This includes the number of periods such as months, total amount borrowed, monthly payment, and total number of years. You can find this information in your loan agreement. Common spreadsheet programs include Microsoft Excel and iWork Numbers. You will be entering the data from Step 1 into a formula bar on the spreadsheet. If you are taking out a $300,000 real estate mortgage with monthly payments of $2,000 for 30 years, enter this function formula in the formula bar: =RATE(30*12,-2000,300000). Then hit return. The function calculates the value at .59%, which is a monthly interest rate. To annualize this monthly rate, multiply it by 12, and you get an implicit annual interest rate of 7.0203%.

This includes things like low-hanging or crisscrossing branches. You should take care of water sprouts at this time as well. If you choose to prune in the summer, wait until the leaves reach their fullest size. Remove the inward-growing branches and leave only the ones that point towards the outside of the tree. This will help clear up some clutter within the tree’s canopy and allow for both air circulation and light penetration. Air and light are both important as they can reduce the growth of mold, bacteria, and pests. The light will also allow the leaves to photosynthesize. This is purely for aesthetic reasons. Take a look at your tree, and note the space between the ground and the lowest branches. Do the branches get in the way of anything, like porches, swings, etc.? If so, prune them off!  Only do 1 or 2 branches each year, otherwise you’ll shock the tree. Keep pruning yearly until you remove your desired number of branches. The younger the tree is, the more effective this will be. It is still possible for older trees, however. A fertilizer that is formulated for trees and shrubs will do just fine here. How much fertilizer you use depends on the format (granular or liquid) and the brand; read the instructions on the package.  Read the instructions that came with your fertilizer to find out if and when you should water it. The drip line is the span of the tree's canopy. Take a look at where the shadow lands when the sun is directly above your tree; that is the drip line. Plan to reapply the fertilizer every 6 weeks during the spring, until summer begins. Begin applying the mulch about 6 inches (15 cm) from the base of the trunk, and extend it out to just past the drip line. If the instructions that came with the fertilizer tell you to water it after applying the mulch, then do so now.  When reapplying the fertilizer, just move the mulch aside, add the fertilizer, then cover it back up with mulch again. If you can't move the mulch aside to reapply the fertilizer, just add the fertilizer on top of the...

Plan to do structural pruning during the summer. Start pruning with any crisscrossing or crowded branches. Remove the lower branches, if desired. Apply a slow-release fertilizer around the tree’s drip line. Cover the soil around the tree with mulch. Do additional summer pruning every 3 to 5 years. Trim off suckers and water sprouts every year in the summer.


This includes your celery salt, garlic salt, and kosher salt, as well as your dried herbs, ground black and white pepper, dried mustard, and paprika. Keep pulsing the ingredients until the herbs are broken up and the same size.  For a more authentic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of Accent Seasoning (MSG) for every 1 pound (0.45 kg) of chicken. MSG is a flavor enhancer, but it's not very healthy. If you can't find oregano or thyme, try marjoram and sage instead. Pour the flour into a large dish, then add the spice blend. Whisk the ingredients together until everything is combined. Set the bowl aside for later. You'll be placing your chicken pieces in this. The bowl should be big enough to fit at least 1 chicken breast or 1 chicken thigh. Do not add them to the bowl with the flour and spiced blend. Instead, crack the egg open into a different bowl, then add the buttermilk. Whisk the 2 ingredients together until the yolk has broken up and no streaks remain. Make sure that the bowl is deep enough to submerge all of your chicken pieces.

Blend all of the spices in a food processor until they're all the same size. Whisk the spice blend into the flour. Beat the egg and buttermilk in a separate bowl.


This information can be found on most financial webpages, or on the company's website. Using the company's net earnings or income as the primary number in the calculation is the most basic way of determining EPS.  For example, say you want to calculate the EPS of Microsoft based on its net income. A quick browse of Microsoft's website tells you that in 2012, the company's net income was almost $17 billion. Be careful not to mistake a company's quarterly net income with their annual net income. Quarterly profit is calculated every three months, whereas annual profit is calculated every 12 months. Mistaking a company's quarterly net income for their annual net income will cause your calculation to be roughly four times smaller. How many total shares does a company have on the stock exchange? This information can be collected by visiting a financial website and locating the company's information. Again, let's continue with the example of Microsoft. As of the time of writing, Microsoft has 8.33 billion shares outstanding. Taking Microsoft's vitals as our example, we'd divide $17 billion by 8.33 billion and come away with a basic EPS of 2. Take another basic example. Let's say a bocce ball company has a net income of $4 million and 575,000 shares outstanding. We divide $4 million by 575,000 and come up with an EPS of 6.95.

Locate the company's net earning or net income from the previous year. Figure out how many shares are outstanding. Divide the net income by the number of shares outstanding.


This information might be given to you. If it isn’t, you can find the length of one side if you know the length of the polygon’s apothem or radius. The apothem is the distance between the center of the polygon to the midpoint of any side, and the radius is the distance between the center of the polygon and any vertex.  To find a side length given the apothem, use the formula x=2Atan(180n){\displaystyle x=2A{\text{tan}}({\frac {180}{n}})}, where x{\displaystyle x} equals the side length and A{\displaystyle A} equals the apothem.  To find the side length given the radius, use the formula x=2rsin(180n){\displaystyle x=2r{\text{sin}}({\frac {180}{n}})}, where x{\displaystyle x} equals the side length and r{\displaystyle r} equals the radius.  For example, if the radius of a hexagon is 5 cm, to find the side length, you would calculate:x=2(5)sin(1806){\displaystyle x=2(5){\text{sin}}({\frac {180}{6}})}x=2(5)sin(30){\displaystyle x=2(5){\text{sin}}(30)}x=2(5)(.5){\displaystyle x=2(5)(.5)}x=5{\displaystyle x=5} The formula is P=nx{\displaystyle P=nx}, where n{\displaystyle n} is the number of sides the polygon has, and x{\displaystyle x} is the length of one side. Multiply these two values to find the perimeter of the polygon. For example, if a regular hexagon has a side length of 5 cm, you would calculate P=(6)(5)=30{\displaystyle P=(6)(5)=30}. So, the perimeter of the hexagon is 30 cm.

Find the length of one side. Set up the formula for the perimeter of a regular polygon. Plug the values of x{\displaystyle x} and n{\displaystyle n} into the formula.


This involves wearing a tiny micro earpiece that sits hidden inside the ear-channel. This will wirelessly connect to an inductive transmitter which is hidden on your person somewhere, usually a neckloop to be worn under the clothes or even a bluetooth pen or stylish glasses! The inductive transmitter will in turn connect to a mobile phone or MP3 player in your pocket. Like the MP3 player method above, you can record information and play it back to yourself, the difference being there is no wired earphone, if you go for the bluetooth option then the connection is completely wireless and undetectable. The other option is to make a call before you enter your exam, then communicate with someone via the earpiece and a microphone that is built into the inductive transmitter.

This is a big piece of news you are about to share and it's okay and perfectly normal to feel nervous. Depression is considered a mental illness, and because there are a lot of misconceptions about individuals struggling with mental disorders like depression, people can sometimes feel stigmatized with their new diagnosis. However, realize that opening up about your illness is one of the steps to effective coping and recovery. Many people don't just have one best friend but instead have a bunch of really close or even "best" friends. You need to think about who you are sharing the information with and whether this is a good for you.  If you are already in counseling, explore this topic of sharing your depression with a friend with your counselor, therapist, or psychiatrist. If your friend is a great listener, discreet, trustworthy, reliable, non-judgmental, supportive and mentally healthy, then this friend sounds like the ideal person to share your concerns with. Your friend can be a sounding board for you and help you maintain a healthy perspective as you work through your recovery. If you're questioning whether or not you should tell your friend about your depression, consider how you'd respond to the following questions:  Does your friend make disparaging remarks about “crazy people”? Can your friend be condescending or judgmental at times with other people? Is your friend going through his or her own depression issues? Can your friend be insensitive to you at times? Does your friend handle emotions well? Does your friend gossip or spread rumors? If you answered yes to any of these or recall any instances where your friend exhibited disconcerting attitudes and behaviors, it might be best that you just simply let your friend know that you are going through some major issues, but that you’re working on them, getting help and will be in touch. That said, sometimes friends can surprise us. If your friend is able to drop her usual behaviors or attitudes out of concern for you, and if you feel comfortable sharing...

