While every region of the United States speaks differently, there is a stereotypical form of American English that serves as a solid baseline for American dialects. Generally speaking, use hard vowels and R-sounds by sounding them out more thoroughly. Other forms of English (like British, Irish, and Australian English) tend to blend vowels and R-sounds, while General American English tends to over-enunciate them.  Including a harder R-sound makes words like “card” sound like “kaard” instead “cawd.” Another example would be “other,” which might sound like “oth-a” in British English, but sounds like “uh-ther” in American English. Opting for hard vowels instead of soft vowels makes words like “cut” sound like “khut” in American English, while it might sound like “khat” in British English. While there are several versions of a Southern accent, you can create a general Southern accent by swapping vowel sounds. Turn O-sounds into I-sounds and I-sounds into O-sounds. I-sounds are often drawn out to sound like two E’s in words like “bill,” which makes it sound like “bee-hill.” The reverse is also true: words like “pen” sound like “pin.”  Other examples include “feel” sounding like “fill,” and “think” sounding like “thenk.” Note that, in each example, the E, and the I-sounds are swapped. Swapping the O and I makes words like “hot” sound like “hight,” and words like “like” sound like “lok.” While New York, Boston, and Philadelphia all have unique accents, they all tend to replace A-sounds and O-sounds with “aw” or “uh.” Use the roof of your mouth more than you usually do and use “aw” to replace soft-A sounds and O-sounds for a Northeastern accent. This makes words like “call” and “talk” sound like “kawl” and “tawk,” and words like “off” and “love” sound like “awf” and “lawve.” While the Midwest has a variety of accents, most of them replace short O-sounds with short A-sounds. Play with O-sounds to make them shorter or longer to sound like you’re from the Midwest. The manipulation of O-sounds makes words like “hot”...

While extroverts are primarily concerned with what's going on outside themselves, introverts are often preoccupied with their inner world. One way to shift focus is by keeping a journal; commit to a daily writing practice.  Ask yourself questions like:  What did I feel?  Why? What did I learn today?  Who did I learn from? What ideas arrived?  Who did I think about today? How was today different than yesterday? Than last week? Than last year? What can I be grateful for?  Who in my world seems lonely? Why? Imagination and ideas develop from observation of the exterior world. The more you observe outside you, the more you take notice and the more connections you can make from concepts that may not naturally fit together.  When you're by yourself, what do you notice?  What impressions does the world make on you? Creativity could be seen as 'self-absorbed', but a tremendous external focus is involved. Write fictional short stories Create works of art - painting, sculpture, sketching, etc. Use an art journal Write songs Write poetry Such activities will cultivate patience and possibly relieve stress, as well as boredom, during times when you have to be alone. Here are some ideas:  Reading  Knitting, crochet  Programming  Listening to music by yourself Practicing an instrument Taking a solitary walk or hike Whether that means relating to a higher power, meditating or just taking time out of your day to learn something new, any shift or increase in perspective will nurture your introverted side.  Practicing mindfulness and things like Zen driving will also help. Contemplating the mysteries of science (the universe, quantum theory) can also be an intensely introspective experience. . Sometimes solitude and looking inward can seem "boring" to an extrovert, since you're used to drawing energy from external stimuli. Think of learning how to embrace solitude similar to starting a new sport, one that you're not already naturally talented in. At first it's awkward and repetitive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll...

While fertilizers affect the nutrients in the soil, amendments improve aspects of the soil’s physical condition, including its pH level. If your soil is typically acidic, consider working some lime into it a few months before planting, then conducting a second pH test to ensure you’re in the desired range. If your soil is too alkaline, use peat moss or garden sulfur. Mix compost into your soil and remove any rocks and separate any large chunks in the dirt.  Fertilizers include fishmeal, chicken manure, or a pre-mixed fertilizer available for purchase at a local gardening center. Hand pick any weeds that may be present to prevent them from overrunning your pepper patch.

While figuring out what you want to do each day might sound relatively straightforward, this could actually be the most difficult and essential step in learning how to keep a daily schedule. It’s not always easy to figure out your goals and to achieve them. At the same time, what you want to do in the moment may not align with your long-term goals. It’s best to balance these out as much as possible, as opposed to only focusing on one or the other.   Set your long-term goals. Do you have a particular job or career you’d like to pursue? Are there certain people you know who you’d like to become better friends with? Maybe you want to make a sports team at your school.  Whatever your goals might be, getting them down on paper can make them seem more concrete than if they remain mere images inside your own head. Make a list of incremental things you can do to start achieving these goals. Plan time every day to do these activities. It is useful to get advice from others when figuring out your goals. But it’s important to recognize the goals that are actually relevant to your own desires. Your daily schedule may still have obligations that aren’t aligned with your own goals.  For example, does your parent want you to become something specific, like a lawyer or a doctor? While such wishes are often associated with parents’ desires for their children to be happy and successful, this career path may not make the child happy and fulfilled. Talking to them about how their desires for you might stifle your independence can be a good first step to becoming more comfortable figuring these things out for yourself. The worst thing you can do is go through life doing what others want you to do and never figuring out what will truly make you happy. When you determine your own long-term goals, figure out how these fit with the expectations that other people have for you. You may not be able to completely avoid your obligations and other people’s expectations. But you can start to schedule your time to focus more diligently on...

While food is a necessity, it's also a problem area for over-spenders. Although cheap food is often considered unhealthy, there are plenty of ways to pay less without sacrificing nutrition.  Many Americans overspend by eating out often, especially when it comes to lunches at work. If you resolve to prepare a majority of your meals at home, you will be able to save quite a bit of money each month. Shop sales. Instead of sticking by a brand or making a traditional shopping list, buy items as they go on sale for the best deals. While the savings of buying sales items in bulk may be tempting, only purchase what you can safely store or consume quickly. Always pick the item with the lowest cost per unit. While many people assume the biggest version of an item will be the best value, that is often not the case. If you don't want to do the math yourself, many grocery stores will even list the cost per unit next to the item. Many people spend a large portion of their incomes on entertainment. Luckily, these costs are the ones we have the most control over and thus the simplest to cut back on. It can be easy to be peer pressured into unnecessary spending if your social group spends its time at expensive bars and other venues. Instead of dropping your friends, start suggesting or planning lower cost get-togethers. Have a movie night at your house instead of the theater. Host a casual potluck instead of catching up at an expensive restaurant. Go to a public park instead of maintaining an expensive gym membership. Cancel anything you don't use enough to be worth the cost. In the age of high speed Internet, an easy thing for most people to eliminate is cable television. Video game subscriptions, beauty boxes, and magazines are other expenses that may seem small but add up over time. If you use these services regularly, downgrading may still be an option. Do you pay for a movie rental service that includes both online streaming and physical discs but find yourself exclusively streaming content? Switch to a cheaper plan...

While formal education is never required for art, it will help you learn the basic illustration techniques like shading, adding texture, and composition. Sign up for a drawing or illustration class at your local community center or find a college that offers classes. Research different courses that are provided and choose one that interests you.  Even if you've been drawing independently for years, taking a class may teach you something new and will surround you with other illustrators that you can give you feedback and tips. Things to consider when looking for classes include the class schedule and the cost of the courses. In addition to these basic techniques that every illustrator should have, there are also more advanced techniques used by many illustrators that include etching, stipple, and crosshatching. Doodling or drawing images to take notes in class can help hone your skills, however, dedicated and concentrated practice enables you to make vast improvements in your technique. Set aside extra time each day to sit down and seriously draw something in your newly developed style. Pinpoint areas that you are weak in and deliberately practice drawing things you have difficulty illustrating.  For instance, if you are great at drawing faces but bad at anatomy, take extra time to draw the human body until you become more proficient. Make sure that you're in an environment that you feel comfortable so that you can get the most out of your practice. Even though your style is unique to you, it's important that you don't let your ego get in the way of actually improving. Though art is all subjective, there are things that you can do to improve your technique regardless of your experience. Have open and honest conversations about your drawings and take the advice if you feel it is valid.  Many art classes will have critiques where other artists will comment on your work and talk about how you can improve. Don't let a suggestion get you down. Instead of being upset, examine what's being said and consider that it...

