Even once you find that special someone and you think you are ready to take things to the next level, move slowly. This may be frustrating, but, sometimes, a mental illness can make you feel strongly for someone who is in not necessarily a good match. In order to take care of yourself and ensure that you are in a  healthy relationship, take your time making any commitments. Relaying your thoughts and feelings when you are recovering from mental illness can be difficult. However, it’s important to understand that communication is a fundamental element to having a healthy and supportive relationship with your partner.  Have the courage to share your feelings with your partner, and be willing to listen when they do the same. Avoid name-calling, guilt-tripping, or threatening your partner. If you have unhealthy conflict resolution skills, try couples therapy to learn ways to fight fair and resolve arguments in a productive way. A healthy and secure relationship involves two partners who acknowledge and respect one another’s personal boundaries. It may seem counterproductive to set limits in your relationship, but boundaries allow both partners to express what makes them feel safe and happy in the relationship.  Sit down with your partner and discuss your boundaries. For example, you might say, “Privacy is really important to me due to having obsessive-compulsive disorder. Can you please give me advanced notice whenever you come over to visit?” It may help to do this in the presence of your therapist who can help you facilitate this discussion and brainstorm idea. Plus, this professional will have insight into your illness to know what boundaries will be most helpful to you and your partner. Dating with a mental illness can leave you open to becoming too dependent on your partner. It’s easy for a person recovering from a mental health crisis to latch on to a new partner, seeing them as a savior of sorts. You may come to believe that with this person you have found healing, which leads to you dropping out of...

Even people who never watched The Little Rascals know the Alfalfa character for his humorous suspenders-and-bowtie combo and trademark cowlick. An Alfalfa costume would be quick and easy to throw together with one trip to a thrift shop, and you'll be able show up dressed as a kid character that everyone can identify. If you and your friends are celebrating Halloween together, put together group-themed costumes and recreate the entire Little Rascals gang.  This costume should be simple. A checkered shirt, suspenders, clip-on bowtie, tall socks and gelled cowlick or cowlick wig should be all you need. Use a brown felt-tip marker to dot fake freckles on your cheeks for extra detail. Wednesday is one of the most popular kid characters in all pop culture and one of the most recognizable. Creating Wednesday's signature look will be similar to compiling a schoolgirl costume, only darker. You'll need a long-sleeved black dress to layer over a white collared shirt, black buckle shoes, black or striped knee-high socks and pigtail braids. Remember not to smile too much—it's part of the look!  If you don't happen to have long, black hair, use a wash-out temporary dye, or buy a cheap black wig and braid it yourself. Bring along a rubber hand prop to be accompanied by “Thing.” ” This costume will be all about the accessories. Grab some khakis, a dress shirt and a Christmas sweater and you've got the clothing down, but Kevin McCallister's most distinguishing feature was his engineering mischief, not his wardrobe. Deck yourself out with a clothing iron, hair dryer, BB gun and even a fake tarantula and see if your friends can guess who you are. If they need a hint, just slap both cheeks and scream. It's perfectly legal to own and carry a BB gun, but might be unsafe if it's loaded or looked down upon in certain settings. Make sure the props you bring are appropriate for where you are and what you're doing. No one is off limits for a Halloween costume, not even the children of famous entertainment moguls.

Even the best of companies will occasionally get a bad review. However, if there are many bad reviews that mention the same problems over and over – “overworked and underpaid,” for example – you should view that as a warning sign. As the interview process progresses and you continue your research, think about how good a fit the company might be for you. If you get the sense that you would not fit in or that you would be unhappy, take that feeling seriously. For example, if you prefer a relaxed work environment but you find that the company culture is very fast-paced and demanding, you may decide that you would be happier elsewhere. If you are receiving unclear or inconsistent information, follow up! Inconsistencies can indicate that you are not being told the truth, that your contacts are not knowledgeable enough, or that there is a lot of uncertainty within the company. If, for example, you were told in your first interview that you would need to work every other weekend and then, in your second interview, that you would not need to work weekends at all, you need to find out which is true – and where the inconsistencies are coming from. If your initial contacts treat you unprofessionally, you may not be comfortable working at a particular company. Examples of unprofessional behavior include:  poorly written emails rudeness harassment comments or actions that make you feel uncomfortable (such as sexist or racist remarks) When you visit the workplace, evaluate your surroundings to determine whether you would be happy working there. Questions to consider include:  Do the employees seem unhappy? If you start working for the company, you may be unhappy too. Is the workplace messy and cluttered? A messy environment can be a sign that employees’ work spaces are being disregarded. Are there unsafe work areas? Unnecessarily hazardous work areas can cause major problems. Don’t put yourself at risk.

Even though a hero sounds like they should be perfect, giving them something that holds them back will help readers empathize with them. Maybe your hero will do anything to save their life, even if it involves killing someone or maybe they’re selfish and only care about themselves. Brainstorm common personal flaws and pick one for your character. For example, Superman’s flaw is that he’ll do whatever he can to save the world, but he will not kill. Putting him in a situation where he may have to harm someone makes your hero go through an interesting choice and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Just like how heroes can’t be entirely good, your villain of the story can’t be completely bad. An evil villain just for the sake of being evil makes your character flat and uninteresting. Give the antagonist a redeeming quality, such as doing what they need to save their child, so a reader can sympathize with them.  For example, HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey sees the human crew endangering their mission and chooses to wipe them out. Remember that the villain is often the hero of their own story. If your villain is a monster, they do not need to have a redeeming quality, but it could be interesting if they do. Consider having a monster feed its children rather than hunting people for fun. Quirks are small actions your characters perform that may seem odd at first, but serve a purpose that leads to a better understanding of who your character is. Maybe they constantly check their weapon because they’re cautious or they’ve lost it in the past. Whether you explain the quirks or not, make them believable in your universe. If your character has an especially odd quirk, like having to pour water on themselves to stay hydrated, you may need to explain it so readers aren’t left in the dark. The motivations of your characters are the driving forces of your story and allow readers to empathize with them. Think about why your characters are doing those specific actions and what they want to achieve overall. Consider how...

Even though bark can look beautiful, it is difficult to maintain and keep clean. In some cases, it can fall off and make a mess on the floor. Wedge a rounded chisel under the bark, then use it to peel the bark off in 6 to 8-inch (15 to 20-cm) sections.  Work your way along the edge of the slab. If you work across it, you may gouge the surface and leave marks. Scrape the fibers off with a nylon or wire brush. A rotary tool comes with many different attachments. Get the attachment that looks like a bunch of pieces of sandpaper bound together to form a wheel. Start with a 120-grit wheel, then work your way up to 180- and 220-grit. You are only sanding the edge that had the bark on it for now.  The flaps typically only have sandpaper on 1 side. Make sure that you are moving your rotary tool with these flaps facing forward. Don't move the tool back-and-forth. How much you sand the edge is up to you. Lots of woods often have worm holes under the bark. You can sand these off or leave them on for a cool effect. Live edge slabs usually have bark on 2 sides; the other 2 sides are sometimes jagged from where they were cut. If this is the case with your slab, sand the roughness away with 120-grit sandpaper. Work your way to 150-, 180-, 220-, and 320-grit. If you have a round slab, or a slab with bark on all 4 sides, you can skip this step.

