Many natural breast enhancement products, such as breast creams and dietary supplements, have little effect on changing your breasts and may actually be harmful. Many medications interact poorly with such products and no medical research exists that indicates they work. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure in which breast size is increased by the insertion of breast implants. Breast augmentation is usually performed by a plastic surgeon. There are a variety of reasons for augmentation, from simply desiring larger or firmer breasts to reconstructing breasts after losing them to medical conditions such as cancer. While many women are happy after a breast augmentation surgery, keep in mind it carries some risks. Learn about the negative aspects of breast augmentation surgery before deciding if it's the right choice for you.  As with any surgery, there's a risk of complication. Scarring, infection, breast pain, and changes in breast sensation can occur.  Breast augmentation is expensive and is generally not covered by insurance. Getting mammograms after surgery can be complicated as you'll need specialized machinery.  Breast implants do not last a lifetime. They do not prevent sagging of breasts with age. Weight loss or weight gain can affect the appearance of your breasts even with implants. If you decide breast augmentation is right for you, you need to prepare for the surgery. There is also a recovery period afterwards.  Your doctor will go over how you should care for yourself in the weeks leading up to the surgery. Your pre-surgical routine depends on your age, lifestyle, and overall health.  During healing, your breasts will be sensitive and there may be some leaking or scarring. You may have to wear a compression bandage, which will need to be changed regularly. Avoid strenuous activity for at least two weeks after the procedure. If increasing your breast size seems too intense, a skilled cosmetic surgeon can enhance the appearance of your breasts by making them perkier and more shapely. A breast...

Many newer ballcock assemblies, which control the water as it flows into the tank from the water pipes and connects the floating arm and flapper assembly together, are sealed, making it difficult or impossible to take apart and repair. These models will just need replaced by removing the threaded screws and replacing it with a similar model.  Unscrew the floating arm from the assembly after turning off the water and flushing the tank. Then remove the entire assembly from the overfill tube (the tall tube that keeps water from overflowing the tank). The perk of a plastic assembly is that it won't corrode and it costs less, but you can't fix it if something goes wrong. A metal assembly is sturdier and you can try to repair it. Choose what works best for you if the assembly needs replacing. On most older metal models, a couple of thumbscrews will hold the valve together. Unscrew them, revealing the washers or gaskets in between the valve parts. Examine them. If any of these is worn out or broken, it will allow water to seep through and could be the cause of the toilet running. If that seems to be the problem, simply replace the gaskets and reassemble the ballcock assembly. If not, you'll need to remove the entire assembly. This should be what's keeping the assembly in the tank. You'll need to unscrew it from both sides with an adjustable wrench and lift the assembly free. At this point, you should tighten the arms of the ballcock assembly, testing to make sure the arm functions and nothing seems to be broken, missing, or misaligned. If you don't see anything wrong but the toilet is still running and none of the other maintenance options have helped, you'll just need to replace the assembly with a new one. Typically, they'll cost anywhere between $10-$30. Follow the reverse of the steps you followed in removing the assembly, screwing it in tightly and re-affixing the floating arm (though, it'll probably come with a new float arm and possibly a new flapper). Turn the water back on and let the toilet run for a few...

Many of us unwittingly place ourselves in the victim role by denying our own anger and projecting it on to others instead. When we project our anger on to others, we may unreasonably anticipate aggression from them when they’ve given no real signs of it. Instead of denying your emotions, experience them. Do so without labelling them good or bad, right or wrong.  Avoid trying to rationalize your anger. To do so may only cement you further into your victimized feelings. It's okay to feel angry, but it's more healthy to let it go and move on rather than trying to rationalize it and/or act on it.  People who dwell on their anger and try to justify it will often distort the reality around them to match their thoughts, for example, by misreading other people’s facial expressions to reflect what they feel as opposed to the reality of a situation. When we feel entitled and that the world owes us good things, we feel cheated when we don’t get these things. This leads to anger and feelings of helplessness (i.e. feeling victimized).  Psychologists recommend removing words like “fair,” “should,” “right,” and "wrong," from your vocabulary. These words suggest expectations, and when those aren’t met, you feel frustrated and victimized. Release those expectations and feelings of entitlement. Nobody owes you anything.  As an example of how this might work, imagine that your best friend’s parents paid for her schooling, while you had to finance your own way through school. While you struggle to repay your enormous student loan, she is able to spend her money on things like travel, clothes, a new car — she even has a much nicer apartment than you do. Rather than feeling cheated, angry, and resentful toward her, your parents, and maybe even the rest of the world, you can choose to acknowledge the anger and move on. It’s great that she isn’t in debt; it’s not so great that you are in debt. But it’s not right or wrong. And it's not fair or unfair. It just is. You will be happier and more successful in life if you just accept both...

Many older adults feel lonely and isolated. If living in a nursing facility or alone, they may feel distant or cut off from friends and family.  Social contact is a major factor that contributes to preventing and recovering from depression. Being close to loved ones can make a huge difference in one’s overall well-being.  If family lives far away, consider staying connected through the phone or through video calling online. Connect with other elderly people and make friends. Create activities to do together such as sharing dinner or watching a movie together. Some elderly people may feel like they have no reason to live. They have see their identity as being a mother or father, or as a career-person. Now that the kids are grown and they are retired, it may feel like there is no sense of purpose. Instead of having a role to fill, choose your own role that you want.  If there’s no sense of purpose, create one. It can be as simple as “I choose to live every moment in fun and enjoyment” or “I want to devote my time to learning a new skill, like playing the violin” or “I now focus my efforts onto the grandchildren.” Take care of a pet, such as a cat or a dog. Make time for enjoyable things to help cope with symptoms of depression.  Think of pastimes that used to bring you pleasure, and go do them. These may include biking, crocheting, gardening, or cooking. You can take a walk or enjoy some time in nature. Laughing gives an automatic mood boost, so find as many opportunities to laugh as possible. Invite friends or family over and tell funny stories, and play board games with friends. As people age, they may experience more and more loss. Parents, siblings, partners, and friends may begin to pass away more frequently. Dealing with loss after loss can be difficult, especially if many significant people have passed. While it’s normal to be sad and to grieve the loss, look out for symptoms of depression. If the person appears to lose all sense of hope and joy, it may be more than grieving. For more information on how...

Many online jewelers offer tables that help you convert inches and centimeters into ring sizes. Print the table out, or simply bookmark the page so you can refer to it when you need to. You can also walk into a jeweler’s store near you to ask if they offer these tables.  These tables will have rows and columns that list measurements next to ring sizes so you can easily convert the diameter of your finger to a standard ring size.  Here is an example of a table you can find online: https://www.justmensrings.com/mens-ring-size-chart Use paper that is sturdy enough not to rip but also easy to wrap around something. The paper you use in your printer should work well. When cutting the paper with scissors, just estimate how long it needs to be to wrap around your finger. It doesn’t need to be an exact length or width. You must wrap it around the finger you plan to wear your ring on, otherwise the size will be inaccurate. Don’t wrap it around where your ring will actually sit, since your ring will need to be wide enough to fit over your knuckle. When you’re done tightening the piece of paper, make sure you can move it easily past your knuckle in both directions. Make your mark on the top part of the paper. Your line should show exactly where the edge of the bottom half of the paper is hitting the top half. If you’re having trouble making this mark while holding the paper in place, ask a friend or family member for help. For greater accuracy, measure the piece of paper in centimeters rather than inches. This is the measurement you’ll need to figure out your size. Find your measurement on the left-hand side of the table you're using. Then look down the row to the column that tells you your ring size. Some tables will give the sizes for different international markets, so make sure you’re looking at the size that applies to you. Start the process again with a new piece of paper. If you get the same measurement, you can be confident that you found your ring size. If you get a different measurement, try a third time. If...

