Research your partner's style preferences to find out what kind of ring would make them happy. Have they always wanted a brilliant diamond, or would it be more dazzling to have the ring set with a colorful stone? Pay attention when your partner mentions what kind of styles they like, and take a look at some of their other jewelry for comparison. A wedding proposal is a momentous occasion, and they've probably been dreaming all their life about the day someone pops the question with the perfect ring.  Having an engagement ring set with your partner's birthstone can be a moving alternative to the traditional diamond.  Using your partner's other jewelry for reference can save you a lot of trouble weeding out options. For instance, if most of the rings and necklaces they own are silver, it's a safe bet that they are partial to silver over other decorative metals. In jeweler’s lingo, the “four Cs” refer to the Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color of diamonds and other precious gemstones. These are the most important qualities to look for when shopping for a ring set with a stone, and since you’ll be shelling out a lot of money for it, it can pay to know how to appraise what you’re shown. If you have a notion of what you’re after in terms of each “C,” you’ll also have a much easier time communicating your needs to the jewelry specialist.  Cut deals with the shape and texture of a stone. These might come in their raw forms, or they can be cut with precise angles for greater symmetry and appeal. Carat is a term that denotes a stone’s size. The higher the number of carats, the bigger the rock, and the more you can expect to pay for it. Clarity is a desirable trait of gemstones that have a uniform, translucent appearance and are lacking any unwanted imperfections in shape. Color refers to the natural hues of a stone, and is largely a matter of preference. Diamonds of the highest purity are most often clear or opalescent, but they can also be red, pink or blue, and some of these colors are exceedingly rare and valuable....

Pick out a ring that is meaningful to your partner. Assess the "Four Cs" when deciding on a gemstone. Choose the right style. Make it a surprise.


Research your unique techs in the castle because no other civilization has the unique techs you have. If your enemy has many buildings, it is best to rap up 1 or 2 trebuchets until you attack. You should at least have about 80 villagers. Create 20 more (don't worry; you do not have to do it all in one time) 5 at a time. Villagers are surprisingly strong and usually scare off siege weapons when you tell them to attack. When you reach 100 villagers, all you should be concentrating on is the military. Reseed farms as usual, and rap up your military. Create many units so that you have 50 infantry, 25 archers, 20 cavalry, and 5 siege units. If you are playing the Goths, you have a +10 population which means you can fill in 5 more villagers and some trebuchets. Now, with 100 (or 105) units, go crush your opponents as you've never done it before!!!

Research all the important stuff like Crop Rotation, Two-Man Saw, Stone/Gold Shaft Mining, and other stuff that are important. Continue to create villagers.


Researchers still don’t know exactly what causes migraines, but they seem to be linked to environmental factors. Triggers include things like bright lights, loud sounds, strong fumes, irregular sleeping and eating patterns, and certain foods. If you know what sorts of things tend to cause you to have a migraine, you can avoid or manage the triggers. For instance:  If bright lights trigger your migraines, reduce the amount of time you spend in full sunlight, in fully lit rooms, or looking at screens on computers, smartphones, and tablets. You can also buy different colored lens that will block certain wavelengths that cause issues for you.  If you tend to have migraines when you are tired, get on a regular sleep schedule so you go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. Certain activities and habits can make migraines more likely, frequent, or severe. Eliminating these from your life can help stop your migraine problems.  Limit your consumption of alcohol and caffeine. While some patients benefit from minimal caffeine consumption, partaking more than 3 times per week can increase migraines.  Stop smoking. Stop using oral contraceptives. Don’t skip meals. Many people who have migraines find that they seem to be caused by stress or worsened because of it. Learning to deal with stress and anxiety will not only help reduce your migraine problem, it can also improve your overall quality of life. Ways to manage stress include:  Exercising Trying relaxation techniques Do breathing exercises Doing yoga Acupuncture can help lower pain, while massage may lower the frequency of migraines. Everyone responds differently to treatment, so do what works for you. You can even try self massage. Some vitamins and minerals can help prevent migraines. Vitamin B-2 (riboflavin), Coenzyme Q10, and magnesium are all great options. Always talk to your doctor before taking any vitamins or supplements. Your doctor can help you determine a proper dosage to meet your needs.

Avoid your migraine triggers. Stop behaviors that can worsen migraines. Manage stress. Try alternative treatments such as acupuncture and massage. Try supplements if your doctor approves.


Researching the company will give you an idea of whether the company is a bit more laid back or strictly professional. Your findings should help to shape the outfit your pick out.  When you interview at an organization that has an open, easy going culture, there will most likely be less of a need to wear very conservative, professional clothes. In offices with formal environments, you should plan to wear conservative, neutral and professional outfits. A good tip to remember is that you do not want to be remembered for your dress; that means your attire should help the interviewer focus on the interview rather than being distracted by your wacky clothes. This is best achieved by wearing solid colors rather than some overwhelming prints. Solid colors like navy, grey and black dresses and suits make you look professional. Small patterns or pinstripes are also acceptable, but remember they should be small enough to appear solid from across the room. A brightly colored outfit  is likely to turn heads and catch the interviews attention, which may take away from the interview. Therefore limiting yourself to solid colors like navy, black, brown and gray will help you blend into the office environment. White also looks very professional and you can add a white blouse or shirt to go with your suit or dress.  If you find this to be too drab or authoritative, you can make your clothes looks more interesting by adding a dash of color to your neutral color dress. Pale colors are best to soften the look and make a great choice for interviews that are for a job where you are working with clients or customers. A pale blue shirt can soften the harsh look of a dark grey suit. Adding a bright colored item like a red scarf or tie can give some authority to your personality. It's a good idea to choose an outfit according to the office culture and the role that you are interviewing for. An investment banker’s attire must ooze professionalism and power while if you are appearing for a graphic designer’s position in a startup...

Residential water meters can ordinarily be found at the front of the property near the curb or street. They are most often housed in concrete boxes underground with heavy steel covers that are bolted shut and labelled “Water” for ease of identification.  In an apartment or condominium, the water meters will likely be located in a utility room in the basement or at ground level. They might also be located directly on the building’s exterior.  If your water bill is included in the cost of your rent or homeowner's association dues, the usage for your entire building will be read from a single meter. Make sure to check with the provider first to find out if it is okay for you to access the meter. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool into one of the small holes in the cover and pry it up carefully. Set the cover aside somewhere nearby. If your meter box has a hinged cover, simply pull back the lid.  Never attempt to open your meter box by hand. Snakes, rodents, insects and other dangerous animals have been known to nest inside water meter boxes. Go ahead and wipe the underside of the cover clean of dust, dirt and cobwebs while you have it off. An analog meter will appear as a large circular dial that may have one or more moving hands. Newer digital meters feature glowing readouts similar to an alarm clock and don’t require any complicated calculations to read.  An analog water meter may be covered with a protective cap you will need to lift in order to see the meter's display. Some digital meters are light activated and won’t show your water usage until you shine a flashlight on them.  Keep in mind that you will be held liable for any repairs or assessments if the meter is damaged.

Locate your water meter. Remove the cover of the meter box. Check whether your property has analog or digital meters.


