A week before you’re ready to plant, spray the ground with herbicide to kill the roots of grass and weeds so your seedling or tree doesn’t have to compete for water. Once the roots die, physically remove them. Then use a spade to loosen the soil. You want your seedlings to have plenty of water, but you don’t want to drown them, either. To check drainage, dig a hole roughly a foot deep (30 cm). Fill it with water and then check it 12 hours later to make sure all the water has drained. If all the water drained, you’re good to go. If not, either install land drains, select another area to plant, or only plant a type of pine proven to fare well in very wet conditions. Dig a hole slightly larger than the seedling’s root structure or container, plus a little deeper (the bigger the root structure/container, the deeper the hole). You’re going to fill that extra space at the bottom with topsoil, so as you dig your hole, keep that soil accessible. Depending on how much you’re removing, divide the soil into different cups, buckets, or piles to keep track of it. Topsoil has the most nutrients, so make this the roots’ first contact with the native soil. Once you’ve dug your hole, fill the extra space at the bottom with topsoil until the hole’s depth equals the root structure or container. If you live in a very wet region, or if this particular spot receives excessive water for whatever reason, add a little more topsoil to raise the top of the root structure/container a little bit above ground. Before you stick them in the ground, double-check their health. Ensure a healthy growth by disposing of any seedlings or trees that already seem to be on their way out. Keep in mind that seedlings are very fragile, so be very gentle when handling them. Look for:  Mold and mildew Missing or easily removed bark Broken stems and roots Dried-out roots Ensure that they spread away from the base of the tree so they cover the most ground. This way the tree will have more access to nutrients and water in the soil. Depending on which method...

A well-drafted dissolution agreement can both dissolve the partnership and prevent future disagreements. A dissolution agreement can also maximize your legal defenses in case you are sued during the dissolution process. When drafting your dissolution agreement, identify the document as a “dissolution agreement.” Identify the partners and write the date on which the document will be signed. “Recitals” are those clauses that define the agreement and present important background information about the parties. In the recitals section, provide the following information:  A brief description of the purpose of the partnership; The total amount of capital contributions that each partner made to the partnership. This includes both initial capital contribution and later contributions made specifically to the capital of the partnership (in other words, do not include loans or extensions of credit in the 'capital contributions' amount). Provide a separate entry for each partner with this information. Mention the language of the partnership agreement that covers dissolutions. List the specific steps that your partnership agreement requires for dissolution to be completed. Summarize those steps and write them down. If your partnership agreement contains no information about dissolution, consult your state’s laws governing partnership dissolution. This information includes the name of the state in which the partnership was established, the name of the partnership, and the current principal address of the partnership. This information includes an explanation that each partner will assume assets and liabilities in proportion to their interests in the partnership. You can change the percentage of interests of each partner if you want to in the dissolution agreement. The “liquidating partner” is the partner (or partners if more than one) responsible for the administrative tasks of dissolution. Describe what those tasks are and what specific task each of the liquidating partners will be responsible for. E.g. which partner will...

A wet saw is a motorized saw with a diamond blade that is used to cut tile, glass, porcelain, and other delicate products. During operation, water is sprayed out of the front of the saw to ensure that the blade stays cool and lubricated. Wet saws cut through thick glass very easily. They are a great choice if you plan to cut glass frequently or if you want to avoid the scoring and breaking process. You must wear safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves when operating a wet saw. Do not allow anyone in the work area unless they are wearing safety goggles and protective clothing. Using a power saw to cut into thick glass is very dangerous without the aid of water, because the glass can get extremely hot and eventually explode. Fill up the saw’s tray completely with water and inspect the saw to make sure nothing is blocking the water flow from the reservoir. Adequate water flow must be maintained during the operation of a wet saw. Precise measurements and accurate cut lines are important no matter which cutting technique you employ. After measuring and drawing your cut lines on the surface of the glass with a straight edge and a sharpie, carefully line up the saw’s blade with your first cut line. Make sure that your hands and clothing are well out of the way of the blade before you turn it on. Using light pressure, gently push the glass towards the wet saw. Do not push the blade into the glass, as this will result in a messy cut. Push the glass slowly, lightly and steadily against the blade. Continue until the blade has cut the glass along the entirety of the cut line you drew on the glass.  Move onto the next cut line and continue. Turn off the wet saw when you’ve finished with the job and empty the water from the saw’s tray.

Rent or buy a wet saw at a hardware store. Fill the saw’s tray with water. Line the wet saw up with your first cut line. Turn on the wet saw and cut the glass.


A wet saw is the best option for cutting stone slabs, and the diamond blade ensures a smooth, clean cut. If you only need to cut marble for a few jobs, renting may be more cost-effective than buying a saw. If you are planning multiple home improvement jobs, buying your own saw may be more economical and convenient.  Make sure you get the right kind of wet saw. If you're cutting pieces of marble that are more than 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter, a tabletop wet saw (the kind most commonly available for rent) will not be effective. Ask an employee at the store to recommend the best saw for the job you want to do. If you're cutting a thin slab (like the kind you'd use for a shower wall or counter top), you can use a circular saw with a diamond blade. A new wet saw usually costs about $100-300 (£77.25-231.76). Renting wet saws cost about $35 (£27.04) a day or $100 (£77.25) a week. The blade of the saw has diamond crystals, which help cut dense and strong items. If you do not know how to safely use the saw, you may injure yourself when cutting the marble. Review the set-up instructions and safety warnings on your particular model, as they are all slightly different. This way, you know the ins and outs of your model and can easily and safely cut the marble slab. When using a wet saw, the blade must remain consistently wet in order to keep it cool. If the blade gets too hot, it can cut the marble incorrectly or inconsistently. You may have to fill up the separate water tank or connect the saw to a hose, depending on your particular model. Read over your instructions to find exact instructions on how to connect the water supply to your saw. Purchase a large piece of foam from a craft supply store. Use this to keep your marble flat and protected as you cut it. When you move the marble across the platform of the saw, the foam gets scratched up, rather than your marble.  You can make the cutting job easier by attaching the foam to a piece of 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) plywood. Use clear silicone to attach the foam to the wood, and...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Rent or purchase a wet saw with a diamond blade. Read the instruction manual before you operate the saw. Connect the saw to a water supply. Put the marble on a piece of thick, sturdy foam to prevent scratches. Make a mark on the marble to act as a guideline. Pour water on the front portion of the blade to lubricate it.


A wheel cover will save your wheel from the wear and tear from constant use. More than that, some covers offer a better grip than the factory wheel, and more comfort if you choose one with memory foam. This small addition will make a big statement, especially if you choose one that's fuzzy or blingy.  Expect to pay between $5.00 and $25.00 for the cover, depending on the style and quality you choose. The cover should fit snugly against your wheel. Most steering wheels range from 14.5–17.5 inches (37–44 cm) in diameter, so get a cover that matches the size of your wheel. You can purchase universal seat covers, but be aware that the look and fit may vary, or you can buy custom-made covers which will fit perfectly. You'll need to know the make, model, style, and year of your vehicle to be sure you get covers that fit properly.  Fabric seat covers will be your most affordable option. You'll also have a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures to choose from. If you have a favorite sports team, you can easily find covers that feature their logo. To clean the covers, you'll just remove them and throw them in the wash. Leather seat covers will cost you more, but they have a high-end look which is an especially good choice for luxury vehicles. You will be limited in your color options, usually they only come in tan or black, but cleaning is a breeze—simply wipe down dirt and spills. The mats can be purchased as a set, to include both the front and rear mats, and come in a variety of colors and styles. You can purchase custom-fit mats, which will cost a little more, or cheaper universal mats that you can trim down to size.  Rubber mats are very durable and easy to clean, but are more expensive than fabric mats. Fabric mats have the benefit of blending in with the car flooring, making for a more seamless look.

A wide variety of topical over-the-counter creams are available to help treat shoulder blade pain. These creams can be used before, during, or after a massage to help relieve pain.  Depending on the cream or rub, you may be able to rub it in throughout a massage. Many popular creams and rubs include menthol, camphor, or other ingredients. Make sure to follow directions printed on any product you use. Essential oils can also be used in combination with a massage to offer relief to shoulder blade pain. To use essential oils, make sure to:  Apply 2 to 3 drops of oil to the shoulder blade area. Massage after application. Use an appropriate essential oil like wintergreen, frankincense, or chamomile. Mix your essential oils with a carrier oil. Carrier oils are oils (like vegetable oil) that dilute essential oil and enable it to better spread out on your skin. Follow the directions on your carrier oil and essential oil bottles when mixing them. Medicated lotions and other similar products are a great option for relieving shoulder blade pain. You or someone else can massage or rub these lotions into your shoulder blades and the surrounding area for pain relief. Try lotions containing:  Lidocaine. Aspirin. Benzocaine. Other over-the-counter or prescription medicated lotions.

