If you're looking to recreate chow mein from your favorite take-out shop, you'll likely want to add just a bit of sweetness to the sauce. A tablespoon or two of brown sugar, honey, or a bit of white sugar can do the trick. You may want to use hoisin sauce as well, which is generally available at special Asian markets. Most American chow mein contains only the very basic cabbage and carrot. If you're looking to replicate a recipe, these are a sure bet. But again, any vegetable will taste delicious – and make it healthier, too. Plenty of people are fond of onion and garlic. If you're one of them, consider adding 3 cloves of garlic and one sliced onion to your pan and stir-frying until golden. Chicken is pretty standard in chow mein, but that doesn't mean you have to include it in your recipe. Beef, pork, shrimp and tofu work too. What's more, you could just skip the protein source entirely – though the meal becomes a lot less hearty without it. If you do like the idea of making vegetarian chow mein but don't care much for tofu, simply up your quantities of your favorite vegetables. It'll give the dish more nutrients and more color. Some people find they prefer working with steamed noodles that only require soaking beforehand. Others find that the pan-fried, generic chow mein noodles work just fine, so why mess with a good thing? And yet others have diet restrictions, and need to use mushroom noodles or other variants. It all can work, so feel free to experiment. If you're going low-carb, mushroom (or shirataki) noodles are a good substitute. However, if you're crafty, you could also use zucchini or squash noodles, though the taste will morph as a whole.

Consider making the sauce a bit sweeter. For a more Americanized chow mein, add shredded cabbage and carrot. Switch up your protein, or go vegetarian. Experiment with different types of noodles.


If you're looking to take your hair weave out, you're first going to want to make sure it's as untangled as possible. Otherwise, taking it out could pull at your natural hair and cause pain. With a brush or a comb, gently brush through, smoothing out all the kinks. Start from the top, and gently brush downward in a slow, fluid motion. With your hands or a shower faucet, wash your head, letting the water pour down the middle. This way, the wefts will become easier to distinguish from the rest of your hair. Now that your hair is detangled, it's time to meticulously remove the weave from your scalp. Pick them apart from your head, checking for damage as you set them aside. Knowing where each weft goes on your head beforehand can take a lot of the guesswork out after the fact. Make a basic system, giving a number (1, 2, 3 etc.) to a corresponding part of your head where it's supposed to go (leftmost weft, center-left weft etc.). That way, once you've gotten it all nice and clean, you'll be able to put it all back perfectly. Clean your weave in the sink or in a steel pot. Use warm water and a dab of shampoo the size of your finger. Next, clean it gently, moving your fingers from the root to the stem of the piece. Much like cleaning a sew-in weave, try to refrain from rubbing in the traditional circular motion, as it's just going to increase the risk of getting tangles. Once you've got the wefts nice and clean, it's time to add some oil and shine to them. Put them in a bag with some conditioner, and apply the same way you did the shampoo. Next, put the wet weave in the microwave and put it on for 30 seconds. That will speed up the drying process far more than letting it dry naturally. If you're against the idea of putting your hair in the microwave, you can dry them manually with a hooded dryer. Avoid towel-drying, as this runs the risk of matting. While the drying process should have made your weave relatively dry and safe from the build-up of smells, it's nonetheless a smart idea to give your hair a quick spray....

Brush your hair thoroughly. Get your hair wet with warm water. Remove each weft carefully. Mark and label each weft before cleaning. Wash your weave with a dab of shampoo. Put your weave in a plastic bag with conditioner and microwave for 30 seconds. Give your hair an anti-bacterial spritz for good measure. Replace your weave on a regular basis.


If you're lucky enough that your girl wants to give it another go, then you should try to start fresh as much as you can. Though you can go back to enjoying some of the same restaurants, TV shows, and things that you loved together, it's important to pick some new activities and relationship strategies so your relationship doesn't feel like another version of your former dating experience.  Though you can bring up the happy memories, try to avoid thinking or talking about any bad experiences you've shared, unless you can laugh about them. Don't take her for granted. Just because you're dating again doesn't mean that you shouldn't take the time to let her know how much you care about her. Take it slow. Treat it like you're starting a new relationship instead of jumping right back into an old one. Don't spend all of your time together right away, even if that's what you were doing before you broke up. Though you shouldn't constantly worry about the relationship ending, you should be conscious of whatever it was that made your relationship fail the first time. If it failed because you spent too much time with your friends and you find yourself hanging out with your friends all the time again, cut back a bit. And if it ended because of something that she did, have an honest conversation about it if it comes up again. Remember how awful you felt when you made those mistakes the first time. You don't want to go through that pain again. Though you should be conscious of the mistakes you made, you cannot obsess over them or you will doom your relationship to failure before it has a chance to start off on the right foot. If a bad situation arises, you can remember what happened the last time and proceed with caution, but don't constantly worry about messing things up or you won't be able to truly enjoy your time together. If you're always worrying about messing things up, your girl will be able to tell, and that won't make the relationship very enjoyable for her. Though if you needed to make a dramatic change (for the...

Give your new relationship a fresh start. Don't make the same mistakes. Don't overthink it. Remember to be yourself.


If you're making a roll bar for a dune buggy that will occupy a space 60 inches (150 cm) wide by 50 inches (125 cm) high, make a rectangle with these dimensions on a clean space of concrete floor with a piece of chalk. The centerline should bisect the longer (width) sides of the rectangle. If the top of the roll bar should run only 40 inches (100 cm), subtract this length from the width for the bottom, then measure half the distance in from each of the upper corners. This works out to a difference of 20 inches (50 cm), half of which is 10 inches (25 cm), which is the distance to measure in. Mark this distance in from each of the top corners. If the distance from the bottom of the roll bar to the first bend is to be 40 inches (100 cm), measure and mark this distance up from each side of the bottom corners. You can measure the connecting lines with a ruler. In this example, the diagonal line connecting the marks on the horizontal and vertical lines is about 14 inches (70 cm) long. Lay it so that the horizontal straight end touches the inside of the upper horizontal line.   Mark this place on the diagonal.  Add together the measurements from the bottom corners to the first marks, the lengths of pipe between the lower bend, and the length between the upper bend. In the above example, the vertical portions of the roll bar will each be 40 inches (100 cm) long, the diagonal portions will each be 14 inches (70 cm) long, and the horizontal portion will be 40 inches long. The total minimum length of pipe will be 40 + 14 + 40 + 14 + 40 inches (100 + 70 + 100 + 70 + 100 cm), or 144 inches (440 cm) long. Although the minimum length of pipe needed is 144 inches, it's a good idea to allow for error, add at least 4 inches (10 cm), making the total length 148 inches (450 cm). You'll work from this point outward. Mark on the pipe where the upper bends are to start and finish using the marks on the frame. You may also want to mark the direction of your bends by putting arrows on the pipe pointing outward. Be sure the pipe's...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Measure out the space your bent pipe will occupy. Divide the rectangle with a centerline. Measure in from the top corners of the rectangle to where the horizontal portion of the bent pipe begins. Measure from the bottom corners to where the lower bend begins. Connect the markings where the bends will be made, using a straightedge or ruler. Lay your 90-degree bend pipe inside the top line of your frame. Slide the pipe until it touches the diagonal you drew. Mark the place where the bend mark intersects the frame line. Rotate the pipe so the other bend mark intersects the diagonal. Repeat the last 4 steps for the other upper corner. Calculate the total length of pipe needed. Cut the pipe. Find and mark the center of the pipe. Lay the pipe against the top line of your layout frame, aligning the pipe's center with the center line. Make each of the upper bends with your bending tool. Make each of the lower bends with your bending tool. Cut off any excess from the ends of the bent pipe.


