There are three primary ways to communicate emotions (particularly anger); they fall into the categories of “passive,” “aggressive,” or “assertive.”  Learning to use assertive communication can help you communicate with others in a healthy way.  Passive communication involves becoming progressively angry about something without actually dealing with the problem or confronting the situation in any way.  Passive behavior can often lead to secret revenge or other negative behaviors (known as passive-aggressive behavior).  Aggressive communication involves becoming so angry that you have an outburst that likely seems like an overreaction to the situation from the outside. Aggressive outbursts can also be paired with violence. Assertive communication is a healthy, respectful way to address and confront the person or situation that is causing you to become angry. Part of assertive communication is acknowledging that your needs as well as the needs of the other person (or people) involved are important. This takes the focus off of you and shows that you are appreciative of the needs of others. For example, if you are about to get mad at your husband because he did not pick up dinner on his way home, you could start your conversation by saying, “I know that you have a lot of different responsibilities that weigh on you” (acknowledging his needs). Then you could say, “I also have a lot going on, and when you forget to pick up dinner, it messes up the schedule that I had planned.” Using “please” and “thank you” can go a long way towards seeming respectful of another. Treat the other party with respect, acknowledging that he has a side to the story as well. For example, instead of immediately getting mad at your husband for not picking up dinner, you might say, “do you have an alternate plan for dinner?” He may have come up with another idea.  Even if he did just forget, asking with curiosity about an alternate plan is kinder than immediately demanding, “where is the dinner you said you would pick up?!” when he walks in...

There are three types of plastic pipe, and each will only work with certain glues. The easiest way to identify them is to look for the worldwide recycling symbol, a triangle formed from three arrows with a number or letters to identify the type of plastic. Learn how to use this and other identification methods before selecting a glue.  PVC pipe is common in residential plumbing, although it should not be used for distribution lines or other high-temperature applications. It is usually white, or grey if used for electrical or industrial purposes. Its recycling symbol is 6 or PVC. CPVC pipe is PVC pipe treated to withstand higher temperatures. It has an identical recycling symbol (6 or PVC) but is usually tan or cream colored. ABS is an older and more flexible type of plastic piping, usually black in color. It is not suitable for drinking water purposes and in some regions may not be legal for any plumbing uses. Its recycling symbol is 9, ABS, or 7 (other). PEX pipe is the newest type of plastic piping, available in many colors. It is not recyclable. It cannot be glued, and must be attached using mechanical fitting tools. The material that bonds plastic piping together is called solvent cement. Find the specific solvent cement you need after you've identified the type of plastic.  ABS solvent cement will join two ABS pipes together. PVC solvent cement and CPVC solvent cement similarly join two pipes of that type. Transition solvent cement is used to join an ABS pipe to a PVC pipe. Its distinctive green color makes it easy to identify. If you can't find a more specialized product, universal solvent cement will do an okay job for any combination of PVC, CPVC, and ABS. You should still identify your pipe beforehand to rule out PEX pipe, which must be fitted instead of glued. Read the label of the solvent cement to make sure it will work on the size of pipe you're using. To attach a plastic pipe to a metal one, you may need a specific adhesive for that specific plastic and specific metal combination, or a...

There are three types of tachycardia: atrial or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), sinus tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia. They are caused by different things, and discovering which type of tachycardia you are suffering from will help your doctor decide on the appropriate treatment.  Atrial or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) begins in the upper chambers of the heart. It is the most common type of tachycardia found in children and may be caused by anxiety, fatigue, smoking, drinking alcohol, or caffeine.  Sinus tachycardia may be caused by a fever, anxiety, medication or recreational drugs, fright, strenuous exercise, or severe emotional distress.  Ventricular tachycardia begins in the lower chambers of the heart and can be life-threatening. Seek immediate treatment if you have another cardiac condition and experience rapid heart beat. Ventricular tachycardia may be caused by lack of oxygen in the heart, medication, sarcoidosis (an inflammatory disease), or distortion of the structure of the heart due to disease. Some medications, particularly when they are combined with others, can trigger bouts of tachycardia as a negative side effect. More specifically, anti-arrhythmic drugs (used to treat abnormal heart rhythms), digitalis, asthma medications, steroid therapy and most cold/cough remedies are well known to increase heart rate. Ask your doctor if your prescription medication(s) could trigger tachycardia as an unwanted side effect.  Due to complex chemical interactions in the human body, it's virtually impossible to predict how more than two medications (taken concurrently) may interact with each other. Read the list of side effects of your drugs carefully. If you suspect a medication is triggering bouts of tachycardia, don't stop taking the drug "cold turkey" without the supervision of your doctor — it may cause worse symptoms. It's better to wean yourself off a medication and then switch to another with similar actions. Cardiovascular disease, particularly atherosclerosis, increases blood...

There are times in life when you get too busy to think about what interests you. If you want to be more adventurous, then you need to take the time to have some fun and explore. Perhaps you've always wanted to travel or spend a school semester in a foreign country. Maybe designing sets for stage plays has always intrigued you.  If you want to be adventurous in your career, access questionnaires online that help identify your interests.  Talk to people who are doing the things that interest you. Ask them if they have any tips for getting involved. You might discover new interests that you didn't even know about. For example, there might be a martial arts studio that you drive by each day. One day you decide to be adventurous and make a visit. You observe a class and like what you see, and sign up for a class. You may know someone who does the things you want to do. She might be a person who seems fearless and accomplishes what she sets out to do. She spends her vacations building houses for the poor, whitewater rafting, and scuba diving in the ocean. You admire this person and you would like to learn from them about being adventurous.  Choose a mentor to help you. A mentor can be a friend, family member or someone you are acquainted with at work. Talk to the person and ask, “I am trying to be more adventurous in my life and it seems like you do that really well. Is there any advice you can give me? Would you mind if I checked in with you periodically to talk about this?” You can model your behavior after a professional you don't know. For example, if there is an oceanographer you admire who has a TV show you can watch the show and follow the person on social media. You can ask the person questions via social media channels. Lay out your plans to take a trip, make a change or try something new. Determine how often you want to do these things. Commit to doing something new once a day, week, or month. If you schedule your events, making them a “to-do list,” you are more likely to carry them out.  It could be fun...

There are tons of pink shoes for men on the market right now, and many of them come in pastel shades. If you prefer a softer color or just don’t want your shoes to stand out as much, stick with colors like blush and cherry blossom. If you love wearing pink and aren’t afraid to take it to the next level, pick a pair of shoes in a bright, daring shade like magenta, fuchsia, or raspberry. Pair your hot pink shoes with clothes in neutral colors to make them stand out. For instance, wearing tailored white pants with hot pink shoes really makes them pop. Pink sneakers are a super trendy item for men right now, so you’ll probably be able to find a pair from your favorite shoe designer. Pair them with jeans or shorts for running errands, working out, or meeting up with friends.  Hit the gym in black shorts, pink sneakers, and a plain white tee. Head to the bar in dark-wash jeans, a graphic black tee, and pink sneakers. You can find several styles of dress shoes, from loafers to brogues, in shades of pink. Wear them with suits or slacks in neutral, complementary colors like gray or navy.  Gray dress pants would look great paired with pink wing-tips. Choose a button-up shirt with a pattern containing the same shade of pink as your shoes. A navy suit with a white shirt and pink oxfords will make a statement for special events. Though pink isn’t usually thought of as a rugged color, it can be when talking about Timberlands! If you prefer work boots over dress shoes or sneakers but still want to wear pink, you’re in luck. Several companies have come out with pink boots for men. Pair them with jeans and a solid-colored shirt to keep that rugged vibe. Distressed jeans and a white henley would look great with pink boots.