A window-mounted cooler fits in a window, much like an AC window unit. You can also install swamp coolers that cool the whole house on the roof or outside on the ground.  The advantage of a window unit is it is easy to install. However, it will only cool a room or two. A roof-mounted unit is more efficient, but it's also more difficult to install. The advantage of a ground-mounted version is you don't have to worry about your swamp cooler leaking through the roof. Also, this version is easier to perform maintenance on. With any cooling unit, you must get enough blowing power to cool your whole house. In swamp coolers, that power is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). You need to figure out the CFM required to get approximately 30 changes per hour. An air change is when all the air in your house has been circulated out once.  First, figure out the volume of your house. To figure out the volume, multiply your square footage by your inside ceiling height. Next, figure out the cubic feet per minute. Divide your volume by 2 to reach your CFM, which should be enough power to get 30 changes per hour. If you're replacing an existing air conditioner with a swamp cooler, you should choose a bit lower CFM. The existing duct work won't be quite large enough for a swamp color, so you choose a less powerful option. In this case, pick 1,000 CFM for each air conditioning ton. An air conditioning ton is a unit of measurement. It refers to how many BTUs of heat the air conditioner can remove in an hour. If you are worried about allergies, you can pick a unit with an air filter to help reduce incoming dust. Swamp coolers pull in outside air, so you may get allergens from the outside.

Pick between window-mounted, roof-mounted, and ground-mounted. Buy a unit that can create 20 to 40 air changes per hour. Choose 1,000 CFM per air conditioning ton. Add a filter to reduce dust.


A wine bottle holds about 3 cups (710 mL) of liquid, so use this much water for each bottle you want to remove the label from. Pour the water into a kettle and bring it to a rolling boil. If you boil water in a saucepan, it will be much harder to pour it into the bottle later. Stand up your wine bottle in the sink. Wear an oven glove on one hand and use this to hold the wine bottle steady. If your kettle has a narrow spout, you can slowly pour the boiling water directly into the bottle. If not, consider using a funnel to get the water down the bottleneck more easily. Be careful not to splash yourself or the label while you pour the water into the bottle. If your bottle is standing upright in your sink, simply leave it there for a few minutes. Allow about 5 to 10 minutes for the boiling water to melt the glue on the back of the label from the inside out. Slip on a pair of oven gloves. After leaving the water in the bottle for a few minutes, grab ahold of the wine bottle and carefully tip out the hot water into the sink. Use caution as the glass will be hot. If necessary, use a towel to soak up any drips from the glass or the label. Once the water has been emptied out, use one hand to hold the bottle still. With the other hand, carefully slide the edge of a utility knife or razor blade underneath one corner of the wine label. Once it comes up, delicately lift off the rest of the label.  The great part about this technique is that you won’t need to get the label wet. This is a great way to remove special labels that you’re worried about damaging. Be careful as you do this since the glass may still be hot.

Boil 3 cups (710 mL) of water in a kettle. Pour the boiling water directly into the empty wine bottle. Wait for about 5 to 10 minutes while the water melts the adhesive. Tip the hot water out of the wine bottle. Peel the label off of the bottle using the edge of a utility knife.


A wire cage is a popular cage type for hamsters but usually is not big enough, so when looking for wire cages often rat cages with 1/2 inch spacing can work aswell as large hamster cages. A wire cage usually has a detachable base made of solid plastic. The horizontal bars are ideal for hanging toys and chews.  Big wire cages are more suitable for Syrian hamsters, since they are relatively large and would not be able to squeeze between the wires.  Be aware that your hamster could gnaw on the wires,- if not given chews and toys-, which could lead to various dental problems that may need veterinary care. Plastic hamster cages are multi-level, with tunnels and other areas that your hamster can run through and play in. In addition to being visually appealing (plastic cages are very colorful), plastic cages can be good for a dwarf hamster, since his small size would allow him to easily run through the twists and turns of the tunnels.  It can be fun to watch your hamster run through the cage. A plastic cage is not ideal if you have a large hamster, since he could get stuck in the tunnels.  If you have a dwarf hamster, he could easily hide in the small nooks and crannies of the cage, making him hard to find. Most plastic cages are too small alone and can only be used as attachment cages to a cage of the minimum size.  Plastic hamster cages should not have any edges that your hamster could gnaw on. Aquariums are not specifically made for hamsters, but could be an ideal housing option for your hamster. They are typically made of either solid glass or plexi-glass, which makes them very sturdy and easy to see through. To keep your hamster from escaping, the aquarium should be covered with a well-fitted mesh top. You may need to purchase this separately at your local pet store.  The minimum size aquarium that you should have for your hamster is 30-40 gallons depending on the specific aquarium. Just be sure to have the floorspace be of the minimum size or bigger.   An aquarium would be ideal if you have a dwarf or Chinese...

A witness is only competent to testify about an event if he has personal knowledge of it. Object to any witness who begins testifying about an event without first establishing that he observed it. As the witness is testifying, you or your lawyer stands up and says, “Objection, your honor” and then states your grounds. Here, the grounds are “Lack of personal knowledge.” A lay witness may only testify to what he or she observed. They are not allowed to provide expert testimony but can only offer opinion that is rationally based on their perception.  Acceptable lay opinion includes opinion about size, sound, weight, distance, or manner of conduct. For example, “I thought she was tall” is acceptable lay opinion testimony. The lay witness, however, cannot purport to give scientific opinion. “I thought she was criminally insane” is unacceptable lay opinion testimony. You should move to strike testimony of that nature. Hearsay is a term for testimony in court from a witness who does not have personal knowledge of the events that they are testifying to; instead, they were told the information by someone else (the “declarant”). Because a witness must have personal knowledge of an event he testifies to, you can often get hearsay evidence thrown out. A classic example of hearsay would be if someone testified that they heard something somebody had done, but didn’t see it.  There are several exceptions to the hearsay rule. Among the more common are an excited utterance, a statement made for purposes of obtaining medical treatment, a dying declaration, and statements against interest. These hearsay statements are allowed because they have circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness.  If the declarant is unavailable, then his out-of-court statements may be admitted through hearsay. If the statement was given during another trial or proceeding under oath, and if the statement was subject to cross examination at that time, then it may be admitted into evidence.  Additionally, any statement made by a party is admissible...

A woman with postpartum psychosis may insist that she needs to be at home, caring for her baby, but this condition requires that you follow medical advice. Doing otherwise poses a threat to both mother and baby. Many women with postpartum psychosis need to be hospitalized so that medical staff can monitor them until they stabilize. Entering a hospital – especially a psychiatric hospital, as frequently necessary – can be upsetting, especially for new mothers, who may insist that they need to be at home. But this step is often necessary for effective treatment. If your wife, partner, or loved one must be hospitalized with postpartum psychosis, try to assure her that hospitalization is temporary and that full-time, effective treatment will help her get home to her baby as quickly as possible. Do everything in your power to convince her that she is doing the right thing for herself and for her newborn. Women with postpartum psychosis are typically prescribed some combination of antipsychotic drugs and mood stabilizers. When taken as directed, these drugs are generally quite effective. These drugs may or may not be safe to take when breastfeeding, so talk to your doctor and weigh the risks and benefits of particular medications. Remember that treating the postpartum psychosis should be the primary concern, followed by continuation of breastfeeding. Some women benefit from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This is a modern form of shock therapy that is sometimes effective in treating psychotic episodes. Postpartum psychosis is a medical condition, and it demands medical treatment. In addition, though, talk therapy may be beneficial, especially the disorder begins to recede. A counselor can help you (or your wife, partner, or loved one) deal with the symptoms of postpartum psychosis and the trauma that the condition can inflict. Moving forward, a counselor can also help you deal with any feelings of doubt or guilt about motherhood, which many women experience after postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis. Note...

