Your source equipment includes a CD player, cassette player, record player, or other form of media players. You aren’t required to have this equipment available, but it will benefit you if you are a music based station. Consider getting used audio equipment from craigslist or other music posting websites. There are many benefits to having a computer for your radio station and studio. You can generate the bulk of your station's broadcast with only a computer playing music, miscellaneous sounds, and even your own voice. Many radio stations record shows on computers and play them at a selected time over the airways.  If you are first starting out, a computer will cut down on a lot of your audio costs. You can upload your radio show as a podcast or as an internet radio station with a computer. Unless you plan to play music alone, you should invest in at least one microphone, if not two. You will also need an audio mixer to switch between multiple audio outputs like a turntable, microphone, and computer. For a good quality microphones invest in a Sennheiser MD 421 or a Shure SH 55.  There are options if you don’t want to deal with audio equipment. You can invest in a USB microphone that goes directly into your computer. These mics have been continuing to grow and offer a range in quality. Consider getting help from a tech-savvy friend if you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed. Asides from the microphones and mixing boards, you’ll need cables to attach everything together. Most transmitters take an ⅛” jack (headphone jack), so you’ll need to use the right converters for your mixer.  Other cables that might help you are XLR cables (for microphones) and RCA cables (for external audio players).  If you went with the USB microphone, you don’t need to worry about this step. You’ll also need one or two sets of headphones depending on how many people plan to talk. For future endeavors, you should have two headphones or more. If you use multiple headphones, you will also need a headphone splitter. Search through the internet...

Your spiritual adviser, such as a pastor, priest, imam, or rabbi will be able to help you to confess and make things right with God. Remember, their job is to help you on your journey with God! They are happy to help and they understand that man is not perfect: they will not judge you! Even if you are not officially in their congregation, you can ask for advice and set up time to meet with them, so don't feel bad talking to an adviser that you don't know. Don't feel like you have to go to a house of God to repent, however, or that you need to talk to an adviser for God to hear you. God hears just as much from you as a religious leader. You can repent completely on your own if you want to. When you repent, the main thing to do is to correct your behavior. You have to stop committing the sins for which you wish to repent. This is hard, we know, but you can do it! It will usually take time and a few mistakes, but if you really mean it and you really wish to repent, you will be able to overcome. Changing on your own can be really hard. It's okay if you need more that just a love of God in your heart! Admitting you need help will please God, as it shows that you are humble. You can join a support group, consult with a spiritual adviser, join a congregation, or seek doctors and other professionals. Getting help from people outside your church or religion does not displease God: He has helped them to gain the gifts they have for a reason! Another important part of repenting is making right the things you did. You can't just say sorry and then never suffer the consequences. If you stole something, you need to tell the person you stole from and pay them back. If you lied and someone got in trouble because of your lie, you need to tell the truth and help that person. If you cheated on a test, you need to tell your teacher and talk to them about what consequences they think are right. Do whatever you have to do to help the people that were hurt by you. This will please God. Take lessons from the sins you are trying to...

Your spouse's incarceration creates barriers in your marriage such as a lack of intimacy, family involvement, and financial contribution. You have just experienced a loss and a big life change. It's okay to feel sad, mad, angry, upset, frustrated, helpless, or out of control.   It's okay to cry and express your emotions. You may want to journal your feelings and what you're experiencing. Writing down your feelings can be helpful in understanding them. You may feel shame about your spouse being in prison. Perhaps you feel guilty for the crime your spouse committed or somehow responsible for him or her going to jail. You may wonder what you could have done differently or how things could have changed if you had played a different role. Perhaps you feel depressed from experiencing the loss of your spouse to jail. It's important to confront these feelings and work through them. Remember that your spouse is responsible for his or her own decisions. Life is different now. You are now responsible for taking care of the kids, paying the bills, and doing the chores without the aid of your spouse. You now will have to accept that holidays will not include your spouse. It's okay to reflect on happy memories of the two of you together, but don't dwell in the past, wishing for it to be your present. As much as you want things to change, it is out of your control. It's up to you the accept the changes that have occurred.  Accept that your life has changed dramatically. Don't buck against it and make it more difficult for yourself. Accept your feelings as a natural part of the circumstances you are experiencing. You may want to talk to someone about how you feel. You can talk to a close friend or start seeing a therapist. You may feel ashamed to tell people your spouse is in prison and find yourself making excuses like, “He's away on business” or “she's visiting his family.” Before you get too far, think about what you want to tell people about the absence of your spouse. Think about the people you want to know and the...

Your spouse's reasons for cheating may not always be obvious, and you may feel that the natural thing to do is to blame yourself. Maybe you think you've grown distant, or that you haven't been very forthcoming in the bedroom. Maybe you've let work overwhelm you and haven't made enough time for the relationship. However, these may be reasons that your relationship needs some more work, but you need to know that nothing you do can ever cause your spouse to cheat, and you shouldn't ever blame yourself for your spouse's mistakes.  Sure, you may be at fault for a certain problem in the relationship, and it's important to acknowledge that. However, you should never, ever think that some mistake on your part makes your spouse's cheating okay. If you focus too much on blaming yourself, then that will be letting your partner off the hook. It's important for you to focus on your partner's behavior, too. If you want to drive yourself crazy as quickly as possible, then you can ask a million questions about the other man or woman, spend hours stalking that person's Facebook profile, or even try to catch a glimpse of this person in person. You may think that knowing everything about this person can help you figure out what was wrong with your relationship, but in reality, this won't give you any more answers, though it will cause you plenty of pain.  When a spouse is having an affair, it's rarely about the third person. Unless that spouse thinks he's truly started a meaningful relationship with a third party, most of the time, it's really an expression of the cheater's dissatisfaction with himself or the marriage. If you focus too much on the other man or other woman, then you won't be thinking about your spouse or the relationship. Though knowing some things about the affair can bring you comfort, you may not want to know too much about what the other person looks like, what he does for a living, or any other details that are likely to distract you or to make you feel bad about yourself. It's just not worth it. Though you...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Don't blame yourself. Don't obsess over the third party. Don't try to rationalize it. Don't tell the whole world. Don't obsess over what your friends and family will think. Don't take major steps before reflecting. Don't punish your spouse.


Your starter kit comes with samplers you can give others and retail-sized products you can use for demonstrations. You can also buy more samplers and demonstration products as you need them.  Samples allow potential customers to experience the products before purchasing them. Showing customers how great a product is can make them more inclined to purchase it. Be generous but smart. Giving away free samples to random people you pass on the sidewalk is a good way to get rid of those products, but not necessarily a good way to get more customers. Whenever possible, engage a potential customer in conversation first. If that person seems interested, give them a sample. If not, thank her for her time, and press on. A Mary Kay facial means teaching skincare. At the same time, you will be sharing the Mary Kay products (selling), and, if you want, sharing the Mary Kay opportunity (recruiting). It's just as easy to facial 5 ladies as it is to facial 1 lady, so invite friends and family to a small party or skin care class, and encourage them to bring along acquaintances, as well. Afterwards, you can ask one or more of them to host her own party, inviting her own friends, and have the party at her house, and you'll offer hostess rewards to thank her (often free products or discounts.) You will want to follow up with each person who attended the party, to address her specific needs and develop a better relationship with her. You can offer her hostess rewards if she wants to invite friends to her follow-up appointment. Before each facial or party, contact each guest to talk with her about her skin care needs and the best makeup application techniques for her to use based on her skin tone, face shape, and other unique qualities. Through Mary Kay, you can subscribe to have a personal website for your business for only $30 for the first year and $60 a year thereafter. This is fully run and operated by Mary Kay, and looks almost exactly like the company's official website at marykay.com. Your personal website however will make...

