Because back pain can have so many different causes, it is important to talk with your doctor before starting any exercise or treatment regimen. This is particularly important if you have suffered a major injury like a fall or a car crash. Some injuries or causes of back pain must be treated with rehabilitation therapy and medication. It is important to let your regular doctor know about any treatments and steps you are taking to relieve your back pain. This will ensure that your doctor is able to give you the most effective care. If your back pain is not the result of a serious injury, returning to normal movement after a few days will help you recover from short-term back pain faster. Unless recommended by your doctor, try to avoid more than 3 days of bed rest. Always consult with your doctor before returning to your normal activities. If you have serious injuries or trauma, trying to “tough it out” could result in re-injury or further trauma. Low-impact aerobic exercises, such as swimming, walking, and biking, can relieve chronic back pain. Exercise may aggravate acute back pain, however, so do not begin an exercise regimen immediately. Usually, it is safe to begin an exercise program after 4-8 weeks.  Do not put extra pressure or strain on your back muscles immediately. Exercises that can strain your lower back include leg curls on exercise machines, straight-leg sit ups, and toe touches. Gradually strengthen and tone your muscles, and don’t try too much at once. When possible, work with a professional to create a personalized exercise plan. Your doctor, physical therapist, personal trainer, or exercise physiologist can help you figure out what exercises are right for you. Improving your body’s  flexibility may help reduce pain. Stretching exercises and yoga have been shown to reduce back pain and keep it from recurring. Below are a few exercises to try.  Lie on your back with your legs together. Bend your knees. Lay your arms to your sides. Roll your knees to one side of your body, keeping your arms at...

Because caffeine is one of the most popular substances in the world, it's one of the most common causes of sleep difficulties. Caffeine's stimulant effects can make it difficult to fall asleep when it's bedtime, even if you'd normally tired. For this reason, it's best to avoid any caffeine the day before you're trying to sleep all day. This includes coffee and tea, plus caffeinated gum and snacks. If you have to have coffee the day before to get through something important, try not to have any after noon to ensure your body has plenty of time to process it before bed. It takes about six hours for the body to get rid of half of a dose of caffeine. Alcohol can make you drowsy in the short term, but it's a bad idea if you're aiming for healthy, restful sleep. Sleeping while drunk forces your body straight into deep sleep. As the alcohol wears off, you may drift back into "light" sleep, which is easy to wake up from. This is why it's common to wake up after a few hours when you sleep while drunk. If you do have to drink, try to leave your body about an hour per drink or shot to process the alcohol before you go to sleep. On top of this, alcohol is a diuretic (something that encourages urination), so it can force you to wake up to go to the bathroom. It can also leave you with a dry mouth and nausea the morning after, further preventing you from getting back to sleep. As mentioned above, sleeping all day is not something the body will be used to. Laying in bed for excessive lengths of time can cause aching and stiffness. If these symptoms don't go away with light stretching, abandon your mission. Sleeping all day isn't worth being miserable. In addition, even a single day of bed rest can cause significant health problems, like blood clots, bed sores, and nausea. Though these are rare in young, healthy people, they can become a real risk in older individuals. For best results, break up your day of rest with a few periods of activity spent up and walking around. Spending the entire day in bed is never something...

Avoid caffeine. Don't drink alcohol the day before. Don't force yourself to stay in bed if it's uncomfortable. Don't make sleeping all day a habit.


Because castor oil is relatively inexpensive and has a long shelf life, some people like to use it as a carrier oil. Since it is somewhat sticky you may not want to use it for all purposes. It’s great for making skin treatments, however. The exact amount depends on how you want to use the oil. To make a massage oil or moisturizer, try adding 40-60 drops of the essential oil to 4 ounces of castor oil.  If you have a large bottle of castor oil, measure some out into a separate bottle, then add the essential oil to that. If you’re using the oil for aromatherapy or other everyday uses, you may want to increase the amount of essential oil you add to the carrier. Check the essential oil bottle’s label for recommendations. Use a wooden skewer, spoon, or another tool to stir the oils together. Mix thoroughly so that everything is evenly blended. Once you’re done, the oil is ready to use. You can store the oil in a glass bottle, preferably a dark colored or opaque one, with a tightly fitting lid. Castor oil can be stored for up to 1 year if kept in a cool, dry place.

Gather castor oil and your favorite essential oils. Add the essential oil to the castor oil. Mix and use the oil.


Because coffee grounds are granular, relatively pH-neutral, and rich in nitrogen, they make a great fertilizer for houseplants and garden plants. You can save coffee grounds (while discarding the filters) in a small container for use as a fertilizer. When you are ready to use the coffee grounds, simply sprinkle them over your plant's soil or work them into the soil with your fingers. Adding spent coffee grounds directly to a plant's soil not only provides nitrogen to the plant, but also improves the water retention ability of the soil.

Save the coffee grounds for fertilizing your plants. Apply the coffee grounds to your plants.


Because dialogue involves two or more speakers, readers need something that lets them know where one character’s speech ends and another’s begins. Indenting a new paragraph every time a new character begins speaking provides a visual cue to help readers follow the dialogue.  Even if a speaker only utters half a syllable before they’re interrupted by someone else, that half-syllable still gets its own indented paragraph. In English, dialogue is read from the left side of the page to the right, so the first thing readers notice when looking at a block of text is the white space on the left margin. American writers generally use a set of double quotation marks (“ “) around all of the words that are spoken by a character, as seen in this example: Beth was walking down the street when she saw her friend Shao. "Hey there!" she said as she waved.  A single set of quotation marks can include multiple sentences, as long as they are spoken in the same portion of dialogue. For example: Evgeny argued, "But Laura didn’t have to finish her dinner! You always give her special treatment!" When a character quotes someone else, use double-quotes around what your character says, then single-quotes around the speech they’re quoting. For example: Evgeny argued, “But you never yell ‘Finish your dinner’ at Laura!” The reversal of roles for the single and double-quotation mark is common outside of American writing. Many European and Asian languages use angle brackets (<< >>) to mark dialogue instead. The dialogue tag (also called the signal phrase) is the part of the narration that makes clear which character is speaking. For example, in the following sentence, Evgeny argued is the dialogue tag: Evgeny argued, “But Laura didn’t have to finish her dinner!”  Use a comma to separate the dialogue tag from the dialogue. If the dialogue tag precedes the dialogue, the comma appears before the opening quotation mark: Evgeny argued, “But Laura didn’t have to finish her dinner!” If the dialogue tag comes after the dialogue, the comma appears...

Because dyslexia, like other learning disorders, is an invisible disability, you may not know whether your co-workers, peers, supervisors or employees are dyslexic. Best practice encourages the use of accessible design at all times. Justified text is difficult to read for many dyslexic adults, as it creates uneven spaces between letters and words. Use left-aligned text rather than justified text for better accessibility. Because dyslexia affects everyone in different ways, your best information will come from the dyslexic person themself. For some people, reading maps is their most difficult challenge; for others, any problem requiring shifting between numbers and words is hard.  Don’t assume that you know what’s best for the dyslexic adult. The person may not want or need your help. Make sure you're talking to the person privately and discreetly, and respect the confidentiality of all that is said. Making a list of all the possible accommodations ahead of time allows the dyslexic person to know what you’re willing and able to do to support them in the workplace or classroom. They can then select the options that are best for their own learning style. Typical accommodations that may help include:  Preferential seating (e.g., sitting where she can see the board and teacher’s face) Timed Extensions Text modifications (e.g., having someone read the test questions aloud to her) Pre-highlighted textbooks Computer-aided instruction Document conversion, such as audio support for printed materials Having a note taker, lab or library assistant Individual accommodations not listed above. In order to receive official accommodations through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the workplace or university setting, for example, the dyslexic person must have had a recent confirmation of disability. However, an official confirmation of disability can be expensive and time-consuming. If you’re trying to help a dyslexic adult, be aware that there are many modifications that you can make on your own. If they were not...

Present written information in an accessible format. Ask the person with dyslexia what they need. Provide a list of possible accommodations. Recognize that the dyslexic adult may be unaware of their diagnosis. Protect the privacy of a person’s diagnosis.