If you're more touchy-feely with your loved one, you're more likely to feel romantic -- and in the mood. No matter how long you've been together, you should cuddle, kiss, and show your loved one affection often enough to make that person feel truly loved.  You don't have to hold hands all the time, but if you're going for a walk, hold your loved one's hand. If you're watching a movie, put your arm around your loved one, or snuggle up next to them. Don't let a day go by without kissing your loved one, even if it's just a peck on the lips. Hug your loved one as often as you can. Think of new ways to give your loved one affection. It can be by tickling them in bed, gently stroking his/her hair, or by squeezing his/her side. To keep things fresh, you should not only give your loved one compliments whenever you can, but you should think of new and exciting compliments to give your loved one to make them feel truly special. Though you can go back to the same old compliments -- the beautiful color of your wife's eyes, or your new boyfriend's sexy smile, you can also mix things up by thinking of something new to appreciate about your loved one.  Find one new thing to compliment your loved one about each week. It could be a physical trait, or an aspect of his or her personality. Thinking of something new will also make you find even more things to appreciate about your special someone. You can write the compliment in a note that you leave for your loved one to find. That will be even more romantic. If you want to keep the romance alive, you have to keep things fresh by always attending to your looks. If you've been with the same person for years, you can start to get lazy, wear sweatpants all the time, and forget to shower or shave, but that's not the way to go if you want to keep things romantic. Try to pay as much attention to your looks as you did when you first met the person you love.   Groom daily. Shower, shave, wash your hair, and do whatever you have to do to keep looking fresh. Continue to dress up for date...

If you're nearing retirement, do everything you can to eliminate all debt. Debt is a needless drain on your income as a retiree, and it prevents you from making the savings you need to make. One of the most popular ways to tackle debt is the “snowball method,” paying off the debt with the highest interest rates first. Another tactic to reduce expenses in retirement is lowering monthly payments. You can try to negotiate with service providers (like cable companies and phone companies) yourself, or you can outsource it to a third party. For example, a company called Billcutterz will negotiate with all of your service providers to lower your monthly payments. You pay nothing up front; you just agree to let them take half of the savings for the first year. One radical way some retirees have cut down on expenses is by selling their home and making an RV their primary residence. The modern generation of RVs are surprisingly spacious and comfortable, making RV living the ideal situation for the traveling retiree. Most retirees who make this choice pay cash for the RV, which drastically reduces monthly expenses with a chunk of cash leftover from the sale of the house. More and more retirees are making relocation a part of their retirement strategy. Relocating outside the US can provide the expatriate with a higher standard of living for less money than they could enjoy in the US. With innovations like email, Skype, and social media, staying connected with family member overseas is easier than ever. You'll want to thoroughly research the legal and financial implications of any retirement destination, but some of the most popular expatriate destinations are Panama, the Dominican Republic, Portugal, and Italy.

If you're nervous about entering a party when you don't know anyone there, it's a good idea to calm yourself before trying to meet anyone. Take a deep breath, breathing all the way down to your belly, and breathing out slowly through your nose. Repeat this slow, deep breathing several times. Make sure your feet are placed firmly against the floor, so that you’re well-grounded.  Bring to mind a positive visualization. For example, imagine yourself looking sleek and sexy on the dance floor, or someone attractive laughing at your sense of humor. Realize that no one’s paying attention to you, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious. After all, most people attending parties are also nervous. Repeat this process anytime you start to feel nervous at the party. You may be feeling terrified, but if you smile you’re more likely to look confident. Even if you don't know anyone else at the party, you can increase your social abilities through smiling. In addition, if you're feeling nervous, smiling can help to improve your mood, and reduce stress.  People often respond to a smiling person with a smile of their own, which will make you feel even better. Even a slight smile will be enough to help your facial muscles relax, and your appearance seem less threatening to other party guests. When you look confident, you’ll start to feel confident. What kind of party is it? Social interactions will vary depending on the reason you’re gathered together. If you’re attending a frat party, you’ll need different social skills than you might at a Christmas carol party held by your mom’s church choir.  Remember that other people may not know one another either. Considering the nature of the party, try to gauge how likely it is that many people may be making their first introductions. It will help you feel at ease to figure out the physical layout of the party, if it’s unfamiliar to you. Figure out where the bathroom is, where the food is, where the drinks are, as a way to get comfortable at the party.  Making your way around the...

If you're nervous about what people will think of you, consider just taking one friend and going to a place outside of your usual sphere so that the people you're dancing around are mostly people you don't know.  In a new crowd, no one will find it strange that you’re dancing sexily. A change in setting can help you feel free to change up your style and let yourself go. As you dance, make eye contact with people you find attractive. If they approach you, get slightly closer to them. If you don’t want to dance with someone, you can always say no thank you and move away.  If no one, asks you to dance, ask them. Even if you’re shy, you’ll be glad you did.  Mirror the movements of the person you’re dancing with. Try to react to how they’re moving so that you are in sync with them. Don’t be afraid to put your hands around their neck and dance up close and personal. Good dancing rises from the heart. Let rhythm guide your movements. If you don’t like a song or can’t hear the beat, don’t feel like you have to dance. You’ll feel more confident dancing to songs that you like. More than anything, relaxation is key to feeling––and looking––sexy on the dance floor. Slow down, relax, and let your body move to the music. When dancing, be aware of others around you. Most places may be packed but that shouldn't stop you from dancing sexily. Try not to bump into others unintentionally.  When you’re dancing with a partner, keep track of how they are dancing, and where their feet and arms are. Try to slip your hands around your partner’s waist or neck. If you dance like yourself, you’re bound to look sexy. Above all, remember that you want to have a good time. Even if you feel a little awkward, smile. If you make a small mistake or trip, laugh out loud about it. The ability to laugh at yourself makes you sexier.  A happy face and genuine laughter also makes you much more approachable to people that might want to dance with you. Don’t go over the top, however; be respectful of others' space. Don't be afraid to imitate. If you...

If you're new to using cherries in your cooking, it's definitely recommended to look online for some standard options. Most often, cherries are used in dessert dishes for their sweet taste. For certain recipes (particularly baking) you'll want lighter-tinted, sour cherries. If you're adding them as an accent, as you would atop a sundae, you'll want them dark and sweet. You don't have to make up your mind right away, but it's a good idea to have some vague idea what you'd like to make with your cherries. This includes washing and pitting them. Remembering to do this is arguably even more important when you're using them in a recipe; if you cherries in a pie, for example, without first pitting them, the entire pie will end up being ruined! The most famous use of cherries in cooking is arguably in pies. Cherry pie is a staple dish in many cafes, and for good reason! You can add cherries into your pie whole if you want, or you can mash them into a thick paste so they're able to disperse more evenly. You can even try baking with cherry jam! There are lots of possibilities when it comes to baking; look up some solid recipes, and you'll end up with a delicious summertime treat. An even simpler way of adding cherries is through salads. Salads tend to be inclusive of all sorts of fruits and vegetables. You won't need too many cherries to accent your salad-- just a few will give a tangy kick to your meal you won't soon forget. In many ways, an ice cream sundae is the ultimate dessert. It can be made even better by adding a cherry atop some whipped cream. While it will taste great, adding cherries as accents has the extra benefit of boasting some visual panache as well. It's an easy way to give your home concoctions the look of fine dining. For sundaes, you'll want to get sweeter, darker cherries. The sour taste of light cherries doesn't compliment ice cream nearly as well. Jam is one of the most versatile creations you can make from fruit. The sweetness in cherries makes them perfect for making jams with. Pit your...

