As you cook, use your tongs to keep the charcoals together, as solitary briquettes will quickly lose heat and do little to keep your fire going. You do not want them so well packed that they can't get air, but you also don't want them separated like many little islands.There are two styles of charcoal placement, depending on how you plan to cook:   Even Grilling: Coat the entire bottom surface of the grill with two layers of charcoal. This allows the whole grill to reach a consistent, even temperature. If you're cooking food quickly and don't need any indirect heat (for large, slow-cooking cuts of meat), this is the way to go.  Two-Zone Grilling: Shuffle all of the charcoals into an even pile on half of the grill, leaving the other half bare. This lets you cook foods quickly, directly over the charcoals, but also allows you to cook slower cuts by indirect heat on the opposite side of the grill. You can also keep already cooked food warm, on the empty side of the grill, or smoke them with grill top on. Don't wait until you're almost out of briquets to add more. Instead, add 5-10 pieces of charcoal when you have roughly half of your charcoals remaining, usually every 30 minutes. Wait 5-10 minutes while the new charcoal ignites and begins to get a white/gray coat on the outside before you resume cooking. If you feel like you need more coals, add them. More coals mean a hotter burning grill. Add slowly, putting on 5-6 at a time, until your grill reaches your desired heat. The more air you get to the fire, the hotter it will cook, so opening the vents is key to a hot, strong burning charcoal fire. The more oxygen you give to the flames. the hotter your grill will be. If you need to control the temperature, close one or both of the vents partially. Closing both of them at once can suffocate your fire and extinguish it. Closing the upper vent is also useful for smoking, as it lowers the temperature of the fire and traps the smoke in the grill around your food. There is a small lever that lets you open and close the...

Pack your charcoals together for strong, direct heat. Add coals regularly to keep your grill burning hot. Keep the top and bottom vents open to get the hottest temperature. Empty the ash frequently. Adding hardwood charcoal for added flavor and greater heat.


As you do this, be sure to support your baby's head and neck. If you so choose, place a burp cloth over your and your baby's thighs to catch any spit. Support your baby's front chest with your hands and their neck and head with your fingers. This will make sure that your baby is in a secure position and their upper extremities are supported at all times. There are several ways you can try to elicit a burp from your baby, although it might take several minutes until they need to. They include:  Patting. Pat very lightly, using mostly wrist action, not the full force of your arm. Rubbing. Rub using circular motions. Bouncing. Lightly bounce your baby making sure that his or her neck is fully supported. Your baby may struggle to burp once, or may burp several times in the course of a feeding. It all depends on their individual constitutions.

Rest your baby on your thigh in a sitting position. Pat, rub, or lightly bounce your baby until he or she burps. Finish feeding your baby after they burp.


As you do, there will be a cutscene. Watch it and be ready for an epic battle. The Kryll will protect RAAM for a while, until you shoot him with the torque bow. Use the Torque Bow to get all that Kyrill off him. When the arrow explodes, the Kryll will scatter, leaving RAAM vulnerable. Now is the time to pop in a few headshots with the longshot rifle. RAAM will repeatedly get close to you, so when he does, jump over your cover and hightail it to the other side. He may send his Kryll after you but don't worry, if you stay in the light, they can't hurt you. Repeat as necessary. RAAM will try to shoot you but he is likely to miss. If he doesn't, find cover fast.

Leave the room. Expect RAAM to appear, accompanied by the Kryll and wielding a troika turret in one hand. Try to hit him in the face or head with the sniper to deal extra damage. Once he gets right in front of you, jump over the barrier and run all the way to the other end of the train. Repeat step until he dies.


As you enter into high school, begin to consider whether or not you have the right personality to enter into a medical profession. You will need to thrive under pressure and to enjoy managing crises. You will need the ability to concentrate for long periods of time and to master great amounts of information. If you are curious about becoming a surgeon, you can also look at various texts that discuss a surgeons' personality and profile. For example, the American College of Surgeons sells a variety of guidance texts online. Even at the high school level, try to see if your school offers a mentorship program that could pair you up with a surgeon for a day or longer. Shadowing a surgeon in their work environment may help you to understand the benefits and negatives of their unique position. Some high schools also offer summer camps tailored to specific professional goals. Make sure to sign up for classes that demonstrate your interest in math and science, such as biology, chemistry, and calculus. You may also want to take communication courses so that you'll be able to communicate clearly with your patients, peers, and superiors.  Taking extra classes at the AP or advanced level is always a good idea, as it will leave you with more flexibility in college. Try to do your best in all of your classes as your final scores will help to determine which college program you can enroll in. It may also impact the degree of financial aid that you receive. If you are unable to complete high school on the traditional schedule, you may be able to take the GED (General Education Development) exam instead. Medical schools generally don't require a particular college major in order to apply. However, you will want to cover the basic prerequisites while in college. At minimum, you will need a year of biology, physics, English, and two years of chemistry. This goes for most international programs, too.  Try to space out your difficult math and science courses over a period of four years to avoid getting burned out early on....

As you enter traffic, it's important to not rely solely on your mirrors if you can. Of course, your blind spots are in slightly different places on a bus. Once you put on your turn signal, wait a few seconds before merging, to give other drivers a chance to honk if you don't see them.  When you're merging left, your blind spot is near the back of the bus on the left side. Make sure you move your whole head and body to see around people to check out the back and sides and to see all you can in mirrors. Before merging, make sure you have 1 1/2 bus lengths between you and the next vehicle. Most states have a law about school buses and train tracks. In other words, you must stop, open the door, and look to see if anything is coming on the tracks. Usually, you must take this precaution even if you have no passengers on the bus.  You'll need to turn on your hazard lights before breaking, as cars might not expect you to stop. Stop close enough to get a clear view, but try not to stop within 15 feet or so. Stay stopped if you see a train coming. Don't try to race the train. If you don't see a train, proceed across the tracks. Avoid backing up whenever possible, as it's always safest to go forward on a vehicle like a bus. However, when you must go backward, it's best to get someone to help you, if someone is around. Have them stand where you can see them, and then they can help guide you into place.  Before backing up, honk your horn. Also, turn on your hazards and the audible signal that indicates you're backing up. Only back up in a straight line. Reverse the bus, and move back slowly until the person tells you to stop. If no one is around, use your mirrors to guide you. Remember that a bus is very heavy. It can weigh as much as 9 tons with no one even on it. With a full bus, it can weigh as much as 15 tons. That means that it's going to take you much longer to stop in a bus than it would in a car.  Downshift to 4th gear when you've slowed below 30. Press the clutch in as you are stopping. Slowly ease down on the...

As you fall asleep, try to think of an image or concept that causes fear or anxiety. If you attempt this every night, you have a good chance of dreaming about the subject of your thoughts. You may be able to make your dreams or nightmares beneficial if you have a problem to solve that is causing you anxiety; your brain may continue to "work on" the problem while you sleep, possibly providing insight during a dream. While inducing a nightmare on a given night may be helped by moderate sleep disruption, repeating that day after day may greatly reduce the number of dreams you have. Stay well-rested, and you will spend more time in the deeper, restful REM period of sleep, in which most lengthy dreams occur. REM is short for Rapid Eye Movement, which describes the behavior of people sleeping during this period of sleep. Instead of getting up immediately, lie awake and try to remember or "replay" your dreams. If nothing comes to mind, try to examine your own emotions. If you wake up anxious or exhilarated, focusing on those feelings may help you remember a nightmare. Every human dreams each time they fall asleep for an extended period of time, but many of these dreams go unremembered. Try to write your dreams in a notebook by your bed as soon as you wake up, before you forget them, to help them stick in your memory. Write down any dreams you remember, not just your nightmares, as the habit may help you remember later dreams. . In a lucid dream, the dreamer is aware that she is dreaming. This often results in a more vivid or memorable dream, and sometimes, but not always, allows the dreamer to shape the course of events to some extent. While there are many ways to encourage lucid dreaming, you can start with two simple steps:  Focus on the concept of dreaming as you fall asleep, or about a particular topic to dream about. Choose the same topic each night for at least two weeks. Look for "reality checks" during the dream and your waking hours. Many people find that clocks or text in dreams can't be read clearly, or...