This is a cheap, short-term solution that reduces buildup slightly, and makes it easier to scrape off. If you don't have a spray, rub on vegetable oil with a clean rag. WD40 or used motor oil have a similar effect, but they can drip off and damage your grass. Graphite, silicone, or Teflon sprays are all sold as lawn mower deck sprays (although the all-purpose product probably works just as well). Cover the entire underside of a clean, dry deck, then let dry as directed on label instructions. The effect is similar to cooking spray, but should last longer. If you are mowing a short, dry lawn, this may be enough to meet your needs. Check product reviews online before buying. Even products marketed for lawn mowers often due a poor job of long-term protection. If you tried a lubricant and were not satisfied with the result, check the ingredients on your rust protection product to make sure it isn't based on the same material. Follow label instructions for surface preparation and safety advice. No product has universally helpful reviews, and it's difficult to tell in advance which one will work for your mower model and lawn conditions. Here are a few possibilities:  A lanolin-based product such as Fluid Film leaves a non-drying coat. Some people swear by it, but others find that grass sticks even more to this coat. Test it on a small patch first.  Cold galvanization compound is a highly water resistant treatment for unpainted metal surfaces. This might be a good choice in wet climates, but dirt and debris may still wear it down much sooner than the label suggests.  Other heavy-duty rust protection products all have mixed reviews. POR-15 is one of the more popular options.

Spray the underside with non-stick cooking spray. Apply a lubricant. Try a rust protection product.


This is a classic cocktail that features gin and a variety of other alcohols. To make this delicious drink, stir together in a tall glass 1/2 ounce (15 mL) each of gin, white rum, white tequila, vodka, clear orange liqueur, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and cola. Add ice and enjoy!To make simple syrup, combine ¼ cup (56 g) of sugar and ¼ cup (59 ml) of water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool. A Caesar is a spicy tomato-based cocktail that can be made with either gin or vodka. To make this drink, start by coating the rim of a tall glass with celery salt or steak seasoning. Add a few ice cubes to the glass, and then pour in:  2 ounces (59 ml) of gin 6 ounces (177 ml) of Caesar mix or clamato juice 3 dashes each of Worcestershire and hot sauce 1 dash of olive brine Juice from half a lime Salt and pepper Garnish the drink with olives and a celery stick

This is a classic pose of confidence and calm. You have two options: either put your whole hand into your pocket, or put about half of your hand into the pocket leaving the thumb out. Hook your thumbs around your belt loops for a variation. Another option is to only put one hand in the pocket. With this hand position, it's good to place your other hand on the opposite shoulder or run it through your hair. If you want to show relaxation or thought, place your hand somewhere on your face. You have many options with this. Put your forefinger and thumb around your chin or curl your fingers and place them against your chin. Your hand on your face gives you a lot of looks to work with. Test out different hand positions to see which seems to convey what you are looking for. If you are wearing a full suit and tie, putting one hand to your tie is a classic and classy pose. Place your thumb and forefinger so that one is on each side of the knot of the tie. You don’t have to actually move the tie at all. Placing your hand there will give the appearance of movement. A slight variation to this pose is to put your second hand about halfway down the tie. If you were going to tighten it, this is how you’d look, but this pose is distinctly different from the one hand look. For a serious or commanding pose, cross your arms as you normally would. To adjust the pose for modeling, place both of your hands on the opposite arm, rather than tucking one of the hands under. Keeping both of your hands visible looks better. A variation on this look is to leave one arm hanging straight down and grabbing around the elbow with the other hand. It’s a way to cover part of the torso but gives a different impression than both arms crossed.

Put your hands in your pockets. Touch your face. Use one hand to adjust your tie. Cross your arms.

This is a combination you can never go wrong with. The best part about it is that you can wear it pretty much anywhere: meeting up with friends, going to a concert, hanging out in a park, or almost anything else you can think of. The best thing about a one- or two-tone look is that it will never go out of style. Match black jeans with black sneakers, or white jeans with white sneakers. Mix it up and wear black jeans with white sneakers, or white jeans with black sneakers. Try to play around with shades, such as dark and light grays and tans for a modern take on the classic look.  For example, you could wear dark gray jeans with black sneakers or light gray jeans with white sneakers. If you want a more bold take on this classic outfit, try matching colored jeans with sneakers of the same color or a similar hue! If you want to go for a breezy, vintage vibe, this is one of the easiest ways to do it! Choose jeans that are more form fitting through the waist and thighs and then open up at the calf, and throw on a pair of classic low-top, canvas sneakers. To complete this look, add a vintage or oversized graphic tee and tuck it into the jeans, or wear a simple, flowy top! For the jeans, go with a solid color, like light or dark blue, white, or black. Then pair them with a pair of vibrantly-colored sneakers, or a pair that has a bold pattern. Break out those cool shoes that you’ve been looking for an excuse to wear! These jeans have a little more room through the leg and don’t taper as much, which means they won’t clash with high-top sneakers. You can choose to wear the pants so they cover the top of the shoe, or cuff them to show that part off. Either way, you'll look great! Cuffing your jeans helps create a modern silhouette and can bring attention to a cool pair of sneakers. Beyond that, cuffing also helps if you need shorter jeans but don't have time to head to a tailor. Make a first cuff that is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, and then repeat this for a second one. When cuffing, you should aim to have your jeans...

This is a common and simple method of serving yakitori, which may allow you to focus on the flavor of the skewered ingredients instead of the sauce. Sprinkle sea salt over the skewers before cooking. Squeeze lemon juice over them as well, or serve a lemon wedge at the end of each skewer for the diners to squeeze themselves. In Japan, many kinds of chicken meat are commonly cooked and served as yakitori, including organs such as hearts, livers, and gizzards. Elsewhere, you may need to ask a local butcher whether these parts are available. These organs can be skewered as normal, but may require shorter grilling times:  Grill hearts for only a few minutes, until brown but not yet dry and crusty.  Cook gizzards until no trace of red or pink remains at the surface, but no longer. The inside will be red, firm, and crunchy.  Livers can be eaten when the insides are still soft and dark pink. Almost any meat can be chopped into bite sized pieces and skewered for yakitori. From a chicken alone, Japanese restaurants may serve the tail, skin, and cartilage from multiple places, among other yakitori dishes. Try making meatballs or pieces of beef or pork yakitori-style. While "yakitori" literally means "grilled chicken" and usually focuses on the meat and sauce, almost any firm, bite-sized cut of an ingredient can be skewered and grilled. Asparagus wrapped in bacon, extra-firm or deep-fried tofu, and bell peppers are all commonly cooked this way in Japan, and are sometimes referred to as yakitori.

Try sea salt and lemon instead of sauce. Use organ meat from the chicken. Try cooking any other meat. Branch out to other ingredients.


This is a common sign that a headache is coming on.  Particularly if you don’t want your friends to know that you’re faking sick in order to leave early, you’ll want to start early to make it believable. Let your teachers and friends see that your head is starting to bother you. You might want to include an accompanying squint. Sensitivity to light is a very common symptom of an oncoming migraine or headache. Even if you feel excited about something, keep your voice and actions subdued.  You don’t want to make it clear that you’re faking a headache by acting like you feel fine. Be sure to look pathetic while you tell them this.  If you don’t look pitiful enough, they may be inclined to tell you to stay. Continue rubbing your temples, and speak quietly and respectfully.  You could say “I have this weird pain on only one side of my head, and I feel dizzy when I see bright light” or “My head hurts all over, and I have this weird ringing in my ears.” Tell her that you have a headache that has been getting worse throughout the day. You can tell her that it involves sensitivity to light and sound. You can tell her that you feel nauseous as well, as this is often a side effect of a migraine.