There are too many different micro-components of animation to address in this article, but several common (and important) concepts can be found in online forums, courses, and guides, as well as in any animation or art resources found at your local library. Common concepts to study include the following:   Color — Knowing which colors pair well and which combinations to avoid will help you create a more pleasant animation (or, if you're going for dissonant imagery, create a distressing animation).  Composition — This refers to knowing how to fill the screen with your animation in an efficient, aesthetically pleasing manner.  Perspective — Knowing how to demonstrate the dimensions of an image will deepen your animation.  Anatomy — Proper understanding of anatomy can help you create structurally accurate animations. It can also help you figure out which anatomical rules you can break while maintaining a believable animation. First, write down everything that you want to happen. This doesn't just mean dialogue; you should include actions and facial expressions as well. You need to have a clear idea of exactly what's going to happen before you start. . Storyboards are the next step: these are drawings that show major actions and scenes throughout your animation. They tell the story overall and look much like a comic book. You'll want to have a reference to look at as you draw your frames so that the character looks consistent and real from pose to pose. Draw your characters from every different angle and with a number of different expressions. You should also draw out what they'll be wearing, especially if what they're wearing changes between scenes. This is a single drawing on a single piece of paper that shows all of the major stages of movement in a single frame. This will often result in a picture that looks like conjoined quintuplets, but it's designed to make sure that your key frames are correctly aligned and that your motions look natural. Squash and stretch is when you exaggerate motions to help the human...

There are two basic categories of ADHD medication: stimulants (such as methylphenidate and amphetamine) and non-stimulants (such as guanfacine and atomoxetine).   Hyperactivity is treated successfully with stimulant medication because the brain circuitry being stimulated is responsible for controlling impulsivity and improving focus.  Stimulants (Ritalin, Concerta, and Adderall) help regulate neurotransmitters (norepinephrine and dopamine).  These medications can be short-acting or longer-acting. This means that the effects of the medication can last a short period of time, which can be useful for individuals who can manage their ADHD most of the time, or some medications can last throughout the day.  Non-stimulants boost norepinephrine, a chemical in the brain that seems to help with attention span. These types of medications are longer-lasting as well. Stimulants have fairly common side effects of decreased appetites and trouble sleeping. Sleep issues often can be resolved by lowering the dosage.  Your child’s psychiatrist or pediatrician may also add a prescription to improve sleeping such as clonidine or melatonin. For children ages 4-5, the primary treatment approach recommended is behavioral modification and parent training, with the option to use methylphenidate if behavioral techniques do not fully manage symptoms.  Combination of behavioral therapy is recommended along with medication for all age groups Non-stimulant medications may work better for some persons with ADHD. Non-stimulant anti-depression medications are often used to treat ADHD. These help regulate neurotransmitters (norepinephrine and dopamine).  Some of the side effects are more worrisome than others. For instance, youth taking atomoxetine must be monitored closely for the potential of having suicidal thoughts.   Some side effects for guanfacine include sleepiness, headache, and irritability. Deciding on the right form, dosage, and specific prescription of medication is tricky because people respond uniquely to different medications....

There are two basic tests you must take:   The Series 7. Formally known as the General Securities Registered Representative Examination. This test is given by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is the most difficult test you will take (lasting 6 hours). After passing it, you'll be a "registered representative," or stockbroker. You have the authority to sell all securities and investments except for real estate, life insurance, and commodities futures. It costs $290.00 currently.   The Series 63. This one is just about conducting business and the various laws that govern transactions. It's a lot shorter (75 minutes) and much easier. This one costs $96.00 They're not exactly necessary, but they do make it so nothing is off-limits to you. Those exceptions mentioned in the Series 7? Those go away once these tests are passed.   The Series 65. Your firm may require you to become a "Registered Investment Adviser." You must take the 65 for them to use professional management platforms.  The Series 66. Just a combination of the 63 and 65.  The Series 3. This test is required to sell commodities futures contracts.  The Series 31. To sell managed futures funds, you'll need to take this test. It's usually obtained in lieu of the 3. The Series tests just aren't a thing. Across the pond, you could have either a CFA Society UK Level 4 Certificate in Investment Management, a CISI Level 4 Diploma in Investment Advice, a CISI Level 7 Master's in Wealth Management, a Fellow or Associate of the Faculty or Institute of Actuaries, or a Manchester Metropolitan University BA (Hons) in Financial Services, Planning and Management. After your exams are in the bag, you'll need to complete your registration with FINRA/NFA, and register with the Securities Commission of each state that you plan on working in. Here are the basics:  Pass a background check (anything beyond a minor traffic violation may disqualify you)  Get a fingerprint card Complete paperwork for both state and federal levels If only the hard part were...

There are two different types of US Savings Bonds the Treasury Department offers. Learning about these two types of bonds can help you figure out the best type of bond for your needs.  The two types of bonds are EE Bonds and I Bonds.  There are many similarities between EE and I bonds, but there are a few difference including the form in which they come and the amount of interest earnings.  You can no longer buy savings bonds at financial institutions such as banks or credit unions. Type EE bonds are only available online and have a variable rate of interest depending on the purchase date. If you want a fixed rate of interest return and the convenience of tracking the bonds online, Type EE bonds might be the right choice for you.  Paper EE bonds are no longer available. You can only buy EE bonds online at the Treasury Department’s website.  EE bonds earn a fixed rate of interest that is reset every six months after May and November of the year. Since 2005,the rate has varied between 3.7% and 0.1%. Type I bonds are available in paper form if purchased using your IRS tax return. If you want a combined rate interest return and a physical paper bond, Type I bonds might be the right choice for you.  You can buy Type I bonds using your IRS tax refund at face value or online at the Treasury Department website.  Type I bonds earn a combined rate of interest. This rate is based on a fixed rate of return either known when you buy the bond and an inflation rate that the Treasury Department calculates twice a year. Although the format and interest rates of Types EE and I bonds differ, there are many similarities between them. Recognizing these similarities may help you to decide which bond type is the best for you.  The purchase price of each bond is the face value of the bond. A $50 bond costs $50 if you buy it either electronically or using your tax refund.  You can buy electronic bonds in any amount of $25 or more to the penny. Thus, you could buy an electronic bond for $100.15.  You can buy paper I bonds in $50...

There are two different types of lovebird pox and they cause two different types of pox. Dry lovebird pox affect the exterior of the bird's body and wet lovebird pox affects the inside of the lovebird's body.  Dry avian pox causes wart-like scaly growths on the featherless areas of the surface of a bird's body. They can show up around the eyes, the beak, or on the legs and feet. Avian pox that appear on the eyes can be mistaken for conjunctivitis. "Growths" on the actual eyes are usually avian pox. Wet avian pox causes lesions in the mucus membranes of the bird, specifically in the oral and nasal cavities of the lovebird. These lesions are harder to spot than the dry version but they can be even more serious, as they can interfere with the breathing and eating of the bird. Take your lovebird to a veterinarian if you suspect avian pox. When you call for an appointment, let the veterinary office know that you suspect pox, so that they can keep your bird isolated and avoid spreading the infection.  The symptoms of lovebird pox may look a lot like tumors, abscesses, or a bacterial or viral infection. This is why a veterinary diagnosis is necessary. Diagnosis of avian pox is done by biopsying the pox and looking at the it under a microscope. Additional infections, such as candidiasis, can establish themselves in the open wounds caused by the pox. Your veterinarian is likely to prescribe an antibiotic to help eliminate this type of additional infection. For example, your veterinarian may prescribe an eye ointment to treat eye infections caused by the pox. There is no specific treatment for the virus that causes lovebird pox. However, there are a variety of things that can be done to make your bird more comfortable and to support its immune system. These include:  Give your bird vitamin A to increase the health of the birds skin. Tube feed the bird if it is having difficulty eating. Moisten scabs that are causing the bird discomfort.