As you gain more and more experience, you can charge more and more – whether it’s per word, per piece, per hour, etc. Keep your rates competitive and similar to those that match your experience. Make sure you’re charging a reasonable price for the times, too. Back in 2008, when the economy wasn’t doing so well, many translators saw a dip in the prices they could charge that people were willing to pay. Make sure your rates match the times, the industry, and your experience. Computer Aided Translation (CAT) tools are a must for every translator or interpreter – and no, Google Translate doesn’t count. It’s a good idea to install the free Open Source CAT tool OmegaT (along with the free Open Office suite) for any projects you plan on working on. Unfortunately, many out sources much prefer to work with the TMs produced by Trados, which is quite expensive. If and when you are able, consider upgrading your software to make work that much easier. You’re going to find that translating to your native language is a whole lot easier than translating to your second language. That’s because each work is going to require some topical vocabulary that you likely don’t have in your second language or that you’re going to have to do a bit of research about – which is generally quicker to do in your native tongue. You can see here why it's doubly important to know the ins and outs of your own language, too. Successful translating is easiest when you're doing to your native language about a topic you know like the back of your hand. Let's say a company contacts you and wants you to a translate a piece on farming machinery used in the American Midwest in the late 1800s or work on a piece devoted to the freezing of human oocytes. Odds are that work is going to be the one you keep putting off and the one that takes forever to complete because you've got to make sure every word is correct. Instead, stick to your niche. You'll be better at it in addition to feeling better about your work. Always try to expand your field of expertise,...

As you gaze at your subject, relax your eyes. Pick a spot to stare at, staring for 30 to 60 seconds. Focusing on the areas in your peripheral vision, let your eyes fall a little out of focus. You may start to see a haze around the edges. It might seem like a transparent or white light. After a short time, this can become the color of the aura.  When you first start, focus on a small area. On a subject, it may help to look for the aura around the subject's head, using their forehead as a focal point. If you are trying to read your own aura, you can focus around your head or gaze at the tips of your fingers against white paper. In this case, use the fingernail as your focal point. If you start to see colors, they may be clear and bright, or cloudy and muddy.  Some people, especially beginners, can only see one dominant color while others may see multiple colors. The longer you work at reading auras, the more colors and variations it is possible to see. It just takes time and practice. Staring at the same spot will produce after-images that are the direct inverse of what you are actually gazing at. After-images are not auras. You'll know the difference because the after-image will appear for a short time in front of your eyes,no matter where you look. After-images are typically color paired: black and white, red and turquoise, orange and blue, yellow and violet, and green and pink. Drawing a body outline and then shading in colors around it can be a fun way of recording what you see for later analysis. It's also something to show your subject so they can relate to what you're seeing. Some colors seen in auras are hard to recreate in an artistic medium. Just get as close as you can, but describe any differences somewhere on the page.

Look at your subject. Determine visible colors. Be conscious of after-images. Record what you see.


As you get more adept at imitating your role model, you can start adding some of your own unique charm to your imitation. Make the imitation your own. For example, you admire that the person uses a lot of references when talking. Branch away from using their specific references. Make references to shows, books, and movies that you enjoy instead of simply leaning on their tastes. You want to add your own natural tendencies to the imitation. If you find yourself uncomfortable imitating some of their behavior, tweak your performance as needed to feel comfortable. For example, the person has a tendency to make big, loud jokes. While you enjoy making jokes, you don't love being the center of attention. Make jokes, but do so more quietly and with a smaller audience. If you're imitating someone you know, pay attention to their body language and overall attitude around you. If the person seems to be avoiding you, or seems impatient when talking to you, they may feel annoyed by your imitation. Not everyone likes being imitated, and it's important to respect people's boundaries. No one is perfect. Even someone you admire may have negative qualities. Do not imitate qualities like a bad temper, a tendency to be rude to others, or anything else unsavory about the person. Stick to imitating their most admirable qualities.

Add your personal eccentricities to your imitation. Adjust their behavior so it feels natural to you. Make sure you're not bothering the person. Avoid imitating negative qualities.


As you get older, age differences will not matter as much, but in high school they matter a great deal as it includes both students who are legally adults and those who are just entering puberty. Knowing that age matters ahead of time can save you from trouble and potential heartbreak in the future. In high school, there’s generally more division of social groups based on grades as well. Understand that the activities seniors engage in may be very different from what you are used to. For example, it’s common for seniors to go out and party more than freshmen. Don’t engage in any dangerous or illegal activities just to spend time around your crush. Sexual acts between a minor and someone who is legally an adult (18+) is called statutory rape. The age of consent varies from state to state but generally charges can be brought against an 18 year old if they are caught in a compromising situation with a minor so be safe and don’t break the law. Understand that this is one major drawback of dating an older person in high school. If they start pressuring you to engage in sexual acts that you are not ready for, stay true to yourself and don’t cave. If they do not respect your boundaries, it’s time to end the relationship. In terms of expectations and daily life, being a senior can be pretty different from being a freshman. After all, seniors are in their last year of high school and therefore have to prepare for the future. Oftentimes, this means that seniors are busier with college applications, job searches, testing, socializing, and more. Be prepared for and accepting of these and any other grade-related differences. Not only are there differences in terms of workload and social groups, but freshmen and seniors also differ in terms of maturity, both physical and psychological. Because of this, it may be inadvisable to get into a relationship with someone who is much older than you unless you are both sure that you’re at a similar level in terms of emotional and psychological maturity, which will lead to the two of...

As you help someone with compulsive gambling, you should meet with others who are also help recovering gambling addicts. This can help you find support you need as you deal with the person’s addiction and any negative feelings. Talk to a therapist who specializes in compulsive gambling. You can also join a support group for the family or friends of recovering gamblers. These support groups may help you learn how to process your own feelings while learning how to support and help the person. Depending on your relationship to the compulsive gambler, you may have many negative emotions to work through. You may feel betrayed, angry, frustrated, ashamed, or sad. You may have lost trust in a person you care about, and the relationship may have changed for the worse. These emotions are common when dealing with an addict. Allow yourself to process and work through the emotions. Don’t try to suppress them.  Talk to someone about it, whether it’s a friend, therapist, or family member. You may even want to talk to the person about how they made you feel. For example, you can say, “I feel very hurt by your gambling. I am ashamed that we have debt and I am angry that you stole money from me.” Consider writing your thoughts and emotions down. You can write in a journal, or you may consider writing a letter to the person. Part of moving on and recovering is accepting what has happened. Dwelling on the past will do nothing for you or the compulsive gambler. Instead, acknowledge what happened, accept that it is a fact and happened, but move on. This may mean that you forgive the person, help them get treatment, or distance yourself from the person temporarily. Don’t obsess about gambling losses or the way things could have been. That is unhealthy thought patterns. Instead, focus on the future and what can be done to make things better. Helping someone who is a compulsive gambler can be emotionally taxing.

As you hold the pants upside down, you should be able to feel how the pants fold along its natural crease. Put the pants down on a flat surface along their natural crease. Press down on the pants so that one leg lays flat on top of the other leg. To save space, you can wrap your suit jacket around your pants using this method. Place your folded up suit jacket on top of the pants and continue folding your pants around the rest of the suit. Take the bottom of the pants and fold them over, about one-third of the way to the waist. The bottom of the pant should cover your folded up suit jacket. Fold the pants again and line up the bottom of the pants with the waist. If done correctly, your pants should now be a small, neat square, with the suit jacket wrapped inside.