If you're not a weight lifter by practice, you should go slowly when lifting someone. Lifting with your legs can reduce the risk of back strain, but it does not completely eliminate it. Go slowly when lifting. Pay attention to your body. If you feel strained, you should stop. The fireman's carry is primarily used to transport injured victims during emergencies and accidents. You should avoid using it if you do not have professional training. You could inadvertently make someone's injuries worse. Only use the fireman's carry for fun. Not everyone likes being picked up. Even if you've been dating a girl for awhile, she may not find being carried fun or romantic. Make sure to ask if it's okay beforehand, especially if you've never lifted her before. You should also pay attention to body language. If she's standing with her arms folded or stepping back, you may be invading her personal space. For a lot of reasons, a girl may dislike being picked up in public. Some people are uncomfortable with public displays of affection. Also, if the girl is wearing a short skirt, you do not want to accidentally expose her underwear while picking her up. A girl wearing a short skirt may want to keep her hand on her skirt when being picked up. Before picking a girl up in public, ask her if it's okay first.

If you're not already doing so, keep a daily record of anything that happens involving your child, including conversations or incidents with the other parent.  Your records of what happens can be crucial in proving that parental alienation is taking place, which often may mean disproving accusations from the other parent. For example, the other parent may file a motion to modify your parenting plan because you don't have time to spend with the child. Detailed records of the time you and the child have spent together, including tickets to any events or activities and photographs of the two of you together can help prove the other parent is trying to distance the child from you or harm your relationship. Take note of any special requests your ex-spouse makes or adjustments they want made to the court-ordered parenting plan. Often an alienating parent will request adjustments and then blame you when you don't agree.  A log of activities is especially important if there are recurring problems with your parenting time and adherence to the court-ordered schedule.  Keep in mind that courts differ regarding how much control a child has to decide whether they want to visit the non-custodial parent – and it often depends on the age of the child as well. However, courts typically look askance at parents who offer their children the option of doing something that is contrary to a court order. If your child says something like "Dad said I didn't have to come visit you next week if I didn't want to," include that in your diary as evidence of possible parental alienation.  If you have trouble communicating with your ex-spouse, try your best to keep all communication in writing. That way you both have a record of what was discussed. Save copies of texts or emails, as they may be useful as evidence if your ex-spouse later claims they didn't agree to something, or tries to argue that you agreed to something when you didn't.  If your ex-spouse is sending you accusing or alienating messages, maintain records of them in...

If you're not already landing planes in the military (and most of us aren't), it's safe to say you're considering the two other paths: either getting hired directly by the FAA or going to an FAA-affiliated school. Let's cover both paths.  If you're a regular Joe, you can wait for the FAA to announce an open posting on the USAJobs website. You must see the word PUBNAT in the title (stands for "public national" and is open to, you guessed it, the public) -- if that word isn't there, it is not open to the general public. Make sure to fill out all the information (and correctly) on the online application. If you don't, your application may be overlooked. If you're a regular Joe with time, money, and academic motivation, find a school that has an AT-CTI program -- a complete list can be found here. It's either a 2-year or 4-year program. If you go this route and complete it, you will be expedited through the process (though there is no guarantee of employment). 4 to 8 weeks after the PUBNAT announcement closes or 6 months prior to your graduation, you will be asked to take the AT-SAT (so check your email). When there are more applicants than testing slots, applicants are chosen at random. If you completed an AT-CTI program and weren't selected when you first applied to take the test, you are given priority for the next testing session provided you still meet the other requirements.  The written test is a comprehensive, computer-administered test designed to evaluate your ability to learn how to be an air traffic controller. They will give you 8 hours with 75 minutes for breaks. You will be asked math questions, airplane control/dial questions, questions on radar, angles, and different flight scenarios, etc. Wondering how to study for it?

If you're not good at math yet, you need to make sure you're studying in an environment that allows for concentration. Before you sit down to practice, find a place free of outside stimuli that can cause a distraction.  Find an area where there is not a lot of noise or commotion. A quiet coffee shop could work, or a desk in your bedroom. Minimize distractions in front of you. Disconnect from the internet and put away your phone. If you like music while studying, go for instrumental music. Music with lyrics, or music that's very loud, can be distracting when you're studying. There's no real secret to becoming good at mathematics. It all comes down to dedication. If you want to improve your math score, hard work is key. You will have to practice every day until you start to understand the underlying concepts behind math.  Stick to a schedule. See where you can fit in some study time every day. Maybe you usually have some time in the early evenings. You could plan to study math from 6 to 7 every night after dinner. Try not to study for hours and hours straight. This may create stress. Study for an hour or so each night. Math is sequential. Many people feel they have to memorize concepts and formulas or map out the answer in their head before they begin. This is not productive. Instead, try to understand the concepts behind math. If you see how and why an equation works, you'll be able to remember it more easily in a pinch.  Math theory may seem complicated, but with a little hard work, you can begin to figure it out. In math classes, do not hesitate to ask why. Why does the Pythagorean Theorem work? How does the quadratic equation work on a logical level? Understanding the underlying concepts is far more productive than simple memorization. If you understand something in depth, you'll have an easier time working with it. You'll be better equipped to check your answer if you understand why an equation makes sense. Doing math, you want to see how to discover an answer. Instead of pre-planning how you'll figure out...

If you're not interested in applying a complicated formula to your students' grades, but you still want to offer them a chance to improve their score on a certain assignment, consider offering students an opportunity to re-do sections of an assignment they did poorly on. Give the assignment back to students and allow them to re-do problems they missed.  Then, grade the problems they re-did. Offer the students some percentage of the points they earned on their re-do attempt, and add these to their first score to get their final grades.  Let's say that a student scored 60 points out of 100 on a test. We give the test back to the student, offering half-credit for any problems she re-does. She re-works the problems she missed, scoring 30 more points. We then give her 30/2 = 15 more points, making her final score 60 + 15 = 75 points.  Don't allow students to merely correct the work they've done. Instead, to ensure they fully understand how to do the problems from start to finish, have them completely rewrite the items they missed. Even the best teachers occasionally put unfair or misleading questions on their tests. If, after grading, you find that there are one or two particular items that most of the students seemed to struggle on, you may want to disregard these questions and grade the assignment as if they weren't included. This is an especially good idea if a certain question used concepts that you haven't taught your students yet or if it falls outside the reasonable expectations for student performance. In these cases, re-grade assignments as if the problematic sections don't exist. Note, however, that this method gives extra weight to the questions you do choose to include. It may also anger students who did well on the questions you chose to eliminate - you may want to offer them some form of extra credit. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. After an assignment that went poorly for some (or all) of your students, offer your students a special problem, project or task that, if completed, will...