Even though it might seem more practical to sort the clothes by type, organizing them by season is a more sensible long-term approach. Keep the outfits for the season handy; the rest can be stored away for now.  For summer, majority of the clothes will consist of either short dresses or tee-shirts and shorts. You will need to keep in mind items such as bathing suits, sandals and similar. For fall, more of the clothes will start getting warmer such as long sleeve shirts, pants and tights. When spring starts, layered clothing as well as rain ponchos, or jackets, will be necessary. After you’ve arranged the clothes by season, you should group them by what kind of activities they are for. You can put different clothes in different drawers, or drawer sections, based on the activity or event that your baby would wear them for.  Some common events are: indoor play time, bedtime, outdoor clothing, party, and special occasion outfits. Remember to keep the special or delicate outfits on hangers. This way you will know exactly where each type of clothing is. This is an additional and the most common method by which you can organize your baby’s clothing.  For example: all the bottoms go in one drawer; the shirts go in another. You can expand on this by separating shorts and pants, tee-shirts and shirts, footed pajamas and daytime play outfits.

Even though it's tempting to text or sleep during class, especially when there's a lecture, don't do it. There are two benefits to this: first, you'll eliminate time spent at home learning the information from scratch and you'll do better on tests because you'll know exactly what the teacher wants you to know. Paying attention is key. As you're writing, actually think about what your teacher is saying and put your notes in your own words. If you can, think of something funny to remember them (called a mnemonic). Homework will likely make up the easiest points you will earn all year. That doesn't mean you need to spend hours every night; try utilizing the time at the end of classes.  Tackle one assignment at a time. Your first section should be worksheets as they take the least amount of time. Then you should do any homework that is broken down into independent parts, such as math. That way you can work for a few minutes at the end of various classes without wasting time finding your place. Eliminate distractions. When you really don't feel like doing homework, but need to, get rid of things that normally divide your attention. Turn off the TV. Put your phone in another room. Log off your social media. Lock yourself in a room. Do the work that you know will be read in depth first, and do a good job so you can build trust with that teacher. Then do all of the work that might not be checked so closely and don't worry so much about the quality; just make sure your writing is on topic and looks lengthy and detailed. If you begin to run out of time with just a few unimportant assignments to do, work quickly through them all making sure to complete them all. Teachers value effort greatly and will appreciate it if you do your homework and the easiest way to an A is to make your teacher happy. Compartmentalize the tasks needed to complete the assignment.

Even though life with an infant often doesn't allow for long stretches of uninterrupted sleep, try to nap when you're tired if you can. Being well rested helps keep up your supply. 64 ounces a day minimum is a good place to start. Nursing depletes your body of liquids and you need to replenish yourself. You might find that you need bigger portions. This is normal. Feeding an infant requires about 20 calories for one ounce of milk. This means that you will probably burn between 400 and 600 calories daily, depending on how much your baby eats. Focus on eating fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fish, and don't shy away from good fats like nuts and avocados. Sometimes the best and easiest way to stimulate more milk supply is to feed you baby more frequently. Rather than every 2.5 to 3 hours (the recommended length of time between feelings) try every hour or hour and a half. If nothing else seems to be working, your baby can get the nutrients he or she needs in formula. Breastfeeding can be wonderful and healthy for both the mother in baby in the right conditions, but it doesn’t always work for everyone.

Even though telemarketers are supposed to reveal their phone numbers, many don't Blocking unknown calls is a good way to screen out the callers you don't want to hear from. If you're using an iPhone or Android, there are apps that automatically block calls from hidden numbers.  Blacklist call is the fastest and most intuitive app for Androids to automatically block SPAM calls from annoying telemarketers. Call Control is the most popular app for Androids to block telemarketers. Call Bliss is the most popular app for iPhones to block calls from unknown numbers. Androids and iPhones both have settings that allow you to only get calls from the people you want. The drawback is that if an organization or person you actually want to hear from has an unknown number, you won't get the call. If you get an inordinate number of unknown calls from spammers every day, this might be a good option.  You can set your Android to Privacy Mode so you only get calls from people you preapprove from your contacts list. Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone. You can silence calls from everyone except for those selected from your contacts list. Call trapping services are paid services that force the caller to show the number from which they're calling. TrapCall is the most popular service, and works with iPhone and Android (but not landlines). Your phone company provides a range of call blocking and screening services. These types of services come with a monthly fee. Call your phone company to see what options are available to you. Services such as Call Screen, Priority Ringing and Call Return are ordinarily available in most states.  Call Screen can be set up to block calls from specific numbers by sending that caller to a pre-recorded message telling them that you will not take their call. Priority ringing allows you to set up special ring tones for individual numbers so you know without looking at your phone if you want to answer it.

Even though the razor has a wood or plastic handle, you don’t hold it. Instead, place your thumb under the blade on the shank (the piece of metal connecting to the handle). Your index, ring, and middle fingers go on the opposite side of the shank. Finally, place your pinky on the tang, which is the small piece of metal on the outside of the handle. This is the basic grip, and many people adjust it over time for greater comfort or directional control. The blade should not be flat against your skin or directly pointed at it. Instead, turn it slightly so the sharp part of the blade points downward at your skin. The handle should be out near your nose.

Even though there’s not much current running through it, the doorbell is an electrical appliance. Find the switch indicating the doorbell unit on your home’s circuit breaker and flip it to the “off” position. This will stop the flow of electricity and allow you to work safely.  Attempting to remove or modify your doorbell without first making sure that the electricity is off could result in a nasty shock. If your circuit breaker isn't clearly labelled or you want to confirm that the power is off for safety's sake, press the doorbell button. If it rings, it means there's still current flowing to it. Locate the interior doorbell unit. This is the small, speaker-like box that emits sound when the doorbell button is pressed. Once you’ve found it, unscrew the outer cover and set it aside. Some covers may not be secured with screws—these will simply pop off when enough pressure is applied.  Most doorbell units are situated in the hallway or foyer close to the front entrance.  If you’ve never replaced your doorbell before and you’re unsure where it is, have someone press the button and listen for where the sound is coming from. With the inner workings exposed, you should see 2 or 3 colored wires running to separate terminals in the center of the unit. Loosen the screws holding these wires in place and pull them free from the terminals. Pay close attention to the internal layout of the unit so you’ll remember how it needs to be configured.  It’s a good idea to tag the wires or mark the terminals with the corresponding color to help you remember what goes where. If you don't want to go to all that trouble, simply take a snapshot with your phone.  Typically, there will be 1 wire for the front doorbell and 1 for the transformer, with an additional wire if you have a separate doorbell for the back door. When the doorbell is pressed, a small current is directed from the button to the box unit, activating a series of chimes. Unscrew the old unit and lift it away from its base, maneuvering it around the wiring carefully....

Even though they’re less temperamental than other types of paint, acrylics can still be ruined with inappropriate materials and techniques. Before you employ DIY cleaning methods, understand that tampering with a painting may ultimately lower its value.  Consider having valuable works cleaned professionally by a qualified art restorer. Though it will cost more, you’ll be able to rest assured that the painting is receiving proper treatment. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive tools to clean a painting. This includes traditional substances such as mineral spirits and turpentine as well as commercial cleaners. Fill a sink or bucket with clean, warm water. Add a few drops of a non-astringent liquid dish detergent and stir the mixture by hand until it forms a mild solution. You can use this solution to spot-clean cured acrylic paintings. The detergent will help emulsify dirt and grime to lift them from the surface of the paint while the water flushes them away. For best results, use a cloth made from a soft material like cotton or microfiber. Saturate the cloth with the soap solution, then wring out as much excess water as possible. If you’re using a sponge, give it a good shake before you begin. It should just barely be damp.  Make sure there’s no heavy soap residue on the cleaning cloth. Some types of acrylic paint are water-soluble. If there is too much moisture in the cloth, it may begin to dissolve the paint, creating a blotchy, fuzzy appearance. Go over the painting with long, smooth strokes from top to bottom and from side to side. Clear away as much accumulate grime as you can. Don’t scrub or apply too much pressure, as this is practically guaranteed to strip the paint off. If necessary, make multiple passes, allowing the surface of the painting to dry between each attempt.  Fold the cloth a few times to create a wider surface area. This will help distribute the moisture more evenly over the paint and help you avoid pressure smudges. Test the soap solution on a corner or another out-of-the-way area to...

