It doesn’t take a genius to pick up some new vocabulary, but a few impressive words and some grammatical flourishes might give you the appearance of being an intellectual. Download a word-a-day app, or simply make some flashcards. Identify some common grammatical errors in your speech and correct them. You could even look up a few brainy-sounding literary quotations to pepper into your conversations. Remember, using impressive words is only impressive if you use them correctly--saying "juxtaposition" won't earn you any points if you don't understand what it means or how it's pronounced. The same way everyone kind of starts to suspect that the guy who keeps insisting he’s not racist might be kind of racist, if you constantly try to impress everyone with how smart you are, people may start to wonder. If you are taciturn and humble instead, people may infer that you are consumed with deep thoughts. One good opportunity to put this into action is if someone else makes a stupid comment in a group conversation. If you leap in to correct or mock them, you run the risk of seeming mean rather than intelligent. Instead, let them do the work for you--simply stay silent for a moment, letting their remark sink in, and just when it starts to feel awkward, move the conversation along. It will give the impression that you simply couldn't find a way to respond to such a ridiculous comment, and decided to move past it to spare that person further embarrassment. People tend to naturally assume that well-dressed, well-spoken individuals are more intelligent than sloppy ones who mumble all the time. You may also want to consider starting to wear glasses. It sounds silly, but when it comes to making people think you are intelligent, four eyes are better than two. Again, it sounds silly, and frankly, it is, but nonetheless, there is actual evidence to suggest that calling yourself Frank R. Miller instead of Frank Reginald Miller will make you seem smarter to other people. If you want to capitalize on this effect, just add another...

It helps a lot. Unless it is at night and/or you live in a quiet place and you are alone, there are always some distracting noises coming from people, nature, machines, etc. Earplugs can be a bit uncomfortable so do not use them for very long periods at a time (e.g. take a break after an hour). Divide the card up into three sections: morning, afternoon, and night. Every time you catch your mind wandering, make a little checkmark in the appropriate box. After only a little while, you'll find that your mind won't wander as often, simply by keeping a tally!  Being aware of the issue is the first step, and this method helps you stay very aware of each time you lose your concentration. Your awareness of what you're doing will eventually help you improve your concentration, without any added effort. With this method, you'll eventually be able to pinpoint your most vulnerable times. Say you find a lot of tallies during the morning, when you're still tired and your mind is likely to drift. That's a sign that you should be improving your concentration by getting more sleep, or eating a healthy breakfast. If you have a set time during the day — say your "drift off" time is at 5:30 every day, when you get back from school or work — you may be less likely to sanction drifting off during 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. If you catch yourself drifting off during any of the unsanctioned times, tell yourself that you have a designated drift off time and try to keep your brain concentrated on whatever task is at hand. Blood is the main vehicle of oxygen in our bodies. But blood gets pooled in the lower half of our bodies as a result of gravity, and doesn't push as much oxygen to the brain, where it helps improve concentration. In order to help oxygenate the brain, get up and take a walk every so often to get the blood pumping. If you're stuck at work and you can't really carve out the time for exercise, try doing exercises at work. These can include any number of things, including isometric or aerobic exercises. If your brain has to...

It helps to begin by sorting your data in numerical order, from lowest to highest. This will ensure that you do not miss any values. Then select the value at the end of the list. For example, suppose you are testing the precision of a scale, and you observe five measurements: 11, 13, 12, 14, 12. After sorting, these values are listed as 11, 12, 12, 13, 14. The highest measurement is 14. Once your data has been sorted, finding the lowest value is as simple as looking at the beginning of the list. For the scale measurement data, the lowest value is 11. The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest measurements. Just subtract one from the other. Algebraically, the range can be expressed as:  Range=x(max)−x(min){\displaystyle {\text{Range}}=x(max)-x(min)} For the sample data, the range is: Range=x(max)−x(min)=14−11=3{\displaystyle {\text{Range}}=x(max)-x(min)=14-11=3} When reporting data, it is important to let the readers know what you have measured. Because there are different measures of precision, you should specify what you are reporting. For this data, you would report Mean=12.4, Range=3, or simply that the Mean=12.4±3. The mean is not actually part of calculating the range or precision, but it is generally the primary calculation for reporting the measured value. The mean is found by adding up the sum of the measured values and then dividing by the number of items in the group. For this set of data, the mean is (11+13+12+14+12)/5=12.4.

It helps to have your PDF in full-screen mode, since you'll have to crop the final photo before saving it as a GIF. Your screen should dim for a moment, indicating that the screenshot was successful. Screenshots are saved in sub-folder inside of the "Pictures" folder. "Print Screen" may also be stylized as "Prt Sc" or "Prt Scrn". This should be on your desktop. You can also click the File Explorer--the folder icon next to the search field in your taskbar--and then click "Documents" in the left-side toolbar. This will open your Pictures folder.  This will prompt a drop down menu of potential programs with which you can open your screenshot. This will open your screenshot in Paint. Microsoft Paint is a default program on any PC; you can easily convert a PDF into a GIF using Paint's "Save As" feature. You can also use Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, or any other intermediate photo-editing programs on your PC; however, Microsoft Paint is usually the simplest solution. This will allow you to select a portion of your picture to save while cropping out the rest of the picture.  This will crop your screenshot. If you make a mistake, click the backwards-facing arrow in the upper left-hand corner of Paint. This will undo your mistake. This will prompt a menu with options for saving your file.  This will save your screenshot as a GIF. Make sure you choose somewhere easily-accessible as your save point; you can also rename your picture from here. You have successfully converted your PDF to GIF format!

It is a common misconception that dark rooms should be painted light colors. In fact, light colors need an abundance of light to realize their potential; otherwise they tend to look drab, dull, and even dirty. The best way to counter the low light levels in a basement is by painting with rich, deep hues.  Basement paint colors do not necessarily need to be dark, but they should be richly saturated. So, a highly saturated, medium-toned turquoise will often perform better than a dark-toned gray paint. If you prefer neutral colors, like beige or gray, choose a slightly richer shade, like a chocolate brown or deep slate, instead. The more light a room receives, the better the paint will look regardless of color. This gives you more options in brighter rooms. Near windows and in rooms with plenty of electric light, you can use whites and off-whites as well as rich colors or dark tones. Choosing the right sheen is an important part of choosing your basement paint. The type of sheen can determine how light reflects off your painted walls (an especially important consideration for a basement), how visible imperfections in the walls are, and also how easy it will be to keep the space looking clean.  If your basement is damp and tends be affected by mold, choose a satin paint finish. These kinds of paints can withstand moisture better than other types. Avoid matte paints. Matte paints are harder to clean, and they won't reflect light, which will make your basement seem darker. Basements usually have low ceilings, which can dim the room. To help lighten up the room, choose a bright or lighter shade. White, bright beige, or a soft pale yellow can be good choices. Avoid dark or rich colors like black, dark blue, deep slate, or rich brown.

It is a dead giveaway if you refuse to "wake up" no matter how many times someone calls your name or shakes you. People who are really sleeping wake up from disturbances. If you start smiling when someone is trying to wake you up, you will give yourself away. Instead, groggily moan and act irritated that you were woken up. It takes a little while for people to regain their clarity when they are woken up suddenly. Have you ever woken someone up by calling them? Think of how you could tell they were sleeping. They probably seemed disoriented and their voice may have been muffled. If someone else is in the room with you and there is a loud noise, like thunder or an ambulance, move a little bit so the other person can tell your sleep was disturbed. You don’t have to jump out of bed wide awake. We sleep through loud noises all the time, and we may never remember them, but often our sleep is slightly disturbed.

