The same as with the blowguns themselves, you can simply choose to buy darts from a professional outlet if you lack the time, materials or skill for it. Outlets like Cabela's have a solid variety of different dart types you can purchase from. If you're thinking of hunting with a blowgun, it's recommended you use professional ammunition. Expert blowgun users may go as far as to modify professional darts after they buy them. It requires professional-grade metalworking equipment for customizations to reasonably benefit you however. As silly as it may sound, marshmallows can make a perfect ammunition for blowguns. Marshmallows are very light, so they tend to shoot very far with a regular amount of force from the blowgun. They can be bought cheaply in bulk from a grocery store, and are completely safe to shoot around indoors. You can make a fun game out of using marshmallows . You can try to shoot a marshmallow into someone's mouth from a distance. This is great for parties. Paintballs are a great sort of pre-made ammunition. They're usually small and light, so they're perfect for use in a blowgun. Paintballs can get pretty messy, so they're only recommended for use outdoors. Paintball repeaters are available for purchase. They attach to the mouthpiece end of a blowgun and load a new paintball with the press of a button. There are pre-made targets for blowguns you can purchase online. Otherwise, part of the fun of using a blowgun is experimenting with all of the different things you can shoot at. Try combining different types of targets with different kinds of darts and see how different combos turn out. It is recommended in the long run that you make a wide variety of darts. Certain types of darts favour certain activities, but you're bound to have the most fun if you have the widest range of opportunities at your disposal.

The same facial cleansers used for acne on your face can generally be applied to any part of the body that's prone to acne outbreaks. If you know that you tend to get a lot of acne on your back, for example, you may want to try using a facial cleanser specifically for your back on a regular basis to help prevent future outbreaks.  Facial cleansers help remove dirt, sweat, body oil, and anything else that might clog your pores.  Choose a gentle cleanser that won't irritate or damage your skin. Even though your back (for example) may not be as sensitive as your face, it's still best to avoid irritating your skin with harsh cleansers. Work your chosen cleanser into a lather, then apply it to the part of your body most susceptible to acne outbreaks. Thoroughly wash the cleanser away under running water like you would for your face. It's best to treat body acne in the shower, as washing your back or neck may get messy in the sink. There are many over-the-counter topical creams and lotions available that help treat acne. While it may be difficult to navigate which products are most effective, you can compare products by their ingredients to get a better sense of what products you need. Common over-the-counter topical ingredients include:  Alpha hydroxy acids - remove dead skin cells to prevent pores from clogging, reduce skin inflammation, and stimulate new skin growth.  Benzoyl peroxide - kills bacteria on your skin that may cause pores to clog  Retinoid creams/lotions - help unclog pores and help remove dead skin cells to prevent future pore clogs.  Salicylic acid - helps prevent pores from plugging Sulfur - helps remove both dead skin cells and excess body oil from the skin Certain irritants may contribute to acne across your body, especially if you are prone to sweating. One of the most common irritants for body acne is tight clothing, which may hold sweat and oil against the pores of the skin. Wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid tight-fitting straps from accessories like backpacks and sports equipment. These...

The same set of clothing can look great on one person and completely ridiculous on another. Identify your body “type” and wear clothes that fit it best.  If you have an average build (with shoulders broader than the midsection and lean legs), you have a good variety of options. Slightly oversized or skinny articles of clothing won’t look out of place on your build. If your shoulders are wider than average, with a noticeably thinner waist, shirts with horizontal stripes or V-necks can help accentuate your broad features. You may need to purchase a specialized size, such as slim fit, but skinny is likely too constricting for your body type. For a more rectangular or less defined build, add and accentuate definition where possible. Layer clothing, such as with knit shirts or jackets. Go for skinnier pants to help make the more layered part of your upper body appear broader. Consider sticking with slim fit to avoid clothing that hangs off of your body. If you have a more pronounced midsection, remove attention from this area with black clothing, which is a slimming color. Vertical stripes can also help you appear thinner. Avoid neckties, turtlenecks and other items of clothing that can cause you to look “squeezed” at the top of your body. Find a good tailor. A tailor can take your measurements and help adjust clothing to fit your body best. Putting on just the right accessories can make you stand out from the crowd. Choose your accessories according to the clothing you’re wearing that day.  Mix and match your patterns. If you put on a tie or scarf, make sure the colors and pattern do not clash with the rest of your ensemble. You wouldn’t want to wear a vertical stripe tie with a horizontal shirt pattern, or bright neon socks with an otherwise subdued pants. Contrasting color can work if you plan well. A tie with a color complementary to your shirt can help draw attention to your face, for example. Pick your shoes carefully. Your shoes can contribute or detract from your overall style just as much as your hat or...

The sandpaper-like surface of a magic eraser can damage the finish on some surfaces, like varnished wood or glossy paint. Wet the magic eraser, then test it on a small spot before you start your project to make sure it won’t leave any damage. Magic erasers can actually be used dry, but adding a little water to the sponge will help it absorb dirt more easily, much like wetting a towel before wiping down counters. After you wet the eraser, squeeze out any excess water, just like you would with a regular sponge. For most dirt and grime, you’ll see a noticeable difference just by wiping the sponge across the surface. However, you might have to scrub stubborn stains like rust or mildew.

The scene culture puts a lot of emphasis on online presence, especially via social media and networking platforms. This originated with Myspace and continues today on all social media platforms. Members of the scene culture will have friends and followers in excess and typically post profile images of themselves that are highly stylized. The details of their lives are often shared frequently via pictures and status updates, sometimes exhaustively.  By contrast, emo culture is far more introverted. A social media presence is common, but the sharing isn’t excessive and friends and followers are usually obtained through connections through music and shared interests in particular bands. Online communities are frequently created by those of the emo culture, and they often use the internet to seek out other emos that they can connect to.  Emo posts and status updates are often cryptic and emotional. Quoting song lyrics as a way to explain to the world how you feel inside is a common emo characteristic. The scene culture overwhelmingly embraces and celebrates gender-bending and androgyny. The approach is reminiscent of glam rock icons of the 1970s, such as David Bowie. Experimentation in sexuality is commonplace and the lines between genders are deliberately blurred. Feminine or androgynous looks are favored by all genders within scene culture, with little emphasis on masculinity.  While the emo subculture in no way condemns androgyny, there is no emphasis on it at all. In fact, in the past emo has been criticized for being incredibly male-centric. This criticism is debatable, as all criticisms are, but the members of emo bands are predominantly male. However, there is no gender dominance among the fans of emo music, which appears to be enjoyed by all equally. While the stereotype is frequently overstated, there is a tendency among those who identify as emo to be emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, withdrawn and even angsty. This stereotype originated in emo music, which often focuses on similar themes. Because...

The script is the blueprint of any film. That said, a filmmaker's job is to turn words on a page into a story with cinematography, sound, lighting, actors, costumes, and much more. A director starts with only the script as well.  They try to find the best way to keep the spirit of the words intact (funny, politically-charged, dramatic, etc.) while still telling a unique story. When reading the script, think about:  How would you set up a scene? What kind of props, lighting, and music would you use in the background? What is the key image or idea of the screenplay? How would you show it on film? What sort of tone would fit the dialogue? Fast, bright, and witty, or slow and dramatic? Are there places the movie breaks from the script? Would you have made the same choices? When is the first big climax? Where is the monster first revealed? At what point do you start to see things from the villain's point of view? Films have to fit in a small time frame, usually under three hours, and thus have developed a rhythm that you need to tap into as a director. Try to keep track of the push and pull of emotions in a good movie. How does timing make or break key moments, like big joke or climactic emotional catharsis? The easiest way to do this is to ask, "what did that scene or shot accomplish?" As a filmmaker, this is your fundamental question -- how do you make the images on screen meaningful? The easiest way to do that is to make sure that the audience is in a different place at the end of a scene or shot as when the begun. When watching great movies, try and find out the motivation between cuts and scenes that may seem unnecessary. There is no right answer here-- you're just trying to see other filmmakers in action. Even if you don't think a scene is useful, can you see why the director might think it is important? If you see a camera angle you love, try and break down how you would recreate it. Think about how you might use a similar special effect in your own films. If you're stuck, look up behind-the-scenes clips...