This is a common tactic for stuck lids on glass jars with wide metal lids (like pickle jars, etc.), but it's a bad idea here. Nail polish bottles usually have lids made of plastic, so they won't deform the same way metal will if you bang them on a hard surface. If you do bang them hard enough to change the shape of the lid, you stand a good chance of breaking it, which will cause a spill. A bottle of polish that seems like it's impossible to open can be seriously aggravating, but losing your patience is a bad idea. Ripping or tearing the lid off with pliers, for instance, is a recipe for disaster — you'll likely break the lid and cause a spill. Trying to pry the lid off with a screwdriver or cut it off with sharp implements will usually lead to the same result. As a general rule, trying to get the lid off in any way other than twisting it the way it was meant to be twisted is a risky bet. Once you get the lid off, you may be tempted to leave it off (or leave it slightly unscrewed) so that it won't get stuck in the future. This is a bad idea. The lid is crucial for keeping the polish from coming in contact with air. If you let air into the bottle, the polish can dry up, making the polish useless. Instead, to prevent sticking, clean the bottle neck with polish remover and close it moderately tightly.

Don't bang the lid on a table. Don't force the lid open. Don't leave bottles open.

This is a concern for nearly any wedding. However, it matters especially if you intend to have a large reception or you want to reserve a  historic Florida location, like Sarasota's John and Mabel Ringling Estate, the St. Augustine lighthouse, or the Carillon tower at Bok Tower Gardens. With Florida's balmy climate and dazzling locales, outdoor weddings are understandably sought-after. If your wedding is on public land, be sure that you have valid permission and documentation to avoid embarrassing legal snafus.  Florida's public beach parks require a permit before having a ceremony on-site. Some of these permits are free while others cost money. For Florida beach weddings, inquire at city hall. For government-run parks such as Fort DeSoto in Pinellas county or Bahia Honda State Park, contact the ranger station or park headquarters. Florida is well-known for its hot, subtropical climate. However, many visitors are not aware that it actually has a pronounced rainy season for much of the year. This is important to know, especially if you're having an outdoor ceremony. As a very general rule:  The dry season lasts from October through April for most of the state. The wet season lasts from May to October for most of the state.

Reserve space as early as possible. Get a permit for outdoor weddings on public property. Consider seasonal weather when planning your ceremony.


This is a critical safety precaution that all trap shooters must follow or risk being removed from the shooting location. When you move from post to post, keep your gun’s muzzle pointed to the ground. Don’t reload the chamber until you are ready to shoot again. Most of your rounds should be shot in near total silence. Hold off on making any conversation or asking questions until each round has concluded and your team is moving to the next station. This allows each shooter to devote their full concentration to making the best shots possible. Pay attention to each person as they shoot and don’t try to jump ahead. Also, make sure that you are ready when your turn comes around or you could hold up your team and ruin the shooting flow. Wait to close your action or place your gun in position until you are in the shooting box. Find out the rules of the shooting location regarding empties or spent shells before you start shooting. Some places will ask that you collect them at the conclusion of each round. Others will consider all shells the property of the club.

This is a fun card to make for kids, since it comes with a band-aid you can really use! All you need are some simple supplies you probably already have in the house. Gather the following:  Three plain band-aids. A permanent marker. Three pair of googly-eyes (optional). Construction paper in your favorite color. Clear tape. This is the base of your card, so choose your favorite color, or the favorite color of the person you're making the card for. Line up the short edges of the construction paper and crease the fold with your finger. Turn ordinary band-aids into a cute little decorations that will cheer up your friend. In the center of each band-aid, draw a funny face using your permanent marker. You can make a happy smiley face or a sick frowny face, depending on what you want. Try to make each one different.  If you have googly eyes, use them as part of the faces. If not, just draw the eyes with your permanent marker.  Regular markers will smudge, so make sure to use a permanent marker. Space them out evenly on the front of the card. You'll have a top, middle and bottom band-aid, with an inch or two of space in between them. Use two pieces of clear tape to tape down the ends of the band-aids.  Keep the paper backing on the band-aids so your friend can remove the tape and use them. If you don't want the tape to show, make tiny tape loops, sticky-side out. Stick them to the undersides of the band-aids, then affix them to the card. Write the word "Get" under the first band-aid, "Well" under the second band-aid, and "Soon" under the third band-aid. Use all capital letters or cursive handwriting if you want. Start by writing the person's name, then write a few sentences to say you hope he or she recovers very soon. Sign your name at the end of the note.

This is a good opportunity to change your brake pads and clean your brakes.  For caliper brakes, unscrew the small bolt on each side of the caliper brake that is attached to the brake pad itself.     Once the brake pads are removed, unscrew the (smaller) screw on the pad/metal assembly itself, and slide the pad out of the metal piece it is attached to.     Replace the pad by sliding a fresh one in. This is a worthwhile and inexpensive repair for your bike, since brake pads are cheap and are your best friend on the road.

This is a good safety precaution, in case you lose your way in the dark or are nervous about being alone at night. You are also likely to spot more stars with two sets of eyes. Arrange your tent, chairs, blankets, snacks, and drinks on an even surface and make sure that everything is within arm’s reach of you. This way, you won’t have to fumble around too much, and you won’t risk losing anything in the dark. Remember to clean up after yourself, both to avoid animal encounters and to protect the environment. This way you won’t strain your neck as you look up at the stars, and you will mimic the comfort of lying in bed. Do this by using a pillow, re-positioning your reclining chair, or bundling a blanket beneath your head.  You can also try lying completely flat on the ground, for a fuller view of the sky. Some people find this posture slightly harder to get up from, however. You will need to turn off your regular light once you have set up your area, in order to stargaze. But, if you need to look around after doing so, you should use an infra-red light to avoid having to re-adjust your eyes to the darkness. A red light is easier on the eyes, and will not disturb your stargazing environment.  Your eyes will need anywhere from five to thirty minutes to adjust to the darkness, and turning a bright, white light off and on will deter this adjustment process. You can cover your regular flashlight with red cellophane, rather than buying an infra-red light. Try using the "averted vision” method of seeing stars and constellations, which may be useful if you find it hard to spot faint stars. Rather than straining your eyes, look just to the side of what you're trying to see. Your peripheral vision is more sensitive to light and dark, making it easier to see faint objects when the rest of the sky appears gray. Stargazing can be a fun, rewarding experience whether you are an amateur or expert stargazer. Lay back, have a snack, talk to a friend, and observe the night sky as you wouldn't normally be able to.

Bring a friend or family member along. Set up on level ground. Position your head at a 30 degree angle to the ground. Use an infra-red flashlight to relax your eyes. Put less strain on your eyes. Enjoy yourself!


This is a good way to see how they might react to your news. Knowing their opinions before telling them about your boyfriend helps you find the best strategy for bringing it up.  “Mom/Dad, I read this interesting blog about long-distance relationships…what do you think about that kind of thing?” “I have a friend dating a guy in another state. I think it’s really cool, don’t you?” “When you were dating, did you ever meet anyone you liked who lived somewhere else? What did you do about it?” It’s not always easy to find the right moment for difficult conversations, but timing is very important. If your parents are tired at the end of the day, or otherwise distracted and hard to nail down, finding the time to talk can be a big hurdle.  Going on a walk or drive with your parents can be good—not sitting face-to-face can sometimes relieve the tension. Arrange a time in advance if it’s especially hard to find private time with them. You know your parents well, so think about the most relaxed times in everyone’s day and plan ahead. Be sure to find a comfortable location for the talk—avoid noisy and crowded places like restaurants where you may be interrupted. This can be the hardest part: breaking the ice. Dropping the bomb suddenly can be difficult for everyone, so find a way to bring up the subject gently.  Mention your new friend or pen pal and how much you like them. Tell them if you met online or in person, as this will likely influence their reaction. Be completely honest and open about how you met (online or in-person). Describe how long you’ve known each other, how you communicate, and what your plans are to introduce him to your parents. Explain how much you care about your boyfriend —allow them to see the situation through your eyes. You may not always agree with them, but they are looking out for your best interests. Their wisdom was earned through their own relationships.  Hear their thoughts and advice completely before you respond. Ask them to clear up anything you don’t understand. They will be more...