If you're not prepared for class, a lot of what's discussed will be lost on you. Do all the required reading before entering your classroom. You should also complete any homework assignments that are due, or do any activities your professor requested. You're unlikely to get a lot out of a class if you can't follow lectures or participate in discussions. Do this around 10 to 15 minutes before class. A quick review will allow you to see how material in your class goes together. This will help you follow the lecture or discussion and also give you a more significant understanding of the subject material.  As you review your notes, pay attention to major topics. What are the main points that were covered in the last class? How do they relate to any reading and homework that was due? Think about any overarching themes or ideas you see emerging. Try to consider what your professor may discuss today. Always come to class with a notebook, pen, or pencil. Some teachers may allow you to take notes using your laptop, but be very careful to avoid getting distracted by things like the internet. Good notes are vital for studying for tests and writing papers.  Make sure your notes are organized. Use headings explaining each major topic. Group related materials together and avoid writing all over the page or clogging the margins. Write neatly, so you can easily read your notes at the end of class. It can be easy to misunderstand your own notes, especially if you were writing them fast. Your handwriting may be somewhat illegible, and you may not remember what a given note meant in a month or so when studying for exams. Therefore, try typing up your notes at the end of each class period when they're fresh in your mind. They'll be more legible and organized when you refer back to them later. If your class has a teaching assistant, he or she can be a valuable resource for you. This can be particularly helpful in a large lecture class where it's difficult to get your professor's attention. Work on fostering a good relationship...

If you're not sure whether or not this person is a frenemy, talk over your concerns with a friend you're absolutely sure about and happy around. This person may throw new perspective onto the situation that helps you to realize the value of your relationship with the frenemy. Be certain who you're talking to won’t pass your concerns back to the frenemy. A middle ground between quietly leaving the toxic friendship and confronting your frenemy is to kindly and gently suggest separating. If you’re soft in your delivery and stay away from blaming your frenemy, you’ll avoid dragging out a bad situation and carrying resentment later on. When gently ending the relationship, try saying something like:  “While I care about you, I don’t think that we’re great for each other. I think it would be healthy for us to go our separate ways.” “I think it would be best for the both of us if we took a little time apart.” If you aren’t someone who is comfortable with confrontation but you know that you’d like to cut ties with your frenemy, lessen your involvement with them over time. This way, you avoid the stress of a difficult conversation while still making a positive, healthy decision for yourself. Become subtly less and less available until they aren’t a part of your life any more. Don’t always respond to their texts right away and busy your schedule so that you don’t have time to see them. If you’re typically comfortable with facing problems head-on, talk to the frenemy outright instead of carrying this burden on your shoulders. Avoid acting vulnerable or distressed; simply stick to the facts and express how certain things that have happened make you feel. For example:  "I felt really put down when you suggested my costume was too tight for me in front of our dance class. Did you really mean to be so unkind?" "It really hurt me yesterday when you said I was too ditzy and easily distracted to be a good speechwriter. I know you think you said it in a joking and funny way but the joke was made at my expense." Being forthright...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Confide in a true friend that you trust. Play it safe by ending the relationship gently. Drift away from the friendship if you’re non-confrontational. Confront the frenemy if you want to be direct. Expect your frenemy to be surprised or in denial if you confront them.


If you're not sure why you seem to chronically late, take a look at what happens before you leave the house. You probably set aside a certain amount of time to get ready to go, and end up scrambling to get through a checklist of tasks before you can leave. If you have everything ready to go well in advance, though, you won't have a bunch of hurdles standing between you and getting where you need to go. Every single night, go through the following routine so that you'll have a lot less to do in the morning:  Lay out the clothes you're going to wear. Complete any tasks you might normally leave for the morning, like writing emails or printing out documents. Pack up your bag or briefcase with everything you'll need the next day. Have everything ready so you can make a quick breakfast, or eliminate the need for morning cooking altogether by making some overnight oats. Many people who are often late spend too much time searching around for their keys, cell phone, charger or wallet. If you keep all of your essential items in the same drawer or tray near the door, they'll be waiting there for you when it's time to leave.  If you tend to walk in the door and leave your keys on the counter, your wallet in the bedroom, and your phone on the kitchen table, you'll spend too much extra time looking for everything when you could be on your way. Every once in a while, you'll probably forget an important item and have to go back to retrieve it, making you even later. Instead, the moment you walk in the door, empty your pockets of all your essential items and put them in the same place every time. If you keep everything in your purse, put that in the same spot in your house every time, too. As you go about your daily routine around the house and think of items that you will need for your next trip, take the time to set them in the staging area. If you get in the habit of doing this, everything will be ready to go and you will not have to do the mental inventory countdown each time you are ready to go. You can go even further...

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Have everything ready the night before. Keep your essentials near the door. Create a staging area near the door. Anticipate delays before they happen. Commit yourself to being 15 minutes early for everything. Overestimate the time it'll take to get there.


If you're on an antidepressant, make sure to put them in your carry-on luggage to take with you. Also, make sure you have enough medication to last the whole trip. If you're going to need more than you have, talk to your doctor about getting an extension on your prescription. When you're on a trip, it can be tempting to cut your sleep time shorter with so much to see and do; however, that can just make any jet lag depressive symptoms you're experiencing that much worse.  That means you have to know how much sleep you need to feel okay. Maybe you're fine on seven hours, but you may also need a bit more, like eight-and-a-half. If you know you have trouble falling asleep in new situations, try to make it as much like  home as possible. Use sound to fall asleep if you normally do that at home, for instance. If you find a certain scent, such as lavender, relaxing, carry a satchel of it with you. You can also try guided sleep meditation. Many phone apps provide guided meditations for free, and you can use one designed for sleep to help you fall asleep. Block out any light. Make sure to pull all the curtains shut to block out as much street light as possible, or wear a sleep mask. Having good support, in the form of friends and family you can talk to, can help you deal with any depressive symptoms that come up. If possible, travel with someone you trust. If that's not possible, have someone who's willing to be available to talk when you need it.  For example, make sure your partner knows that you're nervous about being away on a business trip alone and worried about jet lag. You could ask them to check in with you each night to help you feel more secure. You could say, "I'm a little bit nervous about this trip. Would you mind calling me each night at about 9:30?" You could also tell a friend, "I'm going on a trip, and I'm worried that the jet lag might cause a relapse of my depression. Can I call you if I'm feeling down?" When traveling, take some time out to spend with other people, whether it's your friends,...

If you're on the go, Street View can be a great tool to help you find what you're looking for. Use it to take a peek at your destination before you go so you know what to keep your eyes open for, or look for a business in a foreign location. You can use Street View on any version of Google Maps, on any mobile device as long as you have a data connection. In order to access Street View, you will need to have a marker on the map. You can place a marker by searching for a location, tapping a business marker on the map, or by pressing and holding any spot on the map with your finger. When a marker is placed, the address will be displayed in a bar at the bottom of the map, along with a Navigation button. Swipe up on the bar with your finger to open the Save/Share screen. If Street View is available at that location, a photo will appear. If you don't pick a location on the road, you may not be able to load the Street View. Try placing the marker closer to a nearby road. Tap the photo to load Street View mode. The view will change to show the 360° photo. This will require a data connection to download the imagery. You can look around Street View by moving your finger around the screen. The camera will move in the opposite direction of your finger; for example, if you swipe down, the camera will point up. You can zoom in and out by pinching your fingers on the screen. Tap the look-around icon to point your phone and look around the image. This can be very useful if you are near your location and want to get your bearings. The icon is located in the lower-left corner and looks like two arrows points at each other. You can move to any location on the image by double-tapping. Street View will attempt to load the closest-possible location. You can also move back and forth on roads by tapping the arrows that appear on them. This is useful for simulating a drive, as turn arrows will appear at intersections.