Even though you are participating in a business transaction, there's nothing wrong with befriending the person you will be selling to. Making a customer welcome will give them comfort in purchasing what you have to offer to them.   Smile with your eyes. The human subconscious can easily detect a fake smile from a real one. How? Real smiles activate the eyes, whereas fake smiles don't. Be careful about maintaining too much eye contact. Researchers at Harvard University have found that salespeople who maintain eye gazes actually may discourage would-be buyers. The theory here is that eye-contact signifies dominance — not something that makes you want to buy. Spend as long as necessary qualifying a customer so that you sell them what they need. There's nothing worse than selling a product or service that the customer is later dissatisfied with. The best and most commonly used question in qualifying is, "What will you be using this for?" Continue to ask questions to narrow down the search for what the customer really wants. This shows a willingness to learn and a legitimate interest in the needs of the customer. It is important to understand how all of the products and services you have to offer work. By understanding this, you'll be able to offer the one that best fits your customer's needs. Be sure to offer as many relevant products or services that you have to enhance customer satisfaction.  Many successful restaurants allow servers to sample each item in the menu — free of charge — in order to develop a feel for what they are selling. That way, they can combine expertise and experience in their sales pitch when a diner asks "What do you recommend?" Make it your job to test many, if not all, of the items you are selling. Customers can smell amateurism and disinterest from a mile away. Even if the item(s) you're offering don't come discounted or free of charge, make it part of your job to test them out. Buying signals can be both verbal and non-verbal. Questions like, "How may this benefit me?" or "What product...

Even though your nails are short, you still need to file them to give them an even shape and a smooth finish. Try to give them a rounded shape, rather than filing straight across. Apply a rich hand cream, then apply cuticle oil to the cuticles and all around the edges of your nails. Give the moisturizer and the oil a few minutes to sink in. Soak your hands in warm soapy water for five minutes-- this will help your nails to absorb the cuticle oil. Soak one hand at a time if you want the other one free to drink your coffee or flip through a magazine! Take your hands out of the water and pat dry with a clean towel. Buff your nails using a nail buffer -- this will ensure that they are completely dry, which will help the polish to stick better. Use a cuticle stick to push back your cuticles. This will make your nails appear longer and your manicure look neater.  You should never cut your cuticles -- they are necessary to protect your nails from infection. You can also use the cuticle stick to clean out any dirt from around and under your nails.

Even when learning the steps for an individual marcher, it's best to become acquainted with the basic marching information that the entire squad will be expected to know. This will help you with both your individual marching steps and with a group formation.  Any movements that you execute from the Halt command should be initiated with the Position of Attention. All marching movements except Route Step March and At Ease March are executed while marching at Attention. Marching at Attention combines the Position of Attention with the prescribed marching steps, performed simultaneously. If performing steps executed from the Halt, every movement except Right Step begins on your left foot. One step is considered the distance from one of your heels to the other. All marching steps are carried out in Quick Time, meaning 120 steps per minute. The only exception is the 30-inch step, which you may be commanded to carry out in 180 steps per minute if given the command, "Double Time, MARCH." If you are performing the 30-inch step from a Halt, you will be given the command, "Forward, MARCH." It is a two-part movement. When given the command, "Forward," shift your weight slightly to the right foot. On the "MARCH" command, step forward 30 inches, leading with your left foot. Continue to take 30-inch steps forward, alternating feet depending on which step you are on.  Do not bend your elbows, and do not exaggerate your movements. Let your arms swing in a natural motion. Aim for approximately nine inches ahead of you and six inches behind you as you swing your arms. Keep your eyes and head facing forward. Make sure your fingers remain curled, as in the Position of Attention. Before you are about to receive the Halt command, you will be given the preparatory command, either "Squad" or "Platoon," while one of your feet strikes the ground. The final command, "Halt," will be given the next time that foot strikes the ground.  Bring your trailing foot alongside your lead foot. Assume the Position of Attention. Cease any further...

Even when you’re wearing sunscreen, you’ll still be exposed to the sun’s powerful rays. Staying in the shade or using a sun umbrella will help protect you from sun damage. Avoid “peak hours.” The sun is highest between 10AM and 2 PM. If you can, avoid sun exposure during this time. Seek shade if you’re out and about during this time. Not all clothing is created equal. However, long-sleeved shirts and long pants can help protect your skin from sun damage. Wear a hat to offer your face extra shade and protect your scalp.  Look for tightly-woven fabric and dark colors, which offer the most protection. For people who are very active outdoors, there is special clothing with built-in sun-protection, available at specialty stores or online. Remember those sunglasses! The sun’s UV rays can cause cataracts, so purchase a pair that block UVB and UVA rays. Sun exposure, especially during the “peak” hours of 10 AM to 2 PM, is especially harmful to young children. Look for sunscreens specifically made for children and babies. Consult with your pediatrician to determine what is safe for your child.  Infants under the age of 6 months should not wear sunscreen or be exposed to direct sunlight. Young babies’ skin is not mature yet, so they may absorb more of the chemicals in sunscreen. If you must take young infants outside, keep them in the shade.  If your baby is older than 6 months, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Be careful when applying sunscreen near the eyes.  Dress young children in sun-protective clothing, such as hats, long-sleeved sun shirts or lightweight long pants.  Get your child sunglasses with UV protection.

Even with an innovative idea, a solid pitch, and a well-executed prototype, you may end up falling short. Prepare yourself for unexpected pitfalls by creating multiple plans based around different levels of funding. If one model doesn’t convince the investor, you’ll still have another less expensive option on standby to secure partial funding.  Downsizing your original plan could mean starting off with a smaller operations team or removing costly extra features from an early version of your product. Proceeding with less seed money may cause your business to grow slower than expected, but it doesn’t mean that it’s dead in the water. Make it a point to offer regular updates on the status of your venture. The first few months of any startup are critical, and it’s important to make sure that you and your investors are on the same page. Since it’s their money that’s making the startup possible, they deserve to know how things are shaping up.  This could involve creating a monthly mailing list documenting your progress as you approach your launch date, or sending out a notice whenever you make a new hire to your development team.  Reports that your venture is going well could even serve to attract new investors who want a piece of the action. There's no need to cut ties with your investors once you've gotten your startup off the ground. As your business gains momentum, you can begin appealing for support based on its potential for expansion. With each subsequent phase of funding, you'll be able to acquire more of the resources you need to pave the way for future success. After the early seed round, your plan will move into "Series A" funding. Here, you'll use the funds you receive to refine your product or operations, develop key procedures, and market yourself to begin building a customer base.

Even with the help of teachers and staff, your child might still face bullying from other cliques later on, or if they move to a new school. However, with a little instruction, your kid can become a pro at handling these situations. Start by teaching your child some simple anger management practices, such as:  Stopping as soon as they feel angry.  One option is using a “stop” motion when they begin feeling angry. You and your child can brainstorm to come up with a stop motion that works for them. Feeling stumped? One idea is placing their hand directly in front of their face with the fingers pointed up. Have them push the hand straight out in front of them. This simple motion can help your child focus their energy on stopping angry feelings. Giving themselves space to think.  This might mean leaving the space where they feel they are being threatened or bullied by the clique. Breathing deeply.  Encourage your child to close their eyes once they are in a safe space.  They should breathe in through their nose for three seconds, then out through their mouth for five seconds. In, out, in out. Have them continue for as long as they need to. Analyzing the situation.  Your child should think back to their experience with the clique.  Tell your child, “Look at the situation as you would if you were a spectator.  Be sure that you did not cause the conflict.” Talking with someone you trust. Talking things through with someone can help them to get some perspective and feedback. Talking through problems is super important for conflict resolution, so make sure your child starts a dialogue with the clique. It may prompt clique members to ease up on their nasty behavior.  Help your child express themselves to the clique in a way that makes the members listen. If they shut down, resolution is a no-go. Instead of using blaming language and “you” statements (in the form of, “You are rotten”), instruct your child to use “I” statements (in the form of “I don’t like being pushed”). Encourage your child to focus on the behavior,...

