Are you on the fence about telling someone about your sibling's suicidal comments because you are not quite sure if they are legitimate? Remember, all suicidal threats are serious. Look for these and other signs that indicate suicidal behavior:  Showing no hope for the future Talking about death frequently Giving away possessions Feeling like a burden to others Withdrawing from friends or family Neglecting personal responsibilities (e.g. work, school, or extracurriculars) Making visits to loved ones or acting as if he is saying goodbye Seeking out means to cause harm (e.g. weapons or pills) Acting recklessly; using drugs or alcohol; practicing unsafe sex If your sibling is showing signs of being in an acute crisis, meaning they seem likely to harm themselves, tell them you will stay with them. Then, follow through. If you need to go away, assign another family member to be with them. Never leave them alone. Take note: if your sibling requires constant watch to prevent suicide, they should probably be under medical and psychiatric care in a hospital. To prevent your sibling from taking their life, you and your family should remove all items which can be used fatally from the home. These may include knives, razors, firearms, and pills. If your sibling is in an acute crisis and seriously contemplating suicide, you and your family need to get them to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. If, for some reason, you cannot get them to the emergency room, call 911 or your local emergency number. If an acute suicidal situation is occurring after your sibling has established a relationship with a counselor or therapist, call this professional to make them aware of the circumstances. Likely, this person will want to come to the hospital to talk to the doctors there.

Are you used to sleeping in a full set of pajamas? Even if you normally wear a t-shirt to bed, you might need a night or two to adjust before sleeping fully nude. Going straight from fully clothed to naked might disrupt your sleep at first. Plan to wear just your underwear (no bra) at first to see how it feels.  Sleeping in just your underwear provides some of the benefits of sleeping naked. More of your skin is exposed to the air, and this circulation helps promote clearer skin. However, having underwear on will still cause your body to rely on that extra layer to help regulate heat. The parts of your body covered by underwear won't receive healthy air circulation. That's why it's worth giving nude sleeping a chance. Sleeping naked is healthy because it allows your skin to be free of constrictive clothing for a good seven to eight hours. Choose fabrics made from natural materials, preferably cotton, so that the air in your bedroom can circulate through to your body.  Using polyester and other synthetic materials isn't as healthy for your skin. The fabrics may keep you too warm or block the air, negating the positive effects of sleeping naked. If you're really concerned about having the healthiest night's sleep possible, choose sheets made with organic fibers. That way your naked skin won't be exposed to any chemicals. Many people complain that it's too cold to sleep naked during the winter. This can easily be remedied by using the proper bedclothes for the season. If you have a good down comforter, your body will adjust to the environment and stay nice and warm without the need for pajamas. In the summer, a sheet and a thin cotton blanket might be all you need to stay comfortable.  It helps to have a good collection of quilts or thin cotton blankets you can keep in your bedroom. That way you can add or subtract layers depending on your needs. Using a top sheet all year round is helpful. You can kick off your blanket if you need to and still have a sheet to keep you from feeling completely exposed. You may...

Areas with tons of trees or buildings can obscure your view of the horizon. Without being able to see the horizon, you cannot get an accurate measurement. If you can find a field with no tall objects nearby, you will get a more accurate reading.  This technique will tell you approximately how much daylight is remaining.  Use this method on sunny days, with minimal or no clouds in the sky. If you cannot see the sun at all, you cannot track its position. Being aware of the approximate time of day might be helpful if you’re trying to estimate the time. Hold up your arm with your wrist bent so that your hand is horizontal and your palm is facing towards you. Line up the top edge of your index finger with the bottom of the sun. Your bottom (pinky) finger should be between the ground and sky, but if your bottom finger is below the horizon, then the sun will set within the next hour. Hold your hand in this position.  Either hand can work, but you may feel most comfortable starting with your dominant hand. Keep your thumb out of the way. Because thumbs are thicker and angled away from your fingers, they will ruin your timing. If you still have space between your hand and the sun, stack your other hand under the first one. Press the index finger of your other hand against the pinky finger on your first hand.  Continue stacking one hand under the other until you reach the horizon. Keep track of how many hands it takes to go from the bottom of the sun to the horizon. The number of hands it takes is the number of daylight hours remaining, or the hours left until sunset. For example, if you count 5 hands, then there are 5 hours remaining in the day or 5 hours until sunset. Once you've reached the horizon, you can also count how many fingers could fit in the space between the sun and horizon if you can’t fit a whole hand there. This is also helpful if you cannot fit your whole hand between the sin and the horizon. In this case, you will only need to count the fingers between the sun and horizon instead. Each finger that...

Arguably the best time to overseed is during September, or at least six weeks before temperatures reach freezing or there is an overnight frost. If you can't overseed in September, overseed in early spring.  Grass seed grows and germinates best when daytime temperatures are around 50°F (10°C). Germination will not take place if overnight temperatures create heavy frost. Allow at least one to three weeks for the seeds to germinate. You will then want to allow the grass seed a few weeks to get rooted before a frost.

Ariel’s hair is very long, red and wavy. You’ll want to style the hair to be tousled but pretty. Use bobby pins to secure it to your head. If you have a hard time finding one, you can definitely order one inexpensively on the internet.  It would be cute to add some little embellishments in the hair, like small barrettes with starfish on them.   You could also spray the hair lightly with the canned glitter made specifically for hair – it would be pretty and look like water droplets. You’ll want to use red lipstick in a shade almost identical to the red hair on the wig. That’s the most important element. You could also add glittery aqua eye shadow or face shimmer for a great Ariel vibe. There are so many things you can do for this – your imagination is the limit! Body glitter would be great for Ariel. Painting your fingernails a nice glittery shade of silver would be a great touch, as well!

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius: These people are physical and active. They tend to be rude and selfish, headstrong, confident, talented, charismatic, sociable, in good shape, and into sports. In a word, they are the doers. Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn: These people are physical and passive. They are perfectionists, hard-working, and tend to be introverted.

In fact, men with astrological femininity often compensate by acting macho (working out, claiming to be promiscuous or tough) and women with astrological masculinity often compensate by acting "girly" (wearing "girly" clothes and makeup, claiming to be emotional).  Astrologically masculine qualities: Independence, dating a lot, they may come off as rude to those that don't understand them but in reality they just stand up for what they think is right, traveling a lot, and preferring to pursue people; being energetic, active, headstrong, talkative, confident, open-minded, sexual, and flirtatious.

Arm knitting requires no needles or other equipment, just some yarn and your own two arms. However, it is important to choose yarn that will be bulky enough to complete your project. One option is to purchase yarn that is super bulky and meant for arm knitting. You can find this type of yarn in a craft store.  If you can’t find super bulky yarn, then you can also use three strands of bulky yarn held together to arm knit your blanket.  The amount of yarn you will need will depend on how large you want your blanket to be. Plan on needing at least a three skeins of super bulky yarn to complete this project. If you are going to hold together three strands from three bulky skeins to knit your blanket, then you will need at least nine skeins of bulky yarn. To begin casting on, pull about five feet of yarn out of the skein. This is the tail of your yarn, which you will use to cast on your first row of stitches. Allow the yarn to drop onto your lap or onto the floor beside you. Five feet is enough to cast on about 18 stitches for a small blanket. If you want to make a large blanket, then pull out a bit more, like six or seven feet of yarn. Start by making a slipknot with some of the yarn from the five foot length of yarn you pulled out. Start near the skein and work downwards. To make a slipknot, make a loop in the yarn and then pull a second loop of yarn through this loop. Then, slip this loop onto your right arm. This will be your first cast on stitch.   Continue to loop the yarn and pull loops through to create more cast on stitches. Slip these stitches onto your arm as you go. Continue casting on until you have at least 18 stitches on your arm. This will make a small blanket or throw. If you want a larger blanket, then try casting on 24 to 30 stitches.