Because eating a hot dog requires both hands, you need the space around you to be clear. Move your drink and condiment bottles out of the way so you can't knock them over with a stray elbow, and make sure you have lots of space in front and beside you for your arms. Pick up the hot dog around the middle by gently squeezing the two halves of the bun together around the meat. Use one hand to cup the bottom of the bun and the other to gently pinch the bun around the meat at the back of the hot dog. This will prevent the meat from sliding out the back as you eat. The top of the bun isn't enclosed, so you want to hold the hot dog so the meat and condiments are facing upward. If you tip the hot dog from side to side, all the condiments and sauces might fall off. The trick with eating a hot dog is getting a bit of everything at once, including meat, bun, and condiments. Sometimes, holding the hot dog at a slight upward or downward angle can help with this. Just don’t tip it too much, otherwise you'll lose your condiments. Bring the hot dog to your mouth, open your mouth wide around the bun, and bite down. Don’t pull your mouth away until you're certain that you’ve bitten clean through the meat, otherwise you'll drag the whole sausage away with your first bite. Chew slowly and well before swallowing, and then take another bite. Hot dogs are eaten with the hands and not utensils, so it’s not uncommon for food to end up on your hands and face. Paper or cloth napkins can be used to wipe up spills, clean your hands, and wipe food from your face as you eat. As long as you're not in a formal setting, it’s generally also acceptable to lick your hands to clean off sauces and condiments when you're eating hot dogs. You can eat hot dogs on their own as a meal or snack, but you can also serve them with side dishes and snacks. Some of the most popular sides for hot dogs include:  Potato chips French fries Onion rings Potato salad Corn on the cob Green salad

Clear the area in front of you. Hold the hot dog with both hands. Hold the hot dog level. Angle the dog slightly to get the best bite. Eat the hot dog in small bites. Have a few napkins handy. Serve your favorite snacks on the side.


Because gluten is contained in many different foods, there is a lot to learn if you want to avoid it.  Don't confuse "wheat-free" with "gluten-free". A product labelled "wheat-free" may contain gluten in the form of grains such as rye, barley and oats, each of which contain gluten. In addition, a gluten-free product may contain proteins not suitable for someone who is allergic to wheat. Understand what it means to be "gluten-free". There is no consistent definition of what "gluten-free" means. There is, however, an international standard for "gluten-free" products produced from cereals containing gluten. This is the Codex Alimentarius, and it permits products to be called "gluten-free" if there are less than 200 parts-per-million of gluten in the finished product. Many manufacturers follow this standard. A new standard has been proposed for gluten-free products made from foods that do not naturally contain gluten. This would allow a product to be called "gluten-free" if there are less than 20 parts-per-million of gluten in the finished product. It isn't always possible to make products absolutely free of gluten, because tiny amounts of food containing gluten could get into these products when they are being made or transported. However, 20 parts-per-million is a very low level. Read as much as you can about different foods. Processed foods can be a problem when it comes to hidden gluten. Even after many years of being gluten-free, you may still be discovering new products that contain gluten. Examples of such sources include some glucose syrups, smoked foods, ice cream and tomato ketchup.  Read the packaging. Since November 2005, pre-packaged foods sold in the EU are required to show clearly on the label if they (or any of their ingredients) contain sources of gluten. This applies even if the sources have been specially treated to remove gluten. Bear in mind that this EU regulation applies only to cereals and that other foods containing gluten--such as some glucose syrups--needn't be identified as gluten...

Educate yourself. Be sure it's gluten-free. Know that other household items and medications may also contain gluten. Find other gluten-sensitive people. Be prepared. Don't assume you will never again eat some of your favorite foods. Make sure family and friends understand how important it is that you completely avoid gluten. Focus on what you can eat.


Because huskies are so stubborn, it is important to set boundaries right away. They need to learn that you are in charge.  Do not let your puppy sleep in your bed, as this creates confusion about its role in the family. You may make an occasional exception when the dog gets older.  Have everyone in the household feed the dog a handful of kibble. This teaches your husky that everyone in the house can control its access to food.  Be consistent with all rules you set. If you are not, the dog will learn that it can sometimes get what it wants if it tries hard enough. Make sure everyone else in the house on the same page.  Be patient. Your dog can be trained if you are firm and consistent. Huskies often enjoy training tasks because they are work dogs. your puppy. Like any new puppy, your Siberian husky will have to be housebroken. There are three main components to potty training a dog:  Monitoring your puppy. Keep a close eye on your puppy when it is inside to prevent accidents. This is easiest if you confine the dog to a small part of your home. If you catch your dog in the act of urinating or defecating inside, make a loud noise and say "no!" Then, promptly take the dog outside.  Frequent trips outside. A puppy will need to go to the bathroom more often than an adult dog. To minimize the risk of indoor accidents, take the puppy out as often as you can, and on a regular schedule.  Rewarding the desired behavior. When your dog goes to the bathroom outside, praise the dog and give it a reward in the form of a small treat. This will help it understand where it should do its business, and reinforce the behavior. Using a clicker can help your dog learn this faster (see below). An important part of potty training your dog is crate training. This is when you teach your puppy to be content spending time in its crate. Dogs will not want to soil their own space.  For huskies, this is also a good way to minimize damage to your home when you can't be there.  When you can't keep an eye on your puppy, put it in its crate with...

Because inhalant abuse has many harmful effects on the body and brain, many researchers of inhalant abuse suggest that the condition should be treated as a substance use disorder as well as a possible mental health diagnosis. Experts recommend treatment that includes a medical exam to investigate the extent of damage to the nervous system, kidney, liver, heart, and lungs. The doctor will also look for signs of lead poisoning, malnutrition, and signs of reduced intellectual functioning. Treatment facilities such as residential drug treatment are recommended, but it is noted that the typical stay of 28 days to a month is probably not sufficient for inhalant abuse. Researchers suggest that inhalant abuse be treated with a variety of modalities including art therapy, family therapy, activity therapy, and music therapy.   If a person has become dependent on inhalants, he will need to seek detox treatment, which can usually take 14 to 28 days for inhalants. This is because the chemicals are often deposited into fat stores, meaning it takes longer for them to leave the body. If inhalant abuse is less serious or has not yet become chronic, outpatient treatment and evaluation is beneficial to understand recommendations for therapy or inpatient treatment.  Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors (also known as substance abuse counselors) are equipped to evaluate and treat a variety of substance abuse disorders. If a loved one is in crisis or shows signs of severe intoxication, such as non-responsiveness, slow or shallow breathing, or has become unconscious, call 911 immediately.  He may be going into shock, suffering from a larger issue related to the inhalant abuse, or dropping into sudden sniffing death.

Because international law jobs are scarce, you need to be admitted into the highest-ranked law school that you can. Get the most recent rankings from U.S. News & World Report. The rankings will include the median LSAT and GPA of the first-year student body.  If you can't distinguish the differences in schools, then you should meet with your school's pre-law advisor who can help you distinguish between law schools with national (and international) reach and those schools with more regional name recognition. To get international law jobs, you should strive to attend a school with a national reputation. As you compare law schools, you should always have costs in the forefront of your mind. You might assume that public schools are always cheaper than private schools, but that is not always the case. The tuition for out-of-state law students is often comparable to the tuition of a private school. If you want to move to a state and hope to qualify as an in-state resident, contact the law school's admissions office for information. Some law schools have international human rights clinics or their equivalent.  In these clinics, students work under the supervision of a faculty member to provide legal services to foreign nationals or to those persecuted in foreign nations. Also, students can do research and work on policy proposals affecting international relations. At Northwestern University Law School's Center for International Human Rights, students have visited foreign countries such as Malawi, Rwanda, and Uganda to interview prisoners and work on freeing them. Also, students participate in briefing cases brought under the Alien Tort Statute or in international criminal courts. As you narrow your list of schools, you should compare them according to relevant criteria:   Curriculum. The basic curriculum for first year students is pretty much the same at any law school, but after the first year, the classes available might be very different. Look for a curriculum with electives in international comparative law and in...

Because it is difficult to get seasoning to stick to frozen chicken skin, it may be easier to season your drumsticks before freezing them. Before you put them in the freezer, coat your drumsticks with your desired seasoning or rub. This will freeze the seasoning to the skin and make it easier to pull the legs from the freezer and toss them in the oven when you are ready to cook. This is a great way to season any individual pieces of chicken before you freeze them. Heat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). While the oven warms, remove your drumsticks from the freezer and place them on a tray. For a side, you may also want to add some chopped vegetables like carrots and onions or a few sliced potatoes to the tray. Place the tray in the oven and cook the drumsticks for about 50 to 60 minutes. Once the time is up, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick to make sure that it is cooked. If the temperature is below 165°F (74°C) or if there is any red or pink meat, put the breasts back in the oven and let them cook until they are white and the juices run clear. When you are taking the temperature of the drumsticks, try not to touch the bone with your thermometer. This will give you an inaccurate temperature.

Season the legs before freezing. Preheat the oven. Cook the drumsticks.