As you jack up a portion of the car to remove the wheel, the weight of that portion will be centered on the relatively small space beneath the jack.  As a result, it is essential that you jack your car up in an area that can support the pressure.  Concrete and blacktop are the best options for jacking up the car.  It is extremely unsafe to jack a vehicle up on an angle, so it is also very important that you choose a level surface.  Never jack up a vehicle on slanted or uneven surfaces. Jacking a car up on a surface that isn’t strong enough can cause the jack to topple over or sink. Whether you’re using an emergency jack or a trolley jack, it’s important to ensure you have enough room to work without putting yourself or others at risk.  Make sure you have at least enough room to stand with an outstretched arm toward the jack without coming into contact with a wall or being in the street if you are replacing a flat tire. Make sure there’s enough room to sit behind your jack without being in the lane of the road. If your car is equipped with an automatic transmission, it should be in park before you jack it up.  Putting your car in park prevents the wheels from turning and will keep the vehicle from rolling off of the jack.  Remember, however, your car may still shift when in park, so it’s important to utilize wheel chocks in conjunction with placing the vehicle in park.  Remember that putting the car in park will lock its drive wheels in place, so a front wheel drive car’s front wheels won’t turn in park, and vice versa for a rear wheel drive vehicle. If your car is equipped with a manual transmission, try putting the car in first gear to prevent it from rolling. You can place rocks or plastic wheel chocks purchased from an auto parts store behind the wheels to ensure they can’t turn while you lift the vehicle. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the parking brake may be a handle in the center console or a pedal on your left side when sitting in the driver’s seat.  Pull up on the handle or press...

As you narrow down the final tracks, think of the album as sculpture. Carve away the songs that don't fit your concept. Don’t focus on choosing what you perceive to be the obvious “singles” – include a wide range of songs.  Contrast is important to maintain a listener’s attention. Produce only the best of your music. Choose the songs that truly showcase your musical talent. Track sequencing has always been important, but in today’s digital music market, it’s even more so. Research has shown that the earlier a track appears on a record, the more likely a consumer is to listen to it. The first song in particular is crucial, since it sets the tone for the entire piece.  If you’re working with a very particular theme or concept, create a narrative framework. It might help to imagine that you’re composing the music for a film.  If you aren’t trying to tell a literal story, think more in terms of grouping songs together in chunks that relate to one another in a way that makes sense to you. Even if your concept/theme is more on the ambiguous side, you still want the album to be as cohesive as possible. At this point you probably already have a working title in mind, but it’s best to wait until the entire thing is compiled before committing to one. Choose a title that conveys the theme/concept you’ve been working toward. Go through your lyrics and see if anything jumps out at you as being title material.  Bands often use the title of one of the songs as the album title. If you decide to go this route, choose the song that best exemplifies the theme or mood of your album. Another popular choice is to self-title the record, especially if it’s a debut album. To self-title means to make your band’s name the record title. Consider this if you feel that the album’s themes encapsulate what your band is fundamentally all about. Studios usually charge by the hour and they are not cheap. Because of this, make sure that you’ve rehearsed the studio versions of your new songs until you have them down cold. Do as much...

As you peel the skin up toward the neck, you'll have to remove the head before the skin will come off entirely without tearing. Peel the skin back to expose the point at which the neck meets the body, and use your clippers to cut as close as possible to the body and remove the head. After you remove the skin from around the torso of the duck, the tail feathers will likely be stuck on, attached to a small ring of fat around the base of the carcass. Use your clippers to cut the feathers off, cutting right through and removing that ring of fat from the rest of the bird. There's no meat south of the rib-line of the duck, so the best way to remove the entrails is usually to cut around the base of the breast, underneath the rib, to separate the cavity with the entrails from the good meat. Run your knife up along the bottom of the breast plate, making smooth and shallow cuts. When you get to the other side, grasp the lower portion of the bird and pull firmly to remove the entrails. The intestines should come out in one clean go.  You can remove the heart and liver separately, which might stick up in the body cavity, and remove the gizzard from above. You can eat the liver if you remove the bile duct, which is greenish in color, kind of like an gel-cap pill. The heart is also edible, but somewhat small. Alternatively, some hunters prefer to remove the gizzard from the top of the duck and remove the rest of the entrails from that cavity. It's a smaller space to work with, however, and farther away from the intestines, which need to be removed with care to avoid spoilage. Examine the meat on the bird. There should be a scorched-looking section, where the pellets entered the carcass. This will need to be removed, because it will taste "off." Remove any shot from the meat very carefully, and discard the scorched meat. To finish off the dressing process, clean the meat and remove any remaining feathers and dirt stuck on. You can run the meet under some cool water, or simply clean it off with a clean towel. The loose...

As you practice inhaling outward and exhaling inward. imagine that your body is going through a transformational process. As you inhale outward, imagine your body filling up with positive power. As you exhale and your push your abdominal muscles inward, imagine that you are releasing all of the negative forces in your life. Practicing this basic technique of accepting (inhaling) positive things and exhaling (repelling) negative feelings will help clear your mind for other calming thoughts. As you are breathing, close your eyes. Imagine your feet are rooted to the core of the earth beneath you.  Pretend that your feet are sprouting roots, as if they were at the base of tree trunk. These roots connect you to all other beings in the Earth -- the soil, the air, the ocean, animals, and the sun.  You can also envision yourself as a vine growing up from the earth or a boulder on the side of the mountain. But it should be an image that anchors you to the world around you. As you breathe out and in, and imagine your feet sprouting roots, follow where the roots take you. They should go down and down, further and further into the soil until you find yourself in the center of the Earth. What does the center of the Earth look like? Is it hot, with flowing lava? You can throw any feelings of pain, frustration, anger or bitterness into the fire at the center of the Earth. After you have grounded yourself, you can then push your energy upward and outward. Imagine your torso as the trunk of a tree that grows and then forms into branches. The branches then burst into leaves in the warmth of the sun.  You can stand up for this part of the meditation if you wish. Raise your arms up above your head as if they are the main branches of the tree splitting off at the trunk.  As you raise your arms, alternate keeping your hands curled up in a ball and then stretching your fingers outward. This will help you feel more connected to the warmth and energy of the sun.

As you prepare the jars for canning, you should get your canner ready. Fill the canner with enough water to completely submerse the jars in. Position a jar rack inside the bottom of the canner to prevent the jars from sliding around. If you do not have a boiling-water canner, you can use a large, heavy stockpot instead. Make sure you still place something at the bottom of the stockpot to prevent the jars from moving around later on, though. Mix the two seasonings together evenly in a small dish. Spread equal amounts of the seed mixture into each pint-size (500 ml) jar until all of the mixture has been used. Use a wide-mouth funnel, if available, to make it easier to pack the peppers into each jar as you work. Distribute equal amounts of the peppers into each jar using a large serving spoon or measuring cup. Leave 1 inch (2.5 cm) of empty headspace in between the peppers and the top of each jar. Combine the three ingredients in a saucepan and heat them over high heat, stirring occasionally. Once the salt is dissolved and the solution has reached a boil, remove it from the heat. Use a ladle to pour the vinegar brine into the jars, covering the peppers completely and filling in any air pockets further down inside the jar. Leave 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) empty headspace. If anything got onto the rims of the jars as you worked, it is important to clean it off with a clean, damp cloth. Excess seasoning or brine could actually interfere with the lids and prevent them from sealing correctly. Two-piece metal canning lids work best. Screw the lids onto the jars, stopping once you feel resistance. Do not tighten the lids too much, since doing so can cause damage to the jars. Carefully lower the jars into the boiling water inside the canner using jar tongs. Do not allow them to bump as you move them, and do not allow them to touch once they are sitting in the canner.

As you prepare to practice or play a game that may strain your ACL, be sure to warm up fully. This should happen about 10–15 minutes before activity. Warm up with a series of stretching and exercises intended to enhance blood flow and bring oxygen to the knee joint muscles. These will also increase the flow of lubricating synovial fluid, which helps your knee joints function smoothly. Increase coordination via active stretching with exercises such as:  Moving knee pull-ups: While making your way across the gym floor or other area, flex at the hip and knee and pull your knees up towards waist height. Do approximately four sets of 10 with each leg. Moving butt kicks: Jog across the gym floor for about 20 feet while extending at the hip and flexing the knee. This will keep your hamstring engaged.  Move your feet towards your rear in a “cheerleader” style maneuver. Traditional jumping jacks. Physics that play a role in ACL injury are “ground reaction forces” (GRFs). These refer to the pressure that must be absorbed by the body when the front of the foot hits the ground. With normal walking, GRFs are equal to our body weight. When an athlete lands after a jump, the pressure may be between two to eight times his body weight. Know the proper landing technique, especially if you are a basketball player, in which you may be jumping and landing often.  Our bodies will naturally assume the proper landing technique, except at those times in competition where it is not easily accomplished due to opposing team members and high stress. Practice appropriate landing techniques so that these will be second nature to you when the adrenaline is flowing during a game. Landing on the wrong foot or landing flat-footed can increase the GRF you experience, thus increasing your chances of ACL injury. Both can increase the ground reaction force that is transmitted from the ankle to the knee.  Be sure to land on the balls of your feet. Target the muscles located on the front of your thighs in order to support your knee joints. Squats...