Your state's Department of Transportation may have a designated traffic station that gives constant real-time reports. This can also be helpful if you are driving long distances on the highway, in which case you can also look for roadside signs posting the local traffic station. Some DOT websites also have apps and online resources for checking traffic in real-time. If you have a favorite radio station that has local news and weather, it is very likely that they also broadcast traffic reports at specific times in the day. Call in to the radio station or check their website to see when these reports are aired. Daily traffic reports should be able to tell you what the current traffic conditions are based on traffic cameras, sensors, and freeway incident response teams. Some radio stations include traffic reports with their daily news broadcasts. Check a map and find a few alternatives to your usual route in case traffic is particularly heavy. That way, you will be able to choose which route to take quickly once you hear the traffic report. Double check that your radio is on the correct station and that it is turned to AM or FM as necessary. If you are listening to a traffic-only station, you can tune it at any time. If you are waiting for a specific traffic report, make sure you know when it airs so you can turn your radio on at the right time. But preferably, you should set the radio right before starting your journey, so you don't have to essentially get distracted while driving, as preventing accidents is the main priority.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Check your state's DOT website for traffic radio stations. Call or look online to see if your local radio stations do traffic reports. Decide on 2 or 3 choices of routes before you tune in. Make sure your radio is tuned to the right station and tune in at the correct time.


Your stool may change color and become very pale if you have jaundice. This change occurs because when you have jaundice, there may be a duct blockage causing reduced bilirubin in your stool, leaving most of it to be excreted in your urine.  Most bilirubin is normally excreted in your stool. Your stool may even be grey if you have severe obstruction.  your stool may have blood in it or be black if you are having bleeding complications from liver disease. Bilirubin is also normally excreted in your urine, though less than is normally in your stool. When you have jaundice, however, your urine becomes darker because of the higher levels of bilirubin being excreted by this means.  You may also notice that you end up peeing less each time you go to the bathroom. Be sure to track how frequently you go, whether you pee a lot or a little each time, and what color your urine is so you can tell your doctor. Urine changes may occur before skin colouration changes so remember to tell your doctor when you first started noticing your urine getting darker. Newborn baby urine should be clear. If your baby has jaundice, you can expect his urine to be darker yellow. If you have jaundice, your liver and spleen may become enlarged, which in turn can cause your abdomen to become distended. In addition, liver disease may cause fluid to build up in your abdomen.  A swollen abdomen is usually a later sign of an illness that also causes jaundice, and is not caused by the jaundice itself.  You may also experience abdominal pain because the underlying illness could cause your liver to become infected or inflamed. An illness that causes jaundice might also cause you to have swollen ankles, feet and legs. The liver helps in the excretion of bilirubin in urine and, when its function is interfered with, or if there is excess pressure in the circulation associated with the liver, fluid accumulates in different parts of the body, causing swelling. Jaundice can cause you to have a fever of 38C (100.4F) and higher. The reason for the fever may...

Your stories could be humorous or serious.  In either case, ensure your story has a logical beginning, middle, and end.   Your goal is to make people interested, not to assault them with facts.  Sliding in a joke or making a sarcastic comment makes you seem more approachable, and the people will be more comfortable speaking to you.  You could tell a story about a weird day at work.  You might begin by saying, “I had a weird day at work.  This balloon-selling clown came into the office and was trying to sell balloons to everyone.  Soon we all had balloons.  I even bought one myself!” Whatever your topic is, ensure it can be understood by your audience.  If it has to do with a particular episode in your line of work, explain industry terms and situations that might not be apparent to your conversation partner. Instead of saying, “We had to switch from the scanning electron microscope to the X-ray interferometer,” explain that “The initial type of scan we used didn’t work, so we tried another.” Keep your story short. Try to keep it from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Anything longer might make the person uninterested. Ask yourself how you feel about a range of different topics.  These could be very mundane topics like starting a new job, or very significant topics like the state of race relations in modern society.  Whatever the topic, create a simple sentence linking the topic to your feelings on it.  For instance, you might express to a conversation partner, “I feel so angry about what the Presidential front-runner said yesterday.” After expressing yourself, ask how the other person feels about the topic.  For instance, using the prior example, you might give a few reasons as to why you were so upset by what the candidate said, then ask, “What about you?  How do you feel about the Presidential front-runner?”  By inviting the other person to share their thoughts with you in the form of an emotional opinion, you are likely to have a spirited and interesting exchange. If you’re at a wedding, for instance, you might...

Your storm shelter will need to be anchored into a strong concrete slab foundation. Choose a location in your basement or on your ground floor near a structural wall so your shelter will be out of the way and has additional support.  Choose a location above ground if you’re concerned about flood risking from severe storms such as hurricanes. Basement shelters are more effective protection against tornadoes than above-ground shelters. A bathroom, closet, or corner of the garage are also suitable locations for your storm shelter. Move any storage items, furniture, or decor from the area you’ve selected to place your shelter. You also need to remove any tiling, carpeting, or any other flooring if it’s covering the structure’s foundation.  Move any items far enough that they won’t get in your way while you’re working. Make sure there’s a clear path to the storm shelter area and it can be accessed quickly. FEMA recommendations state that there needs to be enough floor space for each person to occupy the shelter for the duration of the tornado or hurricane. Count each person that you believe may need to use the shelter in an emergency and multiply that by 7 square feet (0.65 m2) to find the total area your shelter needs to cover.  For example, if you have a family of 4 people, then you would need a space that covers an area of 28 square feet (2.6 m2). Consider adding an additional person or two into your calculations in case you need more space. The formula for finding the area of a square is to multiply the length of 1 side by the width of 1 side. Find the lengths of your walls based on the square footage or meters that you need. Then, use a ruler or tape measure to measure the lengths on the ground. A square shaped shelter will provide the strongest protection against a storm.

Look for a location on top of the building’s foundation. Clear the area of any obstructions. Calculate 7 square feet (0.65 m2) for each person. Measure the length of your storm shelter walls.


Your story will have a beginning that introduces your characters, setting, and conflict. The middle of the story will include rising tension, complications, and your characters' reactions to the conflict. Finally, the end will detail the resolution of your conflict and the aftermath.  Your ending should come when the main character reaches or fails to reach their goal For example, if your character wants to be rich, they could go through various challenges in order to buy a lottery ticket. Do they succeed? If so, end with the moment they hear all the numbers on their ticket being announced. Your story may have many exciting important events, but you need to choose one good scene to encapsulate your story's resolution. Make sure this scene makes sense as a final moment of the story and allows you to neatly tie up your story threads. Finally, your end scene needs to hold significance for your characters so that the reader is left with that feeling. For example, you might end your story with a scene that presents the aftermath of a major decision that resolved your story's conflict.