This is a great remedy to try when you wake up in the morning with puffy eyes. Lie down, close your eyes and place a couple slices of chilled cucumber on your eyelids. Keep them there for about five minutes, until the slices are warm. The cool temperature will help reduce swelling and irritation. If you don't have a cucumber, try a pair of chilled spoons. Chamomile is a soothing substance that can help reduce eye irritation. Soak two teabags in water, squeeze them out, then chill them in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Place the teabags over your closed eyes and let them sit for about five minutes. Grate a white potato and spread small clumps of potato over your closed eyelids. Leave the potato on your eyes for five minutes before rinsing it away with cool water. Potato has astringent properties that help reduce swelling. Which hazel is a gentle astringent that is often used as an ingredient in first aid products meant to help with swelling. Soak two cotton balls in witch hazel, then place them over your eyes for five minutes. The swelling and irritation should subside. If your eyes are burning and itching, aloe is your solution. Dip two cotton balls in aloe vera gel, then refrigerate them for a few minutes. Place the chilled aloe over your eyelids for five minutes before removing.

This is a great way to annoy and amuse your friends. Walk up to your friends, greet them, and then make the sound. Be prepared to hear laughter or cries to stop! You can also do this individually. Sneak up behind one of your friends, and get next to their ears. Make the sound and run away. They will be completely confused. Once you’ve mastered this trick, you can use it to make a melody. Just repeat the sound till you have a consistent rhythm.  Body sounds have been used in music for a long time! For example, beatboxers make sounds with their mouths in order to imitate percussion.  Try “playing” with one of your friends. You can make the sound and they can rap along. You both can also try making the sound at the same time. Ask one of your relatives if they want to see a fun trick. If they say yes, make the sound for them. They might be surprised or grossed out. You won’t know until you try it out! If they say no, you can still do the trick, but you might get in trouble!

This is a great way to brighten your partner's day. You could leave a note on the bedside table, or slip it in their lunch bag. When your partner finds the note, they know that you were thinking ahead of time to make their day special. Though leaving a note is technically using words, but it shows a degree of consideration that goes beyond just saying “I love you.” In most relationships, the chores generally end up split in some way. Even if it starts by accident, somebody will probably end up being the kitchen cleaner and someone will end up being the car washer. From time to time you can go out of your way to do one of the tasks that your partner usually does. This shows them that you notice their efforts and want to help. Aside from keeping up you end of things, it means a lot if you always do the thing your partner hates doing. This might mean doing dishes or cleaning the toilet. It doesn't matter what the task is, your partner will appreciate that you are willing to do it for them because you love them. All too often we let our relationships get dull. We fall into a routine and we sacrifice spontaneity in the name of survival. This is pretty normal, and a schedule can be a great thing. That being said, you should break the rules from time to time and surprise your partner. This can be as simple as stopping by the store and picking up their favorite movie and a bottle of wine, or booking a hotel room for a weekend (or midweek) getaway.  Even just being playful or surprising your partner with a hug can make a difference. Do plan your surprise to some extent. If you are going to have a special evening or weekend for your significant other, make sure that they will be free.

Leave your partner a note. Do a chore you wouldn't normally do. Do a the things they hate doing. Surprise your partner.


This is a great way to create new colors if you don’t have the color that you want. This effect is also useful if you want to create a color blend, such as the multitude of shades that make up a sunset. Draw the darkest color first and then layer the lighter color on top. This helps the colors to blend and merge into each another.  Blue and yellow create green, red and blue make purple, and red and yellow create orange. Use different shades of the same color to create a medium shade. For example, layer a light blue over a dark blue to create a medium blue. If you have layered colors over each other and you think that they look a bit grainy, use a colorless pencil to even out the color. This waxy pencil helps to merge the colors together and creates a smoother blend. Simply, rub the colorless pencil back and forth over the area that you want to blend until you are happy with the finish.  Colorless pencils are sometimes known as blender pencils because of their brilliant blending abilities. Purchase a colorless pencil from an art or stationery store. Rubbing alcohol helps to deepen the colors and causes them to merge together. Dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and then wipe it over the area that you want to blend. Rub the cotton ball back and forth to create a smooth, blended look.  Always use rubbing alcohol in a ventilated area, as it has strong fumes. This technique works best on heavy paper.

This is a great way to get more than six people playing at one time. This method will also keep the groups changing each hand, allowing everyone to play together while also participating in separate games. For example you could do two groups of four, or a group of five with a group of six, or three groups of five, or anything else you choose. Do this at random so as not to be unfair. Demote the players with the highest scores and those who are working on the lowest phases. Hopefully you don't hurt any feelings, but those are the rules of the game! These could be things like talking in general, talking to specific people, laughing, coughing, scratching, or anything else you come up with. For example, maybe you make a rule that the highest player is not allowed to talk to the lowest player. If they do speak to one another, you can apply a penalty to the players.

Combine two or more groups of Phase 10 into one game by using a process of promotion and demotion. Select a similar number of participants to play in each group. Promote the winners of the first and subsequent hands along with those scoring the lowest of all players. Add spice to the game by giving point penalties for behaviors you outline ahead of the game.


This is a great way to get rid of some of the clothing you no longer wear and replace it with new pieces that you love. You'll typically get a higher trade value than cash for your clothing. Popular resale stores include Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads, and Plato's Closet. They all have different policies and are looking for different types of clothing. Just because one store doesn't want your clothing doesn't mean all of the stores won't want it. If you have designer clothes or any other clothes or accessories (sunglasses, shoes, scarves, hats, etc.) that you think could yield a profit, resell them. This will clean out your closet and earn you money to buy new clothes. These stores are more expensive than thrift stores, but still much cheaper than retail. You'll typically get a higher trade value than cash for your clothing.  There are online resale stores as well. With these stores, you'll be able to sell or trade your clothes with other users. Some of these include Poshmark, Twice, and Thredup.  Selling your clothes on Ebay or Craigslist is also an option to consider. This is only recommended if your clothing is designer-made and in good quality. If you have a lot of stuff to sell with along with your clothes, you could also consider a yard sale. Get a few friends together and see if they want to do a yard sale together. Charity is a great way to discard your old clothes (and can usually be used as a tax write-off). You'll be able to clean out your closet to make room for newer purchases. Some thrift stores offer exchanges for donations as well, so be sure to ask when you are donating your clothing. If you're skilled with a needle and thread – or even a pair of scissors – repurpose your old clothing. If you have pants that fit great in the waist but have become too short in the leg, cut them into shorts! There are even ways to turn old sweaters into purses. Look online for tutorials on how to repurpose your old clothing. You should be able to find creative ideas and step-by-step instructions. Pinterest is a...

This is a great way to learn the basics without too much pressure. The group setting will let you blend in and learn along with everyone else.  Classes are also a great way to meet people, as they provide a common point of interest for striking up a conversation. Classes vary depending on the gym you join, but some popular classes include yoga, water aerobics, dance, Zumba, cycling, Pilates, and mixed martial arts. The gym is a great place to find a workout buddy or just someone to say hi to. Having a friendly face will help you feel more at home. Introducing yourself to class instructors is a great way to make connections as well. Having that small connection can also help motivate you to keep coming to class and working out. If you’re not sure where something is or how to use a certain machine, don’t let that stop you. Ask a fellow gym member where the sauna or weight room is located. Ask a staff member to show you the proper form and correct way to use the machine. This will also help you avoid injuries and ensure that you’re getting the best workout possible.