Every Internet-connected item in your home cuts down on the available Internet speed, especially if the items in question are actively being used. Turn off things like consoles, smartphones, tablets, and smart home items when you can in order to increase the amount of speed available to you. You can also place some items, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, in Airplane Mode to restrict their Internet usage. If you're downloading a large file or streaming a movie on your computer while trying to use the Internet on a different platform, you'll invariably encounter some slow-down. Close streaming programs and pause any active downloads when you're trying to get the most out of your Internet. If you have a router which supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, try using the 5GHz band to avoid interference from neighboring Internet connections. You can usually find the 5 GHz Internet connection in the Wi-Fi menu of your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other Internet-connected item. The appearance of a 5 GHz channel's name will vary depending on your router's manufacturer, but you'll usually see "Media", "5", "5.0", or something similar next to the connection's name. . When all else fails, connecting your computer directly to your router (or modem) via an Ethernet cable is a guaranteed way to speed up your Internet by eliminating some of the hiccups which accompany wireless connections.  This isn't an option on a smartphone or a tablet. If you're using a Windows or Mac computer that doesn't have an Ethernet port, you can buy a USB 3.0 (or USB-C for Mac) Ethernet adapter which can plug into one of your computer's available ports.

Every author who sits down to write something – be it a work of non-fiction, a poem, or a work of fiction – has a reason for doing so. They have information they want to convey to you, or a story they want to tell. Sometimes the author's true purpose is obscured within the writing itself. For example, fiction writers may use an allegory or satire to make a political point or say something about society. Understanding who the author was and the time period when they were writing can help you better analyze the text and place it in context with other works.  The author's background can be important in evaluating your own reaction to the work. For example, historical attitudes about gender, sexuality, and religion may seem strange or even offensive to modern-day readers. As part of your research into the author's background, you should also try to find out what other authors they were associated with. You may want to read some of the work of those other authors to better understand how your author's style developed and evolved. Different pieces of writing often borrow ideas, images, and themes from other works that came before. If you're reading something written more recently, you may find connections to films or television shows as well.  Think about the purpose behind those connections. Consider whether the connection was intentionally made by the author, or was just circumstantial. Sometimes authors connect to pre-existing works as a short-cut to build a particular mood or image in the reader's mind. For example, if you're reading a short story about a mad scientist who is designing a theme park, one of the characters might mention Jurassic Park. Assuming you're familiar with Jurassic Park, you already have a fully formed image in your head that the author didn't have to create from scratch. A text that is a candidate for close reading typically is one that speaks to a particular aspect of existence and of the human condition. After you've gone deep into the text itself, bring it back out into the world and...

Every county has slightly different requirements, so conduct research to find out exactly what qualifications you must have to run for sheriff. Here are a few common requirements you'll need to fill, in addition to your work experience and educational requirements, before the deadline to file your paperwork to run for judge:   Pass a written examination that covers reasoning, writing skills, and job-specific questions (look for sample tests and study guides online). Undergo an interview during which you'll be tested on your communication, problem solving and critical thinking skills, as well as your motivations for wanting to be sheriff. Pass a background check. You'll be disqualified if you're on probation, have felony convictions, substance abuse issues, bad credit history, and serious traffic violations. Pass a physical fitness exam that tests physical stamina as well as proficiency in handling firearms. Before the deadline specified by your county, file paperwork to have your name put on the ballot for sheriff. You can do this by visiting your county courthouse and following the proper procedure for filing there. Make sure you've already met all of the requirements before you file the paperwork. While the sheriff is appointed in some counties, he or she is elected in most jurisdictions. If you want to be elected to sheriff, you'll need to spread the word that you're running and highlight your experience and fitness for the role. Set a goal to reach every registered voter in the county. Campaigning is no easy job, since others will be running against you, so pull out all the stops to win now that you've worked so hard to meet all the necessary qualifications.  Assemble a campaign committee instead of trying to campaign all by yourself. A campaign committee can help you raise funds, set up media interviews, pass out fliers, and increase awareness that you're running for sheriff. Make a stand on a serious topic in your area and educate the voters on your point of view. Figure out what sets you apart from the...

Every game of bingo has just one winner. Fewer players means that each player has a greater chance of winning. Try attending bingo games on weeknights when the crowds tend to be smaller.  This applies to online bingo too! Some bingo prize pots are based off the number of cards purchased, so although a small group of players increases your chances of winning, it may mean a smaller prize. The more cards (or in some cases, cards) you have, the better your chances are of winning. This is true for in-person bingo, as well as online. However, this only holds up if you are able to truly check the numbers on all of your cards effectively. Start with no more than 4 cards. If you feel you’ve gotten the hang of 4 cards, try adding 1 card at a time.  In a game with 20 players where everyone has 1 card, every player has a 5% chance of winning. In a game with 20 players where everyone has 1 card, but you have 4 cards, your chances of winning are 17%. According to concepts of mathematical probability, there should be a uniform pattern in the way the balls are drawn. This means that the longer you stay in the game, the higher the likelihood becomes that your balls will be drawn. If you are working with a set budget, it might be a better strategy for you to play fewer cards in more games. This strategy only works in the classic “wheel-of-balls” version of the game. In most bingo games, there are five ways to win: five in a row, blackout, X, and 4 corners. However, many bingo halls also have “special pattern” games to keep things interesting. For these special pattern games, mark your cards with a highlighter to help you remember which squares can win. The Tippett theory suggests that more numbers that are called in a wheel-of-balls bingo game, the more those numbers will gravitate towards the middle. If you can, look for bingo cards with more numbers toward the median.  In a game that goes from  1-99, the median would be 45. The Tippett theory has never been proven. This theory was designed in terms of the classic...

Every loan falls into one of these two categories. Make sure you know which applies to yours:  A fixed-rate loan has an unchanging interest rate. The monthly payment amount for these will never change, as long as you pay them on time. An adjustable-rate loan periodically adjusts its interest rate to match the current standard, so you could end up owing more or less money if the interest rate changes. Interest rates are only recalculated during the "adjustment periods" specified on your loan term. If you find out what the current interest rate is a few months before the next adjustment period happens, you can plan ahead. Amortization refers to the rate at which the initial amount borrowed (the "principal") is reduced. There are two common types of loan payment schedules:   Fully amortized loan payments are calculated so you can pay the exact same amount each month for the entire duration of the loan, paying off the principal and the interest with each payment. The calculators and formulas above all assume you want this kind of schedule.  Interest only loan payment plans give you cheaper initial payments during the specified "interest only" period, because you are only paying off the interest, not the initial "principal" you borrowed. After the interest only period runs out, your monthly payments will jump to a significantly higher amount, because you'll start paying off the principal as well as the interest. This will cost you more money in the long run. Adding an extra payment will reduce the total amount of money the loan will cost you in the long term, since there is less money for interest to accumulate on. The earlier you do this, the more money you will save. On the other side of the coin, paying less than the monthly payment you calculated above will result in more total money spent over the long term. Also note that some loans have a minimum required monthly payment, and you could be charged additional fees if you fail to meet this.