While goats can still thrive on substitute colostrum, natural is usually best. A mother's milk has vital nutrients for survival, so if you can get your goat natural colostrum, go this route.  Allow your goat to suckle from its mother for the first 24 hours. If the goat has been abandoned by its mother, provide colostrum from another goat who has recently given birth. Goats need to bottle feed if they're not being fed by a mother. It's normal for a goat to take a few days to take to the bottle. However, if it's been more than a few days and a goat is not feeding regularly, consult a veterinarian. You can find a livestock vet online or in your local yellow pages. Ask something like, "Is there anything I can do to get my goat to take to its bottle?" Weigh your goat regularly and adjust its feeding by weight, using the same calculation involving 10 to 12% of the goat's body weight. Overfeeding can cause serious problems. If your goat seems to be putting on a lot of weight, you may need to reduce feeding. Talk to a vet if you're concerned about your goat's weight.

While in a hypoglycemic state, one of the fastest and most effective treatments is to increase your blood sugar levels by consuming simple carbohydrate food sources and sugary foods.  Simple carbohydrates are easily digested and contain large amounts of glucose, which can effectively raise low blood sugar levels. Examples of simple carbohydrates and sugary foods are: saltine crackers, a tablespoons of raisins, a cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup, 1 cup of fruit juice, a can of soda (not diet), 3 glucose tablets, 1 serving of glucose gel, 12 teaspoons of corn syrup or honey, hard candies, jellybeans, and gumdrops. This can be applied to the inside of the cheeks.  After application, the outside part of the cheeks should be massaged gently. It may take approximately 10-15 minutes for the gel to work. Do not apply gel when drowsy. Checking the blood sugar level should be done 20 minutes after consuming 15 to 20 mg of fast-acting carbohydrates. This can be performed with the glucometer. Take 15-20 mg more of simple carbohydrates. Eat another four saltine crackers or two tablespoons of raisins, for example. These types of foods help maintain and stabilize blood sugar levels. Examples of complex carbohydrates are:  A cup of oatmeal A sandwich 1 to 2 servings of fruit A glass of soy milk 1 carton of low-fat yogurt 6 biscuits and cheese

While it can be temping to tell your best friend about your feelings over text or through a phone call, it’s better to talk to them in person. This helps show that you’re serious about your feelings, and you can gauge your best friend’s reaction more easily when you’re face-to-face. Talk to your best friend when you’re together on a casual outing, such as at the park or eating a meal. Write out specific things you want to tell your best friend when you're sharing your feelings, or even just think about what you might say in your head beforehand. Preparing some specific things to say will help you feel more relaxed and confident when you have the real conversation. Practice what you'd like to say in front of a mirror to help you feel more confident if you're super nervous. Telling your best friend that you like them during a commercial break or right before they need to go isn’t a good idea. Pick a moment where you’re both comfortable and have nowhere to rush off to, such as in the evening or during the weekend.  For example, you might choose to talk to them Friday after school so they have the whole weekend to think about their own feelings. Telling them right before school or really quickly in between activities might cause them to feel overwhelmed. Plan to have enough time to not only tell your best friend how you feel, but to allow them time to think and respond if they’d like to. Pick a spot to talk that isn't very public, like in a park or a secluded part of school. It’s also best to talk to your best friend away from family and friends so that neither of you feels awkward or like people are listening to your conversation. Instead of having the conversation at a loud and crowded restaurant, think about taking a walk with your best friend and telling them then. Start a conversation by talking about things you would normally talk about, such as school, homework, or extracurricular activities. Once you're both feeling comfortable, let them know you have something you'd like to share with them. Be open and...

While it is good to try to conquer continents early in the game, you should be careful about which continents you decide to conquer. There are advantages and disadvantages to each continent, but the main thing to consider is the isolation of a continent. More isolated continents may be easier to maintain, but they are also more difficult to expand from. Therefore, you should choose a continent that is in line with your strategy. For example, Australia is easy to conquer and maintain because of how isolated it is, but it is also hard to expand from Australia and you may fall prey to more powerful plays later in the game. For these reasons, conquering Australia may offer you an advantage, but only if you feel capable of overcoming its disadvantage. Some continents are much more beneficial to hold than others because you will get a better army bonus each turn. Before you begin trying to conquer a continent, find out how many armies you will get as a bonus for holding that continent. For example, Europe gives you a bonus of 5 armies per turn for holding the continent, while Africa gives you a bonus of 3 armies per turn. Keep in mind that Europe and North America are the most beneficial continents to hold because they give you the best army bonuses. Try to hold one of these continents if you can. Knowing how many armies to use in an attack on an opponent can be a big boost to your chances of winning. A good general rule in attacking an enemy territory is to use as many armies as you can to attack your opponent's territory. This will increase your chances of winning and overtaking the territory. Keep in mind that you will need to move these armies to an adjacent territory or a territory connected by a sea line before you begin your attack. For example, if an opponent has two armies on a territory that you want, then you should attack that territory with the maximum amount of armies you can attack with, three. In most cases, you will benefit from having most of your armies on your border territories. Concentrating...

While it is ideal to write every day, it is not practical for everyone. Consider your commitments and set a realistic goal for yourself. Determine how frequently you will write. Decide if you will have time to write every day, twice a week, or just once in awhile.  Some weeks or months you will have more time. Be flexible. If you see an opportunity to write for an hour, grab it! Set a realistic word count goal per writing session. This goal is meant to keep you accountable, focused, and progressing towards the completion of your work. If you are a slower writer, your word count goal may be 1000 words per session. If you only have one hour to devote per session and you are a speedier writer, set a word count goal of 1500 to 2500 words per session. If you are setting aside 4 to 8 hours a day to write, aim for 5,000 to 10,000 words per session. Don’t stress over failing to reach your goal in the allotted time. Instead, remain positive and try to meet the goal during your next session. Find a quiet place, free of distractions, and write! Don’t stress about comma placement or noun-verb-agreement. Just get words down on the page and edit later. Have your outline, audience profiles, and character profiles out on your workspace in case you need to look up a detail here or there.  If you are feeling stuck or having a hard time getting started, join a writing workshop. Talk over your problems with other experienced writers; get feedback on your work.  Use one word file instead of multiple word files. Keeping your work together in one place will generate a sense of continuity. Plus, if you make a change to your plot that impacts an earlier chapter, all you have to do is scroll up to make the alteration. Open a new word document and copy-paste your novel into it. This will allow you to preserve each version of your work. Read through the document at a pace you are comfortable with. Some writers like to revise in one sitting, while others revise their work over the course of a day or week. Search for typos and grammatical...

While it is not your responsibility to educate others about homeschooling, you may be asked questions from well-meaning individuals, friends, and family members. Whether you are just beginning to homeschool your children or you have been homeschooling for years, you will likely find yourself having to explain your decision to others.  You may decide to homeschool your child based on personal preference, religious reasons, or if you find the public schools in your area to be unsatisfactory. It can be as easy to share your reason as, "Yes, my family decided that we weren't happy with the quality of education that our kids were getting at the local elementary school so we've decided to homeschool them." Understand that many people are curious about homeschooling because they are less familiar with homeschooling than they are with traditional public or private schooling. Everyone has different reasons to homeschool. Your decision to homeschool your children may be based on a very different set of circumstances or experiences than another parent’s decision. Look for homeschooling groups or support systems in your area to feel more connected with the homeschooling community and use them as a resource. Support groups are a helpful way to meet other parents who have gone through the homeschooling process before and who have useful advice for new homeschoolers.  Other homeschooling parents can share ways that they've confronted misconceptions about homeschooling before, which can prepare you for whenever you may face them. Homeschooling groups are also valuable resources if you need advice on practical homeschooling matters, such as selecting a curriculum. Finding a homeschool support group in your area has been made easy by organizations like the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), a homeschool advocacy group, which has sites that allow you to search for groups in your zip code. While you do not need to justify your decision to homeschool to others, you should listen to the opinions of others when you...