Your students will be more inclined to act in positive ways if they feel like their teacher cares about them as individuals. To build relationships with your students, interact with them in informal situations such as before and after class, and use instructional methods that encourage them to share their personal views and experiences with the class. For example, before class, stand by the door and greet each of your students by name as they arrive. On Monday mornings, ask them to share something fun they did over the weekend. Building relationships is a two-way street. In addition to showing an interest in your students’ lives, you should share aspects of your life with your students as well. This will help your students feel like they know you as a person and not just as an authority figure. You should share details of your life but avoid oversharing. For example, if you return from a vacation with friends you might talk about the places you visited, but avoid talking about drinking or partying. Humor is essential for building a positive atmosphere. Humor helps your students feel comfortable and at-ease in your classroom. Incorporate humor into your lesson-plans and use it everyday.  One good way to include humor in your lessons is to preface each lesson with a cartoon. If you look through comics like the Far Side or Calvin & Hobbes you can find scenarios that match almost any lesson plan! Make sure to keep your humor positive and avoid sarcasm. Class meetings give students a sense of ownership over their situation. Make time for a weekly class meeting where students can freely discuss what it means to have a positive classroom atmosphere.  Begin the meeting with a discussion question like, “Why is it important to respect other people’s cultures?”  How can students include others in activities? Use your authority as a teacher to moderate discussions. Encourage positive, constructive discussion. Your students will feel more secure, positive, and trusting if they know what is expected of them in your...

Your students will learn a word more quickly and more deeply if they’re able to understand it on their own terms. Ask your students to raise their hands and give their own definitions of the words. For example, if the word is “concept” and you’ve given the definition as “an abstract idea,” your students will likely be able to come up with their own definitions of “concept” that still get the overall meaning right. If they’re way off in their definitions—for example, if a student says that “concept” means “something that I built”—correct them. For example, you might say, “actually, a concept is more like the idea of the thing you want to build in your mind before you actually build it.” Images help students associate words with their meanings. Have your students think of a way to draw the word you’re teaching them.  For example, if the word is “enthusiastic,” you might ask your students to draw a person with an enthusiastic expression. If the word is more abstract, like “intention,” explain what the word means and have your students draw whatever comes to their minds. Even if it’s just an arrow pointing forward, that will reinforce the true meaning of the word. Ask your students to come up with synonyms and antonyms for the word. This will help the place the word in a broader context. You can also have them come up with rhyming words or put the word in a song. This will really push your students to think about the deeper meaning of the word and how it relates to things in the real world.  For example, if the word is “migraine,” you might ask them what a migraine feels like. If a student says “a migraine is like a chisel in your brain,” they’re on the right track! Be careful using this method since sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a creative metaphor and a misunderstanding of the word. For example, if the word is “antidote” and a student says, “an antidote is like a sip of cool water,” make sure the student knows the difference between an antidote and a sip of cool water. Break your students...

Create a print-rich classroom environment.

Your sunroof has tubes that help drain any water that leaks through the seal of your sunroof. They’re usually located at the front 2 corners of your sunroof. Open it up all of the way and find the 2 small openings that lead to the drain tubes.  If you can’t find your drain holes, check your owner’s manual to see if you can locate them there. If you don’t have your owner’s manual, look up the make and model of your vehicle online to find them. There may be 4 drain holes for your sunroof. Check all of the corners for small openings. The rails leading to the openings of the drain tubes can get clogged with dirt and debris. Take a clean, damp cloth and scrub the inside of the rails to remove anything trapped in them. Then, use the cloth to clean and clear the openings of the drain tubes.  Pull out any large pieces of debris that you see. Scrub away any grime to keep it from building up and trapping more dirt. The drain tubes of a sunroof are commonly clogged at the top of the tubes, near the opening. Take a shop vac, turn it on, and hold the hose over the opening of the drain tubes to suck out any dirt or debris that may be lodged inside.  Hold the hose up to each of the drain holes for 2-3 minutes to allow the suction to work out any trapped dirt. You can find shop vacs at department stores and online. If you don’t have a shop vac, you can use the hose attachment of a standard vacuum cleaner, though it may not have as much suction as a shop vac. Snake a pipe cleaner into the opening of the drain tubes and work it around to dislodge stubborn debris that may be clogging them. Rotate the pipe cleaner and slide it back and forth to really clear the drains. Then, use a shop vac to suck out any debris that you dislodged.  Do not use a hard instrument like a wire hanger or a stick or you could damage the drain tubes and cause your sunroof to leak even more. A pipe cleaner is bendy and flexible and won’t damage your drain tubes. You can find them at craft stores, big box stores, smoke supply shops, and online.

Open your sunroof and locate the drain holes in the front corners. Clean the track and the area around the drain holes with a damp cloth. Vacuum out the drain tubes with a shop vac. Insert a pipe cleaner in the drain holes to unclog them.


Your supervisor should give you a script to follow for your initial sales pitch. Or you may be asked to create your own script based on some guidelines. You’ll want to avoid reading the script word-for-word, since this an easy way to lose a potential customer’s interest. Memorize it by reading it several times, then trying to cite it from memory one line at a time. In the telemarketing industry, the product offer is known as an “Elevator pitch” because of how it summarizes the product or service in a few sentences, which should be recited during the time it takes to ride in an elevator. If you're just starting out in telemarketing, you might have problems with shyness. To reduce any reluctance you may have to make calls because of shyness, ask your supervisor if you could practice your sales pitch in front of a group of fellow employees. Ask them to give you feedback on how clearly you’re speaking, the appropriateness of your tone of voice, and how convincing your delivery is.  Ask one person in the group to act as the potential customer, and carry out a mock sales conversation with them. Another good way to build confidence is to shadow a fellow employee. Ask your supervisor about spending time watching, listening to, and taking notes on a top employee while they make calls. Asking your boss for extra help will show them that you’re a dedicated employee and interested in doing all you can to help the company. In order to be able to speak convincingly about the product or service you’re pitching to the potential customer, it’s important that you understand it well. Ask your supervisor for a written summary of the product or service that you can study. If you’re selling a physical item, ask to see the product so you can study its characteristics and afterwards describe it better to the customer. Most telemarketing firms limit their calling lists to potential customers who are most likely to buy their products or services.

Your surface must be clear of debris before you begin to weld.  To prepare carbon steel, use a grinder or sander and polish it down to a bare, shiny metal. For aluminum, it is best to use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush. For stainless steel, just wipe down the weld area with some solvent on a rag. Make sure to store the rag and chemicals in a safe place before welding. Unscrew the back of the electrode holder on the collet, insert the tungsten electrode, and screw the back on again. Generally, the electrode should hang about 1/4-inch away from the protective sheath on the collet. Use an angle iron and/or a flat bar with c-clamps to secure the parts you want to weld together. A tack weld is a very small weld that is intended to hold a part in place until the final weld can be completed. Place tack welds every few inches where your two metals meet. Be sure to hold it at about a 75 degree angle with the tungsten raised no more than 1/4-inch off the metal. Don't let the tungsten touch the work piece or it will contaminate your material. Your weld puddle should be about 1/4-inch wide. It is important to keep your puddle size consistent throughout the weld to avoid a messy finish. Hold it so it rests horizontally at a 15 degree angle from the work piece at the base where the torch will heat the piece. The heat of the arc will create a puddle, a pool of molten metal that is used to fuse the two pieces of metal together.  Once there is a puddle on both pieces of metal, tap the filler rod into the molten puddle in quick dabs to avoid clumping. The filler rod adds a reinforcement layer for your weld. Unlike MIG welding, where you lead the puddle in the direction that the torch is leading, with TIG welding you push the puddle the opposite direction that the torch leans.  Think of your hand motion as that of a left-handed person operating a pencil. While a right-handed person moves their pencil like a MIG weld, with the angles both tilted to the right, a left-handed person has their pencil tilted to the left,...