It is a misconception that some people are just naturally positive. In reality, optimism takes practice. You can develop a bubbly personality by working to bolster your optimism.  Become aware of your “self-talk,” or the thoughts that you have about yourself. Don’t say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say about a friend. When you have a negative thought, try to alter it. Instead of thinking, “I’ve never done this before,” try to tell yourself, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.” Try to be optimistic when you talk with your friends too, such as by pointing out the positive in a situation. For example, if a friend is worried about an upcoming exam, don't join in on worrying about the test with your friend. Instead, you might say something like, "You are a great student! I am confident that you are going to do a great job! But for now, let's enjoy this beautiful day!" Negativity leads to more negativity. So even if something is bothering you, try to let it go rather than complaining about it. Complaining only spreads your misery around to others (which is decidedly un-bubbly). Embody a bubbly disposition by breaking the habit of complaint.   If you really need to air your complaints, try writing them down. Another option is to speak to a therapist. If you want to exude a bubbly disposition, you can’t be hampered down by stress. Find some methods of stress-relief that work for you and practice them regularly.  Get a massage. Go for a walk. Diffuse essential oils (like lemon or lavender) in your home or office. Try to relieve your stress before it even becomes a problem. When you feel genuine gratitude in your daily life, it becomes much easier to exude bubbliness. Develop and grow your experience of gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal.   Get a notebook, and write down five things you are grateful for each day. In time, your gratitude will grow and grow! ” The chores and monotony of daily life can easily bring you down. You may find yourself grumbling, “I have to go to work,” or, “I have...

It is also important for you to see your primary care physician because there are several medical conditions that can cause mood swings that look like bipolar disorder, and it is important to rule those out. Your doctor will complete a physical exam to rule out any other conditions and then refer you to a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist. Your doctor may ask you to describe your symptoms. They will also review your medical history. There are two types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I disorder, which is the most severe type, and bipolar II disorder, where you have only depression and not mania. Depending on your symptoms, a mental health professional can determine which type you have. There are several different types of medications that can help to treat the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Your psychiatrist may suggest trying several different ones to find the right ones for you. You may be given mood stabilizers, atypical antipsychotics, and antidepressants.  Always talk to your psychiatrist about the possible risks and side effects of these medications. If you notice any troubling side effects, talk to your psychiatrist right away. Your psychiatrist may adjust your dosage or switch you to a different medication. Do not stop taking your medication without talking to your psychiatrist first. Stopping your medication can lead to a rebound or make your symptoms worse. You may also experience withdrawal symptoms. Therapy can be an effective treatment for bipolar disorder. Your psychiatrist may recommend therapy treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT allows you to examine how your thoughts affect your emotions. This therapy can also help you change negative thinking patterns and behaviors. It can help you manage your symptoms better and avoid a relapse. To do CBT, you will work with a therapist on a regular basis to treat your symptoms. Interpersonal therapy can help you reduce the level of stress your disorder causes you in day to day life. Stress can be a major...

It is always important you talk to your healthcare provider first to let her know your symptoms and to confirm there is nothing to be concerned about. Your doctor can also diagnose the underlying cause for fever and treat it instead of just treating the symptom itself.  Some common causes for fever during pregnancy include cold, flu, food poisoning, and urinary tract infection (see next section for more details). Do not wait to contact your doctor if the fever is associated with other symptoms, such as rash, nausea, contractions, or abdominal pain. Go to the hospital if you have a fever and your water breaks.  Contact your doctor if your fever does not improve within 24-36 hours or immediately if you experience a fever above 100.4 F. A prolonged fever can have negative effects on the baby and/or increase the risk of miscarriage. If you are unable to get the fever down, contact your healthcare provider or midwife for further instructions.  Unless your doctor advises otherwise, you can try the next steps to reduce fever. A bath or a shower is an effective way to reduce fever. This is because when water evaporates off your skin it will draw heat and helps lower your body temperature.  Do not use cold water as this can lead to shivers which in turn can increase your body temperature. Do not use rubbing alcohol in the bath water because the vapors can cause harm. One way to reduce fever is to place a cool, dampened washcloth over your forehead. This helps draw heat out of your body and reduces your body temperature.  Another way to bring down fever is by using an overhead or standing fan to help remove heat from your body. Sit or lie under a fan. Use it on a low setting so you do not get chilled. It is important that you keep your body well hydrated and replenish the water that is lost during fever.  Drinking water helps keep you hydrated but also helps cool your body from the inside out. Eat warm broths or chicken soup that provide extra fluids. Drink beverages high in vitamin C, such as orange juice, or add a...

It is best not to eat a big meal right before bed. However, if you haven’t eaten enough, you might wake up hungry, creating a fitful sleep. If you need to, have a small snack before going to bed, such as a banana and a glass of milk. Numerous studies show that tryptophan (an amino acid) increases sleepiness and reduces the amount of time it takes a person to fall asleep. The human body uses tryptophan to help produce serotonin, which is believed to be important for healthy sleep. Thus, eating tryptophan-rich foods may lead to better, more lucid dreams. Such foods include:  Turkey Chicken Fish Pumpkin seeds Milk Peanuts Soy Tofu This vitamin is important for a host of bodily functions. In addition, initial research shows that it is connected to the vividness of a person’s dreams. You can take a vitamin B6 supplement to make sure you get enough of it, or eat more foods that are high in this vitamin, including:  Banana Avocado Beans Beef Pork Nuts Poultry Corn Whole grains Fortified cereals and breads If you are trying to have good dreams, avoid coffee, caffeinated sodas, nicotine, and other stimulants. The effects of these stimulants can make it hard to sleep well. Similarly, you should avoid depressants like alcohol. While they may initially make you feel drowsy, they may disturb your sleep and prevent good dreams.

It is best to have a tea you enjoy drinking, but you should know that certain teas are considered more effective for weight loss than others. Find ways to create a healthy tea-drinking habit. This is easiest if you make “tea-time” a regular thing. Drink a cup in the morning and one in the afternoon, then have a decaf or herbal tea with bed, as they are still somewhat effective without caffeine.  Substitute tea for morning coffee. Brew tea in advance and chill it for iced tea on hot days. Cream and sugar will destroy any weight loss benefits earned by the tea. You need to get used to drinking your tea plain, without adornment. Tea is a great way to help regulate your metabolism. But for the best results, start using tea whenever you feel a craving for something sweet or unhealthy. Often a warm cup of tea will be enough to settle your stomach and avoid temptation.

It is best to lay the paper horizontally so that you have plenty of room for drawing.  Using a compass to help you draw the circle will make sure that it is evenly sized and neat. If using a compass, gently hold both legs of the compass to avoid having the pencil end push out, enlarging your circle and making it uneven. Draw the circle to one side, not in the middle. For example, if you drew your first circle more to the right, then this circle should sit more to the left while still overlapping the first. Keep your compass at the same setting so that your two circles are the same size. If you do not have enough space, then it would be best to erase and start over, or to start over from scratch on a new piece of paper, with bigger circles. At the top of each circle, write the things you are comparing, such as books, people, movies, animals, et cetera. Where the circle overlaps in the middle, write “Both.” In each of the outer circles, list details about each thing that make it distinctly separate and different from the other thing. In the middle, list details that those two things have in common.