While it is possible to crack a smile when you’re in a bad mood, smiling under these circumstances can sometimes make people wary of you because they can tell the smile isn’t authentic. Offer a genuine smile to others whenever possible.  To ensure that your smile is genuine, don't smile when you just aren't feeling it. If you do, it will give others the impression that you can't be trusted. Remember how it feels when you do crack a genuine smile. Try to regain that feeling each time you smile. Even if you aren’t in the best mood, think of something that truly makes you happy before you smile. That can often lead to a genuine smile. A genuine smile comes from being happy and positive. Be happy that things are going well for the person you're talking to, that someone's joke is funny, or that you're about to eat your favorite food.  Even when you aren't feeling cheerful, you can still find reasons to smile. Focus on the positive things that are going on in your life and it will be easier to smile. When you're dealing with a person or situation that makes you feel ambivalent and you're not sure whether a smile or not, err on the side of smiling – find one thing that is positive about the person or situation and use that to create your smile. Think about someone you care about, such as the person in front of you, or something that you genuinely love to do. It's much easier to produce a natural, easy-going smile when you focus on the people or things that you love. If you find yourself in a situation where it’s important to smile and you aren’t necessarily feeling it at the moment, it helps to have a mental list of people and things that you love to run through in your head to make it easier to smile. When you’re having fun or enjoying yourself, it’s always easier to smile. See life as an adventure and allow your inner to the child to play by engaging in games, sports, and other leisure activities. When you’re playing a game or participating in an activity with friends and family, avoid getting overly competitive....

While it may be tempting to force a nervous cat to come out of hiding, this will not build a better relationship with the cat. Instead, if you can tempt the cat out of hiding, you are putting the ball in the cat's court so to speak, basically having it make the decision to interact. If the cat has places it feels safe, then perhaps it will feel less stressed and it will make the cat feel more secure when it does venture out. While you want to make sure the cat can hide itself a bit, you also need to make sure that there are no hazards around it. Be especially sure that the cat cannot escape! Don't force your affection onto a high strung cat. It can be totally frustrating to care for a cat that doesn't trust you or care to hang out with you, but you need to keep focused on developing your long-term relationship with the cat. Forcing the cat to do something it doesn't want to do will only make it more distrustful of you. Provide the cat with toys and equipment, such as a cat tower, that will make it happier and more fulfilled. While a skittish cat may be a little afraid of you, it may overcome that fearfulness to play with you or to receive a treat. Contentment will only make it more likely that the cat will overcome its shyness and become comfortable with you. Some cats are naturally reserved or have experienced trauma that makes them fearful. While it's important to try to make your cat happy and content, it may not be able to overcome all neuroses. Make a concerted effort to socialize your cat but don't think of it as a personal failure if your cat doesn't want to snuggle with you all the time. Food is a powerful motivator for a cat, so if it knows that you are the source of its food it may be more inclined to show you affection. If the cat is severely high strung, feeding time may be the only time you can get near it. Hang out near the cat's food dish, making sure that you are far enough from the dish that the cat will actually eat but that your presence is acknowledged by the cat.

While it may be tempting to wear minimal clothing to beat the heat during outdoor activities in the summer, exposing that much skin to the sun will result in tanning and possibly sunburn.  Keep in mind that densely woven, lightweight fabrics will provide protection and shade the skin while running, biking, playing golf, and other outdoor activities. Depending on the type of outdoor activity you are participating in, different measures can be taken to increase protection against harmful UV rays.  Golf:  With long hours on the course and increased UV reflections from the ponds and sand traps, you experience higher exposure to UV rays.  Be sure to always wear a broad-brimmed hat (not a visor or a baseball hat!) and sunglasses, along with long pants or longer shorts and a shirt that minimally covers your shoulders and upper arms. Tennis, Running, and Hiking:  Due to the excessive perspiration that accompanies these activities, participants are at an increased risk of sweating off their sunscreen.  Because of this, reapplication of sunscreen is not enough protection, and clothing and hats with a UPF of 30 or higher are necessary to provide extra defense from prolonged sun exposure. Biking:  Because of the posture your body is in while riding a bike, the back of the neck, the forearms, and the upper thighs receive much more sun exposure than the rest of the body.  To avoid tanning or sunburn during a long bike ride, wear to-the-knee bike shorts, long sleeves, and a wide-brimmed hat and/or cover your neck with the collar of a shirt or a bandana. Sailing and Swimming:  These activities have some of the highest UV exposure levels due to excessive reflection of UV rays off of the water.  In addition to protective clothing and liberal reapplication of sunscreen, sailors and swimmers are recommended to choose sunscreen brands that include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide because they block and reflect UV rays better than other types of sunscreen ingredients that absorb UV rays. It’s easy to forget to reapply sunscreen when...

While it may seem easier and maybe even kinder in the moment to fib about why you don't want to go on a second date, making something up has the potential to seriously backfire. You may also be tempted to ghost the person — never contact them again and stop responding to their texts and calls, but this is unfair and can be more hurtful than just telling the person you're not interested.  Saying "no" should be enough without having to make up an excuse. Don't say "yes" and then pretend you're busy whenever the person calls you, or promise yo call and follow up and then ignore them. If you make up an excuse, it's very possible you might get caught in your lie. Pretending to be sick, that you're getting serious with someone else, that you have to work, etc. — all of these excuses may seem appealing, but the other person could easily find out that you are lying, especially if you have mutual friends. Email and texting are convenient and might make it a little easier to turn someone down since they are not right there in front of you, but it's also very difficult to convey your tone. It can be very easy for the other person to misinterpret what you are saying if they can't hear your voice or see your face and body language.  If the question comes up at the end of the fist date, this is a good time to tell them in person. Or if they ask you face-to-face for a second date. You don't necessarily have to set up a special time to meet up just to tell them "no." If the person texts or emails you about a second date, you might write back, "Can I call you?" and let them down over the phone. . If you're worried you can't say "no" to a second date, you may need to do some work on being more assertive. This doesn't mean being aggressive or nasty — it means you can comfortably state your opinion and how you feel while being respectful of the other person. Remember that it's okay to say "no" — it's your right to turn someone down and you don't need to apologize or even explain yourself. This can be very difficult for some...

While it may seem helpful to learn two similar languages at once, such as Spanish and Italian, this can result in some confusion if you're not careful. If you have a choice in which languages you learn, choose languages that are different from one another to avoid blending them into one combined language in your mind, or mixing up words or grammar.  If you are studying similar languages, avoid studying them in the same study session—separate them by studying them on different days or even on alternating weeks.  However, for some people, learning similar languages helps them remember each one better. You can make connections between the two languages that will help you understand each one better. If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.  For English speakers, Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, and French tend to be easier to learn.  Languages from the Germanic family, such as German, Dutch, and Swedish, also tend to be easier to learn for English native speakers since English is also a Germanic language. If you decide to learn a Germanic language, you'll find that there are many words similar to their English equivalents. Slavic languages, such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish are often challenging for native English speakers due to some unfamiliar grammar concepts. Many Slavic languages use an alphabet called Cyrillic, which isn't very hard to learn. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are some of the most difficult languages for native English speakers to learn, due to different sentence structures and different character sets.  Uralic languages, such as Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian, also tend to be difficult for native English speakers, since they have little connection to Indo-European languages (which includes Germanic, Romance, Slavic, and...