Your symptoms should start to improve after you start treating the fungal infection. If they don't, you may need medical treatment. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and how long you've been having them. Then, discuss your treatment options so you can feel better.  Typically, foot fungus starts growing between your toes and can spread to the rest of your foot. The affected area will likely get red and may feel itchy, dry, or scaly. You may also feel a burning sensation.  Toenail fungus is also a type of foot fungus. This causes yellowish or brownish nails that thicken and crumble easily. Additionally, your nail may separate from the nail bed and come off. When you have diabetes, infections on your feet can quickly become serious and cause complications. You probably don't need to worry, but it's best to get treatment as soon as you notice symptoms. This will help you protect your feet and avoid potential complications.Since diabetes can affect your nerves, it's possible that your fungal infection may become more serious before you notice the symptoms. This means it's really important to get checked by your doctor. Look for an over-the-counter antifungal ointment, cream, powder, or spray. Then, apply the product as directed on the label. Typically, you'll need to use your antifungal product twice a day until your foot heals. If your infection is serious or won't go away, your doctor may give you a prescription-strength treatment. They may even offer you an oral antifungal medication to help you heal faster.

Your tail should go from your hip to the bottom of your knee. Cut a fabric strip this length by 4 inches wide. Fold the tail in half (lengthwise) and sew it shut. Also, sew the bottom shut up leave the top. Untwist and unfold your wire hanger. You want to cut it to be an extra 6 inches longer than the length of your tail. Wrap excess fabric (or cotton if you have it) around your wire. Be sure to begin by wrapping the tip so that the wire doesn’t poke through the end of the tail. Wrap it to the last 6 inches. Place your fabric wrapped wire into your tail. Bend the tail into the shape and curve that you wish. Bend the top part of your wire. You may want to use pliers. Bend it into a hook that will grasp onto your belt. Simply make a tight “J” shape for a good hold. The tighter the “J” shape, the more support your tail will have to stand up. Have a friend help you. Once the tail is attached to your belt, put the belt on. Have a friend shape the tail for you once again to ensure the perfect style.

Your task is to destroy each tombstone using the ice staff. Each of the three gravestones are located in the following positions: to the right of the MP-40 near Generator 4, between the Excavation Site and a large footprint near Generator 4, and at the top of the small hill on your right when heading left out of the back exit of the bunker next to Generator 2. Each tombstone is light gray in color, and may blend in slightly with the game’s background. This will freeze each tombstone so they can be destroyed with a weapon. The tombstones will shatter and become destroyed. After destroying all three tombstones, you’ll hear Samantha’s voice and enter the third phase of your mission.

Your teacher may be using a weighted grading system. This means that your work will still have points, but those points will be worth different amounts based on what category it falls into. Common categories include homework, tests, quizzes, final exam, and participation.  Each category will be worth a certain percentage of your grade. To get a good grade, you will need to score all or a majority of the points in each category. However, scoring fewer points in a category which is only worth a small percentage of your grade will not affect your grade as much as if the category was worth a large percentage. For ease of calculating, we will assume that each category is worth a number of point equal to its percentage weight (For example, a category worth 20% will be worth 20 points). This should make the total number of “points” for the class equal 100, which should make it significantly easier to calculate your grade. Different teachers will prioritize different things in their class, based on their philosophy of teaching and what they believe is most important. For example, some teachers will most heavily weight the final exam, whereas others will most heavily weight participation. Using the same method discussed above, figure out your point percentage for each category. Think of it like figuring out your grade, but just for homework or just for your quizzes. If you are trying to figure out how you will do in the overall class, you will have to guess how well you will do on the work you have not completed. Multiply that percentage score by the number for the category to find out how many points you earned for that category. For example, if you earned 95% in a category weighted at 20% (.95 x 20 = 19), you will earn 19 points for that category. Add the resulting numbers for each category to find out your percentage for the class. This can then be compared against the chart below to find your letter grade.

Your team will feel more motivated to accomplish their tasks if they have a clear idea of what they are. Make sure that everyone on your team knows what the goals for the day or week are to encourage them to work together to achieve those goals. Use a calendar to set clear goals for the day. People will be motivated to complete their work for the day before they go home. The biggest motivation you can give your team is fair compensation. People perform better if they’re paid what they deserve. If you pay your team less than they can get paid doing something else or working somewhere else, you won’t have a dedicated and loyal team willing to perform to the best of their abilities.  Consider regular pay increases to keep your team motivated. Research industry pay rates for your team members so they’re being fairly compensated. Praise and recognition are very worthwhile methods of inspiring your team, but cash bonuses will motivate them to perform as well. Set a performance goal that comes with a bonus if your team can accomplish it. Your team will perform better in order to receive the reward.  Give a holiday bonus to allow your team members to enjoy time with their families. Consider tying a small cash prize to an employee of the month award. Your team will be motivated to perform better if they believe there are opportunities to advance their careers and make more money. If a position opens up that you need to fill, offer it to a member of your team first to show them that their performance is being rewarded. It will also motivate the other members of your team if they believe they can also get promoted in the future.

Your teeth bear the brunt of a lot of abuse and gunk over the course of your day. Between food and other factors, it's important to keep your teeth clean and white. Brush your teeth twice a day; once in the morning, and another time before going to sleep. Take at least two minutes to brush your teeth. It may help to divide your teeth into sections and spend 30 seconds brushing each quarter of your mouth.  Although whitening strips have nothing to do with actually cleaning your teeth, getting your teeth a few shades whiter can make your mouth look cleaner. Flossing is recommended as well. Flossing helps clean your teeth in the spaces your toothbrush isn't able to reach. Even if you brush twice a day, you should floss a minimum of once daily. If left unwashed for more than a couple of days, your hair will build a shiny layer of oil that will make you look unkempt and greasy. Having a shower and cleaning your hair thoroughly with shampoo is recommended at least three times a week. Apply the shampoo evenly throughout your hair, and massage it to the scalp. Although you should rinse your hair in hot water every morning, you should only shampoo your hair every other day. This will allow for a healthy build of natural oils to make your hair shiny without becoming excessively greasy.  Keep your hair properly maintained. Even if you're trying to grow it out, you should be regularly trimming the ends to prevent split-ends. If your hair is long, you should make a point of brushing it throughout the day, especially if you're spending time outdoors where it's windy or rainy. Your hair should be thoroughly brushed or combed after washing it. This will keep it from being a mess once it dries. Your lips are an important indicator of health. Applying a lip balm regularly will keep them from getting chapped or flaky. This is especially important if you have a natural tendency for dry lips. Even if you look clean everywhere else, unkempt lips will attract negative attention. You can have facial hair and still be considered...

Your testimony is a strong tool you can use when witnessing to non-Christians. Since the primary purpose is to honor God and advance His kingdom, praying to the Holy Spirit for guidance before you set pen to paper is a logical first step. Get an idea of what to include by reading an effective testimony someone else wrote. You can either use a contemporary example or look for an example provided in scripture.  One of the best examples you can read through is Paul's testimony in the Bible. To read his testimony, check out Acts 22 and Acts 26. You should also ask yourself if there were any testimonies you heard or read prior to your conversion that left an impact on you. If so, recall the details of that testimony and determine what made it so powerful from your point of view. More specifically, think back on your life and attitude before you gave your life to Christ. Ask yourself what issues were important to you and what arguments for conversion had the greatest impact on your final decision. Seek to include these elements in your own testimony. More specifically, ask yourself about the obstacles you faced and how you felt when you were alone with your thoughts. Remember what it was that made you crave change, and any attempts you made to change in other ways prior to your conversion. Before you write out the actual testimony, it can be a good idea to write an outline or to otherwise summarize each section of your testimony. As a general rule, your testimony should be divided into three parts: your life before Christ, your decision to convert, and your life after conversion.