Arms are often the most coveted upper body muscles, as strong arms are generally considered attractive. More importantly, you need you strong arms to handle almost all upper body lifts.   Biceps: The classic “flexing” muscle, your are biceps located between your elbow and shoulder on the inside of your arm. They are used to curl your arm towards itself.  Forearms: Located between your wrist and elbow. Often overlooked, your forearm is a major part of your hand and wrist strength. Rest your elbow on you thigh with your forearm between your legs. Your arm will be bet at a 90-degree angle. Pick up a comfortable dumbbell, the one-handed weights, and hold it so that your palm faces upward and your arm can bend freely at the elbow. Slowly curl the weight up towards your shoulder. Lower it slowly until your arm is bent at a 90-degree angle, then repeat for 3 sets of 10-15 reps. Use a two-handed barbell instead of dumbbells to work out both biceps at once. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and elbows at ninety degrees. Slowly curl the barbell up to your chest with both arms and then return it to your starting position. Repeat for 10-15 reps. Rest your forearm on a bench across your lap with your wrist hanging freely over the edge and your palm facing upwards. Pick up a small weight, usually between 5 and 10 lbs. Using only your wrist, curl the weight towards your body and then slowly place it back down, doing 15-20 reps with each arm. Try this exercise with your palm facing down to work slightly different forearm muscles. Your forearm, which controls a lot of your gripping power, will help with most lifts because you need to hold onto heavy weights. Your biceps come into play in a lot of exercises, most prominently during pull-ups or chin-ups.

Arroz Con Pollo is traditionally served with tortillas in a variety of Latin American countries. For instance, in parts of Mexico, corn tortillas are traditionally grilled until just charred around the edges, then served hot with the meal. For a truly authentic experience, try serving with plenty of corn tortillas (preferably hot) and eating with your hands! If you're up for a challenge, try making the tortillas yourself. The recipe uses just a few ingredients and is quite simple to make. Like your Latin food hot and spicy? Adding heat to your sofrito is as simple as chopping up a chili pepper (or two, or three) and adding them to the mix when you put the rest of the vegetables in your pan. For most, adding a single pepper to the recipe above should provide sufficient spiciness. It's important to note not to use the seeds of the pepper — these are typically hotter than the flesh.  Below is a list of some of the most common peppers available for cooking, ranked from mildest to hottest.  Jalapeño Serrano Cayenne Pequin Habañero Red Savina Paella, a rice dish that often includes seafood, chicken, and vegetables (and the national dish of Spain), is superficially quite similar to Arroz con Pollo. You can make your Arroz con Pollo resemble paella even more by adding the latter dish's signature ingredient: saffron. This spice is very expensive (in fact, it's the most expensive spice in the world) and is sold in very small quantities. Thus, you may want to save it for when you're making Arroz con Pollo for a special occasion. To add saffron to your dish, simply drop 1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads into the pot with the sofrito right before you add the rice and water, making sure to stir so that the threads are evenly distributed. Nutritionally, brown rice is superior to white rice in just about every way: it has fewer calories per gram, it's more filling, it has more fiber, it has more essential nutrients — the list goes on.

Art galleries host events to show off new artists' artwork that can help you get your name into the art world.  Local galleries enjoy loyal and steady art lovers, making them ideal places to build a following.  Even if you don't grab the attention of important art folk, you'll be spreading your name to those who may know said important art folk.  These galleries also tend to have an established network of art promoters who love to support budding artists.  Because they are often small, they tend to pay special attention to individual artists.  They also will focus on bringing in interested collectors, practically advertising your work for you.  While galleries are great, know that you aren't limited to them to showcase your work.  Cafes, office lobbies, schools, and other places of business often host mini exhibitions from local talent.  This is a great way of exposing your art to casual art fans; remember, not everyone goes to art galleries, but they do grab the occasional coffee. You'll most likely have to share a portion of the profit with the gallery.  They are helping market your name, which does come with a price.  Don't worry; this is a small price to pay for getting to share your work. Showing support to your peers may prove invaluable when the time comes to host your own exhibit.  It will also expose you to unique business opportunities and information.  When selling your art, remember it's all about who you know.  Most cities have a local art council who promote and manage art events and exhibitions.  These councils are known to give out funding to local talent, asking artists to partake in community projects or other such tasks.  Your arts community may also have a website that posts regular job opportunities or small-scale commissions.  They may also promote local exhibitions and shows.  Stay current with these local channels to find lucrative opportunities. Aside from art lovers and promoters, some businesses also love to be seen supporting the arts.  It's not uncommon for artists to be brought...

Art museums typically have informational plaques next to each work that will provide basic information about the piece. Knowing when a piece of artwork was created can help you appreciate the difficulty involved in making it. For instance, landscape paintings produced before the rise of photography (which began to include landscapes around 1860) were definitely more challenging to do! A medium refers to the material used to create a piece of art. The type of material used affects how the artist made the piece. If you can’t tell which medium was used, museums or galleries will often state the medium of an artwork on informational plaques.  Oil and acrylic paints are examples of media for painters, while bronze and marble are media for sculptors. With the rise of modern art, media has expanded to include not just types of paint and stone, but also materials like found/appropriated objects or even bodily excretions. This has led to the creation of the term “mixed-media,” which is used when talking about an art piece made from a variety of materials. For visual works, notice the artist’s ability to create confident lines. Lines are created when an artist draws or paints marks on a page, when a sculptor bends or shapes material, or when a photographer angles their camera a certain way. Some ways to describe lines are dashed, bold, rough, smooth, or implied. Note any interesting shapes that grab your eye when you look at a piece of art and think about how the artist achieved them. Shapes can be geometric or organic.  Geometric shapes are simple, commonly-recognized shapes like squares or rectangles. Organic shapes are unique and free-form. Looking at still life paintings of fruit is a great way to understand how artists have experimented with shape. Ask yourself why the artist chose to use the combination of colors that they did and if these colors work in harmony or contrast. Color has an enormous effect on how we feel when we look at a piece. For example, pieces with blue undertones are known to have a calming...

Artificial lights set your internal clock to "awake" when you should be asleep, suppressing the release of the sleep hormone melatonin. On the contrary, turning off the lights prior to bed gives your body the signal that it is night-time and sleep-time.  Use light-restricting black out curtains. Switch to lower-wattage lamps as you get ready for bed. Use a night light for late-night toilet runs. Put away digital clocks with glowing displays. Make sure the room is at a comfortable temperature for you. The human body temperature should be cooler that during daytime hours - most experts suggest the temp should be at least 5 to 10 degrees cooler. It depends on your personal preference, but the best sleep is between 60 and 67 degree Fahrenheit. You may be able to drift off to sleep with background noise, but, in the wee hours of the night, sound can easily pull you from your slumber. If you fall asleep to music, set a timer so that it goes off 20 to 30 minutes later. If your bedroom is positioned near a noisy intersection, or your neighbors are rambunctious night owls, grab a pair of earplugs to ensure a peaceful night's rest. If you are talking on the phone, watching TV, or eating late-night snacks in your bed, your body will find it hard to associate this zone for resting. Make the bedroom a technology-free zone. Use your bed primarily for sleeping and sex, so that falling asleep gets easier.

As a beginner, it is very likely that you’ll crash your helicopter at some point, so just take that as a given and start off with something that you won’t mind banging up. Choose a “toy” helicopter rather than a “hobby-grade” one. Familiarize yourself with the basic principles of flying before upgrading to a more advanced or expensive model.  Another bonus is that toys are preassembled, while hobby-grade ones often require you to put them together yourself. A mistake will affect your helicopter’s performance. And if your helicopter isn’t performing correctly, learning how to fly it correctly obviously becomes much more difficult. Toy helicopters are often cheaper than hobby-grade ones, but not always. If the packaging is vague in description and you're unsure of which one a particular model is, visit a brick-and-mortar hobby store or join an online forum for enthusiasts to ask. Don’t expect toys to last very long. If you definitely have a long-term interest in flying RC helicopters, consider buying a lower-end hobby-grade helicopter if money is an issue. Benefits include:  Replaceable batteries: The battery life for both toys and hobby-grade helicopters is usually under ten minutes. The batteries in toys are typically fixed in place (which means you have to recharge them before flying again), but with hobby-grade helicopters you can swap the drained battery with a fresh one. Replaceable parts: Toys can’t be repaired once things start to break (which they will definitely start doing in a short amount of time). Hobby-grade helicopters, however, allow you to replace specific parts when they break or wear out. Better design: Even the cheapest hobby-grade helicopter is designed with the enthusiast in mind, rather than someone looking for a fun one-time thrill. This means they perform much better than a toy, which makes learning how to control them easier. Whether you go with a toy or a hobby-grade helicopter, expect a variety of designs. Since you’re a newbie, opt for a “coaxial,” which are more stable in flight...

