Strep throat is contagious bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as group A streptococcus. Although the hallmark symptom of strep throat is a sore throat, not all sore throats are a result of an bacterial infection caused by streptococcus. In fact, most of the time, sore throats are a result of common viruses and do not need treatment.  However, if you do have strep throat treatment is important, as it can cause serious complications including spreading of infection to blood, skin and other organs, rheumatic fever that can affect your heart and joints, and kidney inflammation. The most common age group affected is five to 15 years old, however anyone can get strep throat. Seeking medical attention is important because doctors can do quick tests to determine if the infection you have is strep throat. Sometimes you may have symptoms of strep throat, but you may not actually have strep throat. One important thing to keep in mind is that there is no cough with strep throat. Symptoms of strep throat may include any of the following:  flu like illness lasting for two to five days fever (which worsens on the second day) sore throat, stomach ache nausea, lack of energy difficulty swallowing, headache swollen lymph nodes rash Based on your symptoms your doctor may recommend coming in for a throat swab strep test. This will only take a few minutes and is the only way to definitively diagnose strep throat. You cannot diagnose strep throat just by looking at it.  The “throat swab” test is a rapid antigen test. This test detects strep bacteria in a few minutes. It works by looking for substances (antigens) in the throat. Although this is fast, it may not always be accurate. In some cases, the swab test will come back negative even if you have strep throat. If your doctor thinks that you have strep throat, s/he may culture the test  to see if the streptococcus bacteria grows on the swab in the next one to two days.  If your swab test or culture comes back positive, your doctor will prescribe a...

Stress, particularly chronic stress,  can be one of your immune system's worst enemies.  Studies have consistently shown that there is a direct relationship between people who self-identify as stressed and reduced immunity/increased illness.  Meditate or do yoga to encourage a more peaceful outlook on life. When possible, address the source of the stress.  If there is an individual person or an aspect of your job that causes you great stress, try reducing your contact with the person or activity if possible. Try going to therapy if you feel like you need help addressing and dealing with deep-seated or long-term stress. People who feel happier and spend more time laughing and smiling have healthier immune systems. Finding a source of humor for yourself—and allowing yourself to have a sense of humor, even if you are a generally sensitive person—can help your emotional health and your immunity.  Find a funny TV show or movie that makes you laugh and relax. Watch online videos of animals or babies doing funny things. Find a comedian/comedienne who you particularly like and download podcasts of his/her standup routine. Read comic strips or humorous print materials. Spend more time with a friend who you find particularly funny. You could even tell her why you want to spend more time with her, which could make her proud of her sense of humor. Socializing can help boost your mental health and thus your immunity.   While this may seem like it is higher-risk because being around other people (and their germs) exposes you to potential illnesses, the benefit of feeling socially content far outweighs any potential germ exposure. Spending time with people whom you consider friends is preferable, but talking to coworkers or casual acquaintances also helps. If you have social anxiety or live or work in a situation in which you have limited access to other people, bonding with a special pet can be a reasonably effective substitute for human contact.  Be sure you find a pet with a great personality, who interacts with you and...

Stretch out the wire so that it is long enough to reach the unlock button or the post.  Untwist the hooked portion, then straighten it completely, leaving only the curved end in its original shape. To unwind the part of the wire hanger that is twisted around itself, it helps to use a pair of pliers.  The coat hanger should be shaped like a relatively straight line with a curved hook on the end when you’re done.  You may want to wear gloves while untwisting the hanger to avoid poking yourself in the hand. Using pliers will make untwisting the hanger easier. You will need to bend the hook of the coat hanger down into a shape that can grip the door lock post.  A small “V” or check mark shape will be the easiest shape to fit through a small gap that can also do the job.  Use a pair of pliers to fold the end of the straightened coat hanger until the span of the check mark is tight enough to hook the post.  Many door lock posts have a groove or ridge that will make it easier to grip when using a coat hanger for this purpose. You may need to bend the hanger into a few different sized check marks or “V” shapes until you have one that will grip the post. If the window is open slightly, you will not need to pry it out at all.  However, if the window is shut, you will need to slide a narrow wedge into the gap between the window and door frame and pry the window out away from the vehicle.  Be extremely careful doing this, as applying too much pressure will break the window.  A wider prying surface such as a paint scraper is a better choice than something narrow like a screw driver. Once pried open, place something like a folded up piece of cloth or rubber into the gap to hold it open. Grip the end of the coat hanger that is opposite from the “V” shape you made with pliers.  Slip the hanger into the gap you created between the window and door frame.  If the lock post is too close to the rear side of the car door, you may need to approach it from the front instead.   It is important that you get to the post in a direction...

Stretch them out over a solid, smooth surface that’s large enough to hold the entire pair of pants. If you’re trying to find your optimal inseam, pick a pair of jeans that fit you well and whose legs are your preferred length. Measuring a pair of jeans works best if the jeans are properly fitted to your body type. To get more accurate measurements, smooth out the jeans to remove any folds or creases. If they’re altering the jeans’ overall shape, button and zip the pants up. If the legs do not lie straight, making them difficult to measure, fold the jeans in half vertically so the legs are lined up. Place the tip of a soft tape measure on the jeans’ crotch seam. Measure down in a straight line until you reach the hem of the pants. The number listed on your tape measure will be the jeans’ inseam.

Stretch your ankles by sitting down on the floor and rotating both feet in full circles in both directions. Next, loosen up your hamstrings by standing up and pulling first your left foot and then your right up so it touches your buttocks. Hold the stretch on each side for about thirty seconds. Finally, rotate your wrists and neck several times.  You can use your hands to rotate your feet. Be gentle when rotating your neck. Go slowly and don’t push your neck in any direction that causes pain. You should stretch before every practice session. This move will help you gain vertical momentum. Focus on jumping upward with as much vertical force as you can. Practice taking a few running steps, bending your knees slightly, and then jumping straight up. Your hands should be high in the air with your elbows by your ears.  You'll land with your knees bent at about 1 foot (30 cm) lower than your regular standing position with your arms up straight in front of you. After you land with your feet on the ground, you can straighten your body and lift your arms in the air for a graceful finish. Once you've developed the basic "punch jump," repeat this move while tucking your knees up toward your chest instead of keeping them straight as you jump. This will prepare you for the rotation part of the flip. Start with the "punch jump" and then tuck your knees as you rotate forward, landing with your knees bent before you straighten up. The trampoline will help you feel safe and secure while you perfect your rotation. Have a knowledgeable spotter stand by you as you practice the flip. The spotter should keep their hand on or near your stomach so they can help you rotate forward. The mat and block will help get you even more ready to do the flip on the floor. It’ll be a bit harder to do your flip because you won't have the extra upward bounce that the trampoline gave you. You'll have to work on gathering your own momentum. Good momentum comes from a really good jump, so be sure to keep doing your “punch jump.”

Stretching and working out your facial muscles can keep blood circulating and fine lines and wrinkles from developing. Repeat these exercises once or twice a day to help your skin be firmer and appear more youthful firmer.  Put a hand on your forehead and push your head against it. Stay in this position for 10 seconds. Sit upright and lift your head back so that your chin is pointing toward the ceiling with your lips closed. Make a chewing motion with your mouth and feel your facial muscles working. Repeat this exercise about 20 times. Tilt your head to the ceiling again and pout your lips in a kissing motion. Repeat this exercise twice by pouting your lips for twenty seconds each time. Whenever you use your facial muscles, it causes a groove to form under your skin. As your skin ages and loses elasticity, it can no longer fill this groove and cause fine lines and wrinkles. Varying your facial gestures may help to keep your facial skin firm longer. Incorporate regular exercise into your lifestyle as well. It not only promotes blood circulation and keeps you healthy, but may also help your skin appear more youthful. Some studies have shown that a nutritionally well-balanced diet can protect your skin and delay aging and loss of elasticity. Consuming face friendly foods like fruits and vegetables may promote more youthful skin.  Avoid foods high in fat and sugar, which may slow cell turnover and make your skin appear older. Eat foods high in vitamin A and beta-carotene like fruits and vegetables increase cell turnover for healthier skin. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables are high in vitamin A and beta-carotene. Incorporate foods high in vitamin C like citrus fruits, which studies have shown may promote younger looking skin. Have food high in essential fatty acids, such as walnuts or olive oil, to keep skin cells hydrated. Avoid food high in unhealthy fats, which could make your skin appear less youthful. Remember that unhealthy food takes the place nutrient-rich choices that can promote healthy skin....

