Do some strength training exercises that can help boost your chest muscles. Adding muscle also speeds up your metabolism and helps you burn more fat, which may reduce the amount of tissue in your chest area. You can choose to do weightlifting exercises such as pec flyes or use your own body weight with moves such as pushups to sculpt your chest muscles and burn excess calories and fat.  Perform one set of eight to 12 reps of each exercise to start. Gradually build up to three sets as you get stronger.  Keep in mind it is impossible to "spot treat" weight loss — that is, you can't lose fat in just one specific area. Doing a ton of chest exercises may give you really great pecs, but may not affect the fat that covers the muscle. That's why it is important to combine strength training with cardio, too. One of the most effective ways to sculpt your chest muscles is by doing push-ups and variations of them. Push-ups target your chest muscles and the smaller muscles around your chest area. In addition, they can help build back and abdominal muscles, which can help you slim down overall.  Get into a plank pose. Keep your arms straight and your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Bend at your elbows and lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Remember to keep your abs and leg muscles engaged. Try half-plank, or knee, push-ups if you are unable to do push-ups in a plank position. To do this, start on your hands and knees instead of the plank position, then adjust so that your head, torso, and knees are all in a straight line. Aim to get your groin, chest, and chin to touch the ground at approximately the same time. Your hips should not bend. Consider adding push-up variations such as military push-ups, chest squeeze push-ups, and archer push-ups after three to four weeks to give your chest a new challenge. Pressing any amount of weight up from your chest can also help to strengthen your chest muscles. From chest presses to bench presses, doing a variety of these exercises can help you define...

Do the head first dive to get to base faster while avoiding a tag.  Keep in mind that doing a head first dive requires lots of practice. Don’t do this slide in a game, unless you know how to do it properly. Reduce the risk of injury while diving by tucking in your shirt and wearing batting gloves, and a helmet. Make sure you dive correctly by following these instructions:  Lead with the left side of your body. Lean forward. Take one stride back to the base if you have time before making the dive. Don’t touch the ground until you reach the base. Avoid the tag by touching the outside corner of the base.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Learn the most advanced form of sliding. Start the dive by pivoting your feet back towards the base. Make sure that your right arm is extended towards the base as you finish the dive.

Do this about 6 inches (15 cm) from the end of the yarn.  Make a loop with the yarn. The free end (i.e., the end that does not lead to the ball of yarn) should pass behind the loop. Insert the crochet hook through the loop, hooking the free end. Pull the hooked yarn forward (towards you) through the loop and then upwards into the hook's working area.  Hold the base of the slipknot with your forefinger and pull the free end to tighten. The loop should be firm but not too tight; it should easily slide back and forth along the hook. Check that you have 6 inches (15 cm) left on the free end. Note that you might need to make this longer if you want a scrunchie with a wider tube.  Start your chain stitch with a yarn over (passing the yarn over from behind the hook). Use the hook end to draw this yarn through the loop on the yarn. Now you have your first chain stitch. Repeat this step nine to eleven more times. Insert the hook into the loop of the first chain next to the slipknot. Yarn over. Pull the yarn through both loops on the hook.  You want the loop to go through the hair band so that you have two interlocked circles. This will be the "base round." Place a marker on the slip stitch to mark the end of this first round. Push the hook through the stitch underneath, yarn over, and pull the new stitch through. Hold the base round horizontal with the three new stitches standing upright. Push the crochet hook through the stitch. Yarn over twice. In other words, wrap the yarn around your hook twice before pushing the hook through the work. Push the hook through. Work a slip stitch from your current stitch to the third chain stitch from Step 4 to form a round. You will notice that you are making a tube that encases the hair band. The tube will follow the hair band around into a circle.

Make a slip stitch. Make a chain 10 to 12 chain stitches long. Pass one end of the chain through the hair band and slip stitch the two ends of the chain together to form a loop. Make 3 more chain stitches. Work a double crochet stitch (called a treble stitch in UK terminology - see Tips, below) into each of the remaining chain stitches on the base round. Join the round with a slip stitch. Repeat Step 3 ten to twenty times.


Do this approximately 5 to 6 weeks before you want to transplant them into your garden. Plant the seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep. You can keep seed pots inside near a window or outdoors in a protected area as long as daytime temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10° C). Germination will occur in 2 to 5 days. Brussels sprouts transplants should be started in April for May planting. Brussels Sprouts can be direct seeded up until mid-late June for a continuous harvest. Till the soil and mix in organic compost. Brussels sprouts do best in loose organic soil that retains moisture. They grow best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Amend it if necessary, using the appropriate fertilizer. Brussels sprouts like a pH level of 6.0 to 6.5. Soil temperature should be 70-80°F (21-26°C) for optimal growth. Brussels Sprout is a heavy feeder and will also benefit from applications of boron, calcium and magnesium, particularly during the early stages of growth. They are ready when they are 4 to 6 weeks old and around 6 inches (15 cm) tall.  Remove the plants from the seed pots. Soak the root balls in a general plant fertilizer mixed with water before planting them in the garden. Follow the fertilizer manufacturer's guidelines to prepare the correct concentration of fertilizer solution. Space the plants 24 to 30 inches (61 to 76 cm) apart. If the transplants are spindly or growing crooked, you can bury them in the ground up to the first set of leaves so the plants do not become top heavy.

Do this for each family member, so that you can predict what you will put on T.V. Go to findinternettv.com to see a list of popular shows usually shown on cable channels.  Many channels are choosing to stream new episodes of popular shows on their website. Also, check Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and Amazon Video On Demand to see what shows are available using these services. Most shows on HBO, Showtime, AMC and similar channels are available for purchase by episode or the season on iTunes and Amazon. It is estimated that 90 percent of shows on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox are available online. In most cases, this requires waiting approximately 6 months to 1 year to stream a full season of your show from Netflix for no extra charge. Some shows (often some of the more popular series) do not grant streaming rights to Netflix. In this case, you’ll need to buy or rent the shows from Amazon, iTunes or another service. For movies, you can rent new movies on gaming consoles, Amazon and iTunes, if they are not available with your Netflix subscription. Cable subscribers frequently bundle their Internet and cable service together. Call your cable provider to inquire about how much the Internet will cost without bundling, and research what other internet providers there are in your area. In some cases, you may not save money by cutting the cord. You may want to price out how many services you will need to subscribe to and compare the cost of cable minus the cost of Internet service.

Do this if you want to reduce your sugar or carb intake further for health reasons, such as lowering blood sugar, controlling insulin spikes, or losing weight. In this step, you will cut down further on the amount of sugar and carbohydrates you consume.  Remember that it may take weeks or a couple of months to comfortably wean yourself off refined sugar and processed foods, so don't rush into this second step. Increase your intake fresh vegetables — they provide crucial vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Keep dried fruits to a minimum or eliminate them completely. They should be celebration foods, not everyday foods. They are also packed with sugars. Cut out sugary sweeteners like maple syrup. Honey has a lot of great nutritional benefits, but try to keep your use to a minimum. This type of diet, also called the "caveman diet," means completely grain free. There isn't a lot of research to support this type of diet or its health benefits, but if you feel better without eating grains, you can try it out. By this stage you should be completely over your sugar cravings, and eating minimal amounts of starchy carbs or grains already.  A Paleo diet does not include potatoes, grains, rice, or legumes such as beans or peanuts. It does not include processed sugars of any kind, although fruit is allowed.  The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is another grain-free diet. However, experts suggest that it may result in nutritional deficiencies because of its strict limitations. Are you happy where you are?  You might find that you thrive on next-to-no carbs, or you might notice that your body needs more carbs than you are giving it.  You can move up or down the ladder as you feel, but don't start eating refined sugar or processed foods again.  They are very harmful to your health.  If you start getting sugar or carb cravings, it's a sign you have woken your sleeping Sugar Monster by eating too much sugar, so you need to cut back until the cravings pass again. Don't make life a misery.  If you're at a dinner party and your...