As a business owner, the most important goal when beginning a new business, job, or craft is simply to survive. If you’re starting your own business or getting in on the ground floor, avoid establishing unrealistic goals for the fledgling enterprise.  The heart of all businesses, even those with altruistic, selfless ownership, is making money. The goal might be modest (just enough to allow your business to survive and grow) or enormous (to attract additional investors and satisfy shareholders), but this is true to some degree for every business. You will never achieve that goal of, say, providing mittens to all of the underprivileged kids  in the world through your new mitten shop, if you don’t focus on keeping that coffee shop in business and thriving first. Long-term goals are important, but shouldn’t come at the expense of sustainable short-term ones. Ever heard the saying “You’ve gotta spend money to make money?” Frugality is advised wherever possible, but only so much that it frees up capital for the more important, more deserving expenses. Those expenses might be the salaries of particularly accomplished professionals you’re hoping to woo, or trade magazines, or simply a nice suit so as to look the part in the company of your colleagues and clients. Aim to invest in future success, not just celebrate current success. Avoid exorbitantly expensive ties and jackets, company cars, and huge offices you really don’t need—but don’t take it for granted that nice things are automatically exorbitant. Image is an important component of success in business, but not just when it comes to the superficial. Having an enormous office you can’t fill or work you can’t pay for punctually (on account of that enormous office or company car lease) will feed into other companies’ perception of you as well. New businesses need to survive if they’re going to ever be anything, but all businesses must take on risk of some kind. Stepping outside the norm, either in your role at a company or in the expectations for the industry, is...

As a dairy product, yogurt contains acids that can help lighten dark spots. The “good” bacteria in yogurt may be beneficial as well, as they are known to contain enzymes that can break down proteins like melanin.  Rub the plain yogurt onto your dark spots that need “fading”. Leave on until the yogurt dries, and then rinse off with cool water. Some herbs may help the yogurt remove the spots from your skin.  Apply the yogurt and herb mixture directly onto your face and any other area with spots. Leave on until dry, and then rinse off with cool water. The following herbs contain antioxidants and bioflavonoids that can help lighten brown spots when combined with yogurt:  1 tablespoon of mustard powder 1 tablespoon of turmeric/curcumin powder 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel . Castor oil contains antioxidants that can protect and lighten the skin. Soak a cotton ball with a few drops of castor oil and dab on your skin anywhere you want to fade the spots.

As a general rule, it's wise to spend your effort finding a few long, difficult words than it is to look for lots of short, easy words. Not only are longer words worth more points — they're also less likely to be found by other players, which means there's a better chance you'll score points from them. As an example, scoring a tough eight-letter word like "acquaint" means your opponent has to find eleven unique three- or four-letter words to match your score. Since these easy words are more obvious, it will be much harder for her to find eleven that no one else has found. The letter S is your best friend in Boggle. Sticking it at the end of a noun or many verbs will instantly get you an extra word that's one letter longer. It's easy to forget this simple trick, so racking up lots of plurals is a great way to find words that your opponents will overlook. Other common prefixes and suffixes can be used in a similar way. For instance, an "-ed" at the end of most verbs will give you a separate word that's two letters longer. Other combinations to look for are "er," "est," "ier," "de," "re," and "es." Short words may not be the most effective way to get points, but if you're crafty, they can push you over the edge to victory. A good way to find short words that other people won't is to use anagrams — different words made from the same letters. You may be surprised how many words you can make from a handful of five or six letters. For instance, if you have the letters H, E, A, R, and T in a cluster, "heart" is the obvious word that everyone will notice. However, it's not as likely that everyone will notice "earth," "rate," "tear," "rat," "heat," "tea," "hater," "art," and the other words made from these letters. Some Boggle sets come with a "challenge cube" that you can use in place of one of the other letter dice (chosen at random). Successfully making a word with the challenge cube gives you five extra points for that word, which makes it a great scoring opportunity. Be careful, though — everyone else will be...

As a general rule, the substrate material should be removed and replaced every 2 months. If you see that the substrate is visibly soiled before that point, replace it early. While the aquarium is empty, clean it with a 5% bleach solution and rinse it thoroughly. Buy a small plastic tank from a pet store to hold your toad while you clean its aquarium. Many veterinarians will not treat toads as they do not have enough experience with their physiology and illnesses. If you suspect that your toad is sick, look for "exotic pet" veterinarians and inquire about their experience with amphibians. An inexperienced vet may inadvertently do harm to your toad while trying to treat it. Limit touching your toad to when you need to move it and avoid picking it up for fun. Toads prefer not to be handled and get frightened easily by human contact. Their skin may also cause irritation to human skin after prolonged contact, so keep this kind of touching brief.  Always wash your hands immediately before and after handling your toad. Any lotions, perfumes, or other substances on your hands may irritate your toad.

As a general rule, you will shoot better if you grip the pistol with as much strength as possible while still maintaining the ability to control the trigger. It is important, though, that you only grip with your hands.  When you grip the pistol, pay attention to what your shoulders and arms are doing. If they feel tense, you need to relax them. Your hands should be the only part of your body in which you feel the tension of the grip. You may find it easier to keep tension out of your arms if you grip the gun before your arms are in a shooting position. Push your arms out in front only after you have a secure grip on the gun. A pistol grip that is too relaxed will cause the pistol to recoil too much, but a grip that is too hard may mess with your sight alignment or cause your hands to weaken too quickly. Position your wrists so that the heel of your non-dominant hand is as high and flat on the gun as possible. In doing this, you can ultimately support and control the pistol better. As a general rule, you want both hands to be as high up on the gun as they can be. You need to secure the center of weight or pivot point to prevent the gun from flipping over during its recoil. If you keep your grip too low, you will not be able to steady the gun at this point. This technique is also known as the push-pull method. As you apply forward pressure with your dominant or firing hand, you should pull rear pressure using your non-dominant or non-firing hand.  This technique reduces the amount of recoil you will encounter and can improve your aim. The supporting (non-dominant) arm should be bent with the elbow pulled down. The firing (dominant) arm should be fully extended with the elbow and wrist locked.

As a hiring manager reviews your application, they will look for certain red flags. These won’t necessarily prevent you from getting the job. However, you’ll need to address them. Identify if any of the following apply to you:  criminal history financial mismanagement, such as bankruptcy plagiarism in school poor academic performance gaps in employment Having a criminal conviction will make it harder for you to get a job. Nevertheless, you must address the convictions. Most applications request your criminal background information, and you must be honest.  Try to put them off until the middle of the interview. Hiring managers remember the first and last things you say the most. Acknowledge the crime but then explain what you’ve learned. For example, “That DUI was a huge mistake. But it was the wake-up call I needed. I started AA and began to focus more on my future, which is why I entered school shortly afterwards.” Pivot to your current and future plans as much as possible. For example, you should discuss your educational goals and any job training. You can expect an employer to perform a background check on you at some point in the interview process. Accordingly, they will find out your terrible credit score or bankruptcy. Provide context for your financial struggles.  For example, a family member might have been ill and you racked up large medical bills. You needed the bankruptcy to wipe out your debts.  You can also explain that a family member had a period of extended unemployment, which caused you to rely on credit cards. The worst answer is to admit that you blow money in an irresponsible manner. If that’s why your credit is bad, you can focus on what steps you’ve taken to correct the problem: “I lost control of my credit situation, but I’ve been focused over the past three years building it back up. Credit counseling has helped.” You might have struggled to graduate, with many failed courses along the way. Or you might have been punished for academic misconduct, such as plagiarism. In either case, you...