Stretching is an important part of almost any exercise routine. Running is no exception. When you stretch, you're warming up the muscles in your body and getting them pumped up for the hard work that you're about to do. One good stretch is called "the Stork." Stand up straight. Bring one foot up behind you toward your bottom. Gently grab it with one hand (you can support yourself against a wall with your other hand if necessary). Put light tension on your leg until you feel a stretch in your quadriceps (the front of your thigh). Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat with the other leg. Before you run, speed up your heartbeat and get your blood pumping by taking a two-minute jog. You'll get a slight boost of energy and it will be easier to focus on running quickly. As long as your warmup isn't too intense, you won't be too tired to give your run your best effort. For most runners, going on a run every day or every other day is best. The key here is consistency. To see long-term results, you need to stick to your exercise schedule and slowly ramp up the difficulty over time. If you quit or fail to challenge yourself, your performance may plateau or even decrease. Take 10 minutes each day for an interval run. As you run, follow this pattern: sprint for 10 seconds, then rest by jogging for a minute. Repeat for 10 minutes. To challenge yourself, every week add a few seconds to your sprinting time and shorten your breaks. Over time, you will be able to run faster and longer. Try competing with a friend slightly faster than yourself. It will give you the motivation of winning, and it will be much more challenging than running by yourself or with someone slower than you. Don't run with someone much faster than you, or you might consider giving up.

Strong negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger can lead to self-destructive behaviors. Finding new ways of coping with these triggers is crucial to reducing self-destructive behaviors. More than likely, there are triggers that precipitate your self-destructive patterns. Use the activities in the previous step to identify thoughts, feelings, and situations that trigger self-destructive tendencies. These will include not just your feelings, but the specific situations which seem to coincide with self-destructive behaviors.  Continue working in your journal. Keep a page devoted solely to identifying and tracking your triggers to self-destructive behaviors. For example, some triggers to drinking alcohol might be: when my mother yells at me, when I feel stressed out or overwhelmed, when I hang out with friends who drink, and when I am home alone and feeling lonely. Actively avoid situations that trigger you. For instance, if you want to reduce your drinking, but you know that if you hang out with certain people that will try to pressure you to drink alcohol, avoid this situation altogether. Instead of putting yourself in a potentially risky situation where it may be difficult to say no, give an excuse or explain that you are in recovery. Is important to understand how to cope with these triggers (situations, emotions, and thoughts) to self-destructive behaviors. In addition to changing your specific thoughts, you can also actively change your self-destructive behavior or replace it with a new behavior that is more effective in helping you cope.  Try communicating with your higher power, if you believe in a power greater than yourself. Sometimes, we need to talk about something to let go of it. Try new activities. Find alternatives to your self-destructive behaviors that don't cause more harm than good. For example, you could try: writing, painting, coloring, sports, camping, hiking, walking, collecting things, helping others, or gardening. Avoid trying to immediately escape an emotion. Focus on longer...

Students learn more effectively when they feel a friendly connection with their tutor. Build this rapport by greeting your student with a friendly smile, asking how they are doing, and truly listening to their answer. Take everything they say seriously, and respond thoughtfully. This doesn't mean that you should chat through your whole session. It just means that you should show interest in your student as a person, and let them see you as a person as well. Once you know your student better, you can tailor lessons to their interests and abilities. Start out by asking your student what they know about the subject. Listen for gaps—this is where you'll begin to fill in material they'll need to know.  Involve your student's interests in your lesson. For instance, if your student is really excited about a sports team, you can use that team's financial struggles as the basis for your math lesson. If you notice your student responds better to certain kinds of teaching, such as talking, reading, or hands-on practice, you can modify your lesson plans to favor this. Come in every day and make it very clear that you want to be there, you want to teach them the subject at hand, and that you know they can learn the material. Have confidence in yourself as a tutor, and have confidence in them that they will learn and grow during the session. Make sure you thoroughly understand the material your student is learning even if it is not obviously interesting. If you pay attention to how something works, you will gain interest in it.

Studies have shown again and again that grooming is the most important element of attractiveness.  Shower often. You shouldn’t necessarily style your hair like you’re going to prom all the time, and don’t feel like you need to spend hours with the curling iron and hairspray, but be sure your hair looks clean.  Sometimes the amount and type of grooming that you will do depends on the type of person you want to attract. Some people are more attracted to a rugged, outdoors type, while others prefer a more put-together appearance. Smell your best. Wear deodorant, and bathe regularly, but don’t overdo it on the perfume, body spray, or lotion.  You don’t want to make your crush sneeze or get a headache because you are wearing too much scent. In general, research shows that neat, well fitting, and more formal clothes are considered the most attractive.  That is, clothes should be free of holes, well-laundered, flattering to your shape, and typically on the classier side.   That said, it all depends on who you’re trying to attract. Some people find a more casual look appealing. No matter what style you choose, pick clothing that you feel good in, so that you will look and feel more confident. Some researchers believe that wearing red makes you more attractive. According to one study, teeth are “the human equivalent of a peacock’s tail.”  The study showed that people with whiter, brighter, more evenly spaced teeth were rated more attractive than others. Be sure to brush and floss those pearly whites, and if you’ve had the privilege of orthodontia, wear your retainer!

Studies have shown that continuous chronic stress can lead to abdominal obesity or excess fat levels.  Managing stress better may help you lose weight and decrease excess fat levels.  In addition, chronic stress can make it difficult to lose weight.  You might feel hungrier and crave more "comfort foods" when you're stressed. Try to engage in relaxing activities to help you relieve stress in your life.  For example, try:  meditating, going for a walk, listening to music, talking to a friend or doodling. If you're having difficulty managing stress, consider seeing a behavior therapist for stress management.  These health professionals can give you additional guidance and techniques to better manage your stress. Like stress, poor sleeping habits can also make weight loss and decreasing excess body fat more difficult.  Studies have shown that those people who don't sleep well or sleep enough pack on more body fat and lose more lean muscle mass.  In addition, your levels of ghrelin (your hunger hormone) increase which stimulates your appetite.  Aim for at least 7-9 hours of sleep each night.  This amount is recommended for adults. Try going to bed earlier or sleeping in later to help you meet your nightly goal. Also, try turning off cell phones, laptops and TVs prior to going to sleep.  This helps you get a more sound sleep. Studies have shown that regular weigh-ins help you stick to your diet longer term.  Help yourself stick to your diet plan by getting on the scale on a regular basis.  Knowing that you have a regular weigh-in can help motivate you to stay on track with your diet and exercise routine. Try to weigh yourself one to two times a week.  This will give you the most accurate view of your weight loss trend. Remember, although you want to lose body fat, you'll see the reduction of body fat reflected in your overall weight loss.

Studies have shown that having an education - even a primary education - can help low-income workers earn more money and find a better economic situation.  Employers look for educational achievements. Even having a high school degree will reduce the risk of unemployment and increase the average lifetime earnings of most working adults.  In the United States, 54 percent of high school dropouts between the ages of 16 and 24 are unemployed. For high school graduates, that number decreases to 32 percent of people in the same age bracket, and it decreases even further to 13 percent of college graduates. Beyond the professional opportunities that an education affords people, having an education may also be correlated with living a better life in general. Some studies suggest that people who stay in school are less likely to end up having legal troubles later in life.  College graduates with a bachelor's degree earn an average of $1.64 million dollars more than high school dropouts over the course of a lifetime. High school graduates earn an average of $429,280 more than high school dropouts over the course of a lifetime.  Having an education (and subsequently getting a better job) may make people less likely to commit crimes for fear of losing what they've worked for.  The average high school dropout in America has a one in 10 chance of being arrested, whereas the average high school graduate only has a one in 35 chance of being arrested.  Some studies suggest having an education can also make people more patient, and therefore less likely to be overcome by anger or violent tendencies. Having an education is typically associated with an increased ability to provide for your family. That means not only being able to help financially support your family, but also providing younger relatives with a positive role model, and inspiring them to pursue an education.