Many over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide are available without a prescription. However, some prescription-strength acne medications contain benzoyl peroxide as well. The medicine you use will depend on the severity of your acne, and only a doctor or dermatologist is qualified to advise on the best treatment for your skin.  Benzoyl peroxide comes in many forms, including liquid soap, bar soap, lotion, cream, and even foam. Common brand names containing benzoyl peroxide available in the U.S. include Acne, Acne 10 Gel, Acne Wash, Benzac, Benzagel, Benziq, and Brevoxyl. Benzoyl peroxide may irritate the skin. If you're using an over-the-counter product for the first time, it's best to test a small amount on one or two isolated areas of your skin for several days to determine whether you'll have a negative reaction. Even if you don't have a negative reaction, it's best to proceed with some degree of caution. Never use benzoyl peroxide on skin that is windburned, sunburned, cracked, or cut unless your doctor tells you it is safe to do so. If you're using a cream, gel, or lotion form of benzoyl peroxide, you'll want to follow the instructions closely. Make sure your skin is clean before using this product, and only use as much as the instructions indicate.  Use a non-medicated soap and clean, lukewarm water to wash the affected area before using benzoyl peroxide. When you're finished, gently pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel. Apply only enough cream/lotion/gel to cover the affected area(s), or however much your doctor recommended in his or her instructions. If you're using a benzoyl peroxide product that comes in a soap or cleansing lotion/bar form, you won't need to wash your face before applying it. Simply follow the directions on the package and only use as much of the product as the instructions or your doctor recommended.

Many people all over the world enjoy adding milk and sugar to their tea. These additions can turn a stout, bitter cup of tea into a sweet and creamy delight. Sugar can be added to any kind of tea to give it a sweet flavor boost. However, only Oolong tea and Black tea are enjoyed with milk. Sugar can be substituted for any kind of sweetener. Popular natural sweeteners include honey, molasses, maple syrup, and brown rice syrup. Cold tea is a wonderful drink to enjoy during hot summer days. First, brew a cup or pot of tea. Once the tea is done steeping, remove the tea bags or diffuser and allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Next, fill a tall glass with ice. Carefully pour the cooled tea over the ice to make a tall glass of ice-cold tea.  Add any sweeteners to the hot tea before pouring it over the ice. Sweeteners such as sugar and honey are more easily incorporated into warm liquids than cold liquids. Avoid pouring hot tea into a glass full of ice. The temperature differences can cause the glass to crack. In the past, socialites from all over the world have enjoyed serving tea at social events. You can either provide tea at an event or host an event that centers around the tea itself. For example:  Host an “Afternoon Tea” party. This is a British tradition involving a pot of tea, a few friends, and some light snacks. Everyone sits around the teapot, serving themselves tea and gossiping.  Provide a pot of hot tea, a small pitcher of milk, and some sugar to your guests after a dinner party. This will allow them to relax after a good meal.

Many people associate round eyes with a cute look. If you want to go for sexy or sophisticated over cute, go for a dark eyeshadow. A shade like gray or black can really help stave off the cute look. Apply the shadow to both corners of your eye. Round eyes often look sunken in. A good way to avoid this is to use different types of mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes. Use a lighter shade of mascara on the upper lids, and a darker shade on the lower lids. This will make your eyes pop upward more, making them appear brighter and bigger. Round eyes can look somewhat droopy. A good way to counteract this is to make sure you move upward with eyeliner. If you create a wing, always have the tip pointed up. A downward wing can make round eyes look droopier and duller.

Many people believe dreads should not be washed. However, this is not true. Dreads need regular washing starting two weeks after being created. Do not wash your dreads every day, as this can adversely affect their growth, but make a point of washing them once a week.  For the best results, look for shampoos specifically designed to wash dreads. Be sure to rinse thoroughly for 2-5 minutes to make sure there is no shampoo residue left in your dreads. Shampoo that is not properly washed out can cause flaking and drying. Protecting your scalp at night can help your dreads grow faster. Wrap a scarf, blanket, or hair cap over your head at night. Silk caps work particularly well. Do this each night to keep your dreads safe and promote growth. If shedding is an issue, wrapping your hair before bed can also help catch stray hairs. Gently massaging your scalp once a day helps keep your hair healthy, prevent dead skin cells from building up, stimulate blood flow, and promote growth. This will also help you relax. Once a day, gently massage your scalp for about 5 minutes. Once a week, before shampooing, mix castor oil and coconut oil together and apply the mixture to your hair. Let it sit in for about 30 minutes and then wash it out. This may result in your dreads growing faster in a couple of weeks.

Many people believe that if you want bigger muscles, you need to lift heavy weights as quickly as possible, doing as many reps as possible. However, slower reps enable you to concentrate on the muscles you're working and ensure perfect form. With slower rates, you also have the opportunity to take your muscles through their full range of motion, leading to more even growth. Fast reps and slow reps both have their place, provided you can lift rapidly with proper form. Varying the speed of your reps introduces an element of surprise so your muscles don't adapt to the same movement.  For example, you might start with a moderately paced set, then move to a fast set, then move to a slow set, then go back to a moderately paced set. Don't lift any faster than you can with proper form. Make sure that on the fast reps you aren't cheating the movement but are going through your full range of motion. If you're trying to accelerate muscle growth, you need to lift the heaviest possible weight you can lift for the number of repetitions you have planned. Your muscles won't grow unless they are adequately challenged.  Make sure you can lift the weight with proper form for the given exercise. If you can't complete the range of motion in the exercise, choose a lower weight. Using heavier weights typically means fewer repetitions. However, using the heaviest possible weight you can use with 8 to 10 repetitions is one way to significantly accelerate muscle growth. Muscle growth doesn't happen while you're working out – it happens while your muscles are recovering. You should leave at least 48 hours between exercising a particular muscle group to give the muscles adequate time to recover and grow. Create a regimen that targets specific muscles groups on specific days to enable rest days for other muscle groups. For example, you may have leg day on Monday, work your arms and shoulders on Tuesday, work your core on Wednesday, and then work your legs again on Thursday. You should be testing your max weights every few weeks, or at...

Many people can't interpret hunger cues, leading them to think they’re hungry when they’re not. If your hunger recognition is off, you can use some tricks to learn how to tell when you’re hungry.  Think about when you last ate. Hunger cycles peak every 90 minutes or so, but if you ate within the last 2 or 3 hours, you’re probably not really hungry. (Obviously, you may have different hunger needs if you're an athlete or if your job is very physical.) Chart your hunger on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is “totally full” and 10 is “I might die if I don’t get a pizza right now.” You may not be very accurate with this at first, but thinking about the scale will help you learn to think about your hunger in context. Watch for physical cues. A rumbling stomach, headache, feeling weak or shaky, or feeling tired for unexplainable reasons may all be signs that you need to eat. Think about whether you’re hungry or just experiencing a craving. In many cases, if you’re craving a particular food, such as chocolate or macaroni and cheese, you may just want comfort from a specific taste. Research shows that how you think about what you eat and drink affects how full you feel. One study presented the same liquid as a soup and then as a beverage. People rated the soup as more filling even though they were given the exact same amount of the exact same liquid! You’re more likely to feel “full” if you think of what you’ve eaten as a meal rather than a snack.  Putting everything you eat, including snacks, on a plate may help you control mindless eating. Using small plates will help you control portion sizes, too. Try scheduling your snacks to help you cut down. If you’re “supposed” to be eating at a particular time, you may be more mindful of what you consume. If you find yourself eating a lot between meals, try making your meals more filling. Research shows that feeling full, or “satiated,” makes you less likely to overeat. Foods with a lot of fiber, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, will help you feel full for a longer...

