Stand straight up with your feet about hip-width apart. Take a large step (about 3 feet) forward with one of your legs, and dip down your back knee into a lunge. Lunge until your front thigh is nearly parallel with the ground. Keep your back knee off the ground as you lunge. Push off of your forward foot to come back into your starting position.  This functional exercise works not only your inner thighs but also your hamstrings, quadriceps, abs, calves, and glutes.  You can also hold onto weights to increase the intensity of this exercise. Consider doing this exercise in 3 sets of 10 for both of your legs. Begin this workout by lunging as usual: Take a forward step with one of your feet, and dip your back knee down until your front thigh is parallel with the ground. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides. Instead of pushing off your forward foot to come back to your starting position, you are going to shift all of your weight onto your front foot and stand up, keeping your other leg (that was previously back) up and bent at the knee. From there, straighten your hanging leg backward and you lean forward as you slightly bend your balancing leg and hinge at your hip. Swing your straighten leg forward, and immediately go into a lunge with that foot forward. From that lunge, repeat this process using your opposite leg to complete one full rep.  Complete 2–4 sets of 8–12 reps. Give yourself about 45 seconds to rest in between each set.  As you are in the deadlift position, you goal should be to make a straight line extending from your crown to your heel. Stand up straight with your feet together. Take a big step out to one side of your body keeping your torso facing forward and your squatting side foot facing outward a bit. Push your hips back as your lunge to help keep your body posture correct with your back straight and knees over your toes. Lunge until your squatting leg’s thigh is parallel with the ground. Pause for a moment, and then push off your lunging foot and squeeze your thigh muscles to come back to your...

Stand straight up with your feet together and your arms by your sides. Jump to separate your feet, while simultaneously lifting your arms overhead. Then jump your feet back together, while simultaneously returning your arms to your sides.  Do fifteen jumping jacks in a row to get your blood pumping. As you get older and stronger, you may want to increase the number of jumping jacks you do. Stand with your legs slightly wider than your hips. Lift your arms overhead, then make a circle with your arms going towards your hips, then up over your head.  Keep your arms straight at all times. Do ten arm circles going forward, then reverse and do ten backwards arm circles. Stand on your right foot, with your left foot in the air. Hop on the right foot, then step down on your left foot. Speed this motion up until you are able to skip.  Once you are confident skipping, skip back and forth for a minute at a time. As you get stronger and more flexible, increase the length of time that you spend skipping each day. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and facing forward. Keeping the weight in your heels, slowly bend your knees and lower your body towards the ground as though you were about sit down in a chair.  Pause at the ground, then slowly rise back up to your previous position and do the motion again. Hold your arms out in front of you for balance. Make sure that your knees do not go over your toes. If you can see the top of your shoes, you're doing this move right. If not, your knees are too far forward.

Stand straight up with your legs together and raise your hands straight above your head. Your body should form one straight line. Stretch your arms up as high as you can so that your hands and feet are as far apart as possible. Keeping your knees as straight as possible, move your arms, head, and trunk down as one unit. You should not be bending down at the waist. Instead, try to keep your torso and legs in a line, which means your legs should go down as your torso lowers to the ground. Reach toward the ground as you lean into the roll. Your hands will connect with the floor as your body goes down as one unit in an almost straight line. Your hands should touch the floor with your fingers pointing ahead of you. Your upper body should be all lined up with your hips slightly elevated. Bring your hips forward with your legs following. Make sure to keep your legs straight.  Don’t fling your legs over your body. Move your chin towards your chest to protect your neck. Keep your legs straight as you flip over on your hands in a slow, controlled motion. Bend your arms slightly as you roll onto your back. As you roll onto your back, tuck your knees towards your chest. Grasp your shins or your knees as your roll forward. As you roll from your back to a vertical position, roll flat onto your feet. As soon as your feet are flat on the floor, lift your arms over your head as you stand up. Doing a dive roll will help you transition to a front flip. It’s similar to a front roll, but you jump instead of slowly lowering yourself into a roll. Start by running forward and jump from the balls of your feet. Keep your knees as straight as possible.  Just like with the front roll, keep your body as straight as possible. When you jump, jump forward as you reach your arms forward toward the floor. When your hands touch the floor, go into the normal front roll you’ve already mastered.

Stand the bulb up so that it is resting on the trimmed root end. Steady it with your non-dominant hand while slicing it in half lengthwise with your other hand.  Use a sharp, sturdy kitchen knife with a smooth blade. Make sure that the bulb is cut cleanly and perfectly in half from top to bottom. With the bulb halves still standing upright, cut each half in half again from top to bottom, forming quarters. Continue holding the bulb steady as you cut the quarters. Cut into the center of each quarter, slicing the tough inner core away from the more tender layers beyond it. Leave the bottom part of the core intact, however. You need to keep part of the core when cutting fennel into wedges. Otherwise, there will be nothing connecting the layers and holding them in place, and the wedges will fall apart. Continue cutting the fennel quarters from top to bottom to form wedges. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the bulb still as you cut it. Cut carefully and mind your fingers to avoid accidentally cutting yourself.

Stand the mannequin upright on a sheet of cardboard of foam board. Trace around the mannequin using a marker. This will eventually make the bottom of your mannequin. Make sure that you cut just inside the lines that you drew. Make your cuts smooth and precise. Turn the mannequin upside down. Set the cardboard base into the bottom of the mannequin. Fold short pieces of duct tape over the edges of the cardboard onto the bottom edge of the mannequin. If you want to, you can cover the entire bottom of the cardboard with more duct tape so that it matches the rest of your mannequin. Trace the neck opening onto a sheet of cardboard. Cut the circle out. Set it down on top of the neck. Secure it with strips of tape, all the way around. Cover the top of the cardboard with more tape, if desired. Choose a sturdy, metal stand, such as a lamp post. Trace the top of the metal stand against the bottom of the mannequin. Cut the hole out, then set the mannequin on top of the stand. Seal the seam between the edges of the hole and the stand with hot glue.  For extra security, use epoxy or an industrial-strength glue instead. If you are using a lamp post, make sure that you cut away any wires so that you are just left with the metal stand. The easiest way to do this would be to find another fitted shirt, and place it over the mannequin. You can also sew a fitted, corset-like cover for it using cotton or jersey fabric.

Stand up straight, with your shoulders rolled back. However, lean forward slightly while you're talking to show you’re engaged with your audience. Additionally, keep your chin tilted up and make eye contact with members of your audience. As you speak, use hand gestures or keep your arms at your sides, being careful not to cross them, which would make you seem closed off.  You can smile or keep your facial expression neutral. Practice your body language in front of a mirror before you give your speech. Keeping your speech conversational will make your peers feel like you’re speaking directly to them. You can do this by altering your sentence structure to make your speech sound more casual. Don’t worry as much about grammar. Instead, focus on how you’d speak if you were just talking to your friends.  For instance, you might say, “We all want to support our classmates with motivational posters. However, current rules make it hard to have school spirit. Let's change that." Read the speech out loud as your write it. This will help ensure that each sentence fits the way you speak. If the sentence doesn’t sound right or feel natural coming from your mouth, revise it. Because you’re focused on clarity and brevity, you might use sentence fragments or repeat words or phrases in ways you wouldn’t normally if you were writing an essay. If your school encourages serious speeches during school elections, it might be best to stick to tradition. Otherwise, your classmates might not view you as a good candidate for leadership. Not only that, but you might also struggle to work with other student government officials and your school’s administration if you’re not perceived as taking things seriously.  To make your speech more formal, use grammatically correct sentences and stronger words, while avoiding casual phrasing. For example, don't use contractions or sentence fragments, which create a more conversational tone. Instead, speak in full sentences. To help you find a more serious tone, imagine that you're giving your speech...