Because it is such a robust leaf, kale does well with lots of toppings. Pecorino Romano and shaved Parmesan are popular on kale salads. Aged cheddar also works, or for a salad with more of a Greek feel, try feta. Toasted almonds are delicious along with Parmesan and dates or raisins. Cashew pieces or walnuts can add rich flavor. Sunflower seeds are delicious in summer salads. Dried cranberries, raisins, cherries, or dates add welcome sweetness. Particularly in summer, also try fresh fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or mango. Carrots, bell peppers or cucumber are delicious, as are thinly sliced Brussels sprouts. Red onions or sweet white onions will also add a little kick to your salad. You can top your salad with a poached or boiled egg, grilled meat, tofu, or tempeh. Kale is a great platform for experimenting with in-season ingredients. For example, try roasted or boiled beets in the winter, or sliced apples in the fall.

Don’t be afraid to pile the toppings on. Try a salty cheese. Add nuts or seeds for crunch and flavor. Fresh and dried fruits pair particularly well with vinaigrettes. Add thinly sliced vegetables. Add protein for a more complete meal. Use local or in-season ingredients.


Because it's not possible to rip from Spotify short of manually recording as songs play, the easiest way to rip songs is to convert your Spotify playlist into a YouTube playlist and then download the music from there.  Open the Spotify website and log in with your account. Create a new playlist and label it something like "YouTube" or "Convert" (so you can easily recognize it). Add all of the music that you want to rip to the playlist. You may have difficulty matching obscure tracks if the song is not on YouTube, but most songs should match without issue. Soundiiz is a service that allows you to transfer your playlists from one music streaming service to another. You'll need to create a free account to use the playlist converter. You can use one of the supported social media services to create an account quickly, or you can enter your email and create a password to make a traditional account. Either method is fine. You'll see this in the menu on the left.  Soundiiz cannot see your Spotify login information. Your Spotify account is now linked to Soundiiz. Connecting to YouTube will allow Soundiiz to send the new playlist to your YouTube channel.

Because lemons don't really ripen once they are picked, it's best to pick the right lemon from the start. This section will give you a few tips on what to look for when selecting lemons. Once you know what to look for, you will be less-likely to choose and be stuck with an under-ripe lemon. Keep in mind, however, that lemons ripen from the inside. This means that the lemon's skin will be the last part to ripen. You can still have a lemon that is ripe and juicy on the inside, and greenish on the outside. Myer lemons will have a deeper yellow color; some might be more orange. This means that the lemon is filled with a lot of juice. Most lemons will be between 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) long. The ideal lemon should be firm, yet somewhat tender. A lemon that is too hard will be either under-ripe or shriveled inside. Myer lemons have a thinner skin than regular lemons. They are ripe when they are soft. If you can push the skin of the lemon in more than ½ inch (1.27 centimeters) it may be over-ripe. Lemons that have too much of a bumpy texture will be under-ripe or not juicy enough. Another thing to look for is a waxy shine on the surface of the lemon. Watch out for wrinkling. This is a sign your lemon is overripe. If you are harvesting lemons from a tree, you might want to put on a pair of gardening gloves; lemon trees often have thorns that can scratch you if you are not careful. Find a ripe fruit and grasp it in your hand. Gently twist it. The lemon should come off easily If it doesn't come off easily, then it probably is not ripe yet. If you are looking to harvest a bunch of lemons, but aren't sure whether or not they are ripe, you can always cut one in half and taste it. Most lemons will have a sour, but not bitter, taste to them. Meyer lemons, however, will be a little more sweet and less sour. Use a refractometer if you don’t want to test by taste, sight, or touch. Squeeze a drop of juice from the lemon onto the refractometer and look at the Brix scale. Pick lemons that have a sucrose level...

Look for lemons that have a smooth or glossy texture. Know how to pick lemons off of trees. Taste the lemon to test whether or not it is truly ripe.


Because many cases of GN are caused by underlying conditions, your treatment plan may include treating those conditions. This treatment plan will vary, depending on what conditions are causing your kidney disease. Talk to your doctor about your condition, and understand how it may impact your kidney health. Medications like corticosteroids can help decrease immune system responses like inflammation, which is a common problem for people with kidney diseases and disorders; however, corticosteroid use carries the risk of significant side effects, including increased appetite/weight gain, sudden and significant mood swings, delayed healing of injuries, weakened bones, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Chronic kidney diseases often affect the body's ability to regulate its blood pressure. Because of this, many treatment plans include taking blood pressure medication. In addition to regulating the body's blood pressure, these medications can also reduce the amount of protein released through your urine, which may help you manage the symptoms of the disease.  Common blood pressure medications prescribed to treat kidney diseases like GN include benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), and enalapril (Vasotec).  Some doctors may also prescribe angiotensin II receptor blockers like losartan (Cozaar) and valsartan (Diovan) to achieve similar results. Diuretics like water pills can help reduce water retention. Decreasing water retention will help manage swelling in the body and can increase your kidneys' ability to function by increasing water output. Common water pills prescribed for kidney diseases include furosemide (Lasix) and spironolactone (Aldactone). Blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants, reduce your blood's ability to form clots, which may help prevent blood clots in your body (specifically the kidneys). This may help manage the symptoms of kidney disease and improve your kidneys' ability to function. Common anticoagulants prescribed to treat kidney diseases include heparin and warfarin (Coumadin).

Because many people may be planning graduation parties around the same time of year, the logistics of choosing a time for your party can be difficult.  Consider having your party a few weeks after graduation, as many people choose to take trips or go on vacation directly after graduation day. Have your party during June or July, as many of your friends will start to leave in August and move into college campuses. Plan to have your party on a weekend day between 12p.m. and 6p.m., as this is when most of your guests will be able to come. When picking the date for your party, don’t forget to take into account large events of other family members you plan to invite. For example, if someone you know has a wedding in the summer, be sure to schedule your party during a different weekend. This can be a great way to save money and create a fun, lively atmosphere. Ask a few of your good friends if they’d like to combine their graduation party with yours.  Combined parties work well for high school graduations, as all graduates have achieved the same goal and have graduated at the same time. Keep in mind, however, that you may not be able to invite as many extended family members to a combined graduation party. Think about the approximate number of people you’d like to invite to your party. You want to make sure that you have enough space to host all of your guests.  Many people choose to host graduation parties at their homes. You can have an indoor party or set up tables and chairs outside for a festive summer bash. This is the least expensive option, so take into account how much money you’re willing to spend on a party. If you don’t want to have your party at someone’s house, consider public party venues like restaurants, hotels, country clubs, beaches, pools, campgrounds, or parks. Include all the people who have shaped your high school experience. You want to invite your friends, some of your extended family, and teachers or coaches who you really appreciate.  Decide whether you want to send out paper invitations...

Because math is the language of astrophysics, you will need to start honing your math skills in high school. Take advanced classes like calculus AB and BC, computer science A and principles, and statistics classes.   To qualify for AP classes in high school, take pre-algebra classes in middle school. Make sure to get high marks in your classes. AP classes are advanced placement classes in U.S. high schools. If you live in another country, like Canada, the UK, or India, seek out similar advanced classes at your high school. To create a successful career in astrophysics, you will also need to hone your science skills. Take AP classes in biology, chemistry, environmental science, and physics. In middle school, make sure to do well in your science classes in order to qualify for AP science classes in high school. By joining a physics or an astronomy club, you will be able to meet people who have the same passion for astrophysics as you do. This will help you develop your passion and knowledge of astrophysics.  Clubs are also a great way to learn about science and math competitions, as well as science summer camps and programs. If there's none nearby, start your own! This also shows people you have initiative to do well. Check out books written by well-known astrophysicists like Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, Freeman Dyson, and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Additionally, seek out astronomy and astrophysics books that explore topics like Exo-planets, asteroids, black holes, time warps, and other similar topics. Find these books at your school's library, or at your local bookstore. Find out about local science camps by asking your science and math teachers. Additionally, Summer Fuel and Summer Discovery host summer science programs at a wide variety of universities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and other parts of the world.