Many people feel strongly for or against trancing, and it’s best to hear what your vet has to say regarding your rabbit. If your rabbit suffers from many health issues, this is especially important -- putting a rabbit in a trance can be very hazardous to their health, but at the same time it can allow you to inspect a rabbit’s body for problems. Listen to what your vet says before deciding. If you believe your rabbit has been injured but you cannot find out where, or if you need to dress a wound, trancing might be your best option. If you’re just hoping to have an easier time clipping their nails or grooming them, it might not be worth it. It also might depend on the rabbit -- some rabbits seem to come out of it calm, while others are shaking in fear Watch the video at the end of this article. If you're nervous, ask a friend or family member to be present before you begin. It’s important that you be confident in your motions when dealing with your rabbit -- it will be able to sense if you are nervous or stressed.

Many people find talking to professionals about hard things can be helpful. Professionals have seen many different kinds of stepparent situations before. They’ll likely have practical suggestions on how to cope. A counselor or therapist that focuses specifically on children and teenagers can be a great resource for you.  Professionals are people who aren’t personally involved with your situation, and who have years of expertise in helping people get through hard times. They are outside the relationships that bind your family and can often help you understand your situation in a new way. The advantages of talking to your friends and family members about your stepmom is that you’re likely spending time and talking to them anyway - you don’t have to schedule a special time or go out of your way. Your friends and family will have a personal investment in your happiness.  Because your friends and family won’t be neutral about the situation with your stepmom, their advice might not be as helpful. The best advice often comes from people without a personal connection to the situation. It’s best to have a combination of people, including friends, families, and professional counselors to help you. If you are part of a faith community, consider asking an adult in this community for support. Many times priests, rabbis, ministers and others have training in counseling in addition to their religious education. If you are unsure how to relate to your stepmom, ask your dad if you can sit down and discuss it with him. It’s best if you explain your frustrations clearly, without getting angry. Most likely, your father will have some good ideas. You might need to talk to your counselor or friend about the best ways to approach him. Consider the following:  ”Dad, I’m feeling confused and sad. It’s a lot harder to adjust to having a stepmom than I thought. Do you have any good ideas?” ”I’m not sure how to treat my stepmom. She’s not my real mom, but she’s also not just your girlfriend anymore. What do you think I should do?” ”I...

Many people judge confidence based on how you carry yourself and present yourself to others.  You can appear confident and appealing to people by displaying open body language. This will help you project a sense of self-worth and draw more positive attention in a room full of people.  Displaying open body language means maintaining eye contact with the person you are addressing and with people in the room. Eye contact can be a big indicator of confidence. You should also take a relaxed stance, with your arms resting at your sides. Try to stand straight, with your shoulders rolled back. When you are speaking to someone, you should position your body so you are turned towards them and lean in so you can show them you are engaged in the conversation. Avoid slouching when seated or standing and do not cross your arms over your chest. These are all signs of closed body language, signaling to others that you are not approachable or willing to be social. You may find people prefer being around those who are positive and proactive. You should try to project a positive attitude so people find you appealing and fun to be around. You may work on developing a happy demeanor and focus on positive habits, rather than negative ones, so you are someone that people enjoy spending time with.  You can be a positive addition to a conversation by telling a joke or a funny story. Using humor to communicate positivity can add levity and spontaneity to your interactions with others. You can also be a positive person by being empathetic towards the needs of others and by being a good listener. Showing empathy for someone will demonstrate that you can put your ego aside and focus on how you can best help and support that person. This is often appealing to people and is a strong quality of a good friend. .

Many people may be interested in using hemp protein outside the athlete or weight loss arena.  It's a great supplement to also improve your protein intake.  Most people need about 0.8 to 1 g of protein per kg of body weight.  Calculate how many grams of protein you need each day with this formula. If you're a vegan or vegetarian or just a picky eater, using hemp protein powder can be a nutritious method to help meet your protein needs. If you're having trouble meeting your protein needs, use hemp protein powder in shakes, smoothies or snacks to help you get in more protein throughout the day. Add these types of hemp protein-based supplements to your current diet, not in place of meals.  This will boost your protein intake throughout the day. In addition to helping you meet protein needs everyday, using hemp protein can also help you sneak in extra nutrition throughout the day.  Again, using hemp protein shakes, smoothies or other snacks is an excellent way to hide or add in extra nutrition to your day. These ideas will be great for picky eaters, those who don't like many fruits or vegetables or those who just have difficulty staying on track with a nutritious diet. Ideas to add in more nutrition include:  making a protein shake blended with fruit, dark greens, nuts, seeds or even avocado.  You can also make smoothies and use ice for a thicker and creamier consistency. There are also recipes using hemp protein powder to make brownies that have avocado or even black beans incorporated. If you're not trying to lose weight, but actually trying to gain weight, hemp protein powder can be an easy way to get in some extra calories throughout the day.  If you need to gain weight, you might be tempted to overindulge in unhealthy, high calorie, high fat foods (like candies, fried foods or fast foods).

Many people only think about their health when it is in danger; don't wait until you are sick or injured to care for your body. Making healthy food choices on a daily basis is one of the best ways to maintain your cardiovascular health, improve your energy levels, and keep your muscles and bones strong. A healthy diet should be high in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, and low in excess sugar, fat, and alcohol.  Citrusy fruits like oranges, tangerines, and tomatoes contain Vitamin C, which helps protect the immune system.  Eat chicken, turkey, salmon, tofu, and other lean meats. These foods are rich in protein without the extra fat that is found in red meats and shrimp. Other protein sources included quinoa, kidney beans, and black beans. Getting enough exercise improves your cardiovascular health, and greatly reduces the likelihood of certain chronic diseases.. Exercise increases the flow of blood through different parts of the body, and it increases the body's excretion of harmful metabolites, helping your immune system function properly, and may even decrease your chances of developing heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. So run, bike, swim, walk -- whatever gets you moving!  Children and adolescents aged 6-17 should get 60 minutes of exercise per day. Most of this time should be spent doing aerobic activities, while the rest of the time should be spent doing muscle-toning activities.   Adults aged 18-64 need at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of aerobic exercise each week and at least two days per week of muscle strengthening activities like lifting weights.   Older adults aged 65 or older with no existing medical conditions should do at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate exercise like brisk walking, and two or more days of muscle strengthening exercises. .

Many people overlook the role hamstrings play in supporting your lower back. If you have lower back pain, tight or shortened hamstrings may be to blame.  Lay on your back on the floor, facing a wall or the side of a couch or chair. Raise one leg so that it is extended with the heel resting on the wall or piece of furniture. Stay in this position for 20 to 30 seconds, breathing deeply, then switch to the other leg. You can do a similar stretch with both feet up the wall if you want to stretch both hamstrings at the same time. You may want to place a rolled towel under your lower back for support. Walking is a low-impact activity that is generally easy on your back. If you're new to fitness and exercise, a walking regimen can be a great way to start moving into an active lifestyle. Being more active can improve your health overall as well as decreasing your lower back pain. Depending on your overall fitness level, you may want to start with brief 10- or 15-minute walks. Gradually increase the time and distance of your walks until you are walking for 35 to 45 minutes a day, 3 to 5 days a week. Start by lying on your stomach propped up on your elbows with your forearms flat on the floor. Engage your abdominal muscles and raise your body flat off the floor until you are supported solely by your forearms and your toes. Hold the position for 20 seconds to a minute, then lower and repeat. Gradually increase the amount of time you hold your plank to build your core muscles. Your core muscles act as a natural corset to keep your torso erect and your spine straight. The stronger your core is, the less strain you'll put on your back. If you strengthen your lower back muscles specifically, they'll be able to handle a lot more without getting overworked and sore. Simple bodyweight exercises can strengthen your lower back without the need for a gym membership or fancy workout equipment.  Knee rolls strengthen the core muscles on either side of your spine. Lie on your back with your arms straight out from your shoulders and...