Stand up tall with your chest pushed out slightly and your shoulders relaxed. Try to avoid things like crossing your arms or slouching when you’re walking or standing. Making sure you have great posture will make you appear approachable and confident.  Try to avoid leaning against the wall when you’re standing around talking to friends. Keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed when you’re sitting as well. Smiling is one of the easiest ways to look cuter and more approachable. Whenever you’re around your ex, crush, or boyfriend, smile after making eye contact, trying to keep your smile as genuine and natural as possible.  Having white teeth will enhance your smile as well—use a teeth whitening kit or a DIY at-home remedy like baking soda to make your teeth a little whiter if desired. Try to catch their attention by locking eyes for just a few seconds. While you don’t want to stare at them, making eye contact will make sure your crush is paying attention to you and makes you look more confident in yourself.  If your ex, crush, or boyfriend catches you looking at them, hold their gaze for a second or two and then smile before looking away. Try not to look at them for more than 3 seconds at a time, or they might just think you’re staring. While having your phone out to look at might make you feel less awkward, it’s best to keep the phone in your pocket or purse while you’re in front of your ex, crush, or boyfriend. This shows that you’re engaged in what’s going on around you instead of being distracted. It’s okay to look at your phone for a second or two, but try to keep it out of sight while it’s not being used. You’re more confident when you’re not trying to act differently for another person. Just be yourself and show your authentic personality, whether that’s through wearing your favorite outfit, being goofy, or talking about your favorite hobbies or interests.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, making sure they’re both flat on the ground. Keep your back straight as you’re breathing in. You can do this while standing in line at the store or while cooking in the kitchen. If you’re in the car or sitting at work, you can still do these exercises to strengthen your body. Sit up straight in your chair and place your hands beside your thighs (if possible). Relax your shoulders, keep them down and pulled back slightly. Begin breathing in slowly and exhaling all of the air in your lungs before sucking in your stomach and holding the position. When you’re sitting down, it’s especially important that you have great posture while doing this exercise. With your back flat on the ground, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground as well. Place your hands on either side of you and start the deep breathing to begin the exercise.  There isn’t a certain spot where your feet need to be - as long as your body is comfortable on the ground, you’re in the right position. You may also round your body forward slightly to make this exercise more effective. Place your hands with your palms flat on the ground right below your shoulders. Your knees are on the ground as well so that your legs make a 90 degree angle with the floor. Bend your feet so that your toes are on the ground and your heels are off of the ground. Breathe deeply and suck in your stomach while holding this position.  Look down towards your hands as you hold this position. Try not to arch your back.

Stand with your legs shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent, and your weight on the balls of your feet. If you’re right-handed, your left leg should be forward and your right leg back, so it can power your dominant hand’s punches. If you’re left-handed, keep your right leg in front. With your elbows bent at 90 degree angles, bring your dominant fist close to your chin and your lead fist to cheek height. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your chest.

Move 6 steps forward, 6 steps right, 6 steps back, and 6 steps left. After 4 boxes, switch directions by moving back, left, forward, and right. Push off your the leg opposite your step’s direction like you did with your left, right, forward, and back steps. Instead of moving in a straight line, move in an arc to make a complete circle. Place an object on the floor to help you keep track of your circle. Change directions after you complete a circle. Your weekly split will include at least 2 days dedicated to boxing. Before practicing your punch combinations on those days, do a 2 minute set of left and right steps, a 2 minute set of forward and backward steps, a 2 minute set of box steps, and a 2 minute set of circle steps. Rest for 30 seconds between each set, then repeat the sequence to complete 4 sets of each drill. to build endurance and agility. Boxers jump rope because it’s great for endurance, builds coordination, and works the calves. Do 3 sets of jumping rope for 3 minutes, and rest for 30 seconds between each set. Work your sets in at the beginning and end of your boxing workout day.

Standard bleach is harsh on clothes, a milder treatment will still get great results. Bleach is not the best product for household use and is designed more for the commercial sector. Try a milder version such as Borax or Oxygen bleach for home use. Consider the negative effects bleach has on the environment by choosing natural remedies. Opt for “sun-bleaching” or by adding ½ a cup of lemon juice to your whites wash cycle. Although bleach is known for it’s cleaning properties, it might actually be causing stains, rather than helping to clean your clothes. If you have used bleach in your built-in bleach dispenser in your washer, make sure you clean this out before putting your next load on. Put your washer on a quick rinse cycle after doing a load where you have added bleach to ensure it is free from any built-up product.

Standard link watches and bracelets wrap completely around your wrist, so take the circumference measurement when you need to find the correct size. Choose the spot on your wrist where you normally would put your jewelry so you can take an accurate measurement, which tends to be around the widest part of your wrist or just below the bone next to your hand. If you’re measuring for a heart rate monitor, take the measurement about 1⁄2–3⁄4 in (1.3–1.9 cm) up from your wrist bone so you can get the most accurate heart rate readings. Open loop bracelets have a gap in them so you can slide the bracelet over your wrist. Choose the widest spot on your wrist, which is usually where you feel the knobby bones on either side of your arm. When you measure for an open loop bracelet, you only need to measure the width from one side of your wrist to the other. Closed loop bangles have a rigid shape and must slide over your hand when you put them on. If you’re measuring your wrist to find the right bangle size, then hold your hand in front of you with your palm face up. Move your thumb to touch the tip of your pinky so your hand is the same shape as it would be when you put on a bangle. Find the circumference of your hand around the knuckles. Be careful not to move your pinky or else you’ll have an inaccurate measurement. Use a piece of string that’s about 1 foot (30 cm) long so there’s enough excess to wrap around your wrist. Lay the string on a flat surface so it’s straight and set your wrist on top of it so your palm is face up. Wrap the ends over your wrist so it’s snug against your skin and so it overlaps in the middle.  If you’re measuring your wrist width for an open loop bracelet, then lay the string on top of your wrist so the end starts on the knobby bone on one side of your wrist and extends to the other. If you’re measuring for a closed loop bangle, start the string on top of your knuckles and wrap it around your hand so it goes over the base of your thumb. You can also use a flexible measuring tape to find your...

Standard resumes often have a "goal" or "career objective" section at the top. However, there's really no point in having this section. If you're applying for a job, it's clear what your goal is. Depending on the length of this section, removing it could give you an extra 3 to 5 lines that you can use for valuable content that sells your experience and value to the potential employer. For each work-related experience you've had, you likely have several lines describing your duties and accomplishments in that position. Instead of simply listing your responsibilities, state specifically how you implemented that duty or responsibility. This gives potential employers information about your soft skills.  For example, suppose in one of your previous jobs you created a training course called "Negotiation Tactics." You're now applying for a new position that requires extensive negotiation, and you want to highlight your expertise in that area as well as your leadership skills. You could write: Created "Negotiation Tactics" course; 10 sales executives increased sales by 25%. Specific numbers draw the eye as a potential employer scans your resume and don't take up a lot of space. For example, "Drafted 24 trial briefs" gives your potential employer far more information than simply saying that you drafted documents for senior attorneys. If you round or estimate, include a word such as "around" or "about" so the potential employer doesn't get the impression you're using an exact figure. Have each bullet point under experience or education items relate to a single skill or responsibility. If you see several bullet points that all relate to the same thing, keep only the most important ones and consolidate them into one bullet point.  For example, if you have a retail sales position listed on your resume, you might have a bullet point for responsibilities related to customer service and another for sales goals. If you had managerial responsibilities, you would likely have a third bullet point discussing your performance as a...