There are two main reasons a dog may be a picky eater. The first reason is that your dog may be sick.  The second reason is that your dog is a picky eater because he has often had the luxury of wet food or human food. To find out the cause of your dog's picky eating, you will need to take him to the veterinarian for a checkup. If your dog is well, then he may be a picky eater due to conditioning. In this case,  you will need to work with your dog to change his habits. Be sure to tell your veterinarian when the picky eating started. A dog that is sick may become a picky eater overnight. You may notice that your dog only nibbles at his food or that he is not eating at all. This may be because he is nauseated or has lost his appetite. Medical conditions such as heart, kidney or liver disease, digestive problems, tumors, or dental problems can all be a cause of picky eating. Even if your dog is healthy, being picky eater may cause health and behavior problems ranging from mild to severe and even life-threatening. These problems may include:  Obesity Pancreatitis Nutrient deficiencies Difficulty treating a chronic disease later in life Diarrhea Behavioral problems, such as begging

There are two main types of exercises you can do in regards to weight lifting.  You can choose lower amounts of repetitions or higher amounts of repetitions.  Studies have shown that higher reps build more muscle mass. High volume sets, three to six, with repetitions ranging from six to 12, tend to increase muscle size.  When you begin your workout to help build a bigger upper-body, focus on a higher amount of repetitions with each exercise you do. Higher reps do build strength, but not as much as lower repetitions.  If you want to build mass and strength include a combination of both high and low rep exercises. Compound moves generally will help you reach your goal of building mass better than isolation exercises.  Compound exercises are those that typically use free weights or body weight and recruit multiple joints and muscles to perform.  These types of exercises typically are the best for building more mass.  Exercises like deadlifts and squats are examples of compound exercises. Isolation exercises are those that target only a small group of muscles - like bicep curls.  These are great for more fine toning or tweaking, not to build mass. When you're doing any sort of physical activity, it's important to include time for rest.  This is particularly true when you're targeting a specific set of muscles.  Rest is the time where your muscles get stronger and increase in size.  This doesn't actually happen during the activity itself.  Take rest days during the week in addition to making sure you do not work your upper-body each day.  Aim for every other day or 2-3 days a week of upper-body training. When you do not rest and recover properly, you can suffer muscle fatigue, poor performance and poor results. Although cardio doesn't do much to bulk up your upper-body, it's still an essential activity to include in any workout.  It's typically considered a good idea to include about 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardio each week. Many activities can count towards "moderate intensity" including jogging,...

There are two main types of hard drive that you might want to add data to or remove data from:   External hard drive - External hard drives are USB-connected drives. If you're attempting to connect a brand-new external hard drive to a Mac, you may need to format it for your Mac's file system, which is usually Mac OS Extended (Journaled), before you can use it on your Mac. You may also need a USB 3 to USB-C adapter if your Mac only has USB-C slots.  Internal hard drive - Internal hard drives are built to connect directly to your computer's motherboard. You will need to remove the hard drive from its computer, determine whether it is IDE (indicated by a several-inch-wide ribbon connector) or SATA (indicated by a narrow ribbon connector), and find an IDE- or SATA-to-USB adapter. Connect the drive's USB cable to your computer. If you're connecting an internal hard drive, you'll need to connect the adapter to your computer and then attach the IDE or SATA cable to the adapter's appropriate slot. If your Mac doesn't have traditional USB slots, you'll need to find a USB 3 to USB-C adapter as well. Click the blue, face-like app in your Mac's Dock. On the left side of the Finder window, click a folder that contains the files that you want to move onto the attached hard drive. If you want to move files from the hard drive onto your computer, skip ahead to the "Click the attached hard drive's name" step. Click and drag your mouse across the files, or hold down ⌘ Command while clicking individual files to select them independently. You can also click one file and then press ⌘ Command+A to select every file in the folder. Press ⌘ Command+C to do so. It's in the lower-left side of the Finder window. Doing so will open the hard drive's window. Click the hard drive's window, then press ⌘ Command+V. The files will begin copying onto the hard drive.

There are two types of articles in the English language: definite and indefinite.  "The" is a definite article and refers to one specific thing.  "A" and "an" are indefinite articles and refer to a general noun.  If you are referring to any dog at all, say "a dog." If you are referring to one particular dog, say "the dog." Use "an" instead of "a" if the noun that follows begins with a vowel sound, as with "I would like an apple" or "I will be there in an hour." One mark of a non-native speaker is the incorrect use of prepositions (words such as on, to, in, among, and around). If you wish to speak as fluently as a native speaker, pay careful attention to how these short words are used by native speakers. Unfortunately, the rules about when to use a particular preposition are inconsistent.  For example, it is common to say either “I’m waiting for the train” or “I’m waiting on the train,” but you cannot always exchange “on” and “for,” as with “I have a meeting on Monday.” Not all adjectives are treated equally in English, and native speakers tend to place adjectives in a certain order before the noun they modify.  The typical arrangement is: article, judgement, size, shape, age, color, nationality, material.  (However, it is best to limit the number of adjectives for a single noun to 2-3). For example, you would say "I have an old brown dog" or "I drive a rusty, box-shaped, 20-year-old American truck." A thesaurus can be tempting if you feel that your vocabulary is limited, but often synonyms listed in a thesaurus may relate to an alternative form of the word you are replacing. If you must use a thesaurus, be sure to look up the word you select in a quality dictionary to be sure that it is an acceptable substitute for your original word. In English, the regular verbs are relatively easy to master, but the irregular verb forms are much more difficult.  It is best to simply memorize these verb conjugations.  Searching for lists of common irregular verbs and making lists or flashcards for yourself may help you...

There are two types of binary exercising options: the American style and the European style. American-style options can be exercised (or settled) at any time prior to expiry. European-style options can only be exercised on the date of expiry or the last business day prior to expiry. With both in binary trading, you can change your position if you think your initial answer to the proposition will be wrong at expiry to a) cut your losses or b) lock in an early profit. Due to widespread fraud involving binary options trading on Internet-based platforms, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved three markets or exchanges for trading binary options: Nadex, the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Cantor Exchange. You can make direct trades on each. Each has its own, very specific rules. Make sure you read them first. Much of the binary options trading market operates online, and many are not in compliance with U.S. regulations. It's recommended you do the following before trading with entities other than the three exchanges.  Check to see if the platform has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by checking its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR), which you can access here: [1]. Determine if the platform itself is registered as an exchange by looking at the SEC's website on exchanges located here: [2]. Find out if the platform is a designated contract market by checking the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) list here: [3]. Finally, check the registration status and background of any firm or financial professional by checking these two websites, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's BrokerCheck and the CFTC's fraud advisories: [4] and [5]. The CBOE uses the European style, and options can only be exercised on the last business day prior to the date of expiry. However, it allows you to sell or buy back your position prior to expiry. Nadex uses the American style, as does the Cantor Exchange. Each of their fees differ as...

There are unfortunately more ‘bad’ breeders out there (breed bad genetics, puppy mills that breed for money, breed because they didn’t spay or neuter their animals appropriately, etc.) than good ones.  If you are going to a breeder, ask for references they can talk to of other people who have bought from them. Talk to owners of other litters. If the breeder has no references to give you, you will likely not want to buy from them. More importantly, ask who their veterinarian is. If the breeder doesn’t have a good relationship with a veterinarian, there may be problems with the breeders practices. You should begin by asking about the pedigree of the dog and what kind of registration papers you will get if you adopt a dog from them. Is the puppy with its mother and father? Make sure the two are in no way related to each other. How well the puppy is socialized in the early stages will make a significant difference on how well it is going to get along in your household and the world around it.  It can be beneficial to ask the breeder what other animals they have been exposed to and how they did with those species. Does the breeder have other dogs and other types of animals? Does the breeder have small children? What did the puppy do and how did it act during those interactions?  It's important to socialize this breed in order to decrease prey drive, especially if you have other types of animals in your home or live on a farm. The majority of socialization that makes a lasting impression happens in the 8 to 16 week range, with the peak socialization period being around 12 weeks. They also go through another stage at puberty (6 to 9 months) and at social maturity (18 to 24 months), where it is important to monitor your puppy and correct inappropriate behavior before it becomes a consistent part of their personality. Make note of the surroundings. Get your best impression of the property, grounds and the breeder to make sure you are not at a ‘puppy mill.’  Is the puppy’s area clean? The grounds and the puppy’s areas...