Do this in the same way you would normally ship a box from home with the post office. Insert your item(s) in a suitable box and pad the items well with things like newspaper, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap. Then take the measurements of your box. Depending on the company, the information you have to provide for your package may vary. Generally, length, width, height, and weight are necessary to ship a package. Go to the homepage of the company you are planning to use to ship your package. Select the "Schedule a Pickup" option and input the necessary information to calculate postage and shipping details. Then:  Double check the shipping and return addresses. Verify the label policy. You may need to use a special label provided by the company, which you may have to order by mail or pick up from a brick and mortar location, or you may be able to pay with a card and print one. Choose a time for pickup. Seal your package with tape. Then tape or stick the label in place where it's clearly visible. Do not cover the bar codes of the label with tape. If the company you are using requires a special label, you may have to fill out shipping documents before the driver can take the package. Generally, the driver brings these when picking up the package. Some companies may require you to be present at package pickup. Others may require you to select a pickup location, like your mailbox, at your front/back door, and so on.

Do this well before you're ready to bake the pizza, so the oven has plenty of time to get quite hot. If your oven tends to run cool, turn the temperature up to 450°F (232°C).  If you're using a baking stone or pizza stone, place it in the oven so it gets preheated as well. If you're using a baking sheet, place it in the oven at this time. Spread homemade pizza sauce (or sauce from a jar) onto the crusts. Layer on your favorite toppings, making sure not to go overboard or the crusts won't get crisp. Finish by sprinkling on your favorite type of cheese.

Do this while the jars and the food are both still warm. Adding hot food to cold jars will cause the jars to crack.  Leave 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) of headroom at the top of each jar and bottle.  Wipe the rims of the jars and bottles to make sure food drops won't affect the seal. Screw on the lid rings and make sure the lids are securely fastened. The wire rack will keep the jars from touching the bottom of the pot, helping the contents of the jar get evenly cooked and ensuring that the jar seals properly. Use a jar lifter to place the jars on the rack. Fill the pot with water until the jars are covered by 2 inches (5.1 cm). Boil the jars for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pot with a jar lifter and place them on paper towels.  Wait 24 hours before handling the jars. They should be completely cool before you put them into storage. Check the jar lids. A slight indentation in the flat lids shows that they have been properly sealed. If any of the lids are not indented, open the jars and use the contents instead of storing them.

Fill the jars and bottles with the food you wish to preserve. Place the lids on the jars and bottles. Set the jars on a rack inside a deep pot. Boil the jars.


Do you become filled with terror at the thought of being put on the spot at a social event? Are you afraid that people will judge you? This fear can come from being asked a personal question in front of others, or just being invited to a social gathering of any kind. If you have SAD, this fear would dominate your thoughts and causes you to feel panicked. For example, if you have SAD, you may feel a sense of terror when a friend asks you a question in front of people you don’t know. You may worry that people will judge you for what you say and be too afraid to say anything as a result. A common symptom of SAD is a feeling of self-consciousness that dictates how a person interacts with others. People with SAD are always afraid that they will embarrass themselves or get rejected in some way. If you feel extremely self-conscious when in a social setting, before a social interaction, or before a public talk, you may have SAD. For example, if you feel like you have nothing of value to say when you are discussing a subject that you are actually passionate about, you may have social anxiety. Instead of contributing your ideas and opinions, you may be obsessing over thoughts that the other people don’t like how you are dressed or that they don't think you are intelligent. A common trait of someone with SAD is avoiding instances where they may be forced to speak or interact in a social setting. If you go out of your way to avoid social interactions or having to speak in front of others, you may have social anxiety. For example, if you are invited to a party but you refuse to go because you are too nervous about hanging out with other people, you may have social anxiety. People with SAD generally fade to the back of discussions because they are too nervous about voicing their thoughts. They are afraid that what they say will displease others or warrant ridicule. If you often find yourself staying silent during conversations out of fear, this may indicate that you have SAD. For example, if you are in a discussion with...

Do you enjoy trying different kinds of sports, or climbing all over jungle gyms? Maybe you’re a hands-on kid, spending your free time building forts and horsing around with your friends. You might be the strongest and fastest person in your school! Believe it or not, these fun, physical things that you love could all become a career. For example:  Professional athletes make money playing their favorite sport, while people like coaches, referees, and sports medicine doctors all build their careers around sports too. Construction workers and mechanics get to work all day with their hands, building and fixing things from the ground up. ”Having a job” doesn’t always mean sitting at a desk all day! There are plenty of fun and active jobs for people who like to be on their feet. This might sound boring, but these classes in school can help you find your future job. Do you especially enjoy learning about and using logic and fact? Take note! Math and science skills are amazing skills to carry into a career.  Inventors, scientists, economists, engineers, and computer programmers were all once students just like you, who now work with numbers, facts, and logic in their careers. Even if your adult job isn’t based in math or science, these skills can help in all sorts of professions! Draw, write, paint, entertain, and create. If you’d rather daydream, do crafts, tell stories, or make music than learn facts and figures, that’s OK! Embrace your dreams and work hard on the things you do enjoy. There are so many careers for people just like you. Artists, authors, actors, musicians, and designers are all professions that require creativity, among hundreds of others.

Do you feel like playing a straightforward, melee, damage-dealing character? If so, you have two main options. Also, check out the next step below these for more versatile options that are still focused on melee combat.  The Nord is a great option for a first character. You'll be skilled at two-handed weapons, will get more money for selling loot, and have a Light Armor bonus and racial abilities that keeps you mobile and able to survive the early game.  The Orc is phenomenal at surviving damage, and dealing damage in melee. With immediate access to Orc stores and trainers, bonuses to crafting armor and weapons, and bonuses to both one-handed and two-handed weapons, you'll have many options to choose from. If you enjoy playing sneaky characters, but want to specialize in stealing and exploration more than combat, make an Argonian or a Khajiit. The higher starting Lockpicking and Pickpocket skills are particularly useful at the beginning of the game, since improving them at a reasonable pace requires succeeding on the attempts in the first place.  Argonians have a better Lockpicking bonus, a Light Armor bonus, and a racial ability that regenerates health once per day. All of these will make life as a low-level sneaky character a bit easier. The Khajiit have a better unarmed damage bonus, a better Sneak bonus, an Archery bonus, and tend to be more versatile. Pick this if you are not fully committed to the thief archetype, or you want to be a well-rounded combat character as well. Sneaky characters who are also good at combat prefer bonuses to Sneak, Archery, Alchemy, and Light Armor. The Khajiit and Wood Elf are excellent options, while the Dark Elf is a fine choice if you'd also like to dabble in Magic. There are several different types of magic, but you don't need to pick just one. High Elves have bonuses to all five, plus large bonuses to Magicka (the energy or mana used to cast spells). They are great for an overall mage character build and are a good starting race for newcomers.Bretons are versatile mages...