Standard skinny jeans for men are usually made from 100% cotton and are fairly comfortable. They have a slightly wide ankle opening and a less dramatic taper.  Wear standard skinny jeans if you’re carrying some weight around your legs and mid-section. These jeans should sit slightly below the waist and be slim throughout the hip and thigh. Spray-on skinny jeans are constructed mostly from stretch elastane, are tapered all the way down and have a very narrow ankle opening. They are incredibly unforgiving and should only be worn by men who are very confident in their bodies.  Avoid wearing spray-on jeans if there is an extreme contrast between the size of your upper body and the size of your lower body. Avoid wearing spray-on jeans if you have a tall and skinny physique. They will only enhance how lanky you are. Men don’t have as much flexibility as women do when it comes to how high their jeans should sit. It is largely agreed upon that the only correct rise for men’s jeans is mid rise.  Your jeans should sit somewhere below your bellybutton, but above your pelvic bones. Make sure the jeans don’t sag near your crotch. Jeans should fall between the top of your shoe and your heel.

Standard tuning for a banjo is in the key of G. In this case, your strings would be tuned to g, D, G, B, and D. Capoing the first four frets is similar to holding down the frets in a bar chord and can change the key that you're playing in.  Bringing the capo to the second fret in standard tuning makes you play in the key of A. Tightening the capo on the third fret will make you play in the key of B flat. Putting the capo on the fourth fret will cause you to play in the key of B. Pressing down the fifth string with a capo will change its note and works with the capo on the first four frets to change the key that you're playing in.  For example, when playing in the key of A, your first capo will go over the second fret while your other capo holds down the 7th fret for the 5th string. If you are playing in the key of B, your fourth fret should be held down by your traditional capo while the 9th fret is held down by your fifth string capo. The point of a capo is to change the key of the banjo easily, without having to retune it. An additional benefit, however, is the ability to keep standard chord shapes while playing in a different key. For instance, if you know a song in the key of G, you can capo the second fret on the bottom four strings, and the seventh fret on the fifth string and use all of the same finger positions. The capo will do all the work and change the song from the key of G to the key of A.

Standing and sitting up straight creates a much more polished look than slouching does. Practice standing tall, putting your shoulders back, and holding your head up high. This will help you exude confidence, creating a more polished overall look. Brushing up on your conversation skills is a great way to add to your polished look. If you're able to hold meaningful and intelligent conversations, it will be obvious to people that you know what you're talking about, and they will begin to take you more seriously. It can be difficult to put yourself out there if you're a shy person, but try to make an effort! If others see that you're making an effort to engage in conversation, they may start to view you as a more polished individual as opposed to 'the shy guy' at work. Happiness is another sign of a person who is well put-together. When you're interacting with others, be sure to smile. People typically equate smiling to happiness, and happiness is a sign of a polished individual. Even if you're having a bad day, don't take it out on the people around you.

Standing in one place for a long time increases venous pressure in the legs and feet. Over time, this pressure weakens the blood vessel walls. This will worsen existing varicose veins and could contribute to the development of new ones. Since prolonged standing is almost unavoidable in some jobs, mitigate the harm by shifting your position as frequently as possible. Try to walk around at least every 30 minutes. . Sit up straight and don’t cross your legs. Good posture improves circulation, while crossed legs may restrict blood flow to and from the legs. Avoid sitting for long stretches of time without taking a break. Get up every half-hour or so to stretch or walk around. Relaxing and “putting your feet up” can help reduce your risk of developing varicose veins. Try to raise your legs above your heart for 15 minutes, 3-4 times per day. This will help improve circulation and reduce pressure.  When possible, keep your legs elevated when sitting or sleeping.  Other options include using an inversion table or elevating the foot of your bed so that your feet are slightly higher than your head when you sleep. Consult with your doctor before trying these methods. Improve circulation to your lower body by avoiding tight-fitting clothes. Be especially careful to avoid tight fits around your waist, legs, and groin area. Tight clothing can make existing varicose veins worse, and may increase your risk of developing them. Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes instead of high heels. Low-heeled shoes can help tone your calves, which will help your blood move easily through your veins. Make sure your shoes are properly fitted to avoid pinching or tightness. If you’re developing varicose veins, try regularly using compression stockings or hose. These can be purchased at medical supply stores or pharmacies and come in a variety of different compressions. Consult with your doctor before buying or wearing compression stockings.  Use a tape measure to measure your legs so that you get the right size. Compression stockings should...

Staph gathers on the skin, including under your nails. By washing your hands, you are more likely to avoid introducing it to a scratch, scrape, or scab. When you wash your hands, you should scrub for 20 to 30 seconds with soap and warm water; using a throwaway towel afterwards is best. In addition, turn off the faucet with a towel so you don't touch the germy surface after washing your hands. When you get a cut or scrape, it's important to cover it with a bandage once you clean it up. Using an antibiotic ointment is also good practice. Doing so will help keep staph infection out of the wound. If you're working on someone else's cut or wound, it's best to put on clean gloves if possible. If not, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards and try not to touch the wound itself with your bare hands. You can do things like put the antibiotic ointment on the bandage before placing it over the wound to keep from touching it. You can pick up staph infection in the gym, hot tub, or steam room, so make sure to shower after you exercise to help wash it off. Always make sure the shower area is clean, and don't share shower supplies, such as razors, towels, and soap. Toxic shock syndrome is a form of staph infection, and it is often caused by leaving a tampon in for longer than eight hours. Try to change your tampon every four to eight hours, and use the lightest tampon you can get away with. If you use a tampon that is too absorbent, it can increase your risk of a staph infection. If you're worried about toxic shock syndrome, try sticking to other methods to manage your period, such as pads. When doing your laundry, wash your linens, including your towels and sheets, in hot water. Hot water can help kill off the staph bacteria so it doesn't keep infecting you.

Start any diary entry by writing out the date. This can help you keep track of how often you write in it, and it can be fun to look back at a diary later to see what you wrote during a certain time period.  Include the day of the week, the month, the day, and the year. You can even write down the exact time during the day, or the location you’re in while you’re writing if you want to include more detail. You can also give the heading of each entry a title, or a doodle unique to the day or nature of your entry. Decide on how you’d like to write each entry in your diary. You can make the format more formal or casual, depending on your preference.  You can choose to start every diary entry with the classic “Dear Diary…” as if you are addressing it to another person in the form of the diary. Or, you can set your own prompts to talk about each day, like “Today I saw…,” “Today I felt…,” or “Today I was grateful for…” Add a visual element to the content of your entries if you like. Tape or glue photos, concert tickets, or anything else that can lie flat on the page and relate to the day or events that you write about. You also are not required to have any special format to stick to for your diary entries. Let whatever you’re feeling or whatever comes to mind inspire the way you write in your diary each day. Commit to filling up your diary with regular entries to make it a consistent practice. This can be a good thing to do if you want to focus on using a diary as a tool to vent, de-stress, analyze, or practice gratitude.  Set reminders for yourself wherever you will see or check them the most, be it a physical calendar, a virtual calendar or reminders on your phone or computer, or a simple post-it note around the house. Set a goal of writing an entry every day, even if it’s only a sentence or two. Set aside a time, like first thing in the morning or right before bed, that’s easiest for you to sit down and write.

Start applying throttle smoothly. The car must slowly climb over the curb without the engine fading. Press the gas pedal all the way down. The engine should not fade. If it does, it means the transmission (particularly the clutch) does not disengage completely. On an even and relatively horizontal road you should be able to accelerate without any tangible jolts. If there are such, the gearbox has malfunctioned. Driving at about 70 km/h (35 mph) switch to Neutral (both auto and manual). There shouldn't be any lateral vibrations. If there are, this is either due to a warping of the drive-shaft, or a suspension damage. Basically, drive-shaft warping is perceived as a vibration in both vertical and horizontal direction, whereas a suspension damage is felt as a vibration in only one direction (i.e. either horizontally or vertically). When trying to enter a corner with approximately 30 km/h (15 mph) there shouldn't be any tangible under-steer. The presence of such may be due to a differential failure, especially in FWD cars. Novice drivers must never try to test their differentials by trying to induce under/over-steer!