Pray for guidance. Read an example. Think about your past. Write an outline.

You’ll also want it to be clear and accurate enough that your proposal when come up during searches for your research topic.  For example, try a short, informative title like, “Medieval Plagues and the Movement Towards Humanism,” or “The Negative Impact of Alcohol on Liver Function.” Avoid phrases like “An Investigation of…” or “A Review of the…” A title page introduces the title of your proposal, your name, and the primary institution you are connected to.  Each sponsoring agency may specify a format for the title page. If an agency does not, apply the APA style. Include a "running head" in the upper left corner. The running head will appear on all pages of the document and should be a shortened version of the title. Include the page number in the upper right corner. The page number should appear on all pages of the proposal. Center the full title of your research proposal roughly 1/3 of the way down the page.

Your title will vary depending on what kind of book you are writing. Nonfiction titles can be creative, but should be more descriptive of what the book is about. Fiction titles can be more mysterious or creative. The title is the first thing your readers will read. The title needs to give readers some idea of what’s inside the book, entice, and be informative.  If you have a nonfiction book like a series of essays, or a biography, your title should be more to the point. Fiction or genre stories like horror, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery, should be creative and entice readers to want to know more, offering intrigue. Use words that are commonly associated with certain genres to start. A mystery novel could use a title like “The Mysterious Road Forks”. Readers will identify this title with mystery, unanswered questions, and a plot involving a strange road. Fantasy and science fiction titles can include made up names or places, or words of magic. “The Signal from Vandor” could be a title to a science-fiction book that tells of a strange alien signal from a far away planet named “Vandor”. Every book, fiction or nonfiction has at least one major theme; and even nonfiction stories follow some type of plot. Write down what your themes and plot are in one paragraph. Think about what your characters do throughout your story. What sort of moral dilemmas do these characters deal with?  If your book is about a hero or group of heroes conquering evil, then your theme deals with good vs. evil. Perhaps you have a fictional story that takes place in the real world. Are your characters dealing with growing older, moving on to another stage in life, hiding a secret, death, or something else? If you have a nonfiction book, ask yourself why you are writing this book. Are you writing a series of essays about a specific event because you feel compelled to inform others? Maybe you’re exploring some aspect of history that you are inspired by. Whatever kind of book your titling, write a paragraph that summarizes your themes...

Your toddler may be ready to use a spoon by the time she reaches 12 to 15 months old.  However, if you have not introduced her to finger foods by that time, you should do so before starting to teach her how to use a spoon. Eating finger foods will help your child to learn how to bring food to her mouth. Finger foods include:  Chunky slices of fruits and vegetables. Dry crackers and cereals. After your toddler has gotten used to eating with finger foods, you may notice that she starts eyeing your utensils during Mealtime. She might even indicate her desire to hold a spoon. If you see this happening, allow her to try using the spoon all by herself. Be prepared for a mess and always remember to applaud her efforts. By the 18th month, your child will most likely have figured out how to use the spoon properly though there will still be times when she will revert back to using her hands to feed herself. She will revert back to finger foods because at this stage her dexterity is still not that developed. To help your child’s dexterity, give her foods that will stick to the surface of the spoon.

Your toddler’s doctor can help you understand your child’s needs, strengths, and limitations. They may also be able to recommend basic exercises that are safe and appropriate for your child’s age, physical condition, and overall health. Tell the doctor about your toddler’s health history, any current symptoms, and any medications they are taking. Depending on your child’s condition, your pediatrician may recommend medications to help make physical activity easier and safer. For example, they may prescribe an inhaled corticosteroid (such as Flovent) for a toddler with asthma. Pediatric physical therapists can help you develop exercise routines designed to address your toddler’s specific needs (e.g., improving range of motion or building muscle tone). Ask your doctor to recommend a pediatric physical therapist with experience working with toddlers who have your child’s specific condition.  Bring any relevant health records to your child’s first physical therapy appointment. The physical therapist may wish to consult directly with your pediatrician and any professional childcare providers. The physical therapist may recommend regular exercise sessions in their office as well as exercises that you can do with your child at home. If your toddler goes to school or daycare, the teachers or staff there may be able to help your child exercise safely. Give them detailed information about any instructions from your child’s pediatrician or physical therapist. Let them know if your child needs medications to manage any of their symptoms. If your child’s school offers Individual Education Plans (IEP) for children with special needs, look into enrolling your child. Your toddler’s IEP team will include specialists who can help facilitate safe and appropriate physical activity for your child.

Your toes have gone blue. This may mean you are not getting enough oxygen or blood to the area, and this can become serious if not treated straight away. You have broken your cast. If your cast is broken, it will not be giving your leg enough support. Your leg may move, causing it to heal incorrectly if not fixed. You are experiencing a lot of pain or unusual sensations. This can also mean that your leg is not getting enough oxygen or blood around the area, and this must be treated urgently. Any other problems listed on this list.

Your tractor will also need to be able to bear the weight of the plough blade on its frame. Don’t attempt the conversion unless you are sure it can handle it. Rather than risk converting the mower yourself, consider purchasing one that already has a snow plough attachment available from the manufacturer. John Deere tractors offer this as an option. You’re advised to get your tractor serviced before you begin. Check the frame carefully for rust. Rust will weaken the structure, making it less likely that it will be able to bear the weight of a snow plough blade at the front while also being able to push snow out of the way. Remember also that garden tractor tires aren’t usually intended for use on snow. You might like to consider fitting snow chains to the tires in addition to converting the front fitting. Wheel weights may also help rebalance the vehicle. Not all ride-on tractor mowers will be suitable for turning into a snow plough. Some cheap models won’t be heavy or sturdy enough or have enough horsepower to push deep snow out of the way.

Your ultimate goal may be to hold a top leadership position in a company or to manage a large department. Be specific about your career goals. Write your goals down and keep them in your desk so that you can remind yourself to stay motivated. Ask them to explain to you how they worked their way up the corporate ladder. Their advancement paths and strategies might resonate with you and give you inspiration. However, remember that each person's path to success is unique. Approach your co-worker when they have free time. Tell them that you admire their work, and that you hope to increase your value to the company. Ask them: "How do you recommend pursuing a promotion here?" or "How did you work your way to your current position?". You could even praise them for a specific task that they recently completed, and ask them how they went about accomplishing it. Understanding your role's value to the overall process and to the company will allow you to demonstrate the proper commitment. Maintain a positive attitude; you never know who is paying attention. There may be multiple departments with various levels of management within each.