The script outline is a guide that includes a rough idea of the number of scenes in the movie. Most feature length scripts have 50-70 scenes and run about 100-120 pages long. They usually have three acts that include:  Act 1: This is where you introduce the setting, characters, and inciting incident. The inciting incident is the event that gets your protagonist going and motivated to act. Act 1 is about 30 pages long. Act 2: This is where your protagonist identified her goal or desire and encounters obstacles that make it difficult for her to achieve her goal. It contains the bulk of the story, full of urgency and tension. Act 2 is usually about 60 pages long. Act 3: This includes the story’s climax, where the tension is highest as the protagonist tries to achieve her goal. There is also a clear ending, where the protagonist gets what she wants or fails to achieve her goal. Act 3 is usually 20-30 pages long. A rough draft is your first go at the script. Write quickly and do not think too much about what you are writing. Get your ideas down on paper and avoid editing the script as you go. Use your long line, treatment, and outline as a guide while you write. You can try writing the rough draft in a few days or a week. Focus on getting your ideas down on paper, rather than writing a perfect draft. Describe things that can be seen or heard on screen. Include descriptors that paint a visual picture in the reader's mind. Note any sounds or images that are important to the scene. For example, you may describe a character injecting drugs as "Naomi MOANS as she sticks the needle into her vein. Blood SPURTS into the syringe as she pushes down on the plunger." Make sure the dialogue tells the reader something about the character. Avoid generic dialogue like "Hi, how are you?" or "What's new?" Instead, use dialogue that is particular to your characters. Include slang or turns of phrase that only they would use.  For example, you may have a character who speaks in formal British English when they get nervous or upset. Or...

The search for a new job can take quite a while — by some measures, one month for each $10k in expected salary. If you're looking for a well-paying job, that's a lot of time to be out of work. If your job is truly horrendous and you can't take it anymore, consider quitting. Otherwise, try to stick it out. Your wallet will thank you, as will your future employer: It's easier to get a job if you already have a job, as you're considered "employable." You know the saying: "The grass is always greener on the other side." A lot of people dislike their jobs for good reason, but some believe the grass is always greener on the other side, and get a rude awakening when they switch jobs, only to find their situation worse on the other side. It's extremely tough to gauge whether your future job could be worse than your current one. The fact that you want to switch jobs should tip you off that you're unhappy; just make sure you're unhappy for good reason, not some unrealistic expectation of what the work world is like. Are you merely switching jobs within the same sector, or are you switching careers? There's a pretty big difference. Switching jobs in the same industry doesn't require nearly as much planning and legwork as switching careers.  Imagine what you'd do if you had all the money in the world. What would you spend your time doing? Would you spend your time traveling and writing about the experience? Would you spend your days cooking?

The sebum that clogs up your pores and can cause irritation in rosacea is an oil. The best substance for dissolving oils (and dirt, cell debris, dirt, bacteria, etc.) is another oil.  We are so used to thinking that oils are bad for the skin. This makes many people forget that the skin has natural oils to protect and moisturize it. As a result, we may use cleansers with (often) irritating chemicals. Choose your primary oil from a list of non-comedogenic oils. Non-comedogenic means that the pores won’t be blocked. Some of these oils are more expensive than others, and some may be easier to find than others.  The most non-comedogenic according to the American Academy of Dermatology) with a rating of 0 or 1 out of a possible 5 are:  Hemp seed oil (0) Mineral oil (0) Shea butter (0) Sunflower oil (0) Castor oil (1). Castor oil can be moisturizing for some people, but it can be drying for others. Make sure your skin reacts well to the oil cleanser that you choose. Test it on a small patch of skin first and wait a day. If your skin condition worsens, stop using this cleanser and try a different one. Avoid cleansers that might trigger allergic reactions. For example, if you have a nut allergy, don’t use hazelnut oil. For oil cleansing, pour a small amount of oil into the palm of your hand. Gently massage the oil onto your face for 2 minutes, using small, circular motions.  Use this method twice a day and after heavy sweating. You can add essential oils to your oil if you choose. Add 1 to 2 drops of essential oil for every 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of oil. Some scents to choose from include: Oat Chamomile Lavender Use a washcloth soaked in warm water and apply the washcloth to your face. Let it stay on your face for about 20 seconds. This helps the oil absorb into your skin. Use the warm, damp washcloth to slowly and gently wipe off the oil from your skin. Rinse the washcloth in warm water and repeat until you have wiped all the oil off your face. Use a cotton towel to gently dry your face. Do not rub your skin, since this...

The secret to getting a great pan-seared steak is having a hot pan and by only cooking as long as is necessary. The best strip steaks have a crisp, seared exterior that can only be achieved with a piping hot pan, so your first step is to set your pan on your stove and turn the burner to high heat. While you're waiting for your pan to heat up, you can remove your steaks from their packaging and start seasoning them. Here's an easy test to see if your pan is hot enough — wet your fingers in the sink and flick the water onto the pan. If the droplets immediately sizzle and evaporate or "dance" across the surface of the pan, it's ready! As your pan starts to warm, set your steaks on a clean cutting board or platter. Season each side with salt and pepper. The precise amount you use is up to you — some guides, for instance, recommend using a mixture of about 1/4 teaspoons pepper and 1 & 1/2 teaspoons salt for every two steaks. A good rule is to err on the side of using too little salt (after all, you can always add more when the steak is done).  At this point, you can also add any additional dry seasonings you want. Pre-packaged mixes like Johnny's, etc. are a good choice, as are your own concoctions (for instance, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic is one common combination). After seasoning your steaks, coat each with oil. This is important for getting a crispy sear — the oil essentially "fries" the outer layer of the steak. Using a pair of tongs, lay your steaks onto the hot pan. To avoid getting hit by hot juices, lay the steaks away from you, rather than towards you. They should immediately begin to sizzle and crackle — this is a good thing! Move the steaks an inch or so from their original location a few seconds after you add them to the pan to prevent them from sticking, then simply let them cook. Some cooking guides recommend letting your steaks warm to room temperature before adding them to a hot pan under the assumption that this helps them cook more evenly. Although letting your steaks warm for 20 to 30...

The seeds should have produced sprouts before repotting them or planting them. And to sprout, the seeds need to go through the process of germination. You can use natural or assisted germination to complete the process. Seedlings should begin to appear around springtime. If they have grown significantly, you can repot them or plant them outside. Keep in mind that seedlings are often targeted by weeds and animals, so it is typically better to protect them inside for about a year. Use a potting soil that release nutrients slowly. If you choose to protect the seedlings until they grow larger, keep the seedlings inside in a sunny area. Keep the seedling inside for about a year, until they reach 15 to 19 inches (38 to 48 cm) tall. Keep the soil damp during this time. You may need to water the soil daily if it does not stay damp. Because the seedlings have mostly or only grown indoors, slowly begin to expose them to the outside after a year. The best time to begin exposure is during early spring. Ideally, put the pot in a place with dappled sunlight. Start by putting the seedlings outside for 2 hours during the day. Then, increase the daily outside time by an hour each day. After a few days, permanently move the seedlings outside. If the tree won’t grow very large, it’s okay to keep it in a pot. For most trees, it will be necessary to plant them in the ground. Find a clear location with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole that is at least an inch deep, depending on the size of the seedlings. Plant the seedlings and cover the hole back up with soil. Plant the seedlings at least 3 feet (91 cm) apart if you are planting multiple trees. Rake the area so that it is clear before planting the seedlings. Trees take years to grow, and they will continue to grow in some way or another throughout their lifespans. Watch your tree carefully while it is a sapling. Keep it watered, and protect it from animals if necessary. You can put a mesh fence around the tree to protect it.