It is best to place all of the required materials on your desk, table, or wherever you plan to work. Below is what you will need to make and fly your kite:  8.5” by 11” sheet of printing paper, construction paper, or card stock A thin wooden stick or bamboo skewer Tape Lightweight string Lightweight ribbon Pencil Scissors Hole punch (optional) A nice breeze or light wind (6-15 mph) Place your paper in front of you in a horizontal position with the long sides at the top and bottom. Fold your paper in half so that the fold (seam) is on the left side. Use your pencil to make a dot at the very top of the folded paper, about 1.5” to 2” from the fold, depending on your desired wing size. Make another dot at the very bottom of the folded paper, about 1.5” to 2” from the opening. Imagine or draw a line that connects the two dots. Delta kites were first created in the 1940s by Wilbur Green and were designed with wings that fly well in lighter winds. Fold the paper along the line that you just made or imagined. Turn the paper over and fold that side exactly as you did in step 3. Be sure both sides are exactly the same. Use your tape to secure the folded sides along the middle seam. You should already see your kite taking shape. Place your thin wooden stick or bamboo skewer horizontally across the widest part of the wings. This section of the kite is also called the sail. Use tape to secure the stick into place. Be sure that your stick is not longer than the width of the kite. If it is, carefully use your scissors to shorten the stick. Draw a dot about a third of the way down the spine of your kite and about half an inch from the edge. Place tape over this dot and make sure the piece of tape is long enough to cover both sides. Use your hole punch to make a hole over the dot. This hole is the attachment point for the string.  The hole will be located at the narrow end of the flap, which is towards the top of the kite. If you do not have a hole punch, you can carefully use scissors to create the hole. The purpose of the...

It is commonly thought that closing vents and doors to unused rooms will reduce energy use, but doing this actually drives up the cost of your gas bill. Keep all the vents and interior doors in your home open to promote airflow. However, if you adjust a radiator valve to lower the temperature of a specific room, you can close the door to that room to prevent cooler air from leaking into warmer rooms. If you leave your windows or exterior doors open during cold months, the warm air will simply escape. Be sure to keep all your window and exterior doors closed. If there’s a gap beneath a door, roll up a towel and place it against the bottom of the door to block out the cold air. During the day, keep your blinds, shades, or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up. When the sun goes down, close all your blinds, shades, or curtains to keep the warm air in. Insulated panels can keep cold air from seeping through your glass windows. These panels are typically made of foam board and can be found at home improvement stores. Measure your windows before heading to the store so you can purchase panels of the correct size. Press the panels against the windows, then use strips of magnetic tape to secure the panels to the window frame. During the cold months, putting plastic film insulation over your windows can help prevent warmth from escaping your home. This film can be found at home improvement stores and is easy to install. Generally, the film comes in pre-cut sheets, so you may need to use multiple sheets and/or trim some of the sheets down to fit over your windows. Simply press the adhesive side of the film against the window glass. Running ceiling fans clockwise will keep the air circulating throughout the room. This keeps the room warmer than running the fans counterclockwise. In the summer, you can switch the fans to counterclockwise keep the room cool.

It is considered rude to display a hat that features stains, scuffs, or loose hair and fuzz. Depending on the type of hat, you will need to adjust your cleaning method. Hats are generally made of fur, wool, straw, suede leather, leather, canvas and cloth.  Felt and wool hats can be cleaned with a simple brushing with a soft bristle brush. Straw hats should be cleaned by brushing with a small whisk broom, or a light, damp cloth. Suede leather should be brushed with a nylon or stiff bristle brush. Afterwards, buff matted suede or dirt with an emery cloth or fine grit sandpaper. Most oils and odors can be removed with a. Mixture of 1 part baby shampoo and 15 parts warm water, though not all stains can be removed. Leather hats should be treated with leather dressing such as minks oil or neatsfoot oil. Cloth hats can be hosed off if they are treated with wax or made of oiled cotton. If not, use a stiff bristle brush to clean. Canvas hats can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use powdered cleaners on heavier stains. A misshapen hat displays an overall lack of concern for style and etiquette, which is why hat racks were a common feature of 19th and early 20th century buildings. Keep your hat stored in a cool, dry location where nothing can fall on top of it. Laying items on top of the hat can cause the shape of the hat to warp, which can be difficult to correct!  If you have a hat that features a brim that is turned down, store the hat upside down. This relieves the pressure on the brim, allowing it to maintain its form. Avoid handling your hat by the crown too often. This can alter the hat’s shape over a long period of time. Instead, handle your hat by the brim, using both hands. Should your hat get wet, allow it to air dry. Using heat or steam to dry a wet hat can cause the hat to shrink. Flip the sweatband out and place the hat on a hat rack or on a bowl to help maintain its form while it dries.  Drying your hat with heat can cause the hat to shrink and warp, rendering it a poor fit for your head (and thus, a poor...

It is curiosity that breeds new knowledge. Note when you observe something that you can’t readily explain with your existing knowledge, or something that may have another explanation than the one commonly given. Then, question how to explain what causes it to occur. For example, you may notice that the potted plant you place on the windowsill is taller than the plant you keep in your bedroom, even though they’re the same type of plant and you planted them at the same time. You may then ask why it is that the two plants have different growth rates. In order to answer your question, you’ll need to know more about the subject matter at hand. Start by reading books and looking up articles online about your question to try and find the answer.  For example, if you’re looking for information to answer your question about plants, you might start by looking up information on plant biology and photosynthesis from a science textbook or online. You may also find that gardening books and websites useful. You want to read as much about your question as possible, because the question may have already been answered, or you may find information that will help you form your hypothesis. A hypothesis is a possible explanation for the phenomenon you observed, based on the research you’ve done on the subject. It’s basically an educated guess. Your hypothesis should posit a cause and effect relationship.  Your hypothesis should sound like a statement of fact. For example, your hypothesis might be that it was the greater amount of sunlight on the windowsill that caused your first potted plant to grow faster than the second. Make sure that your hypothesis is testable. In other words, it needs to be something you can prove in a scientific experiment. You should predict an outcome you’d expect to see if your hypothesis is correct. This is the outcome you’ll seek to confirm in your experiment. Your prediction should be in the form of an if-then statement. For example, you might say, “If a plant receives more direct sunlight, then it...

It is easier to remove the tampon when you are seated on the toilet. Being seated will allow you to spread your legs apart and access the tampon. It will also help you angle your fingers so you can easily slide out the tampon. Sitting on the toilet will also ensure that any blood that drips out when you remove the tampon will go into the toilet. This will make for less mess, with no blood on your underwear or on the floor. Your tampon should have a white string that dangles off the end of the tampon. You should be able to look between your legs and find the string coming out of your vagina. If you do not see a string dangling out, it may have gotten stuck in your vagina throughout the day. Often, the string gets broken or tangled up when you exercise. You may need to use your fingers to probe around your vaginal opening for the string. Once you have located the string, you should grip it gently with two fingers. Then, carefully pull on the string to slide the tampon out of your vagina. It should slide out fairly easily with a gentle pull. If your tampon does not come out or appears to be stuck, you may need to seek medical attention. Sometimes tampons can get stuck if they are left in too long, if the string gets stuck in your vagina, or if you accidentally have sex while wearing a tampon. You should get the tampon removed as soon as possible by a doctor as leaving the tampon in can put you at a high risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.

It is easier to see the stars and planets in the night sky if you live in a rural area. If you’re in the city, it will be much more difficult to see them because of light pollution. Try to find a spot away from stray light that shines off of buildings. The planets are rarely near one another in the night sky. Knowing where to see them is very important. A great way to find them is to locate them when they appear as part of a constellation.  Mercury: Mercury will be visible near the Sun. You’ll lose it in the Sun’s glare for most of the year, but it will return to view in the middle of August.  Mars: look low in the morning sky, Mars moves eastward. Jupiter: Jupiter is always located very far away from the sun. Saturn: look low in the Libra constellation to see this bright planet. The planets may have an apparition period but may earlier in the eastern hemisphere and later in the night in the western hemisphere. When you look at the apparition periods, take into consideration what part of the earth you’re on.