Warm up your muscles before exercising. Practice proper landing techniques. Strengthen your quadriceps muscles. Include hamstring exercises in your daily routine. Keep your calves strong with calf lifts. Look into using a personal trainer. Try wrapping or taping your knees for additional support.


As you prepare to schedule your filling, you will likely need to know how long the appointment is expected to last, whether or not you will have restrictions immediately following your appointment, whether you are permitted to take medications, whether you will need a ride home, any side effects you should know about, and how you should follow up. Having this information on hand well before your filling will allow you to make the necessary preparations at home. For example, you might need to:  Ask a friend or a taxi service to set up a ride home, depending on what anesthetic will be used. Purchase soft, lukewarm foods that won't aggravate your filling in the days immediately following your appointment. Arrange for time off of work to go to your appointment and recover. Note that it might be hard for you to talk normally for a few hours after you get your cavity filled. If your job requires that you speak publicly, you might want to take an extra few hours off. Consult with your physician about whether your medications might interact with your dental anesthetic. Your dentist will have to know about any chronic health problems you have, your medical history, your current medications, allergies to medicines and metals, and whether or not you are pregnant. This information is essential for your dentist to make the right decisions about your dental care. Be sure to answer all questions honestly, and tell your dentist all the relevant details about your dental and physical health. Most people have the option of getting an amalgam filling or a composite filling. There are pros and cons to each kind of filling, and the most appropriate option might depend on which tooth requires a filling and how deep your cavity is.  An amalgam filling is made up of metals, is silver in color, is usually the cheaper option, is strong and flexible, and sometimes requires the removal of healthy tooth material. Amalgam fillings are more common on the back teeth.  A composite filling is made up of a hardened resin, is often...

Ask the right questions. Talk to your dentist about your medical history. Decide what kind of filling you should get. Schedule an appointment as soon as you can. If you are a nervous patient, ask about having a morning appointment.


As you ratchet the straps down, you need to make sure the suspension is compressed fully. If it is not compressed it is possible that your straps can come loose as the bike rebounds, bouncing around from bumps and dips in the road. You don't want the first time you drive with a trailer to be the first time you've got your prized bike strapped to it, driving at highway speeds in the elements. Practice hooking up your trailer and driving around a bit to get a feel for things. Practice tight corners, driveways, and backing up specifically. Take it for a test run on a highway, at high speed. Get a sense of how you will need to adjust your regular driving habits to accommodate driving with the trailer attached. After securing the bike to the trailer, use a canvas or vinyl tarp to cover it and keep it safe from the elements, or the cover you use for your motorcycle when you park it. The tarp doesn't need to be doing any load-bearing work, so just tie it firmly down to the straps, or to the bike. It's important to go back and check all the straps and make sure they are not rubbing any parts on your bike. Also recheck the tension on the straps. On a longer trip, do a walk around every time you stop and re-check the straps again. It's always best to be on the safe side.

As you read and collect information, begin making notes about possible events to include. You will need to provide a well-rounded history of your topic, so make sure you use several sources of information.  Conduct Internet research, check out books from the library, or visit a museum or a historical site that relates in some way to your topic. Try to use multiple websites, books, articles, and maybe even a documentary. Aim to have at least 3 different sources.

As you read professional literature, newspapers, magazines, trade publications, and internet articles, be thinking about your clients. When you find an article which would be helpful to them, take the time to send them a link or a copy along with a short note explaining how you feel it will be of help or interest to them. Write a newsletter that details events, new products, and other information that the clients may find useful. At the time of signing up a client, ask for permission to send company information to their email address. That way, you have authorization to send your regular newsletter to your clients periodically. Make a plan to get in touch with each client every few months or another set period of time. Set alerts to reconnect with them on your calendar or through another method that works for you.   It may effective to reach out to clients are certain times, for example the beginning of each fiscal quarter. This way, clients will begin to expect your calls and will schedule time for you.  You can also set reminders to help you remember special occasions in your clients' lives. Send a note or card on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, children's birthdays, or graduations. For special occasions, do something that is unique to the client. For example, a birthday card might include an airplane if the client recently earned their pilot's license. Give clients souvenirs which they are likely to keep with your contact information on them. Pens are popular items, but may get lost, plus they are common. You might consider calendar magnets, novelty items such as desk games, or helpful tips on a magnet (and/or wallet-size card). People will often display inexpensive trophies. If you are a workshop leader, party planner, etc., consider presenting your client with a framed photograph of the event or certificate, which they might display at the office. Be sure your contact information appears on the item. When you give a certificate or photo to a client think about what you would like them...

As you read the book, jot down the parts that stand out to you. Mark important quotations, character developments, or other details. Include page numbers so everyone can find these parts again. Bring in your notes and use them to have a great group discussion. Asking people what they thought of the book is an acceptable starting question. Use your notes to come up with deeper questions or search online for discussion ideas. Write out a list of non-specific book questions in case discussion starts to stall Examples of non-specific questions include: "What was the book’s message?" "Who did you identify with?" "How did the characters change?" "Why did the author choose this title?" As the group leader, it’s your job to keep people engaged. Pay attention to when people seem unenthusiastic or don’t have much to say about a topic. Keeping up the energy level is important to making your group a success. People won’t come back if they feel bored. For example, ask the group about the book’s theme. If discussion is slow, say, “I thought what that character did embodied the theme” or “I really liked how the author expressed the theme by saying this.” Explain what the character did or what the author wrote. Open the floor up to the other members. Is there something about the book they want to ask? Get them involved and have them share their takes on the reading. An interesting discussion can happen because of a question you never thought of. Ask them “What did you think of this part?” or “Did anything confuse you about the reading?”

As you slowly start to establish your business, consider the professional and personal experiences you can apply to your new career path.  Do you have experience in event planning? Maybe you excel at throwing birthday and dinner parties. This is experience you can apply to being a wedding planner.   If you don’t have any real experience in planning events, you’ll likely want to get some education and experience under your belt before you start planning weddings full-time. Although there is no formal certification required to be a wedding planner, having some practical knowledge of the business can improve your chances of success.   There are many options for education as a wedding planner. You can take online courses or classes at a local college.   Wedding conferences and expos may also offer some form of training that could provide you with certification. Having a certificate showing that you’ve completed a course in wedding planning or joined an association of professional wedding planners will help legitimize you and your business in the eyes of potential clients.  Both the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners and The Association of Bridal Consultants offer certifications. Reading wedding industry publications like Brides magazine as well as popular books and magazines such as Martha Stewart Weddings will give you good pointers on wedding trends, successful wedding plans, and etiquette conventions.  It’s a good idea to read business publications, too. These will help you think about your own business structure and how to make it successful. These events will further your knowledge of wedding trends as well as successful business models.  They’ll also give you the chance to network with other wedding planners. Observing the weddings of family members and friends will give you ideas on what -- and what not -- to do in planning a successful wedding.

As you start gaining strength and building muscle, keep track of how much weight you gain, how much weight you can lift, and what exercises you do from week to week. This will help you figure out what works for your body and what doesn't, and keep you from getting into a workout rut.  If you find that a certain muscle group doesn't seem to be making significant gains, switch up your exercises to see if something else works better. Alter  your diet as necessary to help you lose fat and gain muscle. Experiment with different ratios of protein, fats and carbohydrates to find a balance that helps you achieve your weight and fitness goals. When you're in training mode, it can be hard to remember how important it is to rest between sessions. Your body needs time to repair itself after workouts. Don't push yourself too hard, or you may find yourself sitting on the couch with a pulled muscle instead of at the gym training to failure. Sleeping well is another essential aspect of gaining mass and strength in a healthy way. Try to get seven to nine hours per day.