As a manager or business owner, you know best the goals for your company. Consider things like sales goals, goals for employees and management, and where you would like to see your business a few years down the road.  Try to make your goals not only as specific as possible, but also attainable and worthy of working towards. For example, set financial goals that are within probability for your business, and set goals for employee performance that are achievable through following the policies and procedures you will set.  Once you’ve set the goals, make sure you are ready to commit to them as a business owner or manager. Setting goals is an important first step in crafting policies and procedures. Of course, following through is equally as important. Think about the day-to-day happenings and duties in your business. Write down each task that would need to be done each day to keep things running smoothly. Consider the following: what tasks will need formal outlining or directions? Which procedures will need to be done consistently the same way? Rather than focusing on menial tasks that won’t need much instruction, focus on the bigger picture items. Policies exist in business to keep things running smoothly and to hold employees and managers to certain standards of performance. Think about the problems that could arise if there are no policies in place. This will help you come up with the policies themselves. While thinking of potential issues, come up with brief ideas for how you might solve or correct them. Think of issues surrounding the day-to-day activities of your business, such a financials, interactions between employees and customers, and employee behavior and conduct.

As a part of your conversations, talk about what types of things interest the person. Knowing what the individual likes and dislikes can better cue you into your friend’s personality.  Pick up on comments about the person’s interests and incorporate them into  your conversation. This may stimulate further conversation and help you learn more about the person. It can also lead to doing activities together, which can also deepen your relationship to the person. For example, say, “Did you just mention that you love Vietnamese food? I’ve never had it before—what are some of your favorite dishes?”  Ask questions about the person’s interests. For example, if you want to get to know the person sitting next to you say, “I noticed that really beautiful picture on your desk. Where did you take it?” Mention your interests as a part of your conversation. This can help the other person get to know you better and shows your interest in having a dialogue with your friend. Consider using the person’s interests as a way to introduce yours. For example, if you’re talking about food you could say, “I'm a huge fan of trying new cuisines and Mexican is one I just don’t know well. Can you tell me a little more about it and what types of dishes you like?” In order to pick up on the person’s interests and personality, listen and watch closely to what your friend says and does. This shows your interest and gives you a point from which to start a conversation or suggest getting together for an activity.  Talk about a mixture of serious and more lighthearted subjects to get a better sense of the person’s personality. For example, talk about something such as pets for lighter topics. You could say, “What kind of dog do you have or want to get?” For more serious topics, keep it non-controversial at first so that you don’t offend the person. You could say, “Can you believe how mean-spirited the race for president has become?” Ask questions about the person’s statements to show your interest in getting to know him or her.

As a pregnant woman, you need to make sure you are eating the proper nutrients to sustain healthy, fitness, and your pregnancy. By eating a healthy, well-balanced diet you can help ensure that you and your unborn baby get the necessary vitamins and minerals.  In addition to your regular calorie intake, you will need to factor in extra calories for sustaining your pregnancy. You will need up to 450 calories per day to support your unborn child.  Eat healthy and nutrient dense foods such as lean proteins including chicken or beef, fruits and vegetables such as raspberries or broccoli, and dairy products like yogurt or cheese for calcium.  Be careful when consuming seafood or fish. Limit your cooked fish intake to 8 to 12 oz. per week and your canned intake to 6 oz. per week. Avoid tuna steaks, swordfish, mackerel, shark or any other fish with high mercury levels. However, there is no need to avoid low mercury fish, such as salmon. Try and avoid unhealthy calories such as those found in sweets and junk food. You might want to avoid any foods that can cause digestive issues for you or your child, or unborn baby, including spicy foods, eggs, wheat, corn, or peanuts. However, keep in mind that some research has suggested that this is not an effective way to prevent allergies. If you are suffering from nausea or vomiting due to either morning sickness and find it difficult to eat, consult your doctor or a registered dietician, who can help you find solutions to get proper nutrition. It’s important to make sure that you’re drinking plenty of liquids while pregnant. Not only do you need enough liquid to avoid dehydration and support your pregnancy, but you also need it to help maintain your fitness.  You should drink at least 15 cups of water a day to stay hydrated and sustain your pregnancy.  Water is the best choice for your needs, but you can also drink non-caffeinated tea, and juices. Clear, non-caffeinated soft drinks such as ginger ale may help with nausea. You may consume coffee or caffeinated teas and soft...

As a promoter, you may be responsible for financing events yourself, so find out how large of a budget you will need. Form a list of all vendors, venues, and other service providers you will need to hire for each event. Create three hypothetical events differing in size (small, medium, large) and then contact each company on your list to ask for quotes for each size. Determine which events you can afford on your own and which will require additional investors.  For example, with concert promotion, you will at the very least need to pay the talent, book a venue (which may or may not provide its own sound system), and advertise the show. If you are promoting a small “underground” show featuring unknown local acts, you can book a stage at a small club or bar, rent a sound system if needed, and rely on flyers and word-of-mouth for advertising. But for more prominent acts, you may also need to hire security, cover transportation and room accommodations for the talent, book larger, more expensive venues, and much more. To play it safe, always plan on spending more than the quotes given in order to protect your personal profit in case unexpected costs pop up along the way. Although having a lawyer on retainer is not strictly necessary to start a career, consulting one in the beginning will help protect you from future costs due to unseen legal entanglements. At the very least, discuss local, county, state, and federal laws and regulations that bear directly on the sort of events you plan, such as any licenses or business registrations that might be required on your part. Also familiarize yourself with what constitutes a legal contract in order to avoid future liabilities. If you plan on regularly employing a lawyer, be sure to factor this cost into your overhead. Local laws may determine exactly what classification your business will belong to. Whether you are the sole owner or partner with someone else may also effect which business entity you choose. Consult with your lawyer or use the internet to conduct research...

As a singer, you’ve probably heard this advice countless times. It’s important, though! It helps you hit and maintain high notes, and helps to relax your muscles.  When you inhale, your stomach should rise first, followed by your chest. If you have trouble with this, try putting your hand on your abdomen as you breathe. It’ll remind you to focus on breathing from that area. High notes require a ton of breath control, so sing from your diaphragm and practice controlling the amount of air you use to support your vocal cords. This can be a continuation of the “oo” and “ee” sounds you used in warm-up. Once you get your voice up into the high register that you want, open up those vowel sounds to sound more like “oh” and “uh.”  As you practice this over time, you’ll notice that the higher notes are getting easier and easier to reach. Don't neglect your lower range, though. Practising low notes helps strengthen your vocal cords so you can hit the high notes as well. Each voice has certain vowels that work best when singing high notes. Others are harder to hit. You should experiment to determine which vowels work and sound best for you. Once you have an idea of which vowel works best, modify (gradually) towards that vowel as you ascend the scale. For example, you might have a hard time hitting a long "e" (like in "meet"), but you can easily hit a short "i." You could modify the long "e" in "meet" by singing "mitt" and subtly adjusting the "i" into the long "e" as you get higher. Consonants, like a hard “g,” can help you get better at cord closure. After practicing vowels for a while, put a hard “g” in front of them. This helps you maintain a steady sound by keeping your vocal cords vibrating steadily.  Also work on consonants like “m” and “n” in front of vowels. Cord closure is when your vocal cords come together to create a sound. If they aren’t “closed” all the way, it's difficult to maintain steady air flow. When rehearsing, never hesitate to sing the word "yawn" for one of those notes in your upper range. When...