Do you feel like you always do the talking and he is just listening because he has to? Is he skimpy on how much he actually discusses with you? This could be a sign that he’s not really the person he portrays himself to be. For example, he may only share the bare minimum of what he has to in order to maintain your relationship. He probably isn’t really interested in getting to know you if he doesn’t ask you questions or doesn’t look for your opinion. A guy who is genuinely interested in you wants to know how you’re doing and how your day has been. He wants to hear from you every day, or at least every other day. If he can go a few days or even a week without hearing from you, he may not truthful with how he feels about you. Couples who spend a lot of time at each other’s homes typically leave essential items there. Toothbrushes, hairbrushes, clothing, and other items are usually accepted if the person wants to make room for you in their life. If not, the relationship may be less serious than you want. Leave something at his place and see how he responds. If he returns it to you the next time he sees you, ask if it’s OK to leave it there. If he says no, he may have other romantic interests in his home all of the time or he isn’t as committed as you are. You can tell a lot about a person by their body language and how they talk. Look at him closely the next time you are asking him a question about the relationship. You may find out a lot just by paying attention. If he changes his story, looks uncomfortable or nervous, repeats the same question, or is only willing to listen to his side, there’s a chance he is full of it. The way he behaves when you’re feeling under the weather says a lot about how he feels about the relationship. While he may not do the same things you would if he were sick, what he does—or doesn’t—do, can tell you how much he cares. For instance, if he brings you food or simply just comes over to cuddle with you, there’s a good chance he really cares for you. He may not be invested if he stays away.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

See if he really listens to you and engages in the conversation. See if he checks in with you each day. Watch if he welcomes your items into his home. Watch his behavior when he talks to you. Note how he responds when you’re sick.


Do you feel like you're crying too much? While this is subjective, on average women cry 5.3 times a month and men 1.3 times, but this crying varies from watery eyes to sobbing. These averages may not necessarily take into account times when crying is more frequent because of some sort of emotional life event, like a breakup, the death of a loved one, or other major life events. When crying fits start to feel out of your control and affect your personal or work life, then it may be considered a problem worth addressing. You're more likely to feel overwhelmed and find yourself in a cycle of sad or negative thoughts during these highly emotional periods. If something is going in on your life that causes your stress or anxiety, you may be more likely to cry frequently. For example, if you're mourning the death of a loved one or just mourning the end of a relationship, crying is normal and understandable. But, sometimes life itself can become overwhelming and you may find yourself crying without understanding why you started crying in the first place. In this case, excessive crying may be a sign of something more serious like depression or anxiety. If you find yourself frequently crying without understanding why you feel sad, worthless, irritable, start experiencing pain, trouble eating, have trouble sleeping or have suicidal thoughts, you may have depression. Seek medical attention to learn treatment options. Start being aware of the situations leading up to your crying fits and write them down. When do the fits happen? Are there certain days, situations, or scenarios that elicit intense crying? Are there things that trigger a crying fit? For example, if listening to a certain band reminds you of your ex, take the band off of your playlists and avoid listening to the provoking music. Same goes for pictures, smells, places, etc. If you don’t want to be exposed to these upsetting reminders, it is ok to avoid them for a while. Write down any negative thoughts and ask yourself if they're rational. Likewise, consider...

Ask yourself if your crying is a problem. Think about why you cry. Identify crying triggers. Start journaling. Evaluate yourself. Understand how thoughts affect your emotions and behavior. Reach out. Know what to expect with professional therapy.


Do you feel that you are often put into a box because of your skin color or racial background? You don't have to be. You can be whoever you want. Like what you like. Country music. Poetry.

Knowing what you like and engaging others in your interests will make you feel more confident. Remember that it is OK to be who you are. It is in your power to become whatever you wish or to stay just the way you are. It's your choice! Another simple way to build confidence is by taking care of your temple. When you know that you are caring for yourself you feel better about the you that is being put on display for the world.

If you're stumbling through the day on too little sleep your mental health and self-perception could be at risk. Regular sleep of approximately 7 to 9 hours will improve your self-esteem and overall health.  Getting in touch with your spiritual side can do wonders for your confidence.

Do you have a favorite scary movie, or a favorite spooky character? Do you like zombies, or ghosts, or ghouls? Create a theme around that!  Your theme can dictate the kinds of costumes your guests wear. For example, you might host a Dead Rock Star party, where everyone must come dressed as their favorite dead rock star.  You can also theme your games and activities at your party. One idea is to have a pumpkin-themed party—have your guests compete to carve the best pumpkin, and then serve as judges for the finished products. and drinks to serve. There are countless fun recipes for Halloween treats that you can try out and serve at your party.  Try making some "Witches Fingers" by dyeing some honey with red food coloring, dipping pretzel rods in it, and rolling the honey-dipped pretzels in crushed peanuts.  Craft special Halloween-themed drinks for your party guests. You could try the “Pugsley Adams Punch” which calls for equal parts orange juice, white grape juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, apple juice, and lemon-lime soda, then garnish the glasses with a gummy worm. Set aside a room in your house, or use your garage or backyard, and create a walk-through haunted house to scare your party guests with.  Use spooky sound effects and music to make the house even scarier. You can buy Halloween sound effects CDs or download them to play at the party. Use red and black lights to create a spooky ambiance in your haunted house and at your party.  Have friends volunteer to hide in the haunted house and jump out to scare other guests as they walk through. These can range from costume charades where your guests have to guess each other's costumes, to playing hide-and-seek in the backyard once it gets dark.  One fun game to create for your guests is a DIY costume table. Use some leftover materials from school projects or crafts and allow your guests to make their own masks when they arrive.  Another activity to try is to have your guests "guess the body part" in covered boxes. Use things like cooked noodles to...

Do you have a particular feature in your home or on your property that you think would be particularly desirable to potential buyers? For example, do you have a beautiful in-ground swimming pool that looks dazzling during the summer or a huge oak tree that looks beautiful in the autumn? If so, attempt to sell your home at a time when these features are at their finest. Accentuating your unique or desirable features at the right time of year will help you especially if you are holding open houses to advertise your property. Before you sell your home, you will need an ample amount of time to make improvements, deep clean your home, and clear away any unnecessary clutter. You may also want to consider doing some work on your yard and the area surrounding your home. You should only sell your home once these essential tasks have been completed to make your property as attractive as possible to potential buyers. The best time to sell your home is when it is in its best condition. Expect buyers to have high expectations of your home’s condition. You are more likely to successfully sell your home at or near asking price if your home is in prime condition when you list it. Rain and other less-pleasant weather can deter home buyers from actually going to look at homes. Pleasant weather encourages more home buyers to go out and look at open houses and tour homes that are for sale. Sunshine is great for getting people into a good mood, and clear skies can improve the appearance of your property and create more positive reactions to your home. The weather varies greatly region to region. Consider selling your home when the temperatures in your area are pleasant and you have a higher percentage of sunny days. Look for incentives in your area as cues to when to list your home. For example, if there is a rebate for first time homebuyers being offered (or some other sort of incentive that will be ending at a particular time), you should list your home prior to the end of these incentives. Buyers may be looking to buy before...

Do you have any relationships in which you feel suffocated, bossed around, confused or distressed, or just plain fed up with being told what to do a lot of the time (and feeling very guilty that you keep giving in)? Is there someone in your life around whom you feel you have to tiptoe and be super careful to mollify or not anger? Do you know someone who seems to have "buttons" for going off at you at the simplest of things you say or do, often without rhyme or reason? If you feel that any of these situations have a ring of familiarity to them, then you may be dealing with a controlling person.  Controlling people can be male, female, or outside of the gender binary. Controlling relationships can be romantic or platonic. Be just as wary of a jealous friend who hates your significant other as you are of your significant other, especially if your friend is unhappy with their romances. Just because someone has a forceful personality doesn't make them a controlling personality. The test is: Do they allow you to be yourself, or do they unduly influence your behavior?  Distinguish people with strong boundary issues from controlling people by testing their reactions to other topics. If someone always blows up if they're touched without warning but doesn't react in a controlling way if you wear your hair differently or lose weight or gain weight, etc., that is a boundary issue. Other people's personal choices such as changing religion, dieting, grooming or exercise are boundary issues. Even if you think you're right and they're wrong, someone who's sensitive on any of these subjects is holding a boundary when it's about what they do with their life and how they're treated. It's when they start telling you who you are, what to wear, think, feel and do that they're being controlling. Don't feel too bad if you discover that you are sometimes controlling with other people in your life, especially if you grew up with a controlling parent. On a deep level, whatever you grew up with feels "normal" and it takes work to stop...