Resist the urge to conceal your condition, even if you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Your obstetrician is one of your best resources during this time.  Sometimes, eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia, can develop for the first time when you are pregnant. If you do not have a history of eating disorders but are worried about your weight or eating habits, tell your obstetrician. Typically, during pregnancy you may visit your obstetrician once every 2-4 weeks. If you have a history of eating disorders, however, you may be asked to make more frequent appointments. Ask your obstetrician if it is safe to continue taking your medication. In most cases, your obstetrician will advise you to continue your antidepressants, although you may need to consult with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist to adjust the dose. If you are using laxatives, diuretics, or appetite suppressants to purge or lose weight, tell your doctor immediately. These can be dangerous during pregnancy, and your doctor will help you stop. Your obstetrician will need to weigh you, but you do not have to know your weight. Ask your obstetrician to weigh you without telling or showing you the result. They may simply say if you are gaining weight at a healthy rate or not.  Remember, pregnancy is temporary, and gaining weight is necessary for your baby’s health. Talk to your doctor about your weight gain goals, and do your best to follow their recommendations. If you started your pregnancy at a healthy weight, you will need to gain around 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) by the time you deliver. If you were underweight, you may need to gain more, and if you were overweight, you may be able to gain less. Avoid weighing yourself at home. This may cause you to obsess over your weight gain. If you are not already receiving counseling for your eating disorder, now is a good time to begin. Your obstetrician or primary care doctor can refer you to a specialist who can guide you through the process of recovery. Women who experience eating disorders tend to have...

Talk to your obstetrician about your history of eating disorders. Talk to your obstetrician about any medications you are taking. Let your obstetrician weigh you without seeing the result yourself. Visit a therapist to treat your eating disorder. See a registered dietitian for nutritional support. Ask your obstetrician about what will happen if your disorder does not improve.


Resist the urge to cover up with baggy clothes, which can look sloppy and throw off your body’s proportions. Clothes that are too tight are no better. The trick is to invest in clothes that fit you just right.  If you don’t know your sizes, ask an employee at a clothing store for recommendations. If you’re self-conscious, it may be more comfortable to shop at a men's store that specializes in big and tall sizes. Be sure to choose clothes that fit you right now. You may have to buy new items in the future if you lose or gain weight in the future, but well-fitting clothes can help you look your best in the present. A v-neck collar helps elongate the face and neckline, so look for that collar shape when you’re shopping for t-shirts and sweaters. Crew neck collars, on the other hand, don’t draw the eyes down and can exaggerate a round face shape. Crisp, quality v-neck t-shirts are super versatile. You could wear a v-neck and linen slacks to a barbecue or pair one with a blazer for a business casual look. The distance between a dress shirt’s collar points is called the spread. When you shop for button-ups, look for shirts with widely spread collar points to balance out a broader face and neck.  Ideally, go for collar spreads wider than a right angle. Look where the collar points meet at the top button and form an angle. That angle should be greater than 90 degrees. Narrow collars look out of proportion with broad features. Next to a narrow collar, a broad face and neck look wider. Straight-legged pants can help balance out the proportions of your legs, waist, and stomach. Pants that are as wide at the bottom as at the thigh are especially great if you have a larger midsection but smaller legs. Boot-cut pants with a subtle flare at the ankle could also work, but you generally don’t want to go with full-on bell-bottoms (unless that’s your style!).  Tapered jeans (such as skinny jeans) with wider thighs and thinner ankles can make your legs look disproportionately small and exaggerate your midsection. Pleats can add...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Go for well-fitting clothes instead of baggy or tight cuts. Choose v-neck tops instead of round, crew neck collars. Look for button-ups with spread collars to complement broad features. Stick with straight-legged, medium-rise pants with no pleats. Make sure your shorts don’t go past your knees. Wear 3-button blazers with wide lapels to add structure to your looks.


Resistors have colored bands that can help you tell them apart. A 100-ohm resistor will have a brown, black, and brown band. The final band at the far end will also be brown to represent 1% resistance. If you have a bunch of resistors to choose from, pick one with a known resistance value. Resistors are labeled when they are new, but they can be easy to mistake once they are out of the packaging. Always test inductance using a resistor you are familiar with to ensure you get an accurate result. In series means the current passes through the coil one after the other. Start setting up a circuit by placing the coil and resistor next to each other. Make sure they have 1 terminal touching. To finish the circuit, you will also need to touch power wires to the exposed ends of the resistor and inductor.  Purchase power wires online or at a hardware store. They will usually be red and black so you can easily tell them apart. Touch the red wire to the exposed end of the resistor and the black wire to the opposite end of the inductor. If you don’t already have one, consider getting a breadboard. The holes in the board help a lot with connecting the wires and components. Take the output leads from the function generator and plug them into the oscilloscope. Then, turn on both devices to make sure they are working. Once they are both on, take the function generator’s red output lead and connect it to the red power wire in your circuit. Connect the oscilloscope’s black input lead to the black wire in your circuit.  A function generator is a piece of electrical testing equipment that sends electrical waves through the circuit. It allows you to control the signal moving through the coil so you can accurately calculate the inductance. The oscilloscope is used to detect and display the signal voltage running through the circuit. You need it to visualize the signal you’re setting up with the function generator. The function generator simulates currents the inductor and resistor would receive if they were actually being used. Use...

Choose a 100-ohm resistor with 1% resistance. Connect the inductor coil in series with the resistor. Wire a function generator and an oscilloscope into the circuit. Run a current through the circuit with the function generator. Monitor the input voltage and resistor voltage on the screen. Find the frequency of the functional generator current. Calculate the inductance using a mathematical formula.


Respect is usually due either to being liked or to being deemed competent. Sometimes respect is a combination of the two. However, when it comes to the workplace, it may be easier to control how competent you seem than how well liked you are. Demonstrate your knowledge and abilities at work in order to encourage respect among your peers. Respect is often afforded to those who work to further the interests of the group--in this case, your company. Demonstrate that you are responsible and productive and that you care about how your business if performing. Volunteer to help with projects when you can, and never shirk your work. Agree to accomplish your assigned tasks, and complete them on schedule. Some keys to scheduling your time wisely include:  Sticking to a routine. Avoiding perfectionism during routine tasks--if it takes you 30 minutes to write a brief, low-stakes email, you should reevaluate your priorities. Resist the urge to multitask. Instead, keep your attention focused on one thing at a time; you will get more done in the long run.  Exercise in the mornings. Spending 20-30 minutes exercising in the morning can help keep you focused and energized for a full day of work.  Write important things down. It can be difficult to remember everything we are told, and it can take valuable time and mental energy to recall important information. Write down important tasks, information, and details in order to save yourself time and energy. While you should accomplish your assigned tasks, it is possible that you will be given too many items to accomplish them all productively. Rather than refusing to accomplish your tasks, be proactive with your boss and colleagues about how to prioritize your work. For example, when your supervisor assigns you a new task when you are already overscheduled, you should say, "I would love to help you with that. I am currently scheduled to accomplish tasks A, B, C, and D. Do you have any recommendations about what I might place on the back-burner?" Let your supervisor help you find a...

Earn respect by being good at your job. Be a team player. Do your work in a timely way. Prioritize your tasks when you get too busy. Admit mistakes. Avoid office gossip. Do not lie about your abilities. Be prepared for meetings. Behave with confidence. Track your accomplishments.