Because most French women prefer a more natural makeup look, having clear skin is an absolute must. Use only high-quality facial care items, and keep your skin full and supple through the use of skin oils, healthy dietary choices, and getting plenty of rest. To encourage glowing skin, remember to exfoliate once or twice per week, and avoid harsh chemical cleansers. French women do not stretch themselves thin, working to please everyone around them. They put themselves first, even with close friends, to make sure their needs are met before moving on to the needs of others. This is true of family relationships, friendships, and even partnerships. Note that putting your needs first is not the same as being selfish. French women are not selfish, but recognize the importance of being strong and healthy first. French women do not pressure themselves with a strict, intense workout regimen, nor do they push themselves at work until they are exhausted. French women relax physically and mentally to ensure they are always at their absolute best.  This can be a particularly difficult shift, as many countries encourage women to constantly push themselves to achieve greater gains. Practice relaxing for five minute each day, and go from there. Creating a daily routine is a great way to relax. You can set aside a few moments each morning to read the paper, or have a standing afternoon coffee date with yourself. Your body has certain angles, quirks, and tendencies that cannot be altered quickly or easily. Instead of constantly trying to suppress your body’s natural tendencies or eliminate your natural shape, work with what you have.  If you have a long, lanky frame, play it up with loose cuts and show your legs. If you are curvy, make your curves work for you with cinched waists and feminine cuts. Instead of driving everywhere, make use of your legs. Whenever possible, walk to your destination. Walking is less expensive than virtually any other form of transportation, will keep your body in good working condition, and will...

Because most children stop sucking their fingers between the ages of 2 and 4, you can opt to simply not do anything about it. This may prevent trauma or other problems with your child unless their thumb sucking is causing other issues. Weigh out which option may be best for your child by considering their personality and other factors such as social pressure or your personal feelings. Remember that sucking fingers is a natural reflex for children and may provide more comfort than harm, especially if you try and forcibly stop your child from sucking their fingers. Your child may be sucking their fingers in response to stress or anxiety or it could be a natural reflex that’s become a habit. Pay attention to your child’s behaviors before and after sucking their fingers to help identify specific triggers for sucking.  Track specific situations that cause your child to suck their fingers. Does the child do it when they have done something bad or are scared? Does your child suck their fingers only at night as a way to fall asleep? This can help you find the most effective strategies for eliminating triggers and breaking the sucking habit. Ask your child why they sucks their thumb. In some cases, open communication is a good step towards dealing with the problem. Your child may also help you realize that you can provide comfort or activity in alternative ways. Once you’ve had a chance to identify any triggers that cause your child to suck their thumbs, you can slowly begin to get rid of them. Giving your child the comfort or activity they need or desire can be an important step to breaking the habit. Relieve any stress or anxiety that provokes finger-sucking. This could be something like a fear of the dark. In this case, you may want to put a nightlight in your child’s room and give them an activity to do, like reading a book, as they fall asleep. Likewise, if your child gets scared when you go away, make a small video to remind them that you will be home soon. In addition to children feeling anxiety or stress,...

Ignore the problem. Figure out your child’s triggers. Eliminate triggers. Distract your child. Substitute items for fingers. Cover the child’s hands.


Because most movies are essentially visual stories, the first step is coming up with an idea that you want to turn into a movie. What's something that you'll have to see to believe? You don't have to have every detail in place, but you should have a basic idea of the premise.  Think about the movies you like to watch, or the books you like to read and consider what makes them so interesting. Is it the characters, the action, the visuals, or the theme? Whatever it is, keep that element in mind as you plan your movie. Write out a list of all the props, locations and actors which are currently available locally then develop a film around this. Keep a dream journal, dreams like films are visual stories and dreams. Keep a notebook with you for writing ideas down. Read the news stories in the papers. Have a basic idea, and work with that. Narrow it down as you go along while writing the plot. The essentials for building a story from your idea have to do with character. Who is your protagonist? What does your protagonist want? What keeps them from getting it? How will the protagonist be changed? If you can answer all these questions, you're on your way to a great story.  It's been said that all stories have one of two basic premises: A stranger arrives and shakes up the normal way of things, or a hero departs and goes on a journey.  Make sure your story has a beginning, in which the scenario and the characters are introduced, a middle, in which the conflict builds, and an ending, in which the conflict is resolved. Most stories have exciting points that make it awesome. However, too many can spoil the play. A screenplay breaks every moment of the story into an individual, film-able scene. While it may be tempting to want to costume-up and start filming every scene as it comes, you'll be in much better shape if you can plan things out beforehand and think of your film scene-by-scene.  A screenplay writes out all the dialog, attributed to each character, along with some physical directions, exposition, and camera...

Because movies are visual, it's a good idea to spend some time on the "look and feel" of the movie. Consider two films as an example: Matrix again, with its monochromatic, yellow-green tone throughout, which heightened the sense of being “digitized,” and A Scanner Darkly by Richard Linklater, which was rotoscoped and had a unique and memorable cartoon reality look to it. Here are some other areas to consider. It’s all there to do. For example, look at Melancholia by Lars von Trier; the opening scenes were shot with a super-high-speed camera, which renders as a fluid, graceful slow motion. Most of the rest of the movie is shot with a handheld, or “shaky cam,” setting the tone for the emotional and spiritual conflicts that ripple through the movie. How do you want the setting of your film to look? Can you film it in a real location, or will you have to build a set? The sweeping panoramas of the big screen epics of the 60s and 70s relied on a combination of wide-open spaces and studio-lot sets. Scenes from The Shining were shot at a ski lodge in Oregon. Dogville was shot on a bare stage, with only suggestions of buildings as props. Films rely heavily on the costumes to communicate essential character traits to the viewer. "Men in Black" is a key example. Some movies feature soft, almost gauzy lighting that makes the actors and the sets look significantly more appealing, and the entire film more dreamlike; others favor a lighting style that looks closer to reality, and some people push the edges and go for a really hard light that is almost cutting. Check out Domino with Keira Knightley. If you're going to shoot on-location, find the area you want and make sure it's available for filming. If you're working on a set, start building and "dressing" (or adding props) them. If possible, using actual locations is easier. Green screens can look very fake in certain locations but you can use one if you want. It's more simple to film in a diner than make a room look like one.

Because of how rich this dessert is, you might want to use a low-fat or non-fat milk for this. If you don't mind rich milkshakes, then use 2% milk or whole milk. From time to time, you pay have to pause the blender, and use a spatula to scrape down any clumps. This will ensure that everything mixes evenly. Set these pieces aside. You can also try this with Strawberry pop tarts and make a strawberry shortcake milkshake instead. You want the crumbled pop tarts to be just combined; you should still see some little chunks and crumbs. Use a spatula to help guide the mixture into two tall glasses. Serve the milkshake immediately.

Because of the complications associated with equine blood transfusions, this procedure is best saved for life-threatening occasions when the benefits outweigh the potential risks.  Situations where this might arise would be severe, uncontrolled hemorrhage caused by a severed artery, or blood loss form the womb after foaling. Another indication is severe anemia because of autoimmune disease, where the body has attacked its own red blood cells. In this situation, a transfusion may be appropriate to buy time while treatment kicks in, and give the bone marrow time to regenerate replacement red blood cells. The main marker your veterinarian will use to decide whether your horse needs a blood transfusion is the horse's packed cell volume (PCV). This is a measure of the percentage of fluid blood taken up by red blood cells.  A healthy horse has a PCV in the range of 32-52%.  The threshold at which transfusion is indicated is 12% or below. At this level, the blood is unable to deliver sufficient oxygen to the tissues to maintain function and so supplementary help in the form of a transfusion is required. Another marker used by your veterinarian during the decision process is the horse's blood hemoglobin levels.  Hemoglobin binds to oxygen, so low levels imply inadequate oxygenation of the tissues. A normal level is 11-19g/dl of blood, if this falls below 8g/dl than transfusion is advisable. Both PCV and hemoglobin can be measured by the blood machines that most modern vet clinics have on site, and the results made available within minutes of the test being run. There are 8 major equine blood groups: A, C, D, K, P, Q, U, and T. However, each of these groups is further subdivided into subtypes because of slight variations in the proteins (alloantigens) on the surface of the red blood cells.  The total combination of individual blood types has been calculated at somewhere over 400,000, thus finding a donor that is an exact match for the recipient is almost impossible. Because of this, the aim of equine transfusion...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Give your horse a blood transfusion only in life-threatening situations. Have the vet check your horse's PCV. Allow the vet to check your horse's blood hemoglobin levels. Though it may be difficult, try to find a donor with a matching blood type. Avoid donor horses from blood groups A, C, or Q. Look for a donor horse with blood type D, K, P or U. Perform blood typing on a sample of the horse's blood.