The selection committee should gather all of the nominations and review them. You can have the selection committee pick recipients, or you might want them to forward their choice to a senior manager for approval. Not every award requires a public banquet. Instead, you might give someone a reward on-the-spot when you see them give great effort. Ideally, the method of recognition should match the significance of the accomplishment the employee is being recognized for.  If you’re giving a small cash bonus, you can recognize the employee one-on-one. You can also publicize small awards in team meetings or through email. More significant accomplishments should be recognized across the company, either at a banquet or in company-wide communications. Always remember your employee’s preference as well. Someone who dreads getting up in front of people won’t appreciate a roomful of people clapping for them. You shouldn’t just hand someone a bonus for $100 and then get back to work. Instead, your recognition program needs to explain why the person is being recognized. Your employees will get as much satisfaction from hearing “good job” as they will from the reward itself. Tell stories that exemplify how the employee upholds your company's values to help infuse them into your company culture. This both honors the employee who is being awarded and shows other employees what types of behaviors you value in employees. Ask direct supervisors or department heads to present awards to their subordinates, even if they didn’t nominate the employee for the award. The supervisor should also have something nice to say in their own words. Employees don’t want someone from Human Resources reading a generic statement about their performance. When no employee meets your criteria, then you should choose not to give an award. You don’t want staff to think they just need to “wait their turn” before they are recognized with an award. If you choose not to give an award, then tell your staff the reasons why. At a staff meeting, you can say, “We...

The selection of lighting fixtures is of two primary types: decorative and functional. The design of these fixtures should complement the look and feel of your house and landscape while providing sufficient lighting for safety, security, and functionality.  When installing a wall lantern, size the fixture to the door and surrounding space. Wall lanterns should be mounted slightly above eye level at about 60" to 66" from the center of the fixture to the floor. Post-top lanterns can be selected to match the style of the wall lanterns. Large post top lanterns make a better impression when used in large open space. They spill light in all directions and can be a cause of light trespass (onto others' properties) and distracting glare for drivers. Many lighting designers forgo lantern style lights entirely and instead use lights with hoods (that shield the glare) and lights that are positioned within plant material so they are hidden completely. Add landscape lighting, deck lighting, and step lighting to not only bring out the beauty of the home at night, but also add extra security and safety.

The sender will need the name of your bank, as well as your account number and routing number, to transfer money directly to your bank. You should only give out this information if you are receiving money from a person you know and trust or from a legitimate, well-known company. You should be able to find your account and routing number either by calling your bank or by logging into your account on your bank’s website. For instance, if the name on your bank account is William H. Smith and your friend writes “Billy Smith” on the transfer form, you may have trouble receiving the transfer. Double check that the sender has used your full, correct name. If you are receiving money from someone in another country, you may need to give them your International Bank Account Number and/or your International Bank Identifier Code. Call your bank or check your bank’s website to find these numbers. In most cases, money sent directly to your bank account should transfer within 2-5 days. The sender should also have a receipt that says when the money will be available. Log in to your online account, call your bank, or visit your branch in person to see if the transfer has gone through. It should appear by no more than 5 days after it was sent, or by the date listed on your sender’s receipt. Your sender should be able to find a Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) on their receipt. You can use this number to track the transfer using the Western Union website or app.

The server should present the wine to you so you can see the label. Check to see that it's the right vintage and bottle that you ordered. If it is, the server will open it at your table and pour you a sample. If the wine isn't exactly what you ordered, tell your server. They'll return with the correct bottle or let you know if they don't actually have the bottle you ordered. Once the server pours a sample of the wine or brings your glass of wine, take a deep sniff of it. The wine should smell fragrant and delicious, not like wet newspaper or cardboard. Then, swirl the wine gently and take a sip. If the wine has corked, it will taste weak, dull, or astringent. If the wine was bottled with a screw top or synthetic cork, the wine can't become corked. If you don't think the wine is corked, you can tell the server that the wine is good to pour. Then, the server will pour wine for everyone who's going to share the bottle.  If you think the wine is corked, let the server know. They'll bring a different bottle for you to sample. You should only return the wine if it's corked, even if the flavor isn't quite to your liking. If you plan on ordering another glass or bottle, you can continue to drink the same wine or choose a new one. Discuss the next wine you want to try with the sommelier. For example, you might say, "I enjoyed this Pinot Noir, but I think now I'd like a wine with a bolder body and bigger finish." Let the server know if you'd like your wine chilled further if the temperature isn't to your liking. Don't be afraid to try new wines! You might find a wine that you really enjoy or you may drink one that you don't want to order in the future. Consider keeping a list of the wines you order and make notes about their flavor profiles so you can become an experienced wine drinker. Check your phone to see if you can download a wine tasting app. This can make it easier to track the wines you've tried.

The setting doesn't necessarily have to come first, but if you have a general idea of what you want your story to be, you also need a setting. Setting includes the location, the date, the time of year, the geography, and even the climate and mood.  Think about the mood you want to create for your story. The setting partially creates that mood for you. For instance, a murder-mystery set in 1920s Galveston, TX during an approaching hurricane is going to be very different from a murder-mystery set in Chicago in present day or Edinburgh in the 18th century. As another example, the Sherlock Holmes' stories take much of their darkness and mood from the time period (Victorian and Edwardian era) and the foggy London setting. The story arc is how the plot progresses throughout the novel. Typically, you go through 8 stages: stasis, trigger, the quest, surprise, critical choice, climax, reversal, and resolution.  Stasis is normal everyday life. You could start with the normal life of the detective, a witness, or whoever's point of view you're using. The trigger is the event that sets off the quest, which is often the murder in a murder mystery. The surprise is the twists and turns, the complications that keep the story going. In a murder mystery, that may be things like new evidence, new motives coming to light, or trouble finding a suspect. The critical choice is the main crux of the protagonist's story. It's where they must decide how they will act to complete the story, and it often involves choosing a hard path. It is a character-defining moment. This choice typically leads to the climax, the place where the action and tension comes to a head, such as the point where the detective is in the active process of capturing the suspect.

The severity of injuries from a fall is closely related to the speed of impact. This explains why a long fall is more dangerous than a short one. Slowing down your fall may not be possible from a two story window since it lasts only seconds, but if you find yourself falling from a higher distance, lie flat to increase your surface area and slow yourself down. If you lie flat to create resistance, make sure you position yourself to land feet first before you land. If you happen to have an option of what to land on, always opt for the softer option. Survivors have fallen into snow, trees, or something that absorbs your landing better than concrete. So if you’re falling on the edge of concrete and grass, try to land on the grass to minimize your impact. Staying calm and relaxed may be the last thing on your mind when you’re falling to the ground, but tensing your muscles up increases your chance of injury. When you remain relaxed, your muscles, joints, and ligaments move naturally and in an ideal way that helps you avoid serious damage.  One way to stay relatively calm is to focus on what your next steps are for surviving and preventing injury. This will keep you from panicking about all of the things that could happen to you.