This is a great way to open your pores so you can get rid of the small plugs of dead skin and dirt that are making them appear large and open. First, wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and dirt (otherwise, the steam will push them deeper into your pores). Heat a small pot of water until it begins to steam, then hold your face over it and drape a towel over your head. Let the steam bathe your face for three to five minutes, then rinse your face with cool water.  Steaming your face opens up your pores, allowing them to become unclogged. Rinsing afterward gets rid of the debris, leaving your pores fresh and clean. Use cool water to close your pores. Clay is a natural element that draws impurities out of the skin as it dries. When you do a clay mask, dry clay is mixed with water to form a paste, which you smooth over your face. Let it dry completely, then rinse it away with cool water.  Store-bought clay masks are available in most beauty supply stores. Look for a mask designed to unclog pores. You can make your own clay mask by mixing a tablespoon of clay cosmetic powder (white or green), a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of water. A seaweed mask, like a clay mask, will draw impurities from your pores as well as helping them close back up. Buy a seaweed mask from the beauty supply store, or have one done next time you go to the spa. Squeezing or picking at acne can cause skin trauma and scarring, and can even widen the pore permanently. It may be tempting to pop a stubborn zit, but letting it be for a few days will be better for your pores and your skin in the long run. People with oily or acne-prone skin often have larger and more visible pores that are harder to get rid of. If at-home solutions aren't working for you, make an appointment with your dermatologist and ask about treatments. Give them a budget estimate, as some solutions can be expensive. Your doctor might recommend:  A prescribed exfoliant, like Retin-A Micro. An in-office salicylic or glycolic acid peel, which cost about $100...

Do a steam treatment. Use a clay mask if you have oily skin. Try a seaweed mask if you have combination or dry skin. Avoid picking at or popping pimples. Visit a dermatologist for stronger solutions, especially if you have acne.


This is a great way to raise a lot of money. Get people to donate extra items (the kind of stuff that lies around collecting dust in the garage) and hold a giant sale. Be sure to advertise the rummage sale so that lots of people will come. With donated items, you’ll be able to raise lots of money very quickly and remaining items can be returned or passed on to charities or thrift stores. Forget the bake-sale. Baking items are expensive. Instead, set up a hot dog station. Ask for donations of large quantities of hot dogs, buns, and condiments from local grocery stores or restaurants, or you can buy these yourself from wholesalers like Costco. Advertise your event well or set up in a space that gets a lot of foot traffic and begin selling dogs. Don’t forget to let people know what you’re raising the money for and what stores might have helped you put it together! Get you and your volunteers together and sell vouchers for handymen services. You can mow lawns, change light bulbs, unclog drains or toilets, or paint a small room. You can sell these vouchers door-to-door or through your place of business. The elderly and single parents will especially appreciate these services. Collect together recipes from various members of your community. Edit the recipes and put them together as a cookbook. Sell printed copies (which you can get donated or for cheap from a local print shop) in physical form or get someone to put together an ebook, which can even be sold online. Get a local photographer to donate their time and equipment and have your business o\	r church host a family photo day. Everyone can come and pay a low fee to have their picture taken and then provide prints (which can be donated by a local Walgreens or other print shop) or provide the digital files for families to get their own prints. A percentage of any purchases you or your friends make on Amazon, Target, Best Buy, or other online retailers will be donated to your cause. Check with each online retailer to find out what the requirements are, as well as...

This is a great way to test the waters after you’ve seen the guy you like, whether you were studying together or simply at the same event. Don’t text him right after you saw him—instead, wait about 24 hours so that you don’t seem too intense.  Send a text that says something like, “It was cool to see you out the other night. I hope you had a good time.” You could also say something more forward, like, “I had a great time hanging out with you last weekend. Hope we can do it again soon!” This is a little less risky than coming right out and saying, “I like you.” It’s a nice way to compliment him while letting him know you feel fondly toward him. No one ever minds hearing that someone enjoys their company!  At the end of a hangout, simply say, “This was fun. I enjoy spending time with you,” and smile at him. If he asks you to do something, say, “Yeah, that sounds like fun. I like hanging out with you.” You could even send him a simple text that says something like, “I enjoyed studying with you the other day.” As long as he keeps agreeing to spend time with you and seems to enjoy your company, keep hanging out with him and talking on a regular basis. Before you know it, he may even be coming to you and asking you to hang out. Be careful if this guy seems like a bit of a flirt. It’s possible that he could have several other people that he hangs out with regularly that are also interested in him. You want to keep your heart safe and not put yourself into a position where you’re just chasing after him without an end in sight. If you sense that he may be playing the field, take a step back and wait to see if he pursues you. If he doesn’t, you may want to take it as a sign to move on. Remember, getting to know the guy you like and figuring out if he is developing feelings for you might take several weeks or longer. People don’t always develop romantic feelings quickly. Do your best to focus on being his friend and on keeping a positive attitude. If you get really impatient and need to tell him that you like him to see...

Send him a text after you hang out to gauge how he is feeling. Tell him that you like spending time with him. Keep asking him to hang out so you can get closer to him. Be patient and don’t stress if things seem to be moving slowly. Remember your self-worth, no matter what happens.


This is a huge, scary moment for your friend. Your friend is probably very worried about your reaction and the possibility of losing your friendship, or worse, being ridiculed or betrayed. No matter how you feel about your friend coming out, the first thing you should do is thank her for trusting you enough to confide in you. Your first reaction is important. This is a big moment for your friend. If you need a second to catch your breath, that's okay. Even if you are surprised or immediately repelled by your friends confession, your friend deserves your undivided attention. Don't give your gut reaction, but instead give your friend the time he needs to explain the situation and how he feels.  This means that you should avoid preaching to your gay or lesbian friend. Be a good friend and listen instead of telling your friend he is wrong.  It's okay to ask respectful questions. You will probably have a lot of questions. You can ask things like "Who else have you told?" or "How long have you known?" But avoid questions that undermine what they've just told you, such as "Are you sure?", "Do you think this is just a phase?", or questions that are too intrusive, such as if they've had any sexual experiences with another person. Maybe being gay conflicts with your beliefs, or you're just so shocked and confused you really don't know how to react. Keeping in mind that this is far more difficult for your friend than it is for you, it's okay to tell your friend you need a few minutes or even a few days to process the information. But if you can, give him a smile or even a hug to reassure him. Remember that your friend is likely terrified of your potential reaction and that he may have risked a lot by telling you. Keep any negative feelings like anger or disappointment to yourself. Once you make the decision to continue being friends, either treat your friend normally, or in a calm respectful manner. When you really think about it, not much has really changed in your relationship with your friend and your attitude should...

This is a key to a healthy lifestyle. The average adult doesn’t have to join a gym or sign up for a marathon to get enough exercise to stay healthy. However, you should try to vary the way you get exercise to get enough aerobic and anaerobic activity.  Some good aerobic activities include long, fast walks; jogging; swimming; and boxing. Anaerobic activity means getting your heart rate up in shorter bursts. Weight lifting, sprinting, and rowing machines are good ways to improve your heart health. Daily exercise is a great way to get a workout, but it is not the only part of a healthy lifestyle. Try parking at the back of the parking lot to increase how far you walk to the store, or pledging never to take the elevator at work, for example. These little boosts to your amount of daily exercise will do wonders for  your health. There is no one diet that is optimal for every person, as we all have natural deficiencies that we need to offset. There are, however, some healthy foods that everyone can do a better job of consuming on a daily basis. Substituting vegetables or herbal tea for unhealthy snacks is a great way to keep your blood pressure down and your whole body healthy. Malnutrition has countless drawbacks on your skin and hair health.  For healthy hair, make sure to get enough iron, protein, vitamins C, A, and E, and omega-3 fatty acids.  For healthy skin, eat yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, green vegetables, tomatoes, blueberries, peas and beans, fatty fish, and nuts. There are numerous health drawbacks of alcohol abuse, and some of them are visible. Regular drinking can make it difficult for health issues to clear themselves – which includes skin problems. Drinking also makes you appear tired and unhealthy by causing bags under your eyes. Smoking dries out your skin and yellows your teeth and fingers. It also contributes to serious health problems. Keeping your heart and lungs healthy is the best way to promote beauty from the inside out. Lack of sleep can have drawbacks on your total body health...