Consider how you feel around the people in your life before all else. Look for moodiness. Suspect any person who has a temper and uses it often. Think about how this person reacts to being asked normal questions. Listen to how they speak to you. Be wary of any person who seems incapable of understanding or accepting the word "no. Consider what happens when you want to be yourself or do your own thing. Review how this person sees difficult situations, mutual decision-making or issues of responsibility.


Do you have more than one dog? You may find that your dog eats quickly because he fears the other dog will steal his food, or maybe he eats quickly in order to race over and eat the other dog's food. This behavior is called competitive eating. Feed your dogs from separate bowls placed at either end of the room. This gives each dog a chance to eat from his own bowl without the pressure of the other dog breathing down his neck. If the greedy dog is determined to steal  food, then feed him in another room, out of sight of the other dog. This takes the pressure off the victim dog and removes the temptation of extra food for the greedy dog. You may find that your dog will still rush over to eat the rest of the other dog's food purely out of habit. This could be a result of food insecurity. Feeding him on time will create a sense of food security. The dog might have had an unfortunate experience that made him feel this is necessary. For example, the owner was late home and the hungry dog found leftovers from an uneaten meal. When the next meal appeared, he bolted his food and went in search of leftovers (from his pal's dish) out of a sense of food insecurity. If he loves fuss and attention, distract him immediately after he finishes his food. Get him to sit and reward him with lots of positive attention. If this is done consistently, he will come over to you for attention, rather than dash over to the other dog's bowl. Persevere with the changes in feeding. While not everything may work, you might find something that helps your dog. Remember, it's going to take time for them to learn to slow down when eating. If you still find that your dog is greedy or aggressive over food, it may be a possessiveness problem, rather than a speed eating problem. Dogs are most likely to be aggressive over food if one dog has something the other dog wants.

Determine if your dog is a competitive eater. Separate food bowls. Feed your dogs regularly. Retrain your dog. Stick with it.


Do you love the taste of your caffeinated drink and the jolt of energy it can give you? Most people drink caffeine for one or both of those reasons, but too much caffeine can do serious damage to your system. If you’re constantly sipping on your caffeinated drink of choice, it’s probably time to slow down and help your body return to a more normal state. Up to 400 mg a day is ok, but any more is too much. 400 mg of caffeine is equal to the amount in 4 cups of coffee or 10 cans of soda. However, it is not safe to drink 10 cans of soda in one day. This is only an example to show how much caffeine it contains. If you are drinking more than 3 caffeinated drinks per day, your health might be affected. In moderate doses caffeine is healthy, but larger amounts can cause serious problems. Some of the reasons to quit caffeine are:  Increasing hypertension risks keeps the liver busy from filtering other toxins tooth decay weakened bones addiction/dependence causes anxiety a cycle of hyperactivity and/or inability to focus, followed by a subsequent "crash" disrupted sleep habits may interfere with weight loss and has been linked to hypoglycemia financial costs to support caffeine purchases caffeine dehydrates your body and can make you gain weight a desire for a healthier pregnancy decreased libido or sexual performance If caffeinated drinks are an essential part of your day, you might need a replacement. Drink more water -- it is the healthiest and best choice. Switch things up with green tea, fruit infused water, or sparkling water, but steer clear of sodas, many of which are caffeinated.

Do you need help or can you solve this yourself? If you feel you can solve the issue yourself, then ask what is the root cause of your problem. Could your stomach pain be related to too many crunches first thing in the morning, the acidic juice you just drank, a physical pain which needs to be discussed with your GP or is there a psychological or emotional matter being dealt with which is manifesting itself in your body?  Learning to address your internal issues is as much about good health as is eating the right diet. Find ways to answer simple health problems at home through doing research in reputable books and websites. If you need help, decide on your first port of call. A doctor is always a good starting point if you feel you need help but in some cases, you may prefer to go to a specialist, such as a dietician, a dentist or an ear, nose and throat specialist. The choice will depend on the problem and whether or not you've accurately pinpointed it. In some cases, it may be best to see the doctor first, explain your concerns and confirm who the right person to see is. Check that the doctor or health professional you'd like to use is covered adequately by your insurance or that you can afford their services.

Do you see golfers hitting insane tee shots with bad technique? Do you see Major Leaguers hitting towering home runs with bad technique? Do you see swimmers carving through water at breakneck speeds with bad technique? We didn't think so either. The right punching technique will not only make your punches harder; it will make them more efficient, meaning less energy gets packed into a bigger punch you will have to practice. Boxing and martial arts are good to help make yourself move faster and be more flexible and stronger.

Do you talk back to your teacher? Do you distract your other classmates? Are you constantly talking during class or interrupting other students? Do you distract the teacher from teaching or get up at random times? You should evaluate your own behavior to figure out why your teacher seems to dislike you. If you realize that your actions are making your teacher dislike you, then it's time to make some changes in your behavior. If you are unsure why your teacher doesn't like you, ask them to have a private conversation with you. Don't actually ask "Why do you hate me?" Instead, you should express to your teacher that you'd like to do well in their class, and ask them what you can do to improve as a student. Prove to your teacher that you're a serious student and that you respect them. This may lead to your teacher respecting you back. A few phrases you can say are:  "Passing this class is important to me, and I'd like to know what changes I need to make in order to make that happen." "I'd really like to improve my relationship with you because I feel like I can learn a lot from you and this class. Please let me know what I can do to make that happen." A genuine apology will go a long way with your teacher. When you apologize, you need to do two things. First of all, you need to acknowledge your wrongdoings and the negative impact that your actions have caused. Secondly, you need to show remorse for your actions. You must be genuine with your apology, and make a conscious effort to not make the same mistakes going forward. If you're feeling bullied, scared, or hurt by your teacher, it is important that you talk to the principal or to your parents. It is never okay for a teacher to bully a student, so you should seek help if you can't fix your relationship with your teacher on your own. If you believe your teacher is being inappropriate, talk to someone about it immediately.

Evaluate your actions. Ask your teacher why they seem to dislike you. Apologize for your wrongdoings. Talk to your parents or to the principal.


Do you want a large, fancy crown or a simple tiara? Do you want it to look natural or fantasy-like? Take a look at the different types of shells, and see how they could be put together to form a crown. For example, pointy turret shells that look like unicorn horns would make great points for your crown. Starfish, sand dollars, or scalloped shells could make pretty centerpieces. Try to get an assortment of shells, such as: scalloped/fan shaped shells, pointy "unicorn horn" turret shells, conch shells, and snail/cat's eye shells. You can also get some sand dollars or a star fish for the center. It would also be a good idea to buy some embellishments and fillers, such as: pearl beads, glass beads, sea glass, and tiny rhinestones. You can use these to fill in any gaps. You don't have to head out to the beach to get shells. You can buy bags of them from the craft store. You can paint all of the shells the same color, or you can use different colors. Purple and teal are great options, but you can use other colors too, such as pearl, pink, or gold. You can also skip painting the shells if you want a natural-looking crown.  You may need to apply several coats of paint. Allow each coat to dry first before you do, however. If you want something more natural, but still shimmery, paint your shells with a single, light coat of pearl-colored paint. Paint your shells decoupage glue (ie: Mod Podge), then sprinkle extra-fine scrapbooking glitter over them. Tap off any excess glitter. For something more subtle, outline the shells' edges, ridges, and grooves with liquid glue, then add the glitter.  Use a glitter color that matches the shell to prevent any clashing. Iridescent is also a good option. You don't have to add glitter to all of your shells. You can leave some un-glittered.