Studies have shown that millennials seem to trust user-generated content more than content created by marketers. Thus, try to use user-generated content in your advertising campaigns whenever you can.  Take advantage of Instagram, Snapchat, and other services to gather and channel user-generated content into your marketing campaign. For instance, you may set up a “selfie” contest and have users submit their own selfie with your product. Use submitted selfies in future ad campaigns. Use the wiki approach to gather user-generated content. Create channels that users and others can contribute to your marketing campaign. As a group that are very in-tune to their peers' opinions and tastes, millennials are very interested in user created review videos. They see these videos as authentic and honest.  Hire millennials to review your product. Create videos based on these reviews. Keep the videos short and packed with information. Consider creating an “unboxing” video of your product, in which a millennial opens the product and explains the virtues of the product. Guerilla marketing is a type of marketing that is relatively low-cost and focuses on unconventional approaches to promoting a product. This approach is often distributed and comes across as organic to the consumer. Millennials, as a group, have been shown to be very open to guerrilla marketing.  Hire someone to demonstrate or show off your product in very public areas. For instance, create a giant coffee cup and have someone give samples of coffee on a busy public street. Provide branding stickers in your products. If someone likes your product a lot, they might put the sticker on the back of their car or elsewhere. Apple and the maker of Yeti products have successfully used this marketing approach.

Studies have shown that students who receive pre-trip instructions and lessons learn and retain more from the trip than those who had no pre-trip preparation. For example, if you are doing a unit on animal habitats and are going to visit a zoo at the end of the unit, you may want to begin by learning about different ecosystems and habitats in the classroom:  Have your students study the habitats of a variety of animals they will see at the zoo. Then ask them to record the features of the habitats that the zoo provides for the same animals. Have them compare the natural habitats to the constructed zoo habitats to see if they are getting a similar type of lifestyle. Prepare your students for the field trip by explaining to them the activities they will be expected to perform throughout the day. Going over a detailed schedule in advance will allow students time to prepare.  This will also give you the opportunity to provide any instructions, which will save time on the day of the trip. You could also brainstorm questions that the class may want to ask of the instructors at the site. Alternately, you could teach your students how to ask thoughtful questions. Discuss all behavioural expectations prior to the trip as well as any and all consequences that students will face if they misbehave. For example, if you are attending a museum you may want to remind students to be quiet, respectful, and avoid touching any of the museum artifacts. Failure to do so, may result in a call home to their parents. By outlining your expectations clearly, you will likely run into less problems on the day.  Outline expected behaviour during transit as well. For example, students must remain seated while on the bus and should not distract the bus driver. Regardless of the type of trip you are taking you should always clearly outline certain safety precautions in advance. For example, if you are taking a group of young students on a field trip, you should go over traffic safety beforehand.  Depending on the type of trip you may want to...

Studies have shown that taking short, frequent breaks improves your productivity and decreases your boredom. After an hour or so of work, stand up and take a short walk outside or take a cigarette break. Alternatively, go make yourself a fresh cup of coffee and chat with your coworkers. Some other break ideas include:  Volunteering to run an errand. This will help you escape your workplace for a while. Taking a short nap Playing your favorite mobile game for a few minutes The less boring your environment is, the less bored you’ll be. You can add interest to your surroundings by cleaning your work area, displaying cool artwork, or covering the handles of work-related tools in cute stickers.  For example, if you work in a cubicle or office, add some excitement to your walls with prints and posters. If you work in retail, buy some new clothes to freshen up your work look. Break the monotony of your daily schedule by planning small treats for yourself. For example, plan a small walk around the park during your lunch break. Similarly, you can bring your favorite coffee mug and a tea blend to keep in the break room. Whenever you’re bored or discouraged, pep yourself up with a cup of tea. Focus on healthy treats and rewards. If you don’t, you may replace your boredom problem with a weight-gain problem.

Studies show that a large percentage of ER patients (in some hospitals it approaches 50%) arrive with a non-urgent care need — in other words, their injury or problem is not a life-threatening emergency. These patients take up time and hospital personnel to triage (diagnose and prioritize treatment), which makes ER waits dangerously long for those with really serious injuries. As such, once ER personnel diagnose a condition as non-urgent, they should quickly educate the patient on appropriate use of ER services and then re-route them to caregivers in other hospitals and clinics.  Some patients prefer going to the ER regardless of their injury because they're open 24-hours, contain board-certified emergency practitioners, move people through relatively quickly (usually within a few hour) and they can't turn anyone away by law. Consider an urgent care clinic if your issues aren't life-threatening. It's estimated that between 14% and 27% of all ER visits in the U.S. could be handled at non-emergency clinics and health centers. Greeting, registering, examining and then prioritizing a patient and their injury (triaging) can be time consuming, especially if an ER department is under-staffed and/or run inefficiently. Changing patient flow by having a nurse or physician examining a patient in triage shortly after their arrival to the ER can dramatically speed up encounters, weed out the non-urgent cases and reduce throughput times for patients who have life-threatening injuries.  According to 2009 data, patients who needed to be seen in less than 14 minutes to have the best chance of survival were being seen in twice that amount of time (37 minutes) — ER waits are estimated to be even longer in more recent years.  Registering patients at their bedsides can reduce ER wait times also. Names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. don't necessarily need to be collected before caregivers assess a patient's injury and triage them. One of the biggest causes of crowding and wait times in ER departments is "boarding" — a term used...

Studies show that physical activity can ease menstrual cramp pain. Taking a brisk walk, light jog, or swim can help your cramps. There is no need to work out too hard during your period. Doing some exercise, though, can make you feel fitter and happier. These substances can worsen menstrual cramps. Alcohol can leave you feeling dehydrated. In any case, do not use alcohol in conjunction with painkillers. Drink at least 9 cups (2.2 liters) of filtered water daily. Your body is losing fluid and blood during menstruation. By staying hydrated, your body will feel less weak and you will be more energetic. Beverages with electrolytes like sports drinks or coconut water also can help you feel better. Coconut water has more potassium than a banana and is a great natural source of hydration. Psychological stress can increase the severity of your cramps. Consider doing yoga exercises to calm your body. Stretching also can help alleviate your cramps. Almost every woman will menstruate during her life. It is a completely healthy, natural process. Do not be ashamed of your period. You can live life normally during menstruation. If you feel uncomfortable about having your period, talk to a trusted friend or adult.

Studies show that workers who take short breaks more regularly are happier and more productive than workers who take one long break during a shift. If you have any control over the way you take breaks, it's better to give yourself 5-10 minutes every hour or two, instead of an hour off in the middle of the day. It's also important to take time off and stay away from work for a while, as well. Taking some time off helps to energize workers and allow them to come back to work more productive. If you have vacation time, use it. If you don't, allow yourself the occasional "mental health" day if you can afford it. Call in sick. It's necessary to help keep yourself happy and productive. If you work with a bunch of strangers, your job will be a lot less enjoyable. Try to get to know a few people at work that you can talk to. This gives you something to look forward to when you clock in for the day.  Try to organize after-work drinks, or birthday celebrations whenever possible. Giving yourself a time to socialize about non-work-related stuff will help you to bring everyone closer together and make your work relationship stronger as well.  Avoid coworkers who regularly complain about work, or who try to slack off while you're at work. Hanging with this crowd will always have you feeling bummed to be at work, instead of energized about the day. Try to hang out with the more positive crowd at your job. One way to entertain yourself at work is to give yourself little challenges to improve. This will not only keep you in good standing with the management, but will also give you a little challenge in addition. If you're the competitive sort, this can be a great way to motivate you to improve.  Give yourself a work-related challenge in the short term.