As you start the process, find someone whom you can talk to as a confidant throughout the ordeal. This person should not be your wife or someone whose allegiance lies with your wife over you. Pick a reliable friend or relative, or hire a professional therapist.  A confidant can lend you emotional support throughout the process and guide you objectively when your emotions are clouding your perspective. Letting someone know also adds a level of safety to the entire process. You will need a place to stay after you leave home. If you cannot iron out any long-term plans, at least figure out where you can go on a temporary basis immediately after the separation occurs. The place you pick should be available to you for a few months, at least.  If you plan on staying at a friend's or relative's house, find out in advance how long you can stay there. If you plan on moving into your own place, begin shopping around for an apartment before you declare your intentions to your wife. If possible, sign the lease on your new place before you officially leave your wife. For most situations, “leave” ultimately means “divorce.” Ask yourself if this is what you expect and want to happen, or if a legal separation is a better alternative for the time being. Make a list of everything you share with your wife—money, valuables, properties, and so on. Plan out how you think these assets should be split between you after you leave.  If your financial assets are all kept in one place, you have a legal right to half of those finances. Valuables that are owned by both you and your spouse must be divided equally. Those that are specifically yours, including family heirlooms, can be counted among your goods. For the items you own jointly, make a list of those that you would be fine losing and those that you intend to fight for. You also need to find out which services are linked and which are separate. Services include things like phone and Internet plans. A service you will no longer use, like the Internet at your house, will become your...

As you start to get tired, you may notice yourself starting to lift your shoulders. Not only will this make running even more of a challenge, it will also make you look tense and uncomfortable. If you want to look good, focus on keeping your shoulders down and relaxed. It is easy to do this without realizing it, so try to remind yourself every now and then to see if your shoulders are starting to creep up. One way you can do this is by lifting your shoulders up to your ears. Then, on an exhale, let your shoulders relax as much as you can. If you are not in very good shape, or if you are getting tired, you are likely to let your feet drag lazily. However, if you want to look like good while running, you should focus on picking up your feet. You don’t have to lift them high into the air. Instead, just focus on keeping your feet energetic. Doing this will help make it look as though you have lots of energy and are really enjoying your run. When running, many people have a tendency to scrunch up their face into a grimace. Running can be very challenging, so this facial expression is understandable. However, if you want to look good, try to keep your face relaxed, and your expression friendly.  It will help if you keep your breathing as consistent and steady as possible. Take deep breaths in, and then try to breathe out in a controlled way. If your face starts to tense up, you’re unknowingly wasting extra energy. Keeping your face relaxed can help give you a little extra boost that you can put into your strides. It may be tempting to take very long strides to look as though you are running faster. However, if you want to look good while you are running, you should keep your stride a bit shorter. Don't take baby steps, but also, don’t try to stride out as though you are a gazelle. Not only will you look silly, but you will also be wasting energy. It is recommended that you have around 180 foot-strikes every 60 seconds. You can see if you are getting around this number by counting the number of times each foot hits...

As you start your prayer, make a definitive mental declaration to yourself that you are about to perform the Tahajjud. Decide that you are going to complete the Tahajjud in the specific way you have chosen, including how many rakats and which surahs you will recite. Also decide why you are saying the Tahajjud — for instance, to glorify Allah, thank Allah or ask for His forgiveness. You don't have to make this declaration out loud — Allah knows your thoughts, so your intentions will be clear to him as long as they are clear to you. The Tahajjud is typically performed by repeating multiple rakats (cycles) of Salah, the ritual that Muslims use for their required daily prayer. For the Tahajjud, the rakats are usually performed in pairs, so you'll also want to decide exactly how many rakats you intend to perform at this time. See below for more information. To begin your Tahajjud, start by performing two rakats (cycles) of Salah. Salah begins by standing and reciting verses from the Holy Quran. Then, the person praying continues by bowing low with his hands on his knees, then  prostrating on the ground with his forehead, nose, and palms on the floor and his elbows raised, sitting on his knees with his feet folded under him, and finally standing and reciting "Allahu Akbar." This description of Salah is a generalization — if you're not sure how to perform Salah properly, learn this fundamental Muslim skill before attempting the Tahajjud. Emulate the practices of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who used to recite the following surahs after each rakat in Tahajjud: After reciting the Al-Fatihah the first rakat, recite the surah "Al-Kafirun". After reciting the Al-Fatihah for the second rakat, recite the surah "Al-Ikhlas". Generally, two rakats is seen as the minimum necessary for a proper Tahajjud. However, it's possible to repeat as many more as you wish. For instance, according to the Hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad frequently prayed up to thirteen rakats. Tahajjud rakats are performed in pairs and eight rakats is seen as...

Make your intention to pray known. Perform two rakats. Repeat rakats as you wish. Add your own prayers (dua) after the rakats. Go back to bed, if you become too tired to complete the Tahajjud.


As you stride, your feet shouldn’t cross over each other in an “X,” like women's feet do when they walk the runway. Instead, the classic male runway walk is a “V” formation, in which the toes point out slightly. Try not to point your toes out too much, or you might look like you’re waddling. The “V” formation broadens the body, emphasizes the upper torso, and gives the strut a slight swing while preserving masculinity. When your foot lands, try to place the ball of your foot down first, then land your heel. It might feel weird at first, but keep your weight balanced on the balls of your feet as you walk. Keeping most of your weight on the balls of your will make your stride more elegant. While your stride needs to be longer than your normal gait, you shouldn’t look awkward or like you’re on stilts. Practicing will help you make your stride longer but appear natural instead of clumsy. As for the quickness of your step, let the music guide your tempo. Try to match your walk's rhythm to the beat of the music. The music that accompanies fashion shows is usually chosen to help the models pace their walks. At the end of the runway, pose with your hand on your hip, one leg out, and the other foot forward ready to pivot. Stand still for three to five seconds, then use your pivot foot to turn back for your return walk.  Your pose can vary, and you can work with your designer to create a pose that’s suitable for the show. If you nail your pose, photographers will have a better chance of getting a great shot that you can add to your portfolio. After you’ve posed, turn on the ball of your pivot foot as you pick up your other foot and reverse directions. As you pivot, your face should be the last part of body to turn away from the audience. Try not to make a quick pivot as if you were doing a pirouette. Instead, try to make your pose, pivot, and turn in one continuous, fluid motion.

Walk with your toes facing slightly outward. Keep most of your weight on the balls of your feet. Take longer strides than you normally would. Adjust your speed to match the music. Pose for a three to five second count. Turn by pivoting in a graceful, continuous motion.


As you swish and swirl, you will begin to see the burned brown layer lift from the surface. Watch the stain and the water to measure the improvement of the stain and whether or not it’s removing.  When the water becomes too dark for you to see a difference in the stain and/or discoloration, empty the coffee pot and start the process of adding salt, ice, water, and lemon juice to the pot to continue the process.  Continue to swish the mixture in multiple directions. Keep in mind that severe burns will need more time to soak in the solution so be patient and trust the process.

As you think about your future after you graduate, you'll need to begin setting your sights on a career. The main factors you should consider are whether you would enjoy working a given job day after day and whether that job can realistically sustain you. Look into employment statistics for that job, average starting salaries, any additional training/certification you may need, and whether you would need to relocate in order to work that job. You can find current information on many different careers by reading through the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website. You can also try talking to working professionals in the field you're considering. Whether you're planning for college or are currently attending college, you may be looking into student loans. Loans are a great way to pay for your education, but they often come with steep interest rates that can saddle you with debt for years to come. Before you take out any loans or renew your existing loans, think about the long-term costs and look for other options that might be more financially sound.  The general rule of thumb for students is that any loans you'll need to repay each month should not exceed eight percent of your anticipated gross monthly income. Think about what your anticipated career is, and look into what someone just entering that field can realistically expect to make each month in their first year of employment. If you're in college or planning on attending college, look into financial aid that you won't have to repay. For example, try to get any grants, scholarships, and work-study positions your school offers. If you won't be able to afford your loan repayment, think about other alternatives to taking out a loan. You can work a second job, try to pay off your finances in installments, or ask a trusted friend or relative to lend you the money. Internships are a great way to gain valuable skills while you're still in school. Both internships and networking events can often lead to employment opportunities once you've established yourself...