It is easiest to do this by pouring the contents of the pot into a strainer. If you don’t have a strainer, put the lid into the pot at an angle, leaving a small space for water to drain out while catching the apple chunks. Once you’ve drained all of the water from the pot, place it back down on a non-heated surface. If you skip this step, the apples will remain hot from the water. When they’re this hot, they will continue cooking and losing vitamins and minerals. By rinsing the apples with cool water, you will stop the cooking process and the apples will stay “as is.” Use a potato masher to mash the tender apple chunks into the puree. If you don’t have a potato masher, you can use a large fork to do this, although you may end up with a chunkier puree. For a super smooth apple puree, feel free to put your soft apple chunks into a blender or a food processor.  Many blenders have a "puree" setting, which is what you will use for this step. If your blender has speeds, use the fastest setting.  For very young babies, you can add a bit of water to thin your puree as needed. This will keep it fresh for longer. When it is time to serve it to your baby, you can warm it in the microwave for a few seconds or simply serve it cold. You can also combine it with other fruit and vegetable purees to create delicious combinations. If you aren’t going to finish the puree within three days, pop it in the freezer. It can last in there for up to three months.

It is easiest to see stars if you’re away from large urban areas that produce a lot of artificial light at night. This reduces visibility of the night sky, making it harder to see stars. The further you get away from urban lights, the more stars you’ll be able to see, so try heading to rural areas or even parks or nature preserves. The darker the sky is, the more stars become visible. At night, the size of the moon has a large effect on how bright or dark the sky. If you go stargazing when the moon is at its smallest, you will have a better view of the stars.  You can look up the phases of the moon online on various astronomical websites. Some weather forecasts will also include information about the moon. Just as with landscapes on Earth, views of the stars become better the higher up you go. Being at a high elevation not only makes you relatively closer to the sky but also puts you above trees and other things that can block your view. Astronomers often place their observatories on mountains for these reasons.  If you can’t make it out of a city, though, you can try stargazing from the top of a building. You can research state and national parks to find public spaces with high elevations. If you’re interested, you can often camp at the park you stargaze from. Views of the night sky are usually best in the winter for several reasons. There is less daylight in the winter, so the sky gets darker at night and stays that way for longer. Also the leaves have fallen off of most trees, so there tend to be more places to find an unobstructed view. If you stargaze in the winter, though, you will want to make sure to bring heavy clothing and any other equipment you might need to keep yourself warm and safe. When planning a stargazing outing, you want to make sure you have good, clear weather. Cloudy skies will severely limit your ability to see stars. Additionally, stargazing requires spending long stretches of time outdoors, so you should avoid having to stand in the rain. The night sky always has interesting things...

It is easy to say that a good child listens to her parents (and other authority figures) and does what she is told.  While this is normally true, it is more important that children learn to take responsibility for what they need to do.  As a child who strives to be your best, you need to accept that there are things you have to do, for the benefit of yourself and others.  The goal of being a good child isn’t really about giving your parents a little less grief (although they will welcome that).  Good children learn qualities that will help them become happy, successful, “good” adults. For example, you need to take responsibility for doing your homework and completing your chores, without constant reminders or resistance.  This will help you to become more self-motivated, self-sufficient, and successful in work and life as an adult. Every one of us (including adults) sometimes gets angry, frustrated, whiny, or stressed out.  There is no way to deny or avoid these emotions, and it would be unhealthy to do so anyway.  However, you can work on recognizing and managing your emotions more effectively.  Learning to control anger is one of the most important lessons for children.  When you feel anger welling up, simple steps like taking deep breaths, in the nose and out the mouth, and counting to five can help you calm and contain it.  Then, you can think more clearly about what caused the anger and what you can do differently next time to manage it.  Uncontrolled anger isn't always the cause of bad behavior, though.  Sometimes kids act out when they are upset, sad, confused, or lonely.  You might experience these emotions if you've been bullied in school, left out of a group activity, or rejected by a friend.  When you feel down, talk to an adult you trust.  If you can talk to your parents about your emotions, it can improve your relationship with them.  There is no shame in seeking help from a counselor or other expert if you need it, though. “Good boys and girls tell the truth.”  You may have heard this said to...

It is estimated that up to 74% of Americans have some level of speaking anxiety. While that large of a number experiences the fear in differing levels, many of them report that they are more fearful of public speaking than death. CA may start early in life as it is very prevalent in elementary school-aged children. Communication apprehension may come about as a result of genetics, as a personality trait, or even only in certain circumstances. You may be making a bigger problem out of the “worst case” than it really is. Consider what's the very worse that you expect to happen. If you have been exaggerating the power of your fear, you may start to notice that the potential repercussions that you have been worried about aren't all that bad. Regardless of how one interaction goes, for the most part it is not going to make or break anything major. You will probably not lose your job nor will one error ruin your life or health. If you fear speaking in front of strangers, in all reality there is a good chance they will not remember what happens for very long. You may also never see your audience again. Redefine what success means to you and acknowledge that using your voice, even with a bump or two in the road, is a win over the fear. Remember that the majority of the people listening to you at any given time also report some level of speaking anxiety. You taking the step to make the speech or communicate with others in any way is brave. There is a good chance what you are thinking is far worse than what the audience is thinking. Self-talk like “I'm an idiot” or “I'm going to make a fool of myself” will only make matters worse. Strive to attack these negative thoughts and think thoughts that are realistic and positive. You can challenge your negative thinking with questions like:  What would a friend say about my thoughts? What evidence do I have that this is true? What evidence do I have that this is not true? How many times has this terrible thing actually happened? Is my thinking based on how I feel rather than on facts?

It is extremely important that you do not touch your piercing with unclean hands. Before touching or cleaning your piercing, you should wash your hands with soap and hot water. Make sure you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds after lathering and then rinse with hot water. In order to avoid infection, you will need to clean your industrial piercing two times a day during the healing period, which may take anywhere from four weeks and six months. Work the cleaning into your daily schedule. For example, you can clean the piercing after breakfast and before going to bed each night.  If you do not clean your piercing regularly, it can become infected or take longer to heal. Keep in mind that industrial piercings take longer to heal than standard ones. When your piercing has healed, it should no longer be tender to the touch. However, it’s a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor or piercer to determine if your piercing has healed completely. Redness, red lines, or yellow discharge near your industrial piercing are signs the piercing could be infected. If you have these symptoms, or if you experience swelling or extreme pain, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. If you see crustiness around your piercing, don’t pick at it. Leave it so the doctor can examine it and take a sample. An industrial piercing can take anywhere from one month to six months to heal. Apart from cleaning your piercing, it is important that you avoid soaking it during this time. You should not soak the piercing while taking a bath, showering, or washing your hair. You should also avoid swimming. It is important that you wear clean clothes and sleep on clean sheets while your piercing is healing. If you do not, you can invite germs into your piercing. This can lead to unwanted and potentially serious infections.  Change your clothes every day. Put clean sheets on your bed at least once per week.

It is generally improperly processed deli meats or unpasteurized dairy products that are responsible for carrying Listeria bacteria, but it is also found in soil and on vegetables. Pay attention to any outbreaks of listeriosis that are reported in your area, or to any products that have been recalled from the supermarket due to concern of bacterial contamination. The risk of a serious infection is low for a healthy adult; however, if you fall into a high-risk category (elderly, pregnant, or having an otherwise weakened immune system), you may want to think carefully about eating these types of foods. If you are pregnant, it is advisable to avoid soft cheeses (such as blue cheese, brie, feta, camembert, and Mexican-style cheese), as well as deli foods for the duration of your pregnancy, in order to diminish your risk of contracting listeriosis. If you contract listeriosis while pregnant, there is the possibility it can be fatal for your unborn baby. Listeria is a resilient bacteria that is hard to get rid of once it has contaminated food products. Even freezing is not enough to get rid of the bacteria. Listeria is killed by by cooking, so make sure all meats are thoroughly cooked all the way through.