Your unconscious mind can make a huge difference in your day-to-day happiness. If you started your day in a bad mood, there's a good chance your day went downhill pretty quickly. That's because your mind's unconscious thought patterns affected the way you interacted with the world, as well as the way you processed information and situations around you. Most daily events aren't explicitly good or bad, but if your unconscious mind has prompted you to be in a bad mood, you'll probably see those events as significant burdens. But the opposite is true, too: if your unconscious mind has set you up to be in a positive mood, you probably see even somewhat unpleasant events as mere inconveniences. The unconscious mind works largely through recognized patterns and habits in your everyday life. It's what allows your brain to go into "autopilot" while you drive to work or walk to the subway. Sometimes autopilot is a good thing. But if you're trying to tap int your subconscious brain's power, you may need to change up your routine a little everyday. This may help prevent your subconscious mind from falling into the old ways of thinking that may have hampered your ability to succeed in the past.  Even minor changes in your day-to-day routine can have a big impact in how you interact with the world around you. You'll force your subconscious mind to engage more with your environment, which is how you'll eventually train your mind to focus on and engage with your goals.  Try taking a different route home once in a while, or changing up your at-home routine when you get home from work. Little changes like this can make a big difference in how your subconscious mind interacts with your surroundings. Once you recognize how your subconscious mind affects the way you interact with the world, you'll eventually open yourself to new ways of thinking and feeling. It will take time and a lot of effort, but eventually you will be able to recognize when your brain is distorting a given situation and train yourself to stop forcing the...

Your understanding of hypnosis may come from movies or pop culture when a mysterious proctor helps a person remember something buried deep from the past or find clues to something that has happened. Self-hypnosis is a process of connecting your body to your mind through concentrated effort. In the hypnotic state, you go into a trance, or heightened attention, in which you can use this mind/body connection for a specific purpose.  People may use self-hypnosis to relieve stress, alleviate pain, or change bad habits. The process can be carried out with a trained therapist, guides, audiotapes, or videos. Although you are in a suggestive state, you are always in control, unlike what you may see in movies. . Change into comfortable clothing, such as a loose-fitting t-shirt and shorts. Move into a pleasant environment which has a comfortable temperature and a door so that you can avoid being distracted for at least half an hour. Turn your phone on silent. What you choose to focus on during self-hypnosis is your choice. You can use this concentrated effort to relieve a discomfort such as headache or help you stop procrastination. As you escape to your mind using self-hypnosis, think about what you would like the goal of your session to be. For the purposes of this example, the goal of self-hypnosis will be relaxation. To enter the trance state, call to mind the most elaborate staircase. It leads to your most special place. Close your eyes.

Your upper lip should be tight against your upper teeth, which may be slightly exposed. Your lower lip should be tight against your lower teeth, which should be fully covered. You mouth should look like you are smiling with no teeth. This positioning will create a very loud, attention-grabbing whistle of the sort you can use to hail a cab when your hands are full. Use your fingers to set your lips into place until you get the positioning correct. Position it so that it is broad and flat, and hovering just behind your bottom teeth. There should still be a slight space between your tongue and bottom teeth, but don't let them touch. Direct your breath downwards towards your lower teeth. You should be able to feel the downward force of the air on your tongue. The air will flow at a sharp angle created by the top of your tongue and your upper teeth, downward across your lower teeth and lip. This produces a uniquely loud tone.  This whistle will require some practice and exercise. Your jaw, tongue and mouth will all be slightly strained when you whistle this way. Try to broaden and flatten the tip of your tongue until you produce a loud, clear tone. Remember that your tongue should float in your mouth more or less at the level of your bottom row of teeth. Changing the position of your tongue, cheek muscles, and jaw will produce a wide variety of whistle sounds.

Places the twisted spring onto the hinge pin, and install one leg of the spring into the notch in the ejection port cover.  Slide the hinge pin the rest of the way, through the second set of holes in the ejection-port cover, and into the receiver. Your ejection port cover is now assembled. Test it, it should snap shut and spring open. First, clean the surface of your barrel and the threaded area of the upper receiver. You can clean them with gunscrubber or brake part cleaner. Next apply a little molybdenum-disulfide grease to the threads of the upper receiver. The delta ring is a collar like fastener around the barrel . Most of the time your barrel will already have the delta ring installed, as part of the barrel nut assembly. The barrel nut assembly consists of the barrel nut, delta ring, weld springs, and snap ring. If your receiver does not already have this assembly, here is how to install the barrel nut assembly:  Put the delta ring on the barrel, with the tapered end of the delta ring facing the muzzle. Push the tapered end of the delta ring over the back end of the barrel nut. Place the weld spring assembly over the barrel nut shank. Install the snap ring behind the weld spring. Push the snap ring forward so that it compresses the weld springs, and use snap ring pliers to snap the ring around the barrel nut shank. Once this is done your barrel...

Install ejection port cover. Prepare the barrel and upper receiver. Check the status of the delta ring on your barrel. Install the flash suppressor. Install the barrel. Thread on the barrel nut. Insert gas tube. Install the handguards. Check your assembly. Upper receiver is now complete.


Your vaccinations should be mixed in with roughly the amount of water your chickens can drink in 2 hours. For 2-3 days prior to vaccination, check your water meter readings in 2 hour intervals. This will give you a rough idea of how much water you will need when it comes time to vaccinate. You can also check with your vet or the vaccine manufacturer for their recommended dosage and mixing instructions. Many will provide tables with the vaccine estimating the amount of water you need based on the age of your birds and the current air temperature. It is very important that your watering system be clean and free of chlorine. Stop running chlorine, disinfectants, and other medications through your watering system at least 48 hours before planning on vaccinating your chickens. You should also clean all buckets, jugs, whisks, and other tools you plan on using during the vaccination process.  You can clean your watering system and tools with the same cleaners you typically use. Remember to rinse them thoroughly, though. It may be helpful to do 2-3 full rinses, since even trace amounts of detergent can impact the effectiveness of the vaccine. Check the pH of the water coming through the system after you clean. A reading greater than 7.5 is considered too high for the vaccines, while anything below 6.0 is too low. In order to make sure that your chickens actually drink the vaccinated water, you should stop running water to them for a short period prior to vaccine administration. Pause water flow for 30 to 60 minutes in warm climates, and for 60 to 90 minutes in cooler climates. Stabilize the water by placing 500 grams of skim milk powder for every 200 liters (52.8 US gal) of water. You can also use a chlorine neutralizer like Cevamune® by adding one tablet for every 100 liters (26.4 US gal). The water should be stabilized 20-30 minutes prior to adding the vaccine. Fill a clean bucket with 2 liters (0.5 US gal) of the neutralized water, and submerge your vaccine bottle in the bucket. Once the bottle is completely...

Calculate the amount of water  you will need to prepare. Clean your watering system. Stop running the water prior to vaccinating your chickens. Stabilize the water using skim milk powder or a chlorine neutralizer. Prepare the vaccine in a clean bucket. Start running the water to your chickens.


Your values are basic standards you hold dear that influence your decisions, behaviors, and attitudes. These are beliefs or principles that you will stand for or fight for: family, equality, justice, peace, gratitude, dependability, fairness, financial stability, integrity, etc. If you don't know your core values, you can't verify whether you are making choices that align with them. You can discover your core values by:  Thinking of two people you admire. What traits do you admire in these people? Thinking of a time when you felt really proud. What happened? Did you help someone? Achieve a goal? Stand up for your rights or those of someone else? Thinking about what issues you are most passionate about in your community or the world. These may include, but are not limited to government, the environment, education, feminism, crime, etc. Considering what three items you would save if your house were on fire (assuming all the living beings were already safe). Why would you save these three things? As F. Scott Fitzgerald famously puts it, "I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." If you were to pass away today, do you think you have left behind the legacy you hoped for? When we're children we often have lofty dreams for ourselves. As we get older, and more influenced by society, we alter those dreams. Go back to a time when you had an undeniable dream to do something, a dream you shut out because it wasn't the right time or your money wasn't sufficient. Write down how you would spend your day if you didn't have to consider your financial status. How would you live your life? We often miss out on amazing opportunities or don't take chances because we worry that we will fall flat on our faces. Self-doubt can define your whole life, if you don't work to overcome it. Sadly, it can also strongly impact the amount of "what if's" you have as you age. Here are a few ways to overcome your fear of failure, if you think it's holding you back from...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Probe deeper to learn your core values. Question whether or not you are living a life you are proud of. Ask yourself what you would love to do if money wasn't an issue. Determine how your life would be if you weren't afraid of failing. Ask others their interpretations of you as a person.