Examine the pattern to determine if it is designed for beginner, intermediate or advanced-level crocheters. The difficulty is usually listed under the title. There is no reason to read through a pattern that is advanced if you are just beginning to learn to crochet. Look to see what the finished measurements of the project will be. If it is a pattern for some type of wearable garment, the sizes that are available from this pattern will be listed. Your pattern will tell you what type of yarn can be used and what the weight of the yarn should be. It will also tell you how much yarn you will need to complete the project. The crochet pattern will even tell you what size crochet hook to buy and if there are any other materials you will need to complete the project.

While it may seem unusual to decorate when by yourself, it is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and lift your mood. Put up your tree, hang decorations around the house, and string up a garland or two. You can also try stringing up some lights out front for visitors to see. If you had a special decorating tradition growing up, you can do that on your own. For example, maybe you always put a Santa hat on top of a Christmas tree instead of a star or angel. Engaging in this tradition alone can help you feel close to your loved ones, even if you can't be there with them personally. Is there something you've wanted for a while that you've been hesitant to treat yourself to? If so, splurge a little in the spirit of the season. Indulge yourself in an expensive item you would not normally buy. Buy it a few days before Christmas, but wait until Christmas Day to open it. As you'll be saving on travel plans, you can afford a little something extra for yourself. It's okay to buy yourself something a little expensive to celebrate the season. You can make a Christmas playlist on a website like YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora. You can also buy some Christmas CDs and play them on your laptop or stereo. Even if you're alone, playing some great Christmas carols can get you in the spirits. If you're not a fan of Christmas carols, think of other songs that you associate with the holiday. For example, play songs that remind you of family members you're not seeing this year. Think back to remember if you were very into a particular album one Christmas season, and play that again to bring back some fond memories. You don't have to skip on your favorite holidays meals and treats just because you're spending the day alone. A few days before Christmas, go shopping and get yourself ingredients to make some of your holiday favorites.  If you're worried about getting too much just for yourself, look for smaller servings. For example, you can get a few slices of precooked ham from a local deli. If you're making an entire batch of...

While it might be a little more difficult to create large designs that cover the entire shirt using the Sharpie method, you can use this technique to create smaller designs, such as flowers and spirals. This section will teach you how to create smaller tie-dye designs using Sharpies and rubbing alcohol. You will need:  Sharpie permanent markers in various colors (or one color if you so choose). Rubbing alcohol. An applicator bottle or an eye dropper. Rubber bands. Plastic cups. Because Sharpies are translucent, the color of your shirt will show throw. This means that if you draw with a yellow sharpie over a light blue shirt, you will get green. A white base, however, will give you the brightest, most vibrant results. Make sure that the shirt (or any other item you are using) is clean, as any dirt or oils may prevent the Sharpie inks from adhering properly. Decide where you want your first design to be, then place a plastic up inside the shirt. Pull the fabric taut over the rim of the cup. Secure it with a rubber band by stretching the band around the fabric and the cup. You are creating a sort of mini fabric-and-cup drum. You can also use an embroidery hoop instead of a plastic cup and a rubber band. Simply tuck the inner circle inside the shirt, and secure it by placing the outer circle over it and the shirt. Press the tip of your Sharpie down onto the fabric, creating a small dot. Make the next dot no more than a centimeter away from the first one. Keep making dots until you have a complete circle or ring—you are essentially making a dotted line. You can make the dots as big or as small as you want, but they should not be touching. Be sure to work inside your cup. Here are some design ideas:  You can create fireworks by making two circles, one inside the other. Use a different color for each circle.  Create flowers by making one big dot, and then making a ring of smaller dots around it. These smaller dots will become petals. Once you are satisfied with your design, you can start adding the rubbing alcohol....

While it might seem counterintuitive, cranking up the heater can actually draw heat away from the engine bay, which might help cool your vehicle down. On the other hand, using air conditioning can worsen the problem. Switch off the A/C, turn on the heat to full blast, and roll down your windows. This isn’t likely to fix the problem but can be a temporary solution if you only have to drive a short distance. If you notice your engine temperature climbing into the hot, or orange/red, zone, don’t continue driving the vehicle. As soon as it is safe to do so, pull over on the side of the road. Turn your hazard lights on so other motorists know that you are having mechanical issues.  Some vehicles may have a warning light that comes on when the engine begins to overheat. This is especially important if you notice steam pouring out from under the hood! Continuing to drive under these conditions could create additional mechanical problems. Start by turning off your vehicle. Then, carefully open the hood to allow excess heat to disperse faster and steam to escape. Press the hood latch on the interior of your vehicle, go around to the front of the vehicle, release the safety lever, and open the hood. Take care not to burn your fingers! If your engine is overheated, everything under the hood will be extremely hot. Do not attempt to diagnose or fix the problem until your car has cooled down. Wait for the temperature gauge to return to a normal reading before moving forward. This can take up to an hour, so make sure you’re parked in a safe spot. Do a brief inspection to see if you can figure out what the problem is. Steam or smoke pouring out or leaking coolant (also called antifreeze) from the radiator, hoses, or engine are signs of a serious problem.  Your coolant may be orange/red or green, depending on the type. If you hear bubbling coming from under the hood, it means your cooling system is over pressurized and your engine is overheating. and fill it if needed. Your vehicle has a plastic reservoir of coolant connected...

While it might seem that a big tank would only mean more work, the opposite is the case. Small tanks get dirty quicker and thus require more regular maintenance. The larger your aquarium the better. It will keep your fish happier and save you energy.  20-gallon tanks are the minimum size you should consider and will be too small for many fish. Semi-aggressive fish, for example, need additional space to prevent fights. Consult with an expert about how much space your fish requires..  You might be required to assemble the aquarium. Follow the instructions on the box, because these will vary from tank to tank. Be sure that the tank comes with a lid. Many fish like to jump and can leap out of the aquarium if you aren’t careful. You should also have a light that you leave on for approximately 12 hours a day and leave off the other half of the day. These come standard with most, but not all, aquariums. These are important for keeping the aquarium at the appropriate temperature for your fish and for cleaning waste out of the water. There are many models for filters. It is principally important that you get one that is designed to a filter a tank as large as the one that you have picked out.  You should also refrain from buying an undergravel filter if you are using a fine substrate, like sand. Certain types of fish can be hurt by gravel and require a sand substrate. A heater is especially important if you plan to keep tropical fish, because these prefer warm water. You will need to place your aquarium on something and most household items—desks and tables included—are not strong enough to accommodate a large tank. Unless you want to have a very expensive, fishy mess on your floor, you should buy a stand specifically designed for an aquarium of your size. Similarly, it is a very bad idea to leave the aquarium on the floor. This will all but inevitably lead an accident. Furthermore, you won’t have much fun looking at your fish if they’re on the ground. A tank should be placed far away from places in the house that...

While it's nice to think of grief as a process, that's not how it works. Your emotions can vary, and you may find yourself going in and out of the grieving process. Give yourself permission to feel your emotions and time to come to terms with what happened. It might take awhile for you to figure out what works for you. Things will start to get better in time. After you learn that your loved one died by suicide you may withdraw from friends and family members. Others may cause a stronger emotional reaction of guilt or blame. Remember that these people may be just as upset by the death as you. Rather than isolating yourself spend more time with those who also loved this person. Doing so may offer you comfort. As you congregate together and try to comfort one another, take the time to recall the good days you had with the deceased person. Dwelling on the hows and whys of the suicide (while understandable) won't lead to peace. Recounting your fond memories may bring you back to a time when this person was happy. You may choose to remember them that way. As soon as you feel able, try to return to your usual routine. Doing this will be very hard at first. Even getting dressed or cleaning your home might be painstaking activities. No, things will never be "normal" again, but establishing your routine again may help you gain a sense of purpose and structure. When you are mourning a loved one's death, it can be easy to forget meals. Taking care of yourself is probably the last thing on your mind. However, eating a few balanced meals each day will give you the strength to persevere through this ordeal. Exercising - even if it is only walking your dog around the block - can help reduce the sadness or anxiety you feel and improve your mood. As you develop your routine, include meal-planning and exercise into your schedule so that you can properly nourish your body during this stressful time.

