Keeping your home and roof in good repair will help keep squirrels from getting inside. Go into your attic to look for holes along the inside. It's best to do this in daylight so you can see the sun shining through. Nail mesh wire over any holes you find to keep squirrels from coming in. If you don't want to do this yourself, hire a contractor or repair person to do it. Some squirrels will simply crawl down the chimney to get into your house! If that's the case, a chimney cap is a solution. It closes off the chimney so the squirrels can't enter. However, part of the cap is made from a wire cage, so the smoke will still be able to get out. If a branch is touching your roof or is very close to your home, slice it off so there's at least 6 feet (1.8 m) between the branch and the house. Similarly, chop off any branches that hang over your roof that a squirrel can use as a bridge. If a squirrel can use a branch to get over to your home, they'll do it. Once on your roof, they'll often look for ways to get in, and soon enough, you'll have an infestation. Place the trap in the attic with something tasty squirrels like, such as nuts or dried fruit. Once the trap is full, make sure to fill in any holes in the attic before releasing the squirrel outside. If you leave the squirrels in the attic when you close up the holes, you could end up with an awful smell. If you have an infestation, it's best to get help. They can trap the squirrels for you and help you find and fill in the holes in your house. That way, you can be sure they won't get back in.

Keeping your lips hydrated will allow them to maintain a healthy pink glow. This is especially important in very hot or cold weather, which can be extremely drying on lips.  Apply a moisturizing lip balm before you go to bed each night, and opt for hydrating lipsticks during the day. Beeswax based products are extremely hydrating. In the winter, try petroleum jelly to seal moisture into your lips and to avoid dry lips. If you you prefer more natural moisturization methods, try rubbing a little honey on your lips (just don't lick it off) or a little aloe vera gel. You can also keep your lips hydrated by drinking lots of water -- ideally six to eight glasses per day. Exfoliation is a great way to lighten dark lips as it removes the discolored outer layers of skin and reveals the soft pink underneath.  Make your own lip scrub by mixing a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of sugar. Apply this mixture to your lips, using your fingers to gently rub it in. Rinse away to reveal beautifully soft lips. Alternatively, you can exfoliate your lips using the bristles on your toothbrush. Simply dampen your lips, then gently rub the bristles of the brush over the lips using small, circular motions. Try a chemical exfoliant that contains salicylic acid. Apply it to your lips, but avoid licking your lips until it dries. You should exfoliate your lips at least once a week using one of the methods described above. Just remember to always moisturize after exfoliating. Exposing your lips to sunlight with no SPF protection may cause them to become darkly pigmented (not to mention dry, cracked and sore).  Therefore, it's important to protect your lips from harmful UVA and UVB rays by wearing a lip balm that contains an SPF when you're out and about during the day. Drinking too much black tea and coffee can stain the lips, causing them to look darker.  If you need your coffee fix, you could try drinking your morning coffee through a straw. This will allow the liquid to bypass your lips (and teeth) and prevent them from becoming...

Kegel exercises are a way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles that may be weak from pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, aging, or being overweight. Anyone can do these discreet exercises at any time of day and they may help with urinary and fecal incontinence.  The pelvic floor muscles support the uterus, bladder, small intestine, and rectum.  Kegels work by forcing you to relax and contract your pelvic floor muscles.  Kegels may work for anyone to help prevent urinary incontinence, especially during pregnancy.  If you have severe urinary leakage when you sneeze, cough, or laugh due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, Kegel exercises may be less effective. You might be unsure where your pelvic floor muscles, but identifying them is very easy. This can help ensure that you’re doing Kegel exercises properly and strengthen your pelvic muscles more effectively.  The easiest way to find your pelvic muscles is by stopping urination midstream. If you successfully stop the flow of urine, you’ve identified your pelvic floor muscles.  It may take you a couple of days to identify your pelvic muscles, but just keep trying and don’t get discouraged. After you’ve identified your pelvic muscles, you’re ready to do Kegel exercises. You’ll need to empty your bladder to most effectively train your pelvic floor. Don’t use Kegels to start or stop your urine stream. This can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, cause further incontinence, and may increase your risk of a urinary tract infection. While you’re first getting the hang of doing Kegels, or if you’re having a hard time identifying your pelvic muscles, lie on your back. This can help you more effectively contract your pelvic floor muscles. Make sure to lie on your back only after you’ve completely emptied your bladder. Either on your back or, if you’re a more advanced practitioner of Kegels, someplace else you choose, contract your pelvic muscles. Hold them for a count of five and then relax for a count of five.  Try four or five sets of Kegel exercises.  Eventually work up to...

Kegs can be filled through valves that are either located on the side (open system), which can be easily accessed and filled, or through a closed system valve that requires automated equipment for filling. Closed system kegs are typically more expensive and will likely require additional equipment that can run from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. Keg sizes are varied, and the most common sizes are sixth barrel, quarter barrel and half barrel. Consider how much beer you will be brewing and how quickly it will be consumed when deciding on keg size and number. The most common keg for the home brewer is the Cornelius keg (also called a “Corny keg”). These are the same tall, thin shape that is used to hold soda. You can find new and used kegs, and used kegs are certainly a cheaper option. New kegs look better, while used kegs may have the former owner’s logo on them. New kegs are usually more easily sanitized, while older kegs can potentially have build-up (called beerstone). If you are buying a used keg, make sure to consider the following:  Make sure the keg does not leak. Make sure the keg is sanitized and able to be cleaned. Make sure the keg is not dented (verify that the keg will hold the correct amount of beer and any dents do not subtract from the correct amount). Storing your beer and dispensing it from kegs may require additional equipment.  This equipment includes:  CO2 tank: A high pressure CO2 tank will provide carbonation and enable you to dispense the beer from the keg. Purchase one from a welding supply store or online. Pressure regulator: This instrument will regulate how much CO2 is going into your keg, and consequently, how carbonated your beer will be. Connection lines: You will need connectors to hook up the CO2 tank to the keg. Get two quick disconnects, a gas line and a picnic faucet.

Kennel cough is highly infectious, because each time your dog coughs, it releases aerosol particles that can spread the illness. If you believe your dog has kennel cough, it is important to isolate it from other dogs immediately.  A dog with kennel cough should not be taken on walks. Other dogs in the same household are potentially at risk. However, by the time the symptoms develop they have already been exposed, so keeping them separated from the sick dog at this stage provides no benefit. It is best to get any dog with a cough checked out by a veterinarian as soon as possible. The vet will be able to verify that the cough is because of infection, rather than another cause such as heart disease. He or she will also be able to tell you if the dog needs treatment or not.  The vet will perform a thorough physical examination, including taking the dog's temperature, feeling the size of the lymph nodes in its throat, checking its mouth for a foreign object, and listening to its heart and lungs with a stethoscope. In the absence of a heart murmur, and if the veterinarian has a strong suspicion of kennel cough, he or she may suggest "diagnosis by treatment" rather than blood work and other expensive tests. If the dog then fails to respond to treatment as expected, further investigation may be needed.  When you phone to make the appointment, tell the receptionist you suspect your dog has kennel cough. He or she may ask you to wait outside until the vet calls you in. This is to reduce the risk to other canine patients in the waiting room who might be exposed to infection. Your veterinarian may or may not prescribe antibiotics for your dog. If they are prescribed, administer as directed.  Antibiotics are not appropriate in every case. This is because the infection may be viral, in which case antibiotics will not help, because it is the dog's immune system that needs to fight and kill the infection. There is no way of differentiating bacterial from viral infections on the basis of a physical exam alone.  On the other...