Respect is usually due either to being liked or to being deemed competent. Sometimes respect is a combination of the two. It can sometimes be difficult to be likable in professional situations. However, you do have some control about how others view you. Especially if you have a position of power at work, your own behavior will be modeled by those underneath you. You have the power to create a more congenial workplace by being congenial to others. Never yell, curse, or insult your colleagues and employees: always remain polite and professional. Studies show that demonstrating respect for others will make it more likely for them to respect you. Do not brown-nose, but do behave toward your coworkers with empathy and courtesy. Some ways for you to demonstrate your respect include:  Listening actively to their ideas. Complimenting them when they do a good job. Asking them for their input. Behaving politely. Showing interest in their lives. If you are a supervisor, you can create policies that will discourage your employees from behaving in an uncivil way toward each other and toward you. You should also make sure that you only hire employees who have a track record of behaving respectfully at work. Company civility policies can help make respect thrive in the workplace. While shy, introverted people are often not initially respected by their peers, over time respect will grow. Indeed, introverts are often respected more than extroverts given enough time. If you are introverted or nervous, be patient and focus on your work. Let your colleagues' respect for you build over time. Employees respond more positively to supervisors who are humble and behave respectfully themselves. Those who insist on being deferred to might receive more external signs of respect but will not actually be respected by their employees. Always be humble, and never push colleagues and employees to behave in a deferential manner. Morality is one of the key attributes of respect. If you consistently demonstrate that you are an honest,...

Rest assured that you don’t need to surround yourself with a lot of friends to come across as cool to other people. But remember: it would look kind of suspicious if the few friends you do have all started to bail on you. Don’t take them for granted. Prove to them (as well as to others outside your circle) that you are definitely worth their time, respect, and loyalty. Shun the idea of being the center of attention. When your friends need to unload or vent or even just BS, put yourself on the back burner and really listen to what they have to say. Prove to them that you really do desire to know exactly what they think and feel about this, that, and the other thing.  Ask follow-up questions once they finish telling you something to show them that you want to understand them fully. Respond directly to their comments rather than switching the subject or simply stating your own opinions. If you feel like a personal story or opinion of your own would benefit them, frame it in a way that clearly shows that this is a response to what they have said, and not just an opportunity for you to talk about yourself. Being cool and confident is a matter of seeking approval from yourself first and foremost, but that doesn’t mean you should disregard what the people who are most important to you have to say. When they point out a flaw of yours, take it as constructive feedback rather than an insult. Accept the fact that you are not perfect. Embrace your closest friends as people with whom you can be yourself, flaws and all, without having to strike a constant “cool” pose.  Keep an ear out for repeated hints about your flaws in case your friends are reluctant to address them directly. Admit to your mistakes to show that you are more concerned with improving yourself and your friendship rather than just “looking good.”  Laugh at yourself to diffuse tension and prove that you are empathetic enough to see yourself through your friends’ eyes. ” Throwing your friends parties or making other grand gestures from time to time will...

Rest the bottom of the cupcake in the palm of your non-dominant hand. Keep your hand steady so that the cupcake does not topple over.  Note that this method can also be referred to as the “gentleman style” or “hamburger style.” It is a convenient and relatively mess-free alternative that creates an even ration of frosting to cake. This method works with any standard cupcake but does not work well with filled cupcakes. Grip the center of the cupcake from the bottom using your dominant hand. Dig into the cupcake with your fingernails, twisting it gently simultaneously. Continue until the bottom breaks free from the top. Note that it may be easier for you to use a knife to cut the cupcake in half. This can be done by placing the cupcake on a plate and sawing the top from the bottom with a knife. A plastic knife or other dull kitchen knife will work sufficiently well. Turn the bottom half of the cupcake upside-down so that the cut portion now faces downward. Place the bottom half over the top half and press it down into the frosting. Press well to secure the two halves together, using the frosting as an adhesive. Eat the cupcake by biting into as you would do with a sandwich or hamburger. Watch out for any stray frosting. If your press too tightly as you eat, frosting may squirt out from in between the two cake layers.

Restaurant managers work on their feet, and you want to make sure that you always pay attention to the small details while you are working.  Maintain a positive attitude, and don’t allow your stress to show during the work day. If one of your employees asks you a question, give a definitive answer with authority. As a manager, you will be the one to deal with any customer issues that arise. Even if a customer makes unreasonable demands, treat them with kindness and respect.  In correcting mistakes, be gracious. For example, if a take out order gets messed up, let the guest know they can have a free dessert the next time they come to the restaurant. Even if you are primarily working on the financial and personnel side of the restaurant, make sure you maintain a detailed knowledge of food and the dishes on the menu.  You need to be a resource both for front and back of house staff. If a customer asks you about a dish, you need to be able to respond professionally with clear knowledge. As a manager, you have the ability to make decisions and change the way things are done at the restaurant.  Take time to visit other restaurants in your city and other places you travel. Make note of things you like about them. Don’t be afraid to incorporate new ideas and ways of completing tasks in the routine at your restaurant.

Retailers and hardware stores typically sell plywood for framing and home use, in 8x4 foot (2.43x1.22 meter) sized pieces. You can also use leftover plywood that you have from a housing project, or you can contact a lumber or hardware store to see if they have extra scraps they are willing to give away for free.  If the plywood is cut to a slightly different size like 9x3 feet (2.74x0.91 meters), it's still suitable to use for your beer pong table. The average cost of a cheap, 8x4 foot (2.43x1.22 meter) piece of plywood can be anywhere from $13 to $20.  If the sales associate tries to get you to buy a more expensive type of plywood say, "I'm only using this as a beer pong table. Give me your cheapest stuff because I don't need a high-quality plywood." Place your plywood over a table or countertop. Longer tables work best because the plywood has something to rest on, rather than floating in the air. If you have a thicker or heavier plywood, there will be less of a chance of it tipping over and falling.  Advise people not to lean or stand on the beer pong table because it can quickly collapse. Fold up tables or dining room table tops are usually the most commonly used beer pong tables. You must make sure that your plywood is steady on top of the table or it may topple over. Use duct tape to attach the plywood to the table by wrapping it around the table and your piece of plywood. Use as many pieces of tape that you need until your table feels secure to the table.  You can also place heavy objects in the center of the table to hold it down. Do not use an expensive table when doing this because the duct tape could pull away some of the table's finish. To test the security of your table, softly push down on either end of the table to see if it tips over. Waterproofing your table will prevent the plywood from becoming damaged if beer or other liquids get spilled on your table. Go to the hardware store or look online for waterproofing sealants, stains, or paints that you can purchase. Once you get them, apply a thin...

Retin-A products are typically applied at night, as the vitamin-A compounds they contain are photosensitive and will make your skin much more sensitive to sunlight. Applying the product at night also gives it a chance to absorb into the skin fully.  If you do decide to apply Retin-A products during the daytime, make sure you apply a sunblock afterward and keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Also double-check that your chosen product won't break down when exposed to sunlight; while most newer formulas stay intact, many older formulas do not.  When you begin Retin-A treatment, your doctor will probably recommend that you only apply it every two to three nights. This will give your skin a chance to adjust to the cream and help to avoid irritation. Once your skin has adjusted, you can build up to using it every night. Apply the Retin-A to dry skin, about 20 minutes after thoroughly cleansing your face. Retin-A is a very strong treatment, so it imperative that you use it correctly and only apply it in very small amounts.  At most, a pea-sized amount of cream should be used on the face, and a little more if applying to the neck. A good technique is to dab the cream on the areas most affected by wrinkles, age spots, etc., then wipe any remaining cream over the rest of the face. Many people become scared of using Retin-A because they start applying the cream too heavily and experience negative side effects such as dryness, irritation, stinging and acne outbreaks. However, these effects can be greatly reduced if the cream is applied in moderation. Due to the drying effects of Retin-A treatments, it is imperative that you always wear a hydrating moisturizer, day and night.  At night, wait 20 minutes for the Retin-A to be fully absorbed into the skin, then apply your moisturizer. In the morning, wash your face thoroughly before applying a second moisturizer containing a high SPF. Sometimes, it can be hard to spread the recommended pea-sized amount of Retin-A to all of the areas of the face where it's...