Signs that you are a close, intimate couple include, but are not limited to: Shared finances, shared household responsibilities, close sexual intimacy, consistent communication, etc. If you or your boyfriend show signs that you are interested in other people, the relationship might not be stable enough.  If there was an agreement in the beginning that this would be a "fling" it might also not be safe to reveal information about your past.  In general, you should be monogamous partners who are intimate with one another. If your relationship is only a few days or weeks old it is generally not the right time yet to reveal something important about your past.  You will want your strengths to shine as a couple before you begin to delve into potential weaknesses.  Revealing something this early in the relationship might also potentially turn your boyfriend off from being in a relationship with you.  While all couples are different, just make sure that the timing is right (at, or around, a few months in). The time you spend with your boyfriend, whether it be in the car or on serious dates, is critical to gauging what type of man he truly is.  Use your current knowledge and memory base to discern whether or not he is the best person to tell something to about your past.  Look for signs such as gift giving, kisses, holding hands, consistent text messages/phone calls, etc.  These demonstrate that your boyfriend loves and cares about you. Spend time thinking about what you see for your future.  Does your future involve your boyfriend, and do you see yourself getting even more serious with him?  A potential long-term partner is someone you will want to share vital information with. Know who you are talking to.  Men vary widely, so it is critical to...

Studying history involves memorizing lots of dates, names, events, and other facts. Look through your notes and textbook and identify keywords. Make a list of them, then create flashcards with a word on one side and its definition or explanation on the other. You can even use an app like quizlet to create flashcards digitally. If you have trouble coming up with a list, try asking your teacher what key dates, figures, and other information might show up on the test. Seeing, saying, hearing, and touching at the same time help your brain make stronger connections and memorize information more easily. Try reading your textbook out loud as you study, and say what you’re writing as you create your flashcards. You could also try recording yourself reading your textbook or flashcards. As you listen to the recording, follow along in your notes or flashcards. Memorization can be boring, but using quick, silly ways to remember facts can add a little fun. Even better, they’re also an effective way to keep your facts straight. For example, the mnemonic device Neighbors Actually Persuaded Lovely Yvonne To Shut Her Window will help you memorize the British royal families in chronological order: Norman, Angevin, Plantagenet, Lancaster, York, Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, and Windsor.

Studying multiple languages can feel like a daunting task. To avoid burnout, include some fun language-learning activities into your study time. Watch movies or shows with subtitles in one of the languages you’re learning, listen to music in your new language, or find native speakers of the language that you can talk to and practice with. Joining a local conversation group or language exchange for the languages you’re learning can be a great way to stay motivated and meet new people. You can use a website like meetup.com or your local newspaper to find a group like this. You can also join a virtual language exchange through a website like iTalki. Be sure to schedule time each day to practice at least one of your languages. In addition to the scheduled time, you can label items around your house in the different languages, or change the language settings on your phone and computer. You can also listen to music in your target languages, watch TV shows or movies in the different languages, and consume other media in those languages. Small changes like this will give you little bits of language practice even when you’re not formally studying. To stay motivated, it helps to have a solid reason for why you want to learn the new languages. Find something that you care about to help you get motivated to keep learning. Some ideas are to plan a trip to a country that speaks one of the languages you’re learning, or join a volunteer group for helping speakers of that language get accustomed to life in your country. Don’t forget to celebrate all of your small accomplishments! Allow yourself to take breaks as a reward, or treat yourself to a dessert that is traditional to a country that speaks a language you’re learning. Planning a trip to a country that speaks the language is also a perfect way to reward yourself.

Studying out loud is a very helpful way to remember information. If you hear information and talk about it, you’re more likely to remember it. Just make sure you choose a friend who probably studied and understands the material. Ask your friend if the two of you can exchange notes so you can read theirs quickly. After your friend has told you what they remember learning from studying, repeat what they say out loud, in your own words. Doing this will help you to better recall what you studied while you’re taking the test. If you’re not sure about what something your friend said means, ask about it. Keep asking questions until you understand it. Relate what you know already to what your friend is saying, and have a conversation about the test material. Figuring out what to stay focused on together will be helpful for the both of you. Using your notes, ask each other some basic questions on what you think you should know for the test. Give each other a little pep talk too about how great you’ll both do!

Style it as you normally would, using a blow dryer or flat iron. It's important to make sure your hair is dry and styled as usual so that you don't end up cutting it in a way that will look off once you have it styled. Look in the mirror and angle your head sideways. Place a comb on the crown of your head, and find the place where it starts to curve down toward your forehead. This is the spot where your bangs should naturally begin. Use the comb to pull your hair forward over your forehead starting with the place you identified in step 2. This spot will act as the point in a "V" with legs V that extend to either temple. The hair that falls inside this V shape is what you'll cut to create new bangs.  Make sure you don't gather too much hair. Cutting bangs that extend past your temples on either side will give you an old-fashioned look. Gathering too little hair is also a mistake. You want your bangs to look full and pretty, not thin. Once you've gathered your V, pull the rest of your hair back to keep it out of the way. This way you can make sure you don't end up accidentally cutting the rest of your hair. Side-swept bangs are a little longer than other styles because you sweep them to the right or left side. If they're too short, they won't fall gracefully across your face. Aim to have your bangs hit the middle of your nose when they're combed straight. If you want them shorter, you can always cut more. Use your middle finger and forefinger to pull the hair taut from your head. The part that will be cut should extend evenly from your fingers. Position it in front of your face so that you can easily reach it. Use a pair of haircutting scissors to snip the hair extending from your fingers at a slight angle. This will give it a more natural appearance than you'll get if you cut it straight across. Continue snipping along the line of hair extending from your fingers until it has all fallen away. Do not use fingernail scissors or safety scissors to cut your hair. It is very important to use professional...

Suboxone has a long half life. A half-life is the amount of time it takes for a substance to deplete to half its value and Suboxone's half-life is 37 hours. This means some traces of the substance stays in your system for over two days after your last dose. Despite this, quitting cold turkey is not recommended. You could end up causing yourself unnecessary physical and emotional pain.  Quitting cold turkey may not be safe and the withdrawal symptoms, such as body aches and dizziness, will be much more severe if you simply stop using the drug suddenly. Relapse is far more likely if you attempt to quit cold turkey.  Remember, you should not detox from Suboxone until you have the other opiate addiction for which Suboxone was recommended under control. You should also wait until you are in a stress-free environment. You do not want quitting Suboxone to lead to a relapse of heroin or another powerful narcotic. Never stop taking Suboxone without consulting a physician first. You need to figure out a safe and effective method of detox that minimizes withdrawal and the likelihood of relapse.  Talk to a physician who knows your full medical history including your history of drug use. Only they can tell you what's safe for you. You can also check into a rehab or detox facility where on-staff physicians have experience treating addiction and can provide you medical support during the process of quitting.  Most doctors recommend reducing your dosage by 20% to 25% every 24 to 48 hours. A medication to control heart rate and blood pressure will be prescribed. In addition, medications to treat the nausea, diarrhea, sleeplessness, and cramping will also be recommended. Withdrawal symptoms will not be as harsh for Suboxone as they might be for other narcotics like heroin; however, you should expect to experience some symptoms of withdrawal as you begin the process of quitting.  Common withdrawal symptoms include dizziness, confusion, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, sleep disturbances, and liver damage. You should regularly...

Subtract the number you just wrote below the dividend from the digits of the dividend directly above it. Write the result beneath the line you just drew.  In the example, we'll subtract 24 from 25, getting 1. Do not subtract from the complete dividend, but only those digits you worked with in Parts One and Two. In the example, you should not subtract 24 from 250. Write the next digit of the dividend after the result of your subtraction operation. In the example, because 6 can't go into 1 without exceeding it, you need to bring down another digit. In this case, you'll grab the 0 from 250 and place it after the 1, making it 10, which 6 can go into. Divide the new number by your divisor, and write the result above the dividend as the next digit of the quotient.  In the example, determine out how many times 6 can go into 10. Write that number (1) into the quotient above the dividend. Then multiply 6 by 1, and subtract the result from 10. You should end up with 4. If your dividend has more than three digits, keep repeating this process until you've worked through all of them. For example, if we we had started with 2506 grams of mushrooms, we'd pull the 6 down next and place it next to the four.