Many people place a cold, wet tea bag over puffy eyes. This works simply because of the cold temperature. Different practitioners swear by black tea, green tea, or various herbal varieties. Many of these have not been studied, but caffeine — the ingredient most likely to work — seems to have no effect. A washcloth is probably just as effective and has a lower risk of bacterial infection. Cucumber slices are one of the most common treatments for puffy eyes. This is effective, but only because of the cucumber's cool temperature.  It's best to use a cold washcloth or ice pack to reduce the chance of bacterial infection from food. If you do use a food treatment, rinsed cucumber is probably one of the safest. Stay away from potatoes, egg whites, yogurt, and acidic food such as strawberries or lemon juice. Some home remedies are dangerous to use around your eyes, due to the risk of severe pain or damage. Do not treat puffy eyes with hemorrhoid cream (Preparation H), heat rubs (BenGay, Icy Hot), or hydrocortisone.

Many people who deal with anxiety sweating get caught in a vicious cycle: they worry about sweating, which in turn causes anxiety and makes them sweat, which makes them worry even more about their sweating. If this happens to you, it's time to break the cycle! Remind yourself that sweating is perfectly normal and not a big deal at all so you won't get so anxious about it. Exercise releases endorphins in your body, which can help reduce anxiety. Incorporating regular exercise, such as jogging, into your schedule can help you stay calm and manage your anxiety. Keep in mind that most forms of exercise will cause you to sweat, so only exercise when you know you will have time to shower afterwards. When you begin to experience anxiety, you can work to fight it off by practicing relaxation techniques. These techniques will help divert attention from your anxiety, helping your anxiety-related symptoms (including sweating) subside faster.  Many people find deep breathing very helpful for reducing anxiety. This technique forces you to focus your attention on your breathing so that you no longer focus on the thoughts that are triggering your anxiety. Visualizing calmness may also help. Simply imagine a situation in which you would be very calm, and try to replace all of the anxious thoughts you are having with thoughts about the calm situation. If you are unable to control your anxiety on your own, make an appointment with a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. This kind of therapy will help you recognize the source of your anxiety and learn effective techniques for combating it. Your therapist may also recommend that you take medications to help control your anxiety.

Many people who report feeling younger than their age report spending time with people they care about. Make special outings with your family and friends a priority in your life. Try scheduling dinners, shopping trips, or just meeting for coffee.  By focusing on the lives of your family and friends, you're less likely to feel isolated and alone. If you live close to your family, consider scheduling "family time" as a regular part of every day. Schedule "game nights" with your friends, or join them for club meetings or events. People who feel young usually report feeling as if they have something to offer their communities. As a result, they feel valued and appreciated.Local schools, hospitals, and community groups are great places to volunteer.  Consider volunteering to take meals through organizations such as Meals-on-Wheels, or tutoring a young person in academic skills. Retired business people might volunteer for SCORE which mentors fledgling business owners. If you enjoy reading, consider joining a book group at your local library or bookstore. If you speak a second language, many times there are conversational groups that meet in the community. Other options include movie groups, religious communities, or craft groups.  If you've never had the opportunity to explore your interests, visit groups and ask questions of its members. People are usually quite happy to talk about their hobbies. If you can't find a group centered around your interests, consider finding like-minded people online. While connecting with people online isn't the same as spending time with them in person, social groups online are increasingly popular among people of all ages. In addition, this can be a wonderful way to connect with distant family members and friends who you don't get to see often.  Learn to use social media, and share pictures and videos with your family and friends. Because younger people tend to be more fluent in using computers for social interaction, you'll likely feel younger simply by becoming familiar with...

Many people who suffer from social anxiety tend to avoid their fears rather than facing up to them. Although this can help to alleviate social anxiety in the short-term, it can actually make the anxiety worse in the long-run. Facing your fears is always difficult and requires a lot of bravery and determination, but if you want to cure your anxiety it is something you must do. Once you’ve identified your triggers, write them down. Then, look at your list and arrange the triggers from least threatening to most threatening. At the bottom of the list might be making eye contact while speaking, in the middle may be asking a stranger for directions; the top of the list might be asking someone to a dinner date or singing karaoke. If you struggle to rank your fears, try assigning them numbers. Give a 1 to "scary" triggers, a 2 to "quite scary," and a 3 to "terrifying." Make a goal to tackle one list item every week. Start with the items you gave a “1” rating, and work up the list. You want to start with the more manageable items first and build your confidence as you attempt more and more challenging items.  Remember that you get credit for just trying--you may need more than one attempt to succeed. Every 'failure' is one step closer to succeeding.  People with anxiety tend to take an "all or nothing" approach--either you summon up the courage to ask to sit next to someone at the coffeeshop, or you fail forever. If you did not do it today, try again tomorrow or next week. You may have to break down big goals into little goals. For instance, if you are finding it difficult to ask to sit next to someone at the coffeeshop, you may need to find a smaller, related goal. Maybe smile at a stranger at the coffeeshop? Or sit kind of close to a stranger? For some people, it may be to even go in the cafe at all!   Start with small, easily reached goals. It may be too daunting to even start at a "1". It is better to gain confidence through baby steps than to try to bite off too much at once. Treat the list as cumulative. If you...

Many people who take a statin assume they don’t have to make any further lifestyle changes to manage high cholesterol. However, it’s vital to eat a healthy diet, even if you take a statin.  Swap saturated and trans fats for healthier fats, such as olive, peanut, and other vegetable oils. Go for fish and leaner meats instead of red meat, like beef steaks or burgers. Eat more fruits and veggies, and do your best to avoid sweets and junk food. Eat a healthy breakfast, like fortified, low-sugar whole grain cereal and a piece of fruit. For lunch, have a baked salmon fillet over mixed greens. Have a small handful of unsalted nuts for a midday snack. For dinner, go for chicken breast, steamed veggies, and brown rice. Walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling are great aerobic exercises for managing cholesterol. You should also incorporate resistance training, or strength training exercises, into your workout routine.  You could run or cycle for 30 to 60 minutes on Mondays and Wednesdays, do upper body strength training on Tuesdays and Fridays, and work out your legs on Thursdays and Saturdays. On your strength training days, warm up with a brisk 15 minute jog. Ask your doctor for advice about starting an exercise routine, especially if you have a history of heart or joint issues. if you're a smoker. Talk to your doctor about smoking cessation methods. In addition to numerous other health benefits, quitting could increase your HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Quitting will also decrease your risk of heart disease. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure and heart problems. Along with high cholesterol, these health issues are causes for serious concern. Further, drinking more than 1 to 2 alcoholic beverages a day while you take a statin can lead to kidney or liver damage.

Many people who would happily send their cousin an email soliciting a donation for their crowdfunding campaign are reluctant to make the same approach in person. Many others will have solicited their family members for donations before anyone else.  The advantage of going to family for donations is that they can take into account factors like your determination and overall character when considering loaning you money. They also don’t usually charge interest. The disadvantage is that you’ll probably know them for a long time to come, and adding loaned money into the family dynamic can create tension. There is no helpful script to give a person in this situation. You know your family. You know the kind of appeal they will sympathize with. Just give it some forethought, explain the work you've put in already, and how a certain amount of money will help you get to the goal. Two types of hybrid financing to consider are peer-to-peer lending and equity crowdfunding. Both combine features of crowdfunding with another type of lending, and they can be a good option for individuals who are struggling to get financing in other ways.  Equity crowdfunding combines features of crowd funding with angel investing. Like crowdfunding, the borrower makes a pitch to a wide audience on an online platform. Like angel investing, the investor loans money on the basis of getting a stake in the business. Some popular platforms are AngelList, Fundable, and EquityNet.  Peer to peer lending combines the wide audience of a crowdfunding platform with personal lending. The peer to peer platform vets the borrowers for a minimum level of creditworthiness. If they pass, then they make a pitch and receive a personal loan if there is any interest in their project. Some popular platforms are Prosper, Peerform, Upstart, and Kiva. While the terms of personal loans are usually only a little better than a credit card, the borrower can often access more, which sometimes makes them attractive. Don’t be fooled though, some of the loans have harsher...