While it's not necessary to intensely focus on life science classes in high school, it can help you get a jump start on a career in ornithology. Start with classes like biology, as well as classes like anatomy and physiology. Consider taking concurrent classes at a local college. That way, you can really get an idea of what the field is like before jumping in. Ask your guidance counselor if your school offers concurrent classes. One way to get your feet wet in ornithology, even when you're in high school, is to join a bird-watching club. Most communities have these clubs, and they'd be happy to welcome a high school student.  Ask at your local library or parks and recreation department to see if they know of any bird-watching clubs in the area. You can also use social media to find like-minded friends and clubs in your area. To be an ornithologist, you need a college education. Start with a degree in life sciences, such as ecology, zoology, or wildlife biology. These degrees can help prepare you for the field.  While studying for your degree, try to take any courses you can that are specifically focused on ornithology. Another important focus is mathematics, particularly analytic geometry, statistics, and calculus, which can help you when preparing research. English class can also be helpful, as they can teach you how to write well when it comes to making reports. Ornithology is a broad field, and while working on your bachelor's degree or shortly afterwards, you'll need to decide what you want to do in that field. What you plan to pursue can affect your next steps.  Consider the specialties in the field. For instance, some ornithologists specialize in marine ornithology, studying birds that live near the water. Others may specialize in the birds in a particular area, such as the birds of south Texas. For instance, you may want to become a lobbyist, working for the interests of birds by trying to change policy in Washington DC. Alternatively, you may want to do fieldwork or research, where you study the...

While it's not your party, you're the one in charge of making it a success. As the MC, it's your job to keep the event moving forward in a timely manner, keeping to the schedule and helping as best you can. Because of this, you need to be involved in the planning process, not so much to make decisions, but to make sure that you're aware of the order of events and the time frame in which the events need to occur. The night belongs to the bride and groom, but it's your job to help it happen without any problems. The bride, groom, and other members of the wedding party will typically have something called a "run sheet" which will be a detailed itinerary of the various events. Get your schedule ahead of time and keep it on you during the day. Be the militant one. The MC of the wedding is basically the host and communications person of the event. When is it time for tables to approach the buffet line? In what order should they approach the table? Where should presents be placed? When and where will the garter toss commence? These are things you're going to have to know and announce as the MC of the wedding. Distinguish between things you'll need to announce into the microphone and things that might be ok to say to everyone as they come in the door, or by going around table-to-table and talking to everyone. If you label the presents table, for instance, you won't need to make a big to-do of announcing it every five minutes when people come in. To make sure no one from the bridal party or their immediate family has to spend a bunch of time wrangling the catering staff, that's generally going to be the responsibility of the MC. Introduce yourself to the cooks, the servers, the DJ, and anyone else who's going to be directly involved with the evening. Hear them out and accommodate their needs, as well. What happens if the catering group is understaffed? What happens if Uncle Phil's keg of wedding beer runs dry? What if the PA goes on the fritz just as everyone's ready to start dancing? Bus tables!

While it’s possible to waterproof just about any kind of shoe, you’ll get the best results with a more absorbent fabric. The wax you’ll be using will settle nicely into the woven fibers of fabric shoes. On materials like leather or synthetics, it will simply form a coat on the surface which is likely to wear off much faster. Canvas, hemp, suede, and other textured materials will make the best candidates for waterproofing. There are many different brands and styles to choose from, but they all do essentially the same thing. The most important ingredients you're looking for are silicone or acrylic polymers, which help block water and prevent mold, mildew, and general water-related deterioration. Waterproofing sprays can be found in most shoe stores, as well as shops that specialize in outdoor clothing and equipment. Hold the can 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) away from the shoe and mist on a light, even coating. Make sure you cover every part of the shoe where moisture might get in, including the seam where the upper connects to the outsole. Don't saturate it. Instead, look for the spray to just glisten once it's settled on the surface.  Hang up the shoe if possible This will allow you to accurately target the top half of the shoe without accidentally spraying your hand. To decrease your exposure to noxious fumes, work in a well-ventilated area. Outdoors is ideal, but if that isn't an option, you can also turn on the overhead fan. It may take two or more coats to make materials with irregular textures like suede or nubuck fully water-resistant. Go over the entire shoe lightly. Try not to use so much pressure that you soak up the wet waterproofing spray—a few quick dabs will do.  Avoid paper towels. The shedding fibers will get trapped in the sticky spray, effectively becoming a part of the material. Be sure to remove as much of the spray as you can from the surrounding outsole, as well as accents like zippers, eyelets, and rubberized detailing. Most sprays will dry to the touch within 20-30 minutes, but for guaranteed...

While keeping your emotions entirely under control is often challenging, you do need to take responsibility for how your emotions affect your behavior.  Recognize that the state of mind, or attitude, with which you approach an ongoing or imminent argument is a significant determinant in your ability to stop arguing.  Monitor how you’re feeling physically. If a knot develops in your stomach, you’re holding your breath, or your tear ducts are gearing up, check yourself to make sure you are not about to act based solely on emotion. When people say things that are ultimately beside the point, you have the power to choose not to let it bother you.  Make the decision to ignore statements that are irrelevant or stated during another’s fit of anger.  Try to keep a discussion that needs to happen on track, while limiting the extraneous material that may arise with heightened emotions. Don’t allow someone who may be looking for an ego-boost by dragging you into their own emotional turmoil the satisfaction of making you upset. Clearly and simply state that there is no need for insults or irrelevant points to be made. If something is said that needs to be addressed, save it for a different discussion once you both have calmed down. Anger is a powerful emotion that will make it harder to prevent behavior that may be destructive to you and your relationships with others.  You can literally feel anger build, as your body releases chemicals when strong emotions develop.  Recognize that anger alone is not destructive – it’s the behavior that anger sometimes leads to. Be prepared to process anger and resist its physical and emotional effects. Don’t try to avoid or deny your anger. Attempting to quell your anger may lead you to boil over with emotion down the line. Watch your voice. A sure sign that anger might have permeated into your behavior is the volume of your voice.  If you catch yourself shouting, know that it’s time to step back and address your emotions before worsening an argument. If your or someone you’re speaking...

While linear algebra is sufficient for basic robots, you may need to learn advanced mathematics to build complex ones. Study trigonometry or statistics on your own, or take a course online or with a local college. If you struggle with advanced mathematics, ask a fellow robotics hobbyist for advice. They may be able to relate mathematics to skills you both know and understand to make learning new concepts easier. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is the most common software system for building robots. If you want to build your own complex robots without the help of a kit or guide, learning how to use the ROS can help you program your inventions.  Using ROS requires proficiency in a coding language, preferably C++ or Python. Before you download the ROS, spend time honing your computer programming skills first. You can also take a course in ROS online or at some colleges to learn more about the software and clear up any questions you have. If you're serious about robotics, a degree in robotics engineering can teach you how to design, troubleshoot, and repair complex robots. Finish a bachelor's degree in robotics engineering to learn more about the robots industry and learn advanced skills. For schools that don't offer robotics engineering, mechanical engineering can provide similar skills for building and programming robots. If you develop a passion for your hobby, robotics engineering is a career that involves the design and creation of robots. To become a robotics engineer, most companies require a bachelor's or, preferably, master's degree in robotics engineering or a related engineering field.  Some related fields of study include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering. Duties for robotics engineers include designing and testing robots, debugging codes, servicing or repairing robots, and integrating robots with electronic devices.