As you unpack and arrange each room, make a list of items you need to complete it. Think about not only how you would like the room to look, but also how that fits within your budget.  Include kitchen utensils such as dishes, glassware, silverware, cookware, appliances such as a toaster or blender, a garbage can, and dishwashing products. Ask family members if they have any of these items that they’re willing to give away to help you defray costs. You may also want to write down simple food items including spices, oils, vinegar, and noodles or canned goods to be sure you have these items as soon as you want to cook. You’ll need office and lighting supplies including paper, light bulbs, and lamps  and basics such as toilet paper and light bulbs.  Make sure that you list bathroom products as well. Don’t forget basics such as toilet paper, body wash or soap, hand soap, a plunger for clogs, towels, a bath mat, and a shower curtain. Prioritize the list according to what you absolutely need and what you want. For example, do you need more picture frames or do you have enough until you can save some money? Remember to measure your available space carefully to make sure that any furniture you buy will fit into your new apartment. Moving is an inherently expensive process and you don’t want to go overboard. Be very aware of what you can afford and set a strict budget for yourself according to this. Stick to the list you made. It's easy to buy more than you need and go over budget very quickly. Every apartment requires basic pieces of furniture for you to live comfortably. Buying furniture at a discount or getting it for free will help you stay within the budget you set.  Shop at sales and look in thrift or second hand stores for cheap, good quality furniture or lamps. Remember to inspect furniture carefully for rips and insects, especially when buying secondhand. Try to spend a little bit more on furniture if you will use it every day. Getting a good or decent quality bed or sofa will save you money in the long run...

As you will probably find, not all airlines are equal.  While they all provide essentially the same type of service, they provide that service very differently.  You need to decide which airlines you prefer, and which airlines you do not want to work for.  Do not feel you need to apply for jobs at all airlines just to get your foot in the door.  Pick only the airlines you feel you could work at for a long period of time happily. If the airline’s career website doesn’t give you a good enough view of the organization, consider speaking to someone who works at that airline.  Since many of this positions are customer-facing, it wouldn’t be hard to find someone to speak to even if you don’t know anyone already. Narrow down the list of airlines you want to apply to and spend more time reviewing the website and job postings from those airlines. When writing each section of your resume, keep the keywords and terms you’ve found in mind.  Incorporate as many of these keywords as you can, but don’t use ALL of them.  Incorporate some of your own creativity into your resume and cover letter as well.   Profile Summary — incorporate some of these adjectives into your description of yourself.  For example, instead of “experienced flight attendant with 5+ years of service,” put “compassionate in-flight crew member with over 5 years of dedicated and energetic experience."  Core Competencies— incorporate both the adjectives and specific requirements into your list of skills and abilities.  For example, instead of “hands-on experience in delivering onboard services while remaining in the boundaries defined by airline policies and protocols,” use “passionate about delivering a memorable and relaxing flight for all passengers by providing excellent service based on the airline’s safety procedures."  Previous Experience — use the keywords and terms from the job positing to explain how you performed your previous jobs.  Don’t worry if your previous experience isn’t airline-related.

As you work, mold spores could break free from the drywall. To prevent them from finding their way into the flooring, cover the flooring and anything in the surrounding area with plastic sheeting. Tape the sheeting in place. Use a pencil to lightly draw a box around every area with visible mold. The area should be larger than the stain itself and should span an area that extends over at least two wooden wall beams behind the drywall. Removing more wall than necessary will increase your odds of removing unseen mold spores and will also make it possible to replace the section of drywall. Saw along the line with your knife, pointing it out and away from you as you work. When the patch of drywall comes free, carefully remove it and set it down, mold-side up, on the plastic. Mold spores may have been stirred up during the process, but using a HEPA vacuum should remove them. Sometimes it can take 5 minutes of spraying with water before any leak will show itself. Once located, seal from both the outside and inside to prevent moisture coming in (again mold is only caused where there is moisture). Cut a new section of drywall. Use a tape measure to measure the hole and, using a utility knife, cut a piece of fresh drywall that fits the exact same measurements. It should be a tight, snug fit. Use drywall screws and a screwdriver to attach the drywall to the wooden beams in the wall behind it. Joint compound, also called drywall compound, should be applied to the perimeter of the new section of drywall to help join it with the rest of the wall and to seal any cracks in between the sections. After 24 hours have passed, you can use sandpaper or a gentle sander to smooth the dried joint compound out. Mold spores could have landed on surrounding wall or flooring, even with the plastic coverings in place. Remove as much as possible with a HEPA vacuum.

Cover the area with plastic sheeting. Mark the areas of the wall that have mold. Cut the area out with a utility knife. Clean the inside of the room with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum. If your mold spot has appeared by a door or window, while the inner wall is open have someone spray water on the door or window with a hose and monitor for any moisture coming in. Before replacing the drywall, it is recommended to paint the interior wall cavity with an elastomeric paint like Kilz, and also paint the backside of the drywall you are replacing. Fit the new piece of drywall in the hole. Secure the new section of drywall. Apply joint compound. Smooth the joint compound after it dries. Vacuum the entire area with a HEPA vacuum.


As you would with a shingle roof, check for damage on the exterior that corresponds with the water stains you’ve seen on the ceiling. Look closely for small cracks around joints, vents, chimneys, or other objects that come through the roof. More obvious signs of leaks include open splits in the roofing material and blisters or bubbles where water and air have collected.  You can mend a small gap at a joint, vent, or chimney with roofing sealant. Any gaps wider than 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm), open splits, or blistered areas will need to be patched. Like shingle repairs, mending minor damage to asphalt or rubber roll roofing is relatively easy. However, if you notice widespread wear, water stains, mold, or rot on the roof or ceiling, call a professional. Sweep away any gravel from the damaged area, then carefully slice through the middle of the blister with a utility knife. Cut only through the blister at the top layer of roofing; do not cut the roof substrate, or the fiberboard beneath the rubber or asphalt.  If the blister contained water, soak it up with a dry rag. After thoroughly mopping up water, allow it to dry for 12 to 24 hours. If you’re in a rush, dry it out with a blow dryer; just be sure it’s completely dry before you attempt repairs. Blisters often occur with leaks in roll roofing. If there's no blister associated with your leak, skip this step and proceed to mending the tear. Inspect the fiberboard substrate beneath the tear in the rubber or asphalt. If the substrate is sound, use a small trowel to apply a heavy layer of cement under the edges of the tear. Push the cement as far under the edges as you can without further tearing the roofing material.  After cementing the edges of the tear, press it down flat, then drive galvanized roofing nails along each side of mend in 3 in (7.6 cm) intervals. If the fiberboard substrate is unsound, you’ll need to replace the damaged section. If you’re dealing with a large, open seam, check the roof substrate beneath the rubber or asphalt for rot or holes. If it’s...

Replace the roofing substrate, if necessary. Cover the repaired area with a patch of roll roofing. Add a final layer of roofing cement for a watertight patch.


As you write, instead of organizing your presentation by topics and subtopics, organize it along a story arc. Start by setting the stage, then pull your audience into a tale with an exciting climax. It may help to start your presentation with a question or a dilemma so they feel involved from the start.  Have a clear through line that runs through all parts of your presentation, leading to your main point. Include stories that put your listeners into a situation. Get their energy with tactile details (sound, sight, smell, taste, touch) and descriptions of an emotional state. Include moments of reflection in which you share how you felt or feel. Avoid bullet points that explain everything you are going to say. Instead, present charts, graphs, photos, or illustrations that only you can explain. This way, your audience remains focused on  you. Before you deliver something you want the audience to pay attention to, alert them of this. If you can, make your audience feel as if they have a stake in whether or not they get your point. Say something like, "now this is where we lose a lot of people" or, "this is one of the parts that's the most difficult to explain." Make jokes and tell funny anecdotes. Try leading your audience up to a point that sounds as if it will be serious, technical, or even dangerous, and then surprise them with a joke. If your presentation has a lot of data, you might transition between topics with funny visuals.  As always with humor in a work setting, remember that humor varies widely between cultures. Avoid making any jokes that make fun of anybody's sex, gender, race, class, or ability. Remember to "punch up"—if your jokes take someone on, take on someone with more power than you, rather than less. If you get nervous, try starting your presentation with a simple joke or a funny story. It will put you and your audience at ease. If you are working with a small crowd, you can talk directly to members of the audience. Ask someone to tell a joke to get you warmed up, or quiz audience members...