Kimberlite pipes are igneous stones, or stones that formed from molten magma, and can found under the surface of the soil. Naturally occurring diamonds are mostly found in these kimberlite pipe deposits. If your crystal was originally sourced from a kimberlite pipe, there's a greater likelihood that it is a diamond rather than another stone. A loupe is a special magnifying glass that jewelers use. Put the diamond under the loupe or microscope and look for rounded edges that have tiny indented triangles. Cubic diamonds, on the other hand, will have parallelograms or rotated squares. A real raw diamond should also appear like it has a coat of vaseline over it. Cut diamonds will have sharp edges. If you performed the tests and suspect that you have a diamond, take it to get graded and verified by a professional jeweler to ensure its authenticity. They can also obtain a letter of authenticity and specific report number through GIA or another diamond grading organization. Getting your crystal professionally evaluated is the most definitive way to determine whether it is a diamond.

Kitchen sinks come in 2 basic designs: under-mounted, which are attached to the countertop from underneath, or drop-ins, which simply drop into the sink opening in a countertop. There are only slight differences in how you remove each kind of sink and they will be explained as you go through the steps. Most of your work will be done here so clean out everything you can from this space.  It will give you more room to move around and more space to place a bucket or your tools. The under sink area is small and confined, with lots of pipes and other hazards to your eyes.  This job can also be messy and hard on your hands, so wearing gloves is a good idea.  Remember that wearing personal protective equipment can seem like a headache at times but it could save you from pain and injury in the long run. Electricity and water don't mix, so unplugging your disposal as soon as possible is a very good idea. You may even want to turn off the circuit that the disposal was plugged in to. Go to your home's fuse box and turn off the circuit breaker controlling the garbage disposal plug. You should have two separate valves located below the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. In some cases, the hot water shut off knob will be red and the cold water shut off knob will be blue, but this is often not the case. Either way, turn both of the handles clockwise until they are all the way off.  Double check that they are closed by turning on the water in the sink.  A few drips at first are fine but the flow of water should be gone.  If you still have water coming out, you may need to consult a plumber to change out your shut off valves or you could do it yourself by following these steps: https://www.wikihow.com/Replace-Shut-off-Valves  If there are no water shut off valves under your sink, you will need to locate them further down your water pipes.  Trace the water supply lines as far as you can, looking for valves where you could shut off the flow of water.  If all else fails, there should be a main water shut...

Kitchens and living rooms require regular vacuuming, and this will increase as the number of people living in the house rises. Lower traffic areas such as bedrooms should be vacuumed once a week. As a general rule of thumb, vacuum an area as many times per week as the number of people that use that space.  For example, a 1-person bedroom can be swept weekly. However, a living area with 4 people should be swept 4 times per week. You will need to vacuum more often if you have a pet that sheds fur or a child with allergies. Move all of the small furniture out of the room once a month, so that you can vacuum the floor beneath it as part of a deeper cleaning routine. Move all of the large furniture out of the room to vacuum beneath it once or twice a year. The HEPA filters in modern vacuum cleaners prevent fine debris from being emitted from the vacuum, which means that you don’t have to dust afterward. Use a microfiber cloth to dust objects, surfaces, and furniture. Shake out the curtains too while you are dusting. Let the dust from the curtains settle on the ground for a few minutes before your vacuum. Any items that are touching the floor which can easily be shifted should be moved at this point. This is so that you can vacuum the room thoroughly. Remove all of the dust and debris from the dust bag or container in the vacuum. This will ensure that the machine has the best suction, and that the floors will be as clean as can be. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner brush and head area are clear of hair too. The vacuum cleaner head has a crevice attachment that you can click on to vacuum around the edges of the room. Also go around the edges of furniture that you cannot vacuum beneath, such as couches. Although you can use the regular vacuum cleaner head for doing the edges, you will get a much better result using the crevice attachment. Change the head attachment to the regular floor brush. Vacuum under tables, bookshelves, beds, and any other furniture that is raised, as dust can build up in these spots too. Start...

Kits are generally not as accurate as laboratory testing, so you want a kit that is from a respected company. Also, look for kits that are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  You can find these kits at home improvement stores and online. Also, choose a kit that covers the tests you want to do. Typical annual tests include coliform bacteria and nitrates. However, you also need to check on inorganic compounds, such as arsenic, lead, copper, and silver, every 2 to 5 years. You should check for volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and herbicides every 5 years or so. You may also want to check the pH of your water, as well as the hardness. Since laboratory testing is the most accurate, you should only use home kits for maintenance testing. For instance, you may want to test with the laboratory once a year, and then use home testing kits in between to check if your levels are still safe. How often you home test is up to you. For instance, you can test every year using a laboratory, and then test quarterly with home kits to make sure your water is still fine. Every kit will be a bit different when it comes to how you use it. Therefore, you need to look at the instructions that come with the kit carefully, so you know exactly what to do. Not following the instructions exactly may lead to inaccurate results. For instance, you'll need to use sterile containers under sterile conditions when testing for coliform bacteria. You may need to let the faucet run for a period of time with some tests. Collect the water samples according to the directions. You may need to cap them to bring them inside, depending on where the sample is taken. Many kits suggest taking samples at the source and inside. Many kits will employ this method. You dip the provided strip in for each contaminant you're testing for. Let the strip develop for the length of time listed on the package.

Kittens go through specific phases of development. Learning about these may help you figure out why your kitten is crying and the best way to console it. The stages of a kitten’s development are:  Birth to 2 weeks: the kitten orients towards sound and its eyes open, separation from its mother or littermates may lead to behavioral issues. 2 to 7 weeks: your kitten begins socializing and playing and may wean at around 6 to 7 weeks, though it may continue to suckle for comfort. 7 to 14 weeks: your kitten increasingly socializes and increases its physical coordination. Kittens shouldn’t be separated from their mothers or littermates before 12 weeks to minimize the risk of developing problematic behaviors. In addition, kittens who are gently handled for 15 to 40 minutes daily for their first 7 weeks are more likely to develop larger brains. Kittens may cry for a lot of different reasons, from being separated too early to being hungry. Recognizing the reasons for why kittens cry may help you identify their specific cries and give them the comfort they need. Your kitten might cry because:  It’s been separated from her mother or littermates too early.  It wants comfort or attention. It is hungry. It is cold.  It has a disease that can cause her to feel unusually hungry or restless.  It has to go to the bathroom. Although you might find that your kitten is crying or mewing too much, it may just be expressing itself. Recognizing that all kittens and cats meow as a normal part of their behavior may help you get used to them crying on occasion.  Determine for yourself when the crying is excessive or because of a need and to if you need to stop it.  Be aware that some cat breeds, such as Siamese, are more prone to a lot of meowing. If you’re not sure about what is causing your kitten’s crying or you’re worried about its health, schedule an appointment with your vet. She can help figure out why your kitten is crying and suggest the best way to get it to stop.  Tell your vet when the meowing started and if anything helps or...