There are usually several rounds to a tournament. Often, judges will oversee preliminary rounds on their own. When the tournament proceeds to more advanced rounds, however, there will usually be a panel made of several judges. Checking in with the tournament organizer before the debate gives you the chance to have any deviations from the norm explained to you. Ballots are forms that debate judges use to record their notes on and scores for various competitors. Read over the ballots and make sure you understand how to complete the scoring and where to leave feedback for the competitors. Make sure you return all of your ballots when you are done with them so that the competitors and/or schools can use your feedback to try and improve. The structure of debates can vary a bit depending on the type of tournament and the association overseeing in. Usually, each competitor or team will present their sides on an issue, followed by questions for clarification and rebuttals. Ask the tournament organizer about the time limit for each section, since it is the responsibility of the judges to signal the beginning and end of each.  You may be asked to call time by raising your hand, ringing a buzzer, or some other means. Some debate types may have additional sections that will need to be accounted for in the timing. Sometimes, judges are asked to give an oral critique, or immediate feedback to both competitors or teams. In addition, you may be asked to disclose, or reveal right away which side won. Alternatively, you may simply complete the ballots and return them, so that winners can be announced later. Even experienced judges benefit from reminding themselves that they are there to assess the delivery, structure and argumentation presented by different competitors, regardless of whether or not they agree with the content. Keep in mind that competitors may be asked to articulate and defend positions they may not personally agree with, either. Remind yourself to focus on the ballot and use it, not personal beliefs, as a...

There are various traps that you might like to try using, all of which allow you to set the mouse free. The most common traps catch the mouse in a box that it can get in but not out of. This is a humane way to catch mice.  Once you catch them, you will need to release them at least 1 mile (1.6 km) from your home, perhaps in a heavily wooded area to give them somewhere else to go. Killing or removing rodents alone will not typically solve the problem, nor keep mice gone for long. When animals are killed or removed, more will move in to use available resources. In fact, killing or removing mice can actually result in a temporary spike in the food supply, causing remaining rodents to breed. Still, it is better to reduce the population rather than give up. Use a glass bowl and a coin. Invert a large glass bowl with some chocolate stuck to the inside of the bowl. Balance the bowl at an angle with the large coin on the edge, edge to edge. Leave it in an area where you know the mouse roams.  The mouse will enter under the bowl and reach up for the chocolate, upsetting the balance. The bowl will fall and trap the mouse underneath. Remove the mouse and place it far away from the house. You can set up a 10 gallon (37.9 L) aquarium with food in it. Put the aquarium in a spot that the mouse has been seen in, ideally in a place that blocks the mouse's usual path. Place something next to the aquarium that the mouse can crawl up, like a stack of books.  The mouse should try to get the food and jump in to the aquarium. Once inside, the mouse should be trapped by the high walls. Check the trap frequently. Put a top on the aquarium if you find a mouse in there. Release the mouse well away from the house. It will stay under the towel for only a short time, so you need to act quickly. Put an inverted waste-paper basket over the towel. Tuck the exposed bits of towel under the basket so it is in contact with the ground. Slide an LP record or large piece of cardboard under the basket and towel. Carefully turn the basket over the...

There are various types of glasses that can be used, some of antique or historical design and others of more modern design. French absinthe glasses, such as reservoir pontarlier glasses, are quite suitable for the French absinthe ritual. Different styles of reservoir glasses are available, but every style will have a distinct or bulbous bottom area that indicates the amount of absinthe that is to be initially poured. This is customary but is not necessary. The sugar is traditionally used to balance the bitter taste of the wormwood. This very slow and gradual addition of the water forms the heart of the absinthe ritual, and is done with or without the sugar. When using sugar, the cold water is dripped over the sugar and into the drink, causing the sugar to slowly dissolve into the absinthe. Very high quality absinthe can be expertly experienced simply with the ice cold water.  Three or four ounces of water are added per ounce of absinthe. Ice cubes can be added to the pitcher of water if desired, but be sure that they don't fall into the glass of absinthe. As the water is added to the absinthe, the absinthe should gradually louche. Absinthe fountains were traditionally used to drip the ice cold water into absinthe drinks. Brouilleur devices can also be used to automatically drip the water into individual glasses. The brouilleur is placed over the glass, and water, ice cubes, or ice water (as well as sugar if desired) is added to it. The water will gradually drip through the brouilleur into the absinthe. The brouilleur is removed before drinking the prepared absinthe. Two or three ice cubes can be added to the finished drink, but this practice may be frowned upon by absinthe purists.

There are videos on youtube of basic dances. Once you have mastered the individual steps, it will be easy to follow along to videos, and better understand what dancers are doing with their hips. These videos may incorporate more arm motions than the ones outlined here: hula is a storytelling dance, so there are many hand and arm motions.However, the fluid and motions that are outlined above will give you a feel of the rhythm of hula hand motions. The placement of the hands is often the same as well. Using the motions in this article, create your own dance.  Start with the swaying motions, and then incorporate arm motions. Move into kaholo, while continuing to use arm motions. Turn in a circle, using the ka’o or ami. Try using the kaholo to move further to the side, or diagonally toward the audience. If you practice these motions, you should be able to move fluidly from one to the other. They are pretty simple. Choose a song you like, and go through the motions as it pleases you. Improvisation means anything goes, so use your hands and tell your own story. Find more as many hand motions as possible, using youtube to get the motions right.

There comes a lot of things that you'll need to consider when you're living with your best friend and one of them is that you show respect. Not only respect them (which you most likely do already) but respect their personal belongings and their personal space too. Don't go through their stuff without asking them first - even if they say, "What's mine is yours", they could still get angry with you and an argument can occur. It's ideal to hang out with each other but when your best friend is clearly busy with something/someone and doesn't want to be disturbed, respect that and leave them alone until they're free. Another thing would be respecting their personal beliefs, and problems concerning that could have been avoided if you talked about before you actually moved in together. However, if, for example, they initially forget to tell you that they can't have pork in the house because of their beliefs and you get into an argument after you cook some bacon, sincerely apologise and make sure not to upset them over the same thing again. Practicing good hygiene isn't always something that crosses someone's mind as a potential problem when they want to live with their friend because they would expect them to do that anyway. However, you could end up surprised when you figure out that they are not as hygienic as you thought they were. This is the same for them; what you might find acceptable might come across as inconsiderate and "bad manners" to them. Leaving dirty dishes, dirty underwear, juice cartons, used disposable razors, take-away containers and other health and safety hazards laying around will give you some unwanted guests and they can potentially even do some harm to the both of you. Be considerate and think twice about putting dirty cutlery back in the drawer or not washing the bathtub after you use it. Encourage each other to clean up after your own mess and maybe even talk about a couple of unsanitary things around the house every now and then to give them a hint. If it doesn't bother you too much,...