A yoga routine designed specifically to help you sleep may help you relax and fall asleep.  The poses incorporated into the following routine have been shown to positively affect sleep cycles. Studies have also shown that yoga and Tai-Chi can increase blood circulation and lung capacity.  This light exercise will allow you to release muscle tension and stress before sleeping. Align your buttocks with your headboard and put your legs in the air, on the headboard or the wall. Breathe in and out in slow deep breaths.  If your hamstrings are tight, move your buttocks further away from the headboard. Some people are more limber, and if this pose doesn’t do it for you, scoot closer to the headboard. Try to relax as you stretch the backs of your legs. Do a gentle twist, with your right shoulder moving forward and to the left. Hold for one minute and then do the opposite side.  Do not do this stretch if you have any chronic back problems. Brace yourself by using your off-hand on the bed. It’s important to look the way you are stretching to keep proper alignment. Bend your knees and let them fall open, with the soles of your feet against each other.  If you don’t have the groin flexibility to pull this off, try putting something under each knee to minimize the angle.  Rest in this position for three to five minutes. In this pose, you kneel on the bed and allow your torso to flatten over your thighs and knees.  Your toes should be pointed backward.  Lay your arms flat over your head and breathe deeply. Rock gently back and forth for one minute while breathing deeply – inhale while sitting up, exhale while going back – as you rock. Picture each part of your body relaxing and becoming part of the bed, until you drift into sleep.

A “hard” problem is a fixed issue that causes unsolvable damage, and if you are facing a hard problem, you should leave the relationship as soon as possible. A “soft” problem is less defined and may or may not have a solution, so you should take your time to really evaluate your marriage before ending it over a soft problem.  Hard problems include the three A's: abuse, addiction, and adultery. Soft problems include things like growing apart or no longer feeling the sensation of being "in love." These problems usually mask unrecognized problems, like feeling isolated, ignored, or criticized. You need to pinpoint your underlying problems and address them before you can conclude that leaving your wife is the best way to remedy them. Leaving your wife will be a brutal process, even if you manage to separate on fairly amiable terms. If you catch yourself dreaming of an idealistic future and want to leave your wife simply to pursue it, stop right there and reconsider. For example, if you're thinking of leaving your wife for an old high school sweetheart or a new, exciting lover, there's a high probability that you are treating your new relationship with too much idealism and not looking at the benefits of your current marriage or considering the repercussions that may result from leaving under these conditions. If you have a soft problem, try working things out with your wife. Seek out a marriage counselor and see if there is anything you can do to make your marriage work again before you call it quits. Once you are certain that leaving your wife is the best possible option, start the process and don't look back. One of the most important things you need is certainty, so if your decision is sound right now, stick with it and try not to doubt yourself in the future.

Figure out if you have a hard or soft problem. Be honest and realistic. Get help, if help is an option. Make a break for it.


A “representation” is a statement of fact which the seller warrants is true at the time of contracting. If the fact turns out to be false, then the buyer can usually cancel the contract or sue. You should list the seller's representations. The following are typical representations:  there are no violations of zoning, fire, or building codes the building is not in a floodplain or a Special Flood Hazard Area there are no boundary line disputes there are no violations of setback lines, easements, or property boundary lines Generally, the seller will transfer a general warranty deed to the purchaser. With a warranty deed, the seller is basically promising that they are the rightful owner of the property and that they have the right to transfer title. They also warrant that no one has a better claim to title. If these promises are false, then the buyer can sue for compensation. Sample language could read: “Seller will convey to Purchaser good and marketable title by a valid general warranty deed.” The building might burn down between the date you sign a contract and the date you actually close. Who bears the risk? With a risk of loss provision, you can explain who bears the risk of an accident. A sample clause could read: “Seller is responsible for any loss or damage to the property before closing.”

ALA comes from vegetable oils, seeds, nuts and legumes. ALA is converted to EPA and DHA once ingested, but it is converted at a very low rate, ranging from 0.2% to 8% on average with a conversion rate up to 21% for women. However, ALA that is not converted to EPA and DHA is still used by the body and has positive benefits, such as the prevention of inflammation and reduced risk of heart disease. ALA can benefit everyone, not just vegetarians. EPA and DHA occur naturally in algae and it would be considered vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. Fish oil contains high amounts of EPA and DHA. It comes in oil or pill form. EPA works with DHA, but tends to help with inflammation in the body more than DHA or ALA. High DHA intake has been associated with a decrease in depression and improved bipolar disorder. The effects take a few weeks to be noticed. DHA therapy is gaining popularity as a natural treatment for depression. It has also been linked to improve memory and learning. Omega 3 fatty acids are vital to the development of your child’s brain.

APA does not require a full citation or reference list entry if you're citing an entire website. Simply mention the name of the website in your text, then provide the address for the site in a parenthetical at the end of your sentence, inside the closing punctuation.  For example, you might write: "Kids psych is an interactive website designed to teach children about psychology (http://www.kidspsych.org). Cite to the initial homepage of the site, not a secondary page. Typically this won't be a long address. However, if the URL is long and looks awkward in your paper, talk to your instructor or supervisor about creating a shortened version. To cite an individual webpage with no author, list the title of the webpage first. Type the title in title case, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns. Place a period at the end of the webpage title. Example: Canada: Education structure. The date of publication typically will be the date of the last update or the copyright date. If you can't find a date on the website to use, put the abbreviation "n.d." (for "no date") in the parentheses. Place a period after the closing parentheses. Example: Canada: Education structure. (2018). Type the word "In" followed by the title of the website. Type the website title in sentence case, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns. Place a period after the title of the website. Example: Canada: Education structure. (2018). In Global road warrior. Type the word "Retrieved" followed by the date of access in month-day-year format. A date of access isn't necessary unless you believe the content is likely to change over time. If you include the date of access, type a comma at the end of the date. Then type the word "from" followed by a copy of the full URL for the web page. Do not place a period at the end of the URL. Example: Canada: Education structure. (2018). In Global road warrior.

APA doesn't require a full citation in your reference list at the end of your paper. At the end of any sentence in which you've referenced the Bible, place a parenthetical citation with the book, chapter, and verse followed by the name of the version in regular font. Separate chapter and verse with a colon. Abbreviate the names of the books of the Bible following the abbreviations listed in the APA publication manual. For example: "In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly father" (Matt. 5:16 New Living Translation). As long as you're using the same version of the Bible, you don't have to continue to list the name of the version in your parenthetical citations. Simply list the book, chapter, and verse.  For example: "In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly father" (Matt. 5:16). If you switch to a different version, for example, if you were comparing translations, then you would list the different version in the parenthetical citation. Although the APA doesn't require a full citation in your reference list, your editor or instructor may want one. Ask what they prefer, or when in doubt include reference list entries, particularly if you are comparing several versions. Follow the format for citing a book. For example, your reference list entry might look like this: The New Oxford Annotated Bible. (2007). M. D. Coogan (Ed.). Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press.

While you're writing an essay, it's important to cite information so that you avoid plagiarism (a form of cheating).  Place a parenthetical citation at the end of every sentence (or group of sentences if you're using the same source for multiple consecutive sentences) containing information you didn't know before doing research. An in-text citation using APA will simply have the author last name (or title if no author) followed by the year it was published. No comma between name and year. For example: (Richards 2005) Richards is the author last name, and 2005 is the year. If you have an author name (or title if no author) but no page number, simply use author last name (or title). This is common when citing websites. APA document formatting is very important. APA papers are divided up into 4 sections: the title page, the abstract, the main body, and the references page. The citations of a research paper using APA appear in the References section, the last portion of an APA document. Write down copyright information as you go for every piece of research you glean from. Write it down for every source you look at with a note to jog your memory--you'll be surprised how many ideas you start to paraphrase, unable to remember where you got that idea. To form APA reference page citations, you will need such information as author name(s), date published, website URL, date you accessed the website, title of work, and so on. The list of references should be alphabetized and set to hanging indent, just like MLA style format.  For example, the format for an APA reference of a scholarly journal article is as follows: Author last name, First initial. (Year published). Article or chapter title. Journal or book title, Issue number, page number range.  The format for an APA book reference looks like: Last name, First name. (Year.) Title of Book: Capital letter also for subtitle....

Cite while you write. Gather information. Organize the list. Format the page.