As a teen or kid, you are growing at a pretty quick pace. So you probably have some clothes that don’t fit you. Go through your wardrobe and pick out nice pieces to sell that you no longer wear.  You can take your clothes to a thrift or secondhand store. These consignment stores will go through your clothes and offer you money for the items that the store decides to buy from you. Selling old clothes is a great way to make some extra money. It can also help you pay for new clothes. Make sure that any clothes you plan to sell are clean and ironed. And that your shoes are shined and without too much wear. You will have a better chance of selling your clothes if the pieces look nice and presentable. Don’t spend all your earnings or savings. If you sell your old stuff or even make things to sell, don’t spend all the money you earn. The importance of a goal is that it helps you stay committed to earning money for a specific purpose. Instead of spending all the money you earn, put at least 10% of it away. Don’t spend that money until you have reached your goal. You can easily gather up any toys or clothes that you no longer have a need for and sell these items right from your front yard.  Get your friends from the neighborhood to help you as well. The more of you there are, the more appealing your sale will look as it will have more items to browse. Your friends probably have things that can be sold and will probably be willing to help. Post signs up around your neighborhood advertising your sale a few days before the sale so people can learn about it. It’s also a good idea to hold the garage sale in the spring. Garage sales are popular in the spring as people are typically cleaning out junk that accumulated over the last year or so. Before you sell anything that you think is yours, make sure you get permission from your parents. You shouldn’t sell clothes, toys, or other items without permission. Especially if your parents were the ones who bought you these items. You can learn to make great products that are...

As an HSP, you need to manage stress effectively because your heightened senses and sensitive neural system cause you to feel stress more acutely than other people. You will likely feel the effects of stress if you attempt to keep up with outside demands when your body is telling you that you need a break to refresh and regroup.  Stress causes a physiological response in the body. It causes the body to produce increased cortisol and epinephrine, which sends your body into “flight” mode. Additionally, stress causes your liver to produce more glucose, your heart rate increases, your blood vessels dilate, your breathing rate increases, your muscles tense, and your stomach may become upset, possibly leading to vomiting.  Untreated or prolonged stress can lead to risk for hypertension, heart attack, stroke, chronic headaches, and persistent fatigue. People with highly sensitive personalities tend to either over-socialize or under-socialize.  It is important to find the right balance between getting out of your house (and your comfort zone!) while allowing yourself much-needed decompression in the form of time alone in a familiar setting.  If you spend too much time out, you may find yourself listening more to external demands than internal demands and you’re likely to become overwhelmed or over-stimulated on a regular basis. This can lead to physical symptoms of stress, including headaches, fatigue, muscle tension, and even insomnia.   If you spend too much time in, you run the risk of missing out on valuable experiences and activities. Additionally, going out can become increasingly difficult as you become less accustomed to being in unfamiliar or uncomfortable situations. If you begin to feel restless and lonely, you may want to push yourself towards more social activities. Everyone needs to get plenty of sleep to thrive, but sensitive individuals may find sleep even more important. Sleep helps the body repair and allows individuals to regulate emotions effectively. HSPs may do worse than others attempting to...

As an artist, you will be spending long hours honing your craft. Whether you're working at an easel or on a computer, you want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible. If you work with a messy medium like paint, avoid clothing that is too baggy, especially if it has sleeves. Even if you aren't worried about getting your work clothes dirty, too-loose clothing may end up smearing your work. If you work with anything that can stain, such as paint or ink, you should take precautions to keep media away from your clothes. Cover up with an apron or a painting smock. Make sure it's made of a thick enough material that your media won't soak through quickly. Even with taking care and wearing an apron, you are likely to still get the odd splash of paint here or there. Washing immediately may take care of most media on various fabrics, but you are bound to get the occasional permanent stain. Don't wear your best slacks in the studio. As a young artist, you probably don't have a lot of money. Instead of pining for designer jeans way out of your price range, learn to build a stylish wardrobe without breaking the bank.  Keep your clothes in good condition. Clothes that last longer will save you money. T-shirts and jeans may sound like a mundane combo, but you can use your own personal style to stand out. Wear T-shirts of your own design or that are otherwise unique. Wear jeans that are other colors besides the typical denim blue. A simple, creative way to stretch your wardrobe is to "mix and match" different pieces to create unique looks. Simply switching jackets between two suits will give you two "new" outfits. Second hand shops are the best way to stretch your clothing budget. In addition to basics and run-of-the-mill pieces, you'll be able to find unique styles at an affordable price. Look for quirky, odd "signature" pieces that fit your personality and will make you stand out.  You can find retro and modern styles and then easily mix and match them. Most thrift shops have one or more glass cases in the front...

As an old song says, “Breaking up is hard to do.” Scientists have even shown that romantic rejection activates the same pathways in the brain that physical pain does. It hurts when you break up with someone, and it’s completely natural to feel upset about it. Some psychologists estimate that about 98% of us have experienced some form of unrequited love, whether it’s an unreturned crush or a nasty breakup. Knowing that you’re not alone probably won’t heal your broken heart, but it could make the pain easier to bear. Don’t pretend you’re fine. Denying or minimizing your emotions -- like telling yourself “I’m really fine” or “It’s no big deal” -- will actually make them worse in the long run. You have to process how you’re feeling so you can move past it.  Cry your eyes out if you feel like it. Crying can actually be therapeutic when you’re upset. It can reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and anger. So go ahead, grab some tissues and wail your heart out if it helps.  Express your emotions through creative pursuits, like art or music. Write a song about how you feel, or play a track that comforts you. Draw a picture of your emotional state. The only thing here is to stay away from things that are too sad or angry (think death metal). These may actually increase your feelings of sadness and anger.  It’s tempting to let your grief out by punching or breaking things, screaming, or shouting, but avoid this impulse if you can. Studies show that using violence to express your anger, even if it’s toward an inanimate object like a pillow, can actually make you feel more angry. To express your anger in a healthy way, try talking about your feelings to yourself or to someone you love.  This will be easier with a family member or friend you trust. Find someone who has a shoulder you're comfortable crying on and let loose. They've likely cried on your shoulder at some point. Now all they're doing is returning the favor. Expressing how you feel, rather than bottling it all up or trying to ignore it, will help you accept that...

These will inform you about many of the tactics and techniques underlying advertising, merchandising, and marketing. It is important to make your product information available through as many channels as possible. Today, the range of potential placements has increased a great deal thanks to the advances in communications.

As directed above, allow the pork to warm gradually. When the pork reaches room temperature, season generously with a "rub" of your choice. This dry, flavorful exterior translates into a crisp, delicious crust after grilling. You have many options when it comes to dry rubs. For instance, for a BBQ-inspired rub, try rubbing the pork down with a mix of white and brown sugar, salt, pepper, and other spices of your choice (like cinnamon and cumin). Use a sharp knife to make fairly shallow cuts in a criss-cross pattern across the surface of the pork. As noted above, this allows the juices to escape, basting the pork, and allows both the heat of the grill and the flavor of the seasonings to penetrate deeper. Regardless of the type of grill you have, your goal is to cook the pork at a steady temperature of roughly 225 degrees Fahrenheit (107 degrees Celsius). A grill thermometer can help you keep track of the temperature in the grill as it warms up. Keep the grill lid closed to speed the heating process. Paint olive oil or nonstick cooking spray on the grill grates to prevent the meat from sticking during cooking. If you have a gas grill, it's relatively simple to set the grill to a medium-high heat. If you have a charcoal grill, however, it's a little more difficult. Light your charcoal and allow the flames to die down before cooking your pork. The charcoal is ready when it is mostly or entirely grey and glows with a red-orange heat. To help regulate the temperature inside the grill and prevent the pork from drying out, place an oven-safe pan or metal pie tin full of water in the grill if you have room to do so. If you have a two-level grill, a good place for this tray is on the upper cooking rack. Add your pork to the grill and close the lid. Allow the pork to cook, checking occasionally to test for done-ness. When done, the pork should have a crisp brown and black exterior, a tender texture, and the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius). Because pork cooked in this way can...