Because of the fact that salmon have such a thick jaw, the sharper you keep your hooks, the better your chances of getting a salmon on the line. It is recommended that you keep your hooks razor sharp for best results.  You'll need a hook sharpener to achieve best results, which you should be able to purchase at most sporting goods stores. Pull the hook sharpener across the point of your hook, keeping the sharpener parallel to the shank. With quick strokes to each side of the hook, your hook should be sharpened. Test the sharpness of your hook by drawing your hook across the nail of your thumb at 45-degrees. If the hook sticks to your nail and doesn't slide across, it is sufficiently sharp. Not up in the clouds but below them, as salmon prefer low-level light. Overcast days are going to offer the best success for your fishing efforts. Dawn and dusk are also times that salmon are quite active, and if you are fishing for salmon, these conditions might improve your final catch count. If the sun comes out when you are out salmon fishing, don't give up hope! Since salmon prefer lower light conditions, targeting deeper, darker water, like the shadowed areas around sandbars, can still yield results. Live bait can also give you a strong advantage in your search for salmon, but better yet is roe (fish eggs). Many sporting goods stores will sell this kind of bait cured, which will work well for you fishing endeavors. You can also harvest and cure your own roe, if you're feeling adventurous, or even use artificial lures. Many fishing aficionados recommend spinning lures, called "spinners." You'll need a permit to fish just about anywhere, but you might not know that in addition to your permit, you'll likely need a special stamp or an additional permit to fish for salmon legally.This will protect you from being fined, and potentially having your equipment seized or incarcerated, when you are salmon fishing. The permit/stamp fee you pay is important not only to the continued general health of the aquatic ecosystem, but...

Because of the risks of phentermine, this drug should be used only after dietary and exercise changes have been proven ineffective. Before seeking a phentermine prescription, make lifestyle adjustments to try to lose extra weight. Be sure to consult a physician before making any major changes to your diet and exercise routine to ensure that you remain safe and healthy. Some changes you might make include:  Take a 30-minute walk every morning Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work or at home Replace sugary drinks like soda or energy drinks with water Replace processed snacks (such as potato chips) with fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts Drink a glass of water with every meal to help you feel full and satisfied Eat foods with lots of fiber such as whole grains Do 15 minutes of moderately aerobic exercise each day, such as jogging, biking, or swimming If it is medically necessary for you to lose weight (and if diet and exercise aren't working), talk to your doctor about whether your weight loss might be assisted with the use of an appetite suppressant. Phentermine can help patients feel full for longer and resist eating unnecessary calories. Phentermine is not a magic weight loss drug: it does not work for all patients, and there are a number of risks associated with this medicine.  Furthermore, phentermine by itself will not help you lose weight, it will only decrease the apatite. It will still require self discipline to eat healthy and not overeat and to exercise in order to lose weight. While many of the side effects are minor, others can be quite severe (such as increased blood pressure and chest pain). Never self-prescribe phentermine or try to obtain it illegally. Only take this medication under a doctor's care. Phentermine should not be used by patients with high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, substance abuse issues, or by women who are pregnant or might become pregnant or breastfeeding. Patients over the age of 65 also should not take phentermine.  Phentermine...

Attempt diet and exercise first. Ask your physician if a phentermine prescription is right for you. Consider the risks carefully. Take phentermine once every morning. Take phentermine for three to six weeks. Be on the lookout for side effects. Store the medicine safely.


Because of the small differences between each shot, it’s important that your camera stays in the same position. Set up your camera on a tripod to ensure that it does. You might want to take a few test shots to make sure the tripod is at the right height and angle to your set.  You can really use any digital camera for clay animation. Larger cameras like DSLRs will give you the most editing options, but you can still make great clay animations with entry-level point-and-shoot digital cameras. You can also use your smartphone's camera, just make sure you back up your photos to an external hard drive or cloud drive. Otherwise, you won't have enough storage space. You will occasionally need to move your camera, depending on what you want to emphasize in each scene. Make sure you note on your storyboard when you need to move the camera, and where you should move it to. Set up the first set you’re going to use, and then place your figures according to your first shot card. Once you get into actually setting up the scene, you might find that you want to tweak some things slightly. That’s fine, but make sure you make changes to other shot cards as necessary. Your first scene should set up the entire story. So for example, if you're filming a story about a boy taking his dog for a walk, you might want to set up the first scene outside of the boy's house. He should have a leash in his hand, and his dog should be there, ready for the walk. Once everything is set up, you’re ready to take your first shot! Click the shutter on your camera. Check the image and make sure everything looks the way you want it, including the lighting, the figures, and your set. The entire scene should be well-lit, but it should also mimic the scene you're creating. So if you're shooting a scene that's supposed to take place outside, pick a spot where the sun might be in the sky and set up a light there. It will create realistic shadows. Use your next shot card to set up your next shot. Again, keep in mind that it will be a very small change...

Because oregano is from the same family of plants as mint, thyme, basil, and sage, individuals with allergies to any of these herbs may experience a similar reaction to oregano. If you have a sensitivity to any member of this family of plants, proceed cautiously with oregano oil, starting with a single dose of very low concentration until you know how your body will react. Because oregano oil may interfere with iron absorption and can impact blood clotting, oregano oil should only be used for short-term treatments of targeted conditions. Oregano oil is not a recommended daily supplement, even for individuals who suffer from chronic bowel inflammation or long-term gastrointestinal problems, unless it has been prescribed by a health professional. If use of oregano oil induces vomiting, skin rashes, swelling, irritation, or difficulty breathing, consult a health professional. Even natural oils have significant medicinal properties and can cause serious health complications when administered incorrectly or to individuals with an intolerance for the plant’s compounds.

Be aware of possible allergies. Do not use oregano oil for long-term treatment. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical help for certain reactions.


Because paper is so absorbent, you'll probably only need a single coat of paint for this. Set the handles down on a larger sheet of scrap paper, then apply your paint. Let the paint dry, then flip the handles over and paint the back. Let the back dry as well.  You don't want to use too much paint for this step, or the paper will turn soggy and warp. Alternatively, you can color the handles with a gold or silver marker. It won't be the exact same color as the cups, but it will be close enough. Do the next step while the paint is drying. Cut 2 lengths of ribbon, each about 6 inches (15 cm) long. Next, but V-shaped notches into the ends of each ribbon. Take 1 ribbon and thread it through the left handle. Fold the ends of the ribbon down, then glue them to the bottom of the handle. Do the same thing for the second ribbon and right handle.  Hot glue will work the best. If you want to use tacky glue, you'll have to pin the ribbons in place with a clothespin until the glue dries. You can also try double-sided tape. If the ribbon is fraying too much, you can singe the cut ends with a flame. If you are a child, ask an adult to help you. Satin ribbon about 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) wide will work the best. Red or blue are traditional colors, but you can pick any color you want.

Because photo transfer paper is expensive, try to fit two templates on one sheet (plus you are designing tiny t-shirts so you can most likely fit two on one sheet).

Because self-published musicians publicize their own music, your recordings will need to be as professional as possible. If you can't afford recording equipment, visit a nearby studio. Practice your music extensively before you record it, and run a dress rehearsal several days before you record. Make sure your voice is rested and your instruments tuned before you begin recording. You can copyright recordings, song lyrics, or both. Register for an account at your country's copyright office website and fill out an application. Once you've paid the registration fee and submitted a digital copy of your song, your application will be processed and your music copyrighted. You cannot copyright song titles or chord progressions. Self-publishing your music is as easy as streaming it online. Make your own website or upload it on a song sharing website like Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or Audiomack. Reply to comments and engage your listeners with blog posts to build a steady audience. Social media is a great way to engage with and gain more listeners. Answer questions, respond to feedback, and post about upcoming events. Comment on other musicians' profiles to build friendly networks. Don't sign up for more social media sites than you can handle. Pick 2-3 to build a presence on so you can manage the upkeep. Uploading your music to sites like Spotify, iTunes, or RadioAirplay will give your fans an easy way to play or purchase it. Unsigned musicians can contact music streaming websites through artist aggregators, who negotiate terms for a small fee.

Because silver dollar fish tend to naturally inhabit waterways in South America, they typically thrive in slightly warmer water temperatures. Use a water heater and keep a thermometer in or near the tank so you can regulate the temperature as needed. The ideal water temperature range for silver dollar fish is between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 to 27.8 degrees Celsius). However, they may be able to survive in temperatures as low as 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius). Percent hydrogen, or pH, is a measure of how acidic or basic a sample of water is. Some breeders recommend maintaining a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. However, silver dollar fish can survive in water with a pH as low as 5.0 and as high as 7.8.  Check the pH every time you change the water. You may also want to test the pH of your water source to ensure that you're not introducing acidic or basic water to an otherwise stable environment. You can raise the pH by adding an alkaline buffer and lower it by adding an acid buffer. Both products can be purchased at most pet stores or through an online retailer. General hardness is a measurement of how much calcium carbonate is dissolved in the water. Silver dollar fish generally prefer soft water with 70 to 140 parts per million of dissolved calcium carbonate.  The ideal range of water hardness for silver dollar fish is between 4 and 8 dH. You can soften hard water by using a reverse osmosis unit or by adding aquarium peat, available at many pet stores or online. You can harden soft water by adding calcium-based rocks to your tank. You should completely change the water at least once every month to ensure a stable habitat. However, changing the water too frequently can deplete the bacteria your fish rely on. Because of this, it's recommended that fish owners perform partial water changes in which approximately 25% of the water is replaced. Partial changes can be performed about once every two weeks, though tanks that get dirty very quickly may need more frequent partial water changes. You may...