It is good to set aside time when you and your coach can talk one on one. At the beginning of practice, ask your coach if they have a few minutes afterwards to talk. This will give them a heads up that you need to discuss something, and they will not leave immediately.  You can say, “Hey coach, can we chat after practice today? I have something I need to discuss with you.” If your coach tries to ask you what you want to talk about, tell them, “I’d like to discuss my future on the team. We can talk more after practice.” When the time comes, you should let your coach know directly that you want to quit. By stating it in a clear, confident tone, you will demonstrate that you are serious. You might want to let them know that you have thought this decision over carefully and that this the right decision for you.  You can say, “I’ve been thinking this over for several weeks now, and I think I have to quit.” Another way you can say it is “It’s time for me to move onto other things. I need to leave the team.” You should give your coach reasons why you want to quit. While they may want to change your mind, by stating why you want to leave, you will demonstrate that you have thought this decision through completely.  You might say, “I have to focus on my other work right now. My grades have been slipping, and I need to focus on my GPA so that I can get a good job.” You can say, “I’ve been having pains in my leg, and I went to the doctor. I have a torn meniscus, and I won’t be able to play for a while. I think this will give me some time to pursue some other interests in my life.” If you have a doctor’s or teacher’s note, now would be the time to present it. Say, “I have a note from my doctor if that would help explain the issue.” Perhaps you are quitting because of a problem on the team or maybe your coach can accommodate some of your needs. If there is a reason why you might stay, you should inform your coach what it is. They may be willing to work with you to fix the issue.  You might say, “I will be honest. I’ve had...

It is great to incorporate their interests into math problems. For example, if your daughter loves horses, use toy horses to demonstrate math facts. If possible, try to find a horse workbook. This may peak interest regarding the work that needs to be completed. Although they may seem detached sometimes, autistic children are eager learners. Give them constant reassurance—this is very essential when learning to keep them motivated. It will also keep them happier and associate learning time with positivity. Instead of dreading it, they may recognize it as a time they get positive attention. In terms of language, if your child or student has low verbal skills do not use responses that call for a 'yes' or a 'no'. The confusion associated with the language barrier may interfere with learning math concepts. Using multiple-choice based questions makes this barrier a bit easier to handle. Having children replicate your actions is highly successful. For example, you collect four blocks, then they collect four blocks. Show them how you're left with three books, once one is put somewhere else. In essence, you are training the child to mirror you. She'll slowly see the conclusions of your actions and be able to draw conclusions herself when you're not around. Be conscious of their skill level and go from there. Your child may not be at their appropriate grade level, so focus on their skill level instead. Certain areas of math may come easier to them than others. This means that you may need to approach certain math topics at a different skill level than the next.  Just because a child is developmentally behind in terms of speaking does not mean they will be behind in math. Sometimes, disinterest indicates that the work is not challenging enough. If this happens, try giving them harder work, or leaving a more difficult workbook out and seeing if they interact with it. Autistic children struggle with remembering sequences. If the child is able to read, write each instruction down. If the child struggles responding to the...

It is hard to gauge how timely the renewal process is. Once in a while, the process backs up and it takes months and months. This isn't often, but it's best to take precaution. You may also want to renew your green card if it's been lost or stolen (if stolen, contact the emergency department), damaged, your information has changed, you have turned 14, or you have taken up commuter status. This form is available at the United States Citizenship and Immigration services website. Or, alternatively, you can file it on paper. The USCIS requires the form to be filled in completely. Processing will not begin until this is done.  The I-90 form can either be filed electronically (the fee may be paid simultaneously) or you can use the U.S. Postal Service. If you would like to receive one by mail, call the form orders line at 1-800-870-3676. Make sure you have a picture of the expiring green card that you can upload to the online application or have a printed copy of the expiring green card for the mail-in application. You may or may not be eligible to e-file. Check their website for more information. Currently, that fee is $540.00 and is subject to change. It includes an $85 fee for biometrics -- fancy talk for taking your fingerprints, taking your photo, and the electronically capturing your signature. This should be done online with your e-filing or included with your form when mailed in. They accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover cards.

It is hard to obtain refugee status to evade a draft. International law is not clear on the matter – refugees from military service are not included in the Geneva conventions nor necessarily excluded. Rather, your case depends in part on your civil and legal status at home. Talk with a lawyer over the merits of your case, if you can, before taking the uncertain step of applying for refugee status. The UN considers there to be five situations when refugee status is appropriate: if the punishment for objecting from conscience amounts to “persecution”; if you have objected to military acts that are atrocities or violate standards of international law; if you object to military service in conditions that amount to torture or inhumane treatment; if you are fleeing recruitment by a non-state group and the state is unable to protect you; or if you are a child resisting illegal recruitment. If you decide to pursue a refugee claim, be very careful with your choice of host country. You should file as a refugee in a country that will not send you back to your home country. For instance, the days of safely crossing the border to Canada as a US military objector are long over. While the legal landscape is not entirely clear, deserters and others can be arrested and deported to face trial under the terms of the current extradition treaty. Countries that don’t often deport US citizens include Ecuador, Russia, and Venezuela. The next step is to file a formal application seeking protection as a refugee. If you are outside of your target country, you will probably file as a refugee to the closest at the nearest embassy or consulate; if you are already inside the country or at a port of entry, you will apply as an asylum seeker. As part of your application you will also have to present proof of your claims of persecution.  Make sure to consult an attorney at this stage, if possible. She can guide you through the sometimes complicated legal forms. Keep in mind that the approval process will be lengthy. In Canada, for example,...

It is imperative that before applying makeup to another person, you always practice good hygiene and wash your hands to prevent the spread of disease.  Wet your hands under the tap of the sink with clean, running water. Apply soap. Lather the soap by rubbing your hands together with it in between your hands, scrubbing between fingers, under your nails, and on the backs of your hands. Do this for approximately 20 seconds. Turn the tap back on and rinse your hands thoroughly under the clean, running water. Dry your hands using a clean tower, paper towel, or you can air dry them. If you do not have clean water and soap available to you, you can use hand sanitizer as an alternative. However, hand sanitizer will not eliminate all types of germs and is not quite as effective as washing with clean water and soap. There are many types and colors of eye pencils available. You will want to choose one based on the kind of look you are going for.  Jumbo eye pencils are much larger in diameter than standard eye pencils. These can be used to apply a thick layer of eyeliner to the eyelid or even as an eyeshadow. Standard eye pencils are about the same diameter as a regular pencil used for writing. Sometimes the diameter is even smaller than that. Smaller eye pencils can be used to create a thin, defined line on the client’s eyelid. Eye pencils come in virtually every color and they can also come in shimmery and metallic colors. Browse the selection in stores near you or online to see what is available. In most cases, your imagination is the limit! Depending on the look that you would like to create, you will want to sharpen the eye pencil. This can be done with a regular pencil sharpener or with one specifically marketed for makeup. You will need to find a sharpener that is a suitable size for the eye pencil you would like to use.  A sharper pencil will create a thinner, more precise look. A dull pencil will create a thicker, less precise look. If this is what you desire, you may decide not to sharpen the pencil. You can...

It is important not to overdo this treatment or you hair could start looking greasy. Some think that coconut oil can help protect the proteins in your hair from the natural wear and tear it goes through day-to-day, such as being exposed to the sun and wind.  Warm up the coconut oil in a pan or the microwave just enough for it to melt. Do not try to apply hot coconut oil to your hair. Keep in mind that the coconut oil will become solid again once it cools, so use this treatment right away. Aloe vera may help your hair to grow faster and look more radiant. To make the mask, you’ll need to mix 1 ripe avocado, 1 tablespoon of linen oil, 1 tablespoon of warm honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, and 2 egg yolks. Massage this concoction into the roots of your hair and along the length of it as well. Wrap a warm towel around your hair for about half an hour, and then shampoo and condition as you normally would. . Massaging your scalp may help to release natural oils and this could lead to hair that is silky and smooth. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp all over. Use small circular motions to perform the massage. Repeat this treatment once daily.