Start as soon as you bring the dog home by setting him onto the toilet place. If he squats, say a cue word like, "business" or "toilet time." When he's finished, give him praise or a treat.   Start by keeping the beagle in one room, so that he's not overwhelmed or distracted by a whole house of scents. Reward your dog immediately after he eliminates, so he associates the reward with the action. Try to take your dog outside to eliminate every 20 to 30 minutes, if possible. Choose a place outside to take your dog to relieve himself. Always return to this spot when you take him out to eliminate. You should also put him out first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and after eating. When he appears to squat, give him lots of praise. Since you're already outside, try rewarding your beagle with playtime in the park or a long walk. The important thing is to set out food at designated meal times, instead of letting your dog graze all day. Plan several meal times throughout the day. With regular meals should come regular needs to eliminate. Take your beagle outside to eliminate 30 to 40 minutes after each meal. Plan your trips outside around meals and stick to the routine.  Young beagles, will need to go outside more frequently. As a general rule, a puppy can wait 1 hour for each month of age it is, up to 8 hours. For example, a 3 month old puppy can wait 3 hours.  The amount of food you give your beagle will depend on whether you're feeding dry manufactured food, meat, canned manufactured food, or making it yourself. Talk to your vet about a healthy beagle diet. Your beagle will probably show signs that he's ready to eliminate. Pay attention to these and give him the opportunity to go outside before an accident can happen.  Look for barking or scratching at the door through which you take your puppy out, squatting, restlessness, and sniffing around or circling.  It's better to take your beagle out even if you're not completely sure he needs to go. If your beagle has an accident in the house, never scold or get...

Start at the tip of the toe and move slowly up to their ankle. Move back down their foot, starting from their ankle. Apply firm pressure with your thumbs, cupping their foot in your hands.  Move up and down their foot two to three times. Keep their foot close to your chest area, with your body leaning towards them. This will help you apply the right amount of pressure to their foot. Make sure you use the strength of your body weight, rather than the muscles in your thumbs, to massage their feet. Using only the muscles in your thumbs can cause them to cramp up and get tired easily. Use your thumbs to apply light pressure to the arch of their foot, right below the ball of their foot. Move one thumb clockwise and the other thumb counterclockwise in small circles. Do this for at least 30 seconds.  Place your thumbs on opposite ends of their foot and move them toward one another. Do this at least three to five times, moving up and down the bottom of their feet. Make sure you are gripping their feet firmly and with some pressure as you massage them. Light, soft touches can be ticklish to most people and distract from the massage. If the person has any sore spots on their feet, do not put too much pressure on them as this can irritate the area. Move your thumbs up and down their Achilles tendon, which runs from the heel and ankle up to the calf muscle. Rub the heel of their foot in circular motions using your thumbs.  You may need to lift their foot up with one hand so you can access their heel. The skin on this area tends to be dry or hard, so you can apply massage oil or lotion to your hands to help reduce any friction. Hold their foot with one hand, right under the arch. With your other hand, place your thumb on top of their big toe. Your index finger should be underneath their big toe. Rotate the toe slightly to one side and pull the toe from top to bottom. Go back to the top of the toe and squeeze it with your thumb and pointer finger. Do this for each toe to help loosen and relax them. Do not yank on the...

Start by cleaning and sanitizing a space on your counter where you will knead the fondant dough. Stir frequently with a greased spoon. Remove from the heat when the marshmallows are completely melted.  Gradually stir in the sugar. With a greased knife, cut away a small amount of white fondant and reserve this for the eye. Remove one quarter of the fondant and set it aside in a greased bowl (for the blue fondant). Grease your hands and counter space with vegetable shortening. Add several drops of yellow food coloring to the large fondant ball and begin kneading on the greased countertop. Add more food coloring as needed to achieve minion yellow. Knead for about 8 minutes, until you have an elastic ball and the food coloring has been worked through.  Re-grease your hands as needed if they stick to the dough. Add water by the half tablespoon as necessary if the fondant cracks or tears during kneading. Re-grease the countertop and your hands, and repeat the coloring and kneading steps with the quarter ball of fondant using blue food coloring. Repeat the greasing and kneading for the smallest ball of fondant, without adding any coloring. Cover each fondant ball with a thin layer of shortening, wrap each ball in plastic wrap, and seal them in plastic bags. Refrigerate overnight or longer.  It will keep in the refrigerator for a couple weeks, and can be prepared well in advance. Fondant can be used immediately if you haven’t prepared it the night before, but it’s best to let it rest.

Start by cleaning the infection twice a day at home. You should see signs of improvement, like reduced redness or swelling, after two days. If the infection worsens or shows no signs of improvement, schedule an appointment with your doctor or visit a healthcare clinic. Monitor the infection closely during the first day. See a doctor if the infection starts spreading beyond the piercing site or if you develop a fever. These could indicate a more serious infection that will require antibiotic treatment. Be extra cautious about dealing with an infected cartilage piercing, or a piercing at the top part of the ear. It’s better to be on the safe side and have a doctor look at infected cartilage sooner rather than later. Infected cartilage piercings are more likely to escalate, and they can lead to long-term deformities, such as "cauliflower ear," which causes the cartilage to take on a bumpy appearance. When you visit your doctor, they’ll likely take a culture of the infection site. This will help them identify the type of bacteria that has caused the infection.  Ask the doctor, “Do you recommend any antibiotics for this infection? What type of antibiotic is most effective for this type of bacterial infection?” Do not wash or clean the piercing for at least 24 hours before seeing a doctor. The doctor will want to take a swab of the infected ear to diagnose it, and cleaning products can interfere with this test. Redness, swelling, itchiness, and other signs of infection can also be due to an allergy. If cultures come back negative, talk to your doctor about getting an allergy test.  If you’ve never had a piercing before, you might find that you have a metal allergy. You can avoid allergic reactions to piercings by getting an earring that is nickel-free, as nickel is the most common metallic allergen. Your doctor may refer you to an allergist for more specialized testing to identify what the allergy might be.

Start by coming up with a list of tasks that each department at your organization is responsible for completing. You can assign this task to a single person or to one individual in each department. If it falls on one person, make sure he or she has the support of the department heads. Once you know what each department is responsible for, determine exactly what tasks each employee does within each department. This will help you evenly distribute the workload and will leave you better prepared to hire new employees when the time comes. It may be helpful to create an organizational chart that outlines who each employee should report to, especially if this is currently unclear in your organization. Once you have a list of tasks that each employee is responsible for, it's time to dig deeper into each task and write step-by-step instructions for how to complete them. The point of this is to help in the training of new employees and to make it easier for existing employees to cover each other's work during absences.  Make sure to outline details such as where documents are saved, where certain supplies are kept, and how to contact vendors and customers. It's a good idea to have someone review each task by attempting to complete it by following the instruction precisely. Make sure the reviewer is not the same person who typically completes the task. It will quickly become apparent if there are missing steps or inefficiencies. In addition to outlining the procedures for daily tasks that your employees complete, be sure to account for larger projects that occur infrequently, such as quarterly reviews or annual presentations. Try to establish a schedule for each of these tasks so that new employees will understand when to begin preparing for them. In addition to providing details about how to complete the tasks required of the job, you may wish to provide your new employees with some extra tips to help get them acquainted with the office. This will reduce their reliance on other employees, and hopefully make them feel...

Start by doing some research. Find out how to get the best deal on each item, and keep track of the information in a spreadsheet or notebook.  Consider shopping at more than one place. Rather than picking everything up at the same grocery store, try to coupons or hit sales at more than one place. Eat seasonally. When it's harvest time for a certain food, the prices drop significantly. Pay attention to when the foods on your list are in season. You'll not only save money, but you'll be eating food that's very fresh. Farmer's markets are full of fresh, often organic produce at very low prices. Find local farmers' markets and strike bargains with the farmers. Many times, they'll be thrilled to sell at a discount if you buy regularly and in bulk. It's time to put your budget into practice. As you check items off your grocery list, keep these money-saving tips in mind:  Buy the least expensive variation of any type of food. Some foods come in pre-seasoned frozen packages, in cans, and dried in bags. Figure out which forms of the foods on your list are the cheapest, and buy those. Give yourself plenty of time to shop. If you go when you're in a hurry, you're more likely grab the most convenient items instead of taking the time to figure out which items are the best bargain. You may get to the market and find that strawberries have jumped in price, but blueberries are on sale. Remember that your list is just a basic guide, and you don't have to come home with the exact items you had in mind.