As you're flirting with the girl you like, pay attention to how she reacts. If she seems receptive to your attention, like blushing or smiling at you when you compliment her, she might be interested. If she rolls her eyes or doesn't seem like she enjoys being around you, you should probably find someone else to spend time around.  Touch her arm, hand, or shoulder, and see how she reacts. If she pulls away, she might feel uncomfortable. However, if she leaves your hand where it is, she may be interested.

As your baby grows, your doctor can do an ultrasound to measure your baby’s size. This will provide the doctor with a better view of the baby’s development, which will allow the doctor to estimate a due date. This due date will be more accurate in early pregnancy than those based on your period because it’s connected to the baby’s development in the womb. Ultrasounds can be done as early as five to six weeks after the mother’s last period. This is the best time to estimate your due date using an ultrasound. Before eight weeks, the baby's growth is hard to measure. After eighteen weeks, it's normal for babies to develop differently on the baby's own unique timeline. Your doctor will need to be able to apply the ultrasound wand to your stomach in order to view the baby. You may have to remove your clothing, though your doctor could allow you to just adjust your clothing if you wear an outfit with two pieces. For example, you could lift up your shirt to expose just your stomach. You will need to remove any clothing and jewelry that may interfere with the transvaginal ultrasound, and the doctor will provide you with a gown. A wand will be lubricated and inserted into your vaginal canal to get a closer look at your uterus and baby.  Your doctor may order a transvaginal ultrasound to get a more complete view of the uterus if it's early in the pregnancy. They may also order one if you have a high risk pregnancy or if there may be problems with your baby.  Your doctor will have you empty your bladder just before the transvaginal ultrasound is performed. Ultrasounds usually work best if you’ve have a full bladder, so drink plenty of water before your visit to the doctor. Up to six glasses of water may be recommended. Ask your doctor if it’s okay to eat before your ultrasound, as sometimes it’s best to stop eating a few hours before the exam. Your doctor can best estimate your due date if they are able to use both the date of your last period and your ultrasound. Using these two pieces of information, your doctor can...

Make an appointment with your doctor. Ask for an ultrasound during weeks eight to eighteen. Wear loose, two piece clothing that is easy to remove. Expect to remove all clothing for a transvaginal ultrasound. Drink enough water to fill your bladder. Tell the doctor the date of your last period.


As your cat ages, its eyes may turn from being bright and clear to cloudy and dull. By examining the degree of cloudiness or clearness in your cat's eyes, you can get a better understanding of how old your cat is.  Clear and bright eyes will indicate that your cat is likely young. Older cats may have cloudy eyes due to age itself or the development of cataracts. The iris is the colorful part of the eye that surrounds the pupil.  By examining the iris, you can learn the approximate age of your cat.  Look for any signs of jaggedness or roughness in the iris as you investigate.  Younger cats will have clean and smooth irises. As cats age, their irises will become thinner and strands will start to appear in the iris, along with pigment patches. A sign of both age and health, the tear ducts in your cat's eyes can be a great place to check up on your cat.  At times, due to either aging, illness, or injury, its eyes may become overly runny.  Runny eyes, as well as injury and illness, are more likely to be found in older cats, which can help you indicate your cat's age.  Younger cats should not have noticeable tears or discharge. Older cats may have apparent tearing or discharge from their eyes. Runny eyes can also be a sign of illness or injury, so check with your veterinarian.

Look for any clouding. Examine the iris. Monitor the eyes for discharge or tears.


As your cutting program continues, be sure to chart your progress. Weigh yourself regularly and check your body fat percentage. Make sure that you are making reasonable progress towards your goal. Checking your weight loss will help you assess whether your program is working or if you need to switch it up. While you are cutting, you can still build muscle mass. However, it is more important to focus on maintaining the muscle mass you already have. Continue the weight-lifting routine you use for muscle maintenance. Gaining muscle mass can make it difficult to determine if you are losing fat while cutting. It may appear as if you are losing less fat than you actually are, as you are losing fat but gaining muscle. You will need to reassess your BMI and determine how much fat you have lost in comparison to your lean muscle mass.

Check your progress. Continue your weight-lifting routine.


As your dog ages, keep a critical eye on him and evaluate him frequently. You should make sure the dog continues to adhere to breed standards. If your dog is not up to standards, he should not be bred. For example, your dog’s coat should stay a certain way, and his gait should be up to par. These things may deteriorate with age and may affect the dog’s breeding. If your male dog has produced a smaller litter size than you expected, it may be time to stop breeding him. This can be an indication of a fertility problem with your male dog.  You can compare the litter sizes to previous sizes of litters your dog has sired. If your dog hasn’t sired many different litters, you can compare the litter size to litters from other dogs of the same breed. Some male dogs can experience hormonal changes, which can affect their reproduction. Due to these hormonal changes, your male dog may no longer be interested in mating with females in heat.

Determine if your dog is still up to breed standards. Evaluate the litter sizes. Determine if the dog is still interested in mating.


As your hair grows out, it's a good idea to have a certain final look in mind. That way, when you get maintenance trims you can have the stylist shape your hair so that it grows a certain way.   If you're going for long layers, you can start early by having your stylist trim certain parts of your hair shorter than others. Bring in a picture of someone who has the look you want when you go in to get your hair cut. This way you can be sure you and your stylist are on the same page. If your hair is currently above shoulder length, it's a good idea to get maintenance trims every month or so to keep it looking neat. Short hair needs more attention than hair that is past the shoulders.  Be sure to inform your stylist that you're in the process of growing out your hair. If she doesn't know, she might cut off too much and set you back. Stop getting frequent trims when your hair has grown past your shoulders. At this point your hair should have enough weight to fall nicely around your shoulders without needing to be shaped. Trims every 3 to 4 months will keep your ends healthy, but other than that you can only to wait for it to grow. Whether you're still at the pixie cut stage or you just have a few more inches to go before reaching your target hair length, make the most of your waiting game by styling and accessorizing your hair in flattering ways.  Play it up. Is your hair in an awkward in-between stage of growing out? Pretend like this is the way you've always wanted it to look. Blow it out, curl it, or wear it natural - own the hair on your head, no matter how it looks. If you wear it with confidence, people will think it's intentional. Experiment with headbands, bobby pins, and other fun hair accessories to hold back the shorter pieces of hair you're trying to grow out while looking chic at the same time. Wear a hat. For the days when you wake up and your hair feels all wrong, put on a cute hat to cover it up. Choose a seasonal hat - a cute toboggan during the winter, or a straw hat for the summer.

As your relationship gets more and more stable again, you can make sure that your girlfriend knows how much you care about her. If you’re already saying “I love you,” then you shouldn’t forget to say it at least once a day; if you’re not, make sure you compliment her and make her feel good about herself when you’re together. Let her know and see how happy you are to be with her and how much you love dating her.  You don’t have to smother her with affection, but you should never take her for granted. Don’t assume that she knows how much you care for her just because you’re hanging out together; let her see how much you care through your words and your affection. Write her sweet love notes or even hand her a full letter saying how much you care for her. Be thoughtful. If she’s mentioned a new book she wants to read, let her know that you listen to her by giving it to her. Though returning to your old routine can make your relationship feel more stable, you can also work to discover new things together to keep your relationship fresh and to do things that don’t remind her of the time you hurt her. You can discover a new sport, take a class together, or even take a mini vacation to a campsite or beach over the weekend. Don’t just do whatever she wants to do to please her; try to find something new and exciting that you both will love.  It doesn’t have to be too elaborate. You can just learn to make pasta together, join a bowling league together, or discover a new director together. The most important thing is that you both keep your relationship feeling fresh. You don’t have to do too many new things at once. Making an effort to do at least one new thing every week or two while continuing to do some of the old things you love together will keep your relationship going strong. In order to maintain a healthy relationship, you have to be committed to communicating openly and listening to her as often as possible. Don’t keep your feelings bottled up inside or become passive aggressive when you’re mad; instead, make...