This is a matter of personal preference, but since you can choose between any photos you have taken with your phone camera and images you have downloaded, you may want to search online for an image you enjoy to use as your screen saver. Some image files may not display on your phone if you do not have the right software or if the file type is not supported by your phone. In this case, you will have to convert the image to a different file type. Unlock your phone if necessary, and navigate to your home screen. From here you will be able to access the main menu of your phone and change your screen saver image. You can usually find this button next to the home button below the screen of your phone. It is represented by an image of several sheets of paper stacked on top of each other. Pressing this will open a menu with a list of options. In the menu, you should see an option labeled "Settings." The icon will be shaped like a cog, and by tapping it, you will open your phone settings menu. Depending on the model of Samsung device you have, you will see either "Display" or "Device" in your phone settings list. From here you will be able to access your phone wallpaper options. Now that you're in your wallpaper settings, you will have to choose between changing your lock screen or your home screen. Your lock screen is the screen you see when you turn on your phone, where you input your phone password when it is locked. The home screen is the image behind the icons of your phone home screen. This can be a photograph of a friend, a loved one, or an image you have downloaded from the Internet and saved to your phone. Once you have chosen your image, you will have to adjust it to your liking by cropping its boundaries. Cropping an image usually entails manipulating a white box around your image to define its boundaries. If there is anything or anyone you would like to crop out of your screen saver, you can do so by pressing the small manipulator boxes located on the perimeter larger white box and sliding your finger in...

This is a method of note-taking that takes a "do it once" approach.  Use a large, loose leaf notebook. Only write on one side of the paper, so you can spread your notes out in a map later. Draw a line 2.5 inches from the left side of your paper. This area will be the recall column, where you can add terms and notes for studying. During lecture take notes about general ideas, skip lines to show the ends of concepts, use abbreviations to save time, and write legibly. After lecture, review your notes and use the recall column to dot down ideas and key words that are easy for you to recall. When studying, you can use these as your study guide. Teachers usually emphasize many things they have discussed in class, and these things usually appear in tests.  Pay attention to large topics covered in class. If your teacher has provided a study guide, you will need to review notes about each of the topics on the guide. Think about what kinds of questions where on previous exams. What kinds of problems, essays, or vocabulary questions were asked? These will help you recall important concepts and keywords.  Start with material you want to learn best. Begin with larger general ideas and boil them down into more detailed aspects. While reviewing, make note of any discrepancies in your notes or any questions you have. Address these with your teacher before your exam. These can help show the direction of a collection of steps or related concepts.  Sometimes it helps to organize your ideas visually. For questions where you have to outline a process, a flow chart is a good tool to use. If you think you might be asked compare/contrast questions, a Venn diagram can help you outline the similarities and differences between two concepts.

This is a middle ground approach, moderately effective and relatively easy to install. You can expect it to add roughly 6 to 9 "STC points," reducing loud conversations to indistinct speech or murmurs. If you're trying to block music and other loud noises, decouple the ceiling instead. Use the decoupling method for concrete ceilings as well. Drill a quarter-sized hole in the ceiling and look for insulation. If none is present, blow in cellulose or medium density fiberglass insulation. There is no need to repair the holes afterward, since you will be installing new drywall underneath.  Do not install new insulation if there's any old insulation, even if it's worn out. The old insulation will prevent you from blowing in new insulation evenly. Avoid foam insulation and expensive "extra dense" products. These can make low density vibrations worse. "Green Glue" or another damping compound will reduce vibration between the two layers of material. Apply it to the back of a new sheet of drywall, according to label instructions.  ⅝" (15.9mm) drywall is recommended, since extra mass blocks more sound. However, if the existing drywall is ⅝" thick, choose ½" (12.7mm) sheets for the new layer. Different thicknesses resonate at different frequencies, so two different types will block more sound.  You can buy pre-dampened drywall, but this is expensive and no different from what you could make yourself. . Screw the drywall to the underside of your ceiling. Try to keep the gap around the perimeter as small as possible. Even a narrow gap around the perimeter or ceiling fixture can let a lot of noise through. Before choosing an acoustical caulk, read the label carefully:  Confirm the caulk is suitable for use on your materials. Check whether you can paint over the caulk. If not, make sure the color matches your ceiling. Consider a fire-resistant caulk to prevent spread of fire between floors. This may be required by your local building code. The damping compound is a major part of this installation. It may take ten days or...

This is a more intimate form of communication than the previous method.  After introducing yourself you will want to try some of the memory techniques from the earlier steps if it's someone you know a little. If you are calling someone you don't know very well then you might try some catching up. Ask, "It's been a while, do you remember meeting me at graduation?" or you can substitute some other relevant event. If you are dealing with someone you don't know at all then think more about why you’re calling them and what you know about their identity. If you know something about their activities or work then those can be clues as to how to start a phone call conversation. For example, you could call someone you don't know that you found out played high school football in games you had watched. You can start the call by introducing yourself and saying: "I remember you from the high school playoff game...." then go on with your conversation. If there is no connection you can establish then the burden is on you, as the caller, to introduce yourself and your intentions. State your name and what you are calling about quickly to reduce any sense of anxiety the other caller may have. Perhaps say, "I'm John Doe and I need to ask you a favor regarding the noise level in your house...." or whatever the reason may be. This will help ease communication and reduce any antagonism whether the recipient of your call is someone you know a little or not at all.  For someone you don't know very well you should steer the conversation to common interests in popular culture, literature, food, and so forth. This will extend the conversation and make it more positive. For example, you could ask: "Do you like sushi?" or other cuisine. If they agree, this can even be the means to an in-person meeting. For someone you don't know at all, you can attempt this common interest approach as well. Perhaps after you've made your intentions clear you can then make the conversation friendlier by asking "So, do you enjoy science fiction movies?"...

Call the person at their residence. Talk about common interests. Use phone etiquette. Invoke imagery to liven up the call. Ask for further contact.


This is a more powerful form of expungement. It not only erases or seals a record but establishes that the record should never have existed in the first place.   Generally you can file a petition for this certificate if you believe you are innocent of a crime for which you were convicted, and you’ve discovered new and exonerating evidence that wasn’t available at the time of your conviction.   Certificates of Actual Innocence serve to overturn wrongful convictions. For example, an accused person might be pressured to give a false confession after being unlawfully interrogated.   Constitutional claims leading to Certificates of Actual Innocence often are brought by nonprofit legal-aid societies such as the Innocence Project or by clinics at law schools. Forms and instructions should be available at your state appeals court. Legal aid societies also may have forms and information. Which form you need will  depend on whether you’re trying to prove your innocence using biological materials (such as DNA) or by other means.  Unlike petitions for expungement or sealing of records, there is no waiting period to file an actual-innocence petition.   If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for the free assistance of one appointed by the court. Do not pursue a Certificate of Actual Innocence without legal representation. You’ll pay a fee ($50 to $100) for the filing., Along with the petition, you must file copies of any court or police records regarding the conviction at issue.  Required documents may include complete transcripts of the proceedings at trial or appeal and complete court records. You’ll pay fees for these documents, which can be expensive, depending on the length and involvement of the trial. You cannot serve this document yourself. The sheriff’s office or a private process-serving company of your choice will serve the document and file proof of service. Unlike expungement or record-sealing hearings, getting a Certificate of Actual Innocence requires a formal trial at the appeals-court level,...