Start by lining one side and stacking the diapers on their side so they sit upright, but placed horizontally. As you build up one wall side, migrate to the other side of the pan and build up that area. Keep creating the swirl shape. Wrap one of the rubber bands or soft elastic loops around the perimeter of the diapers. You may want to ask a friend to help with this because if a single diaper slips from the band, you’ll have to start the process all over again! Do this inside the pan the same way you designed the first swirl. Add the rubber band around the diapers, then gingerly lift the tire from the pan and set next to the first diaper tire.    Cover the rubber band or elastic loop with the ribbon. This improves the look and helps to give the impression of a tire. Pin the ribbon in place, leaving the pin at the bottom of the tire so it doesn’t show.

Start by looking at word processing software like MS Word, Google Docs or Pages. Many of them come with resume templates of different styles and design. You can also find many free templates available for download on the internet. You can either select a template to use “as is” and simply add your personal information, or you can select a template and alter some of the formatting to create something more unique. Or, if you're more creative, you can create a resume template from scratch. While the resume templates that come with well-known software like MS Word are a great starting point, keep in mind that everyone who has access to MS Word can potentially use the same template. That means that employers may receive a stack of resumes from potential candidates that all look the same! Your resume will not stand out in such a situation. This may not be a problem when you're only looking for babysitting positions, but keep it in mind as you start to apply to other types of positions like retail stores, restaurants, offices, etc. Every resume needs to contain your name, your (home) address, your phone number(s), and your email address.  The best place to put these items is in the header. Having them in the header will help control the formatting and ensure these items are displayed on every page of your resume, if your resume is more than 1 page in length.  Your name should be the very first thing on a resume, and it should stand out. You can make your name stand out by: using bold, using a larger font size than the rest of the document (e.g. 14-18 pt), or using a different font than the rest of your resume (e.g. use a fancy font like Copperplate for your name, but use Arial for the rest of your resume). Your address, phone number(s) and email can be in the same font size and font as the rest of the document. Or, you can keep it the same font size as the rest of the document, but use a slightly different font. You'll want to use an address that is most relevant to the jobs you're seeking. For example, if you're...

Start by making small changes to your diet, removing dairy slowly and over time.  By making small changes that you can live with, you will find it easier to sustain this new diet that you are implementing.  By gradually decreasing your consumption of dairy products,  cravings may not be as intense. If you are already aware of the dairy products you currently consume, remove the dairy products that you can live without. Retain the dairy foods you love at first.  Allowing yourself some dairy during the process will make success more likely. When you get used to eating less dairy, try removing a few more dairy products until all the dairy products in your diet are removed. To help yourself make the transition to a dairy-free diet, try making a diet plan in advance and then following it.  Keeping track of your diet and sticking to your diet plan have been shown to help when starting a new diet.  Here are more examples of starting your diet shift slowly:  On the first week, replace dairy milk with soy milk or another alternative. On the second week, replace dairy cheese with non-dairy cheese or nutritional yeast. Every following week, try removing one more type of dairy food in your diet. Keep a food diary to maintain and keep track of your progress Sometimes cravings for old flavors lead people to go back to dairy products. The best way to avoid this is by finding good alternatives to the usual dairy products you consume.  Eating dairy product alternatives can seem unusual at first, but with time you will come to see them as a natural part of your diet. Some dairy substitutes can be more healthy than the dairy product themselves. If you find yourself craving milk, you can purchase various milk alternatives to replace regular dairy milk.  These alternatives are a great way to still enjoy a “milk” product without the actual dairy content.  Soy milk is derived from soy beans.  Soy milk is low in cholesterol, and a great source for vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12 and calcium.  Rice milks are generally made from...

Start by mixing all the ingredients together, form. There are several ways to accomplish this:   In a food processor, pulse a few times to combine, then process for about 45 seconds.   In a stand mixer, combine with a flat beater for 30–60 seconds. Switch to a dough hook attachment and mix at medium speed for another 2 minutes.   By hand, add flour and salt to a bowl and form a 4 inch (10 cm) "well" in the center. Beat eggs and egg yolks together, then pour into the well. Slowly push flour into the egg with a fork, until you've formed a soft dough. The brand of flour, size of eggs, and humidity in the air all affect the dough. If the mixture isn't combining smoothly, adjust the recipe:  If your dough feels wet and tacky, add a spoonful of flour at a time until it feels firm. If your dough is so dry it won't combine or breaks apart when held, mist it with water or spatter a few drops with your fingertips. Do not do this for minor cracks. Place the dough on a floured surface and fold in any remaining flour by hand or with a bench knife. Knead the dough by pressing it down and forward with the flat of your hand. Rotate and repeat until the dough is smooth and firm, and no air bubbles are visible when you slice into it. This takes about 10 minutes if you combined the ingredients by hand, and only 1–2 minutes if you used a food processor or mixer. Over time, moisture will distribute more evenly in the dough. This makes the dough easier to handle, and makes softer, less rubbery pasta. If you have some experience handling dough, you can skip this step without major problems.

Start by moving your feet wide so that you are standing slightly wider than shoulder-width. Your toes should be slightly pointed out. Lower yourself down into a squat position. Hold for a second, and then stand back up. Make sure to keep your knees over your feet and behind your toes. The ankles should line up directly below the knees. Get into a wide squat stance, with your feet wider than shoulder-width. Lower down towards your left side, bending your left leg and straightening your right leg. The toes on your right foot should be pointed straight up, towards the ceiling. Extend your arms straight out in front of you.  Come back to start and repeat the same movement on the other side. Make sure your knee stays behind your toes and doesn’t push forward over them. Hold on to a sturdy chair, countertop, or other surface. Your feet should be around hip-width apart with your toes straight ahead. Put a medium-sized soft ball, towel, or pillow between your thighs. Place your other hand on your hip and lift your heels. Balance yourself on the balls of your feet.  Lower yourself by bending your knees and moving down about an inch like you were sliding down a wall. Squeeze the ball with your inner thighs. Your body should stay straight, with your shoulders over your hips and ankles. Staying on the balls of your feet, straighten your legs as you bring your free hand over your head. You should still be squeezing the ball. Lower again to repeat. Complete your reps for one side, switch to the other, and do the same number of reps. Get in a wide squat position. Raise up onto the ball of one of your feet, keeping the other flat. Bend the knees a few inches. This is your starting position for the pulse. Drop your butt down only a few inches, then quickly raise the few inches. Continuously pulse up and down for your number of reps.  After you are finished with that side, straighten your leg, then raise the opposite heel. You can also pulse for a set amount of time, like 30 seconds, instead of reps. Stand with your feet...

Start by parting your hair down the middle from front to back into 2 equal sections. Then, divide each of those sections in half, making a part on each side just above your ear. Twist up each section and secure it with a plastic hair clip. Then commence mixing the bleach and developer mixture. Prepare to apply the mixture. DO NOT start at your roots, unless you want to come out with lighter roots and darker ends. You can put foil under a section of hair, paint on the bleach, then wrap up that section in foil if you like. Make sure it is hairdressing foil and not tin foil from the grocery store or you could damage your hair. Keep 1 1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) away from your roots initially. After you have finished the rest of your hair, apply the bleach mix to your roots, being careful not to massage it into your scalp too much. Avoid putting the bleach directly onto your scalp. If you do, it will sting or burn a little bit, and it will hurt a bit. If it burns a lot, this is a chemical burn. Rinse it out immediately. You may wish to put more bleach, earlier, on whichever part of your hair is darker. So, if your roots are dark and the rest of your hair has been bleached before, bleach the roots for 15 or 30 minutes longer than the rest of your hair. If your roots are light or blonde and the rest of your hair is darker, paint the dark bits first.