The sex of a guinea fowl can be determined most reliably by its vocalizations. Guinea fowls do not begin to vocalize until they are about 8 weeks old. If you have young guinea fowls, known as keets, wait until they are around 2 months old before listening for their vocalizations. Female guinea fowls may not start vocalizing until much later in life, so you may have to wait even longer to determine the sex of your guinea fowls. Male guinea fowls make a 1-syllable call that sounds like ‘chek.’ The male’s vocalization will either be a chirp or a yelp repeated at varying intervals. The vocalization has also been compared to the sound of a machine gun. This is where things can get a little tricky, since female guinea fowls also make the 1-syllable ‘chek’ sound. However, females also make a 2-syllable call that can sound like a variety of words, like ‘buckwheat,’ ‘put-rock,’ or ‘qua-track.’ Typically, the first syllable will be short and the second syllable will be longer and rising in tone.

The sheet covering your mattress could be either a fitted sheet or a flat sheet that has already been folded into hospital corners (as per the “Folding Hospital Corners” method).  Note that the sheet will not hang down equally at the head and foot of your bed: it will be aligned with the head of your bed and it will hang down over the foot of your bed. The thicker your top blanket, the more difficult it may be to fold hospital corners with. If you really want to mimic military style, the standard blankets we see on top of military beds are not cushy quilts but thick, coarse wool blankets. Some people like to place the blanket 6 to 12 inches down from the top of the flat sheet (i.e. from the top of the bed); others like to line the blanket up perfectly with the flat sheet. You can experiment with what best suits your tastes. Unlike with regular hospital corners, you will not be folding the flat sheet separately from your top blanket; you will fold them simultaneously, so that they are folded together. Don’t tuck these in just yet, as you’ll want to work on the top of the bed before finalizing the folds by tucking in the sides. Exactly what you do here will depend on how you’ve aligned your flat sheet and blanket, but the end result will be similar no matter what: the sheet will sit folded neatly over top of the blanket. It should look sort of like a cuff on a shirt sleeve or pants. Now that you’ve made the appropriate folds at the top and bottom of the bed, you can tuck in the sides. Be sure to hold the sheet and blanket together as you tuck them underneath the mattress.

The should look like a piece of raised skin around the belly button. It may be limited to the area above or below the belly button. If you have this raised skin, you may be able to pierce it with minimal risk. You cannot pierce the actual skin of your outie. While you think you may have enough skin to pierce your outie, you need to confer with someone who does piercings professionally. Since they regularly do navel piercings, they’ll know if your outie can be safely pierced. Since the tissue of an outie belly button is different than the tissue of an innie, outie belly buttons are much more susceptible to infection. As a result, you should consult your doctor before getting a piercing. If you have any autoimmune disorder or conditions that make you more susceptible to infection, your doctor may advise against piercings.

The shy guy may not want to come out of his shell, and he may not share the same ideas of personal transformation that you do. Bringing a guy out of his shell is not an overnight process, but takes time. It’s not always as simple as being super kind or asking the right questions. You may need to help him build additional social skills, depending on his personal situation and experiences.  It is best to consider that not only is this an investment on your part, but the shy guy must also put in a fair amount of invested work on their own as well. The most you can realistically hope for is that you can slowly chip away the shell that the shy guy has encased himself in. Be understanding and practice patience and acceptance. Shy guys often have a hard time reaching out to make plans because it makes them feel pressure and puts them in a vulnerable position. Save him the stress and just make the plans yourself. Try to cater to his comfortability by suggesting interaction that’s less communicative early on, such as going to see a movie together. He's not going to open up to you overnight, so don’t get frustrated if progress seems slow. Rushing may only intimidate him, so as your relationship grows, suggest the next move, but try to keep things at his pace. Building trust and comfort takes time. If you really want to show that you care for him, make it clear that you’re okay with that. He may seem awkward around you at first. Be persistent and compassionate. Don’t let your pride get in the way of making the first move. Especially if he’s really interested in you, it may come as a great relief to a guy who's a bit reserved if you ask him out or tell him you have feelings for him first. He may have really wanted to tell you, but his shyness just kept him from putting himself in a such a vulnerable position.

The side basic step starts with the same basic prep step as the basic Cha Cha step. Stand with your feet together, then slide your left foot out to the side, transferring your weight there. Slide your right foot toward your left and then back, rocking back so it takes your weight, lifting your left foot in the process. Then rock back forward, letting your left foot take your weight again. Instead of bringing your right foot back to meet your left foot and returning to starting position, bring your right foot up to your left foot and then out to the side. Your right foot should be just wider than shoulder width. Transfer the weight of your body to your right foot, and lightly slide your left foot to meet your right. You should pop up your right foot as your left meets it. Once your feet have returned to starting position, transfer the weight of your body to your left foot and step out to the right again, taking the weight of your body. With your right foot still out slightly, step diagonally with your left foot, so your feet are closer than shoulder width apart but your left foot is in front of your right. Place your left foot on the ground, rocking forward so your right heel lifts up. Then rock back onto your right foot, returning your left foot to the starting position. Bearing your weight on your right foot, step to the left. Then lift your right foot off the ground so just the ball of your foot maintains contact. Then slide your right foot to your left so they’re together, taking the weight on your right foot. Then step to the left one more time. Transfer your weight to your left foot, and step back with your right. Once your right heel hits the floor, lift your left foot slightly so only your heel makes contact. As you move your right foot forward again, step out to the right and repeat the side step.

The side part should be above one of your eyebrows. You will start braiding from this part towards the opposite temple. This side braid works great for shorter hairstyles. Try to position the braid between your ear and side part. As you braid, try to keep the sections as tight as possible. Also, try to smooth the hairs down. This will give you a smoother, neater braid in the end. You can always muss it up later. If you are doing a Dutch or reverse French braid, remember to cross the outer sections under the middle sections instead of over. Start French braiding horizontally across the back of your head instead, until you reach the other side of your neck. At this point, you can tie the hair off with a hair tie. You can also continue braiding it standard fashion, and tie it off when you are 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) away from the ends. Not only will this help hide the hair tie, but it can help make your braid look more interesting. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Add a silk flower to your braid for a boho look. The bigger the flower, the better. Consider twisting the rest of the braid into a bun and securing it with bobby pins. You can then tuck an ornate hair comb into the bun. If you did a mini side braid, consider tying the end off with some leather lace and leaving the rest of your hair loose for a boho or elvish look.

The simplest cause of an itchy scalp is buildup of hair products and dead skin cells. Therefore, if you aren’t already doing so, begin by making sure you wash your hair at least every other day.  Use the pads of your fingers (the soft fleshy part of your finger tip) and gently massage the shampoo into your scalp. Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly with warm, running water. Make sure the water is not too warm though, as this could dry out your scalp even more. You can also use your fingers to “exfoliate” your scalp. When you are shampooing, reach your fingers all the way through your hair to your scalp and massage the skin. Make sure to do this all over your head, including the back. Don't scratch with your nails though, as this may worsen the irritation. There are several shampoos on the market that are specially formulated to help deal with some of the causes of an itchy scalp. These shampoos may include one or more of the following active ingredients: coal tar, pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid, sulfur, selenium sulfide, and/or ketoconazole. Follow the directions on the bottle carefully, and if it tells you to leave it on your scalp for 5 minutes, then be sure and do so. This will give the product time to work.  Remember that these shampoos will take time to become effective. Before giving up on a particular shampoo, give it a few weeks to really kick in. If it doesn’t work after that, try a shampoo with a different active ingredient, or visit your doctor. Don’t use a medicated shampoo every day, though. These shampoos tend to be very strong, so you only need to use them once or twice a week. For your other washings, you can use a gentle every-day shampoo. If you believe that the source of your itchy scalp happens to be the weather, or that the skin on your head is just a bit dried out, try using a good conditioner. Conditioner is meant to moisturize, so be sure to use it after shampooing. Don’t forget to rinse the conditioner from your hair thoroughly. Use your fingers to help make sure the water is able to...