Design your crown. Gather the shells for your crown. Paint the shells with pearly acrylic paint, then let them dry. Add some glitter, if desired, then let the shells dry.


Do you want a mansion?  Or are you comfortable with a humble two-bedroom ranch house?  More importantly, can you afford the type of property you want?  Deciding what you can realistically afford is an important first step in buying the right property for you.  A property should not cost more than two and a half times your total annual salary. If you are in a committed relationship with someone who will be footing at least part of the bill for the property, solicit their opinions on what they think a reasonable property investment is. A mortgage is a loan to finance the purchase of your home.  Conduct a realistic evaluation of your finances and obtain your personal credit report to determine what kind of home loans you qualify for.  Credit reports can be obtained from any of the major three credit agencies, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.    These describe how eligible you are to receive loans and credit. Typically, lenders do not want you to assume a mortgage in which monthly payments are more than 28% to 44% of your monthly income.  Several UK mortgage providers will lend funds of up to 80 per cent of the purchase price for second home purchase over, typically, a 15-year term. There are a variety of fees associated with buying property.  The fees you pay depend on where in Florida you are buying and what realty agency you are buying through.  Remember, these can always be negotiated, so if you want to ask the seller to split a certain fee with you, feel free to do so.  Typically, you will have to add about two to five percent to the basic purchase price in order to cover the needed fees.  Some of the common costs associated with buying property include:  recording fees (charged by the government to record change of ownership) legal fees paid to a lawyer who verifies the validity of the contract title insurer and notary fees title insurance premiums transfer taxes realtor’s fee property taxes appraisal fee mortgage fees A home inspection will give you more information about the condition of the property. ...

Do you want to bike outdoors or use a stationary bike? The advantage of stationary bikes is that you can do other things while you ride, like watch your favorite TV show. Regular bikes, however, get you outdoors and can have a positive impact on the environment if they replace transport by car. Of course, you can always do both.  If you choose a regular bike, be aware that there are many different bike styles, from mountain bikes to road bikes to beach cruisers to fixed gear bikes. Bikes can vary widely in price. The type of bike you choose will depend on your body type and on where you plan on riding. Talk to your local dealer, and consider arranging a bike fitting.  If you choose a stationary bike, you’ll either need to buy one or join a gym. You’ll also need to decide between a recumbent or an upright bike. Choose the former if you have back problems; choose the latter if you don’t. Upright bikes also help strengthen your core. According to Cornell University weight-loss researcher Brian Wansink, wearing fitted clothes made of lycra instead of baggier outfits makes it easier to keep track of your weight loss. Wansink found that prisoners tend to gain weight because of the baggy jumpsuits they’re forced to wear.  Loose-fitting clothes will also create drag and slow you down. Choose clothes that make more visible to motorists.  Over-dressing to sweat more (a common practice in France) won’t actually help you lose weight. A helmet is a must-have if you plan on taking your bike on the road. Make sure you buy one that fits you properly. You’ll also want to bring along a patch kit to repair busted tires and a small hand pump to inflate them. If you plan on storing your bike outside, get a bike lock.  It’s also a good idea to carry a saddlebag to store your ID, your keys, and your phone, which might fall out of your pockets as you ride.  Carrying a water bottle means that you can stay hydrated while you ride.  Consider carrying carbon dioxide cylinders in your pack to quickly re-inflate flat tires.

Do you want to create a single piece of artwork to give to a grandparent or relative or are you planning to track your child’s hand size through time using artful designs?  If tracking the changes in hand size, purchase a large art folder to keep the paintings in. Always date the back of each piece of artwork for reference. (It's a good idea to keep digital copies too, in case of damage or loss of the original handprint artwork.) Another method to keep a series that tracks your child’s development, is to create small cards with your child’s hand and mount them to a long piece of tag board.    How will you create art from your child’s handprint? Will you turn his or her chubby print into swimming fish or animals or perhaps recreate the alphabet? Have a design game plan ahead of time and even sketch out how it will look. You may want to design something more permanent, possibly using clay or even plaster. Take your child’s age, time commitment and supplies into consideration before deciding which type of art project you will attempt.    Although even a baby can make handprint art, be sure your child is in the right frame of mind and whether the project will be more of a difficult task rather than an enjoyable experience. Identify who will help you with the project. It's helpful to have someone else helping out with supplies if possible. But it's not essential unless you're supervising a group of children.

Determine what you hope to accomplish with this project. Choose your designs. Decide if your child is ready to participate.


Do you want to cut soda out of your diet completely? Or will it be something you have as a treat once or twice a week? Think about what will work best for you. If you’re not sure how much soda you want to cut out, use a calorie counter to figure out how much you are consuming. You will probably discover that you’re taking in hundreds of empty calories in the form of soda. For some, it's about the sugary taste. For others, it's the caffeine rush. It's important to know what you are getting from soda so that you can figure out an alternative to help move you away from soda. If it's caffeine you like, coffee and tea are going to be better choices than soda. Investigate different coffee drinks (both hot and cold) and teas. There are many options beyond black coffee and black tea. You might want to try  Iced tea Flavored black tea Cold brew coffee For many people, the sweetness and carbonation of soda are what make it most appealing.

Do you want to work faster?  Do you want to spend less time looking for documents or files?  Organizational skills can enhance many aspects of your workflow.  To help you stay focused on the best steps to remedy your disorganized work habits, think about what the end result of a more organized office or workspace might look like. The task of developing organizational skills can take time.  Break it into smaller, more manageable chunks to ease the burden.  Try to integrate at least one new organizational technique into your workflow each day.  For instance, you might start by organizing your desk drawer.  The next day, maybe you’ll start by organizing your storage folders and files.  The third day, you could try re-ordering your project queue so the work projects due soonest are on top. Think about your work space and find small ways to become more organized each day. Give each assignments or project a separate folder and order them by due date or importance.  After finishing a project, empty the folder and bin documents that you won’t need again. If you are unsure which assignments are most pressing, or need more time to work on something, ask your boss which tasks are absolutely crucial and which can be deferred. You probably have a lot of stuff in your cubicle or workspace that has nothing to do with your work.  Recycle it, throw it away, or take it home.  For instance, your takeout menu from the local Chinese joint should be recycled.  Even some work-related documents or items should be removed.  You don’t need two pairs of scissors or two staplers, for example.  Find an appropriate place for the extra stuff in your workspace. The one-touch rule demands that you either discard, file, or act on a given memo or document (by, for instance, replying to it) immediately.  By dealing with incoming documents immediately, you avoid a build-up of unread documents. Label each folder clearly according to its contents.   For instance, you might label one folder “Budget - 2012” and place everything related to the 2012...