Start by reversing the flow of the filter to flush away any gunk that has collected. How you do it depends on the type of filter, but generally, you use a syringe or hose that comes with your water filter to reverse the flow by pressing water through it backwards. If you're using your filter often, all you need to do is reverse the flow. If your filter has been dry for a while, you need to moisten it by letting water go through it in the normal direction before reversing it. Some filters can be brushed to remove the gunk instead of reversing the flow. However, your filter must be designed for brushing, so always check the manual first. To brush it, simply use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any gunk and build up on the filter. Tap water that has chlorine (as many cities add chlorine to the water) can help clear out bacteria in the filter. Run a gallon or so of water through the filter the normal way to help clear off the bacteria.  If your tap water isn't chlorinated, add 8 drops of clear liquid bleach (unscented) to a gallon (about 2 liters) of water. Stir it up, and then let it sit for half an hour before using.  If you want to be sure your filter is disinfected, you can make the bleach solution a little stronger, with about a capful of bleach in a quart (about a liter) of water. If you're planning on storing your water filter, you need to dry it thoroughly. You can let it air dry in a warm, ventilated area. Just don't put it directly in sunlight.

Start by soaking a paper towel with water, then squeeze out the excess water. Place the damp paper towel on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles. The paper towel should fit inside your plastic zippered or resealable bag. If the paper towel is too big, then fold it in half or into quarters. Seeds from non-organic lemons will not always sprout, so it is a good idea to prepare at least 10 seeds to ensure you have a healthy selection. Look for seeds that are large and plump. Skip the ones that look shriveled or like tiny, white specks. These will either not sprout, or they won't grow into a healthy seedling.  Even if you only plan on growing one lemon tree, it is a good idea to start with several seeds. Not all seeds will sprout, and not all seedlings will survive. Take care to not crowd the seeds. They should be at least three inches apart, so that they have room for their roots as they germinate. This will keep the seeds from drying out while you work. The seeds must stay moist. If they dry out, they will not sprout. You can do this by rinsing the seeds in cool water, or by sucking on them. This gel is filled with sugars, which can encourage mold and bacteria growth. Start peeling from the pointy end. You can use your finger nail or a craft knife to nick the tip, and then peel the outer shell down. This will make it easier for the seeds to sprout and speed up the process, but is not necessary for germination to occur. You may notice that your seed is covered with a thin, brown film. Use your fingernail to scratch this coating off. Try to spread the seeds out as evenly as you can, so that the roots don't become tangled when they sprout. Once the seeds are on the paper towel, they should stay damp. If you notice them starting to get dry out, consider covering the paper towel with another damp paper towel, or folding the first one overtop of them. Don't use a plastic grocery bag. You want the bag to be zippered or resealable; this will help trap the moisture and retain heat. Your seeds will need both in...

Start by taking a small safety pin and inserting it through one of the inner layers of the roll. Then, pass the safety pin through your sleeve and close it to hold the roll in place. Attach the safety pin to the part of your sleeve that rests over your armpit so it’s hidden. Try to use the folded fabric to hide the pin. Roll it up to the same point on your arm so your sleeves match. If you used a safety pin or rubber band to secure the roll on your other sleeve, do the same thing on this sleeve.

Start by washing your hair with your normal shampoo in the shower or bath. Then, apply a moisturizing conditioner so your hair does not become frizzy when you dry it.  Use a leave-in conditioner if your hair tends to be very dry or frizzy. You should shampoo and condition your hair even if you are going to use hair extensions for the braids, as this will ensure the hair extensions attach properly to your natural hair. Let your hair air dry completely if it is straight and fine, and then use a plastic wide-tooth comb to gently remove any tangles or knots. Start combing your hair at the ends, and work your way up the strand, gently removing knots and tangles as you go. Do not tug or pull at your hair too hard, as you do not want to tear or rip your hair. Try to remove as many tangles as you can so your hair is easy to braid. Apply a heat protectant gel or spray to your hair before you blow dry it. Use a brush to blow dry your hair in sections so it lays flat and straight. This can make parting your hair for the braids easier, especially if you have very curly hair.  If your blow dryer comes with a comb or pick attachment, you can use that. You can also flat iron dry hair with a hair straightener if you’d prefer. Make sure you apply heat protectant before you straighten your hair. If you have ends that feel dry when you rub them or appear flat and frizzy, you may trim them carefully. Trimming the ends can help to prevent fuzziness at the ends of the braid and keep the braids locked in for a longer period of time. Trimming the ends is especially important if you are using synthetic hair to create the box braids, as synthetic hair tends to attach better to fresh, clean ends. Create 4 sections by dividing your hair down the center from your forehead to your neck, then from ear to ear. Leave the first section you plan to work on undone. Make sure the sections are evenly parted, with a clear straight line at the roots, forming a box shape. Use 3 large hair clips to keep the remaining 3 sections out of the way. Make...

For example, if the problem is that you need to find a new apartment because your roommate is moving out, then you might write it as, “I need to find a new apartment because I cannot afford to live in a 2 bedroom apartment on my own and I haven’t been able to find a new roommate.” Another example might be, “Children in our community are going hungry towards the end of the month.” Add to your initial description of the problem using the information you have gathered. Include as many details about the problem as you can in your description.  For example, if you are seeking a new apartment, then your tentative statement might be, “I need to find a new apartment by the end of the month because I can no longer afford this one. I need to find a 1 bedroom or studio apartment in the same neighborhood I live in now that costs no more than $700 per month.” If you are trying to define the problem of child hunger in your community, then you might write, “Children in this community are going hungry towards the end of the month because their parents are running out of money and food benefits.” Talking through the problem statement in a group is a great way to determine if you have missed anything. Have an open discussion of the statement. Look for ways you could strengthen the statement and define the problem more clearly. If you are working with a group, ask your group members something like, “What else is missing from this statement? How could we make it stronger?” Work together to integrate the missing details. If you will be presenting your problem statement to a group of people, include the definitions of any key terms you use. Do this even if it seems like the terms are things that your audience will understand. For example, you might need to explain what is meant by “food benefits” in a problem statement on child hunger in your community.

Start finding your total cost of living by tallying up all of your fixed costs for the time period you're looking at. Note that most (but not all) personal budgets are calculated monthly.  In this case, fixed costs are expenses that must be paid every month. These include rent, utilities, phone bills, gasoline for the car, groceries, and so on. Fixed costs do not change very much (if at all) from month to month.These are costs that don't increase or decrease depending on how much personal spending you do in a month — for instance, if you go on a shopping spree at your favorite clothing store, your rent won't go up. As an example, let's say that we need to put together a personal budget to save money. In our case, our fixed costs are: rent = $800, utilities = $250, phone bill = $25, internet bill = $35, gasoline for commuting to work = $200, and groceries = $900. Adding these up, we find that our total fixed costs are $2210. In contrast to fixed costs, variable costs depend on your lifestyle and include all expenses that are not strictly necessary, but that improve your quality of life.  Variable costs include expenses like shopping trips, nights out, clothing (beyond what you need), vacations, parties, gourmet food, etc. Note that, even though expenses like utility bills can vary slightly from month to month, they aren't variable costs because they're not optional.  In our example situation, let's say that our variable costs include: money for theater tickets = $25, weekend vacation = $500, dinner party for a friend's birthday = $100, and a new pair of shoes = $75. This would bring our total variable costs to $700. Your total cost of living on your budget is the total amount of money you spent over a one month period. The formula for finding this is simply fixed costs + variable costs = total cost. Using the examples of fixed costs and variable costs given above, we would calculate our total cost as follows: $2210 (fixed costs) + $700 (variable costs) = $2910 (total cost). Unless you're already practicing...