Kneel on a padded gym bench. Place your left foot on the ground and your right knee on top of the bench. Place your left hand in front of you for support. Grab a dumbbell with your right hand and pull the dumbbell up to your armpit. When the dumbbell is fully lifted, it should be parallel to your chest. Do this in 1 smooth, slow motion, and hold the weight in place for about 3 seconds. Hold the weight in place for 3 seconds, and then slowly lower your arm and shoulder to lower the weight. Control your arm as you release your hold position. A controlled lowering gives you the greatest benefit for this exercise. When you’re first starting out, you may only be able to do 1 set of 10-12 reps. As you feel more comfortable performing rows, add on a second set. You may need to decrease the number of reps to 6-8 to be able to complete both sets. As your back becomes stronger, you can increase the number of sets you do. Aim to perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps each. Once you’ve done a full set of arm rows with 1 arm, switch sides to exercise the other half of your back. Stand in front of a barbell and keep your feet shoulder-width apart and bent over so your back is parallel to the floor. Grab onto the bar with a shoulder-width grip. Your hands should be about 2–3 feet (0.61–0.91 m) apart. Then, flex your back muscles and lift the bar up to your lower chest in 1 smooth motion. Hold the bar for 2-3 seconds, and then lower the bar back down slowly. Use your back muscles to control the bar’s descent.  Repeat for 3 sets of 10-12 reps. This will help your lats to bulk up quickly and will allow you to see fast results. If you need to work up to this goal, start with only 1 set of 12 reps. Throughout the bent over row, make sure that your knees and legs flexed slightly to support your lower back.

Know from the get-go that you’re not going to be his number one priority. Don’t expect him to eventually leave his wife (and if that’s something you want, you might want to reexamine your motivations for being his mistress). If you can keep things clear from the beginning, you can have an enjoyable affair for much longer and can save yourself from unneeded frustration and heartbreak. When the relationship starts up, it may be helpful to have a brief conversation about what each of you expects—let him know you don’t expect him to be your boyfriend and that your main interest is having fun. If you want to become a mistress, you’ll need to embrace the fact that you will be a secret and that, most likely, your lover will have to be a secret from your friends and family, too. This means no cute couples photos, few outdoor activities, and keeping your personal life to yourself. Perhaps you prefer knowing that there’s no chance of the relationship getting serious because you simply want to have some fun. If you can adopt the right mindset at the beginning, it could save you a lot of pain and frustration in the long run. Chances are that you’ve thought about this already, but take a moment to check in with your gut. If you’re concerned about the implications of your relationship on his wife and family, think about what that might mean later down the road. Will you feel resentful of him? Will it affect the way you view yourself? Make sure that you feel comfortable with your decision so it doesn’t affect you negatively in the future. Because every situation is different, there isn’t a hard and fast rule to tell you to stop or proceed with this relationship—it’s a decision you’ll have to make for yourself based on your particular circumstances. Being the mistress often means that you won’t have a go-to date for special events, and you often might spend holidays and special occasions alone. Be prepared for this inevitability and have friendships (and other romantic relationships, too, if you want) so that your life is...

Know that there is a considerable amount of cost involved with breeding a horse. There are fees for the stallion to breed with the mare, plus insurance costs to protect you should the mare kick out and damage the stallion, plus transport costs to get the mare to the stallion and back. Bear in mind that she may not become pregnant on the first attempt and so this may need to be repeated. Instead of using a stallion, you can also opt for artificial insemination. This process, in which semen is inserted directly the mares uterus, will require you to pay for the semen, which stallion owners sell, as well as the procedure to implant it. Be aware there are veterinary costs involved to check that the mare is well enough to establish a pregnancy and is free from uterine infections, for pregnancy diagnosis, vaccination against equine herpes virus, tetanus, West Nile virus, and equine encephalitis, during pregnancy, and the cost of covering any complications with foaling. All in whole do not go into breeding from some misty eyed idea of "it would be nice" but have a solid reason for producing a foal. For example, any difficulties during foaling can lead to long-term problems or death of the foal, so if you are breeding for the first time it is advisable to send the mare to a foaling facility where she can be kept under constant surveillance during the last month of her pregnancy. These facilities are expensive and you can expect to pay around $300-500 for the foaling plus the cost of her board for a month.  Indeed, you will also incur additional costs for consumables, such as feed (in the last third of pregnancy), stabling, bedding, and electricity. Then when you have a live healthy foal, it is going to be at least two years until you can saddle the animal, and you have no guarantee of its temperament, so it may not be suited for the purpose for which you bred it. The mare is a seasonal breeder, which means that increasing daylight length stimulates her brain to produce hormones that bring her into heat. The mare...

Seeking help in the first hour of a heart attack greatly improves your chance of recovery. Describe your symptoms to the emergency response operator. Be brief and speak clearly. after calling for help, as needed. If you are witnessing someone having a heart attack, it may be necessary to perform CPR. You only need to do CPR if the person having the heart attack is unconscious and has no pulse, or if the emergency operator instructs you to do so. Continue to administer CPR until the ambulance and medics arrive. An emergency response operator can give you instructions detailing how to perform CPR if you do not know. Sit or lie down and keep the head elevated. Loosen any tight clothing so that the person can move and breath easily. Do not allow a person with chest pain or who has had a heart attack to walk.

Know your own worth before you interact with others. Think about your own goals and accomplishments, and where you’d like to be in the future as an individual. Remember that these interests will always be yours, and that they won’t be compromised if a romantic relationship doesn’t pan out with the girl you like.  No one likes an arrogant person; in fact, arrogance usually indicates that a person is insecure. Instead, try living your life in a calm, self-assured way—girls will find this much more attractive. Don’t feel the need to boast about your accomplishments. Any worthwhile achievement can speak for itself. Always remember that your potential relationship won’t take shape in a single day. Take things slow whenever you talk and interact with her, and pay attention for signals that she might be interested in you. If you try and rush into a relationship, you might turn the girl off and ruin any future chances of dating.  For example, don’t immediately try asking her out. Wait several weeks or months to see if she likes spending time with you. If a girl expresses a lot of interest in hanging out later on, it’s a very good sign that she enjoys spending time with you. Don’t view your own life as a joke, or believe that your sole reason for existing is to get into a romantic relationship. Set a tentative plan for your future, thinking ahead for the kind of career that you’d like to pursue. If you take yourself seriously, a girl is more likely to view you in a serious light, as well. Whether you’re having an online or in-person conversation with the girl you like, don’t be afraid to mention your plans for the future. You can invite her to share her goals and dreams, as well! Maintain a self-confident attitude, but don’t be afraid to make fun of yourself once in awhile. You’ll come off as insincere and conceited if you’re unable to acknowledge any of your own faults.