It is important that you are respectful of other guests at your holiday destination. This means you need to be aware of your pet and its behavior at all times. You should stop barking, meowing, or chirping immediately and pick up all pet waste. Never leave your pet unattended in your hotel room. If you need to go somewhere your pet is not welcome, you should take your pet to a kennel for the duration of your day trip. If at all possible, you will want to bring your pet's bed with you to your holiday destination. You will want to make sure your pet feels at home during your holiday, and bringing along its bed will help ease the uneasiness that comes from being in a new or foreign location. If you can't bring your pet's bed, make sure you at least bring a familiar item, such as a blanket, that your pet can rest upon for the holiday. Your pet will be in a location that is not its home during your holiday travel. This can result in anxiety, uneasiness, or even excess energy. Bringing along your pet's favorite toy can help soothe frayed nerves and can also help your pet work out some of the pent up energy that it acquired from your road trip or the plane ride to your holiday destination. When traveling with your pet, it is important that you bring along enough food and snacks for the holiday. It is not wise to attempt to buy pet food once you reach your destination. You might not be able to find your pet's usual brand of food, and abruptly changing your pet's diet can wreak digestive and emotional havoc on your already disoriented pet.

It is important to be aware that there is a small chance that the home birth does not proceed as smoothly as expected. Complications to plan for and to be aware of include:  Labor that fails to progress quickly enough (as labor that stops mid-way or is moving very slowly can be dangerous for your baby). Finding meconium (feces) in the amniotic fluid — this can put your baby at higher risk of complications following birth and may be a sign that the baby is being stressed by the labor. Any signs that your baby is otherwise in distress, such as abnormal vital signs, or any signs along the way that your baby has health concerns or abnormalities. Problems with the placenta, such as "placental abruption" (when the placenta detaches from your uterus before delivery), or if the placenta is unable to be fully delivered following the birth of the baby (this poses a risk for dangerous bleeding for mother). Problems with the umbilical cord, such as "umbilical cord prolapse" (where the cord drops into your vagina before the baby and can potentially compromise your baby's flow of nutrients). Excessive vaginal bleeding. If any of the above complications do ensue, you will likely be advised to transfer the birthing process to the nearest hospital. Ideally, you will have chosen a location for the birth that is within close proximity of a hospital with 24-hour maternity care so that you can be transported there to receive professional help should an emergency situation arise.  The doctors may need to do an emergency c-section, or use medications to accelerate your labor if your baby's health is compromised. It is important to prioritize the health and wellbeing of your baby in situations such as these, because failure to receive professional medical care could forever compromise your future child's quality of life. Remember that having a healthy baby is the most important outcome of any birthing process; allow yourself to remember this if a change of plans becomes necessary and you are unable to safely proceed with a home...

It is important to clean the glass before removing any water. Use an aquarium sponge or clean soap-free cloth to remove algae and grime. Some fish owners leave algae, as it is preferable to green water and provides food for many fish. Still, it is best to remove some algae. By using the current tank water, you will cause less environmental stress on the fish. Make sure your temporary container is clean and has no soapy residue. If you are unsure of its cleanliness status, clean it with an aquarium-safe glass cleaner or a vinegar-based solution. . Be gentle and mindful. You may want to use two nets. Use one net to herd the fish into the other net. Put your fish in the temporary container with the original tank water. Never put them in tap water. Do not allow the fish to jump from the temporary tank. Put a cover on the tank. ). While you do not need to remove decorative items for every water change, remove them for cleanings. Put them on a towel, and rinse them with clean, room temperature water. You may use an algae pad or new toothbrush as well. Do not use detergent or soap to wash them. The fish will die from the toxicity of soap. If algae overwhelms your decorations, consider changing your feeding or maintenance routines. Place the bucket for catching the old water below the level of the fish tank. If possible, set the bucket on the floor or on a chair. Stability is important as is close proximity to the tank. It is best to buy a new bucket to use only for cleaning your fish tank. Residue from soaps or detergents can harm your fish. Remove fifty percent of the water at a time. An appropriate siphon is a small 3/8" hose that is four to five feet long. Slowly lower the complete siphon into the aquarium. Ensure that all the air is out of the tube. Plug one end of the tube with your finger and lift that end from the tank. Keep the other end in the water. Lower the removed end towards the bucket while keeping your finger in place. When you remove your finger, the water should flow into the bucket. Slowly...

It is important to get regular dental cleanings as you age. Not only will it keep your teeth nice and healthy, it will allow your dentist to identify any problems that are emerging before they get too serious. As you age, the nerves in your teeth become less sensitive. This means that you may not be able to feel it when problems begin to emerge. This is why it is so important to have regular exams as you age. If you do think that you have a problem with your teeth, you should get it looked at as soon as possible. Even if you are scared of the potential pain of a dental visit or you have a limited budget and you are concerned about the cost of dental procedures, it is still a good idea to get your issue checked out.  Paying for small dental problems to be fixed will cost you less in the long run than paying for larger dental problems. However, there may be budget options that you can employ, such as paying in installments, using insurance, or going to a dental school for treatment. Having dental pain can also impact your ability to eat enough food. If you have dental pain and it is impacting your life in this way, you should get it treated right away. Talk to your dentist about options of protective treatments that could give your teeth extra protection from wear and tear. Two common treatments are fluoride varnish and fissure sealants.  Fluoride varnish is a treatment in which a strong fluoride is applied to the teeth. This application makes the enamel on the teeth stronger and less likely to decay. It can be applied every six months. A fissure sealant is a plastic or resin coating that is applied to the crevices of the teeth. This coating protects the teeth from bacteria and food that might get stuck in the crevices. This coating can last up to 10 years.

It is important to keep the food refrigerated until you cook it. This means that it is better to barbecue in batches rather than leaving meat and other barbecue foods sitting out waiting in the open, uncooked. Bring each new batch for cooking direct from the fridge to the barbecue every time it is ready to be cooked. If you are marinating your meat be sure to let the meat marinade in the fridge. Don't re-use the marinade. Cover the cooked food to keep the insects landing on it. Ensure that all meats are cooked through. In particular, ensure that pork and chicken are properly cooked. It can be a little deceptive sometimes to see a charred outer casing of the meat, only to have uncooked flesh inside. Follow the cooking times suggested for each meat type. Once you have cooked you meat to the right temperature keep it hot until served— 140 °F (60 °C) or warmer.

It is important to know as much as you can about the topic you'll be speaking on. If you aren't already well-versed in the subject (e.g. because it has been assigned to you), do some research and learn as much as you can.  Especially if your topic is a controversial one, it's a good idea to know the arguments on all sides of the issue. Whatever argument you are making, you'll be more persuasive if you can address the views of the opposing side. Spend some time reading books or articles about your topic. You can go to the library and ask a librarian for help finding books, or just go online and find some articles. Make sure to use reliable sources, like major news organizations, or academic books or articles. Opinion-oriented sources, like editorials, talk radio, or partisan cable news, can be valuable for finding out what other people think about your topic. But, don't rely on them as your only source of information. They can be very biased. If you use them at all, make sure to read a variety of viewpoints on the matter, not just one side. It's important to understand exactly what it is you are trying to achieve with your speech. This way, you can tailor your content to fit your goals. For example, if your topic is recycling, it's important to know a lot about recycling. But, your speech will need to reflect exactly what you hope the audience will do. Are you trying to get people to vote in favor of a citywide recycling program? Or are you trying to convince them to sort out their glass and cans and put them in a separate bin? These will be different speeches, so having the goal spelled out early will help you craft your message. It is also important to understand your audience and their views and knowledge about the topic. This will also influence the content of your speech.  An audience that knows little about your topic will need more background information and simpler language. An audience made up of experts on the topic would likely find such a simple speech boring.  Likewise, an audience that already...