While living with AF can be challenging, there are ways that you can make dealing with AF easier. These are habits that should be followed every day to help make life easier for you. These include:  Taking all medications exactly as prescribed Continuing to take any prescription medication unless your healthcare provider says otherwise Discussing any medicine-caused side effects with your healthcare provider Monitoring your pulse daily, especially if you have an artificial pacemaker Keeping a record of your pulse along with the day and time the pulse was taken and notes about how you felt at the time There are some substances that can make your atrial fibrillation worse and that contribute to an irregular heartbeat. Because of this, you should avoid the substances such as:  Sodium, which can increase your blood pressure, which triggers AF  Caffeine Tobacco Alcohol, which trigger AF in some individuals Cold and cough medications Appetite suppressants Psychotropic drugs used to treat certain mental illnesses Antiarrhythmic in certain individuals, although they are used to treat arrhythmia as well Anti-migraine drugs Drugs for erectile dysfunction Street drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, “speed”, or methamphetamines levels. High stress levels can increase your blood pressure, which can worsen your AF. High stress levels can also cause other heart diseases because it causes the constriction of your blood vessels. To reduce your stress levels:  Reduce your exposure to your stressors Create a schedule for yourself Take breaks throughout the day Practice yoga Set aside some time each day to meditate There is not a specific diet that is for AF patients; however, your diet can be tailored to the underlying cause and prevention of AF, as well as to lower the risk of stroke and heart attack.

While looking confident won't make you visually look more glamorous, it will affect how people perceive you. If you want to be perceived as glamorous and fit in, you'll need to look like you love yourself and are comfortable in the skin you're in. You don't have to actually be confident but you do have to act like it (although you should learn to love yourself, and the rest will fall into place.) Most people, even if they seem really self-confident, actually are not, so don't feel bad. Don't constantly apologize or defer to other people. Don't criticize yourself or put yourself down. A little self-deprecating humor is okay though. Speak up for yourself, be kind and compassionate (not stuck up or offensive), have good posture, and don't be afraid to do things that make you stand out, like talking intellectually, or about things you are passionate about. Getting overly angry or emotional can ruin the glamorous look, making you look immature or like a bit of a jerk. Can you imagine Audrey Hepburn being a jerk? No. Never create a scene, yell at people who upset you, or generally get extremely sensitive about something that's going on. Be in control of yourself, emotionally as well. Speaking meaningfully, like acting confident, will help create the perception of glamour. The smarter you speak, the more classy and elegant you will seem. An accent isn't necessary to make yourself seem more glamorous, so don't try to fake one. Instead, use the best grammar and vocabulary that you can. Practice speaking when you're alone, if that helps you to overcome bad habits. Remember that since being glamorous is about creating a great first impression, make sure to use your manners, especially when meeting someone for the first time. Every time you step outside your home into the public eye, strive to convey your image of glamour, but no matter what, stay true to yourself (people will respect you for it.) Imagine that you have photographers following you around all day--if they're snapping pictures, what do you want them to...

While lying on your side, place a U-shaped, full length, or wedge-shaped pillow underneath your belly. This will help support your belly, as well as your back muscles while you sleep. Wrap your legs and arms around a U-shaped or full length pillow. The center of the pillow should be supporting your belly. This position is akin to hugging or cuddling the pillow. Placing the pillow between your legs and arms will help relieve tension in your knee and ankle joints. Wrap a C, U, or J-shaped pillow along your back and between your legs. This position will give your lower and upper back, as well as your pelvis, support while you sleep. If you are uncomfortable sleeping on your back, these pillows will prevent you from rolling on your back while you sleep as well. You can also place a wedge-shaped pillow behind your back to support your lower back. Place a wedge-shaped pillow underneath your regular pillow to support your head and neck. This position will help relieve symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn. If you are using a C, U, or J-shaped pillow, keep your spine aligned by placing your head and neck on the pillow as if you are using a regular pillow.

While many celebs have profiles on many forms of social media, some platforms make it inherently easier to interact. Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and a few others allow for quick responses and replies to posts. Sites like Facebook, on the other hand, are generally better for simply following than for interacting.  Take a look at what social media platforms your favorite celebs regularly use. They may have both a Twitter and Instagram, but if they post daily on one and once every few weeks on the other, you should try to connect with the platform they use the most. Some celebrities choose not to use social media. Respect their pursuit for privacy, and don’t try to hunt down personal details like their phone number or address if they don’t have an online presence. Celebrities aren’t going to just stumble across your social media posts. You need to tag or properly mention them in some way to get their attention. Tag them in relevant posts to increase their chance of seeing your statement. For example, you could tweet, “Chillin’ in my PJs, eating cereal and listening to @ArianaGrande newest album right now. Loving life!”  The @ mention is a common feature in Twitter, but every social media site has its own means of tagging someone or referencing another person on the platform. Be sure to only mention or tag them in relevant posts. Tagging them in every single one of your posts is likely to lead to them ignoring you or blocking you. Focus on posts about the celeb’s work, life, or other public events. Just like an @ mention, retweeting a celeb is a quick and easy way to get a celebrity to see your handle. Retweet them when they say something funny, inspiring, or something to which you can relate. Be sure to check their account daily for potentially retweetable content. You do not need to retweet everything they post. Like all other social media interactions, retweets are more powerful when there is a personal connection to them. YouTube and Instagram both have celebrities that started their careers on...

While many hospital jobs are available to healthcare administrators, you can also look for jobs with other healthcare providers in your area. Healthcare administrators can be found at any of the following medical services:  Group physician practices. Clinics. Nursing homes and elder-care facilities. Home healthcare organizations. Outpatient care centers. Mental health organizations. Rehabilitation centers. There are thousands of healthcare administrator positions available across the United States, but it can sometimes be a challenge to find a job in your area. Watch your local paper’s classified section for information on local jobs and check with local healthcare providers, such as hospitals and clinics. You should also perform daily searches of job search websites to see what jobs are available in your area.  Check healthcare providers’ websites. Some businesses are large enough that they post a "Jobs" or "Careers" section on their websites. You can often apply for these jobs by sending your resume and cover letter directly to the company’s hiring manager. If no jobs are available, check again in a week or two.  Visit large job search sites. While the jobs listed on Monster, CareerBuilder, Indeed, SimplyHired and Craigslist are highly competitive, they will show the high profile jobs in your area. On some of these websites, you can request to receive alerts about relevant jobs so that you can apply to them as soon as they are posted. If you are a recent graduate of a healthcare administration program, you may need to spend some time working in an entry level position to gain experience and additional skills before you can land your dream job. Keep in mind that starting with an entry level position is a normal part of professional development. These jobs are often easier to get and you may advance quickly depending on your abilities.  To find entry level positions, look for job postings that include terms like “assistant” in the job titles. You may also consider looking into post-graduate fellowships to...

While many people have heard that fish require a "pinch" of flake food each feeding, giving them too large a pinch can give the fish digestive problems or make the tank dirty and unhealthy. Whatever type of dry food you are using, only put in as much food as your fish can eat in 3 to 5 minutes. If you put too much food in the tank, scoop it out with a fine net.  Warning: Betta fish should be fed much less than they can eat in 5 minutes. Two or three small pellets per betta is sufficient. Because many aquarium fish have small stomachs, pellets that absorb water and expand in size may cause digestive problems or bloating in your fish. Soak the pellets in water for 10 minutes before feeding so they expand before the fish eat it, rather than in the fish's stomach. Because it is much easier to overfeed most fish than to give them too little food, one feeding a day may be safer. However, if you are careful to give them small amounts of food as described above, you may feed the fish twice a day. Some aquarium owners prefer this because the fish become more active and interesting to watch during feeding. If a trail of poop is hanging from your fish, their intestine may be partially blocked due to overfeeding or the wrong type of food. If the water gets dirty enough that you need to do a water change more than once a week, you may be overfeeding the fish, or the tank may be overcrowded. Reduce the amount of food per serving or the number of servings per day to see if the problem goes away within a few days. Ask an aquarium store employee or fish raising hobbyist for advice if it does not. Even within the same species, the larger or more aggressive fish may not leave enough food for the other fish. Reduce the chance of this happening by dividing the food and adding it to more than one area of the tank, or by sprinkling it evenly across the entire water surface. If you have fish in your tank that feed in different areas of the tank, or on different types of food, you will likely need to purchase more than one fish food....