Know-it-alls generally fall in one of two categories (or a combination of the two). Some know-it-alls have a deep sense of insecurity, and they try to cover it up by knowing as much as they can. Others actually do think they know it all, so they feel compelled to offer their knowledge to others. Knowing where the person's argumentativeness stems from can help you better deal with situation.  When an insecure know-it-all is told they are wrong about something, it plays into their insecurity, and their defenses go up. Try leading questions instead, which work well with this type of person. With the second type of know-it-alls, it's often best to let them have their say, and then try to offer up another opinion. Before diving into an argument with a know-it-all, it's important to think about what you're willing to lose. That is, think about how important the relationship is to you and how important the argument is to you. No matter how careful you are, engaging in an argument can damage a relationship.  For instance, if your boss is a know-it-all, it may be best just to let them think what they're going to think most of the time, so you don't put your job in jeopardy. If the person is someone you're close to, such as a partner or close friend, decide if the argument is really worth the potential hurt. In any argument, you should have an ultimate goal. Maybe you just want them to see your side, or maybe you want them to acknowledge your hurt feelings. Whatever it is, you need to know what it is before you jump into the argument. If the argument is about something that is fact-based, always check your facts first. If you can, bring evidence to the conversation to back up your side. However, when researching, make sure to stick to unbiased sources, instead of ones that just tell you what you want to hear.

Knowing current events is not only great material for small talk, but also a great way to show a girl that you are smart and aware of the world around you. Being able to help a girl learn something new is a great way to make a connection. It can help you build common interests and also helps her see you as a knowledgeable provider. Girls want to become part of a guy's life. If you can teach her and share something that you are interested in with her, it is a great way to draw her in. Girls appreciate guys who have more than one dimension. If all you know about is sports statistics it might be harder to have a conversation with a girl. Learning about music and art are great ways to show her that you are interested in a variety of topics. Girls want to know that they aren't the only one who is responsible for preparing food. Even if you only know how to make one meal, learn the recipe by heart so you can make her an amazing dinner without having to fumble through a cookbook.

Knowing how to spot the warning signs of a drinking problem can help you judge the severity of your loved one's issues. Common signs that a person is abusing alcohol includes:  Drinking despite negative consequences Needing to drink more and more to get the same effects Having problems in relationships, work, or school due to drinking Giving up other activities or interests for drinking Getting in trouble with the law Experiencing withdrawal (i.e. headache, nausea, fatigue, etc.) when they stop drinking Broach the subject of your loved one's drinking during a private moment in which both of you are calm and sober. Avoid putting the spotlight on them in front of others or while they are drinking.  The best time to approach them might be shortly after experiencing negative consequences, like after bailing them out of jail or after they've received a write-up at work. Timing your message after a negative consequence may help it hit home with the person. Rather than coming on too strong, speak to your loved one with a kind, gentle tone. Hold their hand or stroke their shoulder if that's appropriate. Let them know that you are only having the discussion because you care about them deeply. Say things like, "I really love you" or "I care for you." To prevent your loved one from becoming defensive, modify your language using "I" statements. These statements allow you to take ownership for your experience—how their drinking affects you—without pointing fingers. For example, you might say, "I worry you will hurt yourself or someone else when you drive yourself home from the bar late at night. It will make me feel so much better if you talk to someone about your drinking." When discussing your loved one's drinking problem, try to steer clear of heavily loaded terms like "alcoholic" or "alcoholism." Instead stick to simpler descriptions, such as "your drinking." That way, the point of your message doesn't get lost in semantics with them saying "I'm not an alcoholic!" and stomping off in a fit. Your loved one may know...

Knowing what kinds of things that your prom date likes doing will let you cater your proposal to their tastes and interests. Think about what their hobbies are, any sports or activities they are involved in, and the kind of music that they like. Try to incorporate one or more of these things into your proposal for homecoming or prom. For instance:  If she is really into tennis, you can spell out PROM? using one ball for each letter.  If they have a sweet tooth, bake some cupcakes for them, then spell your message out on them in frosting. For bookworms, buy a book from a genre that she enjoys, then slip a note between the pages. You could also give her a bookmark with your invitation. Engage artists by creating a comic. Use the first few panels to show your character asking theirs out to prom. Leave the last panel blank so they can draw their reply! Think of the person's personality and what touches them or gets them invested emotionally. This could be a specific song, photo imagery, or something that they have experienced in the past. Try to weave that into your proposal so that it has the most emotional impact.  For instance, if you know they have a favorite romantic song, you can create a dance and singing routine covering the song. If you've taken pictures with your date, you can include them in a scavenger hunt for your proposal. If you both like a quote or a line from a book, try to integrate that into your proposal. Some people don't like grand public gestures and are easily embarrassed. Other people need big gestures in order to be impressed and understand that you care. For example:  If the girl is easily embarrassed, it would be better to ask her privately, or leaving a note in her locker. You can still be romantic, such as leaving a rose by her car. If the girl enjoys a good show, feel free to pull out all the stops. Ask her out over the PA system during morning announcements, hang up posters, create a song and dance, etc.

Knowing what you want to get out of meditation is an important place to start since different meditation techniques can be used to reach different goals. Consider your motivation for meditation: For example, ask yourself if you hope to gain insight into a problem, improve your concentration, achieve a sense of calm, develop more energy, or better sleep? Are you interested in meditation as a way to overcome abuse, addiction, or other difficult life situations? Now that you’ve identified why you want to meditate, determine the specific meditation exercises that will suit your needs. While most forms of meditation relieve stress and anxiety, certain types of meditation can provide specific benefits and work better with certain personality types.   Mindfulness meditation is good for people who are easily distracted and looking to improve their focus and concentration. If you are an active person who has a hard time sitting still, you might want to consider a meditation technique such as walking meditation where you can move and be outside.  Loving kindness meditation is often recommended for people wanting to feel more compassionate and empathetic. There are a lot of books, articles, and online resources that promise amazing transformations, but it’s a good idea to keep your expectations reasonable. Changing the way you think or feel through meditation can take a long time to achieve. Learning how to meditate takes time and practice, so don’t expect to be comfortable with it immediately. Many people don't allow much time for meditation or choose a good time to practice it. Ideally, the best times are in the early morning or late at night, when it typically is more peaceful and quiet around you and you can relax properly.  You can choose any time when you know your surroundings will be quiet and you can focus for a longer period. Try to set aside 3 to 5 minutes for meditation at first, and gradually build up to about 45 minutes. You might not always have the full time you would like, but planning your meditation...

Knowing what your values are can help you to be more of an individual and to live in a way that will make you happy. Take some time to think about what your values are and write them out. Then, reorganize the list from most important to least important. Some things you can do to help you generate this list include thinking about when you were:  At your happiest. For example, if you felt happiest when you were surrounded by supportive friends and family, then healthy relationships would be one of your values.  Proud. For example, if you felt proud when you graduate high school, then education might be something you value.  Satisfied and fulfilled. For example, you might feel satisfied or fulfilled after a productive day at work, so hark work might be something you value. What does it mean to be special? Look at the people you think are exemplary, notable, or special in some way and identify the key characteristics that make it so for you. You might think people who stick up for themselves stand out in your mind as being special, or people who devote themselves fully to their work, or people who are reserved and stoic in the face of adversity. This will be different for all of us, so focus on figuring out what it is that you respect about your grandfather, your close friend, or a loved one, not what other people say.  Try to stay away from celebrities and stick to looking at people you know in real life. It's easy to identify superficial things, to say that Brad Pitt is special because he's so rich and good-looking, but it's hard to identify or even know the true core of his person. We can only see the public persona, which radiates artificial movie-star prestige, not the real person. Focus on how other people’s characteristics resonate with your own core values and avoid focusing on superficial things. Being special is more about knowing who you are at your core, not from what you think other people are like. Authority doesn't make someone more special. If someone has power over you, is more successful than...