There is a common misconception that grammar does not exist in the Chinese language, but this is not true. Chinese grammar rules do exist, they are just very different to those in Indo-European or other language systems. Unlike these languages, Chinese is a very analytic language which is both good news and bad news for language learners.  For instance, in Chinese, there are no complicated rules about conjugations, agreement, gender, plural nouns or tense. Most words consist of single syllables which are then combined to make compound words. This makes sentence construction fairly straightforward. However, Chinese has its own set of grammar rules which do not have an equivalent in English, or other Indo-European languages. For example, Chinese uses grammatical features such as classifiers, topic-prominence and preference for aspect. As these features are not used in English, they can be quite difficult for learners to grasp. However, despite the differences, Chinese does use the same word order as English mostly, i.e. subject - verb - object, making it easier to translate word for word. For example, the English phrase "he likes cats" is translated directly as "tā (he) xǐ huan (likes) māo (cats). Pinyin is a system used for writing Mandarin Chinese using the Roman alphabet. Hanyu Pinyin is the most common form of such Romanization and is used in many textbooks and teaching materials.  Pinyin allows students of Mandarin to focus on their pronunciation, while also enabling them to read and write, without needing to learn complex Chinese characters. Although Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, the pronunciation of its letters is often not intuitive to English speakers, which is why it must be studied carefully before it can be used. For example, the letter "c" in Pinyin is pronounced like the "ts" in the word "bits", the letter "e" is pronounced like the "er" in the word "hers" and the letter "q" is pronounced like the "ch" in the word "cheap". Due to these differences, it is essential that you learn the correct...

There is a common nursery rhyme used to teach children the days in the months. The first line reminds you how many months contain 30 days.  The first line goes, "30 days have September, April, June, and November." You can remember, based off this line, that September, April, June, and November each have 30 days. You may have to repeat it a few times to commit it to memory. The second half of the poem reminds you that February is a short month, and which months have 31 days. The line goes, "When short February's done, all the rest have 31." Excluding September, April, June, November, and February, all the months have 31 days.  You may have to repeat this line a few times to remember it, as with the first line. Try repeating the whole poem a few times, after memorizing the first and second line. This can help you commit the whole poem to memory. If you're struggling to remember, a simple trick can help. Try to remember a key word from each line of the poem, and find a way to associate that word with the line.  Imagine something to do with said month that reminds you of the rest of the line. For example, most schools start in September. You can picture a student multiplying 10 by 3 to get 30. This may help you remember, "30 days has September." Consider giving each month a symbol in the 30 set a symbol. For example, September could have a book and April could have an umbrella. June could have a sun and November could have a turkey. Continue using tricks like this throughout the rest of the lines of the poem. This can help you better remember it. Simple repetition is a great means to memorize poetry. Find recordings of the poem online. A site like YouTube may have recordings of the poem. Play these recordings to yourself over and over again, and try to recite the lines along with the recordings. This can help you memorize the poem. If you can't find a recording online, record yourself saying the poem with your phone or computer.

There is a nationwide protest in which women are encouraged to take the day off. This can highlight women's effect on the global economy. If you're able to do so, consider skipping work on that day to promote International Women's Day. If you can't take the day off, avoid making purchases on International Women's Day. This can also affect the economy. You can donate money, clothing, food, or your time. Helping out a local women's shelter helps to remind you about the difficulties women continue to face, as well as doing your part to help alleviate some of that. You could turn it into an event with your friends. Get everyone you know to help celebrate the day by helping out a local women's shelter. There are many protests taking place on International Women's Day. Seek out a protest in your area in order to show your support for women and their contributions to the world. You can look online to find protests or ask local political organizations, such as your local League of Women Voters, if any protests are occurring. Many areas host marathons or walks to raise awareness or money. See if there is a local walk in your area. Marching, running, or walking with other women can help raise awareness for the struggles of women around the world. Find a bridge walk. The nonprofit Women for Women International organizes bridge walks all across the world, form Canada all the way to China. Their aim is to raise awareness about what female survivors of war face every day. See if you can find a bridge walk in your area. Consider actively participating in creating fair wages for women, supporting reproductive rights and care, and legislation that promotes equality. Look into things like women's health clinics or your local Planned Parenthood. See if they're in need of volunteers. If an organization is hosting a special event for International Women's Day, they may need volunteers to help out. Make a commitment to volunteering longterm. Organizations are always in need of helpful volunteers to keep things running smoothly.

There is a passive-aggressive conflict style that can develop in a person with passive-aggressive tendencies.    Stage one of the passive-aggressive conflict cycle is the development of passive-aggressive behaviors. As they develop socially, individuals usually think that direct expressions of anger are perilous and should be avoided . The person then solves his anger issues by masking the anger with passive-aggressive behaviors.  Stage two of the passive-aggressive conflict cycle is a stressful situation that triggers irrational thoughts based on these early life experiences. For example, if a teacher asks a student to pass out a worksheet and that student has a prior history of being asked to do things and not being appreciated for it, the student might fall back on this history in the current situation. Instead of feeling honored by being asked to help, the student will feel resentful because the request has triggered a pre-learned response.   Stage three occurs when the passive-aggressive individual denies his or her anger, which can lead to projecting negative feelings onto other people and building resentment towards others.   Stage four of the cycle is to engage in passive-aggressive behavior. This includes (but is not limited to): denying feelings of anger, withdrawing, sulking, pouting, procrastinating, carrying out tasks inefficiently or unacceptably, and exacting hidden revenge.    Stage five of this cycle is the reactions of others. People typically react negatively to passive-aggressive behavior and, often, this is what the aggressor is hoping for.  This reaction then only acts as reinforcement for the behavior and the cycle will begin again. You may become overwhelmed if you start listing every time you have ever shown passive-aggressive behavior.  Instead, identify three or four episodes when you realized you were passive aggressive.  One place that you may have acted passive-aggressively is in the workplace.  There are four specific behaviors that are common to passive aggressive habits at...

There is a wide range of potato varieties to choose from, but they generally fall under five basic categories: first early, second early, early main crop, main crop, and late main crop. Knowing what category your selected potato variety falls under will tell you when to plant and harvest it.  Plant early varieties as early as March or April. They'll take between 75-90 days to mature for harvest. However, if you plant them too early, they could be damaged by frost. Plant mid-season potatoes from May to July. They'll take between 85-110 days to mature for harvest. Mid-season potatoes grow best in warmer climates and temperatures. Plant late season potatoes from July to August. They'll take between 120-135 days to mature for harvest. These potatoes usually tolerate winter temperatures and frost better than early varieties. The entire bottom of the pot should be covered. Lightly pat the soil down with your hands to make sure that it is firmly packed. If the soil is not solid enough, the potatoes will sink to the very bottom of the pot. Both the fiberglass screen and the pebble/stone layer should be fully covered and no longer visible after you add the soil. Use a scoop or spade to lightly sprinkle granular organic fertilizer on top of the first soil layer in the pot. The amount that you use will depend on the type of fertilizer that you buy and the size of your pot. Read the instructions on the fertilizer's package carefully and follow them directly.  Choose a fertilizer that is explicitly for container planting. An organic or vegetable-specific blend is even better. Once your potatoes are established, you'll want to feed them liquid fertilizer as often as every 2 weeks. Again, reference the fertilizer's package for instructions. Space the tubers at least 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Ensure that they are not touching one another or the edge of the pot. Do not overcrowd each pot by planting more than the recommended amount of seed potatoes.  When the potatoes are in position, press them gently into the soil and...