While many underlying conditions can lead to high globulin, it presents relatively few symptoms. One of the main symptoms is inflammation, which is often caused by a buildup of fluids in the extremities. Also visit your doctor if you show signs of liver disease (which often causes high globulin levels). Symptoms of liver disease include:  Vomiting and nausea Itching Frequent fatigue and a lack of appetite An A/G test will allow doctors to measure the ratio of albumin to globulin in your body.  Your doctor will draw blood from your arm and send the blood for lab work and analysis. Follow up with your doctor in 1–2 weeks if you haven’t heard back about the A/G ratio test.  Low albumin could suggest a liver disorder, a kidney disorder, a disorder in which protein is not digested or absorbed properly, severe malnutrition, celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease. A high total protein level might suggest with chronic inflammation, infections, or multiple myeloma. If the doctor put on a tourniquet for too long or if you take estrogen or oral contraceptives, the A/G test results might not be accurate. This is another type of blood test, in which your doctor will draw blood from your hand or arm with a needle and then send the blood sample to a lab for analysis. Unlike the A/G ratio test, which measures for all types of globulin, the protein electrophoresis test measures only for gamma globulins. Your doctor may suggest this test if they suspect that you have an immune system disorder. You may also need to take this test if your doctor thinks you may have multiple myeloma (a type of cancer). In broad terms, too-high levels of globulin indicate types of cancer (e.g., Hodgkin’s diseases or malignant lymphoma), while too-low levels are indicative of kidney or liver diseases. Your doctor will lay out the test results and explain what they mean. High globulin levels can also be caused by dehydration or certain medications. To rule out these possibilities, tell the doctor what medications you’re taking.

While most boards of directors meetings are conducted according to some version of Robert's Rules of Order, some boards may have their own specifics. Understanding the specific rules for your group is essential if you want your proposal to be heard and taken seriously.  Most groups have a written copy of their rules. They may be published on the group's website. If not, talk to the person who takes the minutes of the board meetings – they usually have a copy. Find out if you have to tell anybody about your motion before you present it, and if you are required to submit any written documentation of your motion. If you've never been to a board meeting, make it a point to go to one before you present your motion, if possible. You can watch others make motions to become more familiar with the procedure. If you are required to submit your motion in writing, your group may have a specific form that you're supposed to use. Some groups may have basic templates to guide you, even if you're not required to use them.  The form may be published on the group's website. The secretary or another person who takes the minutes of the board meetings also may be able to help you. In the absence of a form or template, structure your written motion so that it includes a title, space for a brief description of the motion, and a proposed resolution. There are four basic types of motions: main, subsidiary, privileged, and incidental motions. The type of motion you want to make will determine in part how your motion is worded and structured.  Main motions and privileged motions are both unrelated to any other business and must be brought on their own. Subsidiary and incidental motions relate to another matter of business already before the board, so you typically wouldn't have the opportunity to write these out ahead of time. Your group may have specific rules for introducing a main motion. For example, you may need to notify the presiding officer of your motion within 24 hours before the meeting takes place. Motions typically are...

While most carnivorous plants like the same things, they all have unique needs! It’s best to do a little online research to find out how to take care of your particular plant as it matures and grows over the next several years. Once your seedlings are mature, you can take them out of their plastic bag. They can now be moved to bright greenhouses or windowsills. Be sure they’re getting plenty of sunlight, however!   For plants that you’re keeping inside (like butterwort and Cape sundews), these conditions will continue to work for years to come!  If you’re concerned your plants aren’t getting enough light, continue to use 25W fluorescent lights on them. Turn off the lights at night. Keep your pots in water trays and add water to the tray frequently, never allowing the soil to dry out. You shouldn’t top water carnivorous plants. While a light misting works if the soil feels dry, they’ll do much better drawing water up from their trays. There should always be a few centimeters (about an inch) of water in the tray. Top watering is when you pour water onto the surface of the soil surrounding the plants using something like a watering can. Carnivorous plants prefer “bottom watering,” which means that you pour water into the tray you keep beneath the pots. Unless your plants are outside catching bugs, you need to feed them. Buy a container of pure blood worms online or at your local pet store. You can then feed your plants by following these steps:  Put a small amount of dried worms onto a plate you use only for this purpose. Add a few drops of water to the plate to rehydrate the worms. Use a toothpick to spear some wet worms and put them in the plant’s trap. Use tweezers to very gently “seal” the trap once it closes on the worms. Pitcher plants, Sarracenia, Pinguicula (butterwort), and many other carnivorous plants prefer a “dusting” of worms. Grind a few worms into powder then dip a toothpick in water. Touch the wet toothpick to the dust and bring the dust pieces into the pitcher or onto the leaves of these...

While most of Christianity celebrates the Sabbath on Sunday, the Jewish tradition from which Christianity came celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, or the seventh day of the week. There are arguments for and against both days.  Originally, the Sabbath was issued as a day to remember the blessings of creation as well as the original covenant between God and man during the time of Moses. Scripture indicates that God rested on the seventh day, which would be Saturday, and that the day itself is holy for that reason: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exodus 20:11). Scripture also explains that the Sabbath should be kept holy as a sign of the covenant God made with His people when they were led out of Egyptian captivity: "And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day" (Deuteronomy 5:15).  Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, which is the main reason Christians have for switching the Sabbath day to Sunday. When Christ rose from the dead, a "new covenant" was made, and the day marking that covenant's significance is Sunday. Another major controversy surrounding the Sabbath is whether or not Christians are still required to keep it. While some view it as a necessity, others insist that the need has been abolished.  While there are many arguments for and against keeping the Sabbath, the underlying controversy seems to be the issue of whether or not that part of the "old covenant" was abolished when Christ fulfilled the law and became the "new covenant."  Those against the Sabbath argue that the command for a Sabbath was part of Mosaic law and the "old covenant." Since many other rules of the "old covenant" are no longer deemed necessary by Christianity, as evidenced by Paul's argument in Galatians 5 than...

While most of the letters in the Portuguese alphabet are the same as they are in English, some are pronounced quite differently than you might expect.  "C" is pronounced as a hard "k" sound, unless it is followed by an "e" or "i." "G" is usually hard, as in the word "goal." If followed an by "e" or an "i," it should be pronounced like a soft "j" sound. "H" is not pronounced if it begins a word. If it comes after an "l"or "n" it makes a "y" sound. When paired with a "c" to spell "ch," the sound they make is "sh." "J" is always soft. Pronounce it like the "s" in "pleasure." "S" is often just like it is in English. However, it sounds like "sh" or a soft "j" if it ends a sentence, or if it comes before a consonant, including the first letter of the following word. Between vowels, it sounds like a "z." "V" is usually "v" like in English, but areas of Northern Portugual reflect some Spanish influence and pronounce it more like "b." "X" tends to sound like a mixture of a soft "j" and "sh," but can also be said "ks," "z" and "s." It changes depending on the word. M, N, and Z all make unique sounds when they end a word in Portuguese.  "M" and "N" are pronounced as they are in English unless they come at the end of the word. If they end a word, they are pronounced as a nasal "ng" or "ny" sound, almost as if the word is being swallowed. "Z" is as it is in English unless it ends a word. If it ends a word, it's pronounced like a soft "j," unless the following word starts with a vowel, in which case you can say "z." The letter "R" does not sound like the English "R." It is rolled, swallowed, or tapped, depending on where you are in the Portuguese-speaking world. In Portugal, an "r" that appears in between vowels is pronounced with a single tap to the upper palate, as it is in Spanish. An "r" that begins a word, begins a syllable, or is followed by another r ("rr") is rolled at the back of the throat. Diacritic marks indicate unusual pronunciation or stress of a letter in a Portuguese.  If there's a tilde ("~") over a...