Start from the city of Morthal, and from there, take the road south and turn eastwards. Keep on walking along this course and turn right around the first corner that leads to the south. Stick to this small road and you’ll be able to come across the entrance to the Labyrinthian, an abandoned city in ruins. Make your way through the Labyrinthian up to its third level, called the Labyrinthian Tribune. Inside this chamber you’ll find a dragon priest named Morokei who’s wielding a staff called the Staff of Magnus; kill him. Range weapons like bow and arrows, and magic spells are very effective against Morokei. Close combats like swords or axes can damage the priest too but will not be as effective. Also, avoid the shock spells that he’ll cast at you as these will deal severe damage on you. Once Morokei is defeated, approach and search Morokei’s ashes to retrieve his mask and the Staff of Magnus. After killing Morokei, you’ll find a door inside the Labyrinthian Tribune that leads back to the outside world. Exit through this door and head back to Winterhold, taking the northeastern road from where you are.

Start introducing your pitbull to different people and animals as early as you can. This will help your puppy get used to all sorts of people and animals. The best time to start socializing your puppy is when he's around 3 to 5 weeks old to when he is 14 to 18 weeks old. During this time, your puppy easily learns and absorbs new information which can make him confident later in life.  Give your pitbull treats as a reward for greeting people. You can let others feed your puppy the treats so that he associates people with good things. Treats can also keep your puppy's attention around loud or possibly frightening situations like traffic, skateboards and bicycles. Your pitbull puppy might be frightened when meeting new people or encountering new situations. Put him at ease by starting with calm, comfortable situations before gradually introducing more exciting situations. Watch your puppy for signs that he's content. Never force your dog into an interaction that seems to overwhelm or frighten him. For example, if your puppy appears frightened by meeting new people out in public, try introducing people to him at home. Your puppy may be more relaxed in this environment. Eventually, you can expose him to new things outside of the home. One of the best ways to socialize your puppy is to take a puppy socialization class with your puppy. You could find a responsible pitbull dog group, canine good citizen program, or dog therapy training program. These classes can give you skills you need to teach your puppy commands and help your puppy interact with other dogs. You can find available programs through community education centers, humane societies, and large pet stores. Your veterinarian may also be able to recommend local classes. You should always watch your puppy when he's playing with other puppies or dogs. If you notice a problem, stop the behavior before they start fighting. For example, play has moved too far towards fighting if one puppy is biting another's skin, especially if the biting puppy is shaking his...

Start keeping track of your emotions in feelings journal, which can be a small notebook or on your mobile device. Try this next time you are watching a tearjerker movie to keep track of sadness. Write down how you physically respond to sadness. Is it difficult for you to cry?  What does your chest feel like when you feel sad? Try to stay out of your thoughts as your create your feelings journal and stay focused on your body's response.  This will help you start to become more connected to how you really feel instead of just brushing emotions aside. You may be in the habit of telling yourself that you’re just being silly for feeling a certain way. You may also tell yourself not to feel a certain way. As you become more accustomed to recognizing your body’s response to emotions, it will be more difficult to just shrug off emotions.  Your body is responding for a reason, and it is important to validate that.  Get out your journal and start keeping a log of all the different feelings you had that day.  For example, write things like, "Today at work my boss made me really angry."  Validate that anger and write about why you were angry. Do this for all the emotions you feel each day. You may be surprised at the rich emotional landscape you actually have inside of you once you start paying attention. Humans are naturally emotional beings, and it is easy in a fast-paced world to become disconnected from how you really feel. To better express yourself emotionally every day, write down how you want to handle each situation. Then you can do practice runs of how you would like to act in certain situations. Using a boss or authority figure as an example again, start writing out exactly what you would like to say to then. Don't edit yourself and make it as raw and as graphic as you like. If you saw something that day that made you sad, such as someone in distress or a lost animal, write out your uncensored sadness in your journal. Also continue to notice how your body physically responds.

Start mentally exploring the idea of falling in love with someone who doesn’t meet all of your requirements. When you meet new people, think about their positive qualities instead of mentally comparing them to a checklist. Joining an organization is a great way to attract people with similar interests and outlooks as you. You can join neighborhood associations, sports teams, fanclubs, or anything else that you’re passionate about and can meet other people at. If you’re shy or there isn’t a local group you can join, try joining online groups and getting to know their members. Don’t be afraid to reach out to other members--people join these groups to socialize! Try joining neighborhood discussion groups, video game forums, or fan pages. Let your social circle know that you’re interested in going out and socializing more. Don’t turn an invitation down if you’re able to go--even if it’s way out of your comfort zone. The more often you go out, the more chances you’ll have to meet someone. It can be very hard to conquer shyness, but if you practice speaking to new people, it will get easier and easier. Make an effort to speak to someone new every time you go out, and you’ll soon be able to converse with anyone. Many people look for love online. Join an app or site and start talking to people! Have a trusted friend read through your profile and look at your pictures--sometimes another person can catch problems you missed, like typos or an unflattering photo. Try apps like Tinder or Bumble that connect you to users in your area. If you are hoping to find somebody who shares your religion or specific interests, try a specialty dating site! When you're out in public, resist the urge to use your phone. You won't be approached by anyone if they think you're busy.

Start off the decade on the right foot and throw yourself a fabulous party. Ushering in your thirties in a positive way can help you consider all of the wonderful things that may happen in the next decade. Have confidence in everything you’ve learned during your twenties and believe that you can apply this knowledge to be successful in your thirties. By cultivating and projecting confidence in yourself, you can set yourself on the path for self acceptance and success during your thirties.  Confidence comes from many sources, including knowing that you have a good education and training, good relationships, or even that you look good. For example, if you feel that you took great care of your skin in your 20s, be confidence in the fact that you probably don’t have many wrinkles. You can also be confident if you finished your education or started a good job, or even had healthy children. It’s important to know that even if you are confident and successful, that failure is a part of the equation.  Embrace the fact that most people in their thirties feel much more confident and comfortable in themselves, which can help you enjoy yourself and relax. You likely made plans for yourself in your twenties and you should do the same for your thirties. In many cases, your goals or plans may be extension or the culmination of what you set out to do in your twenties. Having plans and goals can help give you a concrete purpose as you move into this new life phase.  Set goals for every aspect of your life: personal, professional, and otherwise. For example, you might want to start a family in your thirties or finally get your PhD. Give yourself short- and long-term goals to achieve and reassess them every year. Make plans to experience as much of life as you can through travel, education, or even just engaging with your community. Getting involved can help you forget your milestone and help you realize that your thirties are much more fulfilling than your twenties. Many people are in stable jobs or stable living situations by...

Start off with a quick, colorful description of the task at hand. Or, begin with a brief anecdote explaining why the task at hand is so important. Keep your language vibrant and lively. Remember that this is the moment when your reader will decide whether or not they’ll continue to read. For instance, you might write, “The process of preparing lasagna has a rich heritage all of its own.” Most readers won’t have all the time in the world to complete this task, so they’ll want to know right away how long it will take. Be honest and give your reader a true estimate from start to finish. If the task requires multiple materials, you might also let your reader know that they can reduce the timeframe by gathering everything in advance.  If your process essay focuses on a cooking task, this is where you might advise your readers to consult the ingredients or materials list and put every item on the counter. For example, you might write, “This recipe requires 30 minutes of active preparation time, along with 45 minutes of baking time.” The thesis statement should be the last sentence of your introductory paragraph. It is the most important sentence of your paper and tells the reader not only which problem you’ll examine, but it should give them an idea as to how you’ll solve it. This gives your paper a sense of forward motion. For example, your thesis might be, “This essay will explore how to create a complicated lasagna dish in a short period of time by preparing the noodles and sauce in advance.”