Learn if you are eligible for a Certificate of Actual Innocence. Complete a petition. File the required documents with your petition. Have the petition served on the state attorney general. Attend your trial.


This is a not-so-subtle way of letting your guest(s) know the limits. Consider doing so before the guest overstays their welcome, so they know their boundaries in advance. If they persist, offer a sly "you're being a little like [bad guest] right now" to really drive the point home. If able, have a friendly guest scoot the impolite guest towards the door. Invite a good friend over the day the house guest is meant to leave, and have them leave simultaneously. Have her repeat your hints about the time, or about how "we really should get going," etc. It always helps to have an example of a good guest to show the bad guest just what they're doing.  If you're especially worried about an overstay-er for a party, get a friend to give them a ride. This way, when the friend knows its time to leave, the overstay-er has no choice but to leave with them. Know that the friend has to leave as well. Don't recruit someone else to show a bad guest the door (unless they're just that bad) and try to keep them around—booting the overstay-er will usually be an all-or-nothing affair. For overnight guests who test your hospitality, suggest they visit a hotel instead. If it's a guest to a party, and is someone who just insists the party never stop, offer an alternative venue where the party doesn't have to stop. Suggest a bar or a dessert place to end their night. Be careful not to become responsible. Play the host who, unfortunately, cannot host any longer, but don't apologize for setting limits. Don't pay the cab fare (unless you're desperate), don't buy the hotel room, just be direct and get them elsewhere. The final act of a kind host is to see that their guest makes it comfortably out the door. To assure your guest that time has come, gather their things and put them by the door. Ask them questions about their leaving on the day of, or things such as "Are you sure you left nothing behind?" These are just more unambiguous signs that their stay is over. For party guests, offer them a last drink or piece of dessert. If the latter,...

This is a popular recommendation from midwives, though firm research on its effectiveness is lacking.  The theory is that the woman's orgasm can trigger labor, as well as prostaglandins in semen coming into contact with the vagina  (so plan your activities accordingly!). There's one caveat: Don't resort to this remedy if your water has already broken.  Once the amniotic sac has ruptured, you run the risk of infection.  Otherwise, you can try this method to your heart's content. Nipple stimulation can release the oxytocin, which is part of the hormonal cocktail that starts contractions.  Do massages for 5 minute periods throughout the day.  Breast stimulation won't start labor.  But if the cervix is already ripened, it can speed it up. Don't go overboard on this one — overstimulation can result in contractions that are too strong. The gravity of your upright position and the side-to-side sway of your hips when you walk helps your baby get into the birthing position. Walking can also assist in speeding up labour if you're already having contractions. Avoid exhausting yourself.  Remember, labor is a physically demanding process.  Save up your energy so that you're not worn out before the real work begins. There are a lot of urban myths surrounding what will and won't induce labor.  Here's a quick rundown of what you shouldn't try:  Castor oil, which will irritate the gastrointestinal tract.  You won't go into labor, but you might feel sick to your stomach. Spicy food.  No scientific evidence supports a connection between eating spicy foods and starting contractions. Certain herbs, like cohosh or evening primrose oil.  These haven't been studied enough to safe, and herbs with compounds that imitate hormones may actually be harmful.  Talk to your doctor before you attempt using any herbal supplements.

This is a popular technique among rose gardeners, known as “hardening off.” Reduce the water by half and stop fertilizing altogether to help prepare your roses for the cold weather. The reduction will help thicken their plant cell walls, giving them a purplish cast. You can look up your first and last frost dates by entering your zipcode at https://davesgarden.com/guides/freeze-frost-dates/#b. Don’t deadhead or clip any blooms, starting around August, in order to let the plant naturally harden off. Your roses should start developing tough growth-like hips and seed pods, which will help the plant last the winter. In the Southern Hemisphere, early fall occurs in March. Wait until most or all of the leaves fall and the canes turn a bit off-color. Once the temperature has consistently stayed around 20 °F (−7 °C) for 3-4 days, you can prune and start preparing to winterize your roses. With your clean, sharp pruning shears, make a cut at a 45° angle. If you can, try to make your cut about 0.25 in (0.64 cm) above an outward-facing bud. Pruning back the canes will prevent them from rocking and breaking in the wind.  You should also remove any dead or damaged stems or branches at this point, but be sure not to clip back any other healthy growth. You can cut the rose bushes down as much as 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) above the ground. While optional, trimming them this short may keep your roses looking neat.

Reduce water and fertilizer 6 weeks before the first frost. Stop cutting roses in early fall to let hips and seed pods develop. Wait until the roses are dormant before you start pruning. Prune back any long canes to about 5 ft (1.5 m).


This is a pretty crucial step, and there are several very specific supplies you will need to locate the stronghold, and to access the end game. For this tutorial you will need to have at least basic knowledge of the ins and outs of Minecraft. You will need to find at least 5 diamonds, 64 iron, and several stacks of coal. You will need seven diamonds if you want a sword, pickaxe and an enchantment table, and even more if you want armor. This step could take a very long time. You will need at least 1 diamond sword, 1 diamond pick, 1 full set of iron armor, a bow, arrows, and several stacks of torches. You will need it for the Nether portal.   Only diamond picks can mine obsidian. You can also use obsidian in the crafting of an enchantment table, which can help a lot when fighting the dragon or simply playing the game in general. Enderpearls can be gathered by killing endermen. Enderpearls have several uses so gather at least 20 of them. Some of their uses are:  Teleportation. Right-click with an ender pearl selected to throw the ender pearl, and be teleported to its landing site. This can be quite useful in areas such as ravines, large caves, and the Nether. Eye of Ender ingredient. You use ender pearls to craft ender eyes. These are crucial in helping you locate and unlock the endgame. You can craft an Eye of Ender by combining blaze powder and an ender pearl in the crafting grid.  This is a shapeless recipe, and the ingredients can be placed anywhere in the crafting grid. Blaze powder is crafted by dropping a blaze rod anywhere in the crafting grid.

This is a proven way to reduce crime in an area. Dim lights make it easy for crime and criminals to operate unnoticed. By placing more lights and brighter lights in poorly lit area, you can help to reduce crime.  Programs in England that improved street lighting conditions were found to “irrefutably” reduce crime in those areas.  A similar study of parks in Los Angeles found that keeping parks lit at night also reduces crime in the areas illuminated. By placing CCTV cameras outside to monitor criminal activity, you can help apprehend criminals in the event that you capture a crime on video.  In Chicago, research shows that for every $1 spent on cameras, more than $4 was saved in court costs, incarceration, and pain and suffering associated with prevented crimes.  Cameras work best to deter criminals when there are a sufficient number of them which are visible. High traffic areas that are not pedestrian-friendly can be havens for crime. Drive-by shootings rely on open, fast-moving streets. Areas without sidewalks, which favor cars over pedestrians, make it easier for criminals to operate.  Operation Cul-de-Sac in Los Angeles was proven to effectively reduce homicides connected to drive-by shootings. They set up traffic barriers to cut off car access for certain streets.  Bridgeport, CT found success with their “Phoenix Project”. Planners implemented a complex street modification program. By changing and controlling the flow of traffic in their city, they had a 75% reduction in crime.

This is a quick and easy solution if you don’t have a zipper repair kit with you on your trip. Simply slide the pointed end of the zip tie through the eye of the zipper, place the fastener over the cord, and pull to tighten until you have a 1 inch (2.5 cm) loop. Start by unzipping the opening to place the slider at the very end of the zipper. Place your pliers around the left side of the zipper so that the nose is parallel to the track of the zipper, and squeeze to apply pressure to flatten the slider on that side. Then, do the same on the right side.  Make sure the zipper is open, not secured. You’ll need to be able to access the slider from both sides. Don’t squeeze too hard or you can jam or break the slider. A lagging zipper is a minor problem, but can be extremely annoying if you’re moving in and out of the tent. Running the tip of the pencil along the track will deposit graphite to make the slider run more quickly along the teeth. Most of the time, there’s no way to fix a zipper with damaged teeth, unless you’re a professional tailor with teeth replacements. Take the zipper to a tailor to see if they have the tools to fix or replace it for you.Fixing or repairing the zipper is normally less expensive than replacing the tent. Ask the tailor how much it will be and compare the cost to that of a new tent.