If you're on your back, turn of on your stomach. Your legs should be straight out behind you. Your palms should be flat on the floor next to or just under your shoulders. Your elbows should be up in the air. Push just the top half of your body off the floor. It's sort of like doing a sit-up, but you're just curving your upper body into the air, not pushing your lower half up. Hold this position for about 30 seconds, then go back down to the floor. Repeat 3-5 times, or more if you prefer. You can this exercise several times throughout the day.

If you're only tying your hands, you will need at least four feet of rope. You may find that thin, smooth ropes—even string or twine—are the easiest to work with, but can pinch and really aren't suitable for tying yourself or anybody up.  Consider cotton clothesline. If you don't already have rope, you should be able to find something suitable at a hardware store.  Cut the rope to the length that you need. Rope and twine are generally sold in increments much larger than what you'll need to tie yourself up, and you'll be able to do a cleaner job if you buy them cut to size. If you don't want the rope to chafe your wrists, consider avoiding a thin, smooth rope. The thicker and rougher the rope, the more you risk hurting your wrists, cotton clothesline is best for beginners. Some people are allergic to nylon, so make sure that the rope won't irritate your skin. Wrap the rope around each of your wrists, and leave the ends of the rope free so that you can make a knot. Be sure to cinch or knot the rope between your wrists so that you can't wriggle free. Imagine that you are using the rope to make a pair of handcuffs: your hands should be tied into separate "cuffs," not one single, easy-to-slip-out-of wrap. When your wrists are wrapped up, tie a square knot, make a double-tied bow, or use another simple, sturdy knot. Your left palm should be facing down. You should see the rope crossed just beneath your left palm. Place your right palm against the palm of your left hand so that your wrists line up. If your hands are tied behind your back, it may look more like someone else tied you up. Once you have tied your hands in front of you, bring your bound hands low enough that you can step over them. Lift your legs over the knot so that your hands are bound behind your back.  Some people find it easier to tie their hands together when their wrists are already behind their back. Try clasping your wrists behind your back, then attempting to tie the same knot that you would tie with forward-facing hands. Consider using a...

If you're out hiking in a snake-friendly environment—e.g., the American southwest—wear protective clothing including long pants, tall hiking boots that cover your ankles, long sleeves, and gloves. Long pants and hiking boots will prevent the snake's fangs from penetrating your skin if one happens to bite you. If the snake is coiled and has reared its head up, it's in striking position and could strike at you at any moment. Don't turn your back on the snake and don't run. Instead, back away from the snake at a normal walking pace until you're at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away. While you should still back away from a snake that's extended full-length, it's less urgent. The snake will need to pause and coil its body before striking you. Always take a walking stick or trekking pole with you when you hike in snake country. As you’re backing away, if the snake slithers or strikes in your direction, use your walking stick to fend the snake off. Try to hook the end of the stick under one of the snake's coils and fling it far away from you and your group. Choose a stick at least 4 feet (1.2 m) long. if you or your companion are bitten. Keep the bitten limb lower than the individual’s heart to prevent venom from being distributed throughout the person’s body. Wrap a compression bandage around the bitten limb, and get to the nearest hospital as fast as possible.  If you're with an individual who is bitten, do not attempt to suck the venom from the wound! Also do not cut the wound open with a pocket knife in an attempt to drain out the venom. These strategies are both bad advice and will end up harming the person who has been bitten. As soon as a snake begins to constrict—even if it’s just being curious—hold your non-dominant arm against your rib cage. If you relax as the snake loops around you, it may not attempt to constrict you. In fact, the snake may just be curious. Struggling, however, prompts the snake to squeeze. So, remain still and don’t panic.  Struggling also communicates to the snake that you’re edible prey. If...

If you're planning on attending a graduate program in business, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the application process. However, it's important to remember that your test scores are only valid for a specific range of time. If you're not planning on attending your program in the near future, you may want to make sure that your scores would still be valid then, or hold off on taking the exam until a later date.  When you take the GMAT will depend, in part, on when your graduate school applications are due. The more time you give, the better, but you should take the GMAT a minimum of 21 days before the deadline. Remember that your GMAT scores are only valid for five years.  If you plan on attending a graduate program in the next year or two, it's best to begin planning and preparing now for the GMAT. If your plan is to attend graduate school in three or more years, you may want to wait another year before taking the GMAT to ensure your scores are valid. Every graduate program has different requirements and application deadlines. Some programs may accept late materials if the rest of your application is submitted on time, while other programs have a firm deadline and will consider any missing component an incomplete and ineligible application.  Find out what each program of interest will require from you, and what that program's deadline is. Some schools do not require the GMAT, though many do.  Many graduate programs have a minimum GMAT score that they'll accept, though that score will vary from one university to another. It's important to know what your school will require so that you can either cancel a poor score and/or retake the test as needed. Make sure your program is through an accredited college or university. You can search for business programs in your area by searching online, or use an online database of schools across the nation through the GMAT website. There are some basic requirements that anyone wishing to register for and schedule the GMAT must meet. In order to meet those requirements,...

If you're planning to have a romantic dinner at home, then the first thing you'll do is have a drink to inaugurate the start of your nice home-cooked meal. Wine is the most romantic choice, so if you and yours are wine drinkers, be prepared with a bottle of red or white wine (or more), depending on what you're eating. Red wines tend to go best with steak and other meats, while white wines are better on summer evenings and go well with lighter foods like shrimp or salads. If you're having a more casual meal or just really like beer, then beer is fine, too.  If you plan to drink beer, white wine, or another beverage that should be cold, make sure to put it in the fridge well in advance. You should also prepare some water with lemon in it for a nice touch. Put a pitcher of cold water on the table. You don't want to run to the fridge for water in the middle of the meal. After you pour your drinks, you should be ready with some simple appetizers. You don't want to spend an hour sipping your drinks and standing around waiting for the food to be ready. Though preparing food together -- or some of it -- is part of the fun of having a romantic dinner at home, it won't be much fun if you're both too hungry to feel romantic. Having a few simple appetizers ready, or planning for very simple treats that are easy to assemble, will get your meal off on the right foot. Pick simple finger foods that are fun and easy to eat while you're in the kitchen. Here are some perfect appetizers to try:  Make some bruschetta earlier in the day. All you need is a baguette, garlic, olive oil, onion, tomatoes, and a few other simple ingredients.  If you're feeling fancy, you can make deviled eggs the night before and enjoy them while you wait.  Prepare some home-made guacamole (or buy it) earlier in the day and serve it with a small bowl of tortilla chips. For the summer, make simple salad with four ingredients: watermelon, feta cheese, sunflower seeds, and mint. Hummus with pita chips and fresh veggies is always a big hit. Though cheese...