Sugar, whether in a refined form or a natural form, like honey, can help neutralize spiciness. After you’ve eaten something spicy, sprinkle enough sugar or drizzle enough honey to cover your tongue so that the capsaicin can be absorbed. This will also put a nice, sweet taste in your mouth. The fat and oil in all dairy products, not just milk, can work well when trying to relieve a burning tongue. Eat a bit of yogurt or sour cream so that the capsaicin can be dissolved, much like dish soap dissolves grease on your dirty dishes. Opt for full-fat yogurt and sour cream for the best results. While it might taste a little gross on its own, oil has the perfect combination of fat and oil for countering the burning sensation caused by spicy food. Hold your nose to minimize the taste and pour a little on your tongue. If you can’t stand the taste of the oil, peanut butter has similar qualities and should work as a good substitute. Starches, such as bread, chips, crackers, potatoes, rice, or pasta, can all act as a barrier between your mouth and the capsaicin in the spicy food you’re eating, which will lessen the burn. These foods can also absorb some of the capsaicin. The high fat content in milk chocolate makes it another good solution for cooling off your mouth. Next time you eat something too hot, grab a candy bar to remove some of the capsaicin from your taste buds. Dark chocolate has less fat, so it’s less effective.

Suggest that they call themselves out when they think things like, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never be able to do this.” Advise that they tell themselves, “Stop! These are negative thoughts, they’re unproductive, and I have the power to change my thought process.”  Ask them, “Would you tell a close friend ‘You’re a bad person,’ or criticize them harshly? More likely, you’d let them know they need to work on something in a much nicer way. Instead of practicing negative self-talk, treat yourself the way you would treat your friends.”  Suggest that they replace negative thoughts with more neutral or realistic ones. For example, instead of “I’m so dumb, I’ll never be good at math,” suggest that they tell themselves, “This is a difficult subject for me, but I’m going to work on getting better at it.” This can help them transition to a more positive mindset. Make sure your friend is interested in hearing tips about controlling negative thoughts. If they don't respond well, it might be best to give them some space instead of forcing the conversation. Let your loved one know that you understand how life's obstacles can seem unchanging, insurmountable, and all-encompassing. Tell them to think objectively instead of getting overwhelmed.  Tell them, “Thinking in absolute, negative terms isn’t constructive. Instead of ‘I’ll never be good at this,’ say to yourself, ‘If I practice, I can improve,’ or ‘There are some things I’m not good at, and that’s okay.’” Say, “Bad things can seem like they’ll stick around forever, but nothing is permanent. Think about times that you’ve dealt with tough situations. Things got better in time; just say to yourself, ‘This too shall pass.’” Try encouraging them by saying, “Do your best to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve overcome a lot, and you’ve become stronger by conquering past obstacles.” Tell them to forgive themselves for mistakes they’ve made, from saying something silly to deliberately doing something wrong. Instead of dwelling on the past, suggest that they...

Sukkot is a joyous holiday and a time of great celebration for all Jews! In fact, Sukkot is so closely associated with happy emotions that traditional sources often call it Z'man Simchateinu (Hebrew:"the Season of our Rejoicing"). For the seven days of Sukkot, Jews are encouraged to celebrate God's role in their lives and rejoice in the good fortune of the past year. Sukkot should a happy time spent with your friends and family, so be ready to let go of any negative thoughts or feelings in preparation for the holiday. Aim to be upbeat, positive, and thankful to God for the entire week. As noted above, one of the most memorable, remarkable traditions of Sukkot is the building of a Sukkah.. This lightly-constructed booth can be made from many different types of materials as long as it is able to stand up to the wind. The roof of the Sukkah is traditionally made from leaves, branches, and other plant matter. Sukkah are usually decorated on the inside with drawings and religious symbols. For more information on building a Sukkah, see the appropriate section below. In the book of Leviticus, Jews are instructed to dwell in the Sukkah for all seven days of the Sukkot holiday. In a modern context, most take this to mean centering family gatherings around the sukkah and eating meals inside it, though some devout Jews will even sleep in it. Though the Sukkot holiday lasts for about 7 to 8 days, the first two days of the holiday are especially blessed. On these days, much like on Shabbat, most forms of work are to be avoided as a show of reverence to God. Specifically, all activities normally forbidden on Shabbat are also forbidden on the first two days of Sukkot with the exception of cooking, baking, transferring fire, and carrying things around. During this time, people observing the holiday are encouraged to spend time praying and celebrating with their families.  The following five days are Chol Hamoed (Hebrew: "intermediate days"), during which work is permitted. Note, however, that if Shabbat falls during the...

Summer is a fun time to play with friends. A great way to stay active in the summer is to join a summer camp or sporting activity. You will have fun meeting new friends and spending time outdoors in the summer weather. There’s many different types of summer camps to choose from including sleep away camps, day camps, sport focused camp, or artistic camps. Joining a summer sporting activity like swim team is a great way to stay active all summer long.  Search online or visit local churches, schools, libraries, or nature centers to find summer camps in your area. Sometimes, local magazines will have a listing of upcoming summer camps in the area as well. Sign up for camps early to ensure you receive a spot in the camp. Swim team, flag football, tennis, and golf are all great sports to do in the summer. Summer is a great time to do activities outdoors because the weather is warmer and the days are longer, so stay active by going for a hike at a local trail. Hikes are a fun way to enjoy nature while keeping physically fit. There are many hiking trails to choose from, so you can try to do new one each week of the summer for a fun challenge.  Make sure you dress appropriately for your hike by wearing comfortable, sporty clothes, a hat, and tennis shoes or hiking boots. Bring a friend with you on your hike to share the experience with. Pack a backpack filled with healthy snacks, water bottles, a cell phone or gps, and a first aid kit. Find local trails to hike by searching online, visiting your local nature center, or contacting your local parks and recreation department.

Summer is usually the best (and easiest) time to work up a sweat. Trying filling up some of those summer hours by signing up for a sport. Check with your local community center for any youth sports available during the summer. If you’re not into the traditional options, like baseball or soccer, you may be surprised by their other choices! Grab a pass to your community pool or hit up a friend who has one in their backyard. Chances are your local pool is only available from Memorial Day to Labor Day, so take advantage of it while you can! Don’t forget to bring a few extra bucks to spend at the snack bar. Hit up some of your friends, bring the necessary equipment, and head to your local park. If the traditional summer sports (baseball, soccer, football) aren’t your cup of tea, try inventing a whole new game! And if all else fails, there’s no shame in resorting to a game of tag. Check out your community center or a chain gym nearby. Getting yourself out of the house to lift weights or run is way easier when it’s warm and you aren’t all tuckered out from a long day of school.

Sun exposure can wreak all sorts of havoc on your complexion, from freckles and brown spots to serious sunburns and skin cancer. If you want lighter skin, you have to care for it properly, using a sunscreen with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating.  When you expose your skin to UVA and UVB light, your body produces melanin which makes your skin appear darker. Therefore, the number one most important thing you can do to lighten your skin is to wear sunscreen every day you'll be outdoors, even when it's not super-hot or sunny. You can also protect your skin by wearing light, long-sleeved clothing and by wearing a hat and sunglasses when you're in the sun for long periods of time. Taking good care of your skin involves following a strict skincare routine where skin is properly cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized. Thoroughly cleanse your face twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. This removes dirt and oil, which is important for a healthy, clear complexion. Moisturize with a product suited to your skin type. If you have oily or blemish prone skin, you should go for light lotions, while people with very dry skin should go for heavier creams. This is important as it removes the darker, dead skin cells and reveals the new, lighter skin beneath. You can exfoliate using a product containing small particles, or by gently rubbing your face with a clean, damp washcloth. If you have acne prone skin, consider a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid, which will dissolve dead skin cells without over stimulating the skin. Drinking water and eating right won't magically make your skin lighter, but it will help skin to rejuvenate itself.  When skin rejuvenates, the old, pigmented layers fade away and fresh, new skin is revealed, leaving your skin looking brighter and healthier. Drinking more water speeds up this process, so you try to drink between six and eight glasses a day. A good diet also helps to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy by providing it with the vitamins and nutrients it needs. Try to...