Retinoids also come in oral form and, due to the medication's relation to Vitamin A, they can reduce the production of skin cells. This helps slow the scaling and flaking associated with psoriasis.  Usually, oral retinoids are prescribed if your psoriasis does not respond to other treatment options. The main downside is that symptoms of psoriasis often return when treatment ceases.  Hair loss and lip inflammation may occur while on oral retinoids. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take oral retinoids as they can cause severe birth defects. Methotrexate tablets help reduce psoriasis by decreasing skin cell production. They also reduce inflammation.  In low doses, most patients experience minimal side effects on methotrexate. An upside to the medication is that it can stall psoriatic arthritis in some patients.  Side effects may include upset stomach, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Longterm use is not recommended, however, as severe side effects such as liver damage and decreased production of red and white blood cells can occur if the medication is used too long.  Topical application of liposomal methotrexate hydrogel is scientifically proven to be quite effective compared to conventional medication. As many oral medication carry heavy risk of side effects and cannot be used long term, injections might be an option if your psoriasis does not respond to other treatments.  Enbrel, infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira) and ustekinumab (Stelara) are all given by intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection. Usually, your doctor will only recommend such procedures if your psoriasis does not respond to other therapies and is causing arthritis.  Biologically, such treatments should block interaction between certain cells in order to reduce skin inflammation.  If you are taking these medications, you will probably be screened for tuberculosis as the meds have a strong effect on the immune system. They are usually a last resort effort and should only be used with extreme caution and under...

Retinoids are a type of topical medication derived from vitamin A. Retinoids prevent the plugging of hair follicles to reduce the occurrence of acne. Use products containing retinoids in the evenings. Start with applying it three times each week, and work your way up to daily use as your skin becomes accustomed to the medication. Dapsone (Aczone) is an antibiotic combined with anti-inflammatory medication. This gel helps treat acne by killing bacteria and keeping the pores in your skin clean and unclogged. It is often combined with a topical retinoid to maximize the effectiveness of both medications. Possible side effects include dry skin and redness/irritation. For more severe acne cases, antibiotics may be necessary to help treat current outbreaks and prevent future ones. Antibiotics are often used with benzoyl peroxide to reduce the chances of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria on your skin, and may be combined with retinoids for maximum effectiveness. Common antibiotics  combinations prescribed to treat acne include clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzaclin, Duac) and erythromycin with benzoyl peroxide (Benzamycin). Oral antibiotics may be prescribed for more moderate to severe acne to reduce the prevalence of bacteria in the body that may lead to acne. Antibiotics can also help reduce inflammation caused by acne. The most common oral antibiotics prescribed to treat acne are tetracyclines, including minocycline and doxycycline. Some women and adolescent girls with frequent acne outbreaks find that a combined oral contraceptive helps treat acne. These medications combine estrogen and progestin to deliver both contraceptive medicine and acne protection.  Three combined oral contraceptives are currently available in the United States: Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Estrostep, and Yaz.  Common side effects include headaches, tender breasts, nausea, weight gain, and periodic breakthrough bleeding, though some people experience more serious side effects like an increased risk of blood clots.

Retractable screens are common for casement windows. Some retractable screens connect to the frame via a latch, while others have a magnetic closure. Carefully pull up on the bottom edge of the screen at the closure to free it from the frame. Retractable screens can’t be opened part way, so you have to open it completely. Continue to hold the bottom of the screen as it retracts into the housing to avoid any damage. Retractable screens disappear completely into the housing at the top of the window frame to keep them out of the way. The screen usually slides back into the housing all by itself, so you can simply let go once the window is fully open. To close a retractable window screen, grip the bottom edge of the screen and gently pull it down. Keep pulling until the screen reaches the frame, then attach it to the frame via the latch or magnetic closure.

Disengage the screen from the bottom of the window frame. Roll the screen all the way up. Let go of the screen when it reaches the housing. Pull the screen down to close it.


Retrieve your first section divider and first course tab. Slip the divider into a sheet protector or three-hole punch the divider. Place the section divider followed by the first tab onto the binder’s left rings. If you want additional folder pockets without the bulk of the traditional folder, purchase tabs with pockets. In the beginning of a course, you will receive several important handouts from the teacher. You may receive a course syllabus, assignment calendar, and or style guide. Slide these papers into sheet protectors and place them at the front of the “Handouts” subsection. As the course progresses, you will receive more handouts. File these behind the other handouts in chronological order. Create an “Important Dates” sheet for each course. As the school year progresses, it often becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of important dates. Compile a list of all important assignment dates, due dates, and test dates for each course to help yourself stay up-to-date. Type or record the dates by hand and place the paper at the front of the course’s “Handouts” section. Retrieve the course’s “Notes” tab. Insert it into the binder. Behind the “Notes” tab, place 25 to 50 pages of lined binder paper or graph paper. Insert your second section divider and the course’s “Handouts” tab into the binder. Insert your handouts. Insert the course’s “Notes” tab and paper. After organizing each course, insert your “To-Do List” tab into the binder. Place the “To-Do Now” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you have to complete within the next one to two days. Insert the “To-do Later” section divider into the binder—this section will contain assignments you can complete at a later date.

Retrieve your popsicle stick and a sharp knife. Use the knife to create 2 small parallel notches (one on each side) on each end of the popsicle stick. Each notch should be approximately 2 mm long. Place the notches ½ inch from the end. Ask a parent to help you cut the notches in the popsicle stick. In order to bend the popsicle stick without breaking it, you must soften the wood. Fill a bowl with water. Place the popsicle stick in the bowl of water. Allow the popsicle stick to soak for 1 to 2 hours. It is better to over soak the popsicle stick than to under soak it. Remove the popsicle stick from the bowl of water. Starting at the center of the popsicle stick, gently bend the bow into a “C” with your fingers. Continue to curve the popsicle stick until it resembles a bow. Wrap the dental floss several times around the notches on the top of the popsicle stick. Bring the dental floss down the length of the bow on its left side to the bottom. Wrap the dental floss several times around bottom notches. Bring the dental floss up the length of the bow on its right side to the top notches. Wrap the dental floss several times around the top notches. Tie the dental floss in a knot. You may place a dab of hot glue on the knot to prevent it from untying. Retrieve several q-tips, a nail clipper, and a sharp knife. Use the nail clippers to cut off one end of the Q-tip just about the cotton swab. Cut a small slit in the bottom of the arrow with a sharp knife.

Create notches in the popsicle stick. Soak the popsicle stick. Shape the popsicle stick into a bow. String the bow. Make Q-tip arrows.