If you're planning to run your car insurance company as a full-time job, you will likely need to secure financing to do so. This will likely require either a loan or investment capital from private investors to cover your start-up costs and living expenses until you start generating revenue.  Whereas banks are sometimes hesitant offering new business loans, the SBA exists specifically to help start and run small businesses. Reach out to any personal connections you have in the business world.  Private investors can be a great source of investment capital. Have a carefully prepared proposal ready when you apply for financing.  This should contain details including the total capital you require, the salary you intend to pay yourself, and other initial expenses for the first few years.  This will help potential financiers assess the risk involved in a potential loan or investment. In order to sell insurance, you need to register in the city in which you tend to do business.  You also need to get a business license from the city.  Fill out all necessary applications and pay the associated fees.  While it is unlikely that you will have to undergo any further testing or coursework, there will certainly be paperwork and necessary payments. If you intend to hire employees or hope to incorporate your business, you will also need to acquire an agency license. Other aspects of your long term business plan will necessitate identifying customers and the specific sales strategies that will appeal to them, hiring qualified employees, and identifying competitors.  Once it feels like you’re ready to go, there are likely a few more things to do. Be sure you’ve met all legal requirements and have protected yourself and your business. Purchase liability and property insurance for your car insurance company to protect your assets in case of a natural disaster, an accident, and to protect from losses associated with lawsuits.

If you're playing a variation that allows you to start with face up cards, choose cards in different columns. This gives you more chances to "cancel" out a column. Unless you can cancel out your high scoring cards, you want to get rid of them so they don't add their high values to your score.  This is especially important as the game draws to a close. If your opponent is almost out of face down cards (or is looking smug), toss out your liabilities as quickly as possible! Much of the strategy in Golf comes down to paying attention to the other players.  If the player to your right is picking up Sixes, you should give up trying to cancel your own Sixes. They aren't likely to discard any. If the player to your left is trying to finish a column of Nines, try to avoid discarding your own Nine.

If you're playing in the standard survival mode, enemy zombies will spawn every night. You shouldn't have to walk far to find one or two once the sun goes down. Make sure to bring a weapon or two that aren't likely to break. Swords are a good choice because they are easy to make and do good damage. See our article on making swords in Minecraft for more information. You should quickly find a zombie or two. Kill the zombies you see, taking special care if you come across any with ranged weapons or high-level equipment. When killed, zombies may drop one of three items: rotten flesh, carrots, and potatoes.  Be patient. You may need to kill a few zombies before you get your first potato. If you can't see any zombies, listen for their telltale growl. If you hear it, you're definitely close! If you aren't seeing as many zombies as you'd like, you can increase the difficulty with the slider in the options menu. The harder the difficulty, the more zombies that will spawn at night. Be careful — at higher difficulties, it's easier to get swamped by hordes of deadly zombies. You'll want a few high-damage weapons before you start (armor is also a big plus). It's also sometimes possible to get potatoes without resorting to violence. For this, you'll need to find an NPC village on the map. These will be small gatherings of houses, churches, wells, and so on that are populated by computer characters. Look for small gardens or patches of cultivated land. You will often find wheat, carrots, or potatoes planted in these places. Potatoes will look green on top (about 3/5 of a block thick) and will have a beige color under the green. The problem with this method is that not every map has NPC villages. If you do find one, you may be able to get a few potatoes easily, but you may want to be prepared to kill zombies if you can't locate a village.

Go hunting for zombies at night. Start killing zombies. Crank up the difficulty for more zombies. Alternatively, look for potatoes in village gardens.

If you're pretty sure she likes you as more than just a friend, too, there's no harm in seeing where things go. If you can help her see you as a romantic interest, it's possible love will grow from the friendship - it happens all the time. If she flirts with you sometimes, or says things like "I can always be myself with you, and no one else," feel encouraged to open her eyes to your love for her. If she hasn't flirted with you or otherwise shown romantic interest, you can still reveal your feelings to her. While you can't control how she'll react, you can be yourself and see if she'd consider dating you instead of just being friends. She may like things just the way they are. Revealing your feelings is going to be a game changer. If she says she likes you too, the relationship will change; if she says she's not that into you, it will also change. Worst-case scenario, she won't feel as comfortable with you anymore, and she won't feel able to just go back to your normal friendship. Respect her feelings and her answer. No matter how much you love her, you can't make her love you back. She doesn't owe that to you. If you really care about her, don't keep trying to "win" her after she's already turned you down.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Try winning her over if you think she likes you back. Try it once if you're not sure how she'll respond. Beware sharing your feelings if you value the friendship. Always take no for an answer.


If you're prone to fatigue, you should make an appointment with your doctor to rule out potential medical problems.  Iron-deficiency, anemia, and hypothyroidism can all cause chronic fatigue and can be diagnoses with a simple blood test. If you're diagnosed with one of these disorders, your doctor can prescribe medication to lessen symptoms, including fatigue.  If you have trouble sleeping, your doctor may able to prescribe or suggest a safe sleep medication or herbal supplement to encourage sleep. Look through the medications you're currently taking and see if any of your meds may be causing your fatigue.  Many prescription drugs include fatigue in their possible list of side effects. If your dose is too high, fatigue is more likely. If you think a medication you're on is causing you to feel tired throughout the day, talk to your doctor about altering your dosage or managing side effects.  A lot of psychiatric drugs can cause fatigue. If your tiredness is so bad you're having trouble functioning in your day-to-day life, your psychiatrist may be able to switch you to an alternative med to see if the side effects are less acute. Developing good sleep habits can help improve the quality and duration of your sleep at night, resulting in less fatigue throughout the day.  Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, including weekends, can help you fall asleep and wake up faster as your body will adapt to a schedule.  Do not use electronics half an hour before bed, as the light generated by laptops, TV screens, and smart phones interfere with sleep. Instead, try a low-key activity like reading or doing a crossword puzzle.  If your exercise regularly, make sure to time your workouts effectively. Working out within an hour before bed raises adrenaline energy and interferes with sleep.  Take a warm shower or bath before you go to bed and sip on a light tea, such as calming herbal tea, to help you wind down. Try to avoid going to bed hungry and do not smoke before bedtime.

See a doctor. Check your medications. Practice good sleep hygiene.


If you're prone to razor burn or ingrown hairs, a multi-blade razor can make the problem worse. These razors shave too close to the skin and cause irritation. Single or double bladed razors won't get so close, which will help prevent irritation. Throw away disposable razors or change the blades in your razor every five to seven shaves. Always make sure to wet your skin before you shave your face. This will help to moisten your skin and soften the hairs, which makes shaving easier. You can splash warm water on your face, or wet a washcloth with warm water, wring it out, and then wrap it around you face and neck to help prep your skin. Shaving cream creates a barrier between your skin and the razor, so it can help to prevent nicks and razor burn. Find shaving cream with glycolic acid or salicylic acid to prevent ingrown hairs. These two ingredients exfoliate the skin and help prevent razor burn. They will also kill pimple-causing bacteria. Do not shave against the grain of your hair. Shave in the direction of your facial hair growth. Be cautious when shaving around acne. Do not try to shave off your acne. Just shave over it lightly, or try using an electric razor to trim facial hair in these areas. Witch hazel helps fight irritation, infection, and redness. It can also tighten the skin, giving your face a firmer appearance. In addition, witch hazel can reduce swelling, which makes it good to apply around the eyes if you've been up all night.

Choose a razor with one or two blades. Wet your skin before you start shaving. Use shaving cream. Shave in the direction of your hair growth. Apply witch hazel after shaving.