The simplest method to try is rubbing your own neck. Massage the tense spot to relax the stressed muscles by gently kneading the sore area. Begin by applying gentle pressure to the ball.  Use the tips of your fingers to rub the stress ball using a tight circular motion. Repeat this motion for a minute or two to see if it provides any relief.  You may also simply rub back and forth.  If the massage feels painful, you're probably rubbing too hard. Start with a gentle touch, increasing pressure as needed. If this method helps, massage the area from one to five times a day. Each session should last for approximately five minutes, as you do not want to overdo it. You want to avoid putting extra stress on your muscles. Although many people find relief just by massaging the stress ball with their fingers, it's important to play around with different massage techniques to find what works for you. Many people find using a basic tennis ball to be beneficial.  To use the tennis ball technique, lie down on the floor and place the tennis ball beneath your neck, at the approximate location of the stress ball. You can also do this leaning against a wall. Adjust your body positioning until you feel a "good" pressure at the location of the knot. The tennis ball should not cause pain. Move your neck and body up and down and from side to side, allowing the tennis ball to roll over the stress knot. This helps to release tension from the muscle and loosen the knot. Make sure that your neck is a natural neutral position when using a tennis ball. If you find that your head is hanging down on the ball (which may further stress your muscles), simply place a small book on the floor and the ball on top of that. This brings the ball up to your neck instead of your neck arching or extending to reach the ball on the ground. If you find that a tennis ball is too soft, you can progress to a lacrosse ball, which is more firm and may be more beneficial to those with chronic stress balls or more muscle mass Many stores also sell self-massage...

The simplified version of the Widmark formula is: BAC = [Alcohol consumed in grams / (Body weight in grams x r)] x 100. In this formula, “r” is the gender constant: r = 0.55 for females and 0.68 for males. In order to calculate BAC using the Widmark formula, you will need to count how many drinks have been consumed in a given period. To be as precise as possible, the number of drinks counted should be based on a standard drink size and alcohol content, rather than the number of glasses, bottles, etc. consumed. This is because the volume and content of drinks vary widely. The standard drink size varies from country to country and from drink to drink. In the United States:  The standard drink size of an 80-proof version of a distilled spirit such as gin or whiskey is approximately 1.5 ounces. This is about forty percent alcohol. The standard drink size of a beer with a five percent volume of alcohol is twelve ounces. The standard drink size of a wine with a twelve percent volume of alcohol is five ounces. In the United States, a standard drink contains approximately fourteen grams of alcohol. Once you have the number of standard drinks consumed, multiply that number by 14 to derive the alcohol dose in grams. This will give you the alcohol dose—the amount of alcohol consumed.  You can also find the alcohol dose using the formula: (Volume of drinks) x (AC of drinks) x 0.789 = grams of alcohol consumed If your area has a different alcohol content in a standard drink, you will need to multiply the number of standard drinks consumed by that alcohol content in grams. The gender constant is 0.55 for females and 0.68 for males. If you know your body weight in pounds but not in grams, use one of the following formulas:  Body weight in pounds / 0.0022046 = body weight in grams  Body weight in pounds x 454 = body weight in grams A quick internet search will reveal numerous online calculators for converting pounds to grams. ). This step will give you a raw number based on the alcohol content in your body. Taking the raw...

The sinking brake pedal often does mean the brake lines need to be bled.  However, it is very important to confirm that the sinking pedal is not caused by something else.  Try this simple test when you are stopped and waiting at a red light.  With your foot, keep an even pressure on the brake pedal. Does the pedal sink lower, even a little bit? If so, then you should have your car's brake system inspected by an ASE Certified Master Auto Technician to confirm the root cause is not something else.  If the pedal holds constant pressure, then there is no air in the system. A sinking brake pedal could also be caused by other things that could be very dangerous.  For example, brake pedals can also sink if there is a hydraulic problem, like a failing master cylinder, a leaking rear wheel cylinder, a bad caliper or bad ABS.  So it is important to rule out these dangerous possibilities via professional inspection before proceeding. Cars with automatic transmissions should be in park and those with standard transmissions should be in first gear. The emergency (or parking) brake should be on at all times. Remove all four wheels. It's a fist size (or larger)  transparent container that is bolted to the firewall on the driver’s side of the car. It will be connected to an aluminum object the has metal tubes coming out of its sides. These metal lines are the brake lines that direct the hydraulic brake fluid to your individual wheels. There the brake fluid activates either the disc or drum brake components that stop your car. Fill the Master Cylinder with fresh, clean brake fluid, making sure that it's the proper type for your car. If you have questions, ask the parts person to look up your car's brake fluid when you purchase it.

The size and shape of your breasts may impact your bra size and influence which style is most flattering to your body. Breasts and bodies come in every shape and size. Instead of worrying that your breasts don't look like a Victoria Secret Model's, concentrate on dressing for your body and finding what looks best on you. Examine detailed fitting guides that recommend bras for many different shapes and types of breasts. They make suggestions for women with prominent breast bones, large areolas, distended stomachs, and more. Is this an everyday bra to wear under a t-shirt? Do you wear a lot of low-cut shirts or are you planning to wear a backless dress? Maybe you can only afford one bra and need something with versatility? There are tons of possibilities for different styles, cuts, and fits.  Check out a guide to the pros and cons of different bra styles, and on which bodies and breast shapes they work best. A seamless bra can be a great everyday bra to wear under T-shirt or with other form-fitting clothes, as it will be almost invisible underneath. If your breasts bounce or move too much during activity, the supportive ligaments begin to break down. Bouncing can also become very painful, and the discomfort may eventually prevent you from participating in activities.  Check the impact or intensity level when shopping for a sports bra. A low-impact bra works great for yoga or hiking. A high-impact bra is necessary for activities like running.  Smaller-breasted women are usually comfortable in compression bras (that give the appearance of a "unibreast") and look like a cropped tank top. For larger-breasted women, an bra that cups and encapsulates each breast may be more comfortable and inhibit bouncing. These bras have wide straps and clasps.  You may also find a bra that combines compression and encapsulation, which will give you the best support overall.

The size of a first aid kit depends on how it is being used, and how many people will use it. In general, if your fist aid is coming with you on a camping excursion it should be big enough to stock adequate supplies for everyone in attendance but also lightweight and portable.  If you're backpacking alone or with one or two other people, keep it on the smaller side as the less items in your backpack the better. Added weight can cause back strain and fatigue that can interfere with your journey. If you're camping with a big group, family sized first aid kits are available online and at camping and department stores. If you're using an RV or a car camper, you should consider investing in a car emergency kit, sold online or in camping stores, that includes car essentials like cable ties, bungee cords, and spark plugs in the event of an automobile emergency. First aid kits come in all shapes and sizes, and are built from a variety of materials. While some people use their backpacks/totebags or cardboard boxes as first-aid kits, for camping you will need a waterproof container that seals shut. Go for materials like plastic, metal, and tin. Remember, size matters. Base what you use as a container on the number of fellow travelers and the length of your trip. If you're comfortable crafting a kit yourself, possible containers include:  Lunch boxes, food tins, tackle boxes, and other food storage containers, reusable or disposable. Very helpful are First Aid boxes from Stock of the Army Medical Corps. Newer versions are plastic-made and have a tightening gasket plus the Red Cross badge outside. A zipper top clear plastic bag. Clean plastic food containers. If you're not into DIY creations, purchase a first aid kit. Costs vary depending on size, whether the kit is stocked, and its material.  You can find first aid kits as many mass merchandise retailers, such as drug stores, grocery stores, discount stores, and convenience stores. Speciality retailers, such as outdoor and camping stores, can provide first aid kits that...