Start off with your legs a little wider than shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent and relaxed. Keep your shoulders back and arch your back slightly so that your butt is sticking out. Don't stick your butt out purposely, it will happen naturally when you arch your back Your lower back should now be in a straight line. In other words, your lower back should be at about 90 degrees -- not bent forward or backward. Your shoulders, however, should come forward slightly, and your knees should still be bent. As you do this, roll your pelvis back. Arch your lower back and push your chest forward and your shoulders back. This should help you pop your butt out. Practice rolling your hips back if necessary. Start with your hips vertical at 90 degrees. Then, arch your back and roll your hips back. Start off slowly to get the technique down and then gradually increase your speed. Try to do the booty pop as fast as you can without compromising your form. Beyoncé's signature booty pop includes simultaneous pumping of the arms. To nail this move, start off holding your arms up at your chest with your elbows bent at about 45 degrees with the inside of your wrists facing toward you. Your hands should be in loose fists. When you pop your butt out, pull your arms apart slightly and push your chest forward. When you tuck your butt back under, bring your arms back toward each other and your shoulders forward. Continue this simultaneous movement. Beyonce occasionally jumps into her booty popping move. To do this, stand in your normal stance with your feet shoulder width apart. Then, simply hop forward slightly and immediately start shaking your butt in the manner described. Reserve this move after you've mastered all the other steps.

Start out nice and easy in a safe location like your neighborhood before tackling more difficult terrain like hills. Once you get more comfortable, you can begin biking in more high-traffic areas.  Stick to flat areas at the beginning. Try a local park or bike trail, or find a route using a website like traillink.com. When you first start biking, you may not be able to travel more than a few miles. Stay close to home so that you don’t get stranded. You should be able to bike a few miles within a month or so. Sprinting with high resistance will burn more calories. Riding at a more leisurely pace with low resistance will help build endurance. However, a combination of the two is actually your best bet. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that alternating between sprinting and endurance burns more calories.  Ride on hills! Champion cyclist Rebecca Rusch uses standing hill drills (that is, alternating between standing and sitting while pedalling up a hill) to build her endurance. Ride harder at the very end.  Try spin classes at your local gym, or consider hiring a trainer. Plan on riding hard one day and then doing a more leisurely “recovery ride” or some cross-training the next. You should plan entire days off too.  Make sure you’re getting enough sleep and giving yourself breaks between cycling sessions. According to Stacy T. Sims, exercise physiologist at Stanford and founder of Osmo Nutrition, sleep deprivation can lead to false hunger and unnecessary cravings. Consider getting a massage on your day off. Determine your target weight and estimate how long it will take you to reach this goal. Biking for weight loss is a long-term strategy. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see immediate results.  Losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is a sensible, achievable goal. Use an online BMI calculator to help determine your ideal weight.

Start pumping air into the rocket via the bike pump. Before long, the pressure should increase to the point that the rocket is propelled into the sky overhead. If the rocket does not launch, it is probably because it is not airtight. Make sure there are not any holes in the bottle. If there are, patch them up with duct tape. If not, the cork is probably not sealing the bottle tightly enough. Try applying hot glue or industrial strength glue around the lip of the bottle. You may also have drilled too wide a hole in the cork, in which case you will need to try again with another cork and a narrower drill bit.

Start rolling the paper from the bottom left corner towards the upper right corner. When you are halfway across the sheet of paper, pause, and coat the edges of the paper with glue. You don't have to do this, but it will make the wand sturdier.  Liquid glue will work the best, but a glue stick or double-sided tape may also work. If you don't have time to roll paper into a wand, you can use a paper straw for the wand base instead. Coat the upper right corner of the paper with more glue, then smooth the corner down onto the wand. Secure the corner with tape or a clip until the glue dries. Once the glue dries, remove the tape/clip. You can also secure the corner with a strip of double-sided tape instead. Use a sharp pair of scissors to do this. If the scissors crush the wand, you can push it back into shape by poking a skewer or knitting needle into it. You don't have to do this, but it will make your wand look more interesting. You can paint it with acrylic paint or with spray paint. Paint one side first, let it dry, then paint the other side. To make the paint last longer, consider coating the want with sealer. You can use the spray-on or the brush-on kind. Place a drop of glue at the end of the ribbon, then press the ribbon against the tip of the wand. Wrap the ribbon tightly around the wand in a spiral, like on a candy cane. When you reach the end of the wand, cut off the excess ribbon, then glue the end down. You can make the stripes as far apart or as close together as you want.  Your ribbon can be as thick or as thin as you want it to be. Something between ¼ and ½ inch (6 and 13 millimeters) wide would work the best.  You can also use colored or patterned washi tape instead of ribbon.  For something different, decorate the handle with glitter glue inside. Let the glue dry before moving on. You don't have to do this, but it will give your wand a nice touch. It will also help cover the hole at the bottom of the wand. If you don't have any rhinestones, you can use a pretty button, charm, or glass gem...

Start saving up empty toilet paper rolls and keep a box of dryer sheets handy for when you want to smoke without anyone knowing. You can blow your smoke into the dryer sheet-stuffed tube and it will pass through smelling like the dryer sheets. You can also use an empty 20-ounce soda bottle with the bottom removed. These work great since the bottle is already made to fit in your mouth. Ensure that they're evenly spread between each opening so that the smoke will have to pass through the dryer sheets. If you are making a sploof from a soda bottle, use six or seven dryer sheets. After you take a drag on your cigarette or pipe, place one end of the toilet paper roll over your mouth and exhale into the tube. Make sure that you blow all of smoke into the tube. When the smoke comes out on the other side, it will smell dryer fresh. If you can't make a sploof, simply blow your smoke into a damp towel, t-shirt or other fabric. The moist material will absorb the smoke and its odor. Be sure you use fabric that's not frequently used and launder it immediately after you smoke.

Start sleeping in the nude. It’s not as unusual as it may sound—many people prefer feeling unrestrained when they go to bed at night. If you share a room with someone else, be considerate before you simply bare it all. You may have to have a talk with your roommate about your preferred sleeping arrangement to find out if they would have an issue with you being naked in the same room. Sleeping naked can keep you cooler and make you more relaxed as you’re drifting off to sleep. Take advantage of an empty house by shedding your clothes when you’re the only one home. You can prance around in the buff all you want without having to worry about offending anyone. Just make sure you know when everyone is expected back to prevent any awkward surprises.  You could also wait until everyone else is asleep to get loose of your garments. Avoid open windows while you’re naked at home. There’s a big difference between going natural and giving the neighbors a show. If you have your own room, make it known that you prefer to go naked when you’re alone. You might put up a sign announcing that if you’re in your room with the door closed, you’re probably not wearing any clothes. You could also simply inform your family members about your choice to go nude and request that they knock before barging in.  Depending on your family’s own privacy rules, you could always just lock the door when you need to let your body breathe. Have some clothes nearby that are easy to slip in and out of in case you need to go back and forth from your room frequently. Assuming you’re not the shy type and don’t mind your loved ones seeing you at your most vulnerable, take small steps toward gaining your family's permission to go without clothes. Ask the people you live with how they would feel about casual nudity before trying it out to avoid creating an awkward environment. If they’re agreeable to the idea, you can appear naked more often, little by little, until it just becomes a fact of your household.  Breach the topic by asking an earnest question...

Start the game off with an extra row of six free face-up cards in reserve. These cards may be played at any time throughout the game. Keep in mind that the reserve row isn't replenished; you only get six reserve cards per game. Try using a reserve row if you're having trouble winning the basic game. As you build your pyramid, try spacing out the cards differently to create new and unique patterns. You don't necessarily need a perfect pyramid to create a playable game. You could also make a pyramid with essentially the same layout as the basic game but with an extra row, making the base eight cards wide. Only allow yourself to go through your stock once. Waste cards can never return to the stock, and the only way to go back through your waste is to match each top card. This adds a challenge to the game if you find yourself getting too good at it. In addition to the extra difficulty, this variation has more unwinnable hands.