Your vet can provide you with a copy of your pet’s health certificate stating the pet is free from infectious disease and healthy enough to travel. The certificate should confirm that your pet has received his rabies vaccine and has been treated for tapeworm, if applicable. Your pet should travel within 10 days of the certificate being issued. The certificate is valid for four months if your pet does any more travelling within the UK. The certificate will be reviewed and stamped by an official when your pet first enters the UK. Many vets can provide a pet passport for your pet. If your vet does not have access to a pet passport, ask her to refer you to a vet nearby that does give out pet passports or contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency of the UK here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/animal-and-plant-health-agency/about/access-and-opening. You should check that your vet has filled out the following information in the passport:  The details of ownership, including the full owner name(s). A full description of the animal. Any identifications of the animal, such as the microchip information. Confirmation of vaccination against rabies, as well as rabies blood tests. Confirmation of tapeworm treatment, if applicable. Before your pet can enter the UK, you will need to confirm that your pet is not coming into the UK for commercial purposes. You can fill out the declaration form at home and bring it with you when you are arranging for the shipment of your pet to the UK. A blank UK declaration form for pets can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/393123/declaration-non-commercial-movement.pdf.

Your vet may recommend putting a device to put in your dog’s mouth to realign the abnormally positioned teeth. A popular orthodontic device for dogs is the inclined plane, also known as a bite plate. It is commonly recommended when the lower canine teeth point straight up into the mouth, rather than being angled slightly outward (‘base narrow canine teeth’). Vets recommend placing an inclined plate in a dog’s mouth between 7 and 9 months of age. It fits over a dog’s upper teeth and works by directing the lower canines into their proper positions. Your vet will anesthetize your dog to make the acrylic composite (basic shape) of your dog’s upper teeth to make the inclined plane. They will clean the teeth first to make sure the composite is accurate. Your vet may make what’s called a telescoping inclined plane so it does not stop your dog’s jaw from growing. Just like human bite plates, canine inclined planes need to be kept clean. Your vet may recommend sedating or anesthetizing your dog to clean its inclined plane. If necessary, your vet will make adjustments to the inclined plane, since your dog could have dislodged it when biting down on something hard. If you regularly brush your dog’s teeth, it may be a little more challenging to do so with the inclined plane. Talk to your vet about how to brush your dog’s teeth while the inclined plane is in place. The inclined plane will not stay in your dog’s mouth throughout your dog’s life. Your vet will remove the inclined plane when your dog’s teeth are in proper alignment. Once your dog’s teeth are properly aligned, the inclined plane could be used as a retainer for several months to maintain the proper alignment. Talk to your vet about this option.

Talk to your vet about orthodontic devices. Allow your vet to make an inclined plane for your dog. Keep the inclined plane clean. Let your vet remove the inclined plane. Use the inclined plane as a retainer.


Your veterinarian can help you decide what to feed your dog. This can be simply reducing the amount of your dog's current food or changing it to a weight loss diet.  There are prescription diets available to help your dog lose weight along with diets to help them keep it off once they have reached their ideal weight. These diets are lower in calories and contain higher amounts of fiber to make your dog feel full while taking in fewer calories. These diets are typically more expensive than regular foods and are usually reserved for cases where extreme weight loss is needed or where simply reducing the amount of a regular food isn't working. There is now a new category of weight loss diets available, which work by using "genomics" or using science to switch on genes concerned with burning calories. Hills Metabolic diet is the only variety currently on the market. This allows you to easily spot any changes in appetite, which can indicate other issues. This is even more important when trying to get your dog to lose weight. You need to know exactly what and how much your dog is eating in order to be able to gauge how effective your plan is and to make any needed adjustments. If you have other dog's in the house you may need to keep your pups separated during feeding time. Make sure that each dog only gets its own food by placing them in separate rooms with their meals until all food it consumed. You can use a measuring cup, but weighing each day’s amount is a more accurate way to be sure you are feeding the right amount. You can make a chart or download one from the Internet. Be sure to also include a weekly weight for your dog. Take it with you when you visit your vet to best evaluate your progress. Most commercial treats for dogs are very high in calories, similar to the candy that people eat. While there are reduced calorie commercial treats, you can almost eliminate your dog's treat calories by replacing them with much healthier snacks.  Examples of healthier snacks that are safe for dogs include carrots,...

Feed your dog a specialized diet for weight loss. Measure out your dog's food for each feeding. Keep a daily record of how much you're feeding your dog, including treats, and the amount of exercise they are getting. Reduce, or eliminate, unhealthy treats. Exercise your dog more often. Make sure your dog gets mental stimulation.


Your veterinarian will recommend a specific treatment plan for your household. You will need to treat all of your animals, including indoor and outdoor cats.  Common options for killing fleas include a monthly treatment applied to the back of the dog’s neck, as well as shampoos, sprays, and powders. It’s important to create a treatment plan that is specific to your dog and its environment, because using certain products in combination with each other can be toxic to your pet. Store-bought flea sprays and powders can be an effective way to kill fleas on your dog, in your dog's bedding, and throughout your home. You may also be able to discourage fleas from settling on your dog by dipping your dog's brush in lemon juice before you comb its fur. You will need to vacuum and wash all of your carpets, rugs, bedding, and upholstery to get rid of fleas and their eggs. To prevent fleas from returning, wash your dog’s bedding at least once a week. These chemicals are extremely dangerous, so they should only be used if you can’t get rid of the fleas any other way.  Some flea killers come in the form of aerosol sprays, while bug bombs or foggers release on their own once you have activated them. This gives you time to leave the area so you’re not exposed to the chemicals. Wear a face mask to protect yourself while you’re using these chemicals, or have a professional exterminator come to your home. You will need to temporarily evacuate your home during this process, so have a plan for what you will do with your dog and other animals. This evacuation is usually about 3-6 hours, but be sure to read the label carefully to be sure. Mowing the grass will help prevent fleas from jumping onto your dog when it spends time outdoors. Fleas prefer dark places. Mowing the grass exposes them to sunlight, which will help discourage them from infesting your yard.

Contact your veterinarian if your dog has fleas. Try store-bought or natural remedies to kill fleas. Clean your house thoroughly. Spray or fog your home with flea-killer to get rid of severe infestations. Mow the grass in your yard once a week to keep the grass short.