Return to clean the supply registers that you covered in paper towels not too long ago. Remove and toss away the paper towels. Lift the register. The fan will be pushing out dust. Use a vacuum hose to catch that dust before it starts to dirty up the room. Then, use the stiff-bristle paintbrush to scrub off any caked on dust. Now you're getting somewhere. Now, turn from one register to another register. The air return registers will probably be fastened, so use a screwdriver or the appropriate tool to undo them. Use a broom to sweep out the dust. Get as far back in there as possible. Then, use that same stiff-bristle brush to remove any dust buildup. Fasten the registers again when you're done. Go back to your thermostat and turn off the fan. Then, head on over to your service switch or breaker panel. Take a good look at the panel and find the switch for the furnace. Shut off the power to the furnace. Make sure that you don't turn off the thermostat. Take off the panels on the front of the furnace. This will give you access to the blower department. Use the vacuum hose to clean out the dust that has built up in the blower department and return air boot. This is where most of the dust builds up, so once you've done this, you've done the bulk of the job! If you have time, go ahead and clean the furnace fan while you're there. You may have to run out to get a new filter. A newer, better filter will definitely be worth it in the long run though. The air will be cleaner in your home with a new filter because there will be less dust, which means less worrying for you.  Keep in mind that good filters will have to be changed more often. How often you need change your filter also depends on the type of house you have, your pets, and where you live.

Reverse glass paintings must be painted from front to back (reverse painting order) because of how the image is viewed through the glass.  Keep this in mind when setting up paint colors and selecting brushes. You want to start with the small details and end with the big things. It's the opposite of how you would paint a typical painting. Use a variety of brand-name, good quality paint brushes to avoid streaking. You can go to an art store and ask the people who work there which brushes are best for your purposes. The lines are important because they will help you fill in the rest of the painting. Try using radiography pens for extra fine line work.  Use the original image as a reference to make sure that you only paint solid lines where they should be. Sometimes, you may trace lines in an image because they indicate a color break or change, but you must remember they may not be actual solid lines. Once all of the lines have been painted, wait 24 hours before continuing. This will allow the paint to dry properly and avoid smudging. You want to paint the details before you paint the foreground. You want to paint the background last.  As you paint, make sure that you avoid painting adjacent areas at the same time. If there are areas close to each other that are included in foreground but are different colors, wait for the first area you paint to dry before continuing. Placing different colors of wet paint next to each other may cause unwanted color mixture.  Allow the painted areas 24 hours to dry. Paint the medium sized areas that are larger than the detailed foreground. This is generally the main image within a painting. The “main image” should not be the small details of a painting or the background of the painting. Make sure that you wait 24 hours after you complete this section. The last area to be painted on a reverse glass painting is the large background, such as a landscape. If the background is a landscape, paint grassy areas first.  Allow drying time before doing sky and water.

Begin painting. Paint all lines first. Paint the smallest areas and details first. Paint medium areas. Paint large areas.


Reverse mortgages are a type of loan on home equity available to senior citizens. The borrower gets a loan for the value of the homeowner's equity—the equity isn't withdrawn directly. The loans are structured in the following ways:  The equity can be treated as line of credit. Like a credit card, the borrower can use the credit in the home as needed (although there may be monthly maximums). The borrower can also a monthly payment for a fixed number of years. This is called a term payment plan. Even if the value of the home decreases, you'll still get the same amount each month.  You can also opt for a tenured payment plan. This is a lot like a term payment plan, except the term lasts until the borrower leaves the home.   Even if payments under the reverse mortgage stop, the homeowner cannot be evicted from the home. There's certainly nothing to prevent you from selling your home outright and moving into something smaller. This strategy makes sense for a lot of people. Oftentimes a retiree is living in the same home where they raised their family, but with half the inhabitants. How much you spend to buy your new home will depend on how much you made on the sale of the old one. Nonetheless, try to find something as modest as possible. You want to maximize the cash you get from the sale of the home. That way, you can invest it or purchase an annuity. Even if retirement's only a few years away, investing a little bit now can add up quickly. However, all retirement accounts are not created equal.  You should invest in the following order:  Invest in 401(k)s first. Since your employer is (probably) matching your contribution up to a certain limit, this should be the first account you contribute to. Anyone over age 50 can contribute up to $24000 per year, and that doesn't count employer contributions. Invest in IRAs last. Since there's no matching employer contribution, invest in your IRAs last.

Consider a reverse mortgage. Sell your home at retirement. Make maximum contributions to any retirement accounts you have access to.


Review all of your information, and make the best possible choice that is right for you, has fulfilled your values, and seems to align with your professional goals. Then implement the choice. This is the action part of knowing what you want. This is where you start going after what you want. For example, you can go to your academic advisor or the dean and formally change your major. Then you can sign up for the appropriate classes. Sometimes knowing what you want will not be clear until you’ve tried something out. Once you’ve tried something, you can find out if it isn’t for you or if it’s a perfect match. So if you don’t know if it’s what you want, go and try it. Making mistakes is part of learning what we want and discovering what we want.  Studies show that not knowing an outcome causes more anxiety or discomfort more than knowing that the outcome will be unfavorable.  For example, if you’re still undecided about nursing or engineering, take active steps to decide which you will like. Look for internships at an engineering office to get a feel for what the work environment might be like. Ask an engineer to show you what he or she does all day. Ask questions to understand more about what the the job entails and what to expect. You can shadow a nurse and follow him or her around during the shift to see what a nurse actually does. Another possibility would be to take a class specific to engineering and at the same time volunteer at a hospital. Maybe at the end of the semester you'll find that you actually can't stand working with computers all day and that you have a knack for calming patients at your volunteering job. Even if you don't go into engineering, the class wasn't a waste of time — it helped you make a more informed decision, and you probably still learned a lot from the class. Just because you want something at one point in your life doesn’t mean you may want something different later. Periodically, go back to your choices and decide if they are still what you want. Reflect on the decision to see...

Review any surveys you've conducted, and determine how you'd like to grow your business. Compare this with any real-world obstacles, including current and projected market trends, forecasted expenses that might arise in the near future, what geographic region and demographics you have had the most success with, and any competitors who also operate in that region or target the same demographics. As you move forward with your marketing plan, you'll want to assign specific roles to everyone responsible for the marketing of your business. Determine who would be the best fit for each role within your marketing plan, and define what that role's responsibilities will be. You should also determine how you will measure success for each role's responsibilities What do you hope to achieve by building a marketing plan? Is your end goal to broaden your customer base, to let existing customers know about new services/promotions, to expand into a new region/demographic, or something else entirely? Your goals will guide the creation of your plan.  Your marketing goals should fit within your larger business goals. When developing your marketing goals, make sure your goals are tangible and measurable. Otherwise, it will be difficult to interpret your sales, and you may not be clear on what approaches and strategies were effective  Use outcomes like increased sales dollars, increased number of units sold/manufactured, increased public awareness, or number of new accounts with clients.  For example, your goal may be "Increase new contracts by 10% or increase social media presence". Your strategic plan should target all three customer prospects: cold prospects (those who don't know your business at all, reached through advertisements and direct marketing), warm prospects (those who are familiar with your business, or at least have been exposed to your ads and marketing in the past), and hot prospects (interested customers/clients who know your business and are prepared to work with you).

Review recent check stubs. Total your monthly income. The best way to determine your outgoing expenses is to only make purchases and pay bills through your bank account for a 30 day period. At the end of the 30 day period, review your bank statement to total all outgoing expenses. If you do not have a bank account, tracking your outgoing expenses may be harder and not as accurate. Sit down and write out all your monthly bill payments. Also, estimate how much money you spend in a given month on food and beverages, car maintenance, activities, and etc. Total this number and multiply by 4 to get your monthly expenses. Expenses should never be more than your income. Housing costs should account for no more than 30% of your income. 10% of your income should be saved. If either of the above strategies is not possible, then you should consider revising your budget.