Super-tight workout shirts can get sweaty, but you’ll have to use the same method. The sweat may cause some friction, but this only means you’ll have to pull a little harder. Also, try crossing your arms as you pull the shirt over your head, which will give you more pulling power. If you are having trouble removing a tight tank top over your head, it might be because your arms are at a strange angle or not strong enough to pull it off. Try pushing it down over your hips instead, all the way down to your ankles. Then simply step out. This will only work for tube style tank tops or other shirts with wide necklines, because the neckline has to be larger than your waist. While your head may fit through the neck of a buttoned polo shirt, you may risk stretching it out. Unbutton the shirt first, starting with the top button and working your way down: there are generally three buttons. Then remove the polo as you would a normal t-shirt. Many women's shirts have zippers or buttons at the nape of the neck. You may have to unzip or unbutton these before you can easily take the shirt off. These clasps can be hard to reach, so you might have to get help: ask a friend or family member in the house to help you unclasp the shirt. It may be embarrassing to ask for help, but they may be your only hope. If there’s no one around, try using a mirror to see where the clasp is, then reach behind your neck and unzip little by little.

Supplementing with vitamin C has been shown to reduce the severity of asthma attacks. You can take 500 mg of Vitamin C every day as long as you do not have kidney disease. You may also want to consider including vitamin C rich foods such as:  Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruit Berries Cantaloupe Kiwis Broccoli Sweet potatoes Tomatoes Molybdenum is a trace mineral. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of molybdenum for children up to 13 years is 22–43 mcg/day. The recommended amount for people over 14 years is 45 mcg.  Pregnant and nursing women need 50 mcg/day.  Most multivitamins will include molybdenum, but it can also be purchased on its own. You can also get molybdenum by eating certain foods, such as:  Beans Lentils Peas Leafy vegetables Milk Cheese Nuts Organ meats Selenium is necessary for the biochemical reactions involved in controlling inflammation. If you use a supplement, get a supplement that uses selenomethionine because this form is easier for your body to absorb.  Don’t take more than 200 mcg of selenium a day because it can be toxic in higher doses. Food sources include:  Wheat Crab Liver Poultry Vitamin B6 is involved with over 100 different reactions in the body. Vitamin B6 can help reduce inflammation as well as support the immune system. As a supplement, children between the ages of one to eight years should take 0.8 mg/day. Children between the ages of nine to 13 should take 1.0 mg/day. Adolescents and adults should take 1.3–1.7 mg/day and women who are pregnant or nursing should take 1.9–2.0 mg/day. Foods highest in the most absorbable form of Vitamin B6 include:  Salmon Potatoes Turkey Chicken Avocados Spinach Bananas When vitamin B12 levels are low, supplementing with vitamin B12 may improve symptoms of asthma. As a supplement, children between the ages of 1-8 years should take 0.9-1.2 mg/day. Children between the ages of 9-13 should take 1.8 mg/day.

Support your mental health by regularly taking time out of your day to check in with your breath. Draw in air from your nose, hold it for a few seconds, then release it through your mouth. Repeat several cycles of deep breathing a few times throughout the day. Being overstimulated by the world around you can lead to anxiety, depression, or addiction. Deep breathing can work as a mental buffer to ease stress and eliminate destructive habits. Increase your defenses before entering overwhelming or draining social situations. You can do this by visualizing an energy shield around you, protecting you from negative energy. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. Imagine a bubble or golden light radiating out from your breath to surround your body.  If you encounter emotional vampires or drainers, simply retreat into the bubble of light to buffer their energy. Rather than pushing away or ignoring any powerful emotions, try to understand what they mean and how you can fulfill the underlying need. For example, if you are feeling angry, take a closer look at what's happening and try to resolve it.  Pay attention to how the emotion feels in your body: is your throat tight? Are your shoulders tense? Validate the emotion by telling yourself “It’s okay to feel what I’m feeling.” Show compassion by caressing yourself gently. Problem-solve the emotion--what need is not being met? For instance, if you’re feeling angry, that might indicate a boundary needs to be set. If you’re feeling ignored, you might need to spend time with someone supportive and energizing. Tap into your intuition around certain people or in specific circumstances. If you get a hunch about someone or something, take time to reflect and analyze the intuition before moving forward.  It’s easy to get caught up in other’s energies and not make decisions for yourself. Stopping periodically to tune into your gut can help protect you from energy drainers or other negative people. Boost your intuition with meditation or creative expression.

Suppose that another business has collected price and sales data. Using that data, the company has determined that the initial price is $100, and each additional unit sold will cut the price by one cent. Using this data, the following price function is: p=100−0.01q{\displaystyle p=100-0.01q} Recall that revenue is equal to price times quantity. Using the price function above, the revenue function is:  R(q)=[100−0.01q]∗q{\displaystyle R(q)=[100-0.01q]*q} R(q)=100q−0.01q2{\displaystyle R(q)=100q-0.01q^{2}} Using basic calculus, find the derivative of the revenue function:  R(q)=100q−0.01q2{\displaystyle R(q)=100q-0.01q^{2}} R′(q)=100−(2)0.01q{\displaystyle R^{\prime }(q)=100-(2)0.01q} R′(q)=100−0.02q{\displaystyle R^{\prime }(q)=100-0.02q} Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for q{\displaystyle q} to find the optimal number of sales. This calculation is as follows:  R′(q)=100−0.02q{\displaystyle R^{\prime }(q)=100-0.02q} 0=100−0.02q{\displaystyle 0=100-0.02q} 0.02q=100{\displaystyle 0.02q=100} q=100/0.02{\displaystyle q=100/0.02} q=5,000{\displaystyle q=5,000} Use the optimal sales value in the original price formula to find the optimal sales price. For this example, this works as follows:  p=100−0.01q{\displaystyle p=100-0.01q} p=100−0.01(5,000){\displaystyle p=100-0.01(5,000)} p=100−50{\displaystyle p=100-50} p=50{\displaystyle p=50} Using the relationship that revenue equals price times quantity, you can find the maximum revenue as follows:  R(q)=p∗q{\displaystyle R(q)=p*q} R(q)=50∗5,000{\displaystyle R(q)=50*5,000} R(q)=250,000{\displaystyle R(q)=250,000} Using this data and based on the price function p=100−0.01q{\displaystyle p=100-0.01q}, the company’s maximum revenue is $250,000. This assumes a unit price of $50 and a sale of 5,000 units.

Suppose you deposited $1,500 into a bank account.  The account earns 4.3 percent interest annually. The interest is compounded annually, or one time per year.  Suppose you want to find out how much compound interest you will have earned after six years. The formula for annual compound interest is [P(1+i)n]−P{\displaystyle [P(1+i)^{n}]-P}, where P = Principal, i = interest rate and n = number of compounding periods. For this example, P = $1,500, i = .043 and n = 6 (because if the interest is compounded annually, then in six years there will be six compounding periods).  Calculate the interest paid in six years with the equation [$1,500(1+.043)6]−$1,500{\displaystyle [\$1,500(1+.043)^{6}]-\$1,500}  $1,500∗1.287−$1,500{\displaystyle \$1,500*1.287-\$1,500} $1,931−$1,500=$431{\displaystyle \$1,931-\$1,500=\$431} The amount of compound interest paid in six years is $431. Suppose you deposited $1,500 into an account that paid 4.3 percent interest that was compounded quarterly, or four times per year.  To calculate how much interest you would be paid in six years, you would use the formula [P(1+i/n)n∗t]−P{\displaystyle [P(1+i/n)^{n*t}]-P}, where P = Principal, i = interest rate, n = number of compounding periods per year, and t = the number of years for which the money is invested.  In this example, P = $1,500, i = .043, n = 4 and t = 6. You would calculate [$1500(1+.043/4)4∗6]−$1500{\displaystyle [\$1500(1+.043/4)^{4*6}]-\$1500}  ($1,500∗1.29)−$1,500{\displaystyle (\$1,500*1.29)-\$1,500}  $1,938−$1500=$438{\displaystyle \$1,938-\$1500=\$438}. The amount of compound interest paid in six years is $438.