Every person has a couple outfits that make them feel better than anything else in their wardrobe; there’s outfits that make them smile bigger and walk taller than any others. Pick one of these to wear when you’re going to talk to the boy you like. If he can’t take his eyes off of you, chances are he’s interested. If your number one choice of outfit is your prom dress—go with number two. Keep your outfit appropriate for the occasion. He’ll likely be distracted if you’re wearing an outlandish outfit. If you’ve outgrown your favorite outfit, that’s ok. Go out and buy a new one, or pick something else from your closet. You want to be as comfortable as possible, while still looking good. This way, you aren’t fidgeting with your clothes while you talk to him; you’ll come off as nervous and make him uncomfortable.

Every person has different hair, and it often needs to be treated and taken care of in different ways. Learn what type of hair you have in order to take care of it in the best way possible. Go a few days with natural hair, not using any products, and observe what your hair tendencies are. You may discover that your hair is:   Oily Dry Normal Wavy Straight Curly Thick Fine  Once you have figured out your hair type, always treat your hair in accordance with that. Your hair will likely react differently than a friend's hair to certain products and care. Many people believe that they need to wash their hair daily, but in truth most hair types only need to wash their hair every other day or a few times a week. Depending on your hair type, wash your hair when it's dirty, not just out of habit.   If you have dry hair, you should only wash it every third day If your hair is more oil prone, try washing it every other day, but if it looks really oily after just one day you can wash it every day If you have normal hair (not super dry and not super oily) you should wash your hair ever other day or every three days There is no perfect formula for how much you should wash your hair. Just monitor your hair and wash it when you feel it's getting dirty. Washing it too much will prevent the natural oils from restoring in your hair, which can damage your hair. Hot water can actually strip your hair of protective oils that serve as a natural conditioner. By washing hair with lukewarm water you will prevent losing any natural shine from you hair and will avoid dull hair. After you get out of the shower it can be tempting to run a brush through your hair, because it's a fast way to get rid of tangles. However, a wide-tooth comb is the best way to remove any knots post showering. A brush often snags and pulls your hair, causing it to break and become damaged, so use a comb and start at the bottom of your hair, working your way up. Blow dryers are a fast way to dry your hair, but the heat from the dryer can damage your hair...

Every poem has a purpose. Maybe that purpose is to express a certain emotion or to sing the praises of a place or person. Focusing on your emotions can help you choose a topic because writing about something you are passionate about is always a good place to start. Some issues or situations are too broad to encompass the entire thing in one poem. Think about your topic and decide if it's narrow enough to write about. For example, maybe you want to write about your experience being a parent. But it would be a very difficult feat to write about the entire experience of parenthood. Perhaps you could focus your energies on writing about one aspect of this situation such as becoming a parent for the first time, or your frustration with your child's sleeping pattern, or the pride you feel when your child learns something new. Narrowing your focus will help you get your point across more effectively. Once you have decided on your topic and narrowed it down, you can think about what you want your poem to express. Your message is the thing that a person who reads your poem will walk away remembering. Maybe you want to express the universality of a certain emotion or to tell your reader that they are not alone in their experiences. Whatever your message, make sure it's clear in your mind before you start writing so that it will be clear in your poem.

Every severance package is different, but almost all contain some kind of severance pay. Some severance packages may pay a terminated employee a lump sum, for instance, whereas others may pay out a sum over time in several payments. Make sure you understand how your severance pay will be distributed to you.  Find out if your severance pay includes any unused paid time off, such as paid vacation or sick days or holidays—some severances may take these into consideration, and if not, it can't hurt to ask. Find out whether the agreement asks you to waive any claim for unemployment compensation benefits. When you are terminated from a job and offered a severance package, there may be insurance benefits available to you in addition to any severance pay. Insurance benefits received as part of a severance package may include group life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, or vision insurance. These items may not be included in a severance package (although they sometimes are), but again, it can't hurt to ask.  If no insurance benefits are offered to you as part of your severance package, at the very least you may continue your coverage for up to 18 months at your own expense through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), provided the company from which you are being let go has at least 20 employees. Insurance under COBRA is priced at the full cost the employer paid, to be paid by former employee. This can be very expensive. If you decide not to continue your employer-based coverage through COBRA, you can enroll in a plan through the federal Marketplace via a special enrollment period. Your severance agreement may contain other details that you need to be aware of, such as what information you can or cannot share with another employer. These kinds of details may be the difference between whether you want to agree to the terms of the severance package or not. Review the agreement in as much detail as you can before accepting to make sure you are comfortable with the terms. It might be...

Every state has different laws and different levels they allow, from 30 ppm as the maximum to 100 ppm as the maximum. It’s essential you know what you are testing for, depending on your location. In the right amounts, cyanuric acid protects the chlorine in a pool from ultraviolet sunlight, thereby reducing the amount of chlorine lost over time. As a result, the pool stays disinfected longer and more effectively. In high amounts, however, cyanuric acid can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine as a disinfectant. Bacteria can build up in the water when this happens and create a health risk. Many pool owners unknowingly add cyanuric acid to their pools because of the kind of chlorine they are adding. When buying chlorine for your pool, choose sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione (“dichlor”) or trichloro-s-triazinetrione (“trichlor”). Once a week, set a time that you check for cyanuric acid levels. If you have concerns that your cyanuric acid levels aren’t under control, test more often.

Every story has its focus and it will generally be on the main character or protagonist. This character will be the link into the world of your ghost story, giving your readers a direct vantage point to relate to within the story. Think about the qualities, motivations, history, and other details about your main character.  Try to think of why your character is in the situation they are. Imagine how your character would react to the events in your story. Try to get a clear mental picture of what your character looks like. The antagonist in a story is most easily understood to be the “bad guy”.  This character will be the one who comes in conflict with your protagonist or hero. In this case, your antagonist will likely be your ghost. Think about some of the following aspects that ghosts in horror stories usually have:  Your ghost will need a reason or motive for existing and doing what they do. Ghosts come in different forms, being more or less physical or having different powers. Other characters in your story should be there to give the reader further insight into either the main character or the antagonist. These characters are called foils and although they have their own motivations and structure they are often used to punctuate aspects of main characters.  Foils usually have different personalities than the main characters in order to highlight the individual characteristics. Your supporting characters should also have their own unique qualities and personalities. Ask yourself what relationships these characters might have with the main characters of your ghost story.

Every style of music has its own idiosyncrasies and stereotypes that are easy to make fun of. Pop music is repetitive and silly; metal is loud and angry; country musicians only sing about ex-girlfriends and trucks. Remember your target audience too; it won't make any sense to parody a classic rock song if none of your audience is old enough to remember AC/DC or Queen. A genre parody will require different resources than a song parody. Since you're making fun of a style of music instead of a single song, you will be able to use any instrumental track in that genre and it won't have to be well known or recognizable. Check online for databases of instrumental tracks. Some are free, while others you'll have to pay for. If you're a musician, record or make the track yourself. If you make the track, you'll have a little more creative control over your parody. You'll be able to ham up silly elements of a genre, like long breakdowns or over-the-top synthesizer choruses. There are many things about music genres that make them irritating or fun to parody. Subject matter of songs, attitudes of performers or aspects of the music itself can be parodied.  Make fun of the subject matter. Flight of the Concords and The Lonely Islands are two bands that love to parody stupid or silly lyrics and subject matter: check out their parodies for some examples. The more vapid, meaningless or over-the-top the subjects and lyrics of your chosen genre, the easier they will be to make fun of. Parody the attitudes and actions of the genre's performers. Acts like Dethklok, The Rutles and Spinal Tap are great examples of this. All poke fun at the way that their genre's performers sing, act and view the world. The Rutles, for example, performed in a feature called "All You Need is Cash," making fun of the Beatles commercialization. Dethklok parodies metal musicians hyper masculinity, violence and anger in the show Metalocalypse. Note that these more elaborate parodies often involve dressing and acting like the musicians, so they will be more...