Many people with curly or kinky hair have switched from regular shampooing to the co-wash method. They have found that washing with conditioner instead of shampoo gets it just as clean without drying it out. Conditioner moisturizes coils and keeps them in good shape, rather than pulling them apart.  Look for a conditioner that does not contain silicones. These make your hair shiny at first, but eventually they build up and leave curls looking weighed down and dull. If you choose to use shampoo, get one that's sulfate-free or is labeled as moisturizing or nourishing. Sulfates are a cleansing agent that dry out hair, cause frizz, and they wreak havoc on a curly head. This seals your hair's cuticle so that your hair will stay hydrated even after your hair is dry. Working section by section, smooth your oil or finishing butter of choice into your curls, finger combing so that the curls stay intact. The following oils and butters are popular choices:  Argan oil Shea butter Cocoa butter Creams that contain one of the above ingredients Curl-defining serums The styling products you use have the potential to dry out your hair and create frizz. Before you use hairspray, gel, and other styling products, test them on just one small section of hair to see the results before you cover your entire head with it. Avoid products with alcohol as an ingredient.

Many people worry about having too much cortisol, since elevated levels of cortisol can lead to weight gain, fatigue, and more serious symptoms. But having too little cortisol can be just as harmful to your health. If your adrenal glands are damaged or if you have adrenal fatigue syndrome, your body might not be producing a sufficient amount of cortisol to properly regulate your blood pressure and immune system. Here are common symptoms of cortisol deficiency:  Weight loss and low appetite Low blood pressure Fainting Fatigue Low levels of energy even when rested Vomiting, nausea and gastrointestinal pain Salt cravings   Hyperpigmentation (dark spots on the skin) Muscle weakness or pain Irritability and depression Heart palpitations Lack of enthusiasm For women, body hair loss and decreased libido If you suspect your cortisol levels are low, make an appointment with your doctor to schedule a cortisol test. A cortisol test involves having your blood drawn and sent to a lab to check cortisol levels. Cortisol levels are usually highest in the morning and lower in the afternoon and evening, and in some cases your doctor might decide to test you twice in the same day to compare morning and afternoon levels. Your doctor will be able to determine whether you have low cortisol or Addison's disease by comparing your levels to normal cortisol levels.   There are several ways of testing cortisol including saliva, blood, and urine tests. Additionally, your doctor may test for other hormones like TSH, free T3, T4, total thyroxine, DHEA, and 17-HP, which can be precursors to cortisol.  The "normal" range varies from lab to lab, but in general, the average morning level for an adult or child is 5–23 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL), or 138–635 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The average afternoon level for an adult or child is 3–16 mcg/dL or 83–441 nmol/L.  Be sure to get your cortisol levels tested by a physician, rather than using an at-home method. Saliva testing kits advertised online are not as reliable as blood tests...

Many plants, such as most palm varieties, shed their lower leaves regularly as part of their natural growth. There is no way to keep these shedding leaves from gradually turning brown, and they can be clipped away once they are thoroughly discolored and dry. A brown-tipped leaf will look green and healthy in all areas except for the brown tip. If your plant isn't being over- or under-watered but still has brown tips, there is probably too much of one or more minerals—most likely salt—in the soil. Excess minerals usually come from hard tap water or too much fertilizer. To flush away the salt or minerals, place the pot over the sink and use distilled water to flush the soil—that is, keep pouring the water until an ample amount runs out of the drain holes.  Flush the soil with distilled water 2-3 times over the course of several minutes. To prevent future problems, water the plant with distilled water and reduce your use of fertilizers. Small brown spots or holes in your houseplants' leaves can be a sign of an insect infestation. Check the soil and the undersides of the leaves for insects to help diagnose the problem before it gets worse. If you need help identifying likely pests for your indoor plants, and want advice on how to get rid of them, contact your local agricultural extension office or visit your local plant nursery.

Many plastics now have labels on them telling which type of plastic they are for recycling purposes. Look for the letters "ABS" on the piece of plastic — they may be in very small print.  Sometimes ABS will be labeled as "Other." If you see abbreviations such as PETE, PVC, HDPE, or PP, these are other types of plastics, meaning it isn't ABS. You won't be able to do this if your plastic is super thick, but try bending the plastic in half with your hands if it's thinner. ABS plastic tends to bend instead of break in half like other plastics. If it bends, you may see a white line form in the crease. ABS plastic is incredibly tough and durable. If you drop the plastic and it immediately gets scuff marks all over it, it's not ABS. You can also try scratching the plastic with your fingernails — ABS plastic won't get scratched easily. ABS plastic is also known for its shock absorbency. Dip a cotton swab in acetone and lightly rub it on a tiny part of the plastic, just for a few seconds. If it's ABS plastic, you'll see the spot that you rubbed become smooth and obviously effected by the acetone. If you leave ABS plastic in acetone, it will eventually disintegrate, almost as if it's melting.

Many popular soaps contain ingredients that will dry out your skin excessively. If you already have cracked skin on your fingers, these soaps will make your condition worse. Look for a liquid soap with words like "gentle" on the label, or that state clearly that they're for sensitive skin.  Bar soaps typically dry your skin out more than liquid soaps, even if they contain moisturizers. If you prefer bar soap, look for one that is oil-based or that includes soothing ingredients, such as aloe or oatmeal. Avoid using anti-bacterial gels to clean your hands. They contain alcohol and can dry your skin further, making the condition worse. Heat dries out your skin. However, washing your hands in cold water may not get them as clean as you want. Use warm or tepid water. Test the temperature with the inside of your arm, rather than with your fingers. Try to use warm water in the bath or shower as well, especially if the rest of your skin is also dry. Although it may seem counter-intuitive, long exposure to water can dry out your skin. The water dilutes and strips away the oils that naturally moisturize your skin. You may also want to switch to a gentle liquid bath or shower wash, particularly if you're experiencing dryness on other parts of your skin. Bath and shower washes designed for babies and children are naturally gentle and typically unscented. When you've finished washing, gently pat your skin to dry it rather than rubbing it. Rubbing your skin can cause it to become inflamed and can worsen the peeling of cracked, dry skin. A soft washcloth or hand towel is gentler on your skin than a paper towel. Never use air dryers on cracked skin – the heat will cause excessive dryness and could worsen your condition.

Many premium cat food manufacturers make a "hairball" control diet. This is usually a dry kibble that contains fiber. The fiber attaches itself to the hair in the stomach and pulls the hair with it through the bowel to be passed. This is most effective when fed as the cat's main food.  These formulas also contain vitamins and nutrients to improve your cat’s coat, reducing the amount your cat will shed.  Hairball control foods are not so useful for helping your cat pass an existing hairball. You may need to use a lubricant to help with the latter, and then continue with a hairball control diet to prevent recurrence. Cats love to snack on plants—often ones you wish they wouldn’t. Indoor cat grass is another good source of fiber for your cat, and it’s cheap and easy to take care of. Consider keeping some around for your cat to nibble at between meals. Water is highly important to your cat’s digestion, and cats can be very picky drinkers. If your cat prefers running water, then provide a circulating fountain-style dispenser or a deep, pool-style reservoir dish. These options come with attachable tanks that ensure your cat has continuous access to fresh water even while you’re away. You can find lubricants to help prevent hairballs in a couple of different forms. You apply some brands to your cat’s food while others you apply directly to your cat’s paw for her to lick off as she grooms. Regardless of the delivery method, the lubricant will coat the fur and help it pass more easily through your cat’s digestive tract.  You can find several brands of hairball lubricant at your local pet store. Most will suggest giving them to your cat once or twice a week, but you should always follow the manufacturer’s directions. These formulations are most often petroleum based, which is safe for your cat at the suggested dosages. For existing hairballs, a lubricant can help your cat vomit up the hairball as well, so don’t panic if your cat produces a hairball after you’ve started using the product. After the existing hairball is...