As your skin gets older, it is more and more prone to developing skin tags in areas that experience a lot of friction. This is a natural occurrence and will have no impact on your overall skin health. However, once women reach age 50 their chance of developing skin tags begins to fall. Pregnancy can change the shape of your body and will create more areas of skin rubbing against skin. This combined with changes to your hormone levels can lead to skin tags. Once your pregnancy is over, your skin tags will not disappear. They can only be removed by cutting them off. There is some evidence that getting skin tags can be inherited from your parents. If you want to know if you are likely to get skin tags in the future, ask your parents or other relatives if they have skin tags. If they do, you will know that you are likely to get them. Just because your relatives have skin tags is doesn't mean that you will get them. It just means that you are more likely to get them than if your family members do not have them. If you are concerned about skin tags, you should talk to a dermatologist about them. A dermatologist can tell you all about the most up to date treatments and prevention ideas.

Expect more skin tags as you age. Be on the lookout for more skin tags if you are pregnant. Research whether others in your family have had skin tags. Discuss skin tags with a dermatologist.


As you’re getting ready for sex, use a lidocaine or prilocaine cream or spray. These sprays can help you last longer during sexual activities by helping numb your nerves a bit so you’re less sensitive to stimulation.There are some over-the-counter options you can pick up from the drugstore, or your doctor may be able to prescribe something for you. Intercourse is usually better for men’s climaxing, but women need other stimuli to get there. Some foreplay before penetration, such as rubbing, petting, kissing, and giving oral sex, can help enhance your partner’s pleasure while delaying your own gratification. Having sex in the "missionary" position might be contributing to your premature ejaculation. Allow your partner to be on top so you can relax and see if that helps. f you start to feel close to finishing, stop and switch around to another position. Make yourself last longer by giving yourself time between thrusts. You can also change the angle of your thrusts or make them shallower.  If you start to feel like you are close, stop thrusting and hold yourself inside your partner until you feel in control again. Another way to slow yourself down is to focus on other activities. Caress and explore your partner’s body, using your hands and lips to explore. One way for you and your partner to help prevent you from finishing too soon is the pause-squeeze technique, which involves putting pressure on your penis. When you feel almost ready to ejaculate, have your partner squeeze your penis where the head meets the shaft. Hold for several seconds until your urge to ejaculate has passed. Once your partner lets go, wait 30 seconds, then go back to foreplay.

Apply an anesthetic cream to make your penis less sensitive. Engage in foreplay. Change your position. Go slower. Try the pause-squeeze technique.


Ascaris worms thrive in soil that has human and animal feces (poop) in it. In many places in the world, fecal matter is intentionally used to fertilize crops, so be cautious when traveling in undeveloped countries, particularly rural farming areas. Children who live in these areas often become infected after putting their hands into their mouths after playing or working in contaminated soil.  Eating uncooked food (fruits and veggies) grown in contaminated soil or irrigated with wastewater is another frequent cause of infection. Always thoroughly wash produce at home before you eat, regardless of where you bought it from. Consider cooking all raw veggies before you eat them. Soaking fresh produce in water with some iodine, hydrogen peroxide and/or white vinegar might help kill parasites, as well as some viruses and bacteria. In addition to washing your produce, washing yourself and practicing good hygiene is another method to help prevent Ascaris worm infection. Always wash your hands after going to the bathroom and before and after handling food. Ascaris worm larvae and eggs are spread in feces, either in soil, in water or from unwashed hands.  Wash your hands frequently with warm water and soap, especially if you're traveling and buying food in undeveloped countries in Asia and Africa. When traveling, carry a small bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you and use it often to clean your hands. If you're without soap and sanitizer, try using fresh citrus juice (from lemons, limes or grapefruits) on your hands to clean them. If you really want to reduce your risk of Ascariasis then the best advice is to avoid under-developed countries where the infection is most common, such as rural China, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, India, Latin America, the Caribbean and parts of the Middle East.  If you do need to travel to these areas for work or family reasons, take the sanitary precautions mentioned above. Wash your hands frequently, keep your hands away from your mouth, use only bottled water and avoid...

Ashtrays and other smoking materials are the main sources of the smoke smell, apart from the smoker him/herself. If you want to get rid of the smoke smell, you'll have to get rid of the source. This won't be enough to get rid of strong or old smells, but it may help get rid of less obvious odors. If you can, place a fan inside the window, with the fan turned inwards. This will help bring a breeze into the room. There are many sprays that make your room smell nice. These sprays can be effective, as long as they are the right type. Not all of these sprays have odor busting abilities. When buying a room spray, look for something that says "eliminates odors," or "odor eliminating." These sprays will your room smell nice and get rid of the smoke smell. The musky, spicy smell of burning incense can mask the smell of smoke. You can get incense in stick, powder, or pellet form. Make sure to burn your incense in a non-flammable holder, and supervise it as long as it is burning. When you are done, extinguish the incense by running water over it. Vinegar may not smell great, but it absorbs odors, including smoke smells. You should notice a difference by the end of the day. After a couple of hours, pour the vinegar out. Unlike smoke smells, vinegar smells do not linger. You can also use baking soda, cat litter, or pieces of activated charcoal. All of these absorb smells. Keep in mind that you will need to replace them every few days. If the smells lingers after you have aired out the room, the smell might have sunk into your furniture. Move your furniture outside for a day or two. The UV rays from the sun will kill the odor causing bacteria, and neutralize the smoke smell. Leave it on there for up to 72 hours, then vacuum it up. Baking soda is great at absorbing smells.  You can also spray white vinegar onto furniture, and then wipe it off. This may not be effective on very strong smells.

Take any ashtrays and smoking materials out of the room. Open the windows. Use an odor eliminating spray. Burn incense. Set out a bowl of white vinegar. Air out the furniture. Sprinkle baking soda onto carpets and upholstered furniture.


Ashwagandha can be used a dietary supplement and to treat issues like chronic pain, arthritis, ulcers, and mood swings. It can also be used as a sleep aid. Make sure you ask your doctor about the medical uses of ashwagandha, and its benefits for your health based on your medical history, before you take it.  Ashwagandha should not be taken with medication to treat diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. If you are currently being treated for any of these issues, speak to your doctor first before taking ashwagandha. Do not use ashwagandha if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as it can cause health issues for you or your baby. Your doctor can suggest a daily amount based on your medical needs. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, rather than the recommended dosage on the label. For general health and well-being, you can take 1 to 2 teaspoons (4.9 to 9.9 ml) of powdered ashwagandha, or one capsule once a day. For some, the taste of powdered ashwagandha can be unpleasant. Try mixing 1 to 2 teaspoons (4.9 to 9.9 ml) of powdered ashwagandha in one to two cups of hot milk or boiling water to mask the taste. You can then sip it as a warm drink or tea. You can also add 1⁄4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) sugar or ghee to the ashwagandha to make it taste better. If you experience nausea, upset stomach, or diarrhea when you take ashwagandha, see your doctor right away. Your doctor may suggest a lower dosage or a different course of treatment that will not cause these issues.

Ask your doctor about taking ashwagandha. Get a recommended dosage from your doctor. Have hot milk or water with powdered ashwagandha. See your doctor if you experience any adverse side effects.


Asian restaurants often have a variety of flavorful broth-based soups that you can choose as a first course. Choose chicken breast strips that are not breaded and fried. Add steamed vegetables to your main course, and ask for brown rice instead of white rice. Ask for a pasta dish to be served with an appetizer portion size, and select extra vegetable side dishes. Choose sauces like marinara, cacciatore, pomodoro or arrabiata. Go with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas, use salsa as salad dressing and request smaller portions of guacamole, sour cream or cheese. Order leaner cuts like strip steak, sirloin and filet mignon. Also, order smaller portions (an appropriate portion size is 3 ounces) and choose a baked potato instead of potatoes that are mashed, scalloped, French-fried or au gratin. Choose a half sandwich paired with a broth-based soup. Skip the mayonnaise and high-calorie spreads and go for mustard or barbecue sauce. Also, pile vegetables onto your sandwich. Order salads with grilled rather than crispy chicken, and use as little dressing as possible. Switch to the smallest available burger or veggie patty, skipping mayonnaise and any “special sauce.” Additionally, when ordering breakfast, choose a yogurt parfait rather than high CD dishes. Choose a lean deli meat sandwich, an entrée salad or a bowl of chili.