Every team needs goals, and company morale will suffer if your team doesn’t know what it should be doing. However, new managers are often unclear themselves about what their goals should be. You need to speak to your superiors in the company. Ask how your team fits into the organization as a whole. Successful teams should have a lot of work, and team members might not understand which tasks to complete first. As the manager, you can see the bigger picture. Go ahead and direct your team members as to which tasks they should complete first. Convey this information orally and in email for maximum effectiveness. Most new managers find it hard to delegate because they don’t yet trust the members of their team. However, you’ll quickly burn out if you don’t delegate. The best way to go about delegating tasks? Start small. Give your team members minute tasks and see who does the best job. Keep going back to those who can deliver excellent results. You don’t need to appear invulnerable. This might be hard to accept at first, especially if you aren’t feeling secure in your position as manager. Nevertheless, your team will learn it’s okay to admit when they are wrong and to ask for help. exceptional performance. There are many types of rewards—money is only one (though usually appreciated). The reward should be on par with the exceptional performance. However, you’ll need to see what works best for your employees.

Rewarding exceptional performance in staff meetings by complimenting someone who put in outstanding effort. However, some employees dislike being recognized in person, so pay attention to how they respond to know what to do and avoid in the future.

Every time you find yourself wishing you weren’t so tall, think of three things you like about your height instead. As you replace your negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start feeling better about being tall. For example, maybe being tall gives you an advantage when you play sports, or maybe you’d like to explore modeling as a career in the future. If you like basketball or volleyball, your height will give you an edge. Rock climbing, high jumping, and dance are a few other sports that tall people often excel at. If sports aren’t your thing, find everyday reasons to appreciate your height, such as reaching things on high shelves. Your height comes with some major lifelong benefits. On average, tall people make more money than their shorter counterparts. They tend to be happier, and they may even be more intelligent. Tall women also tend to command more respect than shorter women. Daily affirmations can have a big boost on your confidence. At least once a day, say something that you enjoy about your height. You can repeat this in the mirror or write it down in a journal. Create a positive body image for yourself by admiring your own height. You might say something like, "What nice legs I have" or "I think I rock this skirt."

Every time you log in to your blog, the design of it ideally should motivate you to write. For some people, a simple write background, mimicking a blank page, sets the heart aflutter. For others, an intricate houndstooth pattern does the trick. How do you want your blog to look? Choose a simple background over a loud and in-your-face one, although do what pleases you most. Here are some ideas for simple backgrounds you can mull over: A photograph of you and your family on vacation A simple, unobtrusive pattern that provides texture but doesn't take away from the words A map of picture of a map A writing object, such as a fountain pen, typewriter, or ream of paper A simple background in your favorite color If you want your blog to be personal and de-indexed from search results, so that only you see it, check this option. In many blogs, there is also an option which allows you to keep your blog entirely private, where a password is required to access it. Look for this option if you want your blog to be truly secret. If you make categories into which you place your blog posts, try ordering the categories by popularity. Why put the blog post you visit least right up there at the top, and the blog post you visit most near the bottom? Design with simple navigation in mind. Reduce the clutter. Just because you have the option of creating dozens of plugins and widgets doesn't mean you need to use them. If this blog is indeed about you and your thoughts, make them stand out instead of extraneous stuff. In many public blogs, your first post is a short explanation of who you are (some secrets are kept) and why you decided to blog. It's an online introduction of sorts. Because you're building a personal blog, however, you need not be so formal in your first post.  Write about what motivated you to start a blog. It may help to put things into writing.

Every time you tap your brakes, the cars behind you will do the same. This can cause a ripple effect for miles down the road. Try to keep a gap between you and the car ahead of you. If another car slows down or tries to merge, you should have enough room to slow down without braking suddenly. Keep at least two or three seconds between you and the car in front of you. This means that it should take you two or three seconds at your current speed to reach the other car. Try to stay at the speed limit, or go at the speed of traffic. If you need to slow down, take your foot off the gas, and do not brake unless you need to. In many cases, if you keep a gap between cars, you may be able to slow down without braking.  When there's an accident or a breakdown on the side of the road, do not slow down to look. Instead, keep going at the rate of traffic.  Cruise control can help you maintain a steady speed on the highway. The more you change lanes, the more other cars may have to slow down to accommodate you. While you may sometimes need to move over, try changing lanes only when necessary. By letting cars in the merge lane come into your lane, you’re helping the flow of traffic. If you see cars trying to merge, allow a gap between you and the car ahead of you so that they have room to enter. Stay alert by scanning ahead as far as you can. Remain aware of what is happening around you. Watch for road hazards, accidents, bottlenecks, or other problems along the road. Many highways have signs that will alert you of delays or traffic jams. You can either prepare to slow down or find an alternate route. Do not text, read the news, check your social media page, or take your eyes off of traffic, even if traffic has stopped dead. Always watch what is happening in front of you. You never know when traffic will start moving again. If you are bored, turn on music or try a podcast. If your car begins to break down, move to the slow lane, slow down, and pull over as soon as it's safe to do so. Turn on your hazard lights, and use your...

Every two weeks to a month, you’ll need to deep-clean your rabbit’s cage. You’ll likely need more supplies than you used in your daily and weekly maintenance. Having the following supplies on hand can help speed up the process:  Sponge Disinfectant or a mixture of four parts water to one part vinegar Paper towels Trash bag New litter and bedding New toys Broom and dustpan Vacuum. Take your rabbit out of the cage and put it in a safe place while you clean. This can allow you to safely deep-clean the cage without traumatizing your rabbit or exposing it to harmful fumes or chemicals.  Allow your rabbit to hop freely through your home if it uses the cage only as a home base. If not, make sure your rabbit is in an area that is secured from other animals or potential escape. You can also put your rabbit in a different cage or your bathtub. Just make sure the drain is covered. Avoid letting your rabbit roam outside, which can expose it to harm from other animals. Give your rabbit leafy greens or food pellets while you clean. Make sure it has a toy like an old phonebook or chew toy to satisfy natural urges to dig and chew. It’s very important to your rabbit’s health and happiness to deep-clean your rabbit’s cage at least once a month and more often if necessary. This requires cleaning the interior and exterior of the cage, from the walls and floor to the litter pan and toys. Removing every item in the cage before you start can help you clean more effectively.  Have your trash bag ready and throw away leftover food, litter, newspaper, or other bedding. Empty the water bottle into a sink. Set aside anything you are going to keep such as toys, blankets, food dishes and the litter box until you are ready to individually clean these items. A mixture of vinegar and water is the safest disinfectant for your rabbit as commercial chemicals can be toxic. Using either the vinegar mixture or another disinfectant, wipe down each of the habitat’s walls as well as the floor and ceiling until the cage is clean.  Scrub any stains...

If you are given a vector that is placed away from the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system, you must define the components of both points of the vector.  For example, the vector AB has an ordered pair for point A and point B. Point A has a horizontal component of 5 and a vertical component of 1, so the ordered pair is <5, 1>. Point B has a horizontal component of 1 and a vertical component of 2, so the ordered pair is <1, 2>. Because you now have two points you are dealing with, you must subtract the x and y components of each point before you solve using the equation v = √((x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2). Point A is ordered pair 1 <x1, y1> and point B is ordered pair 2 <x2, y2> Plug in the numbers of your ordered pairs and calculate the magnitude. Using our above example the calculation looks like this:  v = √((x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2) v = √((1-5)2 +(2-1)2) v = √((-4)2 +(1)2) v = √(16+1) = √(17) = 4.12 Don't worry if your answer is not a whole number. Vector magnitudes can be decimals.