As directed above, remove the pork from the refrigerator or freezer and allow it to warm naturally. If the meat is frozen, allow it to defrost overnight. As you wait for your pork shoulder to warm, set a frying pan or skillet on the stove top. When it's hot enough that beads of water flicked into the pan boil up instantly, add a few tablespoons of oil. Add your cut of pork shoulder to the skillet. Cook in oil over high heat until brown on all sides (this can require several minutes for each side). Slow cookers like crock pots use moist heat and therefore can't give the pork a delicious "crust" on their own, which makes it necessary to crisp the exterior of the pork in a pan before slow cooking. Delicious as a cut of pork shoulder can be on its own, if you're using a slow cooker to braise your pork to moist, delicious perfection, you'll want to make sure it's not alone in the pot. Vegetables and seasonings add their flavor to the pork (and vice versa), increasing the complexity of the flavor in the dish. In addition, slow cooked "stew"-style vegetables make a great side dish for pork.  Feel free to add any vegetables you like. Chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes all work well. Additionally, any seasonings are fair game. For Latin-flavored carnitas, you might try cumin, garlic powder, and pepper, while for a more European flavor, you might try sage, rosemary, and thyme. Place the pork shoulder into the crock pot on top of the other desired ingredients. Sprinkle any seasonings you're using over the pile of ingredients. Then, cover 1/2 to 3/4 of the pork shoulder with liquid. This can be a variety of things - water, unsweetened apple juice, beer, or, commonly, stock are all frequent choices. Make your choice based on what pairs well with the ingredients and seasonings in your pork dish - there's no one "right" answer. Feel free to mix and match!  As an example, if you're making the carnitas described above, you might try slow cooking your pork in Mexican beer for a delicious, complex taste. Also, when...

As fish ages and begins to go bad, its outer surface will become wetter and eventually develop a thin layer of slime. This is a good sign that your fish has begun to spoil. Once fish has fully spoiled, the slimy moisture on the meat will feel thick and slippery to the touch.  Discard fresh fish as soon as you notice the beginning of this slimy texture. Cooked fish will not develop a slimy coating, even after it’s started to go bad. All fish—raw or cooked—smells like fish. However, refrigerated fish that has started to go bad will have an increasingly fishy smell. If given enough time, this potent fish smell will develop into the putrid smell of rotting meat. As fish continues to spoil, its pungent fish smell will grow stronger and stronger. It’s best to discard fish as soon as it starts to smell “off.” Fish meat is typically light pink or white in color, with a thin, clear film of liquid. As fresh or refrigerated fish ages and begins to go bad, the meat will take on a glossy, milky color. The milky parts of the fish may also take on a blue- or gray-ish tint. If you’ve already cooked your fish, it will not develop a milky color. This sign of expiration applies only to raw fish. If you’ve kept fish in the freezer for over 9 months, it may begin showing signs of freezer burn. Look for crystallized peaks of ice that have formed on the surface of the fish, and note any discolored patches as well. Discard freezer-burned food. Freezer-burned food is still technically edible, and it will not make you sick. However, fish will lose most of its flavor and take on a grainy texture as freezer burn sets in.

As hard as you try to strike a balance, there may be some situations where crossover is necessary, especially if you have kids. Consider your personal and professional lives to identify situations where some crossover may be necessary. Think about your family members and your personal responsibilities. How often do these people and responsibilities require your attention while you are working?  For example, if you have young children, then arranging your work schedule around your kids’ schedules may be necessary. Or, if you are the primary caretaker of your children and you work from home, then you may need to put work aside and take a break whenever one of your kids needs something. It is also possible that work may have to take precedent over your personal life sometimes. For example, if you work as an on-call healthcare provider, then you may sometimes need to cancel something in your personal life to do your job. The needs of others at work, school, or home can quickly overwhelm our own physical needs. Unfortunately, neglecting your health can have costly consequences, such as missing work or classes and being unable to participate in social or family events. Being anxious about getting everything done creates stress, and if it is not tended to stress can have debilitating effects on your physical and mental health.  To counteract stress and nurture your body be sure to get involved in some type of physical activity several times per week. It can be joining a company sports team, jogging around the block with your partner, or visiting a local gym. In addition to exercise, you can combat stress by consuming several balanced meals each day, getting adequate sleep, and pursuing your outside interests. When work, school, or relationships become too demanding, we might give up our hobbies or interests to meet those demands. The problem is, giving up these things take away our ability to debrief from professional and personal stress. Make an effort to protect your leisure time and continue any social outlets or...

As in the real world, the first step to flirting is to get over your cold feet and jump right in!  Text the other person a brief message asking them about their day, asking them a specific question about work or school, or simply saying "Hi!". The hardest part of flirting is to break through your initial reluctance, so if you're having a hard time taking the plunge, just remind yourself that no matter how badly it goes, it'll be less stressful than an equivalent real-world encounter.   There's no reason to be nervous when it comes to IM flirting — if the person you want to talk to doesn't want to talk to you, s/he always has the option of simply not responding to your message, as, from your point of view, this is indistinguishable from him or her simply being away from the computer. This being said, if you barely know someone, it can be a good idea to have an excuse for starting a conversation to avoid awkwardness. Asking for help with a work or school-related problem is almost always a good bet, as is asking a question about something striking about the person. For instance, if the person has a band-related username, you might say: "Hey, cool name. Did you see those guys when they last came to town?" After your initial greeting and exchange of pleasantries, you'll probably want to ask how the person's doing (just like you might in the real world). Ask him or her about work or school, his/her interests, or any recent trips, for instance. Rather than asking a question, you can also simply offer your comments on these things. When s/he responds, add your own comments or ask follow-up questions and proceed from there! Don't pry into his or her personal life — keep things light, fun, and focused on worry-free subjects.   Don't dwell too long on small talk. A minute or two is great for breaking the ice, but much more can get boring fast.

As long as the weather is still warm and dry, you should let the sunflowers reach full maturity while still growing. If possible, do not cut the flower heads off before the back turns yellow-brown. Ideally, you should wait until the sunflower loses its petals and the head droops. You might need to tie the flower head to a stake as it begins to die and droop, though. The head will become heavier, and the plant will begin to weaken under its own weight. Wrap cheesecloth or even a paper bag around around the flower heads and tie it on with kitchen twine. Doing so will protect the seeds from birds and squirrels, and it will also catch seeds that may fall off. Wait until after the flower starts to die and droop before covering the flower head. If you need to cut the flower heads off early due to pests or climate, cut off about 1 foot (30 centimetres) of the stem along with it, and hang the plants upside down inside to dry until the back of the flower head turns completely brown. Once the flowers have completely dried, you should be able to remove the seeds simply by brushing them off with your fingers or with a stiff brush. You can also use a fork. If you have multiple sunflowers, you can also remove the seeds by rubbing two sunflower heads together. Mix a cup of salt into a gallon of water. Pick through the seeds to remove any flower or extra plant bits, and then pour them into the water. Soak them for eight hours or more. Once they've soaked, strain the seeds, and spread them out on a pan. Place them in a 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius), and let them dry for about five hours. Put them in an airtight container, and stick them in the freezer to store sunflower seeds for up to a year.

As long as you have access to a Windows 7 DVD or repair disc/drive, you can use it to format your C drive. You don't have to use the disc that came with your PC—you can borrow one from a friend or create a bootable system repair disc using any Windows 7 PC.  You'll be formatting your C drive from a tool that doesn't display drive letters, so make sure you know the size of the drive and the amount of available space. If you choose the wrong drive or partition to format, you may lose data. To check the drive size, open Computer from the desktop or Start menu, right-click the C drive, and then select Properties. Formatting the C drive will delete the Windows operating system and render your PC unbootable until you install a new operating system. You can do this by clicking the Start menu, clicking the arrow next to "Shut Down," and then clicking Restart. When your computer powers back on, it will read the installation disc. If your PC won't boot from the disc or drive, see How to Set Your Computer to Boot from USB Flash Drive or How to Boot a Computer from a CD to learn how to change the boot order in the BIOS.  You'll see a message that says "Setup is starting." To proceed to the next screen, you must place a checkmark in the box next to "I accept the license terms." This displays a list of installation options. It's on the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen. Note that you will not see a "C" on the drive. If you only see one partition, choose that one. Otherwise, choose the partition that reflects your C drive's statistics (its capacity, available space, etc.). A confirmation message will appear. When the cursor turns back into an arrow, you'll know that the drive formatting is complete. Now that you've formatted the drive, you'll probably want to install an operating system so you can still boot the PC. If the operating system you want is Windows 7, click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall. If you don't want to reinstall Windows 7, simply eject or remove the installation media...