Review your schedule for the week and think about when you need to wake up. Set an alarm, and try to get to bed and wake up around the same time each day. Note that older teens need 8-10 hours sleep each day, while adults between the ages of 18 and 64 need 7-9 hours.  On average, adults older than 65 need 7-8 hours of sleep each night. These sleep recommendations are averages. Depending on your own schedule and needs, you may be able to get by with less sleep. For instance, if you’re 35 and have a full-time job, try to get to bed by 11 PM and wake up by 6-8 AM. Turn on your shower so the water is steaming, but not scalding. Go through your usual showering routine, taking slow, deep breaths of steamy air while you wash and rinse yourself off. If your nose feels congested at all, the steam from the shower might help you out. If your nose is congested, you’re more likely to snore. Think about how you usually sleep each night, and figure out if you have a preference for sleeping on your back, side, or stomach. If you sleep on your back a lot, try finding a comfortable position on your side instead.  When you sleep on your back, your airway tends to get partially blocked by tongue, which leads to snoring. If you aren’t sure how you sleep each night, ask your sleeping companion for clarification. Add an extra pillow to your bed, or invest in a special pillow that lifts your head several inches or centimeters from the bed. Use this pillow arrangement each night and see if you or your sleeping companion notice any difference.  You can also manually raise the head of your bed if you don’t want to sleep on an extra pillow. If your head and neck are on a slight incline, you may not be as likely to snore. Check your local pharmacy for nasal strips or a nasal dilator, which can help you breathe more easily through the night. Place nasal strips on the bridge of your nose, or secure a nasal dilator to your nostrils. Keep either device on your nose throughout the night, and see if you notice a difference! These products...

Develop a regular sleep schedule. Take a hot shower before getting ready for bed. Try sleeping on your side instead of your back. Prop up your head by 4 in (10 cm). Use nasal strips or an external nasal dilator to open your airways. Set up a humidifier so you’re not breathing in dry air. Dust your bedroom to lower your risk of snoring. Switch to a new pillow after every 6 months.


Reviewing your progress should make you aware of any minor or major obstacles to meeting your long-term goals. What's important to realize what the underlying cause is and to address it. Inaction will only set back your efforts.  Try to get to the bottom of any issues. What is the cause? Be honest with yourself. Say that you have not been saving enough. Is it an income issue – are you not making enough money? Or are you spending too much? Maybe it is an issue of time, and you need to put in more hours. Resolve to do what it takes to accomplish your goals. If you are facing a major obstacle, re-evaluate your plan and try to adjust. Some things are beyond our control. You may face illness, job trouble, or family issues that hamper your long-term vision. Focus instead on what you can control. There is a good chance that you’ll have setbacks on the road to your dreams. While discouraging, you shouldn’t let this derail you. It is important to be flexible and to adjust. Adaptable people are able to take control, find alternatives, and to move past setbacks.  First of all, don’t panic. Failure may be difficult but it is not the end of the world. Remember to have reasonable expectations and try to look for the opportunities that arise from a setback. Adjust accordingly. Say that your original dream did not pan out. You don’t have enough money to retire early at 50. But can you compromise? Can you work part-time for ten or fifteen more years, saving more money? By then you’ll still be well-off and at a normal retirement age. Keeping a backup plan is a good idea. Hopefully you will have worked out different scenarios and tried to anticipate setbacks. Having a clear Plan B in place is smart. Can you continue to work? Will a career change help you to meet your goal? Consider a setback a way to learn. Highly motivated people are able to use failures to learn, to adjust, to grow, and to move forward. Try to do likewise and to take the most out of your setbacks.  Assess what went wrong. Look first at your planning. Did you...

Revise your profile and edit out all depressing or downer material. Most people are not looking for a partner in misery. It helps to focus on what you do want, not on the deal breakers. Tell your readers that you “love hiking and being outside” not that you “hate the indoors.”  Don’t discuss your ex in your profile. Nothing kills a romantic mood quicker than rehashing the past. These are all conversations that can take place if your relationship progresses.  Don’t write about how you are so surprised to be considering online dating. This can come off as dismissive and superior to those folks who are considering it a viable option (which includes you at this point!). The goal is generally to meet up with someone so if you lie it will eventually catch up to you. Look for someone who accepts you as you are, not some fantasy version of you. Provide an accurate age or age range. Include recent photos on your profile. Posting an online dating profile can make you feel vulnerable and some people respond to this by pushing aside modesty. Try to avoid the appearance of bragging in your profile, especially regarding your personal appearance. Write about your hobbies without overly praising your own abilities too. You might say, “I find that playing the piano is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. I’m actually pretty good at it too.” Unless you are after a one-night stand and nothing more, be very cautious about how you employ sexual references. Everything from your online handle to your hobbies could be interpreted the wrong way unless you closely edit them. It is not good if your final profile reads like an old-fashioned dating ad. Even if you like long walks on the beach, you may want to leave that for a later conversation. Focus instead on what makes you stand out from the crowd. Instead of saying that you enjoy eating with friends perhaps mention your favorite restaurant and dish. Or, recount a favorite dining story. “I will tell you later” comes across as more lazy than mysterious. Fill all of the blanks...

Focus on the positive. Stay honest. Be confident, not arrogant. Use sexual innuendos sparingly. Avoid clichés like the plague. Leave nothing blank.


Rewards are an important part of changing habits. You need to reward yourself every time you do a good job controlling your smile.  Tell yourself that you did a great job. It even helps to say this out loud once you’re alone. Physically pat yourself on the back. It may seem silly, but it’s actually effective. You can give yourself a more tangible reward, if you like. You can take yourself out for a nice meal or buy yourself something as a gift. No one is going to change their habits perfectly right off the bat. Accept the fact you’ll probably still smile inappropriately sometimes. Don’t beat yourself up when you slip.  Being too hard on yourself is likely to make you even more uncomfortable in tough situations. That can create a cycle of discomfort that will lead to you smiling when you don’t want to. Say positive affirmations to yourself, such as, “That was a good try. Next time, I’m going to do even better.” There are conflicting thoughts on how long it takes to break and reform habits. However, everyone can agree that it doesn’t happen overnight. It may take anywhere from three weeks to three months of consistent work. If you’re doing very well with changing your habit, you can practice with more scenarios and ones that are more challenging. Make sure you keep allowing yourself to smile when you actually should! Smiling is a huge way that people convey comfort, affection, and attraction. Don’t retrain yourself so much that you lose the ability to smile in an uncontrolled way.  When you’re around someone who you are attracted to but don’t want them to know it, you may want to control your smile. However, if it would be okay for them to think that you like them, let yourself smile! They will likely feel more comfortable around you. Even in difficult situations, smiling and laughing are ways people often deal with grief and trauma. It’s perfectly okay to smile or laugh at a funeral or other somber occasion, as long as you’re not being rude or inconsiderate.

Congratulate yourself when you don’t smile inappropriately. Stay positive even if you mess up. Continue to practice until you successfully change your habit. Let yourself smile when it is appropriate.