ATM machines are magnets for pickpockets. Some thieves will work in pairs to distract you from one side while snatching your money while you aren’t looking. Other criminals will peek over your shoulder to see your PIN number and try to lift your wallet later. If you have to use an ATM, find one inside a reputable business that isn’t out in the open so that you can withdraw your cash in a safe location. ATMs that are tucked away inside of private nooks at restaurants and hotels are much more difficult to exploit. Some thieves will pretend to accidentally bump into you while you’re walking down the street or getting on the bus. When they bump into you, they’ll reach into an easily-accessed pocket to try and grab something valuable. After anyone bumps into you, subtly pat your pockets to make sure that your personal belongings haven’t been lifted.  Avoid brushing up against people in crowds or tight quarters. Thieves often rely on dense crowds to avoid being noticed. Keep a tight hold on your belongings and remain alert when you’re on the bus, getting on a train, or wandering through a crowded metropolitan area. Be wary of interviewers, fundraisers, or chatty strangers. Pickpockets will often work in teams and try to distract you while someone robs you from behind. When receiving directions from a stranger, stay at least 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) away at all times. Don’t look over their shoulder to reference a map and don’t lean in close to listen. Clever pickpockets will try to hold a map or pamphlet up to show you something while reaching into your pocket or bag. Be cautious about accepting unsolicited help. Most people are just trying to help, but pickpockets often volunteer to help to lure you into feeling safe. If you’re traveling, do your best to blend in with your environment by dressing down. Avoid bright clothing that is going to make you stand out and stay away from tourist apparel to play down the fact that you’re visiting. Thieves are less likely to try robbing someone that lives where they do. This won’t...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Stay away from ATMs that aren’t inside private businesses. Pat your pocket to check your phone and wallet after getting bumped. Keep a healthy distance when someone offers to give you directions. Dress inconspicuously to blend in and look like a local. Keep your bags away from the street to stop mobile thieves. Be aware of your surroundings while watching street performers. Turn down strangers offering to help you with your luggage.


ATMs at banks usually have better surveillance and so avoid tampering by criminals. It is easier for criminals to rig non-bank ATMs at locations like the grocery store, shopping mall, or convenience store. Criminals can insert a blocking device into the card slot which causes your card to jam. Once you re-enter your PIN, the criminals will have access to both your lodged ATM card, and you PIN. When you leave, the criminals will then remove the blocking device and make withdrawals from your account. Criminals will also pose as “good Samaritans” who suggest you re-enter your PIN, or will offer to hold down the cancel button while you enter your PIN. In reality, they’re attempting to memorize your PIN number. Card skimmers are devices that are added to the ATM to capture personal information including your account number, PIN, and account balance. They are usually mounted on the side of the machine or right on top of the card entry slot, and resemble normal card slots or scanners. Look for duplicate card scanners or suspicious labels that say “card cleaner” or “slide card here first.” Criminals place a thin sleeve or other device that will trap your cash when it is dispensed from the cash dispenser. Your transaction will appear to be normal, but you will not receive your cash. Once you walk away (either to alert the bank or out of frustration), the thieves will remove the device and steal your money. If you have a friend nearby, send them for assistance. Otherwise, leave the scene and immediately contact your financial institution. Avoid using your cell phone while at the ATM. This may put you in a more dangerous situation.

Choose bank ATMs over non-bank locations. Don’t re-enter your PIN if the ATM swallows your card. Look for card skimmers. Be aware of cash trapping scams.


Abdominal problems are often difficult to diagnose since the symptoms of any one problem are reminiscent of lots of different kinds of issues, including gastritis, pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, and a variety of other problems.  It's important to see your doctor and arrive at a proper diagnosis if you think you may have an ulcer, so you can receive the proper care. Ulcer symptoms include:  Persistent or recurring stomach or abdominal pain Discomfort or a bloating sensation in the abdomen Nausea and vomiting Loss of appetite Traces of blood in vomit Dark black or tarry-looking stool indicative of bleeding from the upper part of the small intestine Weight loss, pallor, lightheadedness, and weakness due to persistent blood loss If you're having stomach problems, it's not necessarily an ulcer. Based on the history of your symptoms, your diet, and a physical exam, your doctor will be able to rule out the possibility or might advise further investigations to confirm it.  The doctor may start you on medication to reduce the pain and acidity if the symptoms are mild. Inform the doctor if there is persistence of blood in your vomit, if the stools continue to appear black, or if your symptoms worsen. There may be an underlying serious condition that needs to be taken care of. In such a case you will be asked to undergo tests to determine the cause of the bleeding. Your general practitioner may recommend that you visit a GI (gastrointestinal) specialist, during which time you may go through tests which can be used to properly diagnose any kind of digestive ulcer.  Two non-invasive tests that can be used to rule out other causes include an ultrasound of your whole abdomen and an MRI. While these tests won't show an ulcer, they do help your doctor rule out other issues.  Non-invasive upper gastrointestinal (GI) x-rays can help your doctor see an ulcer. After drinking a chalky substance called barium, you will have x-rays taken to look for signs of ulcers in your stomach. Once the ulcer is detected, the doctor may advise...

Identify the symptoms of ulcers. Consult your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. Get a diagnosis. Tackle the root of the issue. Avoid taking NSAIDs and aspirin. Try over-the-counter antacids to help reduce your symptoms.


About 2 to 3 times should be enough. This is important as it will remove any excess starch and keep the rice from getting to sticky.  Use cool water to rinse the rice, not hot. You can rinse the rice in a strainer or pot. Most of the water should be gone by now, and there should be little holes in the rice created by escaping steam. If the rice doesn't look like this, keep cooking it for 1-minute increments until the steam holes appear.  Cooking times may vary from microwave to microwave, so the steam holes may not appear after 10 minutes. If you have a powerful microwave, you may even have to reduce the cooking time. Keep a close watch for the steam holes. Don't worry if the rice looks undercooked. This step merely jump-starts the cooking process.

Rinse 1 cup (225 g) of jasmine rice until the water runs clear. Cook the rice on high for about 10 minutes.


About 3 to 4 days after the eggs were laid they’ll hatch and wiggle, still attached to the slate. After an additional five days, the fry will detach from the slate and begin free-swimming. After you notice the fry free-swimming in a cloud, it’s time to begin feeding them up to six times a day. Feed them with newly hatched brine shrimp or micro-worms. After one or two days of feeding the fry, remove the parent Angelfish from the spawning aquarium, and reintroduce them to your 55 gallon tank with the rest of your Angelfish. Around two weeks of age, the fry will begin taking on the shape of an Angelfish. At this point they’ll begin needing more food and you can feed them as you feed your adult Angelfish. Feed them twice a day only what they can eat in three minutes.

Wait for the fry to hatch and free-swim. Feed the fry. Remove the parents after several days. Increase feeding after two weeks.


About a pea-sized amount will do for this one-time-use lip plumper. If you can't find any lip balm or petroleum jelly, you can also use one of the following:  Almond oil Cocoa butter Coconut oil Olive oil Shea butter This can be a blending palette, a dish, or even a jar lid. Make sure that it is clean! Cinnamon is naturally stimulating. It will help make your lips appear fuller by increasing blood flow to them. If you can't find any ground cinnamon, try ground ginger or cayenne pepper instead. Both have lip-plumping capabilities as well. You can do this using the back of a spoon or the flat side of a butter knife. If you have a small spatula, such as the kind used for cake decorating, you can use that instead. Keep blending and smooshing until the two are evenly combined. If you don't want to get your finger all sticky, you can apply the lip plumper using a lipstick brush or a q-tip. During this time, your lips will start to feel tingly. This is normal, and a sign that the lip plumper is working! If you'd like, you can follow up with your favorite lip gloss or tinted lip balm.

Measure out a small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly. Place the lip balm or petroleum jelly onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon onto it. Mush the ground cinnamon into the lip balm or petroleum jelly. Use your finger the rub the lip plumper onto your lips. Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Wipe the lip balm off with a tissue.


About a quarter-sized amount of dish soap will work. Turn on your faucet and wait for the water to warm up. Let it dry thoroughly before using again with oil paint. Lay it down so no water is trapped in the brush head causing loosening of bristles and/or chipped, warped handles. This is optional, but you can also clean with mineral spirits every few months, for a deeper clean.

Squeeze liquid dish soap into the palm of your hand. Reshape your brush.


About four tablespoons of baking soda for a quart of water should be more than enough if the only plastic you’re cleaning is the case. You can do this in a bowl or plastic tub in the sink. You can leave the case open inside the water or pour the baking soda water directly into the pouch. The baking soda will remove any smells, so you want to make sure the water gets inside of the case. Use warm water with enough detergent to make the water soapy. Run it under the water to make sure all the baking soda is gone, then drain the water you used. In a clean bowl, add a small amount of detergent to warm water. Dip this cleaning cloth into the water. Use the cloth to scrub out any leftover marks. Be sure to reach into the corners to make sure you’ve removed all of the dust and shavings that will make a bigger stain in the future. Some plastic scratches easily, so make sure your rag is soft. If you can’t reach a part of the case, use a soft brush such as a baby toothbrush. Put the case under a small stream of warm water. Turn the case over and open it up. Make sure all the soap is gone before you’re done. Use the dry end of a soft cloth. Get down into all the corners and the outside of the case. Some plastic can develop water spots or mold if left alone, so don’t air dry. If a bad smell hasn’t gone by this point, crumple up a newspaper, push it into the case, then leave it in an enclosed space such as in a kitchen container. The newspaper has the ability to absorb odors.