The size of the bottles is up to you, but don't buy bottles bigger than 500 millilitres (17  fl oz) in size. The larger the bottle, the more tricky it becomes to attach a new label. Tear off the labels on the water bottles using your hands or a pair of scissors. The old labels were stuck to the bottle using glue and will probably leave behind a sticky residue. After you've removed the old labels, rub the sticky area with a damp cloth until the residue is completely removed from the plastic. If the residue is difficult to remove with the cloth, use the rougher side of a dish sponge to scrub the residue. Place the double-sided tape over one side of your label, then position that side of the label on your bottle. Push down on the double-sided tape to stick it to the bottle. Wrap the rest of the label around the bottle and attach the other end of the label to the double-sided tape at the end.  Trim away any excess paper with scissors. If you need to, use double-sided tape to secure the label to the bottle where the two ends meet.

The size of your creature is a large part of its overall look. Whether your creature is large or small will be largely based on how you want others to perceive the creature. It can also correlate to the attributes you chose for your creature. For example:  If you envision your creature to be a trickster or as being very sneaky, you might want to make it smaller in stature, like a leprechaun or an elf. If your creature has an attribute like supernatural strength, you may want it to be large in size to show off this attribute. Give your creature a surprising attribute. For example, a small creature with super strength could be surprising and advantageous. Many mythological creatures take on aspects of multiple normal animals, and thus become a more formidable composite creature. For example, the majestic hippogriff has the front half of a gryphon and the back half of a horse. Centaurs have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.  Think about the traits of your creature. If your creature is strong and a fighter, consider giving it a physical trait from a strong creature like an eagle, snake, or alligator. If your mythological creature has wings, decide what sort of wings you want them to be. Do you want feathered wings, bat-like wings, wings with scales, or insect wings? Do you want your creature to have scales, smooth skin, fur, or feathers on its body? Once you have determined the body type of your creature, you want to assign it a coloring. This might be a singular color or multiple colors. This coloring might be glossy or matte.  Take the function of your creature into account. For example, if you want your creature to be camouflaged in its environment, you may want to give it a neutral color. A vibrant coloring, on the other hand, can show off its attributes and make your creature stand out. For example, the phoenix, also known as the firebird, has a bright orange and red coloring, which matches its name and abilities. As well as creating the look for your mythological creature, you can...

The size should be right for you and it is a good idea to try it before you buy it. If it's a backpack, try it on and check the comfort level. If it's a carrying style of bag, carry it around and get a feel for the handle, weight, and balance of the bag. Ask the retailer if it's okay to stuff the bag for trying it so that you get an idea of what it feels like when full (just use items from the back-to-school section to fill it, or stuff in a few other bags from nearby). Walk around a bit and see how the bag performs for you. Check the stitching or seals. Does the bag look like it can last the next year or does it look like it's about to fall apart with the first fill of books and clothes? Remove all the contents and give the bag a wipe down inside and out. If it is machine washable, give it a spin and air dry. If not, wiping and vacuuming should do the trick. Start with an empty, clean bag.  Take everything out of your school bag, even if you know that you need it. Make sure all of your pockets are empty too. Make sure all the rubbish such as used tissues, rubbish wrappers, etc., is put in the bin.

The skate boot must also prevent most lateral movement. Keep in mind that it should still allow flexing and pointing of the foot as well as bend in the ankle. The front of the boot should be roomy enough so that you can wiggle your toes but should still be snug around the instep and the heel. Blades come in many varieties:  Dance blades are shorter on the heel end. Advanced freestyle blades have large, intricate, intense picks. Blades are screwed on, so make sure that you check the screws are securely intact. The blades must sit securely under the physical center of the boot.  This is very important because it ensures that the blades will run true across the ice without pulling. Check out the consequences of different fitting:  Blades set too far in - the feet will fall outward Blades set too far out - the feet will fall inward Blades correctly centered - feet stand upright naturally It is very important that the blades are sharpened. Have them sharpened by someone who specialized in figure skating, not hockey. You will know when to have them sharpened when they start feeling 'slippery' on the ice or you fall out of turns. When you first purchase your skates, the shop will either apply a waterproof coat for you or they will tell you to do it yourself. This will keep the sole waterproofed so that it doesn't absorb the water and break down and rot. While walking around the rink, it is essential to always wear guards. They come in many different colors and combinations to suit your personality and they protect the blades from undue pressure. They are usually made from plastic. As soon as you step off the ice to take off your skates, use an old towel to wipe the water from the boots and blades. Put a "soaker" over the blade to protect it. This will ensure that your skates last.

The skin of the fruit is not edible, but it is still important to wash the surface before you eat it. If the outside of the fruit is contaminated with bacteria or chemicals, you might infect the inside of the fruit when you slice it before washing. Although papayas can be eaten at room temperature, the flavor is best when served cold. Place a whole or halved papaya into the fridge to prepare it. You can freeze the papaya to cool it more quickly, but bear in mind that you may need to thaw it slightly before using it. When you are ready to make your milkshake, remove the papaya from the fridge. You should be able to see into the seed cavity in the center of the fruit. If you don't have access to the seed cavity, slice off a bit more. Hold the papaya over a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop out the black, round seeds and the sticky membrane that holds them in place. Stand the papaya on the end, using the side that you sliced as the base. Slowly slice off the peel in thin, downward slices—and be thorough. Try to leave a small cap of peel at the top of the fruit so that you can hold the fruit without touching the inside. Lay the papaya back on its side and cut away any remaining peel. Chop off the top of the papaya around the stem. Slice the papaya in half, lengthwise. Flip each half of the papaya over so that you can see the seed cavity. Use your spoon to scoop out any remaining seeds. Scrape away any white fibers for a smoother shake, although this is not strictly necessary. The chunks do not need to be regular or equally-sized. The smaller the bits, the smoother your milkshake will be—but do not feel obliged to over-dice. As long as the blades of the blender can bite into the papaya and process it into the other ingredients, your milkshake should turn out fine.

The skin on your face can start to look pale and saggy when you get dehydrated, so it’s important to drink a lot of water every day. While the exact amount of water you should drink will vary based on your activity level, aim to drink about 6-8 glasses of fluids a day.  One easy way to drink more water is to carry a refillable water bottle with you. That way, you can take a sip whenever you start to feel thirsty! If you don’t like plain water, try adding fresh fruits, like strawberries, lemons, or blueberries, to infuse the water with flavor. Getting the right vitamins and nutrients will leave your skin healthy and glowing. To ensure you’re getting everything you need, try to incorporate healthy foods like fresh fruits, leafy greens, lean proteins, and whole grains into your diet.  For instance, for lunch you might have tuna fish over fresh greens, a slice of whole-grain bread, and an orange. For dinner, try a chicken or tofu stir-fry with a variety of tasty veggies. Taking a fish oil supplement each day may also improve the look of your skin. Regular exercise will help improve your circulation, which will give your skin a healthy, rosy glow. In addition, exercise can help your body flush out toxins, so you may be less likely to have acne or blocked pores. Try to find an exercise you enjoy so you’ll be consistent at it. For instance, you might find you’re more likely to exercise if you go jogging, biking, or swimming, or you may prefer playing a sport. When you’re tired, it shows on your face, from baggy circles under your eyes to a dull complexion. Try to go to bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time each morning. That way, you’ll look your best every day.  If you’re having trouble sleeping, turn down your thermostat or turn on a fan. The cool air may help you get to sleep faster. You need 9-11 hours of sleep if you're between the ages of 6 and 13, 8-10 hours a night if you're between 14 and 17, and 7-9 hours if you're age 18 or older. If you smoke, it can be really hard to quit, but...