It is important to know that you are worthy because many individuals with guilt (including shame about stealing) may not believe that they deserve help. This often prevents them from seeking assistance. You do deserve help and understanding, and you are not alone. It is important to first identify the specific reasons why you steal in order to begin to change this behavior.  Do you steal for an emotional high? Do you feel initial tension, then a thrill of excitement that builds up prior to the theft and relief after it's done? Is this then followed by feeling guilt, shame and remorse? These are some signs that stealing may be a problem for you. Do you steal to escape? When stealing, do you feel different, as if you're not yourself or you're not in touch with reality? This is a fairly common state of feeling for individuals who steal. After you've discovered what drives your stealing behaviors, try free writing about your need to steal. Don't censor your feelings – everything you think about or feel is important to note. Be sure to name the feelings, such as anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, being creeped out, exposed, vulnerable, etc. that accompany the need to steal. Thinking about the consequences of your behaviors can help to reduce impulsivity. If you have been nearly caught, or have been caught (or caught several times), write all of this down. Also write down your own subsequent feelings, such as shame and guilt, and the actions you use to try to cope with these feelings or remorse or disgust, such as drinking too much, cutting yourself, destroying the things you've stolen, or other destructive actions. If you have been caught, how strong were the accompanying feelings? Why do you feel that even being caught isn't enough to overcome the need to steal? Write it all down.

It is important to know where you stacked up against the other candidates, or more importantly, how you compared to the person who was offered the job. Think about asking the following questions to understand why you were not chosen and what exactly the employer was looking for:  Can you give me a particular reason why I was not chosen for this job? What experience or abilities were you looking for that you felt I lack? Did you feel I would have fit in to your company culture? Were there any other factors besides my experience and abilities that prevented me from getting this job? If you handle taking some constructive criticism, it could prove very helpful for you in future. The recruiter or hiring manager understands your experience and has seen how you interview. There is always room for improvement in this area, even for experienced interviewees. Think about asking for constructive criticism on the following:   Applying for the right position. Should you continue to apply for this type of position with other companies? Do you have what it takes? For example, if you are applying for a director level position with only 3 years of management experience. At this point should you be looking for another management position or keep trying for director level?  Communication Skills. Can you properly communicate ideas and the extent of your experience in an interview?  Answering tough questions. Sometimes it is hard to answer questions about yourself. Do you just need some practice? If you have asked the questions stated above, you should make the effort to listen carefully to the answers. Staying quiet and listening to what they have to say is important and will help you in the future. Take notes based on their constructive criticism so you can refer back to these notes before applying for or interviewing for the next job that comes along. Although you are not guaranteed to get the next job you apply or even interview for, working on areas of improvement will reduce your chances of future rejection.  Think back to...

It is important to maintain an even tone and attitude when addressing an errant child.  Instead of screaming, "Get off the table now, or you're in big trouble!" in a loud voice and angry tone, calmly say "Please get off the table — you could fall and hurt yourself and I don't want that to happen."  If the child is being rude to you, use the same strategy. Tell them calmly to stop, and explain why you disapprove. For example, "Don't swear, it's not a nice way of talking and you sound so much nicer when you talk politely."  Let them know this is their only warning.  This is often enough to deter bad behavior. If the child continues to be disobedient, tell them their punishment and mete it out. Make sure they understand the connection between their behavior and the punishment. Maintain a calm demeanor throughout. Never make idle threats or you will lose all credibility with your child. Think before you threaten your child with a certain consequence.  Adhere to your stated intention immediately to maximize the connection between the child’s behavior and the punishment meted out. If you show leniency on one occasion, your child may take it as an indication that the rule is not to be taken seriously. After the child has finished their punishment, hug them or kiss them to show them you aren't mad anymore, and explain again why you don't want them to do that. Get them to repeat why you disapprove — it will make them more likely to remember. After that, say no more about the incident and move on. Sometimes a time-out is necessary, while other times, more severe forms of punishment (such as grounding or the elimination of certain privileges) are required. Whatever form the punishment takes, make sure it is fair. Make the punishment is age appropriate. Younger children have a much shorter attention span and will forget what they are being punished for after only a couple of minutes, so grounding them for a week is pointless; they will not understand the concept. Start with one minute in time out for each year of age and...

It is important to pinpoint what you would like to change about the appearance of your teeth first so that you articulate your goals to an orthodontist.  Some treatment options can only address certain dental issues, so having a clear picture of what you want your teeth to look like afterward is key. Dentists and orthodontists are different:  in addition to dentistry, orthodontists are also training in the complex development of teeth and facial form.  It is important to meet with an orthodontist to determine a treatment plan, not a dentist.  It is also important that they are board-certified because it ensures that they are licensed with the highest level of comprehensive treatment and training. In complex cases, an orthodontist may require the help of an oral surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon in order to establish a full treatment plan. You may have done some research on your own, but the only person who can tell you exactly what your options are when it comes to dental appliances is your orthodontist.  Sometimes braces are the only option for your dental needs.  If they’re not, discussing the other treatments with them and listening to their advice is essential.  Some helpful questions to ask include:  What is involved in the proposed treatment plan, and what are some consequences if I choose to not move forward with one of these options now? How do you determine the cost of treatment and what billing options are available?  Also, what insurance plans do you accept? What kind of post-treatment follow up is expected for this treatment option? Do you provide patient references or any before-and-after pictures of your work? It is recommended that you get two to three opinions before moving forward with a given treatment plan, especially if it’s recommended that you get teeth extracted or if your case is a complicated one.  Many orthodontists push braces even when there are other available options, but experts agree that there is usually no “one right way.” Meeting with a few orthodontists will help you find...

It is important to understand the difference between compulsive buying and impulsive buying. The distinction between the two depends on the person’s motivation, or intent for making the purchase.  Someone who is a compulsive buyer is more likely to have financial issues than an impulsive buyer. They might also have relationship distress with family and friends, and emotional confusion. A compulsive buyer is at higher risk of addictive behaviors. These addictive behaviors include the motive to shop to soothe uncomfortable internal emotional feelings, stress, and anxiety. An impulsive buyer is usually someone who buys things on a whim typically as a reaction to an external trigger. For example, you may see a desired item in a store window, and without thinking about your budget, you purchase it. If you find something you want to buy in the moment, ask yourself some questions before you make the purchase. Taking some time before you run to the register can help you decide on whether you need that item or not. Ask yourself, “Is this a want or a need? Can I afford it without any debt? Can it wait a month? Will it go on sale? Can I live without it? How will it affect my life?” It’s easy to swipe a credit card, but parting with cash is a bit more difficult. People who pay in cash tend to spend less than those who use a credit card. Consider putting your credit cards away and moving to a cash-only system.  Have cash budgets for each area you need like transportation, entertainment, and food. Put each week’s allotment in an envelope. If you’re buying things online, use a debit card instead of a credit card. Create a mandatory waiting period before you make a purchase. Many stores will put items on hold so that you can go home and come back another day if you still want it. You may really like an item now, but not feel so strongly about it a different day. Creating a waiting period can help you decide whether you really need it or not. Some people choose to wait a week before going back and purchasing an item. If you...

It is important you consider these two things simultaneously as this will determine everything from the content included in the book to its layout design and presentation.  Write for an audience that you already know. If you have worked as a college professor of mathematics, you might not know the best way to reach an audience of middle schoolers. If you are writing for an audience that is unfamiliar to you, consider hiring a collaborator who is familiar with this demographic. As you decide on a subject, consider which areas are underserved in modern education. Does your book fill a void in the market? Textbook publishing is big business -- far more so than traditional book or magazine publishers. You will need to research what comparable books exist on the market and how are they priced. Define your Unique Selling Point. The USP defines what makes your textbook special. What does it offer that no other textbook offers? You will need to explain to publishers and other teachers (who might become your customers) why they should pick your book over others. You should find colleagues who have also published textbooks and get feedback from them. Did they use a traditional publisher or did they self-publish? How long did it take them to complete their textbook? What did they wish they had known at the beginning of the writing process? Most textbooks now come in ebook form; some are only available in this format while others also have a corresponding hard copy. You should consider how you will adapt your textbook for a digital audience. Will you include a corresponding web site for the textbook where students can find practice test questions? Could you design fun games to help educate your audience (especially younger students)? Consider adding in these additional elements for the textbook. Writing a textbook can take a very long time -- sometimes, it will be years between the time you start to draft the book and the time it comes out into print. Are you prepared to invest this amount of time? Are you passionate...