Do you want to write in an elegant handwritten journal? Or would you rather create a daily blog? There are benefits to both. A handwritten diary can be easily carried in your purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. An online blog is more interactive, and you can include links to other sites, photos, respond to comments, etc.  Try different formats until you know what you prefer. Personalize your diary to express your personality, using stickers, drawings, photographs, widgets, or anything else that you might want to include. You might sometimes write long entries, and other times just a quote that caught your attention. Include mementos of your day, such as flowers pressed between the pages of your diary, or a special card or paper wrapper. You might want to add a photo of something you saw that day, which may be accompanied by a story...or, it might not.  Try cartooning a diary entry. Particularly if you’ve never drawn before, this can be a fun thing to try to make your diary interesting. Write a daily entry in haiku, or another kind of poem for variety. If you write your diary by hand, try writing with a variety of pens or pencils. Writing in colored ink may change the things that you think to write about, or you might try color-coding your thoughts. Writing with a calligraphy pen or a fine fountain pen might lead to new ideas.  If you write with a pencil, you can easily include sketches in your diary. Colored pencils can also lend themselves to new and interesting ideas. Try writing with gel pens, ballpoint pens, felt-tipped pens, fine-tipped or thicker tipped pens. If you've never tried creating a diary online, explore some of the free options such as Penzu, Dear Diary, My Diary or Diary.com. Popular blogging programs, like WordPress, Live Journal, and Blogger, can also be set on "private" settings and used as a diary.  Digital diaries have many possibilities for personalization, and allow you to be very creative with content. For example, you could include audio clips, or video options. Consider adding...

Do your best to estimate how much your entire trip will cost. Factor in travel expenses (plane or train tickets, gasoline if you're driving), hotels or hostels, travel insurance, passport or visa fees, transportation at your destination (taxis, buses, car rental), the average cost of a meal (or set the total amount you are allowed to spend on food each day). Be sure you leave yourself some cash to splurge on something special and something extra for emergencies.  Research the cost of the activities that interest you--look up the admission fee to the Musée d'Orsay or the price of a ticket to a Broadway show. The more accurate you can be with costs, the better you can plan your trip. Many cities offer some kind of tourism pass, which, for a flat fee, grants free or discounted entry into popular attractions like museums, tours, and historical sites.  If your plans exceed your budget, you may need to make a few sacrifices. Stay at a hostel instead of a hotel or skip the four star restaurant. Being flexible will make it easier to stick to your budget. Don't forget to look up the money conversion rate if you're going abroad and work that into your budget. There are dozens of websites you can use to search for reasonable flights all over the world. Take the time to check multiple booking search engines, as they don't always feature the same deals. Try the airlines' direct websites, too. If you're not flying, you can book train and bus travel online, too.  Be sure you have plenty of time to switch planes if you have a layover in another city. Studies have shown the best time to buy a ticket for a domestic flight is between 100-50 days (3.3-1.5 months) before to your departure date. Tickets for international flights are usually lowest between 171-50 days (5-1.5 months) before travel.  If you're not sure how you want to get to your destination, a website like Rome2Rio will give you estimated cost and travel times for just about every mode of transportation. Train travel is big in Europe, and websites like Seat61 can...

Do your best to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day. Since it’s tough for teens to get the recommended 9 to 10 hours of sleep nightly, you might need to catch up on shuteye over the weekend. Just try to go to bed and wake up no later than 2 hours later than you do during the week.  If you normally go to bed at 11 and wake up at 7, try to stick to that schedule as closely as possible. If you don't, you may feel extra tired Monday morning. Sleeping in on the weekends can curb a sleep deficit, but oversleeping too much can ruin your sleep schedule. Coffee and tea are obvious sources of caffeine, and you should avoid drinking them at night. Additionally, steer clear of lesser-known caffeine sources, such as soft drinks, chocolate, some pain relievers, and decaf coffee. If you try to head to bed after stimulating or strenuous activity, you’ll probably end up tossing and turning for a while. An hour before bed, do relaxing activities, such as listening to soothing music, reading, and taking a hot shower or bath. Your hour of relaxation time should be quiet. Try not to have stressful or stimulating conversations. Do not watch an action-packed TV show or listen to fast and loud music. Electronic screens emit blue light, which your brain mistakes for afternoon sunlight. Additionally, browsing social media or watching an exciting show before bed can make it harder to calm down and go to sleep. If you have to use your phone or computer before bed, lower the brightness an install an app that filters blue light. For example, the app F.lux automatically warms the colors emitted from screens when it gets dark outside. Following a nightly hygiene routine before bed can send a message to your brain that it’s almost time for sleep. Read or listen to calming music for around 30 minutes, then take a shower or bath, put on your pajamas, and brush your teeth. Remember a hot shower or bath can help you falling asleep by lowering your body temperature.

Try not to stay up and sleep in more than 2 hours on the weekends. Stay away from caffeine 4 to 6 hours before bedtime. Begin your relaxation routine about an hour before bedtime. Power down your electronics at least an hour before bed. Shower and brush your teeth to let your body know it’s bedtime.


Do your best to keep the temperature in your bedroom just below 70 °F (21 °C). Sleeping in a hot and uncomfortable area is not a good or relaxing way to sleep, so do your best to get air regulation throughout the room.  Clean up regularly, and change your sheets every 1 to 2 weeks, or whenever they’re dirty. A cluttered space can increase stress, and it can be tough to relax if your sheets are smelly.  Additionally, use your bedroom only for sleeping. Don’t work, eat, talk on the phone, or do other activities in bed. That way, you’ll only associate your bed and bedroom with relaxation and sleep. Light pollution can also impact how well you sleep. When you're setting up your room for the night, consider investing in blackout curtains. These will help block any unwanted lights, including those coming from the street or other nearby buildings. to soothe your senses. Try adding lemon balm oil, chamomile oil, lavender oil, or marjoram to a hot bath. You could also purchase an oil diffuser with reed sticks, light candles, or use a linen spray.  Try aromatherapy while you're winding down before bed. You could also keep a diffuser on your nightstand so you'll smell soothing aromas as you lie in bed. If you light a candle, be sure to blow it out before you go to sleep. Go for loose, breathable fabrics, like cotton, instead of heavy materials, like flannel. Tight, heavy sleepwear prevents your body temperature from lowering, which is necessary in order to fall asleep. Sleepwear that feels soft and comfortable can also help you relax.  Sleeping nude or in underwear also helps your body regulate its temperature. Consider stripping down if you regularly feel too warm in bed. Your sheets should be cozy and breathable, too, so replace them if they're scratchy or uncomfortable. If your mattress is old or lumpy, replacing it might solve your sleeping problems. When shopping for mattresses, always test options in the store by lying down for at least 5 to 10 minutes.  Go for an option that's soft enough to meet your comfort...

Do your best to keep your phone fully charged before an outage strikes. Try to maintain a full battery by shutting off any unused apps and minimizing the brightness of your screen. Shifting your phone into airplane mode will also help to keep the battery full. When your phone is charged, keep your phone calls short to further conserve the battery and not tie up networks. Before a storm hits, go through your house and turn off all electronic items that could suffer from a power surge. Even with surge protectors, laptops, TVs, and certain appliances, such as stand-alone microwaves, could be damaged if not unplugged. For small electronics that you would like to use during an outage, such as a cell phone, include extra charging devices in your emergency kit. A car charger, for example, can help keep your cell phone powered up. Additional batteries can help keep your flashlights going. If you use a wheelchair or other assistance device, talk to the manufacturer about what non-electric charging options are available. In the event that the power is out for an extended period, there may be some important documents, like insurance coverage materials, that you need to access. Keeping copies of these items on a portable drive or Cloud location makes it possible to access them anywhere. These extra copies can also keep your information safe in the event that a power surge does damage your laptop or other devices. Choosing a generator can be a tricky process. It is often best to consult with an electrician who can instruct you regarding how to buy, install, and work your generator. Some generators tie directly into the home power source, whereas others are portable, but provide less overall power. Operating a generator safely is extremely important, as they can put off toxic fumes if not properly ventilated or installed. If you plan to use a generator, go ahead and install carbon monoxide alarms in all rooms and gathering spaces of your home. Many doors operate with electricity and you may want to drive your car even...