Many professional ballerinas start training programs young. Summer workshops and boarding schools often provide the opportunity to learn the art of ballet. If possible, try to enter a training program between the ages of 6 to 11.  In order to be accepted into the most prestigious ballet programs, you need to audition. Therefore, try to get some prior training in via ballet lessons before attempting to enter a program.  Auditions can be intense experiences. Students audition in groups and are then given the news as to whether or not they'll be asked back for a second audition or a mini training program to assess whether they'll be admitted into the school. If you do not make it one year, you can usually compete again at the more competitive programs.  Training teaches the basic underlying skill set behind ballet. Ballet schools do offer basic academic, such as English, math, science, and history, in addition to dance classes. In some schools, classes are very small. This can allow teachers to provide students with more individualized attention. A full training program is not realistic for everyone who wants to become a ballerina. If this is the case for you, consider taking summer workshops and spending other breaks from school in dancing programs. You can take classes in your area and ask your instructors for advice on what affordable workshops you can take during summer, winter, and spring breaks. While this may sound less intensive than a full training program, many professional dancers are successful enrolling in a regular public school and doing workshops over breaks. As you get towards the end of high school, you need to think about where to go next. You can enroll in a college program that teaches dance, but you may be better off taking open classes with dance companies if you are invited to do so. As most professional dancers begin their career very young, many go straight into the professional world and put off college for a few years.  Open classes are dance classes at respectful studios.

Many programmers use Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Eclipse and Netbeans for their Java programming, but one can write a Java program and compile it without bloated IDEs. Hardcore programmers sometimes prefer to use text editors that are within the terminal such as vim and emacs. A very good text editor that can be installed on both a Windows machine and on a linux-based machine (Mac, Ubuntu, etc.) is Sublime Text, which is what we will be using in this tutorial. You will need this for compiling your program.  In a Windows-based operating system, if the environment variables are not correct, you might get an error when running javac. Refer the installation article How to Install the Java Software Development Kit for more details about JDK installation to avoid this error.

Many psychiatric assessments first require a clinical interview, which is where a mental health specialist talks to you. They will ask you about your concerns, why you think you need the assessment, and what is going on with you. They also may ask you about your family history. Based upon your interview, the mental health professional decides what further assessments may be necessary. The mental health professional will observe you closely, including both your body language and what you say. In addition to being interviewed, the mental health professional may request to interview people that you are close to. They may want to interview family members, friends, coworkers, or others you interact with. Interviewing of others requires your written consent. They cannot interview someone without your permission. Another thing often discussed during a psychiatric assessment is your social life and relationships. This may include relationships with your family, partners, children, or friends. They may also ask about your interaction with people at work or in social settings.  They may ask you about your social habits, like how often you date, where you go when you go out, and what kinds of social activities you engage in. You will also talk quite a bit about your childhood, including your family of origin and the dynamics of these relationships. Though it’s important to be open and honest during your assessment so you can get the right diagnosis, you may not be ready to talk about some things. That is okay. You can tell your mental health professional that you are not ready to discuss certain things, but be honest about what you can.  If you need, you can bring a friend or family member with you to support you if you think you need it to discuss difficult things. It’s better to be vague and tell the truth than to lie. For instance, you can confirm that you experienced abuse as a child but decline to discuss it further. This is more ideal than refusing to answer the question or denying that anything occurred.

Many sea monkey kits will come with small plastic tanks you can use to hatch and house your sea monkeys. If your kit did not come with a small plastic tank, you can use a clean plastic container that can hold at least two liters of water. Look for a container that has a deep base, as sea monkeys often enjoy swimming around at the base area of their tanks. You can use bottled water, distilled water, or any form of unchlorinated water. Avoid using carbonated water or tap water, as it often contains fluoride and other minerals that may not be good for your sea monkeys.  Once you fill the tank with the water, you should place the tank indoors so it can warm up to room temperature. This will ensure the water will be warm enough for the sea monkey eggs. You should also aerate the tank water at least once to twice a day with an air pump or a turkey baster. The water purifier or salt packet should come in your sea monkey kit when you buy it in stores or online. The water purifier will contain salt, which is important for your sea monkeys as it will allow them to hatch in the water and thrive. Once you put the salt packet in the water, give it a stir and let the water sit in room temperature for another day or up to 36 hours before you add the sea monkeys to the tank. Once you pour the sea monkeys into the tank, stir the tank water with a clean plastic spoon. The sea monkeys will appear as small dots in the water. But don’t worry, they will hatch in around five days and begin swimming around in the tank. Aerate the water while you wait for the sea monkeys to hatch, at least once to twice a day. This will ensure there is enough oxygen in the water for your sea monkeys as they develop and hatch.

Many spam bots will send you a message as soon as you are matched with them. This is to lure you in quickly. Even if this doesn’t happen, consider the speed of messages. Do any come faster than a real person should be able to type? If so, it is a spam bot.  Some spam bots may now be programmed to time their responses. Monitor future messages for inconsistencies, such as for responses that seem generic rather than tailored to your conversation, those that sound nonsensical, and those with poor grammar and spelling. One way to test for bots is to send a nonsense message. Type a bunch of random letters like “agdsgdgdf.” Bots will respond to it as if it is a normal message. Most people won’t jump to racy talk when speaking with a stranger through Tinder. Bots however will quickly escalate the conversation such as by suggesting you may get a phone number if you “play with them” or through other sexually charged messages. Soon enough, the bot will ask you to go somewhere else. They’ll give you a link, saying that they want to leave Tinder or talk to you in private on another site. Do not click any link they show you. If you do, do not give up your credit card information.  Some scams will send you a phone number. Don’t give out your phone number or other personal information. Search the phone number through a reverse phone lookup if you are unsure about its legitimacy.  Look out also for quickly-sent links where the spammer tells you something along the lines of “you’ve got to check this out” or “you won’t believe this.” Often, they don’t explain the unsolicited link, but they may also talk about an amazing application, video, or product. Don’t even look at these. Real scammers on Tinder will try to solidify a connection with you.

Many species of fish, including goldfish, are sensitive to water chemistry. If the amount of ammonia, nitrate, or nitrite is off, your fish could get sick or even die. Go to a pet supply store or look online for a freshwater master test kit and an ammonia test kit for your fish tank. Once you’ve bought the kits, read over any directions or additional information that come with them. Once you have your tank completely setup with everything except the goldfish, you’ll need to build up the good bacteria by adding ammonia. For every gallon of water in your tank, you’ll need to add one drop of ammonia. Every day, add the required number of drops of ammonia into your tank.  If you have a ten-gallon tank, you’ll be adding ten drops of ammonia. You can get bottled ammonia at the pet store. You can also add fish food and let it decompose in your aquarium, which will add ammonia to the water. After adding ammonia for a few days, you’ll need to start testing the water for nitrites and ammonia. Take two water samples with the syringes included in your master test kit. Shake the solution for testing ammonia and add the number of drops indicated on the side of the bottle. Next, shake the solution for the nitrites and add the number of drops indicated on the side of the bottle. Finally, match the colors in the test tubes to the color chart to determine the concentration of ammonia and nitrite in your tank. . After a few weeks of adding ammonia, you should be able to start testing for nitrates. Take a water sample with the syringe included in your master test kit. Shake the bottle for nitrates and add the required number of drops to the test tube. Match the color to the color chart to determine nitrate concentration. Also, test for ammonia and nitrites. If the ammonia and nitrite levels go down to zero but there is some nitrate, your tank is successfully cycled and ready for fish! You’ll still need to add ammonia to feed the good bacteria up until the day you add your goldfish. You’ll want to change half of your water in...