Dissolve baking soda in water. Submerge the case in the water. Rinse the case. Get a soft cloth. Rinse out the plastic. Dry the plastic quickly. Stuff the case with newspaper.


About half the states in the US provide the option of opening convenience accounts. The other person would have access to the account, but would only be authorized to use it on your behalf. In other words, the person could use it to pay your bills, but they couldn't withdraw cash to use for their own purposes.  This is not an option in every state. See if your state's laws permit convenience accounts. Contact your bank to find out whether a convenience account will meet your needs. Every bank gives you the option of adding a co-owner to the account to create a joint account. This person would have the exact same ability to make transactions as you do. Go online or talk to a bank representative in person to add another person to your account.  In order to add a co-owner, you'll need to fill out forms that are signed by both parties. Once the forms are completed and submitted, the other person will be granted full access to the account. Opening a convenience account or a joint account are both risky options. Adding a co-owner gives that person free reign to use your account in whatever way they please. Even if you just open a convenience account, you have to trust the person to use your money wisely. In either situation, be sure you have full trust in the person who has access to your account.  You may want to meet with a lawyer to discuss which option is best for your situation. The lawyer may advise you against getting a joint account, and instead recommend getting a durable FPOA. It's a good idea to think it through with an expert before making a decision. This is especially true if you're considering adding your children to your bank account so they can take care of your bills. Unanticipated problems could arise at a later time, so make sure your finances are well protected.

Consider opening a convenience account. Look into adding someone as a co-owner. Use caution when allowing someone else full access to your account.


About two to three tablespoons of peanut butter should be sufficient but gauge this by the consistency. A cup should do it here; you still want a liquid consistency, so again, gauge it as you add the ingredient. Go ahead and take all your seeds and anything else that's hard and suitable for bird feed that you wish to add. Grind them––a simple coffee grinder works fine. Chopping the stickier ones before adding the rest is always good, so they don't make a mess (and they'll grind with more ease).  Another thing you can do is continue stirring; lard and most fats get stiffer the more you stir them. The chili doesn't change the taste too much; it mostly keeps away the pesky squirrels. If you don't have squirrels, skip this step. You should have a light brown solution that is finally hard to stir.

Add the melted fat and peanut butter to the mixing bowl. Add some cornmeal. Chop and/or grind some ingredients. Add the fruits to the grinder. Add the ground fruits and seeds to the mixture. If you find that the mixture is still not dry enough, add more bird seed. Add some chili. Make sure that the mixture is now the right consistency.


Above all else, this should be the final goal of your study abroad experience. You have chosen to study in a foreign country because you are excited about its culture and customs, and because you want to broaden your perspective on the world. Therefore, you should seize every opportunity you have to try something new, have a new experience, and to step out of your comfort zone. Here's what you should do:  If you're in a country where a foreign language is spoken, immerse yourself in it. Try to speak the language as much as possible, to read the language, and to even catch TV shows on the local channels.  Enjoy the cuisine of a foreign land. Though you'll crave your old favorite foods and should indulge once in a while, try to eat as much local food as possible. Understand the local customs. If you're in a country where a siesta is customary, then take one. Enjoy the local music and dance culture. Go to a show or a concert. Watch local films. Go to the movies in your new city. You'll have fun even if you don't understand anything. Go to as many museums, exhibits, and other cultural venues as possible. Learn everything you can about the country and even take notes. It's okay to take a break once in a while. Order some pizza, watch your old Modern Family DVDs, and fall asleep listening to Katy Perry. You can't be a good cultural student all the time. A big part of having the perfect study abroad experience is who you hang out with. The company you keep can make or break your entire trip, so choose your friends carefully. If you have the right friends, you could end up learning a lot more about the culture. Here's what you can do:  Find a few trusted friends in your study abroad group. It's good to maintain relationships with people from your program so you can stay grounded, participate in fun activities, and not feel too lonely. Focus on finding friends who are natives to your new city. Though you may be shy about meeting new people or getting past a language barrier, people from foreign countries are often...

Abrasive cleaners can damage cubic zirconia. All you need is some mild dish detergent from your kitchen and a bit of warm water. The precise ratio of detergent and water for a routine cleaning does not have to be exact, but strive for about one part detergent to two parts water. You can dunk the jewelry briefly to get it wet. You can also simply apply your water/detergent mixture to your toothbrush. Gently scrub down your cubic zirconia with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and debris and achieve a healthy shine. If you don't have a spare toothbrush on hand, cubic zirconia can also be cleaned with a soft cosmetic brush. A brush used for eye shadow, for example, would work well. It's important not to leave any soap residue on cubic zirconia. After washing your cubic zirconia, rinse it under the faucet until the water runs clean. Letting cubic zirconia air dry can cause damage. Use a clean cloth to gently dab the zirconia dry. Keep dabbing until there is no moisture left on the jewelry.

Abrasive grit can damage the stone surface of travertine floors. Keeping mats or rugs near the entrances, especially to the outside, helps remove some of this grit from the bottom of shoes and feet. Non-slip undersides are recommended to prevent the rug from slipping on the travertine. For regular dusting, use a dry dust mop or duster to avoid scratch marks from broom bristles. If you use a vacuum cleaner, make sure the wheels or frame aren't worn down and scraping the floor. Mild household cleaning products can be used from time to time, but for regular washing, mopping with plain warm water is often enough and carries no risk of leaving marks on the travertine. Never use vinegar or other acidic cleaners, which can etch patterns even into sealed travertine.

Keep mats or rugs near entrances. Clean travertine with a dry dust mop or duster. Use water in regular washes.


Absinthe is made using many different methods and ingredients. There are several standards that help one to determine if a particular brand of absinthe is authentic and of high quality. It is also possible to make absinthe, although this is dangerous and not recommended.  Different brands of absinthe will contain anywhere from negligible amounts of thujone up to about 35 mg/kg thujone. See the Tips below for more about the role of thujone in absinthe. International standards require that alcoholic beverages that contain greater than 25 percent alcohol by volume contain no more than 10 mg/kg thujone, while bitter spirits may contain up to 35 mg/kg thujone. If an absinthe is labeled as a bitter, it will probably contain 10 to 35 mg/kg thujone. Thujone is illegal as a food additive in the United States, but authentic absinthe containing negligible amounts of thujone can be legally sold. Vintage bottles of pre-ban absinthe can be obtained, and it is reputed that some of the lesser quality versions contained inordinately high levels of thujone and harmful adulterants such as copper salts, aniline dye and antimony trichloride. These circumstances may have led to absinthe's poor reputation. It is desirable for absinthe to gradually demonstrate increasing turbidity (opaqueness) or turn partially translucent as ice water is gradually added to it. This is known as the louche effect. The louched color should demonstrate complexity as well as nuance, and the absinthe should not turn opaque rapidly. However, it must be noted that not all quality absinthe will turn opaque, as the louche effect is primarily produced by the herbs anise and fennel. Absinthe typically tastes like licorice due to the addition of such herbs. The louche effect is produced by the precipitation of the herbal essential oils. The finest absinthe is made with whole, natural herbs and does not contain any artificial ingredients such as artificial colors and flavors. The herbs are merely ground up so that they can be efficiently used during the...

Select a quality bottle of absinthe. Be aware that quality absinthe should show the louche effect. Select absinthe that is made from natural, whole herbal ingredients. Select absinthe that has a high alcohol content.


Abuse can take many forms and it is not always easy to spot an abusive person. Some subtle signs of emotional or psychological abuse include:  saying things to make you feel guilty humiliating you on purpose being extra critical of you ignoring you having affairs or flirting with the opposite sex in obvious ways talking to you in a sarcastic voice or making fun of you saying “I love you, but…” trying to control you using isolation, money, or threats constantly texting or calling you when you are not around If your spouse is also emotionally abusive and condescending to your children, you should take extra steps to protect them during this fragile stage of development. To do this, you can:   Be extra kind to your children to make up for the abuse that they suffer. Tell them how much you love them and treat them especially well. Explain to them that when people get angry, they say things that they don't really mean. Make it clear that what people say about them, even a parent, isn't necessarily true. What matters is how they feel about themselves. Alert social services to ask for help if the emotional abuse is severe or persistent. Tell your spouse that he is emotionally abusing the children and that it is not appropriate and that if he doesn't stop you will take steps to end the relationship and get custody of your children. Friends and family can offer excellent support and advice during a relationship crisis. Try talking to your friends and family about what has been going on. Ask for suggestions about what to do next or where to get help. You may even be able to stay with a friend or family member until you can figure things out and find a place of your own. This may be the best thing for you to do. If you have children, then getting them away from an abusive spouse will benefit them as well. Tell your spouse you want you both to go to couple's therapy. Couples therapy can be effective at helping you both to change your dysfunctional relationship dynamic. This can be an effective way for you to, in a safe...