Do your best to make the arrow as even as possible, but don’t worry about making it perfect. Make 1 side of the arrow a triangle point and the other side a square. Draw the square bigger than the triangle. Then, use your scissors to cut the arrow out. Use colorful or painted cardboard if you want your wind vane to look nice. Put a coffee or soup can down on top of your cardboard, then use a pencil to trace around the rim. Next, cut outside the line of the circle so that the cardboard piece is larger than the rim of the can. Any medium, large, or extra large can will work for this project. However, a coffee or soup can will be easiest to use because they're big enough and are open at the top. Use your scissors to carefully poke a pencil-sized hole in the middle of your cardboard circle. It’s okay if the hole is a little smaller than the pencil, as it will widen when you push the pencil through it. Be careful as you do this because it's easy to slip and cut yourself. It's best to ask an adult to help you make the hole. Start with North (N) at the top of the circle. Moving clockwise, write East (E) on the right side of the circle, South (S) at the bottom of the circle, and West (W) on the left of the circle. Then, go back and write Northeast (NE) exactly halfway between North and East, Southeast (SE) halfway between East and South, Southwest (SW) halfway between South and West, and Northwest (NW) halfway between North and West. To make things easier, abbreviate the directions by using their initials. Insert the end of the eraser through the hole in the cardboard, then push the pencil down through the hole. Go slowly so that the hole in the cardboard doesn’t widen too much. Use your hands to mold the clay into a ball. Next, press the eraser into the clay ball. Mold the clay around the eraser so it stays in place. The clay will act like a weight that holds the pencil upright while you’re using your wind vane. Add enough sand or gravel to fill up about half of the can. This will make the can sturdy so it stays in...

Draw a 13 cm (5.1 in) long arrow on a piece of cardboard and cut it out. Trace the circumference of a can and cut around the circle. Poke a pencil-sized hole in the middle of your cardboard circle. Write the 4 primary and 4 intermediate directions on your circle. Push the eraser end of an unsharpened pencil through the circle. Roll a small piece of clay into a ball, then push it onto the eraser. Add sand or gravel to your can to keep it in place. Put the clay ball on the sand or gravel, then lower the circle onto the can. Tape a pen cap to your arrow and slide the cap over the pencil's eraser. Bring your wind vane outside to find the direction of the wind.


Do your best to set the puppy up for success and minimize the opportunities to have “accidents” by using crates, dog pens, baby gates, and leashes to control the areas to which your puppy has access. The area surrounding the crate does not have to be much bigger that four to six feet around when the puppies are small.  The area around the crate will increase gradually as the dog gets more housebroken and as large breed puppies get bigger.  The more control the dog has, the more “freedom” they earn. Allow longer periods only when you are sure he will ask to go out when he has to go. This strategy should not take more than two weeks for him to get the picture. A doggie door is great if you have a proper fence (one that a puppy cannot get under or over) and a gate. Even if you do have a proper fence, be aware of area wild animals that might eat your puppy such as coyotes, etc. Don't leave your dog unattended outside for long periods of time. If you don’t have a backyard, a doggie door, or someone who can come let your puppy out while you’re away, you can still use a paper-training method to get a puppy to eliminate in a designated indoor spot. This is just an extra precaution in case the puppy needs to go and cannot wait for you to return home. Place newspaper or a small, accessible box out for the puppy. Since the puppy will want to eliminate in a spot where he can smell previous urine or feces, you can place the rags you used to clean up previous accidents in the box.  Some people hold that spreading newspapers suggests that peeing in the house is acceptable. They therefore advocate skipping the newspaper and dealing with any messes. Every owner has to start somewhere. If that means cleaning up a few messes, then that's what's going to be best for your dog and family. Using newspapers may delay the process a bit, but if you gradually decrease the size of the newspapered area and eliminate messes in undesignated areas of the house completely, you will still be successful.  You will be using confinement to a...

Do your best to stick to your normal sleeping habits, whether you have the entire summer or just a couple weeks off from school or work. Go to bed and wake up at the same times every day, and avoid sleeping too late. A change in routine can disrupt your workout and eating routines.  If you sleep too late in the day, you’ll be less likely to be physically active and more likely to gain weight. Getting the right amount of sleep will also help maintain your metabolism. Go for 7 to 9 hours if you’re an adult and at least 8 to 10 hours if you’re a teen or younger. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same times every day will keep your metabolism in check. You’ll also be less likely to graze on unhealthy snacks throughout the day. If you do snack between meals, go for healthy options, like Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries or 10 to 15 raw nuts. Summer is a great time to get more physical activity in because the days are longer and the weather is warmer. For some people, the warm weather and a lack of routine can make it difficult to follow an exercise regimen. However, you should keep up with your workouts, or start exercising if you don't already. Whether you go on brisk walks, jog, or ride your bike, try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day.  Try out new activities to get more exercise during the summer. For example, you could go for a hike, go swimming, have a water balloon fight with friends, or run through sprinklers with your kids or pets. Try using a physical activity diary to track your workouts and hold yourself accountable: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/pdf/physical_activity_diary_cdc.pdf. Talk to your doctor before taking on a new exercise regimen, especially if you have an existing condition, like heart or joint issues. If you have extra time on your hands during the summer, committing to a new responsibility can help you resist the urge to lounge. A part-time job can keep you busy while offering extra cash. You could also volunteer for a cause dear to you, like at your...

Do your best to wipe up an accident as soon as you spot it. If you can get to a puddle while it’s still wet, absorb as much liquid as possible with paper towels. When your first wad of paper towels gets saturated, swap it out with fresh ones. If a puddle on a bare floor has already dried, skip ahead and wipe down the area with a cleaner. If you’re dealing with feces, scoop it up carefully to avoid spreading it, especially if it’s on the mushy side. Remove solid pieces with paper towels, 2 pieces of cardboard, or a sturdy plastic bag. If there’s any wet residue left behind, wipe it up with paper towels. It’s a good idea to wear a pair of disposable gloves when you’re cleaning up your pup’s accidents, especially if you’re picking up fecal matter. Once you’ve absorbed a urine puddle or removed feces, spray the soiled area with the cleaner. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes if the mess was fresh, or for about 10 minutes if some time passed before you could attack it. Then wipe the area thoroughly with paper towels until it’s dry.  An enzymatic cleaner breaks down the substances in pet messes that cause odors and stains. Since dogs like to go in the same spot repeatedly, eliminating all traces of the mess will help lower the chances of future accidents in the same area. Find an enzymatic cleaner anywhere household cleaning products are sold. Read your product’s instructions, and use it as directed. If you have hardwood floors, go with a product that’s labeled safe for wood. If you don’t have a product labeled for pet messes handy, several household products make good substitutes. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water, and add a heavy splash of lemon juice to cut the vinegar smell. Transfer the vinegar solution to a clean spray bottle, or apply it using a sponge or paper towels.  Let the vinegar solution sit, then wipe it up with a dry cloth or paper towels. Diluted vinegar should be safe for most floors. If you’re concerned, double the solution’s water content and test it on an inconspicuous area, such as under a...