It is impossible to tell the gender or sexual maturity of your fish before it has grown to three inches (eight centimeters) in length. This is typically when the sexual characteristics of your fish begin to develop. Sexual characteristics tend to occur after one year of age, although fish in aquariums may take longer to mature. If you are looking to breed your goldfish, you should carefully watch for the development of breeding characteristics at around one year of age.  Males will develop small white spots on the operculum (gill cover) and the pectoral fin. These white spots are called breeding tubercles. A female's abdomen will become fuller and rounder when it is ready to breed.  While it is impossible to accurately sex your fish before it has developed these physical characteristics, in general, males tend to be smaller and slimmer than females. When it is time to mate, male fish will chase the female fish around the tank. It will swim close to the female's abdomen, and you may notice it bumping into the female's stomach area. If you notice hundreds of clear, spherical eggs, your female fish has laid eggs. This is a definite sign of sexual maturity.  Some breeds, such as the Black Moor or Shubunkin goldfish, mate only in summer, while the common goldfish can mate at any time of year, provided it has proper tank conditions.  Goldfish that live in ponds will typically mate in spring.

It is likely that you'll first discover your allergy by having an unexpected allergic reaction. It may be difficult to recognize these symptoms if you've never had a reaction before, but learning the signs to look out for will help you take the right steps that could save your life. The following symptoms are considered mild and don't require emergency medical attention. Mild symptoms, however, can progress into a more serious reaction, so monitor your condition for at least an hour after these symptoms show.  Sneezing and mild coughing Watery, itchy, and red eyes A runny nose Itching or redness on the skin; often this will progress into hives. Hives are red, itchy swollen areas on the skin - they can vary in size from small bumps to large welts measuring several inches (centimeters) in diameter. For mild reactions with symptoms that don't progress, an antihistamine is typically the only treatment you'll need. There are a variety for you to choose from, and it would be wise to keep several in your home at all times in the event of allergies. Always take these medications as labels indicate.  Benadryl. This is most often recommended for reactions involving hives because it works fast. It can be taken with or without food and you should drink a full glass of water with each dose. Do not exceed 300mg within a 24-hour period or you risk overdose. Note that Benadryl usually causes drowsiness, so use caution if driving or operating machinery. If you experience drowsiness, stop these activities.  Claritin. This is typically used to treat seasonal allergies and hay fever, though it can be effective against hives. It can be taken with or without food. It usually does not cause drowsiness, but it is still a possible side effect, so monitor your condition before driving or operating machinery. Typically Claritin should only be taken once a day.  Zyrtec. Typical dosage is 5-10mg per day, with or without food. A potential side effect is confusion or impaired alertness, so use caution if driving while on Zyrtec.  Allegra....

It is more likely that your system of equations will not have a pair of matching or opposite coefficients. When you line up the two equations and compare coefficients, unless two coefficients (the A and B of the standard format) match exactly, you need to take a couple extra steps.  For example, consider these two initial equations:  3x+2y=6{\displaystyle 3x+2y=6} 8x−4y=2{\displaystyle 8x-4y=2}   When you examine them, there are no matching coefficients for similar terms. That is, the 3x does not match the 8x, and the 2y does not match the -4y. There is also no pair of opposites. Examine the two equations and decide what number you could use to multiply one of the equations, to create a pair of matching or opposite coefficients. For example, given the system 3x+2y=6{\displaystyle 3x+2y=6} and 8x−4y=2{\displaystyle 8x-4y=2}, you should be able to see that the first equation contains a term 2y{\displaystyle 2y} and the second equation contains a term -4y{\displaystyle 4y}. If you double the first term, you will have a pair of opposite coefficients.  Multiply each term of the equation to create a new equation for solving. In this example, multiply each term of the first equation by 2{\displaystyle 2}. This will turn the original equation 3x+2y=6{\displaystyle 3x+2y=6} into 6x+4y=12{\displaystyle 6x+4y=12}. Notice that you now have a pair of opposite coefficients in the y{\displaystyle y} terms of 4y{\displaystyle 4y} and -4y{\displaystyle 4y}. In some cases, you may need to do a double multiplication, or use a fraction. For example, in the system 2x−3y=2{\displaystyle 2x-3y=2} and 5x+2y=1{\displaystyle 5x+2y=1}, there are no coefficients that are simple integer multiples of each other. You could multiply the first equation by 5/2{\displaystyle 5/2} to create 5x−152y=5{\displaystyle 5x-{\frac {15}{2}}y=5}, and now the x{\displaystyle x} coefficients are ready to be canceled. Alternatively, if you prefer not to work with fractions, you could multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 2. This would...

It is natural and normal to feel grief before you feel acceptance. Don't shy away from admitting, at least to yourself, that you are going through a difficult time. Understand yourself as best you can and don't reject your emotions out of hand. Instead, just focus on keeping them under control. Nothing helps soothe the pain of seeing the girl you can't be with better than simply not being around her as much. This doesn't necessarily have to mean ceasing all contact, but it will mean seeing her less, which may sound awful but is actually the best way to start getting on with the rest of your life. If you're currently friends, stop making the first move. Only spend time with her when she calls you; don't call her yourself and ask to spend time together. You'll still see each other occasionally, but in most cases you'll see a sharp decline in the amount of time you spend together – and an increase in your personal free time. Nothing says “just friends” as clearly as a refusal to go out of your way for one person in particular. Doing favors for someone because you are attracted to them will only lead to your feeling used and misunderstood further down the line. Just as importantly, doing favors for a girl will only have one of two possible effects on her: One, she will assume you are naturally that giving, and begin taking your favors for granted, or two, she will assume you are trying to ingratiate yourself to her in exchange for the possibility of a date, which will make her uncomfortable around you.  If you buy her gifts without asking (or just because she said she wanted something), cover her tab in cafes and restaurants, offer your services as a driver, or otherwise treat her differently than you would treat any of your other friends, that is a favor and it is important that you stop. Put potential favors through a simple test.  When you find yourself about to do something for the girl you are trying to get over, ask yourself if you would be so willing to do the same thing for a good male friend. If not, you...

It is never a good idea to do a back bend or bridge like pose without properly stretching and warming up first.   Make sure you stretch your arms, neck, shoulders, back, hips and legs. Hold each stretch for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Don't overstretch. You can injure yourself by pushing a stretch too far. This is a position in yoga where you bend your back from lying face down on the mat.  Lay on your stomach with your hands on the ground, shoulder width apart, slightly in front of your head. Press the upper half of your body off the floor, pushing down with your arms. Your legs and hips should stay on the ground. Take the stretch as far as you can go. A common problem for beginners is not being able to extend the arms the whole way. The only way to be able to gain enough flexibility to do this is to practice this position and regular stretching. This will gently stretch your back. It can be difficult to get into this position, but it will get better with practice.  Lay on your stomach with your arms and legs straight. Reach your arms past your sides and towards your feet. Bend your legs at the knee and grab your ankles with your hands. Lift your upper and lower body off of the mat and rock back and forth gently. This can be very hard for people who are not flexible. If you are having trouble getting into the position, try some stretching exercises or yoga to improve flexibility.