Rezoning your agricultural land for use as a wedding venue is only the start. Before you can host events, you may have to make various improvements on your property so it complies with safety and accessibility regulations.  Safety and liability are important concerns, especially if you're incorporating a structure such as a barn. Make sure your liability insurance is up to the task of protecting you if someone is injured at an event. Narrow bridges or steps may cause accessibility concerns. You may have to build additional entries that are accessible for wheelchairs and other disabled guests. Parking also should be a concern. The size of event you can host may well be determined by the number of cars you can accommodate. You may want to consider paving a parking area, as rain can cause inhospitable conditions for wedding guests forced to park in a gravel lot of a field. If you're using a structure, have a fire marshal or other inspector certify the number of people you can safely host in the structure and ensure other regulatory requirements are met. You may need other licenses to host weddings, depending on the rules where your property is located. The types of gatherings you plan to host also may play a factor.  For example, if you plan on hosting receptions at which alcohol is served, you may need a permit to serve alcohol on your property. You may need other permits for late-night gatherings or if the wedding party wants to have a bonfire or set off fireworks. Review the list of licenses in your area and apply for the ones you want. If there are some you'd rather not deal with, make a note to include it as a restriction in your contract. Before you start booking events, you need a basic contract that outlines the terms and conditions of renting your property. This contract should incorporate any restrictions that are defined by the size of your property or local regulations.  If you don't have certain licenses, your potential clients should understand that those things are not permitted if they want to...

Rhinoplasties are fairly common medical procedures in the United States and you are likely to find a number of qualified surgeons in your area that can conduct the surgery.  Meet with the surgeon to discuss your medical history and whether or not you are a good candidate to undergo the rhinoplasty procedure. You may have a medical reason to pursue surgery, such as obstruction of the nasal passages. Signs of obstruction include a feeling of fullness, stuffiness, congestion, or complete blockage. Straightening your nose may correct impaired breathing and structural deficits of the nose, and may even improve your sleep. Septoplasty is the definitive treatment for those with deviated nasal septum. Before you can undergo the procedure, your doctor will conduct a complete physical examination to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo surgery and that the procedure will actually benefit you.  The doctor will likely run a series of blood tests to ensure you are healthy enough for the procedure. The doctor will look at the thickness of your skin and the strength of the cartilage in your nose in order to determine what affect they may have on your results. As is the case with any surgery, rhinoplasty procedures are not without risk.  You should be well aware of what could possibly happen and make sure you understand the likelihood of such complications.  Ask your doctor to discuss the following possibilities with you:  Recurring nosebleeds Difficulty breathing through your nose Pain, discoloration or numbness in your nose Before agreeing to a surgical procedure, ensure you and your doctor are on the same page regarding what the procedure entails and what you can expect as a result.  Your doctor may inform you of limitations in the procedure or other elements that may play a role in the appearance of your nose.  In some situations, the doctor may bring up the possibility of making a change to your chin as well, as smaller chins can draw attention to the nose.

Rich moisturizing creams are generally favored as a home treatment for stretch marks. Have a trusted friend or spouse help you apply the moisturizer on your back, focusing on the area with stretch marks. If you cannot get someone to help, you can purchase a long-handed lotion brush from most drug stores or home goods stores.  While there is little scientific data backing the efficacy of moisturizing creams, many people with stretch marks report fading after a few weeks to a few months. Those with stretch marks report particularly beneficial results from thick moisturizing lotions such as body butters with ingredients such as collagen, shea butter, or cocoa butter. Moisturizers are claimed to be more effective when the stretch marks are new, and still a bright red or purple color. Tretinoin is commonly used to treat stretch marks and scars such as those caused by acne. Generally, a topical tretinoin cream will be prescribed by a doctor. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and let them know that you are interested in trying a tretinoin treatment.  Tretinoin is not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tretinoin is generally applied as a topical cream, and can be applied on the back using hands or a lotion brush. Lower dosage retinoid creams can be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies and markets. Their diluted formulas may compromise their efficacy, though. One of the most effective home treatments for stretch marks is simply allowing them to fade. Help your stretch marks by making sure you put sunscreen on them whenever they may be exposed to sunlight, and just allow them time. Some stretch marks may never disappear completely, but over the course of a few months to a few years, they can drastically decrease in visibility.

Ride waves with certified lifeguards around, especially when you are first learning. Bodysurf with a friend or family member, whenever possible, so that you have someone looking out for you if anything goes wrong. Scan your surroundings before you try to catch a wave. Make sure that there's no one in your way, and that you aren't in anyone else's way. If someone else is already riding a wave, then it's up to you to get out of the way. Don't try to "drop in" on anybody. This applies to board surfing as well as bodysurfing. To get out of the way of someone who's already surfing: paddle hard in a direction perpendicular to the person's path. Dive deep under the water if you can't get out of the way in time. Go bodysurfing with a friend or family member who already knows how. Don't be too proud to ask for help! If you don't want to ask, then you can at least watch other people catch waves. Keep an eye on their form and their timing. Try to copy their motions until you get it right. Watch videos of people bodysurfing. Search the Internet for bodysurfing videos to get a feel for the process of catching a wave.

Ride your bike around immediately to see if the seat height works for you. Your legs should rest comfortably on the pedals but shouldn’t bend too much or stretch too much. Make minor adjustments right away since you already have the necessary tools out. You might want to tweak the seat height or seat tilt somewhat after you’ve ridden around for a week or so. Oftentimes, a seat will feel uncomfortable if you haven’t ridden your bicycle in a while and you go on a long ride. When your body is more accustomed to riding, you should consider checking your seat height again. Your ideal seat height might be higher than you originally thought. If you raise your seat and all of a sudden it’s easier to ride, then it’s likely your seat was too low. While riding around, your bike seat may move fractionally, especially if you have a lower quality or older bike. You can keep adjusting your seat every time you ride. As you keep doing this, you’ll find the quickest and easiest procedure and it won’t take you much time at all. It will also ensure you have a comfortable ride, especially if you are going for a long or strenuous ride.

Try out your seat’s new height. Continue to make minor adjustments over the next week. Don’t be afraid to adjust the seat for every ride.


Riding a train, such as the primary carrier Amtrak, to your vacation depends a lot upon the length of your vacation. Train travel is much slower than flying. It has its perks, though – you get to see a lot along the way, you have more elbow room, the seats are designed to recline back pretty far with a kick-up leg rest for a good night’s sleep and many trains have sleeping cars. Amtrak has a variety of vacation packages, but if you’re riding it to travel to your destination alone you can also take advantage of certain deals.  You typically get the best rates if you book your ticket 1-2 weeks in advance. With that said, you can save 25% on Amtrak tickets by using its SmartFares deal. The downside is that you must use the ticket within 1-2 weeks of purchasing.  Other 10-20% everyday discounts include those for children, seniors, veterans, military personnel and their families and AAA members. Driving to your vacation spot is also largely dependent upon where you intend to go. But it also may be that your vacation is a road trip with stops along the way. Either way, driving can become expensive, though there are some tricks to keep down costs. Your best bet for cheap gas is at truck stops or travel center chains, like Petro, Flying J and Love’s. Another option is getting a credit card from a major gas station chain, which will give you discounts on gas.  When driving, the slower the better in terms of gas mileage on the highway. Gas mileage rapidly declines over 55 mph. Make sure your tires are always properly inflated to prevent blowouts and to increase gas mileage. Try to avoid buying food and drinks every time you stop for gas or to go to the bathroom. Buying fast food adds up quickly, too. Instead buy and pack food and beverages. Again, deciding to take a bus to your vacation is greatly impacted by how far you’re going. It’s also a decision often based upon how much money you have. Riding the bus is pretty cheap. While buses haven't had the best reputation for awhile, many bus lines have taken steps to...