If you're really out of practice, you might have to fake it til you make it. Sometimes just going through the motions of caring will put you in the right situation to develop feelings about something until you actually do start to care. This isn't to say you should pretend to care about things just because other people do, or pretend to care about something you actually can't stand. But in some circumstances, it's OK to practice caring in hopes that you'll start feeling something soon enough.  Going through the motions can put you in closer proximity to something or someone you normally wouldn't have the chance to get to know very well. For example, maybe you don't feel very strongly about your next door neighbor, but you shovel her driveway when it snows, just to be nice. After awhile, the polite conversations the two of you have, which were sparked by your courtesy, could lead to a truly caring relationship. Going through the motions can also help you learn more about something, leading you to care. You might think you don't care at all about biology, but you're doing your best in class so you can get a good grade. After studying hard and engaging in class discussions, you might find that the subject is actually compelling to you. It's really hard to start caring about something when you're watching instead of participating. Every chance you get to try something new or get more involved, try saying "yes" more often than "no." You never know where your positive attitude will take you. You might discover hidden talents and passions you never would have known were there. If you have bad self esteem, you might need to start your mission to care more by valuing yourself first. Caring about yourself means treating yourself with kindness and being concerned about the way your story ends up.  Practice self-care on a daily basis to keep yourself in good physical and mental health. Do things every day to help you feel less stressed out and more self confident. Many people find that simple things like eating wholesome...

Go through the motions even if you don't really feel it. Be a joiner instead of standing on the sidelines. Care about yourself, too. Know when you should pull back.


If you're really working to turn your grades around but you're not making any headway, try talking to your teacher. Set up a meeting after school or at lunch and explain your problem to them: you're trying to improve your grades but studying more, taking notes, and other traditional methods aren't working. They might be better able to understand where you're struggling and help you find a way to overcome the problem. If you're working hard on your coursework and you've shown your teacher that you've really changed your approach to learning, you should consider asking for extra credit or even a special, big side project. This can help make up for poor grades you got earlier and help you end with an A...even if you had a C! Make sure you explain to your teacher everything you've been working on, so that they know you're serious. A lot of teachers don't like extra credit, but they'll probably have sympathy if they see you really working to put yourself on a better path. If you're really having a hard time, ask your teacher or your university's tutoring center if they can help you find a tutor. Getting a tutor isn't admitting defeat and it doesn't make you dumb: a tutor is a tool, like a code book or a translator. Everyone has something that they don't understand at some point and you're making the smart decision by using every weapon in your arsenal to defeat your lack of understanding. When you study with other people, you're pulling together all of your different pieces of intelligence and understanding to make one academic ace! You can compare notes and discuss the class to make sure that you all have the fullest, best understanding of the material. Just remember: you have to give a good as you get when working with others or no one will want to work with you. Sometimes, if you take your learning into an immersive environment or do it in a way that gives you a way to really see what it is you're learning, this can help you learn the information a lot better. Find a way to make your subject real and give...

If you're running in the top 5-10% of the competition, you should position yourself in the outside of lane one or inside of lane two. Establish your position as soon as possible upon starting the race. Make sure to position yourself near the front of the pack as well. During the middle of the race, position yourself behind the leaders and maintain a steady pace. This way, if you are running against the wind, the leaders’ bodies will block most of it, helping you to conserve energy. Additionally, make sure to pay attention to the leaders. Only speed up your pace if the leaders speed up their pace. When you have 300 meters left to run, accelerate your pace. Once you hit the 200-meter mark, accelerate to an all-out sprint. If you are behind the leaders at this point, then move yourself to an outside lane and propel yourself forward to get ahead. Maintain your speed until you reach the finish line. Make sure you stay in the second or third lane at the 300-meter mark to avoid getting boxed in.

If you're saving up for something but can't be bothered to wait, set up a stall outside your house. It's the easiest thing to do - get some old toys and make some food, and you're done. If it doesn't go that well, at least you had fun trying and you've tidied out the old things to make way for the new. Check with your local council to make sure you are allowed to do this. Try babysitting, car washing, lawn mowing, garden tidying, house-sitting, pet-sitting, dog walking, etc.

If you're serious about controlling your behavior, you will need to spend time thinking about and writing down the reasons you engage in this behavior. This way, if you find it hard to quit, you can read the paper and remember why you started trying in the first place. Sometimes, writing stuff down can also get the words you want to say out of your system without anybody criticizing you. What is it about music that draws you in so much that you find it hard to live without it? Maybe you find it hard to make friends or communicate, or maybe your music speaks the words you want to hear but can't bring yourself to say. Whatever the reason is, you need to become aware of the reasons you choose to engage in this behavior. Write the reason down on your paper. It could also be more than one reason––scribble them all down too. Becoming aware of your habit is extremely important in getting over it. Spend one day tracking your listening habits. Do this by making a note of when you start listening to music and when you stopped (e.g. started at 7:45 am and stopped at 10:30 am). Before you go to bed at night, add up the total number of hours.  In order to change, you will need to set goals about changing your behavior. It will be easier to set concrete goals if you know exactly how much time you spend listening to music. During the day you track your listening time, listen to music as you normally would. You can be even more accurate by tracking your listening habits over a few days. This may provide you with a more accurate picture.

Grab a pen and paper. Consider why you listen to music. Find out how many hours you listen to music each day.


If you're serving rice alongside a spicier dish, you can add some spice to the rice to match. Cook rice in a mixture of half salsa and half water for a savory, spicy dish.  However, keep in mind rice is sometimes used to cool down your mouth when eating something spicy. Use a salsa that's slightly more mild than the dish you're making so the rice isn't overwhelming. If you're making a very spicy dish, use something like carrot juice instead of salsa. This way, your rice will have a savory flavor to match without being too hot. Try substituting water for chicken or vegetable broth. This can give your rice a little extra flavor. Chicken and vegetable broth are great flavoring options if you want a side dish with a mild, but noticeable, flavor. Vegetables with strong flavors can be diced and cooked in the pot with rice. Add some diced onions, cranberries, cherries, or peas to the pot where you're cooking rice. The flavor will seep into the rice during the cooking process, creating a rich built-in flavor for your rice. You can also add in herbs or spices that pair well with the vegetables you're adding. For example, add in some freshly minced garlic alongside diced onions. For a sweet, spicy dessert rice, add a cinnamon stick to your rice before cooking. Add some cloves of cinnamon and garlic as well, for a very strong flavor. Cook your rice as you normally would. When your rice is cooked, you'll have a dish with a bold, slightly sweet flavor.

If you're single and want to settle down, it's important that you not rush things. It can take a while to meet people, let alone meet the right people for starting a long term relationship with, so try to take it slowly at first and let things progress at their own pace. This will work differently for every relationship, so work at your own pace.  It's not usually a good idea to discuss things like marriage and children right off the bat when you meet someone you're interested in. For some people, especially older couples, this can work out fine, it's not always the best way to get to know someone. Your goal for the first days, weeks, and months of a relationship shouldn't be settling down, it should be getting to know the person. For this reason, it's usually best to keep long-term conversations out of it, at least for a couple of months. Pay attention to shared values and belief you have with the person. This can help to give you an idea of your compatibility. Introduce your partner to your friends and your family after a couple of months and wait until later to ask what they think about the person you're seeing. If everyone goes on and on about how happy you seem together, how good you seem to be for each other, and other compliments, take it as a good sign. It's true that love is often blind, and it can make us ignore obvious faults in potential long-term partners, things that your friends and family might be able to pick up on more easily. It can be helpful to get a second opinion from trusted friends and loved ones whom you trust. Remember, it's still your relationship, and these decisions are ultimately up to you. If your friends don't like your partner, that doesn't necessarily mean more than that they're incompatible, as long as you're happy together. If you're with someone and are thinking about committing to a long term relationship, it's important that you first discuss whether or not your partner is interested in one, and get all the cards out on the table. There are lots of different types of...