The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating a board game. Consider how many players you want to have, what the objective and rules will be, and how players can win the game. And feel free to get creative with decorating the board and game pieces themselves.  If you need some inspiration, incorporate elements from your favorite board games. For example, if you love Monopoly, include a buying and selling element in your own game. Use any materials you’d like to construct the physical game. The board could be made of cardboard, wood, or even fabric, for example. You can also repurpose an old board game. Cover the board with paper and decorate it yourself and use the pawns for your new game, too. Getting your guests engaged in a game is a great way to fill any potential downtime during a party. Think about the demographic of your guests. If they’re a range of ages and interests, create a game that everyone can play and that doesn’t require a specific skill or athletic ability, for instance.  Match the game to the theme of the party. For example, if it’s an undersea party, make a play on “pin the tail on the donkey” with “pin the fin on the mermaid” instead. If your guests enjoy alcoholic beverages, consider starting a drinking game. For instance, have everyone try to balance a spoon on their nose. Whenever your spoon drops, you have to take a drink. Not only will a fun car game help pass the time on a 10-hour trip if you’re the passenger, it will also help keep you awake if you’re the driver. Come up with an activity that either doesn’t use any props or that involves the sights and scenery you’re passing, so even the driver can play along.  For example, look for every letter in the alphabet on signs as you drive by. Start with the “A” you saw on the Taco Bell sign, then the “B” on “Exit 4B,” and so on. Avoid games where you have to write or read or that take up a lot of space. Those are difficult to play in the car. Card games are a great, on-the-go alternative to bulky board games. Come up with one that just...

The slightest bit of dirt or oil on your hands can discolor or damage the pages and binding. Work up a good lather with the soap. Focus on your fingertips and the palms of your hands. Rub your hands together long enough to sing the “Happy Birthday” song. Place your index finger and thumb on either side of the top of the spine. Then, pull it toward you. Avoid pulling on the top edge of the spine with your index finger. You could end up tearing the spine. Avoid marking the pages or binding with ink, marker, or highlighter. Don't even make light pencil marks. You can unintentionally damage the pages when you erase. It could fall into the water and be completely ruined. If you need something to read near the pool or in a boat, read a magazine or newspaper that you plan to recycle. If you feel the urge to read something while in the bath, finish up and dry off completely before picking up your book. Stains and spills are difficult to remove. They can obscure the text and make the pages difficult to read. Keep the book away from your eating and drinking space during mealtime. Forcing an open book to lie flat can damage the spine and cause pages to fall out. If a book is old or tightly bound, avoid cracking the spine at all. When you're scanning or photocopying pages, don't press on the spine. If the book is a paperback, don't bend the front or back covers. Read your book on a flat surface whenever possible. Otherwise, position your thumb on the bottom of one page and your pinky on the bottom of the other to keep the book open. Rain and direct sunlight can damage your book. Even if you only get up for a few minutes and intend to go back outside immediately, take your book with you. Your plans could change or you could forget about your book. Pens and pencils can leave indentations on book covers. If you press too hard, they can tear through the paper and mark up the book. Lean on a table or desk.

The sling, cast, or tape should help you rest the arm for the first few days. However, make sure you aren't doing things that cause pain or discomfort in your arm. You risk re-injuring your elbow if you do too much. Ice can help with swelling and pain. You can apply ice 3 to 4 times a day. Don't keep it on longer than 20 minutes. Also, make sure to wrap the ice in cloth. Putting ice directly on your skin can cause damage. Wrapping your arm in an elastic bandage can help keep swelling down. In addition, it can reduce pain. An elastic bandage will likely only work in conjunction with a sling, as a cast or tape will apply their own compression. When your elbow is below your heart, gravity encourages more blood flow to the area. When your elbow is injured, that can lead to increased swelling. To help prevent this issue, rest your elbow on pillows so that it's above your heart. Elevate your elbow as often as you can, particularly when you're asleep. In some cases, you may need to have surgery to repair the damage done to your elbow. However, in most cases, the doctor will only perform surgery if you also have a severe strain in the muscle rather than just a sprain in the ligament. The doctor may also suggest surgery for a torn articular capsule. In some cases, physical therapy may be appropriate in helping you heal from this injury. Your doctor is the best person to make this decision. A physical therapist can teach you exercises to help strengthen your elbow, for instance.

The slope or "rise over run" is a single number that tells you how steep the line is. This type of problem also gives you the (x,y) coordinate of one point along the graph. Skip to the other methods below if you don't have both these pieces of information.  Example 1: A straight line with slope 2 contains the point (-3,4). Find the y-intercept of this line using the steps below. Any straight line can be written as an equation in the form y = mx + b. When the equation is in this form, the variable m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Write the slope-intercept equation, but instead of m, use the slope of your line.  Example 1 (cont.): y = mx + bm = slope = 2y = 2x + b Any time you have the coordinates of a single point on your line, you can substitute those x and y coordinates for the x and y in your line equation. Do this for the equation you've been working on.  Example 1 (cont.): The point (3,4) is on this line. At this point, x = 3 and y = 4.Substitute these values into y = 2x +b:4 = 2(3) + b Remember, b is the y-intercept of the line. Now that b is the only variable in the equation, rearrange to solve for this variable and find the answer.  Example 1 (cont.): 4 = 2(3) + b4 = 6 + b4 - 6 = b-2 = bThe y-intercept of this line is -2. The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects with the y-axis. Since the y-axis is located at x = 0, the x coordinate of the y-intercept is always 0.  Example 1 (cont.): The y-intercept is at y = -2, so the coordinate point is (0, -2).

The snake will have a handle on 1 end and a corkscrew on the other end. The corkscrew end is the part that goes in the toilet. Lower it into the exit hole, pushing it as far as it will go.  Any type of plumbing snake works, but the best type to get is an auger. It is designed for toilets and doesn’t scratch porcelain. You can buy plumbing snakes at most hardware or general stores. Hold the snake steady with 1 hand. Use your other hand to spin the auger’s handle clockwise. This extends the auger’s wire end so it either breaks the clog or latches onto it. Crank the handle until you cannot extend the snake any further. If your snake doesn’t have a crank, rotate it by hand to push it into the clog. If the clog was caused by a cloth, toy, or another object, the snake may drag it out the pipe. It may also bring back some waste or toilet paper if those were responsible for the clog. At least you can look at the end of the wire to see if it made contact with the clog. If the wire is clean and empty, it may not have reached the clog. Lower it back into the hole slowly to make sure it goes down the drain. Move the wire end of the snake to your sink. Turn on the hot water to rinse the snake and wash it off with disinfecting soap. Finish drying it off with a paper towel. Put your plunger over the toilet’s drainage exit. If there is no water in the toilet, you will need to flush the toilet or open the flapper to add some. Make sure the plunger fits over the whole, creating a good seal before you begin using it.  The plunger should be able to force water down the pipe, lowering the water level in the bowl as it breaks up any clogs still in the pipe. If the water completely drains from the bowl, plunging is optional. However, plunging 2 to 5 times is recommended to force out any clogging material still lingering in the pipes. Give the toilet a good flush to make sure it works correctly. You may need to do this a couple of times before the water drains normally. Any remaining material from the clog will likely be swept away...