There is a wide variety of choices, but not all of them will align with your personal preferences. Some are commercially produced from chemicals, some come from plants, while others are based on essential oils. The origin of the scent may impact your choice to use it, especially if you're concerned about chemicals in your home environment.  Typical sources of scenting candles include:  Commercial candle making scents: These are in liquid form and are available from most stores that sell candle making supplies. The strength of the scent will vary from brand to brand and whether or not you have access to a full list of ingredients will depend on the manufacturer's willingness to provide this. Expect to use about 1 ounce of liquid scent to every 2 pounds of melted wax. Fragrance oils: These are 100% synthetic and are not specifically made for candles but usually still work for scenting them. The same issues as the commercial scents apply. Most are highly concentrated, so use of these should be sparing. Expect to use about 10-15 drops of fragrance oil per 1 pound of melted wax. Essential oils: These are produced naturally from plants such as herbs and flowers. They have specific properties, which can be found by doing an online search or using a book on essential oils. Not all essential oils will work well with wax, so you may need to do a test first. Expect to use about 10-15 drops of essential oil per 1 pound of melted wax. Natural sources of scent: This covers such things as crushed or powdered plants, spices and herbs, finely ground zest, etc. Some work really well with melted wax, such as ground cinnamon, crushed lavender flowers or finely ground lemon zest. Others may not meld as well though, or can stop the wax from turning hard or prevent the wick from burning, so do your research first. Expect to use about 1 teaspoon of ground spice, herb or zest per 1 pound of wax.

There is a wide variety of espresso drinks available in any good coffee shops or cafès. This can make the choosing difficult but try to see this on the bright side. You can either remain in the same coffee shop for hours or you have a good excuse to return regularly. And even after you've tried out all of the espresso styles and have chosen your own favorite, don't limit yourself to just the favorite. Changes of barista, sourcing of the coffee and even new inventions of espresso styles should keep you curious to keep trying out other styles from time to time. Espresso styles have distinct measurement amounts that baristas use to come up with the final product. Excitingly for the intrepid barista or coffee drinker, if you're aiming to serve or drink coffee from country to country, you need to be aware that these measurements change because coffee styles differ from country to country. For example, in England a latte is a single shot of espresso with approximately 200mls of milk, having a very thin layer of froth. On the other hand, in New Zealand, this drink is a double shot with approximately 100mls (or so) of milk and a top layer of froth that is just under an inch (2.5cm) thick, also typically served in either a latte bowl or a pre-heated glass. Here are some of the more common espresso styles (the basic measurements provided are New Zealand in origin, adjust according to your own country's preferences):  Ristretto: 70ml demitasse, 30ml double shot Flat white: 150ml cup, 40ml double shot, 110ml lightly textured hot milk Short black/ espresso: 70ml demitasse, 50ml double shot Caffe latte: 220ml glass or cup, 40ml double shot, 180ml lightly textured hot milk Long black: 150ml cup, 90ml hot water, 50ml double shot Cappuccino: 190ml cup, 30ml double shot, 170ml textured hot milk Macchiato: 70ml demitasse, 50ml double shot, a touch of textured hot milk Mochaccino or cafè mocha: 300ml cup, 50ml double shot, chocolate powder or syrup, 250ml lightly textured hot milk Bongo/piccolo latte: 100ml glass, 30ml double...

There is almost always a person or people who show up to see you and the baby without notice. This can put a lot of stress on you. Depending on how you’re feeling, either welcome the visitors or politely cue them to leave.  Empathize with people’s excitement and remember they’re trying to share in your joy. Stay as positive as you can, even if you’re surprised. An, “Oh, Teresa, how lovely to see you, I wasn’t expecting anyone,” is much better than, “Teresa, please leave.” Gently cue people to leave if you are tired or not ready to see anyone. You can simply say, “Thank you so much for coming over, Mrs. Newman, but I was just about to feed Jack and put him down for a nap. Maybe you could stop by later this week?” Avoid apologizing for yourself if you want to see people but may not feel presentable. Instead, try saying, “Hey Molly, it’s so great to see you! Anna and I weren’t expecting guests but would love to introduce you to Max—and the tornado of laundry he creates!” If you know you have guests who will overstay their welcome or who may stress you, considering paying them a visit. This gives you more of a chance to control the situation and how long you spend with them. Say, “Oh, jeez, where did the time go? I’m unfortunately going to have to leave because it’s Annie’s feeding and naptime. I really like to keep it a consistent routine at home.” In some cases, you may have people who want to visit or meet your baby who you don’t want to visit. This could be anyone from a high maintenance neighbor to a grandparents you’ve cut out of your life. Refusing visitors can be a very touchy and emotional situation for you. Finding constructive ways to refuse unwanted or high-maintenance visitors can help you avoid stress and enjoy time with your new baby.  Have a diplomatic conversation with a person if you are on relatively good terms. For example, “Peg, it would be better if you visited in a few weeks or months. We’re still getting used to having a baby and want to limit visitors as much as we can so we can establish...

There is any number of programs that you can use to launch an email advertising campaign. The one for you depends on several factors. How many contacts do you have? How much are you willing to pay? Some services are free while others feature limited trials. Pricing is at times based on number of subscribers, at other times on how many messages you send per month.  Consider how much you plan to grow, as well. Growing in size may well affect your costs – programs like iContact and Constant Contact push you into large-volume pricing at 15,000 and 10,000 subscribers, for example. Also consider that some programs offer more in the way of support, contact management, and statistical tools to help you analyze your advertising. Before starting your campaign, and if you have more than just one product, you should decide what to feature in your advertisements. Think carefully and strategically. Pick items that are popular or in-demand. Then, get images to use in your emails, write up descriptions or summaries for your website, and compile links that will route potential customers to each product's page. Don't go overboard with selection. Consumers may be overwhelmed if you bombard them with emails about a large range of products. Keep it at ten items or less. Be mindful of your service provider's policies regarding emailing. Some, like AOL and Yahoo, will limit emails that are sent in duplicate to many recipients. Find an advertising-friendly service instead. Providers like MailChimp, Campaigner, Vertical Response, or Constant Contact, for example, may allow you to send duplicate emails to potentially unlimited recipients. Some companies, like Benchmark, will allow you to send emails to many recipients, but they also have special features. For instance, you can find providers that supply ready-made templates for emails, which you can then alter to suit your needs. They can also help you manage your business' social-media presence. Service providers constantly update the algorithms they use to identify and block spam....

There is no cure for herpes, but you can do some things to help shorten the length of your outbreaks. As soon as you think you may be having an outbreak, you should see your doctor to get some medication. After your official diagnosis, most doctors will provide you with a prescription to have on hand so you can start treatment right away. Valacyclovir is one commonly prescribed medication. If it is your first outbreak, you should start taking it within 48 hours of your first symptoms and take it for 10 days. The dosage will depend on the patient, so you should follow your doctor's instructions.  In general, the dosage is 1000mg twice a day for 10 days for the first outbreak. For subsequent outbreaks, the general dosage is 500mg twice a day for 3 days. If you suffer from frequent outbreaks, which means you have more than 9 a year, you can use valacyclovir as a method of suppression therapy. This means you use the drug to help you stop getting outbreaks instead of taking it at the first sign of an outbreak. If this is your situation, take it as your doctor recommends. The general dose is 500mg twice a day, every day. Initial symptoms begin as a mild stinging and itching in the region which will progress to blisters within hours to days. Start taking your medication at the first signs of that tingling, burning or itching. Although valacyclovir is the most current medication for herpes, you can also try an older medicine that is not used as much anymore. This is due to the frequency of the dosing schedule, which causes a decrease in the patient's compliance. However, it is often much cheaper than valacyclovir. As with other medications, the dosage will differ depending on the patient, so you should take it exactly as your doctor prescribes.  If you are prescribed this medicine during your first episode, in general, you will take 200mg orally 5 times a day, while awake, for 10 days. If you are suffering a recurrent episode, you should take 200mg orally 2-5 times a day, while awake, for 5 days (or up to a year)....