Slide a zip tie through the opening to act as a DIY pull. Use a pair of adjustable pliers to bend the slider into place if the track is separating. Run a pencil along the outside of the teeth to make your zipper run smoothly. Have the zipper professionally repaired if the track has missing or broken teeth.


This is a really sweet and romantic gesture that will let them know you are leaning in for a kiss. You don’t have to do this step, but it might give you that little extra courage to go in for the kiss. Put your hand on their jaw or push their hair behind their ear. You can even softly angle their face towards yours. ” No, they don’t have to actually say, “Yes, I would like to kiss you, please proceed.” Instead, check out your partner’s body language to determine if they’re comfortable with kissing. If they lean in with you, they want to kiss just as badly as you do. When you touch them and get closer, make sure they seem genuinely interested and happy about these advances. Look to see if they’re glancing at your lips. Finally, see if they’re licking their own lips, as if to prep them for a smooch. Use your common sense to make sure that you have permission to go ahead! In other words, lean down if your partner is shorter than you, or lift your head upwards if they're taller. If they're much taller, you may even need to get on your tip toes! It can be intimidating to kiss someone who is much shorter or taller than yourself, but it's very manageable. The important thing is to "meet halfway," so make sure you angle yourself so that you're closer to their height. If you're still nervous about a big height difference, Google "Shaquille O'Neal and Nicole Alexander kiss." If the 7'1" basketball star and his 5'2" girlfriend can kiss, you won't have a problem. One of the biggest concerns when it comes to leaning in for a kiss is bumping noses. To avoid this, you need to make sure your face and your partner's face are cocked in opposite directions. You don't need to bend your neck at a ninety degree angle– keep it natural. If their head is already leaning to one side, casually tilt your head to the opposite side. If they are looking straight at you, with no tilt, choose a side, tilt your head, and they will take their cue from you. Despite calling tightly pursed lips the "kissy face" in photos, this is not how you...

This is a relaxation technique that teenagers in high school math or history classes may have expertise at, but many adults have forgotten how to do. They're too tense, busy, and hurried to take time to clear their minds of life's overflowing clutter. Take a cue from your younger self and daydream away. Worrying does not count as daydreaming. If you find yourself sitting back and planning out how your life should be going, you're not doing it right. Some people just aren't daydreamers -- if you're one of them, don't force it. There's about a bajillion more tips you can try down this page. Have a picnic. Play Frisbee.  Try flying a kite. Sometimes the simplest things are the most rewarding -- and the most surprisingly fun. Even a walk is healthy and entertaining! If you don't have a ton of time to kill, just take a walk around your neighborhood. Make an effort to be observant -- how many things can you spot that you never noticed before? Think about all your senses -- what can you hear, see, smell, touch, and taste? You might discover something interesting. You can make a neighborhood hunt and see what things your neighborhood has that you perhaps didn't know about. The next time you're in a group full of people who is killing time, take note of how many don't have their phones whipped out. You definitely won't need a calculator. Even the ones who know each other will have their phones in hand and head down, playing Candy Crush, Words with Friends, or just pretending to be texting someone they like better. We've become a society that doesn't engage. Resist. You can do it! Consider caving and take pictures of people staring at their phones. It's hard being the only one with your hands not clutching some lit-up piece of plastic, isn't it? That way you're still making a statement...sort of. Anyone.

This is a safe method, as peroxide and water are both natural ingredients. Use a ratio of 1:1 to mix the same amount of solution into a dish. Swirl a spoon around to ensure the liquid is mixed correctly. Once you mix the hydrogen peroxide and water, dip a cotton ball or pad into the dish, and let the liquid completely soak the cotton. You can move it around in the dish until it is completely saturated.  This should take about 15-30 seconds. If your cotton ball or pad is dripping excessively, squeeze it out slightly over top of the dish. You can bleach your abdominal hair and forearm area, for example. Use multiple cotton balls or pads if you want to cover multiple spots at the same time. To lighten the hair properly, it is best to sit in the sun since hydrogen peroxide is activated by sunlight. Set a timer after you put the cotton ball or pad in place, and check the lightness after about 20 minutes. Note that the hair may not appear much lighter after the first use. It will take several applications. Once you’re finished lightening your hair, take a clean washcloth and wipe off the bleached area. You can also hop in the shower quickly to rinse off if you prefer. Peroxide isn’t harmful for your skin, but it may dry it out over time. Throughout the bleaching process, your skin may get dry from the exposure to hydrogen peroxide. To keep your skin soft and healthy, it is best to rub a dime-size amount or so of lotion rich in vitamin E oil over your bleached area. Do this immediately after rinsing and drying the bleached area. You can also use lotion with a cocoa or shea butter base, as these are very moisturizing and made from natural ingredients.

Mix equal parts of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water in a bowl or cup. Saturate a cotton ball or pad in the liquid mixture. Put the cotton ball or pad on the spot you want to bleach. Sit in the sunshine for 20-30 minutes for the peroxide to process. Wash off the hydrogen peroxide thoroughly. Apply a nourishing lotion to rehydrate your skin.


This is a short term, immediate solution. If the problem persists, think about how to avoid it in the long run.  Use earplugs  and headphones  to drown out the sounds. Soundproof your room. This is a long term solution, but it doesn't always have to be expensive. Move your furniture- it does make a difference whether your bed is right next to their bedroom wall, or across the room. If possible, put a bookshelf to the shared wall. Listen to your own music- whales songs are very effective, as the sonar sounds drown out a lot of moans and sighs. Alternatively, didgeridoo or vuvuzela sounds also drown out most other sounds. Buy a white noise machine, or use an app or YouTube video of white noise. These devices produce different kind of noises, and are designed to drown out other sounds to protect privacy- your parents' and yours. They may not even be aware that they can be heard. You giving them a subtle hint will make them aware and prevent further "noise disturbances."  Send them a text message. Be subtle in approach and vague. For example, just type the word "Noise." They will not read the message until later, but they might take more precaution the next time (because chances are, there will be a next time). Print out an advice column on "how to deal with overhearing your parents having sex" and slide it under their door. Again, they will find it later, but it will make them aware of the situation. Don't mention the incident afterwards. Pretend that nothing happened, and put it behind you. If they don't understand the polite hints you've been giving them, try a more straightforward approach.  Walk past their room shouting "you're not alone in this house"- the reversal of roles in the admonishment that most of us received as children puts a humorous spin on the situation and hopefully relaxes it. Play songs that tell them that you can hear them at full volume, such as "Let's talk about sex" by Salt N' Pepa, or the Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch."  Bang on the wall, preferably with a broom or a stick. This is...

This is a simple step to looking professional.  Clothes which are too big can be baggy and look sloppy.  Clothes which are too tight will be uncomfortable and could be considered risqué. You want your clothes to look and smell fresh.  Be sure that you keep them clean and tidy by washing them as often as possible.  If you don’t have a lot of time to wash your clothes, consider using a drop-off service or a dry cleaner. You will likely only have one apron assigned to you.  It is important to wash this along with your clothes, but you will also want to keep it clean between washes.  Resist the urge to wipe your hands on your apron.  Wash your hands or carry a towel to wipe them on if you need to. If your apron gets dirty between washed, dab the stains with a damp towel.  Try using soda water to scrub stains out. Tucking your shirt gives you a more professional look.  Beyond that, it is important to keep your shirt secured so that it doesn’t accidentally get on the table or in someone’s meal.