Many states offer state-approved forms for uncontested or agreed divorces. Other states do not, so you may have to spend some time and possibly some money to obtain the correct forms. To locate the proper forms:  Visit your state’s website by following the appropriate link from the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) State Government Websites page. Use a search engine to search “YOUR STATE divorce forms”. For example, if you lived in Texas, you would search “Texas divorce forms”. Check with your County Clerk’s Office. If the forms aren't available online, call or stop in and ask for a copy of the forms you need. Follow all of the instructions that came with your forms. If you did not get instructions, try to answer every question as completely as possible, while remaining brief.  Type or print in blue or black ink when filling out court forms. Write clearly and do not skip portions. Divorce papers will often include several affidavits or unclear legalistic forms, so be prepared to spend some time getting things in order.  If you need help, check with the court clerk and/or local bar association to see if your jurisdiction offers free or low cost assistance to pro-se parties. Your forms should be filed in the county in which you or the other party resides. Check with the court clerk's office if you are unsure which court in your county handles divorces. You will need to submit more than one copy of each form as well as a filing fee, so call the Clerk’s office first, to find out how many copies of each document you should bring, what the filing will be, and what forms of payment are accepted. Uncontested or agreed divorces generally do not require the parties to appear in court, but some jurisdictions may conduct a brief hearing. Be sure to attend any hearings the court schedules and bring any documentation it requests.  Be punctual if you are required to attend any official hearings. Plan your day so that you can be sure to arrive early. Dress conservatively. You don't need to go out and buy a new suit or...

Many stereos, TVs, audio players, and other devices with digital EQ capabilities come with a set of predetermined audio adjustments based on music or audio genre. For instance, your stereo or music app may have presets for “rock,” “jazz,” “classical,” and so on.  By selecting a preset, the various frequency control points will be “boosted” or “cut” to levels that are considered ideal for a particular type of music or audio. Presets provide a quick way to improve the sound of the audio coming through your headphones, earbuds, or speakers. Analog EQs don’t usually have presets, since you have to manually adjust the sliders yourself. Presets are far from perfect, and should be considered starting points. So many factors go into making music sound “just right”—with personal preference at the top of the list—that you should always consider tinkering with any presets. The ultimate goal for EQ adjustments is to make the audio sound as perfect as possible to your ears—so trust them! If your ears tell you that the bass needs boosted, adjust the lower frequencies no matter what the presets indicate. While personal preference is the number one factor in determining ideal audio, there are numerous other factors at play as well. These include—but aren’t limited to—the quality of your audio equipment, the size and shape of the room  or space you’re in, atmospheric conditions, and ambient noises. For example, you may find that adding a new carpet and couch to your den alters how the "jazz" preset sounds on your home stereo. You may have to do some tinkering to get the sound just right once again. If you want to crank up the bass for your favorite rock album, your first instinct will be to boost the lower-end (for instance, 100 Hz) settings. However, you usually get better results by cutting the other settings and leaving the 100 Hz setting in a neutral position.  Boosting is more likely to add distortions to the audio, especially if you boost a particular frequency range to a significant degree. Cutting is far less likely...

Many tabletop games focus on the story, but they also focus on building your character. You will typically sit around a table with a group of people, and take turns describing what your character does.  One of the most popular tabletop roleplay games is Dungeons and Dragons. Typically, you can find a game to join online or in your local gaming/hobby shop. Some games require you to be there in person, while others can be played online.   There are lots of different settings and genres, ranging from fantasy, to science-fiction, to historical, to horror. Some may have other themes too, such as steampunk or western. There are lots of game guides and rule books available online, in bookstores, and at libraries. You can always pick one of these up, and start a game with your friends. Some group meet regularly, while others meet occasionally. This can be as often as once a week to a seldom as once a month or only a few times a year. Also, some games are lighthearted and easy-going, while others are very serious and focused.   If you are just starting out, a lighthearted, easy-going play style might be the best for you. If you are very busy with work and/or school, a group that meets weekly night be too much for you, but a group that meets monthly might be perfect. Some roleplays will focus more on story or setting, while others will focus more on battle and combat. If you are a very active person, a story-focused roleplay might bore you. On the other hand, if you enjoy a good story, a combat-focused roleplay might not be engaging enough for you. There are three main types of roleplays:  Game-oriented roleplays focus on leveling characters via challenges. The battles and monsters become more complex as the characters gain more power. Simulation-oriented roleplays focus on exploring the setting, genre, or theme. Combat tends to be dangerous in these games. Narrative-oriented games focus on how a character's decision affects the story. These games tend to give players more control over setting and story. Every tabletop...

Many tax preparers begin their careers working for an established tax preparation service. These companies will train you in local and state requirements for tax filings and are able to help you through any difficulties you may have in the beginning. After gaining this experience, you are more prepared to move on to another job, start your own business, or further your education.  The biggest advantage of doing this type of work is that many tax preparers offer both free on-the-job training and free continuing education.  While this type of work is a great first start for a tax preparer, you may only be able to find work during tax season, which leaves you out of a job for about two-thirds of the year. This is great for part-timers, but if you want to be a tax preparer full time, you may want to seek other types of employment. There are many tax preparation services and CPA firms that are virtual, allowing you to work from home with flexible hours. In addition to specialized tax preparation companies, there may also be work available at law or accounting firms that offer tax services. In these roles, you would likely be supporting a CPA or tax attorney in the preparation of tax returns for clients. In other words, you would be doing more than simply inputting your client's information—perhaps you'd also deal with certain tax accounting procedures or the intricacies of tax law.  Finding this work can be easier if you are able to differentiate yourself from other tax preparers by specializing in a certain type of tax filing or business. For example, perhaps you could specialize in filing a complex sort of taxes, like those on international assets. These opportunities may also be available at various other types of businesses, so be sure to search online job board and classified newspaper ads frequently for new opportunities. With enough accreditation or experience, you can start your own tax preparation business as an independent tax preparer. Start by advertising your services to the community and begin...

Many teachers and administrators prefer that students use the restroom on their own time. Visiting the restroom during passing time and throughout lunch time, teachers argue, increases the amount of time students are present in the classroom. While some students can manage to do this, others simply don't have time in between their classes.  If you have enough time in between classes, make an effort to use the restroom before your next class starts. Teachers will appreciate that you took care of this need prior to entering their class. If your passing times are extremely short or your classes are really far apart, do your best to fit in visits to the restroom between classes. If you simply don't have enough time, ask your teacher for permission to use the bathroom during class. When you need to use the restroom, your teacher may allow you leave the classroom without asking for permission. Instead, they may simply require you to sign-in and sign-out of the classroom when you need to go to the bathroom. This sign-in/out sheet is usually located near the classroom door.  Quietly get up from your seat and walk to the sign-in/sign-out sheet. Fill out your name, the date, the time, and where you are going. If your teacher requires you to take a pre-printed pass, grab one before exiting the room. When you return from the bathroom, sign-in and write down the time you returned. Go back to your seat without disturbing the class. Some teachers have a classroom bathroom pass that they require students to take with them to and from the restroom. This form of pass is often less disruptive to the entire class. Students may take these community passes without asking permission to use the restroom and the teacher is not required to sign any passes.  When you need to use the bathroom, get out of your seat quietly and walk to the classroom restroom passes. Grab the pass and take it with you to the restroom. When you return to class, put the pass back and return to your seat. If you get up to use the bathroom while your teacher...