If you're someone who feels reluctant to ask for more money for reasons ranging from fear of asking through to issues of self-esteem and a lack of confidence in your worth, it's time to face your nemesis. Being so grateful to get work in hard times, anxious about receiving a "no", or not being bothered to even ask are not good approaches. Whatever the reason stopping you from are ways of stopping you from getting the best deal. Here are some common factors that hold many people back from negotiating the best possible deal:  Fear: Probably the most common reason people don't ask for more money, this relates to fear of being rejected, fear of coming across as too pushy, fear of resentment from your future bosses and fear of being miserable if the answer is no. Fear is a killer of all good things in life and the sooner you face it, the better off you'll be, mentally and financially. Excusing the salary offered: Telling yourself that the offered salary is already good enough, that you don't need more or that you will love the job so the money offered will be sufficient, etc., are all excuses. They're excuses to not even try, to not engage and to not negotiate. You deserve more than excuses. After all, do you love the job enough to come in for free? No, of course not––it's not that kind of passion! Humility: A dash of humble thoughtfulness is perfect now and then but it doesn't pay to be a lifelong doormat, especially not when your well-being is at stake. Worrying about things like being paid more than your friends or family members, not being seen as humble or downgrading your worth because of innate talent rather than effort are not healthy signs of humility––they're ways of putting yourself down. There will be ample time enough to display humility on the job when a boss takes all the glory for your work! If you really do have a problem with not been seen to be humble, practice having gratitude for the ability to make the request in advance of your asking––that way, you can work around the worry of not being...

Overcome any reticence about asking for a higher salary. Steel yourself. Be prepared for "no" as another possibility. Treat this as a business transaction, because it is. Practice.


If you're squinting even though there is adequate light without being overpowering, chances are there is something wrong with your vision. If it's been more than one or two years since your last eye exam, then it's time to get a new one. Eye exams may not be free depending on where you live so consult your Doctor, family or friends as they may have recommendations. Depending on your insurance, you may be covered for eye care as new glasses can set you back upwards of $500; however, there are also lower cost online distributors who will send low-cost glasses straight to your home after you send them your prescription. Ask your eye care specialist what options are available at your location. Check your ego at the door and always use your glasses or contacts as prescribed to you. It's easy to get lazy or vain and avoid having to wear them. Choose a pair of glasses that suit your style and facial structure and keep them close by so that straining (and squinting) is minimized. Consider a bifocal lens if you find you are constantly wearing and removing glasses for different situations but consult an optometrist before doing so. If you squint because of difficulty focusing, move closer to or further away from the subject whenever possible. For example, ask to sit in the front of the classroom or boardroom if it will help you focus. You can also reserve your seat or come early to a movie or play if you know what row you need to be at for optimum viewing.

If you're starting with zero experience, the best way (bar none) to get any sort of radio show is to start participating in the process of creating an existing radio show. Working or volunteering in a radio station gives you an introduction to the workflow and regular tasks that go into producing a successful radio show. It also gives you much-needed experience to put on your resume when you're applying for airtime. Most importantly, it gives you a chance to make contacts inside the station. Knowing someone in the industry can make all the difference in the world when it comes to landing your first show — radio station staff are much, much more likely to hire people they know and trust to be show hosts than they are to hire strangers.  One great idea for building up your radio station experience is to try volunteering for a local community radio station (like, for instance, a college radio station). These stations are usually not operated for profit and depend on the work of volunteers to stay on the air, which means it can be relatively easy to find a place on the staff compared to a for-profit station. Some radio stations offer internships and apprenticeships to interested applicants, especially young students. Some of these internships are integrated with a local school or college's communications department, which means that they usually recruit solely from the pool of students in the department, while other internships may accept applicants from the general public.  Depending on the amount of time you work, an internship can sometimes be more useful for getting a show than working from the bottom up in the station. Good internships are career-focused and offer opportunities for employment after the completion of the internship. However, even with an internship, it may be necessary to work in the radio industry for several years before getting a show. Following the correct educational path for becoming a radio host will only help your chances of getting your own show. Also, as noted above, educational...

If you're still unsure whether your hair is fraying at the tips, ask your hair stylist to take a look the next time you get your hair cut or styled. You could also ask a friend to take a look at your hair for signs of fraying. This may be especially helpful if you have short hair and can't pull the hair between your fingers to check. Consider how often your hair tangles. If it frequently tangles or needs to be brushed, your hair probably has split ends that are contributing to the knots. Research has shown that overusing dandruff shampoos that contain ketoconazole 2% can cause split ends. Blowing out, curling, using a flat-iron straightener and chemically treating your hair (with bleaching, coloring, or perming) can all damage your hair over time. Even a simple hair routine like brushing your hair can damage hair if you brush your hair when it's wet. Similarly, pulling on your hair too hard can also cause split ends. Since hair is made up of tissue that isn't living, you can't heal the split ends. Although you can help the split ends stay closer together by moisturizing well, the hair is still damaged. To treat split ends, you need to trim at least 1/2 an inch or 1 inch (2.5 cm) (depending on how bad the split ends are). If you have a lot of split ends, consider getting a complete trim of all of your hair cutting at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the ends. Always use scissors to trim in a straight line. Never tear the hair using your fingertips. Be gentle on your hair. Avoid repeated hair treatments that can damage your hair. For example, don't brush your hair forcefully or you could break the strands. You should also avoid chemically treating your hair on a regular basis. This might mean that you follow your hair's natural tendencies rather than fighting them. Remember to trim your hair at least once every few months to catch split ends before they damage your hair.  For example, if you have curly hair, don't use a flat-iron straightener every day. This can damage your hair over time and cause split ends. You can...

If you're suffering from dry, cracked elbows or dry skin in general, it's important to avoid harsh soaps and cleansers, which can further dry out your skin. Choose a product which is formulated for dry skin. Fragrances and dyes are often irritating to the skin and can cause further redness and dryness. Choose cleansers and moisturizes which are fragrance and dye free. If you're having trouble sorting through selection at the drugstore, try looking for products designed for babies. They are typically much milder and are often fragrance and dye-free. Don't over-exfoliate; scrubbing your skin too roughly will only further strip your skin of important moisturizing oils. It's recommended that you use your hands or a soft washcloth to exfoliate. An important step to curing your cracked and dry elbows is to properly moisture and smooth them out. Not all moisturizes are created equally, though.  Products with ceramide and hyaluronic acid will help your skin retain moisture.   Products with dimethicone and glycerin are useful for drawing water to the skin.   Products with lanolin, mineral oil, and/or petroleum jelly are also recommended and are excellent at helping you retain water.   Look for lotions with lactic acid; beyond moisturizing your elbows, the lactic acid gently exfoliates your flaky skin. Don't dry off completely; it's better to apply lotion while your skin is still damp. Your dry, cracked elbows may find relief from a variety of home remedies starting in the kitchen.  Use yogurt on your elbows. Yogurt is high in lactic acid, which will gently help exfoliate your flaky skin. Greek variety yogurt is particularly thick and concentrated. Leave on your elbows for up to 15 minutes.   Try using organic honey on your ailing elbows, which has long been lauded as an excellent remedy for dry chapped skin. You can mix the honey with your yogurt spread (above), or apply straight to your elbows.   Treat your elbows with lemon. The citric acid in lemon can work to lighten the dark and dry skin on your elbows, and will...