Because sites such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video require a paid membership to use, it helps to look through a database of shows they feature. Start by entering the name of the show you want on a site such as justwatch.com.  As of 2016, Netflix signed an exclusive deal with Disney to stream Disney content.  Paid services are usually only useful if you already have the service or if you were thinking about subscribing anyway. Before you can access the show you want to watch, you have to sign up for the video service. Currently, Hulu offers a free trial week. Netflix offers a free month trial. You’ll need your credit card to sign up. Children should ask their parents. Remember to cancel before the end of the trial if you don’t want to be billed monthly. Offerings on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon change frequently, but sometimes they will have cancelled Disney shows in their libraries. Type the name of the show in the search bar. Click on the show and select an episode to begin.

Because some Nikes become collectibles, there are several online databases in which you can search for your specific shoe, such as https://solecollector.com/sd/sole-search-sneaker-database. These databases should list the model number, alongside shoe’s “name” and picture. Nike has, to date, 25 different lines of shoes (Including “Air Force One” and “Nike Running”). Usually this “line” will be prominently displayed on the outside of the shoe, and sometimes includes the name of a famous athlete (i.e. “Nike LeBron"). Typing your shoes' line into a collectors database should yield photos of every shoe from that line, labelled with the shoes' "names" and model numbers. Browse these photos to see if you find a match.

Because stock and mutual fund purchases can drop in value, particularly in the short-term, you should never invest money you might need for short-term living expenses or in case of an emergency.  Consequently, you should adequately finance several essential non-market obligations prior to investing in the market.  Set aside an emergency fund to cover six to 12 months of your household living expenses.   Emergency funds need to be liquid and secure. They could be a bank checking or savings account, or a money market fund within a Roth IRA.  Don’t forget to fund your insurance needs: health, car, life, home owner’s or renter’s insurance, possibly long term care insurance. Pay down higher-interest debt, especially higher-interest credit cards.  Understand how much total interest you save by making extra payments on your longer-term debts and liabilities.  Paying off lower-interest student loans is particularly important because that debt cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.  Tip: While you do not have to pay off all loans and mortgages completely before investing, you should at least be making active payments on your loans, and keep them out of deferment. If your employer does not offer this benefit, try to find a well-established highly-visible brokerage and investment firm that you trust will put your interests first.  Avoid brokers who encourage you to make investments you do not understand.  Seek out and attend any retirement investment seminars offered by your human resources department. Explore any investment resources and research tools available on your financial institution’s website. Schedule a one-on-one in-person or phone meeting with a financial advisor at your financial institution to discuss your goals and options. Understand the tax shelter benefits of the retirement account, how the investments in IRA are funded with pre-tax dollars (up to $5500 per year, $6500 if you are over 50 years old) and are allowed to grow tax-free until you cash out.

Because suede is so difficult to clean, it's better to prevent ink stains from happening in the first place. Suede-protecting sprays can be found in most drugstores, leather shops, and shoe stores. Even if the sealant cannot protect your suede completely, it may result in a stain that is lighter and easier to remove compared to an unsealed item.  Be sure to do a spot test with the sealant before coating your entire item. Even products specifically made for suede may still cause discoloration due to variations in manufacturing.  Re-seal items every few months. Brush your item with a suede brush before and after spraying. A universal rule of stain control is to soak up extra liquid before it can spread. Blot the ink with a clean cloth. Do not rub with the cloth by moving it from side-to-side. Instead, pat the spot with up-and-down motions. Be careful not to press down too hard. Rubbing and too much force can push the pigment into your suede, making the stain harder to remove. You should begin stain removal immediately after the ink has dried. The longer you leave the stain, the more difficult it will be to remove. Sometimes stains allowed to set for too long may become permanent. Unlike many other types of stains, it's more prudent to allow ink stains on suede to dry out before cleaning. The sandpaper and eraser methods will not work on wet ink. Additionally, attempting to clean wet ink using only a solvent may cause the ink to run, spreading the stain.

Seal your suede with a protective coating. Mop up excess ink immediately. Remove the stain as soon as possible.


Because the French word for "one" also is used for the article "a", it must match the gender of the subject when used as an article rather than a specific amount of something.  Create the feminine form by adding an e to the end: une (oon). For example, you might say "J'ai une chaise," or "I have one chair." If you're not sure whether a word is feminine or masculine, look at the ending. Some endings, such as -ée or -enne, are always feminine. Other endings, such as -ent or -il, are masculine. There are four numbers (cinq, six, huit, and dix) in French where the final consonant typically is dropped if they come immediately before another word with a consonant. For example, if you were saying "ten minutes" in French, you would say "dix minutes," but it would be pronounced dee min-OOT. In English, you would say "I am ten years old," but in French you use the correct conjugated form of the verb avoir, which means "to have." To say you were ten years old in French, you would say "J'ai dix ans," which literally translates to "I have ten years."

Change the gender for un when necessary. Learn when to drop the final consonant. Use avoir to talk about age.


Because the exhaust is located on the underside of the vehicle, it often gets caked with mud, dirt and rust.  Once you locate the leak, use a steel toothed brush to scrub the area surrounding it.  Most repairs will not stick or seal if done over dirt and grime.  Scrub the entire portion of the pipe around the leak, including the top side if you can reach it. Make sure to wear eye protection while scrubbing the area to prevent debris from getting in your eyes. Once you have scraped off most of the dirt and grime, take a piece of fine grit sandpaper and use it to scrub the portion of the pipe you need to repair.  Sandpaper will remove the last bits of dirt as well as creating tiny micro abrasions in the metal to help the tape or epoxy adhere to it.  If you are using exhaust tape, make sure to scrub the pipe all the way around with the sand paper. Roughing up the surface of the metal will create a stronger bond for the patch. Once you have brushed and sanded the pipe around the leak, wipe the area down with acetone to clean it and help the exhaust epoxy bond to the metal.  Acetone is the primary ingredient in nail polish remover, so using nail polish remover will work well for this purpose.  Be very careful not to drip acetone into your eyes or mouth while wiping down the pipe with it. You can purchase acetone in the cleaning chemicals section of many retail stores, or nail polish remover in the health and beauty sections. Small cracks or pinholes can be sealed using just epoxy or exhaust tape, but larger holes will need a patch.  If the leak is a thin crack or small hole, you can proceed without purchasing or making a patch to help.  If the hole is larger, you will need a patch as well as epoxy. Attempting to seal too large a hole without a patch can result in an imperfect seal or the exhaust leak resurfacing after a few hours of driving. If you are using exhaust repair tape, wrap it all the way around the pipe, covering the exhaust leak with at least two layers of tape.  Make sure to wrap the tape around the...

Scrub the area surrounding the leak with a steel toothed brush. Use sandpaper to prepare the surface of the pipe. Wipe the surface down with acetone. Determine if the hole is small enough to be sealed without a patch. Wrap the exhaust tape around the pipe. Mix the epoxy together and apply it to the leak.


Because the hair and skin of a newborn are so delicate and sensitive, you don't actually need to use shampoo or cleansers. For your newborn's first bath, just pour a little plain water over their scalp. Pat the newborn's scalp dry with a soft towel. You don't need to scrub, massage, or really wash the scalp until they're a little older. Wait until the baby is one month old before using shampoo or cleansers. Buy a shampoo that's formulated to use on delicate newborn hair. Look for a gentle cleanser that has a neutral pH level and doesn't contain dyes or fragrances. Your baby may be sensitive to dyes or fragrances, so avoid them until your newborn is a little older. To wash just your newborn's hair, fill a clean sink or basin with warm water. The water should be between 98 °F (37 °C) and 100 °F (38 °C). You can check the water temperature with a thermometer or dip your elbow into the water. The water should feel comfortably warm. Cradle the newborn so their head is in the crook of your arm directly over the basin of water or sink. Use your other hand to do the hair washing. Dip your clean hand into the water or dip a clean cloth in the water. Use your fingers or the cloth to gently rub the newborn's scalp. If you want to use shampoo, add a drop or two to the baby's scalp before you massage it. You'll also want to gently massage the soft spots of the scalp (the fontanelles). Be extra gentle when handling these tender areas. If you used shampoo on the baby's hair, dip a clean cloth in plain water and wipe the baby's soapy hair with it. Continue to rinse and wring out the cloth until the soap is gone. You can also carefully pour water over the baby's scalp to rinse the soap away. Hold your hand over the baby's forehead, so the soapy water doesn't run into their eyes. If you accidentally get soapy water in the baby's eyes, dip a clean washcloth in plain water and wipe their eyes. Once the soap is gone, the baby will open their eyes again. Avoid scrubbing or pulling the towel across the baby's scalp. Instead, blot...