Do your research on famous artists of the past and present. By taking a look at their work, you can try to determine how it lays the foundations for contemporary illustration. When researching famous illustrators:  Take note of how they use composition, color, and line to bring their art to life. Determine the tone and lines of your favorite artists and try to emulate them by using the same colors or line styles. Research the materials that they used and try to replicate the process by using the same materials. Famous historical illustrators include people like Jean André Castaigne, Edwin Austin Abbey, and Rose O'Neill. Some successful contemporary illustrators include Pat Perry, Dagna Majewska, and Mouni Feddag. Visiting art museums and galleries will enable you to view other artist's illustrations in person, which is a different experience than seeing a picture in a book or online. Do a search online to find open art galleries near you. You may want to specify your search so that you can find illustrators that use the same medium or draw the same subject matter as you.  Take note of their style and technique and find things that you like in other people's art. Things that you can notice in person that may not be obvious in a photo may include things like the texture of the drawing. Graphic novels tell a story by using sequential art and text. Unlike comic books, graphic novels tell a complete and often time more complex story. Pick up a graphic novel at a comic book store and take note of the various styles that exist. Art books, on the other hand, allow you to view a variety of different pieces of art from artists that you appreciate in a textbook format. These are good to get if you're unfamiliar with an artist's work or you can't make it a museum.  The primary types of graphic novel include, manga, superhero stories, personal narratives, and non-fiction. Some of the most popular graphic novels include titles like Uncle Scrooge, Persepolis, and Maus.  Some popular contemporary art books include "Every...

Doc Martens are made out of stiff, full-grain leather. The official website recommends using Doc Martens Wonder Balsam to clean and protect the leather and to help make it softer. The Wonder Balsam is a mix of lanolin, beeswax, and coconut oil, so you can also look for an off-brand product or create your own blend. Beeswax is an important factor in keeping the shoes water-resistant, so look for it as an ingredient if you are buying a different balm or making your own. The inner lining of Doc Martens is made of an abrasive material that rubs against the foot and creates blisters. Removing the insole takes some of the friction away and helps prevent blisters. It's still best to wear thick socks to prevent blisters around the ankle. Wrapping the shoes first will help protect them from getting damaged by the hammer.

Doc Martens tend to run true to size, but try them on anyway to make sure you buy the right size. Boots in the right size should feel tight, but not uncomfortable.  If the shoe feels immediately uncomfortable when you try it on, especially in the width, it is too small. Doc Martens only come in whole sizes.

Doctors often advise feeding the infant more frequently, but for shorter lengths or for smaller amounts at time. When a baby is fed too much in one sitting, the stomach distends too quickly, which can cause the diaphragm muscle to spasm. Burp before you switch breasts if you are breastfeeding. Burp after the baby eats 2 to 3 ounces (60 to 90 ml) if you are bottle-feeding. Pause to burp or stop feeding if the infant stops nursing or turns his or her head away. Burp more frequently if you are feeding a newborn, as newborn infants will eat less in one sitting. Newborns usually feed eight to 12 times a day. Feed your infant as soon as they seem hungry. A calm baby will eat more slowly than a hungry, worked up baby. A baby may also swallow excess air during a crying fit. Signs of hunger might include crying, mouth movements such as sucking motions, or restlessness. Write down the time and duration of each hiccup episode. Keeping track of when the baby experiences hiccups can help you determine if there is a common pattern and help you focus your efforts to relieve the hiccups. Note whether the hiccups occurred during or shortly after feeding. Scan your notes and look for triggers.

Adjust the infant's feeding schedule. Pause and burp often during feedings. Learn the baby's hunger signals. Note when the infant suffers from hiccups.


Doctors rely heavily on symptoms and response to treatment for diagnosis. The doctor must rule out alternative diagnoses that may masquerade as GERD: functional heartburn, atypical cases of achalasia, or distal esophageal spasm. Based on your symptoms, you will likely be prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). These block the acid production in the stomach. If there is no response to these medications, your doctor may try additional tests. The specific tests as suggested below are usually only used if there is unclear diagnosis for GERD, or if there are more serious symptoms.  Some testing, such as esophageal manometry, is recommended for preoperative evaluation. Endoscopy is recommended in the presence of alarm symptoms and for screening of patients at high risk for complications. An upper GI endoscopy procedure helps to evaluate the overall anatomy and identify any structural problems or complications from the disease. This test confirms the presence of acid reflux disease and is useful determining the extent of damage to the esophagus. Other upper GI conditions are also diagnosed by this method.  Examples of other conditions diagnosed by doing an upper GI endoscopy include anemia, unexplained nausea and vomiting, ulcers, bleeding, and precancerous abnormalities. An upper GI is done by inserting an endoscope, which is a long and flexible tube with a camera on the end, down the throat and into the esophagus. This allows the examiner to see the lining of your upper GI areas including your esophagus. Your doctor will give you clear instructions to follow prior to the procedure. Follow the directions provided by your doctor. The items listed here are provided for information only, and may differ from those provided by your doctor.  Do not eat or drink anything for at least eight hours before the procedure. In order for the doctor to clearly see the lining of your esophagus and stomach area, your stomach needs to be empty. This includes smoking, eating any food, drinking any beverages including water, and...

Does he or she get around easily, or only with help? Does he or she have trouble with steps, or walking through crowded rooms? Make sure your chosen venue is wheelchair-accessible (if necessary). Consider both the guest of honor and his or her friends. For example, if you are planning a party in January and live in Michigan, you must consider the possibility of snowy or bitingly cold weather. It may not be the best decision to bring a senior citizen out in nasty weather conditions as they are more susceptible to catching illnesses. Be prepared to change plans if the honoree is unwell on the date of the party. It would not be wise to have a 90-year-old attend a party if he or she was under the weather. Many (though not all) 90-year-olds no longer drive their own vehicles on a daily basis. Recognize if this will be an issue for your guest of honor. Offer to be a driver, or find someone who is willing to drive your honoree and his or her friends, if necessary. While you are planning a 90th birthday party, it does not have to be solely focused on the number 90. Instead, think of the current or past interests of your honoree and see if you can incorporate these into the party. This is a great opportunity to be creative!  If your birthday honoree loves the outdoors, consider booking a place in a local park and bringing food to cook on a grill. If your birthday honoree loves Italian food, book a private room at the nicest Italian restaurant in town, and decorate it before the party. If your honoree’s favorite and most memorable moment was her honeymoon in Paris, recreate a French restaurant in your kitchen and dining room and take her back to her younger days. Giving him or her a hand in the party planning can be a great topic of conversation and a fun way for them to stay involved in the party process.  Questions you may want to ask include:  Would you rather a small family gathering, or a large event with friends included? Would you rather a party in the afternoon or in the evening? Would you like a home-cooked...

Does its coat suit your climate? Is it small enough to live in your apartment or house? Does its energy level suit the amount of exercise you can provide? Careful consideration of these questions will ensure your puppy's well-being and will also impact the happiness of your household. . Puppies love to explore with their mouths. To keep your puppy and house safe, you'll need to take a few precautions.  Remove breakable items from the area where you plan to keep your puppy. Keep all electrical cords raised or covered, and close all low windows. Lock away toxic cleaning supplies/chemicals. Get a trash can that is too tall for him to get into and too heavy to knock over, or store the trash can in a cabinet. Consider getting a folding gate or exercise pen to keep him confined to a certain room or area. The kitchen or bathroom is an ideal place for his bed during the day because those rooms are usually warm and have washable floors. At night, keep your puppy in his crate in your bedroom. This will allow you to hear him during the night, so you will know if he needs to go outside to relieve himself. These are better than glass because they do not chip and stay cleaner. If you have other pets, be sure to give each pet their own food and water bowls to avoid conflict. At feeding time, you will separate them to prevent fighting over food and to ensure each pet gets the nutrition they need. You might consider a crate with a crate pillow, a snuggle nest, or a wicker basket with a lot of towels. Whichever option you choose, make sure it is always soft, clean, comfy, and dry. Have a blanket on hand in case of cool weather. To avoid conflict, each pet should have their own bed. Your puppy will be a ball of boundless energy, so make sure you get plenty of toys, including both chew toys and soft toys. The toys should be sturdy enough to prevent choking hazards. Don't give rawhide to puppies as a toy; use it only as a treat and watch him as he chews. Training treats should be healthy, small, and easily chewed or swallowed....