Sure, running a small business seems like a great thing. You get to put your own ideas to work. You get to make decisions and work independently, meaning you’re the boss. And you get the satisfaction of building something lasting. But it isn’t for everyone. In fact, operating a small business will be stressful and probably more work than you imagine. Think carefully before deciding that it’s for you.  Do you like challenges, for example? Do you thrive in difficult circumstances? Are you comfortable making big decisions? In that case, starting a small business may be for you. On the other hand, are you risk averse? Do you distrust your gut instinct? Do you avoid stress and big decisions? You might want to rethink your plan, since all of these – risk, stress, and decision-making – are a big part of small-business ownership. OK, you have chosen to go ahead. The next thing to do is to decide what sort of ice cream shop you want to start. You have some options. For example, do you want to buy or invest in an up-and-coming shop, start your own, or perhaps buy into a franchise? Consider, as each carries with it certain risks and certain opportunities.  Read up on the benefits of franchising your business. Working with a parent company like Cold Stone Creameries or Baskin Robbins, you’ll have help in starting up. They will guide you in décor, the materials and food ingredients used to make the products, and employee training. Franchise costs can run high, though. The average start-up cost for a Cold Stone Creamery franchise is between $261,000 to $405,000.  Starting your own shop is another choice. It may be less expensive to go it yourself – for instance, it is not uncommon to buy an existing or closed ice cream shop for $50,000 or less – but you will have much less support. Unlike a franchisee, you will have to do everything on your own. Get as detailed an idea as you can of what your business will look like and how it will operate. Do this by studying other ice cream stores in the area, as well as frozen yogurt...

Sure, the first draft is full of mistakes and spelling / grammatical errors, but at least it exists, right? Besides, the first draft is just that — a draft.  You can always edit it at your own pace, as much as you want. And after constant re-tooling, you have your first chapter. After that, do the same with the remaining chapters, until you think they're good enough to be read, if not published (yet). If you don't think your draft is something that you yourself would pick from a bookstore shelf, then it needs work. Continuity is the consistency, as well as the flow, of the light novel when it comes to information, events, or just about anything in your light novel. Make sure you jot down major events in your story to keep for reference if you don't have the time to look back through your book every now and then. If you write your "ranobe" on your computer using a word processor, then you just need to save the draft. For those writing "ye olde-fashioned way," copy your draft from the paper you used to write it on and save your light novel onto a computer (and proofread using the processor's spell-check). These will be mostly without dialogue, as your "ranobe" will most likely relay what the characters have said. Add these images in the center of the action, in order to properly illustrate the scene. Save the file.

Surface roots mainly become a problem when they interfere with footpaths, sidewalks, and structures such as house foundations. Try to plant shade trees no closer than 6 feet (2 meters) from sidewalks and pavements, and 15 feet (5 meters) from house foundations. Root exposure problems are often associated with fast-growing shade trees, such as Arizona ash, silver maple, poplar, and willow. When selecting trees to plant on your property, consider choosing slower-growing species instead. A few good options include:  Linden Colorado blue spruce Sugar maple Japanese maple Red buckeye Tree roots are often exposed by soil erosion. If your property has serious erosion problems, you may need to bring in a landscaping expert to install erosion barriers. Other measures you can take include:  Covering bare patches of soil with mulch or ground cover plants, especially on slopes. Not over-watering your plants so that you do not wash away too much soil. Using jute netting or coconut fiber mats to keep soil in place until cover plants can become established. Putting a layer of mulch around the bases of newly-planted trees to prevent erosion as the tree grows.

Surfer's eye can be typically seen on the eye as a yellow bump or white overgrowth of the eye. If you are uncertain whether or not you have surfer's eye, you should look out for:  Yellow spots on the white of the eye Redness or swelling of the eye Blurry vision Dry, gritty itchy eyes Feeling as though there is something in your eye Surfer’s eye is a condition that is associated with growth of tissue over a portion of the eye. This tissue may partially block your vision and cause discomfort or irritation.  Abnormal tissue growth is also known as “pterygia.” Surfer’s eye often develops in people who spend considerable amounts of time outside in dry or windy conditions. While the exact cause of surfer’s eye is not known or agreed upon by medical professionals, there are a variety of contributing factors that are associated with its development. Medical professionals, though, commonly point to several factors as causing surfer’s eye. Some include:  Long-term exposure to UV light. People who work outside in sunny environments are especially prone to the condition. Exposure, long-term, to dry and dusty environments. Long-term exposure to windy environments, which tend to dry eyes out. While some cases of surfer’s eye are severe enough to require immediate treatment, others may not require treatment at all. In the end, you and your doctor must determine the extent that surfer’s eye threatens your vision.  Some people who suffer from surfer’s eye may not exhibit symptoms other than abnormal tissue growth. Many individuals who suffer from surfer’s eye may not need to undergo surgery or other invasive procedures. Only a medical professional can determine the severity of your surfer’s eye.

Surgery can seem scary if you don’t know what to expect. Your dentist should be happy to explain the process to you before they begin. Ask any questions you have; this may set your mind at ease. Make sure you don’t have any infections currently. If you do, tell your dentist about them. The surgery may need to be rescheduled. Most wisdom tooth removals only require local anaesthetic. This means that you’ll be awake during the surgery. In some cases, your dentist may give you sedation anaesthesia or general anaesthesia.  Sedation anaesthesia suppresses your consciousness. It’s delivered intravenously and will leave you with a limited memory of the surgery. General anaesthesia may be inhaled through the nose or delivered intravenously. General anaesthesia will put you completely asleep and you’ll be unconscious throughout the procedure. All anaesthesia carries a small degree of risk. However, when used properly, anaesthesia is considered extremely safe. You may experience some pressure or discomfort during the surgery, but you should not feel pain. If you do feel pain during the surgery, it means that the anaesthetic is not working. Let your dentist know immediately.  If your dentist has given you only a local anaesthetic, close your eyes during the procedure. This may take your mind off the procedure somewhat.

Surgery is one common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Surgery is an option if you have stage I or stage II cancer or some stage III lung cancers. During surgery, the cancerous tumor is removed. To do this, the surgeon has to remove the part of the lung that contains the tumor.  Each of your lungs has a superior lobe (the largest, top section of the lung), the right lung has a middle lobe (middle section), and both the right and left lungs have inferior lobes (small, bottom section). Depending on how big the tumor is, the surgeon may only take a small section of the lung or they might take the whole lobe or the entire lung. Usually the nearby lymph nodes will be removed as well. These lymph nodes will be checked for cancer cells. Removing the entire lobe is often chosen over removing a small section. Removing the entire lobe has a higher chance of curing the cancer. If there are cancer cells near the edge of the tissue removed during the surgery, you may (rarely) need a second surgery to go back and get any remaining cancerous tissue. Some people cannot undergo surgery due to poor health.  Surgery is used most often with non-small cell lung cancer. Chemotherapy is used for all stages of non-small cell lung cancer. It may be used after surgery, along with radiation, or for advanced stage cancer that has spread. Chemotherapy uses medication to kill cancer cells or prevent them from dividing, which keeps the cells from growing. Chemotherapy treatment is either done orally, intravenously, through an injection into a muscle, or placed directly into the affected area of the body.  The type of chemotherapy you will receive depends on the stage and type of cancer. You may be given a combination of different drugs. Chemotherapy usually takes weeks or months of treatments.  In early stages of cancer (stage II), chemotherapy can help reduce the risk of the cancer returning. Chemotherapy is most often used with small cell lung cancer, along with radiation therapy. Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, is...

Surgery is usually scheduled in advance to give you enough time to prepare and work on an exercise routine. Exercising prior to surgery will restore some of your knee function and will ensure that your knee will be strong enough for the surgery.  The main objectives of exercising the ACL are to strengthen the supporting muscles and to improve your range of motion as much as possible. The intensity of the exercise should be gradually increased. Be alert of pain which may signal that you are pushing yourself too much. When pain is felt, stop the exercise immediately and decrease the intensity of the exercise. Your physician might refer you to a physical therapist who will develop an exercise program especially tailored to your current condition. Talk to your doctor before starting any exercise regimens. This exercise will help strengthen your hamstring, gluteus (butt muscles), and hip muscles. Perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions of this exercise.  Lie on your back with your hands interlaced on your stomach. Your knees and ankles should be bent in such a way that only your heels are in contact with the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your buttocks and hips up off the floor until your knees, hips, and shoulders are all in line. Hold this position for 6 seconds and then slowly go back to the starting position and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat the whole exercise. This exercise will strengthen your gluteus muscles, which are important when extending and rotating your legs. Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.  Lie on your back with your knees straightened and ankles at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the floor. Use your elbow to raise your upper body. Squeeze your buttocks as strongly as possible and hold for 6 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds and repeat the whole procedure. This exercise will develop the muscles at the back of your thigh. Do 3 sets of 12 repetitions.  Lie on your stomach with your hands folded to support your head. You can place a washcloth above your knee if your kneecap feels painful or...