Your visit to the hospital or doctor's office will begin with a careful history of your symptoms, with special attention to the timing and characteristics of your pain and associated symptoms. You will also need to give a careful inventory of your risk factors (CVRF). You will be hooked up to cardiac monitors by the nursing staff for continuous heart monitoring. The electrocardiogram (EKG) will look for changes consistent with your heart not getting enough blood.  Labs will be drawn, including “cardiac enzymes” that the heart puts out when there is damage; these are called Troponin, and CPK-MB. You will likely receive a chest X-ray to look for heart enlargement or fluid in the lungs from heart failure, The cardiac enzymes are drawn three times, once every eight hours, to be most accurate If any of these tests come back abnormal you will be admitted. If your EKG shows elevation of certain segments, you will consult with a cardiologist about having an emergent cardiac catheterization, called angioplasty, to restore blood flow in the heart.  A cardiac catheterization involves gaining access to your femoral artery and feeding a wire with dye to take pictures of your coronary arteries, looking for blockages. The number of arteries involved, which arteries are involved, and the precise location of blockages will determine management. Typically lesions of greater than 70% blockage are opened with a balloon catheter and stented. Lesions that are between 50-70% blocked are considered intermediate and until recently were not opened up, but relegated to medical therapy alone. Bypass surgery is preferred if you have disease of the left main artery or more than two arteries with blockages. Surgery is scheduled and you will likely await surgery in the coronary care unit (CCU).  Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) involves taking the veins from your leg and harvesting them for transfer to literally “bypass” the blockages on your heart arteries. While this surgery occurs, you are taken into a hypothermic state and...

Your vocal cords are muscles that need time to warm up so they don't get overstrained. Start by singing scales slowly for about 10 or 15 minutes. When your vocal cords feel warmed up and ready to go, you can launch into singing your practice songs. You can also sing scales and songs on lip trills to help warm up your voice. This will help engage your breath support while keeping your vocal cords relaxed. Check out how Celine Dion warms up her voice here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIqUX2QbLGw Choose songs that easily falls into your range, so you'll give yourself the best chance of singing well and finding the great singing voice that's been hiding within you for all this time.  Sing along with the recordings of the songs you pick until you feel comfortable with the songs. Practice singing the songs without the recording. You can play the instrumental part, but don't play the vocals. Try songs in a range of genres. You might love hip hop best, but you could discover that you're better at singing jazz or country songs. Give all types of music a chance. If you love a song but can't sing it in the key it was written in, use an app like AnyTune to change the key while maintaining the tempo. Or, use the app to slow down the tempo while you're learning difficult passages. Use a tape recorder or another recording device to record yourself singing after you've warmed up and practiced. Take note of things you might need to work on as well as what sounded good. Sometimes it's difficult to tell where we need improvement without feedback from others. Sing for your family members or friends, and ask them for honest reactions to your voice.  Remember to warm up before performing. Sing in a big, open room with high ceilings; your voice will sound better than it would in a low-ceilinged room with carpet. After you've gotten some feedback, take it to heart next time you practice singing. Karaoke clubs are a great place to practice singing in front of other people.

Warm up first. Pick the right songs. Record yourself singing. Perform for other people.


Your voice will be its most natural and powerful when it comes from the area just behind and around your nose. In order to practice speaking from this place, hum mmm-hmm, as if you were responding to a question affirmatively. Feel the vibration in your face as you hum. This is where you should focus on speaking from. Breathing from your diaphragm as opposed to your chest will make your voice both more powerful and deeper. When you breathe, your stomach should rise, and your chest and shoulders should remain still. These are full, diaphragm breaths. You want your breath to come from your diaphragm, and go out through the part of your face you identified in step one. Practice this often, saying anything you like, but focusing on these two parts of your body. You will notice that you can get more power in your voice with less vocal strain, resulting in a louder, deeper voice. At first, breathing this way will feel unnatural and you'll probably switch back to your normal way of breathing and speaking often. But if you practice for a couple of weeks, as often as you can remember, eventually it will become second nature. Learning to breathe from your diaphragm is one of the easiest ways to naturally improve your voice.

Find where you should be speaking from. Learn how to breathe from your diaphragm. Speak from the diaphragm. Keep practicing.


Your voodoo doll needs to represent an individual person, so while you’re making yours, you need to picture them in your mind. Voodoo depends on a connection between the visible world that we live in and the invisible world where spirits reside. Focus on the person you want your doll to represent to channel their spirit from the invisible realm. A voodoo doll needs to represent a specific person, and an easy way to do that is to attach a picture of that person to a doll in the shape of the human figure. Collect or print out a picture of the person that you want your voodoo doll to represent and cut out their figure. If you don’t have a picture of the person, you can use a personal item that you collect from them, like a lock of hair or a piece of their clothing. You’ll need enough fabric to fit the same size and shape of the cut-out photograph. You can use felt, cotton, or any other sort of fabric to make your doll. Take a pair of scissors and cut the fabric to match the shape of the photograph. Use natural fibers like cotton, wool, or hemp as your material for a more authentic feeling voodoo doll. Take the cut-out picture and sew it to a piece of fabric cut in the shape of the photo, leaving an opening at the bottom of the figure. Fill the doll with stuffing by adding it through the opening. Once the doll is fully stuffed, sew the opening at the bottom closed. You can use any material you like to stuff your doll, but for a more authentic voodoo doll, use natural materials like moss or leaves. After you’ve added the personal effects of the person to the doll, their energy pattern is imprinted and fused with the doll. Close your eyes and set an intention with the doll. Whether you intend to harm the other person or make them love you, hold the doll and channel all of your energy into your intention. Focus on one of the Loa, or voodoo deities, and ask them to help make sure that the doll embodies the person you intend it to. Ask the Loa to help you accomplish your goal with the doll, be it good or evil.  You...

Focus your mind on a specific person. Find a photograph of your chosen person and cut it out. Cut some fabric to fit the photograph. Sew the photograph to the fabric and fill it with stuffing. Visualize the purpose for your voodoo doll. Call upon one of the Loa to help ensure that the spell works. Baptize the voodoo doll and give it a name.


Your work area should include a sink that can be washed and rinsed out with dish soap and water, usually either a kitchen or laundry-room sink. To prevent splattered dye from staining the surrounding countertop, lay down several layers of paper towels or newspapers. Fabric dye leaves strong stains that could remain on your skin for several days. Prevent these stains by wearing thick rubber gloves that reach past your wrists. Check the gloves frequently for holes or tears, and replace them if necessary. If you do get dye on your skin, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Then, mix a small amount of baking soda with a bit of water to make a paste. Apply the paste to your skin and scrub to remove dye. Your fabric needs sufficient time in the dye for the colors to set. The longer you allow the material to remain in the dye, the easier it will be to remove excess dye while still leaving behind vibrant colors and patterns. If you can, leave the item in the dye overnight. Leaving your item securely tied or rubber-banded, run it under cold water. Allow the loose dye to rinse from the material until the water runs clear. This may only take a few minutes, but rinsing times vary. Be prepared to hold the fabric under cold water for 20-30 minutes. Now that you’ve rinsed out the first portion of the loose dye, it’s time to remove the strings or rubber bands that formed your pattern. Use scissors to cut through these ties and gently unfold the material. Take a minute to enjoy seeing your fabric for the first time! Run your item under the warmer water until this, too, runs clear. Be sure the water isn’t so hot that it burns your hands.Your rinse time will vary under the hot water as well. Generally expect to rinse for at least five minutes and up to about twenty. To prevent your fabric from staining your countertops while you prepare your washing machine, set out a layer of plastic wrap large enough to lay your material flat on top of it. For added protection, place the plastic wrap on top of the paper towels or...