Rinse your newborn's hair for the first bath. Choose a gentle baby shampoo after one month. Fill a basin with warm water. Hold your baby with their head over the water. Wet the baby's head and massage their scalp. Rinse shampoo from the hair, if necessary. Dry the baby's hair with a soft towel. Wash your newborn's hair up to twice a week.


Because the high waist fashion is so trendy, there has been a boom in different designs of skirts while maintaining the signature high waist. Experiment and discover which styles of high waisted skirts look best on you.  There are pencil skirts, A-line skirts, pleated skirts, maxi skirts, and many more. High waisted skirts can be found in a variety of stores depending on your price range.  Pencil skirts are known for their slimming features and are typically worn for more formal occasions. A-line skirts are appropriate for more modest circumstances, like interviews or work place attire. Pleated skirts help to create a less formal, playful, feminine look. Because there is such a variety in high waisted skirts styles, some varieties are more appropriate for certain situations than others. For example, besides the design style of the skirt, the length and print of the skirt can determine which settings and situations it would be best to wear that style. Generally speaking, the shorter the skirt, the more appropriate it is for a relaxed setting.  For most business settings, a dark colored, knee length or calf length skirt is considered appropriate attire.  Floor length maxi skirts are normally considered casual wear. Because maxi skirts are more casual, there is more freedom in the print style.  High waisted mini skirts are considered appropriate for extremely casual settings, party, and club wear. Shorter skirts can usually be bolder in color and paired with fun accessories. A high waisted skirt is supposed to emphasize your hip to waist ratio, so wearing the correct size skirt is very important. If the skirt is too small, it will pull across your body and create folds and lumps in unflattering areas. If the skirt is too big, it could diminish the sleek, waist defining effect intended by the skirt. Since these styles of skirts sit high on your waist, it can shrink the appearance of your torso. If you already have a shorter distance between your belly button and your breast line, this skirt style will...

Because the impact on language and communication varies from person to person (depending upon which area of the brain has been damaged), the approach of the speech therapist will vary depending upon your specific presentation. He or she will focus on finding ways to help you to more effectively manage your condition in social situations, and to preserve as many of your communication abilities as possible.  Note that, while speech therapists can help you to manage your condition, they cannot cure it. The actual "pathophysiology" (the damage to your brain) is not reversible and will only continue to worsen with time, as this is what the disease entails. Given that the pathophysiology of  progressive aphasia is not reversible, and will only continue to progress with time, it is important to explore alternate modes of communication that can help you to cope. Your speech therapist may suggest non-verbal strategies for communication, such as gesturing or pointing, which many patients find helpful when their condition becomes more severe. One of the key elements for people as their progressive aphasia worsens is finding a community of people who understand the condition, and who can be there as an emotional and social support network. Connecting with an Aphasia Community Group may also provide you with insights and strategies as to how to better manage your condition, and to optimize your communication and interactions with those around you, as you will be exposed to people who are faced with similar problems in day-to-day life. As their condition progresses, some people carry ID cards with them and/or papers with information about their diagnosis that they can give to others. This way, if communication is a significant challenge, it can help others to understand and hence smooth the interaction as much as possible.

Because the likelihood of developing a fungal infection relates to the degree of moisture (fungi thrive in moist environments), choosing socks that are made of a material that does not absorb the moisture of sweat can be a very helpful preventative step.  Socks made of nylon, polypropylene, or wool are all great options. Change your socks often, especially if you have sweaty feet. It is best to avoid cotton socks if possible. In addition to thriving in moist environments, fungi also thrive in confined spaces. This is why wearing tight shoes throughout the day - and particularly old shoes - can increase your risk of developing a nail fungal infection.  Consider wearing open-toed shoes for part of the day if this is an option for you. Also replace old shoes with new ones. Alternatively, you can use a disinfectant or an antifungal powder in old shoes to get rid of any possible contamination. Wear separate shoes for exercise than you do for work and everyday life. Exercise shoes hold a lot of sweat and moisture so may predispose you more to fungal infections. While wearing confining shoes for a long period of time can be a risk factor for fungal infections, so, too, can walking barefoot in public places where fungi may be present. Wear sandals while walking at public swimming pools, in the shower room, and in the locker room. This will greatly diminish your chance of contracting a nail fungal infection. For tasks such as cleaning or washing dishes, where your fingernails may be exposed to dirt and moisture, one option is to wear rubber gloves. However, it is important to dry the gloves thoroughly after each use. Flip the gloves inside out to ensure that the inside is dry as well as the outside. While it is possible to develop a fungal infection on your toenails as well as your fingernails, the toenails are far more common. This is because your feet spend more time in confined spaces (such as wearing socks and shoes), and may also be exposed to more moisture (such as the sweat and dampness from these...

Choose socks that absorb sweat. Consider your choice of footwear. Do not walk barefoot in public places. Wear rubber gloves to keep moisture off your hands. Understand why fungal infections are more common on the toenails than on the fingernails.


Because the natural nails underneath your acrylic nails will continue to grow, a gap between your cuticle and acrylic nail will begin to show within 2 or 3 weeks. You'll need to fill your nails more frequently if they grow out faster.

Because the oil from the chiles can irritate your skin and eyes, wear plastic gloves when handling your chiles and wash your hands after handling chiles barehanded. Remove limp, spotted, and soft chiles. Crisp, firm, fresh peppers will yield the best pickled chiles. Use a knife to remove the tops of the chiles. Slice them in your preferred fashion. Transfer the sliced chiles to a colander and rinse them under warm water. When most of the seeds have been removed or washed into the bottom of the colander, place the chiles and colander off to the side. Heat your water in a kettle or pot until it is lightly boiling. Add the water and all other ingredients to a suitable mixing bowl. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the sugar completely dissolves. Insert the chiles into a sterilized jar. Pour the pickling mixture into the jar with the chiles. Leave at least a half inch (1.3 cm) of space between the mixture and the top of the jar. Jars can be sterilized by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Submerge the jars completely. Use tongs to prevent getting burned by hot water or jars. In this fashion, sterilize lids in nearly boiling water. Jars filled with the heated pickling mixture may cause burns if touched. Place these in a safe, out of reach location where children, other adults, and pets won't have access to them. When the lid has been fastened to the cooled jar, store it in the refrigerator. Wait at least an hour before eating the chiles. Chiles may lose spiciness over time. Eat your pickled chiles within a week for a more intense flavor. Wait at least a week for milder pickled chiles.

Separate out bad chiles. Cut the chiles and remove the seeds. Combine pickling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add chiles and the pickling mixture to the jar. Allow the jar to cool before fastening its lid. Refrigerate your pickled chiles and enjoy.


Because the skin thins during treatment, you become more likely to scar.  Wax epilations (waxing) should be avoided for at least six months after completing your Isotretinoin treatment. Both ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing, as well as dermabrasion and other acne scar revision techniques, should be avoided while taking Accutane.  During the treatment period, your skin is thinner than usual and leaves you more vulnerable to scarring. Try not to shave while taking Accutane.  If you must remove facial or leg hair, use a safety razor and a mild shaving cream.  If your skin is especially cracked or dry, use the suds of a mild soap or non-soap cleanser instead of shaving cream.  Wet the area of the skin you wish to shave, then apply the lather or suds to it.  Move your razor slowly across the surface of the area you wish to shave.  Wash your razor and rinse your shaved body part when finished.  Take care when shaving.  Do not use straight edge razors. Using an electric shaver is the least damaging way to remove leg and facial hair.

Do not wax your skin. Do not get laser resurfacing. Shave hair as needed.