Knowing when to contact a doctor or get help is essential. Stomach pain is a symptom of many different issues and some can be serious, such as peptic ulcers, pancreatitis, appendicitis, autoimmune disease, gall bladder issues, cancer, and more. Generally for stomach pain, get help immediately if:  You have abdominal pain that is sudden and sharp, or you have pain in your chest, neck, or shoulder You’re vomiting blood or have blood in your stool Your abdomen is hard and tender to touch You can't move your bowels and are also vomiting You can’t hold down liquids Though these conditions are typically minor and can easily be treated with over-the-counter medicines, you should see your doctor if:  Your symptoms last longer than a few days or do not improve with medication You lose weight you were not trying to lose You have sudden or severe pain. Get immediate care if you feel a crushing or squeezing pain. You have trouble swallowing Your skin or eyes look pale or yellow You vomit blood or have bloody, dark stool Your stool looks like coffee grounds The other symptoms also associated with “stomach flu” can lead to a situation where you should see a doctor. These include:  You have been vomiting for more than two days Diarrhea persists more than several days or is bloody You have a persistent high fever of 101°F (38.3°C) or higher You have lightheadedness, fainting, or confusion when standing If or when you do decide to see a doctor, do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or any other anti-inflammatory medications or narcotic pain medications unless your doctor has seen you and has prescribed these. They can worsen some stomach pains.  If you know that the source of your cramps is menstrual, however, anti-inflammatories can be taken.  Acetaminophen is acceptable if your doctor has verified that your pain is not related to your liver.

Knowing where all the letters and symbols are on your keypad will significantly speed up your ability to text. Different phones, regions, and languages sometimes make use of different keypad layouts. Depending on these factors, you may have to relearn your cell phone keypad layout.  If your goal is to text super quick, you may want to take some time to firmly ingrain the keypad in your mind. Take a few days and doodle out the keypad on scrap paper as a way of memorizing your cell phone keypad. Some texting apps allow you to customize your keypad. This can help you organize your keypad so its set up naturally for you. If this option is available to you with your texting app, you may want to customize your keypad. The two main styles of texting for touchscreen phones are generally called "swiping" and "touch type." These two techniques are a matter of preference, and you may find that one works best for you over another. You may also find that your phone only supports one and not the other. You'll have to experiment to see which works best for you and check the user manual of your phone to see what style of texting is supported.  Swiping involves touching the first letter of the word you want to type on the touchscreen of your phone and pathing your finger through the rest of the letters of the word without taking your finger off the screen. Once you have finished your word, you should remove your finger from the screen. Touch type is much like the typing you would do on a keyboard. For each letter of the word you are trying to type, you should tap your screen where the letter appears on your on-screen keyboard. Non-touchscreen phones rely on a button based keypad, where each number of your pad generally corresponds to a set of letters of the alphabet. Some phones may also have small keyboards, which you can use as you would a normal computer keyboard, pressing each letter on the keyboard to type words. Phones that use a number pad with corresponding letters often have predictive texting software, like...  T9...

Knowing whether a girl likes you or not is far from easy. If there’s any indication that she’s not into you or not comfortable kissing, stop in your tracks: never try to force a girl to do anything. Before making any moves, think about some signs she might be giving you.  When the two of you talk, does she touch your shoulder, or otherwise try to make body contact? Has she ever blushed or batted her eyelashes when the two of you talk? Have any of her friends asked you what you think about her? Have they ever given you any hints that she likes you? Perhaps you asked her to go to the dance with you and she said yes. That’s a good sign that she likes you, but keep in mind she might just like you as a friend. Look for other hints instead of making assumptions. Breath mints are a key part of setting the stage. Keep a pack of mints in your pocket, and pop one in before asking for a dance. If the music is loud and you lean in close to ask her for a dance, you’re much more likely to get a “Yes!” if your breath is minty fresh.  Choose mints over gum. You don’t want to be stuck with gum in your mouth later when you go in for a kiss. Put a bit of chapstick on, too. Don’t use too much, as gooey lips aren’t much better than chapped lips. Try not to use mints and chapstick in front of her, or you’ll look like you’re trying too hard. Ideally, ask her to dance when a romantic song comes on that you both know. Think about requesting a song from the DJ if possible, and choose a song you know she finds meaningful. If you two are close, and if she’s comfortable with it, wrap one arm around her waist and take the other in your other hand as you lead her to the dance floor.  Try to be charming and polite. If she’s sitting down when you ask her, take her hand in yours and gently draw her up to her feet or closer to you. It’s certainly fine to be a bit nervous, but try not to break the ice by being silly. For example, don't hold her hand way out away from you and act like you’re about to dance a tango. Try to be sweet, sincere, and...

Knowing why you don’t want to date a guy friend will help you in many ways when he asks you out, from feeling less guilty to helping him understand and back off. One reason you may not want to date is because you don’t feel any physical attraction or chemistry. If you don’t feel any physical attraction or romantic attraction for your friend, tell him. You may want to turn down your guy friend when he asks you out because you don’t want to ruin your friendship. Even if you feel something that is more than friendship for him, if you are concerned about losing him as a friend, you may want to say “no” to dating.  Be aware that this reason for not dating may not hold out for either party; if a guy senses that he has a chance, he will most likely keep trying. If you are a little bit attracted to him, you may end up dating anyway. If you are of a different sexual orientation from your guy friend, this is obviously a reason why you should say no, and one that will most likely keep him from pursuing you further. However, make sure that you are comfortable telling him about your sexual orientation. If you do not feel comfortable sharing this information with him, then you do not have to. You can just continue to be firm about your decision not to date him. Dating someone in the workplace is never a good idea. For one thing, it is usually against the rules of an organization. For another, if you break up, this creates a stressful environment not only for you and your guy friend, but for everyone around you. This is another scenario where if you do have feelings of attraction, the guy friend might sense it no matter how many times you say “no” just because he works with you every day. In these cases, it can be difficult to stay out of a romantic relationship, so you need to practice good boundaries. If you are in a situation where someone is significantly older than you, saying “no” is socially understandable. This is especially true in high school, when dating someone older than 18 is not only ill-advised, it can get...