Rifles, sometimes called "long guns," are most commonly used for hunting purposes and sport shooting, and make excellent guns for beginners. Rifles are the most accurate style of gun, due to the "rifling" spiral of the barrel, which is long enough to result in very accurate shots. Modern rifles are accurate and effective for very long distances, depending on the style of rifle and the caliber of the ammunition used. Whatever your reasoning for wanting a gun, a rifle is a smart purchase. . The caliber of a rifle refers to the size of the diameter of the barrel, and the corresponding ammunition used in the gun. While there will be a variety of different ammunition styles within a given caliber, the caliber itself will tell you much about the shooting power of the gun. Most rifles owned by are either .22 or .30 caliber. .22 is the most common caliber of rifle sold for beginners. It's a relatively small caliber, with low recoil and high accuracy, but still powerful enough to use for hunting small game. If you want to hunt deer or larger game, a larger caliber (.30) is more appropriate for the gun to be humane and effective. The style of rifles varies mostly in regard to how the rifle is loaded and how ammunition is advanced into the chamber to be fired. Partly aesthetic and partly practical, the choice is ultimately up to you. There's no "correct" choice.  Bolt-action rifles require you to retract a side-mounted bolt to eject each spent cartridge, and then advance a new cartridge into the chamber by racking it back forward. Semi-automatic rifles use the force of each shot to expel the spent shell and advance a fresh shell into the chamber without the need of doing anything manually. Each time you pull the trigger, the gun should fire until the magazine is empty. Hybrid models, repeating rifles, lever action rifles, and many other varieties are also available, if slightly less common than the standard bolt-action and semi-auto. Shop around and try out more obscure guns to suit your purposes. . A rifle is only as...

Right after planting, water the seeds well to help them settle into the soil. Because peas are prone to rot, don’t water them again for another 10 days, until they germinate. After 10 days, water the peas deeply once a week until they start to flower. Check the soil every couple of days to make sure it hasn’t dried out. When the soil starts to dry out, water immediately. Peas like to climb, and even with low-growing varieties, harvesting will be easier if the vines are supported on a trellis or stake structure. There are a few options you can choose, including placing stakes between the rows, building or buying a pre-made trellis and planting it between the rows, or even placing tomato cages between the rows. When the pea plants reach a height of 2 inches (5 cm), spread a layer of straw or chopped leaves over the soil. This will keep the soil moist and cool, and prevent weeds from growing in the garden bed. As the plants continue to grow, you can add more mulch if necessary. Any weeds that do happen to spring up in the area should be removed carefully by hand. Pea roots are fairly delicate, so you want to avoid digging in the garden bed. Instead, grasp the weeds by the base and pull them from the soil, roots and all, to eliminate competition. As soon as the peas start to blossom, keep a close eye on the soil and water daily if necessary. The peas will need more water at this stage to produce flowers and pods, especially if the weather is starting to get warmer.

Water thoroughly after planting and weekly thereafter. Place a trellis or stake between the rows. Apply a layer of mulch to the soil when the plants are established. Weed the area by hand. Water the peas more often when they start to flower.


Right after the fry are born or are introduced into the tank, feed them. Your local aquarium shop might have food made especially for fry. Otherwise, you can use baby brine shrimp or a high quality flake food that is ground into a powder.  Regular flake food may be too large for the fry to handle. Use a coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle to grind up your regular fish food into a powder that is more manageable for the fry. Keep to a regular feeding schedule. Feed your fry small amounts of food, about a pinch at a time, several times a day. To make it easy, feed the fry immediately before or after you eat. Clean any uneaten food from the tank. Use a net or a skimmer to get powdered food off of the surface of the water. Even with a filter, you want to change the water regularly to ensure the health of your fry. Try to use some water from your standard aquarium when you change out the fry’s water in order to acclimate them to their eventual home. Look to change about twenty percent of the tank’s water every day. That means that if you have a 10 gallon aquarium, you want to take two gallons a day out and replace them with two gallons of water from your regular aquarium. It will take around one to two months for your fry to grow large enough to be introduced into your standard aquarium. The fry should be larger than the mouths of an adult molly fish. Do not move the molly fry until you are sure they are ready to handle your larger tank. Moving the fry prematurely may cause tension between the fry and your other fish.

Feed the fry. Change the water. Watch their growth.

Right off the bat, you can start by saying thank you for the award or honor you're receiving. An acknowledgement of why you're giving the speech is the most natural way to start. Your expression of gratitude will set the tone for the rest of your speech. As you decide exactly what you want to say, take the following factors into account:  The type of honor you're receiving. To give thanks for an award or professional honor, say something like "I'm so honored to be here tonight, and grateful to be the recipient of this award." The formality of the event. If it's a more casual event, like an anniversary party thrown by your friends and family, your expression of thanks can be a bit warmer. For example, you could say "I can't express how grateful I am to have all of you here with us tonight." This gives you an opportunity to go a little deeper and make the people who are responsible for giving you award feel good. Whether you're being honored by your company, another organization or people you know well, take few minutes to express your sincere regard for them.  If you're being honored by your company, talk about the great work the organization does, and what it pleasure it is to work there. If you're receiving an award from an outside party, like an arts organization awarding you for a film you directed, talk about how honored you are to be recognized by such a great organization. If you're giving a speech to thank friends and family for honoring you, say a few words about what a special group of people you're lucky to have in your life. In a thank you speech, it's charming to tell an anecdote or two about something that happened leading up to the honor you're receiving. Since thank you speeches are often given at dinners and festive events, saying something to keep the mood light and bring smiles to people's faces will be appreciated.  You could tell a story about a funny mishap that happened during a big project you worked on, or an obstacle you had to overcome to accomplish your goals. Try to bring other...

Ring the base of the stem with mulch and keep the mulch off the trunk of th tree. Keep weeds down and trap water in the ground all at once. Replenish as needed to maintain a consistent cover.  If using wood chips, avoid those from black walnut trees, which contains elements that could inhibit your pine tree’s growth. Create a well in the soil around the trunk if the weather is hot and dry. It will help keep water near the tree. Protect your seedling from too much direct sunlight. If the area isn’t already adequately shaded, erect a sheet of plywood roughly 2’ x 3’ (60 x 90 cm) between the seedling and the afternoon sun, when it’s usually at its most intense. Paint or seal the wood first to prevent water damage. Other materials, like cheese-cloth or some plastics, may reduce the amount of sunlight it receives, so use those if that’s all you have. But since they won’t block it entirely, opt for wood if possible. Test the soil underneath your mulch for dryness. If the soil is dry enough to crumble apart in your hand, add water. If the soil already feels moist, the tree should be fine as-is. Avoid over-watering, which could drown the roots.  Exact water needs will vary depending on the type of pine tree, the amount of direct sun it receives, the time of year and climate, and other factors. Contact a local nursery for more precise advice for water needs in your region. If you have a lot of wildlife in your area, consider your seedlings at risk of being eaten or trampled. Favor physical barriers over repellants. Use chicken-wire to fence in the area and/or fit a plastic tube over the exposed seedling. Alternatively, to kill two birds with one store, simply install a plywood sunscreen around all sides. seasonally. Remove dead and/or lower branches in the fall or winter as the tree grows.