While most people associate biceps with arm strength, the most important pitching muscles in your arm are actually the flexor muscles in your forearm and your triceps. Focus on strength-building and flexibility exercises in these areas to build pitching velocity and reduce the risk of injury.  Try some reverse barbell curls. Face away from the barbell and grip it with both hands shoulder-length apart from behind your back. Bend your elbows slightly and let your wrists do the work when you curl the barbell up toward your back. Start with a light-weight barbell and a limited number of repetitions before until you’re comfortable increasing. This will build forearm and wrist strength. Try some tricep extensions. You’ll need a cable pulley which is available at most commercial gyms. Grip the rope or handle-bar attachment in front of you and pull it down with your elbows ending up straightened and by your sides. Raise your hands back to the starting position slowly. Start with a light-weight pulley and a small number of repetitions until you’re comfortable increasing. The majority of pitching injuries take place in the shoulder region so building strength and flexibility in this area is essential as you try to ramp up your fastball velocity. Try some shoulder flexions. You’ll need some anchored tubing which is available at most commercial gyms. Stand facing away from the anchor with the tubing in your hands resting at your sides. Extend your arms out in front of your face with your elbows and wrists straight and then return to your starting position. Start with a limited number of repetitions until you’re comfortable increasing. Your arms aren’t the only part of your body you work when pitching. A lot of your power will be derived from your legs, hips and abdomen. Strengthen these areas, collectively known as your ‘core,’ to maximize your pitching ability.  Try some medicine ball rotational throws. You’ll need a medicine ball and a workout partner. Sit on the floor and hold the ball close to your chest with your...

While most people play the ukulele with their right hand, you can play the ukulele with your left hand. In this case, you will hold and strum the ukulele with your left hand and play the frets with your right hand. Keep in mind that most ukulele instruction books are written for right-handed players, so you may need to reverse any instructions you use. If you do not want to constantly reverse playing instructions, you can restring your instrument so that the G-string is the top string when you hold the instrument with your left arm. To play in this position, turn the ukulele so that the neck is held up at an angle. This may help if you are playing a larger ukulele or if you are a beginner. After a while, you may no longer need to support the ukulele by holding it on the bottom. Instead, support the ukulele entirely with your forearm. Float your wrist over the sound hole to strum. This will give you more movement. If you cannot hold the ukulele this way without it slipping, you may not be ready to try this. The strap will keep the ukulele in place to let you play with more ease. You can use a ukulele strap or an adjustable guitar strap. These are available at instrument stores and online. Ukulele straps are usually not needed if you are playing in a seated position.

While most varieties of household soaps are a poor fit for automobiles, Ivory soap is designed to be especially gentle. It contains mild acids that will eat away at sun-baked splatters without harming the paint underneath.  Ivory soap is available in liquid or bar form, and can be found at most major supermarkets or drug stores. To treat your car’s finish with a solid bar of soap, rub the soap into damp cloth until it begins to bubble, then use the cloth to scrub the affected area. Mix a couple tablespoons of baking soda with water to form a paste. Spread the paste over small areas littered with dried insects and leave it to sit for 5-10 minutes. Once time is up, wipe away the baking soda paste with a microfiber towel, then rinse and dry. Baking soda is another item most people keep in their homes that can be used to safely and effectively lift stains on a vehicle’s exterior. Spray the spot very lightly with WD-40 and leave it to take effect for 1-2 minutes. You can then simply wipe away the insects using a clean cloth. This makes a handy solution for busting bug spots when you’re unable to give your car a proper wash or wax.  Oils like WD-40 are formulated to cut through grease and other types of resilient residue, which makes it perfect for dealing with crusty gunk. As an added bonus, WD-40 is useful for reducing the appearance of scratches in a car’s paint. If insects are piled on so thick that other methods fail to remove them, or they’ve had a long time to become cemented into place, you can use a very fine steel wool (#000 grade is optimal) to wear them down. This will require you to work slowly and cautiously, but with a steady hand it’s practically guaranteed to erase even the most maddening messes.  Focus on a small area and use as little pressure as possible. This is only recommended as a worst case scenario solution. If you’re not careful, you could easily leave scratches on your car.

While not a hard and fast rule, a cockatiel that learns to talk is usually a male. Whether or not they learn any phrases, males tend to be more vocal and spend more time whistling, whereas females tend to be quieter, and favor hissing and screeching more often the males. Male cockatiels are more likely to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror, strutting, calling, or investigating it. If your bird loses interest quickly, it's more likely the bird is a female. Male cockatiels are generally the ones actively trying to woo a partner, but they will sometimes exhibit these behaviors even without another bird around:  Tapping his beak loudly against objects to get a female's attention. Strutting around while whistling or beak tapping, involving hopping motions and/or quick head dips. Wing tips lifted away from body, forming a heart shape when viewed from behind Females are generally less active leading up to bonding or mating, and typically do not display these behaviors unless a male is present:  Sitting on a low perch, peeping quietly, with her tail up in the air. Attempting to feed the male cockatiel she has bonded with or is trying to bond with. Most experienced bird owners have noticed a bird rubbing its vent (bottom) on perches, objects, or even its owner's hand. Some birds will do so daily or even more frequently. This type of habitual masturbation is most commonly seen in males, but there are exceptions.  Male masturbation generally involves humping the object or standing over it and rubbing its vent on it. Female masturbation can be similar, but could also involve backing up against an object with the tail up and body bent forward. It's no surprise that only females lay eggs, but this won't help you if you discover an egg in a cage with multiple birds. If you want to be certain of the sex identification, provide each bird with a separate cage and nesting box, or point a video camera on the nesting box to record future behavior.  Females under 18 months should not be given a nesting box, as egg-laying...

While not always necessary for identification, ant behavior does vary by species. Write down where you found the ants, and what they were eating or collecting if anything. Note whether the ants are all the same size and shape, or whether some are significantly larger than others. Optionally, you may observe how they carry food, how fast they run, their trail pattern, or even the postures they strike when disturbed. Most of these details will not be covered in this guide, but they may help later if you narrow down the identification to a couple species and need to perform a little outside research. Tweezers or more precise, but the end of a cloth or brush dampened with rubbing alcohol or ethanol will also work. You may drop the ant in a plastic bag, seal it, and freeze it for 24 hours. Alternatively, drop the ant in a small jar with a shallow layer of alcohol, and examine after a few minutes. Identifying a specific ant species requires close examination of tiny body parts. A 10x or 15x lens should be strong enough, but you can use a microscope on low magnification if you happen to have one. A pair of tweezers will again be useful for investigation, for adjusting the ant's position.

While not strictly necessary, a four-year program at a college or university can expose you to a variety of different languages, as well as help you network with professionals and other students. This method certainly isn't for everyone, and plenty of successful programmers never attended a four-year institution. As you create programs and expand your knowledge, make sure that all of your best work is saved in a portfolio. You can show this portfolio to recruiters and interviewers as an example of the work you do. Make sure to include any work done on your own time, and ensure that you are allowed to include any work done with another company. There is a very large freelance market for programmers, especially mobile app developers. Take on a few small freelance jobs to get a feel for how commercial programming works. Oftentimes you can use the freelance jobs to help build your portfolio and point to published work. You don't have to work for a company to make money programming. If you have the skills, you can develop software yourself and release it for purchase, either through your own website or through another marketplace. Be prepared to be able to provide support for any software you release for commercial sale, as customers will expect their purchase to work. Freeware is a popular way to distribute small programs and utilities. The developer doesn't receive any money, but it's a great way to build name recognition and make yourself visible in the community.