Surgery takes a lot out of you, even a relatively simple one like tooth pulling. Take the day off from work or school. Avoid exercising and make sure to keep your head elevated. After the painkillers you got at the dentist wear off, your mouth will probably ache, and there will be some swelling. Over the counter drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol), or stronger prescription painkillers from your dentist, taken as directed, will help reduce the pain. Additionally, an ice pack or cold compress against your jaw will help reduce the pain and keep swelling down. . You'll have to restrict yourself in the first 24 hours after the surgery. Drink lots of water to replenish fluids. Eat soft foods like applesauce, but avoid dairy (like ice cream or yogurt) for the first two days, as these may contain lactic bacteria such as lactobacillus which can generate infection if there is no antibiotic prescription. After the first 24 hours, you will be able to introduce harder foods like mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and pasta as you can tolerate the pain.  Avoid alcoholic, carbonated, caffeinated, or hot beverages during that period, and don't eat hard, chewy, hot, or spicy foods. Don't drink with a straw for at least a week, as the suction may dislodge blood clots. Don't brush your teeth, use mouthwash, rinse your mouth, or spit for the first 24 hours. When you start again, be gentle around the wound. For the first few weeks after surgery, rinse your mouth with warm salt water every two hours and after meals. Wait at least 72 hours before you start smoking again (longer if possible), and avoid chewing tobacco for at least a week. Some bleeding of the pulling site is common, especially within a couple of hours after surgery, so don't be too concerned at first. If you notice bleeding, or taste blood in your saliva, put a piece of gauze or other absorbent fabric over the wound. Hold it there for about 15 minutes. Do not rinse you mouth.  A moist tea bag works well also. The bag helps to absorb the moisture from the blood and your...

Surgical removal is the most common treatment for granulomas, as there is a lower rate of recurrence with surgery. Many doctors remove granulomas with curettage and cauterization. This involves scraping off the granuloma with a tool called a curette and then cauterizing the surrounding blood vessels to minimize the chances of regrowth. It may also help stop bleeding. After the procedure you should:  Keep the wound dry for 48 hours Change your dressing daily Apply pressure by securing a bandage and tape to the site, which can prevent bleeding Watch for signs of infection including severe redness, swelling, severe pain, fever, and discharge from the wound Your doctor may also suggest cryotherapy, especially for smaller lesions. This treatment involves freezing off granulomas with liquid nitrogen. The low temperature of the treatment can reduce cell growth and inflammation through vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels. Observe your wound after the treatment and follow any instructions from your doctor. A granuloma wound caused by cryotherapy generally heals within seven to 14 days. Pain will generally last for three days. If you have large or recurrent granuloma, your doctor may suggest excising them. This treatment has the highest cure rates. This procedure involves removing the granuloma and its related blood vessels to reduce the risk of it growing back. Your doctor may also send a small sample to a lab to examine for any possible malignancy. Allow your doctor mark the excision site with a surgical marker. This won’t stain your skin. They will then anesthetize the site to minimize any discomfort you may have. After this, the doctor will remove the granuloma with a scalpel and/or sharp scissors. You may smell some burning if the doctor uses cautery to stop bleeding, but this won’t harm you. If necessary, you may get stitches at the excision incision site. Some doctors may suggest laser surgery to remove the lesion and burn its base or shrink smaller granulomas. Consider this procedure...

Surprise them with an unexpected visit to let them know you miss and want to see them. Then, you're right there to do everything that you've promised. It might be best to give your partner a heads up so that they don't have other plans that complicate your trip.  If your partner has a roommate or a close friend you are in contact with, you can work with this person to plan your visit and make sure your partner is available. When you’re together, do your best to enjoy every moment of the visit so that you both walk away satisfied. It's also important to consider the status of your relationship before showing up unannounced. Are you and your long-distance lover monogamous? If not, you might want to check in to be sure your lover isn't going to be out with someone else during your visit. Doing something new together is a wonderful way to explore the world and forge a deeper bond with your mate. When you are able to be together, plan a short jaunt to a special place like a lake or cabin to enjoy one another. Try out new activities like rafting, hiking, or horseback riding to up the excitement factor. Sometimes, planning trips can be incredibly expensive and stressful. Make things simpler by choosing a location midway between where you both live. Meet up in a hotel or resort. This can allow you both to save on travel and provide you with a whimsical getaway that you can enjoy together. Before you depart from your visit, give your partner something that will turn them on while you’re away. This might be an intimate piece of your clothing with a naughty note, telling them how much you miss them and how much you just can't wait to be with them again. This will make them crave being with you. You can also gift something for your partner to use during your Skype session such as a sex toy. In addition to giving your partner something to keep the flame burning, you can also go one step further and hide a small little gift for them to find. Leave little notes in their pockets or bags so they can discover them when you're...

Surprise your significant other with an anniversary gift that says something heartfelt about your relationship. This might be something that they’ve wanted or needed, or something you’ve heard them mention and remembered without them having to ask. Choosing the right anniversary gift will depend on you and your partner’s relationship and the kinds of things they like, so make sure that whatever you decide on has them in mind and is suited for the occasion.  Listen for cues your partner mentions for things they’d like to have and try to make a mental note. Sometimes the best surprises are things you’ve wanted but have hesitated to ask for. Jewelry is a popular gift for anniversaries, especially to commemorate decades, but you don’t have to break the bank buying expensive, impersonal gold and jewels. Try selecting a tasteful piece with your partner’s birthstone or a particular symbol that’s meaningful to them. Take the time to write out a personalized letter or poem by hand. Remind your spouse of what you love about them and of the fond experiences you’ve shared. It’s easy to fall into a routine and leave your deeper feelings unspoken: this will afford you the chance to say the things you don’t always get to say. A handwritten missive is something your loved one will be able to keep and cherish for the rest of their life. Being mushy isn’t your only option. This is a good opportunity to put your feelings on display, but also to make your partner laugh by coming up with silly rhymes or referencing inside jokes that only the two of you are in on. Rather than going out and buying a gift, consider making something yourself. A scrapbook filled with pictures of the two of you would make a great anniversary project, and it’s something that anyone can do. Whatever you make should identify the sentiments and desires of your spouse and will ideally contain some characteristic of your own; your gift will be one-of-a-kind and will therefore mean a lot to your significant other.  Think about gifts that are specifically...

Survey the ground around your home and the places where you’ve left your bait for sets of tiny footprints. Scurrying rats leave behind four-toed tracks with their front feet, while the tracks from their back feet resemble miniature human hand prints with five digits.  It may help to cover infested areas with a light dusting of flour or salt. Not only will this make the tracks easier to see, but it also happens to be quite the tasty treat for a rat. Be on the lookout for long, linear marks from “tail drag” as well. Rat pellets range in size from 1⁄2–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm) long and are most often a dark gray or black color. You’ll typically spot them where there’s food or nesting materials to scavenge. The more droppings you come across, the more serious a rat problem you have on your hands. Dried rat feces can carry diseases that are transmitted through particles in the air, so be sure to safely dispose of droppings as soon as you discover them. Always wear rubber gloves and cover your nose and mouth with a facemask or respirator while cleaning up. Scratches, gouges, and small rounded holes are all signs that may point to a possible rodent infestation. Other potential clues include teeth marks and dark smudges that are created when rats rub up against a surface with their greasy coats.  Most of these marks will be concentrated around places where rats tend to find their way inside, like gutters, crawl spaces, eaves, and window casings.  Structural damage coupled with the presence of droppings or stray nesting materials is a sure sign that there are rats afoot. Determined rats will claw, scrape, dig, and chew in order to gain access to a structure. The noises they make are soft and persistent, and may sound like they’re coming from behind a wall, beneath the floor, or inside the ceiling. If your hearing is especially sharp, you may even be able to detect an occasional squeak. You’re likely to overhear the most disturbances at night, when rats set out to hunt for food.