Knowing why you must cutting carbs, start exercising, and eat differently will help you adapt your diet accordingly. There are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat, and losing weight rapidly requires dropping a lot of these calories from your diet. For the rest, exercise burns calories and kick starts your metabolism to burn more calories while you sleep. 3,500 calories a day is a lot -- and you need to be ready to sacrifice to make this possible. It won't be a comfortable 7 days, but you can get through it if you keep your end goal in sight.  A calorie is a calorie. This means that, at the end of the day, weight loss is about decreasing the number of calories you eat, no matter what source they're from. A professor in Kentucky once ate Twinkies and lost 27-lbs to prove this point. How? He ate very, very few.  If you feel dangerously nauseous, light-headed, woozy, or tired while on this diet. stop and have a snack. You can still lose a lot of weight by following the basic tenants of this diet, even if you need to "cheat" for your safety once or twice. Get a dieting app, use a calorie counting website, or simply write down your calories in a journal. You need to know how many calories you eat each day to figure out where your diet can change.  You will need to eat roughly 1,000 or fewer calories a day to drop a pound every day for a week. If you can do this slowly, before your one-week challenge, you'll have the best results. Carbs are a dietary staple, but they hold a lot of water weight (binding to more water than fat or protein) and are easy to overeat. Try to get yourself below 50g of cards (roughly a scoop of pasta) a day.  Switch spaghetti squash for pasta -- it contains less than 1/4 of the calories. Swap an English Muffin for bagels or hamburger buns to save 100 calories. Make a taco salad instead of a burrito.  Try to slowly lower your carb diet in the 2-3 weeks before the major weight loss. You body will adapt to the change, and by the time your "7 days-7pounds" comes around your body will be ready to...

Knowing you want to be an explorer isn’t enough. You need to know what’s out there that could use exploring. To wrap your head around all the opportunities that await you on our little blue marble, read books about exotic, untapped lands. Study up on your geography and knowledge of other cultures. Talk to other people about their experiences and places they find interesting. The more you know, the more you’ll know exactly what you want to do and the more you’ll be prepared to do it. Exploring on the professional level isn't just about exploring – it's about finding something to add to the knowledge of the world. You need another idea that you want to work on. Do you want to present research? Write a book? Doing your research will help you refine this idea. All that reading and studying isn’t for nothing – now that you have a decent idea of what’s out there, you’ll need to choose where you want to explore. The winter-torn rivers of Siberia? The dusty huts of the Nagas people in southern Africa? What's more, what do you want to do with that project? Is it going to result in new irrigation for African tribes? Or is it going to be a novel on living in Arctic climes? The more unique and interesting your project, the easier it will be to get started. When the exploration is over, you'll still have this work to complete – and you'll be able to live your travels all over again in completing it. Simply put, exploring costs money. Buckets and buckets of money, especially if you’re doing it long-term or need expensive supplies to get whatever it is you’re studying studied. Because of that, you’ll need to find sponsors, media partners, and kind souls to get your project afloat and to give it the validity it needs – when you get back, you want to share your work with others, not just have it be over!  Kickstarter is a great website for this. It is full of people proposing projects just like yours, and people donate money to the causes they believe in. When you're finished, you give them a shout out in your best-selling...

Knowing your reasons for wanting to change increases the chance that you will be successful at meeting your goal. If you want to practice willpower, try to determine and understand why, no matter if the cause is very specific or very general. Diverse examples include:  You want to get to work on time. You want to stop smoking. You want to be kinder to others. You want to be more active. You want to be more successful. You want to get in touch with your spiritual side. Increasing your self-control in any aspect of your life can have a positive effect on your willpower in general. However, you are more likely to succeed at practicing and improving your willpower if you focus on one goal at a time. Prioritize your goals and determine substeps to decide where to begin. For instance:  Suppose you have an overall goal of being more successful in life, and you have decided that being better at your job is the place to start. You have been chronically late to work, and determine that getting to work on time is the first step you should take. Focus on exercising willpower by waking up early so that you get to work on time. Don't move on to another goal until you have accomplished this first step successfully. It is important to keep track of your progress as you seek to practice willpower. That way, you can tell if you are on your way to success, and whether or not you need to make any adjustments to improve.  If you are trying to get to work on time, for instance, keep a log each day that records when you go to bed and when you wake up. Notice if you are making improvement or need to make changes. For example, if you notice you are waking up on time everyday except for Mondays, focus renewed willpower on fixing that. There are several websites, apps, and programs that can help you monitor your progress as you seek to achieve goals. However, be careful not to over-monitor yourself or get caught up in using one of these aids, as it can become distracting and reduce your willpower. It is perfectly ok and beneficial to...

Labor certification must be filed with the Department of Labor (DOL) by an employer and must comply with the regulations under the PERM process.  The purpose of labor certification is to prove that the employer has tested the labor market to ensure that there is no qualified, willing, and able US worker who can fill the job opening.  If there is such a US citizen, then the employer cannot sponsor the employee for that particular job.  To test the labor market, the employer must recruit for the position by running various advertisements and monitoring whether there are any qualified applicants for the position.  Once this is done for the time periods laid out by DOL, the employer may file the application.  All advertising and legal fees for this step must be paid by the employer, not the employee. This is one of the most important parts of the process because these will be used to test the labor market.  The requirements should specify what degree of education is required (Bachelor’s, Master’s, none, etc.) and how many years of experience are required. To adequately test the job market and ensure that your case will be approved, the applicant must be qualified for the job requirements put forward by the employer. The prevailing wage is the minimum wage that the employer must pay the employee once he or she receives the green card.  The prevailing wage is determined by the specific job requirements, duties of the position, as well as location of the position.  To determine the prevailing wage, the employer can file Form 9141 online or visit the Online Wage Library. To file the labor certification online, the employer must create an account at plc.doleta.gov.  To create an account, the employer must choose a username and password, fill in the company information, and designate a contact person.  If your immigration attorney will be filing the application, the employer must create a sub-account for the attorney with his or her information. Creating an account can be done while waiting for the prevailing wage...

Labradors can be very high energy dogs and are fairly large animals when full grown. There are books on the market that offer guidelines to help you make a choice of breed or temperament. For instance, The Perfect Puppy: How to Choose Your Dog by Its Behavior, by Doctors Benjamin and Lynette Hart may be helpful or The Right Dog for You by Daniel Tortora is another resource to help you with your decision.  Another way to learn about Labs is to read about the breed's history and standard. Educate yourself about temperament testing a dog or puppy as a method to help you choose a dog that fits your family and lifestyle. There are many resources out there on the subject. A puppy that is really high energy may be the right fit for an active family able to exercise this kind of pet, but may be too much energy for another family. Puppies who are extremely shy may prove overly fearful later and require extra attention toward socialization to prevent serious behavior issues. Are you going to have the time to housebreak the puppy and socialize it properly? Are you on vacation when you first get the puppy and then have to go back to work leaving the puppy alone all day? Prepare and educate yourself so that your puppy's start in your home is successful. Contact dog rescue groups in your area. You may be able to get contact information from your local humane society, dog officer, veterinarian's office or other pet-related businesses about local rescue organizations.You can visit the American Kennel Club (AKC) website for contact information for breed-specific rescue groups in your state. Many rescue groups have an extensive placement process. They will require an application, an interview and a home visit to ensure a successful adoption. Some may even ask to consult your current veterinarian for information about you and previous pets.  If you don't own your home, also be prepared to have a letter from your landlord stating that you are allowed to have a dog. While this may seem excessive to some people, the rescue group...