Because the treatment will begin to leak out as it dissolves, try to lie down immediately after inserting the cream or suppository. This is why most women use these Monistat treatments right before bed.  It's also a good idea to wear pantyliners to protect your underwear from any leakage. The Monistat 3 ovules will dissolve without leaking, so you can use these during the day. While you can treat a yeast infection during your period, don't insert tampons after you've used Monistat. The tampons can absorb the medication, so use pads instead. You should avoid using condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps until you've finished the treatment. The Monistat 3 medication can weaken these forms of birth control, so use an alternative form of birth control until treatment is complete. For example, switch to a hormonal method such as the pill or an intrauterine device (IUD). You may experience some abdominal cramping, headaches, hives, or skin rash. If these side effects don't go away or become worse, you may have an allergic reaction. Contact your healthcare provider for advice about whether to stop using the Monistat. Some women notice a brief burning sensation when they start using Monistat 3. If you do, you might want to switch to Monistat 7, which is a lower dose. Keep in mind that you'll need to take the treatment for 7 full days instead of 3 because of the difference in dosing. You should notice an improvement in symptoms within 3 days, but talk with a doctor if the yeast infection isn't gone after 1 week. Your healthcare provider may find that the infection wasn't actually a yeast infection and prescribe a different treatment. Talk with your healthcare provider if the same symptoms come back within 2 months of treating it. This can mean that something else is causing your infections.

Use the prefilled cream applicators or suppositories right before bed. Avoid using tampons while using a Monistat treatment. Avoid using condoms and rubber-based birth control barriers. Stop using Monistat if you have side effects or an allergic reaction. Switch to Monistat 7 if you experience burning. Get medical attention if your symptoms don't improve after 7 days.


Because the wound is between your vagina and your anus, you will need to take extra care to keep the wound as clean and dry as possible. Always rinse the area with water after urinating and wipe your bottom from front to back after you have a bowel movement. Doing so will help keep the area clean and reduce the potential for infection from bacteria in the stool. Start doing Kegel exercises as soon as possible after you give birth as long as your doctor says it is okay. Doing Kegel exercises will help to improve circulation and speed your healing time. It will also help your body to repair some of the tissue damage from giving birth.  Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. In addition to helping your episiotomy wound to heal, these exercise can also help reduce urinary incontinence in women and strengthen contractions during orgasm.  To perform Kegel exercises, start with an empty bladder and imagine trying to stop yourself from urinating and passing gas at the same time. You are trying to squeeze and lift the area. Be sure that you are squeezing and lifting without using any other muscles. Do not tighten your stomach muscles, squeeze your legs together, tighten your buttocks, or hold your breath. Only the pelvic floor muscles should be working. Since an episiotomy wound does not get much exposure to air during normal daily activities, it is important to expose your wound to air now and then. Exposing your wound to air for a few hours per day will help to reduce the moisture against the stitches. When you are napping during the day or at night, take off your underwear so that your wound will get some exposure to the air. You will need to wear a sanitary pad while your episiotomy wound heals. Wearing a sanitary pad will help to keep the wound dry and also prevent any blood from getting on your underwear. Keeping the area clean and dry will help it to heal faster.  Make sure that you change your sanitary pad ever two to four hours even if it looks clean....

Because these handy devices come in a variety of sizes you will need socks that will fit.  That means you may need to shop in the men’s department for the larger model or purchase extra stretchy socks. Although one pair should give you two good cleanings, you may be one of those folks who aren’t fond of doing laundry every few days. If you need to clean your floors every day but don’t want to do laundry more than once or twice a week you should consider purchasing more than one pair of socks. While cotton may be nice, you want material that will attract and grab floor debris.  A blend may not work as well as 100% chenille.

Evaluate your Swiffer size. Consider how many pairs you will need. Examine sock material to ensure they are made of 100% chenille material.


Because these substitutions are not cooked, it doesn't have the light caramel flavor found in most evaporated milk. It does have about the same fat percentage and consistency, however, so it works well as a substitute in baked goods and other recipes where milk isn't at the forefront. To substitute 1 cup (240 mL) evaporated milk, mix ¾ cup (180 mL) milk and ¼ cup (60 mL) half-and-half. Use the same type of milk called for in the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for full-fat evaporated milk, start with full-fat regular milk. If the recipe does not specify a type of evaporated milk, assume it means full-fat. If you don't have both milk and half-and-half, you can scour your fridge for last-resort alternatives:  Half-and-half is close enough to work as a substitute. You can substitute buttermilk instead if a tart flavor is appropriate.  Cream is an extra-rich substitute. You could try half water and half cream as a rough alternative, but only in cooked sauces or soups, not in desserts or baked goods. Whole milk is a risky substitute, as it will not thicken sauces as well as evaporated milk.

Use these in recipes where the milk flavor is not important. Combine milk with half-and-half. Replace with other dairy products.


Because this clock is made out of paper, it won't be able to move its hands on its own. You can move the hands yourself, but for that, you will need a brad or paper fastener. Here's a list of what you will need:  Paper plate Paper Brad (paper fastener) Scissors Crayons, markers, stickers, etc A plate with pictures on it may look pretty, but you won't be able to see the numbers. Don't worry, you can color the plate later. If you can't find a plain paper plate, use a regular plate to trace a circle onto a piece of paper. Cut the circle out and use it instead. If you have a very narrow rim, then write the numbers on the plate itself. Try to make the spaces between the numbers as even as you can. It might also be a good idea to write the numbers with a pencil first. You can draw over the numbers with crayon or marker later.  Try to write the 12, 3, 6, and 9 first. This may help you keep things even.  You can also use foam or sticker numbers instead of writing them out. One arrow should be a little shower than the other one. Make sure that the bigger arrow can reach the numbers. The big arrow will be the minute hand, and the small hand will be the hour hand. If you want to add color to your clock, now is the time. You can color the clock with crayons, paint, or markers. You can add stickers or even glitter to it. Try not to put too much on it, or you will not see the numbers. If you used paint or glitter glue, you will need to let everything dry before moving on.

Because this condition can become severe, you may need to go to the hospital for medical care at any given point. If you start bleeding or your bleeding becomes suddenly heavier, you need to go to the emergency room. If you are bleeding moderately to heavily, your doctor may recommend that you enter the hospital. In the hospital, you will be able to lie down most of the time with medical personnel available if any problem arises. If your bleeding cannot be controlled or if you or your baby show signs of considerable distress, your doctor may need to perform a cesarean section. This step may be necessary even if you are not yet approaching your due date.  If you are not bleeding heavily and the placenta is blocking the cervix, you may be able to have a natural birth. However, about 3/4 of women who have this condition in the third trimester are not able to give birth vaginally. Doctors commonly recommend delivering a few weeks early with this condition.  If you have had a prior caesarean delivery and have placenta previa, you are at higher risk for a condition called placenta accreta. This is a serious condition in which the placenta does not detach after childbirth. You will need to make sure you deliver in a hospital that is prepared for this situation, including having a well-stocked blood bank. Read up on placenta previa and cesarean section, which may be a necessary consequence of the condition. Feeling more informed may make you feel less anxious and more in control. Talk to your partner or to a trusted friend or relative about any sadness, depression, frustration, worry, or anxiety you may be feeling. It's natural to experience these feelings when your pregnancy does not go as you anticipated, and it's vital to get these emotions out into the open. Another option is to join an online support group. Online support groups exist for people with placenta previa and people on bed rest. Consider joining one. These groups can provide much-needed commiseration and suggestions for coping strategies. If you are...

Because this is the biggest piece of furniture in your room, you want to give it ample space to shine, and then you can arrange whatever other furniture you have around it. You might be tempted to shove the bed into a corner, but keeping it centered makes it the focal point of the room, keeps things looking symmetrical, and prevents the clutter that comes from trying to fit too much into a small space.  If you have enough room to walk on each side of the bed, it'll be easier to make it each morning, too! If your room is too small to have the bed in the center of a wall (maybe the door wouldn't be able to open or close), then push it into a corner and focus on keeping the path beside the bed uncluttered. Painting your walls a lighter color will make the room feel bigger, whereas darker colors can make the room feel closed in. Light gray, shades of white, or even a very light rose color can make your bedroom feel bright, fresh, and open.  But don't be afraid to go dark if that is what you like! Painting your room with crisp, dark shades of gray or blue can make the room feel more intimate and chic. If you are going dark, take into consideration how much natural light the room gets—you don't want to feel claustrophobic.  If you already have a bedspread and don't plan on buying a new one, choose a complementary paint color that works with it, like a neutral or pastel in the right color scheme. as high as possible to make the room look taller. Getting those curtains up close to the ceiling will draw the eye upward when you enter the room. Choose curtains that will reach the floor even when hung up at ceiling height.