There is no legal age restriction on when you can get your ears pierced, but you will need signed consent from a parent if you are under the age of sixteen. The average age that people get their ears pierced is seven, but it ranges from infant to adulthood.  If you are in school it is important to consider your school’s rules on body piercings. If they are not allowed, you might want to wait to get them pierced.  A good indicator of whether you are old enough to get your ears pierced is if you can take care of pierced ears. Getting your ears pierced involves two costs: the cost of the piercing and the cost of the jewelry. You will need to pay the piercer for their time and materials, and pay for the earrings you will have pierced. Sometimes you can bring your own earrings, but that is uncommon. Make sure you have the money together before you commit to getting your ears pierced.  The cost will range depending on where you go. If you go to a mall shop (like Claire’s) you will pay less than if you go to a piercing salon. A salon will likely be more sterile and have more jewelry to choose from.  The average cost of an earlobe piercing is between $20 and $55, depending on the jewelry. Getting your ears pierced is not a very painful process, but it does sting for a few seconds. Spend some time considering whether you feel you have the proper pain tolerance for a piercing. Most piercers will apply numbing agents to your ears before they pierce them to dull the pain. Some types of ear piercings hurt more than others. The typical earlobe piercing is the least of the painful piercings. Sometimes you can expect swelling and redness after the piercing. These can cause irritation and pain if you touch your ears too much.

There is no magic bullet to weight loss.  Even with diet pills, you'll need to modify your diet to help support and maintain weight loss.  Include appropriate servings and portions from each food group:  Include sources of lean protein at every meal.  Serving sizes should be around 3-4 ounces or the size of a deck of cards.  Include foods like:  poultry, lean beef, eggs, low-fat dairy, seafood, legumes and tofu.  Include six to eight servings of fruits and vegetables daily.  One serving of fruit is about 1/2 cup or one small fruit and one serving of vegetables is 1 cup or 2 cups of leafy greens.  Eat about two to three servings of grains.  One serving is 1/2 cup or about 1 ounce.  If you can, make most of your grain choices whole grain for added health benefits.  Choose:  oats, quinoa, brown rice, or 100% whole wheat bread. You should eat about three portions of dairy every day. One serving of dairy is equivalent to 1 cup of milk, 1 ½ ounces of natural cheese, or 2 ounces of processed cheese. In addition to eating a healthy diet, its important to monitor portions or count calories to help induce weight loss.  Each person will need a different amount of calories depending on their age, gender and activity level.  However, to lose weight you may need to cut calories by about 500 calories daily.  This generally results in a 1-2 pound weight loss per week.  Measuring your portions can also help manage calories.  Stick to smaller portions for less calories at each meal and snack.  Take the time to measure the recommended portion sizes for protein, fruits, vegetables and grains. Use a food diary or download a calorie-tracking app onto your smartphone. One source of calories that should be limited are those calories coming from sweetened or sugary beverages.  These calories provide little to no nutrition and can lead to weight gain.  Limit beverages like:  regular soda, sweetened coffee drinks, sweetened tea, sports or energy drinks, fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages that include these beverages as mixers. Try...

There is no need to change any of your basic network or wireless settings. Choose "Yes" from the options. Usually “guest” is just appended on the end of your current network’s name. Some routers may allow you to change this name. Just make sure it’s not the same name as your current network. Since you’re technically creating a new network, you have to define a corresponding network password.  It is a good idea not to use the same password of your home network. You may have the option to define how many you would allow to use the guest network at any given time.   Fewer people using your network would mean better quality of connection for everyone on the network. Remember, your actual bandwidth won’t increase and everyone would just share. You may opt to have this guess network broadcasted or hidden.

There is no official conversion process or ceremony for converting to the Hindu faith. To become a follower, one needs only to have the will and the commitment to study the scriptures and abide by the proper practices. While Hinduism is a highly traditional religion founded on ritual, it is not exclusive in the sense that one must be formally recognized in order to be a practitioner. Hinduism preaches the very principle that there is no need for conversion; the wisdom of the universe is available to all, if only they're willing to seek it. Do some research to see if there are any Hindu temples or organizations in your area and find out what the requirements are to join. Many contemporary Hindu sects are happy to take on Western followers and anyone else who is interested in learning Hindu doctrine. Consider whether the beliefs and practices of the sect you're thinking of joining are in alignment with what you wish to gain from becoming a follower.  Most people who practice the Hindu religion are born into it, and consider it something of a birthright. There are those that claim that you cannot “convert” to Hinduism; if you were not born Hindu, you never will be. However, this is a somewhat dated position, as Hinduism has become a major world religion and many people flock to learn its ways. Two prominent examples of Western sects that have embraced the Hindu religion are the Hare Krishnas and the school of Transcendental Meditation. Once you become part of a Hindu temple or organization, you will be expected to participate in puja, or ritual worship. Puja ceremonies are most often composed of many different symbolic actions, such as cleansing idols representing Hindu deities, making offerings and recitation of spiritual scriptures. Taking part in puja will help you understand more about Hindu rituals and their religious significance. In addition to its role as a communal practice, puja is considered a highly individual devotion, and a good deal of prayer and offerings are performed from the privacy of one's...

There is no one physical characteristic, appearance, profession, or personality type that all child molesters share. Child molesters can be any sex or race, and their religious affiliations, occupations and hobbies are as diverse as anyone else's. A child molester may appear to be charming, loving, and completely good-natured while harboring predatory thoughts that he or she is adept at hiding. That means you should never dismiss the idea that someone could be a child molester out of hand. Thirty percent of children who have been sexually abused were abused by a family member, and 60 percent were abused by an adult they knew who was not a family member. That means only 10 percent of children who are sexually abused were targeted by a total stranger.  In most cases, the child molester turns out to be someone known to the child through school or another activity, such as a neighbor, teacher, coach, member of the clergy, music instructor, or babysitter.  Family members like mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, stepparents, and so on may also be sexual predators. While anyone can turn out to be a child molester, the majority of child molesters are men, regardless of whether their victims are male or female. Many sexual predators have a history of abuse in their own past, either physical or sexual.  Some also have mental illness, such as a mood or personality disorder.  Heterosexual and homosexual men are equally likely to be child molesters. The idea that homosexual men are more likely to be child molesters is a complete myth.  Female child molesters are more likely to abuse boys than girls. A child molester often doesn't display as much interest in adults as they do in children. They may have jobs that allow them to be around children of a certain age group, or contrive other ways to spend time with children by acting as a coach, babysitter or neighbour trying to help.  Child molesters tend to talk about or treat children as though they are adults. They might refer to a child as...

There is no real substitute for sticky rice; it is a type of rice (like brown rice) and not a dish (like fried rice). The flavor and texture of these recipes will be different because you are using regular rice. Also, be aware that even if you cook regular rice so that it becomes mushier or stickier, it still may not be sticky enough for nigiri-style sushi. Are you looking to make sticky rice out of regular rice because you cannot find it in a store? If you can't find sticky rice anywhere, try searching for "sweet rice," or "glutinous rice." They are the same thing. Try using another short-grain rice or risotto rice. Both will have a stickier texture once cooked (compared to medium and long-grained rice). Short-grain rice is stickier than other types of rice once cooked because it has more starch in it.

