GoogleDocs – something that...

Work with the editors of each section of the newspaper to come up with story ideas. Consider the most timely or pertinent news for your readers. What do they need to know? Make a list of the most important stories and assign these to reporters. Give hard deadlines to ensure you will receive their work in time for publication. Ask around in your community for news stories or press releases. Organizations and other groups may have formal press releases that talk about their current news. Talk with people in your community to get a feel for the stories that are most worthy of reporting. Articles should give more than one viewpoint and have information that is factual, easy to read and engaging. Reporters should interview at least two sources, if not more, in order to present a balanced story. Be meticulous about editing. Ensure that articles are fact-checked and that details are correct. Spelling and grammar should be perfect. If an article needs revision, send it back to the writer for more work. If the story is not up to par, think about holding it over until the next issue. It is crucial to establish a positive reporting and publishing reputation for your newspaper, especially with your first issue. If you have ads in your paper, you need to make sure these look as professional as possible so your advertisers will be satisfied.

Work your knife’s blade under the outside edge of the trim. You may also cut through some paint while doing this, but that’s okay. Cut all the way around the trim to free it. Make sure to cut all the way through the caulking to avoid damaging the paint when you pry off the trim. Slide the edge of the pry bar under the trim near a nail. You can tap a hammer against the back of the bar to help wedge it in. Pull back one piece of trim at a time, taking care not to damage the walls and door jamb. It doesn’t matter which side you start on, as long as you remove all the pieces you want to replace. To protect the walls, hold a scrap of wood against the wall and rest the back of the pry bar against it as you work. There’s not really a way to protect the jamb besides being very careful when leveraging the trim. Use the utility knife or a chisel to remove any old caulk left over. You may also need to scrape down thick layers of paint to level out the space where the new trim will rest.

Working a Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 job may not be in your best interest, and working overtime may be out of the question. If your health is waning or your pain is worse when you’re working, try cutting back your hours. Work 3-4 days a week part-time instead of giving up work altogether.  Avoid traveling for work, if possible. Sitting on a plane or in a car for long periods can exacerbate pain, as can the pressure change when you fly. If you have limited energy or strength, prioritize your tasks. Work on your most important tasks first and use your remaining energy for whatever’s left. Ergonomics is the science of designing products to make them efficient and comfortable for use. Splurge on an ergonomic chair or computer keyboard for your workspace, and set up your desk to be as ergonomic as possible. Do not design your space so that you have to twist your body frequently – be able to sit in good posture with proper forward head posture. Setting up a comfortable workspace can greatly improve your pain at work. Learn to recognize what causes pain flare-ups for you, and have items in your workplace that alleviate your discomfort. Keep a variety of clothing around if you’re sensitive to changes in temperature, and have an ice pack or heating pad available. Have your pain medication on-hand. Be as prepared for flare-ups at work as you are at home. Learn the timing of when to take your medications. Find a way to balance any side effects from your pain medicine, such as sleepiness, with taking them to maximize pain relief. This may necessitate some trial-and-error, but once you figure out a schedule, stick to it. Always take your medications as directed by your healthcare professional. If your meds make you groggy, consider talking with your doctor about non-drowsy options. When you begin to experience regular bouts of pain, sit down and assess your ability to work in your current environment. It might help to write down all of the tasks that you preform. Then, go through and see which ones will be difficult or...

Working as a psychologist requires an advanced degree, but first you need a bachelor's degree. You don't have to major in psychology, but it should be a degree that is at least associated with the field of psychology. Here are a few relevant alternatives:   Human development. This studies the path from infancy to adulthood.  Sociology. This field studies how the human subject behaves in social groups.  Anatomy/physiology. This is a good bachelor's degree to get if you are interested primarily in cognitive psychology and how the brain functions.  Chemistry. This kind of study is more appropriate for cognitive psychology than clinical psychology, as it focuses on the science behind human behaviour and not the behaviour itself. Many college psychology departments engage in their own psychological research. Students participate as research subjects and as assistant researchers. Research experience is vital for being accepted into a graduate program. This step is more for your junior or senior year in college. In your courses, it won't be uncommon for your TA or professor to announce that so-and-so is looking for a research assistant.

With a focus or minor you can start thinking about the rest of your career.

Working in finance can be intense and stressful, so you should expect your new job to come with a lot of pressure. Realize that this is just par for the course, and if you aren't the type of person that works well under pressure, becoming a quantitative analyst may not be the right job for you. When you're not at work, take time to relax and relieve stress. Do yoga, meditate, exercise, or read a relaxing book. You'll need to perform a variety of tasks while working as a quant, and may have several projects in the works at one time. For instance, you may need to develop trading strategies, price derivatives, compile reports, and present models to others. Additionally, you may be required to do financial research, statistical coding, and complete risk management projects. Prepare to switch between tasks while keeping track of your progress for each project. A certificate of qualitative finance (CFQ) is not required to work in the field. If your company instructs you to complete the certification, however, you should do so. The certification program is composed of 6 online study modules to be completed within 6 months.  Topics that will be studied include linear algebra, derivatives, calculus, numerical methods, option pricing formulas, and finance modeling. You'll be required to complete a practical programming project at the end of the course.

Working out during the day is an incredibly effective way to rest better at night. In fact, exercise seems to correspond so directly with sleep quality that many of our hypotheses about the purpose of sleep stem from our observations of how exercising depletes our energy reserves. Just be sure not to exercise within 3 hours of bedtime, as it can have a temporary stimulating effect. Make a stop at the bathroom just before bed. This will help you to clear your digestive system so that you fall asleep more easily — and stay asleep throughout the night. In the same vein, don’t drink large amounts of fluids in the hours leading up to your bedtime and which might wake you up in the middle of the night. Limit what you drink after about 8 pm. Make your body as comfortable as you can for sleep. If some of your clothing feels tight, don't hesitate to loosen or remove it. This includes your hair bands, socks, bra, and anything else that might feel like it's not letting blood circulate freely. Make sure that you have enough pillows and blankets to be comfy, as well. If you pay attention to how you sleep, you might notice that you are sleeping in a bad position or putting strain on your posture. Keep your back straight and make sure your neck is not resting too high or too low. If your bed is too firm or too soft, consider replacing it, covering it with a foam pad, or even sleeping with a body pillow to make yourself more comfortable.