Many temporary dyes can last up to several weeks or even months, so read the dye instructions carefully before purchasing. Choose a spray-in hair color if you need the hair dye to wash out easily.  Chalk dye your hair for a temporary red hue. Poison Ivy's hair is traditionally curled, so heat up a curling iron to mimic her 'do. Pick a bigger curling iron size for large and voluminous curls. Use hairspray to keep your style secure while you wear the costume. If you do not need to color your hair the day you wear the costume, you can use an overnight method (like a large pair of hair rollers) to curl your hair instead. For those with short hair or an aversion to dyes, purchase a red wig and back comb it with a fine-toothed comb. This will give your wig ideal texture and volume. Spritz your wig with hairspray to give the style hold. To back comb, separate the wig hair into sections using rubber bands. Working with one section at a time, use a fine-toothed comb to brush halfway between the scalp and ends. Continue brushing until you reach your desired volume. Buy a thin green or black headband to form the base of your accessory. Glue leaves along the top and side of the headband until it is covered entirely. Place the headband in your hair or wig for an untamed style.

Many towns in drought-prone areas meet regularly and discuss water policy. If you're concerned, you should attend these meetings and participate. Do all you can to promote efficient water usage. Give suggestions if you have them and, if you think it's necessary, organize local citizens to campaign for certain changes.  Local governments often advertise meetings of this sort. Check local newspapers or your local government's website for notice of meetings. If you can't find any meetings advertised, try calling your town or city hall and asking if any upcoming meetings will discuss water policy. It's possible your local government doesn't discuss such issues. In this case, you can form a committee of citizens to petition the government to take action on water conservation. Read Be a Community Organizer for ideas on how to organize fellow citizens. Just as you took steps to conserve water in your own home, you can also petition the government to do the same. Organize citizens and call for water-efficient devices and practices in government buildings and offices. For example, some restaurants serve water only upon request, which saves resources. Show your support for these establishments by using their services and telling your neighbors about them. Water pollution is a big problem if a drought hits. The community will have less water it can use in the event of rationing if local rivers, streams, and lake are polluted. It is a matter of public interest to clean up local water sources to prepare for a drought.

Many universities, especially those that include a focus on South Asian Studies, offer classes in Tamil. These may be open to the community. If you live in an area with a lot of South Asian and Indian people, chances are that there are probably community language classes available. Read online blogs and newspapers to help you learn the most common vocabulary in Tamil. Children's books are also an excellent place to start, as they're geared toward an audience who is still learning the language and often use pictures and other education aids.  The Tamil Nadu government Department of Education maintains a website with several free textbooks for download; these are used in elementary school through high school in Tamil Nadu public schools. TamilCube also has a large collection of stories in Tamil available for free. Find YouTube videos, movies in Tamil, popular music and songs, and listen to as much spoken Tamil as you can.

Many veterans with disabilities incurred during their time in service can't drive and are in need of help getting from place to place. Ask them if they need a ride to the supermarket or to an appointment, for example. If you can offer a ride, but don't know a veteran, contact The Department of Veterans Affairs (DAV) Transportation Network and they will pair you with someone. Many veterans are in need of companion or service animals to cope with physical and mental disabilities. You can help foster or train service animals that will help reduce veterans' physical and mental stress.  Reach out to organizations like Pets for Vets to find out how you can help pair veterans with therapy animals.  Contact a group like Patriot PAWS to volunteer raising service dogs for disabled veterans.  You can also support military working dogs by purchasing pet food and treats from companies that donate money to assist the dogs after they retire. Some veterans have trouble performing everyday activities like shopping for groceries or making meals. They may be unable to drive or navigate a store. Help them out by volunteering to deliver food. If you can’t schedule time to deliver food to veterans, you can point them to grocery or meal delivery services such as Meals on Wheels or the various transportation services provided by the Disabled Veterans National Foundation.

Many word problems look something like this: "A recipe calls for 4 potatoes and 5 carrots. If you want to use 8 potatoes instead, how many carrots will you need to keep the ratio the same?" Many students try to add the same amount of each quantity. You actually need to use multiplication, not addition, to keep the ratio the same. Here's an example of the wrong and right to solve this example:  Wrong method: "8 - 4 = 4, so I added 4 potatoes to the recipe. That means I should take the 5 carrots and add 4 to that too... wait! That's not how ratios work. I'll try again." Right method: "8 ÷ 4 = 2, so I multiplied the number of potatoes by 2. That means I should multiply the 5 carrots by 2 as well. 5 x 2 = 10, so I want 10 carrots total in the new recipe." Some word problems get tricky by switching to a different unit partway through. Convert to the same unit before finding the ratio. Here's an example problem and solution:  A dragon has 500 grams of gold and 10 kilograms of silver. What is the ratio of gold to silver in the dragon's hoard? Grams and kilograms are not the same unit, so we'll need to convert. 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams, so 10 kilograms = 10 kilograms x 1,000grams1kilogram{\displaystyle {\frac {1,000grams}{1kilogram}}} = 10 x 1,000 grams = 10,000 grams. The dragon has 500 grams of gold and 10,000 grams of silver. The ratio of gold to silver is 500gramsGold10,000gramsSilver=5100=120{\displaystyle {\frac {500gramsGold}{10,000gramsSilver}}={\frac {5}{100}}={\frac {1}{20}}}. In ratio word problems, it's much easier to catch mistakes if you write the units after each value. Remember, the same unit on the top and bottom of a fraction cancels out. After you cancel out as much as you can, you should end up with the right units for your answer.  Example problem: If you have six boxes, and in every three boxes there are nine marbles, how many marbles do you have? Wrong method: 6boxes∗3boxes9marbles=...{\displaystyle 6boxes*{\frac {3boxes}{9marbles}}=...} Wait, nothing cancels out, so my answer would be "boxes x...

Many, but not all, sinks have clips underneath them that create a pressure connection against the underside of the counter. If your sink has them, loosen them either by hand or with a screwdriver. If your new sink requires clips, it should come with them. However, you may want to keep these old ones for the time being, just in case they might come in handy. Carefully run the blade of the knife between the rim of the sink and the countertop. Doing so will slice through the caulk or other sealant that secures the sink and countertop together. Work slowly and carefully so you don’t cut into the countertop, especially if it’s made of laminated wood. Of course, if you’re replacing the countertop as well, you can be as messy as you like! If you can get a good grip from above, you can lift it straight up and out. Otherwise, have a second person push up from below, then lift out the sink when it pops up. Once the old sink is out of the way, scrape away any residual caulk or sealant on the countertop. Use a plastic putty knife for scraping, then clean up any residue with a rag dipped in mineral spirits. and drain on the new sink. You can either remove the faucet and drain from the old sink and reuse them, or buy a new faucet and drain to go with your new sink. If you are not experienced with this type of project, you may be better off with a new faucet and drain, since they will come with detailed installation instructions. Faucet and drain installations will vary quite a bit based on the particular brand and model you select. However, with a good set of instructions, it is a project most DIYers can handle. Otherwise, contact a plumber. Squeeze a steady strip of caulk all the way around the underside of the rim. This will hold the sink in place and prevent water from dripping down into the cabinet. Choose a silicone caulk intended for use with bathroom fixtures. Don’t use acrylic or other non-silicone caulks. Lift the sink carefully and slowly drop it straight down into the opening. Once it’s in place, push down on...