Abuse comes in many forms, but it's important to understand the concepts underlying most types of abuse. Sibling rivalry is common, but if one sibling is always the aggressor and the other always the victim, it is an abusive situation.  Sibling abuse may be physical, emotional, or sexual, and is most often perpetrated by one sibling against the other. Abuse is often an act of power and control. If a sibling tries to make you feel powerless, neglected, or devalued, it is likely an abusive situation. When in doubt, try to seek help through professional opinion and evaluation of the situation. Emotional abuse can stand alone, or it may underpin physical or sexual abuse. Emotional abuse from a sibling is their attempt to control you through manipulation of your thoughts and emotions, making you feel constant fear, shame, or humiliation.  Emotional abuse often makes you feel as though you are walking on eggshells, like anything you do could send your sibling into a rampage or spiral of criticism.  Emotional abuse often leaves victims feeling unheard or unseen, unlovable, and like they don't matter. Emotional abuse may take many forms, but it can include your sibling constantly criticizing your looks, work, or academic performance. It may also include your sibling trying to convince you that you are not respected or wanted by the rest of your family. Physical abuse is using excessive force or doing anything with the intent of causing physical harm to someone else. Physical abuse is generally a controlling act carried out with physical force against another.  Common forms of physical abuse may include hitting, kicking, biting, throwing objects at another, or any other form of physical exertion from an antagonist meant to overpower a victim. Some signs of physical abuse may include bruising, broken bones, burns, bite marks, cuts, abrasions, scarring, and others. Sexual abuse is any unwanted touching, exposure, or forced intimate actions between siblings. It is often the least disclosed and treated form of sibling...

Accepting an annoying relative is not always easy, but there are things you can do to make it happen. Spend short amounts of time just with them alone. This might seem to be exactly the opposite thing you want to do, but your undivided attention, even in small amounts, can go a long way to diffusing annoying behavior. It might seem counter intuitive, but being loving can often stop the annoyances before they occur. And, it will certainly changes your perspective.  It’s not your purpose in life to change them, because you cannot succeed and you will waste your energy. Do incorporate love and acceptance into everything you say and do. Accept, rather than deny, that you have a hard time dealing with annoying people, and that some of these people are in your family.  When you get irritated and annoyed, don't blame them. You're the one who cannot deal with it, and acknowledging this the first step towards taking responsibility.  Focus on what you can do better to be the person you want to be, no matter who you are around, or what they do or say. You'll always come out ahead if you focus on yourself. Being compassionate towards yourself, and to those around you, can go a long way towards diffusing the annoyance.  Compassion is active, not passive, and is something you develop over time.  You will fail at being compassionate from time to time, but with annoying relatives, you will always get a new chance to practice compassion!

Accept that the person annoys you. Don't change them, love them. Accept yourself. Be compassionate.


Accepting it for what it is can help you decide if you want to keep on loving this person and waiting for him to love you, or if you want to move on. Being honest with yourself about the situation will help you be happy with whatever you decide.   For example, If your love interest is in a long-term relationship and has told you he doesn't love you, then don’t pretend he just needs to get to know you better. It will just hurt you in the long-run. If your crush doesn’t know that you love him, then be honest with yourself that this isn’t one-sided love. It could simply be a lack of communication between you two. If you love your ex, be honest with yourself that there might be good reasons why aren’t together. Think about why you broke up and if this is really the right person for you. Sometimes we love the idea of someone without really getting to know her. Be honest with yourself about what you know about your love interest and if this is the type of person that is worthy of your love. Knowing that the person is worth your love will make you happier in your decision to love her.  Are there big warning signs that you are overlooking? Is this person mean to you or others? Does she cheat on her current love? Is this someone that you know well, like a friend, and accept both the good and bad about her? There are lots of different reasons why people end up in one-sided love. Figuring out why you are will help you know what to do about it to be happy.  For example, is this a pattern for you? Do you fall in love easily or just love being in love, regardless of whether it could really work out or not? Is the person sending you signs that he might love you also? Is he keeping you hanging? Is this your ex and you still want to be together? Sometimes we can be overly optimistic about how things will turn out in the future. We think that magically things will work out like they do in the movies. Being honest about whether or not the person will ever love you is a big step in being happy with the situation.  Think honestly...

Be honest about the situation. Be honest about who you love. Be honest about why you won’t move on. Be honest about the future. Consider your options.


Accepting that you have herpes will allow you to move forward. Studies have shown that people with herpes who use an acceptance coping style have a better quality of life.  Acceptance coping means accepting that your herpes is real and it is something that you have to address.  Acceptance is an ongoing process that takes time. Many people will refuse to acknowledge that they actually have herpes or will continue to live as though they do not have herpes.  This denial will only make things more difficult for you.   If you know you have herpes and do not inform a sexual partner, this can not only hurt your relationship, but there may be legal ramifications as well: you can be sued for negligence or personal injury if you. Herpes is nothing to be ashamed of, but you need to be honest with your partners so they can make an informed decision and protect their own health. Write down or verbalize any negative feelings and thoughts you have about having herpes. Then, challenge where those negative feelings are coming from and replace them with more positive thoughts.   Focus on the present.  Do not think of the worst case scenario or dwell in your negative emotions.Instead of saying, "My life is over because I have herpes," try saying, "I am living right now, even though I have herpes," or, "I am many things. Having herpes is only one part of my life." You will have to make some changes to your life that may be difficult at first, but know that your life does not have to change dramatically.  You can still do everything that you had planned to do. You may have to take medication every day and deal with an outbreak every once in a while, but you can mostly continue your life as normal. Continue to live the life you had before you were diagnosed.  Make sure that you spend time doing things that you enjoy and make time for your family and friends. Doing simple things like taking a walk or reading a book can help you feel more positive about yourself. When we go through problems, we often isolate ourselves.  This can...

Accepting yourself can help you embrace your special characteristics and learn to deal with being different form others. Instead of trying to change anything about yourself, you must first be able to accept who you are and how you look at this very moment.  Begin by defining your unique qualities. Some examples might be your: religion, culture, diet (if you are vegan, etc), medical history, disability, and physical characteristics. Make a list of all of these "different" qualities and consciously accept each one. Go through the list and say or think to yourself, "I accept my religion. It may be different from others but that does not make it less positive. I embrace my unique beliefs and values. They are just as important and credible as other people's beliefs." If you find yourself thinking negatively like, "It makes me not good enough," about one of your unique qualities, think to yourself, "No, I accept it. It is not bad. It is part of who I am. Differentiating yourself from others by thinking you are different may actually help to protect your self-esteem in certain situations. Say to yourself, “Yes, I am different. Yes, I am unique. I am cool and awesome and no one can change that!” Perhaps you see you different qualities as flaws, but they aren’t, they are what make you special. Try to take each different characteristic you have and make meaning out of it.  For example, let's say you have a physical handicap, how has this disability helped you grow? What have you learned from it and what values have you gained? Many people find that their struggles teach them great lessons in life, especially to value and appreciate what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have. Avoid thoughts of inadequacy. If you think, "I'm not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough," change those thoughts to, "I am good enough for me. I don't need to be the prettiest or the smartest to feel good about myself. I am who I am and I love myself for it." Don’t define yourself as completely different from other people. This...

Accept that you are unique. Re-frame your unique qualities. Realize what you have in common with others. Be proud of your background.