Every woman’s foot is a little different. You may find a pair of shoes in your size, but that does not mean it will fit your feet correctly. No matter how perfect a shoe looks, if it does not fit your foot well, it will not work. You will be on your feet the majority of the day, from your first step down the aisle to the moment you make your getaway at the end of the reception. Flat shoes may feel more comfortable on your foot than heels, especially if you are unaccustomed to wearing heels for prolonged periods of time. While platform heels can be a little difficult to find in bridal shoes, the extra width may offer your foot the right support it needs to keep you standing steady and strong throughout the entire affair. If you do opt for heels, make sure you go for a heel height that you feel confident about walking in. Now is not the time to experiment with three-inch heels if the highest you have ever worn is only an inch. Stick with a height you feel familiar and comfortable with to avoid any wedding day mishaps. Slender heels do not work well in grass, stones, sand, soil, or other unsteady terrains. If you know your foot will never leave the pavement, however, you can still opt for a slender heel. If you fall in love with a perfect pair of heels but would rather dance at your reception in flats, consider getting both. Swap out your fancy shoes after the ceremony and switch into something more comfortable for the reception. Just make sure your dress can account for the difference in heel height. The last thing you want is to trip over your gown as you head out for the dance floor. This breaks your shoes in, allowing them the chance to adjust to your feet. Moreover, doing this also gives you a good idea about how long you can last in your shoes. Wear them around the house, but avoid taking them outside where they can get dirty. If you decide to take dancing lessons before your wedding, wear them there, as well. Stock up on gel pads, bandages, and other foot care necessities. Look for products designed for...

Everybody dreams--usually multiple dreams per night. However, it is very difficult to remember all these dreams. If a dream wakes you up, write that down immediately in a dream journal that you keep next to your bed. If you go back to sleep before writing it down, chances are that you will forget it ever happened. You can only interpret your dreams if you can remember them in as much detail as possible. Keep a journal, working pen, and soft lamp next to your bed to make it easier to write dreams down in the middle of the night. Never skip a morning in your journal. Even when you do not remember your dreams, note that in your journal. You will soon train your brain to remember your dreams simply by reinforcing the journaling process. It is best for you to write your dreams down immediately after waking up to make sure that your conscious mind does not rewrite or alter the plot of the dream. Any dream you hope to interpret should be written down. This helps you recall your dreams in the short-term and the long-term. Be sure that you write down every detail you remember as well as your emotional state upon waking. Details to write down include:  People you met in the dream How you felt at each stage in the dream The setting of the dream Your physical manifestation in the dream--what did you look like? What were you wearing? The plot of the dream Your mode of transportation in the dream The origin and destination of your dream journey The motivation for your dream journey If you dream about journeys often, you might begin to see common themes and patterns emerging over time. By recording your dreams, you will be able to determine these recurring patterns more clearly and accurately, allowing you to better understand your own dreams. Reread your dream journal to determine whether journeying is a common theme in your dreams, which could be significant. Pay attention to subtle changes in your dreams over time. They might tell you whether you are growing and changing in important ways.

Everybody knows that calcium helps to build strong bones, but many people don’t realize that osteoporosis, or bone loss, often shows up first in the feet. No matter your age, your body and feet need between 1,000 and 1,300 mg of calcium per day to stay strong and healthy. Good dietary sources of calcium include:  Dark green vegetables, such as collards, kale, spinach, bok choy and broccoli Edamame, soybeans, and white beans Figs and oranges Sardines and salmon Almonds Vitamin D is another necessary daily nutrient, in part because it helps our bodies absorb the calcium we need for strong bones and healthy feet. On a daily basis, we need between 400 IU to 1,000 IU of vitamin D. The main source of vitamin D is sunlight, but there are also dietary sources, including:  Mushrooms Fortified orange juice, almond milk, tofu, breakfast cereal, and oatmeal Liver Mackerel and canned tuna Regular exercise will keep your entire body functioning properly, including your feet. Workout your body three to five times per week, for at least half an hour, with activities like running or jogging, cycling, swimming, walking, dancing, weight lifting, and hiking. Moderate exercise will also help prevent and manage osteoporosis by promoting bone health. Your feet are meant to evenly bear the weight of your entire body, but if you are unbalanced and don’t spread your weight evenly, this can cause problems for your feet, legs, hips, and back. Balance promoting exercises include:  Yoga Tai chi Qigong The Feldenkrais Method This will keep your toes and feet active and healthy. Start with a couple of minutes each day and work your way to five or 10 minutes. To work out your feet and toes, start by removing your shoes and socks. Then: Place your foot flat on the floor, or sit down with your legs in front of you. Work on lifting each toe individually. After one to two minutes, work on spreading your toes apart and away from each other, just like splaying your fingers.

Everybody likes to hear that they're liked and why someone finds them attractive. It's a good way to boost her self esteem and make her feel special. Be sure that your compliments are specific--instead of saying "I think you're beautiful," which she has probably heard before and is very vague, try saying "I like your freckles, I think they're cute," or "I love your perfume, it makes you smell so good."  Compliments that take note of both her inner and outer qualities, like "That dress looks great on you, it really brings out the color of your eyes," are especially good. This compliments not just her physical features but also her choice of dress (and therefore her decision making abilities). Women want to be valued for their minds as well their physical bodies. Avoid comments that are sexual in nature until you are in a much more established relationship: you should wait until after the second or third date at least. Many women will not be comfortable receiving overt sexual attention too early on, and it's better to air on the side of caution than risk offending her. Although being told that someone cares is great, women want to be shown that you care too. Although this can mean giving gifts, this can also boil down to displays of affection: kisses, hugs, hand holding, and that sort of thing. The whole point of dating someone is being with them and feeling close to them; if you're too distant and emotionally unattached that's not good. Gifts do not have to be expensive: although many girls do like candy and flowers, something that you have taken the time to make yourself, like a piece of art, a poem, a song, or something you've handcrafted like candles, will also make her happy. It's not the price tag on the gift but the thought that went into it that should matter. No one can know what's on your mind unless you say it, so it's important that you communicate effectively. Once you've gotten past your second or third date, a girl is going to want to start to know what you're thinking and feeling: how your day...

Everybody's skin comes with its own special set of problems. Some is oily, some dry, some prone to blackheads, some to white. Your cleaning routine depends on your skin's particular symptoms.  Cleansers can be purchased at any drug or beauty supply store. Store bought cleansers typically combat specific symptoms. Find a cleanser that addresses your skin's needs, or find a few that work effectively together. Cleansers may come in the form of scrubs, toners, astringents or wipes. Sensitive skin requires gentle cleansers, and should not be scrubbed. Scrubbing irritated skin will aggravate it even more and prevent healing. If your skin is sensitive to certain cleansers or your acne is especially severe, you may want to see a dermatologist. They may prescribe you something, or suggest a couple cleansers that work well against your symptoms. You can also clean your face with baking soda, by dissolving it in water and massaging it into your skin, then rinsing. This helps deep clean your pores, and is considerably cheaper than most facial cleansers. You should wash your face twice daily, in the morning and at night.  Neglecting your cleaning routine will lead to build up in your pores.  Washing your face too frequently may dry it out. Make sure you implement moisturizing into your routine. Be consistent with your cleanser. If you alternate between too many cleansers, all of which are trying to accomplish different things, your symptoms may in fact intensify. Try implementing an electronic cleansing brush in your routine for intensive exfoliation. These are best suited for more resistant skin. If your skin is sensitive, try using a gentle setting so as not to irritate it even more.