Lack of sleep can contribute to both mental and physical stress, especially if the sleep issues persist over a long period of time. It can affect your diet, your performance at work and your overall mood, which, in turn, can lead to stress or anxiety-related hair loss.  Improve your sleep by getting into a regular sleep pattern - that is, waking up and going to bed at the same time every day. You should aim to be getting at least 7 to 8 hours sleep a night. Avoid doing anything too stimulating before bed. Don't watch any scary films or TV shows, stay away from the bright screen of your laptop and phone, and don't exercise or eat anything just before bed. Read a book or take a hot bath instead. Eating healthily gives your body more energy, enabling it to better cope with stress. Diet also contributes to the strength of hair, making it less likely to fall out.  Eat at least three well-balanced meals per day. Never skip breakfast, as it gets your metabolism going in the morning and helps to prevent cravings for unhealthy snacks before lunch. Stay away from processed, sugary foods, and those high in trans fats. Instead, eat more fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and foods high in monounsaturated fats, such as avocados, oily fish, nuts, and olives. Increase your intake of certain vitamins and minerals which contribute to healthy hair growth and your overall well-being, such as B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, selenium, and magnesium. Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial, as they can help to improve the health of the scalp. Exercise can be hugely beneficial in helping to alleviate emotional stress. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins - also known as happy hormones - which help you to feel calmer and more relaxed.  The type of exercise you do is up to you - when it comes to relieving stress, try to find something you enjoy, whether it's running, rowing, cycling, dancing, or rock climbing. Anything that gets your heart rate up and puts a smile on your face will be beneficial....

Lap blankets can range in size from very small to very large. If you are knitting this project for yourself or for someone else, then consider what the ideal measurements might be. You might even consider measuring the width of someone’s lap and the length of their legs to decide how large your blanket should be.  For a small lap blanket, the final measurements may be about 24 to 48 inches. For a medium lap blanket, the final measurements maybe about 30 to 50 inches. For a large lap blanket, the final measurements may be about 50 to 60 inches. You will need between five and 10 regular sized balls of medium weight yarn to complete a lap blanket. The larger you plan to make the blanket, the more yarn you will need. However, you can also get extra-large balls of yarn that are meant specifically for knitting blankets.  Check the yarn label to determine how many balls you will need to complete your project.  If you are in doubt, then it is better to get an extra ball or two. Use any color or colors you like. You can choose just one color, a couple of colors, or make a rainbow-like blanket with several colors. You can use regular knitting needles or circular knitting needles to make a blanket. If you opt for regular needles, just make sure that they are long ones so that they will be able to hold all of the stitches.  You can also use a pair of circular needles. The length of nylon suspended between the two circular needles will easily hold all of the stitches.  A pair of size 10 regular or circular needles (32 or 40 inch) is a suggested size for medium weight yarn. However, if you decide to go with a bulky yarn, then you might want to use larger needles, like size 13 needles. Circular needles are usually meant for knitting in the round, but you do not have to knit in the round when you use them. If you decide to use circular needles, knit across all stitches as you usually would and then turn the stitches around and knit across the row in the opposite direction. Before you get started you will need to gather a few...

Laptop computers run on batteries that can deplete rapidly, especially if you're using your laptop intensively. Unless you're somewhere remote or foreign where you absolutely have to go without, it's better to leave your laptop plugged in. They're called "laptops" because they can go on your lap, but that doesn't mean that it's always the best or right place. Try to find a comfortable angle for your wrists and hands - this might mean moving the laptop around until you find the best position for you. Don't place your laptop on soft, fuzzy or shaggy surfaces that can block its vents. Most laptops have fan vents located on the sides and bottom that should be left unblocked for the laptop to run. Most laptops have some type of clasp or latch which allows the screen to open.  If the laptop won't open, don't try to force it! Look for a latch instead. You shouldn't have to force the screen open. Do not pull back the lid too far. A 45 degree obtuse angle is the most the laptop should be open to. The lid or hinge mechanism may be damaged or broken if pulled back any further. On most laptops, the power button is located slightly behind the keyboard. The power button is usually marked with the universal symbol for 'power on', a circle with a line going halfway through it. Since laptops are designed for portability as well as computing power, your laptop may have specialized hardware that will cause it to take longer to boot up than a desktop or smart phone. On most computers, this is a flat, touch-sensitive area called a trackpad which will allow you to use your finger as your mouse. Simply slide one finger on the trackpad area to move the cursor.  Many trackpads are multi-touch - using multiple fingers will produce different user interface actions than using just one. Experiment with your laptop by dragging one, two or three fingers across it and trying different 'gestures' or movements with your fingers. Lenovo laptops may use a small, red joystick-like button called a "trackpoint" located in the middle of the...

Laptop's will often have the manufacturer, make, and model number printed on the laptop itself.  The make and model number is often printed on the bottom of the laptop, but is sometimes also printed above the keyboard on the inside of the laptop. In a search engine, type the manufacturer, make, and model number of your laptop, and then type manual. Among the search results, you'll find a link to the manual itself or to a page on the laptop manufacturer's website where you can download the manual or maintenance guide.   You can also go directly to the manufacturer's website to get your laptop's manual or maintenance guide. If it's available, download the laptop's service and maintenance guide, because it will have detailed information about the specific hardware you can use to upgrade your laptop.

Large "circle lenses" can achieve a more dramatic effect than makeup, especially if colored with an unnatural color. Always get your eyes measured by an optometrist first, and purchase the contacts from a reliable source. Poorly made or poorly fitting contacts can cause serious eye damage.  For an especially dramatic effect, try "sclera lenses," which cover almost the entire visible eye. Always put on contacts before applying mascara. Dark or bold lipstick will make your lips appear fuller and larger, which will detract attention from your eyes. On many face types, over-accentuated lips and eyes together can be overwhelming or chaotic. Consider a light pink lipstick or clear gloss instead. You can, however, make an exaggerated heart-shaped bow on top of your lips, if you are imitating an anime character with this feature. The innocent look of most female anime characters can be reinforced with a light pink blush on the cheekbones. For a uniquely anime look, cross the blush over the bridge of the nose from cheekbone to cheekbone. Brightly colored purple, blue, green, or other eyeliners can achieve an even less realistic look. You may wish to use this instead of black eyeliner if you are imitating cyberpunk anime, or other unusual styles. A thinner, higher arch looks more animated than a natural eyebrow, especially if drawn boldly. Optionally, you can also use unusual colors. Wiping a gluestick over your natural eyebrows will flatten them out to make this more convincing. Keep two teaspoons in the refrigerator or a cold cellar for 20-30 minutes. Put the bowl of the spoons over your eyes until the spoons have warmed up. This pulls the skin around your eyes tight, temporarily making you look wide-eyed.