As mentioned above, nearly anything that was once alive (and a few that were not) are potential food sources for mold. However, some molds are more common than others.  One of the most common molds is penicillin, which often grows on bread. Bread is convenient for mold for the same reason that it is a great food for people. The organic matter in the grains that make up bread your already been partially broken down. Just as with humans, bread is easier for mold to digest than are the grains themselves. Dairy products, and cheese in particular, also grow molds effectively. It may be easiest to trace the development of mold on a mold-free cheese such as a soft mozzarella. On the other hand, some cheese contains live mold inside of them or on an outer skin. These cheeses could serve as both mold food and a source for mold. Molds release spores that can cause allergies, and a few can even cause infections. While most are harmless, you should protect yourself. Look for a potential container in which the mold can grow. The best containers should be clear so you can observe the mold without exposing yourself to it. They also must have airtight and watertight seals. Even if you do not add moisture, the decomposition process will likely get messy.  One of the best container options is a clear, sealable plastic bag. You can observe the mold as it grows, keep it perfectly contained, and then throw it away when it’s finished growing. You may want to use a high-quality plastic bag, as a broken seal later can lead to an awful mess. For all of the reasons previously mentioned, you should find a disposable container. After you have created a container full of mold, you must not open it. As noted earlier, molds do not need to be kept out of the light, but high exposure to sunlight can potentially dry them out. Also, while some can live in the cold, the majority grow best in warm environments. Find a warm, sheltered place to keep you mold as it grows. Mold spores are everywhere, and you will not need to “plant” them on the food...

As mentioned above, one sure-fire way to cause a jam is to feed more paper into a shredder than it is designed to handle at once. Luckily, the solution here is simple: after a jam, make an effort to feed fewer pieces of paper into your shredder than you previously did. Another way that jams are frequently caused is by feeding several loads into the shredder without giving each a chance to process completely (this is called "fast-feeding.") Remember that just because a sheet of paper has disappeared completely into the shredder does not mean it has been completely shredded. To avoid fast-feeding the shredder, simply wait a few seconds after each paper load before adding the next one. Folds, wrinkles and creases can easily jam a shredder as each one essentially doubles the effective amount of paper has to work through at once. Smooth out any rough spots on your paper before adding it to your shredder. It's easy to accidentally crease the edges of a piece of paper if you're storing or handling it roughly, so be careful with the papers you plan to shred to avoid unnecessary hassles. ) Materials thicker than ordinary paper can be difficult for shredders to handle. Try shredding these tough items by themselves to prevent a jam:  Credit cards CDs or DVDs Laminated paper pages Cardboard Thick packaging materials Material containing adhesives. As noted above, a full bin under your shredder can cause jams by preventing paper from leaving the shredder as it is processed. To avoid this, just empty your bin before this becomes a problem. If jams seem to occur for this reason frequently, try posting a schedule for emptying the bin next to the shredder (for example, "Please empty Monday and Thursday afternoons.") Shredder oil isn't just a one-time fix for clearing jams however it's also a valuable tool for keeping your shredder in tip-top shape. Try adding a few drops to your shredder's blades every time you empty the wastebasket or a few times each month to keep the blades sharp and well-lubricated. Note that (as mentioned...

As mentioned earlier, listeriosis may spread to your nervous system, leading to a stiff neck, a headache, loss of balance, convulsions, and/or an altered level of consciousness. If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, seek medical help immediately.  Also see a doctor if you have poor overall health, or are elderly, as your immune system may be weaker than the average person and you may need medical support fighting off your infection. Always see a physician if you are pregnant, or if you suspect that your newborn has listeriosis, as this can be very serious if prompt medical attention is not received. Listeriosis is most often treated with a combination of two antibiotics: Ampicillin and Gentamicin. Antibiotics are generally not needed in healthy adults with a mild infection, whose immune systems are competent enough to fight off the infection; however, antibiotics are generally offered to:  Elderly patients Pregnant women (as a means to protect the unborn baby) Newborns Individuals with other medical conditions leading to overall weakened immune systems (such as HIV/AIDS, an organ transplant, or other autoimmune conditions) People in whom the Listeria bacteria has spread to infect their nervous system, which always requires emergency medical care. If Listeria infects a newborn, it can be especially dangerous. As such, it requires prompt medical treatment and ongoing monitoring, usually in a hospital setting. If your newborn appears ill and has any of the symptoms mentioned above, seek prompt medical attention for diagnosis. Normally, a few different antibiotics will be given to your newborn in order to provide the maximum treatment possible. Your newborn will also be monitored (usually in the hospital setting) where the doctors can keep track of his or her vital signs and overall health. This way, if any complications occur, they can be recognized and handled by experienced medical professionals as soon as possible. Signs of a possible listeriosis in a newborn include irritability, fever, vomiting, and...

As mentioned in the previous section, goats will require a sheltered indoor area for sleeping, feeding and protection from the weather and night-time predators.  The housing does not need to be very elaborate, and as long as the goats have plenty of outdoor space to roam around during the day, it doesn't have to be very large - goats like to sleep together in small groups. You just need to make sure that the shelter stays dry and draft-free. It's also a good idea to have a small stall where you can place sick, injured or heavily pregnant goats. The floor of the shelter should be covered in a thick layer of bedding, comprised of wood shavings (anything except cedar), straw or waste hay. Goats are notorious escape artists, as they can climb trees, jump over fences, chew through rope and wriggle their way through the smallest of spaces. Therefore, it is essential that you erect a strong, goat-proof fence around the enclosure.  Your fence should be a minimum of four feet high, or five feet for more active goat breeds such as Nubians. Wooden, stock panel or chain-link fences are all good options if you are building a new fence. However, if you simply want to goat-proof an existing fence, you can use high tensile, smooth electrified wire. Also make sure to brace any gates or fence posts on the outside of the fence as this will prevent goats from climbing up them. You should also make sure that the goats' shelter does not have an easily climbable roof. Goats are browsers rather than grazers, which means that they prefer to eat twigs, leaves and weeds rather than plain grass.  This allows goats to be raised alongside sheep, cows and horses, as they do not compete for food. Goats can also be used to clear rough land and get rid of unwanted vegetation. If you live in a green or wooded, rural location, feel free to put your goats out to pasture and let them forage for things like young shrubs and saplings, blackberry canes, poison ivy and clover, to name but a few. Goats will not get all the nourishment they need from...

As much as the tree bag is convenient, it's not very Christmas-y, so cover the tree bag with a tree skirt (that's one of those decorative wraps that goes around the base, under your presents). Until tree bags come Rudolph-themed, this'll be a step. Your first step in decorating should be stringing the lights. For artificial and real trees, the key here is (might not be the way dad did it) to string along the branches. Not across the branches like Christmas neophytes do.  First, mentally divide your tree into tall sections -- the same number as the amount of lights you have. Ideally you'll have at least 5 strings of lights. Another tip? LEDs are better for the environment and will keep your fuses from blowing.  With your first strand, string it up the top, wrap it along the topmost branch and work your way down, going up each branch and back down it. This minimizes exposed cords. Repeat for each strand of lights. When you're done, step back and squint. Do you see any dark holes? If so, adjust as necessary. This can be a family free-for-all or can be a highly coordinated, themed look. Heck, you can just have lights if you want, or lights and ribbon, or the whole shebang. Just make sure to take a step back every few minutes to make sure the ornaments and decorations are spread out evenly. For the first week or so, a 7-foot tree could go through about 2 quarts of water a day. And like discussed before, make sure it doesn't run out of water! If you take good care of it it could last over a month. Don't worry about those fancy additives people try to sell you. Plain ol' water is all your tree needs. Just make sure there's enough of it. And if Fluffy likes to drink out of the base, be extra diligent!