Accessories are often the outfit pieces that can firmly establish the feel of your ensemble. They can dramatically push an outfit toward being more “smart,” or more casual. For example, statement necklaces are usually go-to pieces of jewelry that can liven up and dress up a plainer outfit. They can include color and act as an accent to an otherwise muted outfit.  This same principle goes for earrings. You still want your earrings to be simple, but they can add some flair and elevate to your outfit. If your outfit is already a bit varied with colors and prints, consider toning down to jewelry to balance your look out. Accessorizing your outfit with a belt can add a pop of color to your look, function as a statement piece, or add a bit of texture to your outfit. For example, if your outfit consists of mostly matte fabrics, you can wear a patterned or patent belt to make your ensemble a bit more interesting and add a little variety. Depending on what kind of belt you use, incorporating one into your outfit can make your look more fun and fashionable (if the belt is colored), or more put together and smart (if the belt is more modest). Thin belts tend to look really nice with dresses, and wide belts can pair well with longer skirts. Wearing a watch may bleed over into jewelry territory, but it can be a separate accessory in it’s own right. Try to pick a watch that is simple, yet can make a statement. For example, a watch with a slightly bigger face, but a simple band can make a great accessory addition. Or, if your watch is going to have a bit more color in the band, make sure the face of the watch isn’t so big and bold.  Another thing to consider is the material of the watch. Your watch should be some sort of metal (silver, gold, platinum), but the metal color should go with the other metal pieces in your outfit. For example, if your shoes and purse have gold detailing, avoid wearing a silver colored watch. A colorful or unique purse can act as a statement piece to a calmer, more conservative outfit. Conversely,...

Accessories can add edge or individuality to your look. The right details will complete your style, and they will also create more possibilities for adding variety to your developing wardrobe.  A skinny, brightly colored belt can add a welcome splash of color to a look that consists mostly of blacks and dark colors. For many styles of rockstar fashion, a studded belt is a staple. You can find studded belts at Primark, Haze, Voodoo, PacSun, Claire's Accessories, Attitude and New Look. Spiked bracelets emphasize danger and ferocity. They are popular in punk, metal, and goth styles. Likewise, a skull shaped ring can strengthen a rebellious look. For disheveled looks, Converse sneakers or black boots are popular. For more refined looks, a formal dress shoe may be appropriate. Note that certain styles may lead others to make assumptions about you. For example, people may expect you to skate if you wear skate shoes. A good hairstyle for a rockstar may be either subtle or extreme. Shaggy hair is common as it fits the image of a disinterested rebel. If you want a more extreme look, consider a mohawk or a buzz cut. Fashion and style publications occasionally compile useful lists of rockstar hairstyles. Bring in a picture or show your new rockstar image to a trusted stylist who can help you decide on the right style.  If you are a touring musician, consider a style that will not need regular cuts to maintain. Since you may be on the road for long periods, you may have difficulty scheduling appointments with trusted stylists. Get imaginative with hair dye, wash in colors, and styling products. Rockstar style often involves projecting confidence while looking unusual. Look for pictures of styles that you like and find out which product is used for that style: hair gel, paste, pomade, mousse, cream, or hairspray all have different effects. Ask friends with distinctive hairstyles to suggest their preferred hair products and brands. Look at the rockstars that you have used as models to see how they use makeup. It can be...

Accessories might be the last stage of your dressing routine, but plan around them from the beginning. The contrast between casual yoga pants and fancy accessories can make a fantastic outfit. Draw attention upwards with one or more of these ideas:  A bright scarf Jewelry: either bold and colorful with a simple top, or simple and subtle with a lace top Bold makeup, within reason There's nothing wrong with a simple button-up shirt or blouse, as long as they don't clash with the yoga pants. Since yoga pants can look minimalist, contrast them with something more textured or flowing. For instance, try a trapeze top, drop-shouldered shirt, gathered top, Dolman sleeves, or cowl neckline. In cold weather, a quality cardigan adds pleasant contrast to your sleek leg silhouette. Waterfall cardigans are particularly versatile and comfortable. Wear boots for a classy look, or a nice pair of athletic shoes if you're going for casual chic. If the yoga pants are flared, consider simple footwear to keep attention off the pants and onto more formal portions of your outfit.

Accidentally drilling into your electrical wiring can be a dangerous and costly mistake. You can help prevent mishaps by making sure not to drill directly above or below light switches, outlets, and other obvious electrical fixtures in your walls. If you locate a switch or outlet on an upper floor, try not to drill directly beneath it on the floor below.  You can also avoid accidents by using a wire detector. Some electronic stud finders have built-in live wire detectors. If you must drill near live wires, shut off the power to the area where you’ll be working beforehand. If you’re drilling into a bathroom wall or another wall located near plumbing or a radiator, you may wish to consult a plumber first. They can help you avoid accidentally drilling into a pipe. if you’re drilling into drywall. If your wall is sheetrock or plasterboard, you’ll need to find a stud if you want your drill hole to support anything heavy (such as a mirror, a large painting, or a shelf). The easiest way to find a stud is to use an electronic stud finder. Turn on the stud finder and move it along the wall until it beeps or flashes a light to indicate that it has found a stud. Move it back and forth so that you can figure out where the outer edges of the stud are located.  Studs are wooden beams that form the support structure for the walls. If you don’t have a stud finder, you may be able to locate a stud by knocking on the wall. The areas between studs will have a hollow sound, while the areas over the studs will sound more solid. Once you’ve determined where you want to drill, you’ll need to mark the spot. Use a pencil or other marking tool to make a dot or an X over the exact spot where you want to drill your hole.  If you need to drill 2 or more holes next to each other, use a level to make sure they are properly lined up. If you’re drilling into tile, ceramic, or glass, mark the spot with an X made of masking tape. This will both mark the spot and keep the drill bit from slipping or chipping the tile when you begin to make your hole.

Accidents happen, but if you’ve spilled water—or any other type of liquid—on your engineered hardwood floor, it should be cleaned up immediately. If you allow a liquid spill to sit on hardwood for any length of time, it could soak in and damage the hardwood or the veneer. This could also cause a permanent stain. When you’re cleaning up spills, blot gently at the spills to wipe them up. Do not scrub at the spills, or use forceful pressure to clean the area. If you do, you’ll risk warping the hardwood veneer or pressing liquid down into the wood and causing damage. While these abrasive liquids will clean certain surfaces, they will likely damage your engineered hardwood floor. Ammonia and vinegar could erode or mar the veneer surface on top of the upper layer of hardwood. While a steam cleaner can be a useful tool for cleaning a carpet floor, it should never be used on engineered hardwood. The steam can damage the wood surface by forcing water into the veneer and the top layer of hardwood. A steam cleaner can potentially cause more damage to the hardwood than other forms of cleaning that use excess water (such as an overly wet mop). Since a steam cleaner will force moisture down into the wood, it may damage lower layers of plywood or fiberboard. Tough, abrasive cleaning products—such as steel wool or a wire-bristle cleaning brush—should never be used on a hardwood floor. These products will almost certainly scratch or otherwise damage the veneer on top of the hardwood. Although engineered hardwood floors are more resistant to liquids than traditional hardwood floors, you should still never leave water or any liquid cleaner standing on your floor. Dry the floor with a towel if excess liquid cleaner remains after you’ve finished cleaning the floor. Similarly, if you use a mop that is dripping wet, you’ll risk damaging the top layer of hardwood. If the wood absorbs a substantial amount of water, it may warp or distort. Dry up all water after you’ve mopped the floor.

According to one study, college students may spend 8-10 hours per day on their cell phones.  Tracking your cell phone use such as adding up how many times per hour you check your phone can increase your awareness about your problem.  If you are aware of the extent of your problem you can begin to identify goals and possible solutions. Try downloading an application that tracks your cell phone use like Checky, App Off Timer, or QualityTime. You can use this information to set a specific goal of how many times per hour or day you allow yourself to check your phone. Limit your cell phone use to certain times of the day. You can set an alarm on your phone to alert you when you have reached your maximum time. For example, you can allow yourself to use your phone only from 6pm-7pm. You can also set up specific times not to use your phone, such as while you are at work or school.  Write your plan and goals down to make them more concrete. Keep a log of which goals you’ve met and ones you are still working on. This concept is called positive self-reinforcement and it is used in therapy in order to teach an individual positive behaviors through the use of a reward system.  For example, if you meet your cell phone use goal for the day you can treat yourself to your favorite food, a new item, or an activity. Instead of going cold turkey and completely eliminating your cell phone use (which can be very anxiety-provoking), begin by progressively reducing the amount of time you spend checking your phone.  For example, start by limiting the amount you check your phone to once per 30 minutes, then once per 2 hours, as so on.  Keep a tally of how many times you check your phone per hour. Use your phone only for necessary communications or emergencies. Put your phone somewhere where you will not see it. Turn your phone on silent mode when you are at work, study or anywhere else, so it won't distract you. Cut cell phone use out of your life completely for a short period of time such as a weekend.   Go on a trip or camping where...