The software tools you need to test for network and internet latency can be found within the Network Utility application on your Mac OSX machine.  Open Finder and navigate to Applications. Navigate to the Utilities folder. Locate Network Utility and click on the application icon to open the application. The network utility will allow you to test connectivity across your ethernet (wired) connection, Airport (wireless) connection, Firewall or Bluetooth connection.  On the Info Tab, select your connection from the network interface drop down menu. Verify that you have selected the active connection.  If the connection is active you will see information in the hardware address, IP address, and Link Speed fields, additionally the Link Status field will say “Active”. (An inactive connection will only have information in the hardware address field, and the Link Status field will say “Inactive”.) The Network Utility Ping test will allow you to enter the address of a site you wish to Ping and the number of times you wish to Ping it. Normal latency varies by the type of connection from 5 - 40ms for cable modem, 10 - 70ms for DSL, 100 to 220ms for dial-up and 200 - 600 for cellular. The distance to the remote server also adds to latency, you can estimate an additional 1ms in latency for every 60 miles (100km) the data travels.  Select the Ping tab within the Network Utility menu. Enter the IP address or URL of the site you wish to Ping.  You may want to start with the URL of your internet service provider and proceed to other sites you commonly access. Enter the number of times to Ping the site (default is 10). Click the Ping Button. View the results.  As the test pings the remote address, it will report back the results, the final number after the “time = “ is the time it took, in milliseconds, for the packet to travel to the remote site and back to your computer. The traceroute test will show the path that data travels from your computer to the remote server and any delay in that path.  This can be helpful in...

The sooner the child is identified as hard of hearing, the sooner proactive measures can be taken to ensure proper learning and social development take place.  With infants and small children in particular, a “habilitative” instead of “rehabilitative” approach can then be taken — supporting and teaching them in manners consistent with their hearing disability right from the start.  Ensure that children receive regular medical checkups from birth; disabilities may be detected by medical professionals before they are suspected by families. Watch for signs of possible hearing disability in children, which may include a lack of responsiveness, especially when facing away; trouble following directions; noticeable hearing difficulties when there is background noise; and a range of other possible behaviors.  If concerned, talk to an audiologist or physician. Parents in particular can have difficulty accepting or dealing with a diagnosis.  Life with a hard of hearing child will certainly be different, but always remember that they are a child first and foremost.  No level of deafness need limit or prevent a child from developing into a happy, healthy, smart, sociable, complete person.  The sooner you accept the reality with honesty and an open mind, the sooner you can begin developing the methods of support that are best suited to each unique hard of hearing child. Especially when the hearing disability develops in children beyond the toddler stage, they may need help accepting and dealing with the changes.  Seek out advice and help from professionals as well as others facing similar circumstances. Every parent of multiple children without hearing impairments realizes that there is no “one size fits all” approach to raising them, and the same is true with hard of hearing children. If you are raising or working with multiple deaf or hard of hearing children, you will quickly discover that each one requires an individualized approach in order to achieve their full potential. Use the recommendations for dealing with...

The sooner you tell a guy you're not interested, the better. If you sense a guy is interested in you, address as soon as possible. Letting it linger will only strengthen the guy's feelings, making the inevitable conversation more difficult. Some people prefer to simply gradually cut off contact from a guy. You may slowly stop returning texts and phone calls and hope the guy takes the hint. If you only met the guy recently, and only had a few dates, this technique is usually appropriate. However, when dealing with a friend who likes you, a more direct confrontation is important. If you know the guy, or if he's part of your social circle, do not avoid the situation. If you know he has feelings for you, simply avoiding him can only last for so long. It's best to address the situation rather than avoiding it altogether.

The soup spoon is the largest one at your place setting.  In some restaurants, a soup spoon will be brought out to you along with your soup. Use the soup spoon and not a smaller one. Using a smaller spoon increases the chance that you will spill soup on yourself. In British and American dinner culture, soup spoons are placed at the far right of your dinner setup. There are occasionally exceptions to this depending on the culture. Italy's dinner etiquette dictates whatever utensil you are supposed to use first should be set the furthest away from your plate. Do not blow on your soup to cool it down. Blowing on your soup can make you seem impatient and it can also cause you to splatter soup on the person sitting across from you. If your soup is too hot to eat, then put down your soup spoon and wait until it is cool enough to eat. Enjoy the conversation of your dining companions and then check the soup again after a few minutes. While you may naturally want to spoon your soup towards you, this may increase the chances that you will drip soup on yourself. Instead, spoon the soup towards the back of your bowl and then lift the spoon up towards your mouth. This will give any excess soup on the spoon a chance to drip back into the bowl. When the soup is getting low in your bowl, then you can tip your bowl away from you slightly to get the last bit of soup at the bottom of the dish. Your spoon has a tapered end, but sipping from this part of the spoon increases your chance of spilling soup on yourself. Sip your soup from the wide edge on the side of the spoon instead. Never slurp your soup if you are in a restaurant in the west, such as somewhere in Europe or the United States. This is considered rude by many people in western cultures. Try to eat your soup as silently as possible. After you have finished eating your soup, put your spoon on the plate underneath your soup bowl. If there is not a plate under your soup bowl, then place your spoon in the soup bowl. Do not place the used soup spoon on your napkin or on the table.

The staph bacteria that causes boils can be spread by sharing personal items such as razors. Each person in your household who needs one should have their own razor. Shaving is a big cause of ingrown hairs, which can end up becoming infected and leading to boil formation. Using shaving gel on wet skin will help lubricate the razor’s movement so that it doesn’t snag on your hairs and force them back into the skin. Rinse your razor frequently as you shave. Replace disposable razors frequently, and keep other razors sharpened. Sharp razors mean you have to apply less pressure to the skin to cut the hair, which reduces the likelihood of creating cuts and ingrown hairs. ” You may have been taught to shave in the opposite direction that your hair is growing, but that can cause ingrown hairs and lead to boils. Shave in the same direction as your hair grows. This can be a little difficult to determine, especially if you have curly hair. In general, shave your legs in a downward motion. Run your hands along your skin to help you determine what direction your hair is growing. Studies have shown serious infections of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in women who shaved their pubic hair. “Cosmetic body shaving” for men can also cause MRSA infections. In general, it’s best to avoid shaving these sensitive areas. Shaving your genitals leaves your skin with small micro-wounds, through which the staph bacteria can enter and cause infection and boils. Because the area is usually sweatier than other areas of your body, the likelihood of boils developing is also higher. If you notice signs of inflammation or you see a boil, do not shave that area. You could end up spreading the bacteria and infection to other parts of your body.

The steps to do this vary by Android:  If you're using a Samsung Galaxy, you can usually do this by pressing the Recent Apps button to the left of your Home button at the bottom of the screen. If your Android has a button with a square (or overlapping squares) at the bottom of the screen, tapping it should bring up your recent apps. If neither of these options work, try swiping up from the bottom of the home screen (but not so far that the app drawer opens). You can move to the next step once the app you want to close is at the center of the screen. Depending on your Android, you may also be able to close apps by tapping the X at the top-right corner. You can tap Close All on some Androids to close all open apps at once.

The stretching is necessary so the fence doesn't sag. Thread the fence puller's bar into an unattached section of mesh, a short distance from the far end post.  Attach the fence puller's yoke to the pull bar and connect the other end of the puller to the far end post. Stretch the mesh with the fence puller until the mesh loops move less than a quarter-inch when squeezed by hand. If the mesh gets pulled out of shape during the tightening process, pull on it to reshape it. Run a second tension bar through the end of the mesh near the fence puller. This will permit attaching the stretched mesh to the far end post's tension bands.Thread the fence puller's bar into an unattached section of mesh, a short distance from the far end post. Terminate the mesh with a tension bar on the far end post's tension bands. Remove any new excess produced by stretching. Space your ties 24 inches (61.0 cm) apart along the top rail and 12 inches (30.5 cm) apart on each line post. Thread tension wire through the bottom mesh loops. Tighten the tension wire around the end posts. Draw the wire tight and wrap it around itself next to the posts. Adding tension wire prevents animals from pushing in under the fence.