As much as your pet is your friend and companion, they are treated as property under the law. You don't need to make any special agreements with the new owner regarding care and treatment, but you can if you want.  For example, you may want your pet to continue going to the same vet. If the new owner lives in the same town as you, they may agree to do this. If your pet is currently taking any medications, discuss this continued treatment with the new owner. Make sure they understand the dosing schedule. Many nonprofit pet adoption services have sample transfer of ownership agreements that you can use for your own purposes. Just remember to adapt the agreement to suit your needs. Don't copy clauses verbatim if you don't understand them or they don't apply to your situation.  For example, if you and your new owner live in North Carolina, you wouldn't want to copy an agreement clause that stated the agreement was governed by the laws in the state of California. Pet attorneys and legal document websites also have sample transfer of ownership agreements you can use. Some of them will charge a fee for you to access or create these documents. List the full legal names of both yourself and the new owner, and state that you are transferring full and complete ownership of the pet from yourself to the new owner. State the address of the primary residence of both you and the new owner. You may also want to include additional contact information, such as phone numbers or email addresses. The transfer of ownership agreement should include a description of your pet, including the animal, breed (if appropriate), and coloration. You may also include your pet's name if you want.  Many transfer of ownership agreements also include medical information about the pet, such as a record of veterinary checkups and vaccinations. You may also want to disclose if your pet has any diagnosed medical conditions, such as a heart murmur or hip dysplasia. Include license or tag numbers and any registration or microchip numbers associated with...

As noted above, pellets compose a significant, if varying, percentage of each pet bird breed's diet.  Part of the reason for pellets' popularity is that they provide better nutrition and involve less waste than seed-based diets.  Birds are savvy creatures; they will pick and choose their favorites from among a collection of mixed seeds.  This practice often results in nutritional deficiencies.  A similar principle applies when considering the rest of your bird's diet.  Mash mixture is a homemade supplement to store-bought pellets and is especially popular with parrots.  Biologically, birds are best adapted to raw foods.  Mash allows you to provide the complex carbohydrates, fats, and protein your bird needs in raw form. Because it is mixed, your bird will be "forced" to consume a full range of nutrients. Take note of the provided ratios to ensure the balanced nutrition of your mash.  25 percent cooked mixed beans such as mung, adzuki, or garbanzo beans 25 percent cooked grains including quinoa and amaranth 25 percent high-calcium greens such as kale, chard, mustard greens, collard greens, or dandelion greens 15 percent high-vitamin A fruits and vegetables such as cooked sweet potatoes or squash, carrots, papaya, and mangoes 10 percent miscellaneous additions -- any bird-safe vegetable or fruit that catches your eye at the store You'll want the mash to retain a chunky texture. Medium-sized parrots will typically consume about 1/4 cup of the mash mixture per day; adjust the quantity for smaller or larger birds. Making mash isn't a speedy process given the variety of foods involved, but preparing and freezing large quantities will help you maximize your time and effort.  Determine how much mash your bird will eat each day and then freeze in serving-size quantities for easy defrosting. Make defrosting a regular part of your daily routine so you don't find yourself facing a hungry bird and a frozen block of mash.

As noted above, raptors used for falconry are housed in structures called mews. Before you try to get a bird, make sure you have proper facilities to house it. Under the guidance of your sponsor (and while keeping local laws and regulations in mind), construct facilities to house your bird. These facilities will usually have to be inspected by your local wildlife agency before you can legally keep a raptor in them.  In general, facilities can be made out of wood or fiberglass and cannot have chicken wire on the roofs. Natural flooring, pea gravel, concrete or wood shavings can be used for the floor. There must be perches with at least one by a window. One bird will require a space of at least 6 feet (1.8 m) by 8 feet (2.4 m) by 7 feet (2.1 m) high; this will have to be doubled with a wall in between for two birds. Many jurisdictions require an attached weathering yard where birds can be tethered with a leash. These facility requirements can differ by region so, as always, contact your state/provincial wildlife agency for specific details.  You will also need a bath container and a reliable scale to monitor the health of your bird. Falconry requires specialized equipment to manage your bird. Required equipment can vary by bird species, individual and local laws and regulations, so check with your local falconry club to make your checklist. Making this equipment is often cheaper than buying it, and, if you're seriously dedicated to falconry, this can be a valuable skill to have. However, your equipment will almost always need to be inspected for quality at the same time as your facilities are inspected, so only attempt to make your equipment if you are an experienced craftsmen. In most cases, you will need an anklet (leash to attach to the bird’s leg), an identification band, a button (braided end of a leash, also called a knurl), a creance (long line for training the bird), a gauntlet (left hand gloves worn by falconer), a hood, jesses (leather strips to which the lease will be attached), the leash, a lure...

As noted, you stand a better chance of making a royal flush if you’ve been dealt at least some of the cards that make up a royal flush.  If you’ve been dealt four of the cards that make up a royal flush, your chances of getting the fifth card are 1 in 47. If you’ve been dealt three of the cards that make up a royal flush, your chances of getting a fourth card to make up the royal flush are 2 in 47. Your chances of getting both of the cards you need, however, is 1 in 1081. If you’ve been dealt two of the cards that make up a royal flush, your chances of getting the other three drop to 1 in 16,215. If you’ve been dealt only one of the cards that make up a royal flush, your chances of getting the other four drop to 1 in 178,365. The more cards that make up a royal flush you’re dealt, the better your chances of making it. Which cards of the flush you’re dealt also have an impact on whether you should try to play for the royal flush or settle for a lesser hand.  If you’ve been dealt four cards of the royal flush, you have a better chance of getting a winning hand if you have the king, queen, jack, and ten instead of the ace, king, queen, and jack. With an ace-high hand, you have to hope to draw the ten of the same suit (a 1 in 47 proposition); otherwise, the best hand you can get, by drawing a lower card of the same suit, is an ace-high flush, which can be beaten by any straight flush, four of a kind, or full house. With a king-high hand, you have a 2 in 47 chance of getting either a royal flush or king-high straight flush (by drawing a nine of the same suit), which is the second-best poker hand you can get. You should also try to play for the royal only if you have consecutive cards and can try to draw the cards outside those you already have instead of those between those you have. If you have non-consecutive cards, such as the ace, king, jack, and ten, while you have the same 1 in 47 chance of drawing the queen of the same suit that you would of drawing an ace of the suit when you have the king through the ten,...

As obvious as this sounds, removing exposure or limiting the amount of time your child is exposed to cats will drastically improve their allergy symptoms. If you're going to visit someone with a cat, warn the hosts about your child's allergy. Ask them to keep the cat out of the the room where your child will be from now until the end of your visit. If you are taking your child to a house where you know there are cats, give your child an allergy medicine a few hours before exposure. This can minimize his reaction and he won't have to be uncomfortable waiting for the allergy medicine to kick in if he takes when he is already exposed to the cat. Keep your cat out of bedrooms, playpens, off the couch, and generally away from any area where your child spends a lot of time. If you have a finished basement that your child doesn't go into often, keeping the cat segregated in the basement can be viable solution. Reducing the amount of airborne allergens in your home can go a long way in relieving your child's allergy symptoms. Air conditioners with allergen control filters, such as HEPA filters, successfully reduce the amount of airborne allergens in your home. Cat fur and skin can buildup on your couches, in your carpet, on the drapes, and generally anywhere else the cat goes. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner and use it often. Also, use carpet shampoo, de-sanitizing sprays and anti-bacterial wipes often on the surfaces in your home to eliminate any unnecessary allergens left by your cat. Cats, by nature, have a tendency to get into, under, and on top of everything in your home. So make sure you pay attention to areas that you wouldn’t usually consider high-traffic, such as behind the couch or under the bed. Bathing your cat regularly can help to reduce the amount of dander and excess fur she leaves around the house. As such, washing your cat is another effective step in combating your child’s allergies. It is important to remember that cats don’t like baths, and they naturally do not need them very often. Be sure to...