According to reflexology theory, this will help to relax you and flush toxins from your system. Also, general massage has been proven to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Hand reflexology points are located more deeply than the similar points on your foot, so warming up your hand is very important to avoid pain.  Gently rub massage oil or moisturizer into the wrist of your hand, using gentle, sweeping motions with your thumb for about 30 seconds. Continue these sweeping motions as you move up to the palm of the hand, sweeping from the inside of the palm to the edges for about 30 seconds. Turn you hand over and gently run your thumb from the webbing between your fingers to the top of your wrist. Grip each finger and give it a gentle side to side twist, rotating the knuckle joint.  Move your hand up and repeat with the second joint and top joint of each finger. Repeat these steps with your other hand. Starting with the tip of your thumb, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze and apply pressure in a gentle circular motion for 3 to 5 seconds. Work your way down your thumb two times, then repeat with your other fingers. Do the same for you other hand. For each area of your palm, you will move downwards, then back up, and then to the side and start down again. At each point, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3-5 seconds.  Start on the soft padding under your fingers. Move on to the center of your palm. Work on the outer edge of your hand, starting under the little finger and continuing to the wrist. Massage the base of your hand, moving from your thumb to the outer edge of you hand. Finish by moving from left to right and back again across your wrist. Remember to apply much less pressure, as the back of your hand is very sensitive.  Starting at the knuckle at the base of your thumb, apply gentle, rotational pressure for 3 to 5 seconds. Work down to the wrist, then move sideways. Continue working from the knuckles to the wrist until you have covered the entire back of your hand. Apply gentle pressure...

According to reflexology theory, this will help to relax you and flush toxins from your system. Also, general massage has been proven to reduce pain and improve quality of life. Rub your hands together quickly, then hold them over your ears for 15 seconds. Rub them again, and hold them over your ears for 15 seconds with the tops of your earlobes folded down. The ear lobe contains reflex points for your head. Pinch and pull the lobe between your index finger and thumb for about 3 minutes. You can do both ears at the same time. Place your index fingers in your ears and rotate them back and forth about 50 times to stimulate and relax your heart and lungs. This the narrow part of your ear above the ridge that sits over the ear canal, and below another ridge of cartilage. Run your index finger back and forth along the cymba conchae of both ears about 50 times to stimulate the digestive system. This is the small depression on the far side of the ridge of cartilage that forms the upper boundary of the cymba conchae. Press your index finger gently into the triangular fossa and rotate back and forth about 50 times. This area – the helix and scaphoid fossa – consists of the curving cartilage at the top of your ear and the space just under it. It contains the reflex points for your arms and shoulders. Pinch it between your thumb and forefinger, then run your thumb down the area repeatedly until it is warm. There is a ridge of cartilage above your ear lobes. Start by using your index fingers to apply gentle presser to the depression on the far side of that ridge. Now run your fingers along the cartilage ridge on the back of the ear and up to the cymba conchae, and back again. Do this 30 times. The tragus is the flap of cartilage that protrudes over your ear canal. Move it up and down 30 times. The back of the ear is divided into and upper, more flexible part, and a lower part that surrounds the ear canal and attaches to the ear lobe. Start by pinching the upper area between your index finger and thumb and pulling on it...

According to several studies, the majority of people diagnosed with a sinus headache had undiagnosed migraines. Fortunately, there are several symptoms that may help distinguish sinus headaches from migraines. For example:  Migraines usually worsen with noise or bright light Migraines are accompanied by nausea and vomiting Migraine pain can be felt anywhere in your head and into your neck  Migraines won't have thick, nasal discharge or loss of smell The primary cause of a sinus headache is inflammation of the mucus membranes lining your sinuses. The inflammation prevents your sinuses from secreting mucus. This causes pressure to build up and causes pain. Sinus inflammation can be caused by any infection, allergies, infections of the upper teeth, or, rarely, tumors (benign or malignant). Symptoms of sinus headaches include:  Pressure and tenderness behind the forehead, cheeks, or around the eyes Pain that worsens with bending forward Pain in the upper teeth Pain that is more intense first thing in the morning Pain that ranges from mild to severe and can be unilateral (on one side) or bilateral (on both sides) Several factors can make you more prone to getting sinus headaches. These factors may include:  A history of allergies or asthma Persistent colds, also known as upper respiratory infections Ear infections Enlarged tonsils or adenoids Nasal polyps Nasal deformities, such as a deviated septum Cleft palate Weakened immune system Prior sinus surgery Climbing or flying to high altitudes Traveling in an airplane while you have an upper respiratory infection Tooth abscess or infection Frequent swimming or diving If your headaches happen more than 15 days a month, or you frequently use nonprescription pain medication, you should see your doctor. You should also consider seeing your doctor if the pain medication doesn't help a severe headache or the headaches interfere with daily life (for example, you often miss school or work because of headaches).

According to the American Dental Association, it doesn't matter whether you use mouthwash before or after brushing - both are equally effective. The more important thing is to use good quality mouthwash. You can carry a little bottle of mouthwash with you during the day to refresh your breath after meals. If you have a problem with bad breath, this can be a good alternative to popping breath mints all day long. Mouthwash is meant to be a supplement to other oral hygiene practices - not a replacement. Make sure you continue to brush and floss your teeth as recommended by your dentist. In most cases you should brush twice a day and floss once. Use mouthwash every time you brush, or just in the morning or at night - it's your choice. If you're using mouthwash in an attempt to treat gingivitis, chronic bad breath, or cavities, you should make an appointment with your dentist to make sure you're using the right mouthwash. Mouthwash alone may not be effective enough to treat the problem you're dealing with, so it's important to get dental care before things get worse.

Use it before or after brushing. Use it to freshen your breath anytime. Don't substitute it for brushing and flossing. Ask your dentist for more information.


According to the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the level of indoor air pollutants are between 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels of pollutants. In addition to smelling bad, these toxins can negatively affect your environment and health. Circulating fresh air throughout your home can eliminate toxins and remove bad odors. Open up your windows, turn on a few fans, and allow the wind and sunshine to naturally eliminate toxins and odors from your home.. Sunshine naturally eliminates foul odors. If you can't open your windows, open up your drapes or curtains. Even after you've eliminated the source of the foul smell, some odors  continue to linger. Air purifiers contain filters that are equipped to absorb these lingering smells. These products can also eliminate indoor pollutants, such as gases and chemical toxins, from your home.  Look for Air Purifiers with HEPA filters. Air purifiers also eliminate allergens and asthma inducing materials from the home environment. Over time, dirt, allergens, molds, and pet hair build up inside air ducts. These materials can emit foul smells and may have an adverse affect on your respiratory health. If you are interested in eliminating this source of bad smells from your home, hire a team of professionals. According to the CDC, there is no evidence to support the claim that cleaning your air ducts will improve the quality of your health. Professionals in the field, however, do assert that it will remove foul smells from your home. After conducting a study on abating indoor air pollution, NASA concluded that low-light houseplants are capable of improving the quality of indoor air. Today, the organization relies on a variety of potted plants to filter out chemicals and carcinogens from their space stations. Like those at the space station, we can benefit from these natural air purifiers too. Use these low-light plants to purify your air and eliminate the smell of varnish, paint, glue, carpet, and detergents. NASA  suggests “having 15 to 18 houseplants” per...

According to the American Nurses Association, nursing today is designed for the protection, promotion and optimization of health and the prevention of illness and injury.  Nurses are advocates in the care of individuals, families and communities. The standardized education of today’s nurses, in contrast to the past, reflects the high expectations communities and physicians have on the men and women who fill these roles. The nursing profession is not just for women; there are over a hundred thousand registered male nurses working in the US. The foundation of all nursing practice is based in human anatomy and physiology. The chief mission of the nursing field is to protect, promote and optimize health. Key responsibilities for nurses include:  Performing physical examinations and taking medical and family histories. Providing counseling and education about health promotion and injury protection. Administering medication and providing wound care. Coordinating care and collaborating with other professionals including doctors, therapists and dietitians. Directing and supervising care and providing education to patients and family, which enable patients to be discharged sooner. Nurse Practitioners are advanced practice nurses who have obtained graduate education which in turn increases their professional responsibilities. Nurse practitioners can serve in multiple roles, including providing direct care to patients, research in healthcare, consulting and education. Some of their duties can include:  Undertaking physical examinations of patients Providing immunizations Diagnosing and treating common illnesses and injuries Managing chronic health problems (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) Ordering and interpret diagnostic tests (e.g., X-rays, EKGs, etc.) Prescribing medications and/or therapies Counseling patients on lifestyle and healthcare decisions Beyond having a breadth of knowledge in medicine (and being someone who does not get squeamish easily!), a Nurse Practitioner must also be skilled in other...