Large fluctuations in humidity can lead to discoloration and degraded strength in a sisal rug. Try to keep your rug in a climate-controlled environment. If you notice large fluctuations in humidity in the area where you keep your rug, consider investing in either a dehumidifier or a humidifier.  A dehumidifier may be more practical if you live in a place that is typically drier but has a humid period. A humidifier may be more useful if you live in a place that is typically more humid but has noticeable dry periods. If you experience one abnormally dry day but do not want to invest in a humidifier, hold a spray bottle filled with water well above the rug. Spray the air with water and let the mist settle on the fibers, moisturizing the rug. Since sisal is a natural fiber, it can be bleached by the sun. It is fine to keep a sisal rug in the sunlight just so long as you ensure relatively even sun exposure across the rug. If sunlight only reaches a portion of the rug, it may bleach out that individual part, leading to inconsistent coloration across the rug. If your rug has been discolored by water, leaving it out in the sun for several hours may help bleach the fibers back to a more natural color. Fabric protectants made especially for sisal can help keep the rug looking better and make it more difficult for wet spills to stain the surface. Look online or at a home improvement store for a fabric protector meant for use on sisal. Use and wear will decrease the effectiveness of fabric protectants over time. Reapply as you notice your rug getting dirty faster or as you find it is harder to fully clean the rug.

Larger parties with 25 or more guests often require more planning to be successful. Reduce stress and be prepared by starting far enough in advance. Start by creating a party checklist and timeline for when things need to be finished. Important things to consider include: booking the venue, arranging entertainment if necessary (DJ, photo booth, games, trivia, etc.), sending out invitations, collecting RSVPs, decor, food and/or catering, and drinks and/or a bartender.  Recruit help. Do not try to do everything on your own. Get a group of friends and family together and delegate tasks. Set-up a ‘central command station”, such as an email chain or private Facebook group, to keep one another updated. Check-in regularly with your helpers to see how things are coming along. Create a budget and stick to it. What will be spending money on, asking other friends or family to contribute. Use your checklist as a guideline for costs. Call around and ask for quotes on party supplies, venue prices, and entertainment. Write these estimates next to each item, use them to barter for a better deal, and keep track of your spending as you go along. Decide how many people you and your friend want to invite. Organize the list into family and friends.  Do not invite more than 20% of people that can comfortably fit in your party space – typically 70 to 80% of all invitees will actually attend.  Consider people’s significant others and if they are likely to attend when deciding who (and how many people) to invite. This is important if the party will be somewhere other than your house. Depending on availability, you may need to make reservations weeks to months in advance. If you don't want the hassle of hosting a party at your house or apartment, you can often reserve community centers or church halls for a small fee. These places have the added benefit of providing tables, chairs, and access to a kitchen. Things to consider when selecting a venue include: availability of parking, if they serve food, who is responsible for set-up and...

Laser hair removal is not considered a permanent method of preventing hair growth, but it can greatly reduce the amount of hair you see growing in specific areas after a number of treatments.  Laser hair removal can be rather expensive and will require repeated visits for each portion of your body you hope to treat.  Laser hair removal procedures can be quick.  One laser can treat multiple hair follicles at once, and requires only an instant to work. Your skin may feel sunburned after the procedure for a few days, but there are few risks otherwise. Discuss how many treatments you can expect to pay for before you see long-lasting results. It may take between three and seven treatments to permanently reduce hair growth.  Laser hair removal is often not a completely permanent solution, so be wary of any clinic making such promises.Keep in mind that cost varies by the size of the treatment area and, depending on the luxury of the location, a session could cost several hundred dollars. Laser hair removal requires the targeting of hair follicles, which may be removed by waxing or plucking.  Allow your hair to grow naturally for six weeks in order to ensure the laser can properly target and kill hair follicles. Do not wax or pluck hairs between laser hair removal sessions either. Laser hair removal can remove hair for up to six weeks, but the hair will continue to grow back.  After three to seven treatments in one area, hair growth can be permanently limited, but you still may experience limited hair growth in those regions.  Wearing a cold compress after each procedure can soothe the affected skin and limit irritation. Anti-inflammatory creams or lotions can also increase comfort immediately after the procedure.

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light to penetrate the hair follicle and destroy the hair. It is certified by the FDA to permanently reduce hair. This means that hair growth will be reduced over time, and hair may be completely gone for years at a time. Many patients will need multiple treatments to keep hair from growing back. This is not a permanent solution, but may last for years. There are few side effects, although treatments can cause pain afterward. This pain is usually treated with over the counter medication.  Visit a dermatologic surgeon to get laser hair removal done. Make sure you find a doctor experienced and trained in performing laser hair removal. Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal according to the FDA and the American Medical Association. In electrolysis, an electrode is inserted into the skin and an electric current passes through the hair follicle, inhibiting hair growth.  It is not painful, though may cause some redness after each treatment. Patients will need a series of treatments over time, with each treatment lasting 15-20 minutes.  You must be a licensed and certified technician in order to perform electrolysis, so make sure the doctor you choose has a license before undergoing the procedure.

Laser hair-removal is a proven method to remove hair completely from your body, minimizing future hair growth. Although the process is effective, laser treatment requires a lot of patience and money. If you have decided to go for a laser treatment, go when you have a full hair growth. This will help the specialist to have a thorough idea about the thickness and properties of your hair which would help them to decide the radiation intensity to use. In order to completely clear your body, you need to have at least 6 sittings of laser hair removal. This is not only time-consuming, but painful. However, results can last a long time.

Latex paint can be removed using rubbing alcohol. Pour a little rubbing alcohol onto the overspray spot — how much rubbing alcohol you use will depend on how big the overspray area is, but you should create a small puddle of rubbing alcohol that covers the overspray in a thin layer. Let the rubbing alcohol sit so that it has time to break up the paint. This should only take a few minutes, and sometimes waiting just 30 seconds will do the job. Once the rubbing alcohol has absorbed into the overspray, use a clean paper towel or rag to wipe it up off the surface. The overspray should wipe off completely after being treated with rubbing alcohol. However, you can use a scraper to gently scrape off any overspray spots, if necessary. For a final clean up, dip a clean rag or paper towel in soapy water. Use the rag to wipe down the surface that had overspray on it, making sure that you remove any excess residue and rubbing alcohol. Dry the surface thoroughly.

Lather your hands with the soap and wash them for 40-60 seconds so they are clean. This will ensure you are touching the patient with clean hands and are not exposing them to any germs. Explain the steps you are going to take to transfer them to a chair or a stretcher. Be clear about each step and how you are going to move them or support them. This will prepare them for the move so they are not caught off guard. For example, you may say, “I am going to transfer you to this chair, supporting you with my arms,” or “My assistant and I are going to move you to this stretcher, supporting you with a slide board so the transfer is smooth.” Hold the patient’s hands, placing 1 hand in each of their hands. Ask the patient to squeeze your hands as hard as they can. Notice if 1 side feels stronger in your hands. You can also test their feet by gripping each of their feet between your hands. Ask the patient to press down on your hands like they are pressing the accelerator of a car. Notice which side feels stronger in your hands. Look around the transfer area for any loose cords or tubes and adjust these items so they are not in your way. You want to have your feet firmly planted on the ground in the transfer area so you are not at risk of slipping or losing your footing.  You should be wearing non-slip shoes to ensure you have a solid grip on the floor. If you are transferring a patient from a bed, check that the wheels on the bed are in the locked position so it does not move or shift when you transfer the patient. If you are transferring a patient in their home, move any area or throw rugs that could cause you to trip.