There is no right way to begin a character sketch because characters can pop into your head in any number of ways. You might see their physical appearance first, you could think of a profession or character type you want to use, or you could decide to base a character on someone you know. When designing characters, set aside some time to let your imagination run, finding your initial image of the character and taking off from there. You aren't bound to any of these initial sketches -- you could very easily throw them all out. Like all brainstorming exercises, the point is to start searching for ideas you love. It is far easier to think in visual, concrete terms than put together abstract concepts like "friendly," or "intelligent." Most writers, and all readers, generally need some sort of image of the character that they can  relate to. If you're artistically inclined, you could even draw out the basics of your character first. Even if the description is sparse  ("young, white male") in the final book, movie, or play, a proper character sketch requires:  Age Gender Height and weight General ethnic background (ie. "tall, blonde Scandanavian-type") Defining physical characteristics (hair, beauty, glasses, typical clothing, etc.) Complex characters display a wide range of emotions, but almost all people and characters can be simplified to 1-2 base feelings. Overall, how does your character view life: optimistic, greedy, humorous, angry, oblivious, thoughtful, timid, creative, analytical? You want a simple guidepost when writing out the character -- a jumping off point that allows you to explore the other, more complex emotions when you start writing.  What would their astrological sign be? How do they deal with hardship? What makes them happy? Sad? Angry? Sometimes the name comes easily. Sometimes it is the hardest part of the character to nail down. While names can change throughout the writing process, there are a couple different avenues you can take when naming characters:  Search the internet for baby names...

There is no sort of change or setting you can switch before opening an image that unlocks the background layer. Just open up the image like normal. This is the long box on the right of your screen labeled layers. You'll see each layer -- starting with "Background" -- as well as a little thumbnail of the image. Next to Background there should be a small padlock icon that tells you the layer is locked. 'Troubleshooting: I don't see "Layers:" Click on "Window" in the top bar. Make sure "Layers" is checked. If it is, and the palette is still not open, click "Window" → "Workspace" → and hit "Essentials." Still struggling? Reset "Painting" and click that. This is perhaps the safest way to go, since it saves you a perfect original copy if anything goes wrong. For PC users, press Ctrl+J when the background layer is highlighted. For Mac users, it is Cmd+J. Your new layer will be unlocked and ready to edit. You can also click on "Layers" from the top bar, then click "Duplicate Layer." Simply double-click on the title of the layer, "Background" and it will open a little box to recreate the layer. From this box, you can:  Change the name Set a blending mode Color code the layer for organization Set the layer's base opacity In the top bar, click on "Layer"-- the right option should be near the top. Simple and easy, this also replaces your background layer with a brand new one. You will not have a spare background, just one unlocked section.

There is no treatment or ‘cure’ for this virus. Vaccination against FELV will greatly increase your cats chances of clearing the infection if exposed instead of becoming persistently infected, which is most likely if your cat is unvaccinated. Cats can start a leukemia vaccine series as early as 8 weeks of age. Boosters are given every 1-3 years depending on the amount of exposure risk, and the type of vaccination used. Do not treat him/her for all these things at once, or else the cat will just feel even worse. Wait a week or two before treating him/her for a second condition. If your cat is frightened or agitated by anything in your house, get rid of the cause. Ask your family and friends to be quiet and to avoid being loud when inside the house. Keep your cat's environment warm enough. He/she may need more warmth than a non-infected cat. Snug blankets and sleeping areas are essential. Higher-quality food will improve your cat's condition and is an assurance that your cat is getting the required nutrients that cheaper food lacks. Do not feed any home or commercially prepared raw diets as cats with FELV have a compromised immune system and could become ill from harmful bacteria this way. Don’t feed solely fish, as this is lacking in many essential nutrients. Keep all of your cat's litter boxes, food bowls, water bowls, etc. very clean. This means daily cleaning, without fail. If you're not around to do it, someone else must be tasked with this chore.

There is no way to set a traditional start page in Safari, as it simply picks up where you last left off. If you'd prefer that Safari always load a specific page when you start it, you can create a shortcut to that page on your Home screen and launch Safari using it instead of the regular app. This can be any page that you'd like. You can then give the shortcut a custom title, or adjust the exact address. Tap "Add" when you're finished making changes. Every time you tap your shortcut, it will load that page instead of the last page you were using in Safari. This is a great way to get around teh lack of a traditional homepage.

There is nothing like a new puppy, with his cute and affectionate disposition and his big round eyes. However, a puppy requires a large time commitment, especially during their first year of life.   Ensure your puppy has all his immunizations. Puppies should receive a set of four injections every three weeks starting at six weeks old. House-train your Labrador Puppy and take him outside every few hours (at least) to relieve themselves. Socialize your Chocolate Lab puppy when he is young. The goal is to encourage positive, respectful, and calm interactions with other people and animals. Provide obedience training to instill a solid foundation in good behavior. Obedience classes will help shape the personality of your puppy for years to come. Adding an adult Chocolate Lab to your home can be a very worthwhile experience, as older dogs are less likely to be adopted and often the first to be euthanized.   Ask the shelter or individual from whom you are adopting your Lab about his behavior and personality. Your dog’s general demeanor will be largely established by age 3, so it is important to know what to expect.   Be patient and understanding of a dog who has had a past life. This can mean that he has been traumatized in certain ways, or has not been exposed to certain things. Even something as benign as a vacuum cleaner can incite a fearful response from your dog. Recognize that your  older dog has different needs than a puppy. This can include requiring more vet visits for health issues, needing food made for mature canines, and adjusting exercise schedules accordingly. Chocolate Labs are very versatile dogs. They were originally bred for physically demanding jobs, and have made the transition to family pets as well.   Decide if you want a Lab bred for competition. You can select a dog bred for his skill as a working dog or bred for the ideal look, movement, and temperament of the breed.   Select an English Labrador if you are looking for a dog bred for show and conformation.  This dog will be heavier,...

There is nothing more constant than change. Seasons, weather, trends, technology - you name it; it is steadily changing. Know that nothing lasts forever. If you are experiencing hard times, they won't endure. On the flip side, if your life is currently exceptional, be thankful for the good, but recognize that harder days will surely come again. One way to stop seeing change as all "bad" is to recognize that you yourself and everyone you meet is constantly evolving. Whether you saw them the day before or weeks ago, each time you meet a person, you are seeing a newer, changed version. Time has passed. They have encountered new experiences, thought new ideas. Humans are not fixed in time, and neither is life. If your expectations are too high and unrealistic, you will continually be disappointed by the outcome. When they are too rigid, you don’t leave room for growth or change. When you set expectations that are more reasonable, you have higher self-esteem and are better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.  An example of an unrealistic expectation may be "I need to make all A's in college" while a more realistic expectation may be that "I need to put in a lot of effort to do well in college". You can improve how you manage expectations by regularly reassessing whether they are achievable by you, and by exploring a range of options rather than being focused on only one outcome. If another person is placing unrealistic expectations on you, talk to the person and explain how the pressure to perform is affecting you. You might say something like “When you expect this out of me, I end up ___”. Experiential learning is learning obtained through action, or through discovery and exploration.

There is some debate whether it is the "low-carb" or "diet" portion that deserves more credit, but evidence exists that people on low-carb diets may prevent or improve health problems like metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Low-carb diets do seem to have an advantage in comparison to moderate-carb diets in regards to reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Our body needs carbohydrates to produce the energy it needs to operate.  Properly-followed low-carb diets should not cause major medical issues, but severely restricting carbohydrate intake does carry risks.  If you go to the extreme and consume less than 50 grams of carbs a day, you risk developing ketosis.  This occurs when ketones build up in your body as a result of excessive break-down of stored fat for energy, and can cause nausea, fatigue, headaches, and bad breath. During the first week or two of a low-carb diet, you may experience symptoms akin to ketosis -- nausea, headache, bad breath, etc. -- as your body adjusts to the significant reduction in carbs.  This should pass, however, and you should move on to feeling perhaps better than ever. Some medical professionals believe low-carb diets may increase long-term risks of cardiovascular disease and cancers because of the significant amounts of animal fats and proteins consumed, but the long-term risks of low-carb dieting, like the rewards, are more speculative than definitive. Especially if you are on a low-carb diet for an extended period of time, there is a risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can cause a host of problems including bone loss, gastrointestinal disorders, and increased risk for various chronic conditions  Fruits may be full of sugars, but they are also full of vitamins and minerals.