Everyone deserves to show off their best features all the time. If you see your date everyday (i.e. work, school, the gym...etc) you can increase the man's interest by showing off your best features. If you look your best you will feel more comfortable and confident. Everyone should show off and flaunt their body type!  There are about five different body types: Hourglass, pear, apple, triangle and rectangle. Each body type has their own best feature and you can dress to enhance yours! Hourglass: Curves. Wear blouses and dresses that enhance your voluptuous curves. Clothing should be tight around waist and form fitting below. Pear: Shoulders and stomach. Wear tank tops and tight shirts to show off your thin stomach and awesome shoulders. Apple: Legs. Dresses and skirts. Not too short though, you don't want to be too revealing! Triangle: Legs. Rectangle: Arms. Wear t-shirts and tanks. Keep him wanting more. Don't give too much away in small conversations before the date. Instead, answer his questions with something that could lead to a deeper conversation later. For example: If he asks a question along the lines of "What do you like to do for fun?" answer with something vague, such as "Well... I love adventures." By leaving the answer open-ended he will want to continue asking these questions and get to know more about you. Dating will be a lot easier and more fun if you get to know his interests before the date. This will open up an endless amount of conversations for your date and it will also be helpful if you find interests you have in common.   People enjoy talking about themselves so you can prepare by getting some questions ready to ask during the date. For example: You could say, "I noticed you have a basketball at your desk, do you like to play?" If you find a mutual interest, don't be afraid to recommend participating in the interest together at some point. For example: If you find that you both enjoy hiking you could say, "I know this great trail not too far from here, let me know if you are...

Everyone experiences self-talk. It's that little voice inside of your head that can make you feel really good or really bad. Many people don't realize they are speaking negatively to themselves and that can make them feel really depressed. You may be experiencing that right now, so try to change the way you talk to yourself.  Tell yourself you are worthy of happiness. It can be easy to feel guilty. Everyone makes mistakes, though. Tell yourself that you have done a lot of good in your life, and you deserve to be happy. Look at yourself in the mirror, smile and remind yourself of something you are proud of. This may be different for different people, but ideas include: what a great friend you are, how thoughtful you are during birthdays, etc. You need to see yourself looking happy even if you do not feel that way. Studies have found that people who make themselves smile will end up feeling happier.  Telling yourself you are awesome even if you don't feel that way can also change the way you feel because you may not say that often about yourself. Tell yourself you have done the best you could do. You cannot do more than your best. Allow yourself to know that by saying, “I have done the best I could do.” This can relieve a lot of the pressure you have placed on yourself. Change your self-talk from you to I statement. Instead of saying, "You should really start exercising more," you should say, "I'm going to start exercising more." When you make a list of the things that you're proud of, you'll be able to see how great you really are and whenever you're down in the dumps, you can remind yourself that life isn't all that bad.  Do the same thing with short term and long term goals. Tell yourself that you will achieve them. Think of some good ways you can make progress towards them. Remind yourself of everything you've accomplished over the years. Give yourself a pat on the back for each accomplishment. When you care too much, you end up putting too much pressure on yourself. You can tell yourself not to care so...

Everyone experiences temptation throughout their lives. When you feel tempted to do the wrong thing, pray for strength and try to find something to distract yourself. If someone is peer pressuring you to do something that isn't right, have confidence in yourself, remember your values, and ask them to stop.  Try asking yourself, “What would Jesus do?” if you're feeling conflicted. Saying the Serenity Prayer can also help you push through moments of temptation: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. In some denominations, such as Catholicism, the sacrament of Confession is an important part of overcoming your shortcomings. If you feel like you've turned away from God, confess your sins to your priest and ask God for forgiveness. If your denomination doesn't practice the sacrament of Confession, pray to God for forgiveness on your own and ask your priest or minister for advice about spiritual healing. Don't feel ashamed if you have questions about your spirituality. Even the most faithful followers of Christ experience doubt. Try sharing your feelings with friends and relatives, and ask faith leaders at your church for advice. Keep in mind God's plan is beyond comprehension, Christian faith involves embracing mysteries that can't be understood through reason alone. In addition to general doubts about spirituality, the problem of evil is a specific challenge all Christians face. You may feel your faith tested when, for instance, a natural disaster occurs or something terrible happens to a good person. Remember that this is an imperfect world and suffering, as difficult as it is, is part of life.  For Christians, suffering has an important purpose. Suffering connects us to others and helps us become better people. If you've suffered in the past, you're more able to help someone else who is suffering now.  Suppose, for example, your friend is upset because they...

Everyone flirts a little bit here and there, and if you flirt every once in a while in a harmless way, it’s not the end of the world. However, if your man is constantly flirting with other girls, talking about other girls, and disrespecting you by checking other girls out, then he’s just not the one. You can’t make excuses for him and can’t convince yourself that he doesn’t mean anything by it; if he really cared about you, then he would never show this type of behavior.  It goes without saying that if he cheats on you, then he’s not the one. It’s one thing if he cheated once and deeply regretted it and you’re working to forgive him and another if he’s a serial cheater. If he repeatedly cheats on you, then the sooner you get out, the better. Even if he doesn’t cheat on you and it doesn’t go past flirting, the fact that he would do it in front of you or in front of your friends is a sign of major disrespect. If he’s the one, then he should be proud to show you off, to hold your hand or have his arm around you in public, and to spend time with you when he’s also with his friends or family. If he always makes up excuses about hanging out in public or having you meet his friends, then he’s not looking for a serious relationship. If he’s eager to hang out in your bedroom but won’t go to the movies with you, then he’s not the one.  Don’t make excuses for him or think he’s really busy when he doesn’t want to go out with you. If he really cared, he’d make the effort. If you’ve been seeing each other for a long time and he’s never mentioned going out and meeting his friends, then he doesn’t take you seriously. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you should make him change who he is, but that, if there’s certain behavior you’d like him to change, such as flirting with other girls or not calling you back, that he should be willing to do that for you. If he’s stubborn and absolutely refuses to change in ways that would make him a more caring, considerate boyfriend, then he’s not the one. It’s not easy for a man to change,...

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to body hair, and there’s no right or wrong way to groom yours. However, if you prefer certain parts of your body shaved, do so prior to getting naked. You can also use hair trimmers to gently trim sensitive areas.  Don't use a conventional razor on pubic hair, as the skin around this area is sensitive. Instead, trim the hair with small bikini trimmers, then apply a depilatory cream to remove newly grown hair. Consider shaving your legs and underarms. Go slowly for a nice, clean shave. You may also want to use shaving cream, as this will make your skin smoother after a shave. During your shower, exfoliate your entire body. Pay attention to rough and dry areas, like your elbows. After you dry off, mist your body with self-tanner. Allow the first coat to seal, then apply more tanner to any problem areas you might have.  You can use self tanner to create a slimmed down appearance. Try applying tanner to areas like your thighs and the sides of your waist. Rub your body with a washcloth to blend the tanner in and prevent uneven lines. The transition from darker to lighter shades should be gradual. Always do a patch test on your skin before using self tanner on the rest of your body. You should also the directions on the bottle closely. Everyone’s skin is different, and different skin types pose different problems. Find a body lotion that is designed to fix the problems you’re experiencing, then apply liberally to your problem areas. For example, if you have:  Body acne: look for a cream that can diffuse light blemishes. Bruises: apply an arnica cream to help them heal faster. Cellulite: look for a cream that tightens. Dry skin: apply body oil. Rashes or sunspots: look for a tinted lotion to even out your skin. Stretch marks: apply self-tanner to conceal the lines. Heels may be uncomfortable, but there’s a reason that women keep wearing them. Wearing heels can cause your butt to appear perkier and will make your legs appear longer and more toned. If you're...
