People who are naturally loud do not possess this important skill. So, the next time you’re in a situation where you’re just dying to say something, pause, take a moment, and ask yourself if what you have to say will really help the situation. Will you be giving people information that they need, making people laugh, or offering words of comfort, or will you be saying something just to be heard? If you don’t think anyone will actually benefit from what you have to say, then keep it to yourself. One rule to follow when you’re starting off is to say one of every two things you’re thinking. As you work on being more quiet, then you can say one of every three things, or one of every four things. Don’t ever interrupt a person while he or she is talking unless you think what you have to say is crucial to the conversation. (Let’s face it. – When is that ever the case?) Not only is it rude to interrupt people, but it will disrupt the flow of the conversation and will make you appear  loudmouth. If you really have a comment to make or a question to ask, then make a note of it and wait until the other person is done talking to see if what you have to say is still relevant. You’d be surprised by how many of your questions will get answered anyway if you just let people talk. If you’re working on being more quiet, then chances are that you tend to talk on and on about yourself or the things that really interest you instead of letting other people share their ideas. So, the next time you’re having a conversation and it’s your turn to speak, ask people questions to gain insight about the topic you’re discussing and to learn more about them – from what their hobbies are to what they like to do for fun. You don’t have to make it sound like an interrogation or ask questions that make people uncomfortable. Keep things light, friendly, and polite and remember that conversation, in large part, is more about saying that you care about and are interested in the other person's thoughts, feelings, and point of view and less about...

People who attempt suicide are more likely to be suffering from a serious mental condition like depression or anxiety. Know that there is help for you. If your suicidal feelings were brought on by a specific event, like the grief of being jilted, job loss, or becoming disabled, remember that this kind of situational depression can still be helped by treatment. If you are religious and have access to a spiritual leader, try talking to him/her. Some people prefer talking to people of faith than one trained primarily in psychology. Those called to religious ministry are trained in helping people in crisis, including individuals in despair who may be suicidal. If this is something that you believe in, a spiritual leader can help you ease the pain by offering a new perspective and giving you some things to think about. There are support groups, both online and in your community, where you can find comfort by talking to other people who have suicidal thoughts or who have attempted suicide. To find a support group, you can ask your mental health professional for information about group meetings, or look online for groups in your local area. The most important thing to remember is that no matter why this is happening, you are not alone. Reach out to people who are there for you and who understand how it feels, and want to help. If you're looking for a good place to start, try getting in touch with one of the following services:  Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-799-4TTY). If you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans* call 1-888-THE-GLNH (1-888-843-4564). If you're a veteran call 800-273-TALK and press 1. If you're a teenager call Covenant House Nine Line at 1-800-999-9999. Send an anonymous e-mail to The Samaritans suicide prevention center. Call a psychotherapist.

People who become prodigies are open to learning throughout their lives. Look for opportunities to learn, grow, and change everywhere you go. This can help you develop the skills necessary to becoming a prodigy.  Stay humble. Humility is key to learning. No matter what successes you have professionally, keep in mind there is always more to learn in your field. Keep pursuing higher levels of mastery and education.  Develop an autodidactic attitude. Spend your free time reading up on your chosen field, practicing your craft, and working on developing new skills. Look for opportunities to learn around you. If you want to become a musical prodigy, attend every concert you can and listen to the music actively. Pay attention to technique, performance, melody, rhythm. If you want to be a poet, go to poetry readings and pay attention to the use of symbolism and language. Prodigies tend to have exceptional memories. If you want to become a prodigy, take steps to improve your memory.  Repeat and write down new information. When you meet someone, say their name in your head when you shake their hand. When trying to remember a snippet of information, jot it down in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Also, seek to understand any information you record. It's very hard to recall information you do not understand.  Reduce your overall level of stress. Being stressed out can cause lapses in memory. Take breaks at work. Practice meditation. Do relaxing activities, like reading a book or watching TV, at the end of long days to help reduce stress.  Always do new things. This can challenge your brain and increase your memory. Take a different route to work in the morning. Make an effort to meet new people. Try to read a new essay, book, or poem every day. Some studies indicate prodigies tend to be more altruistic than the average person. Working on developing your overall empathy can help you build the skills necessary to becoming a prodigy.  Pay attention to the welfare and interests of those around you. You can't just empathize...

People who eat fibrous fruit, vegetables, complex carbs, and low-fat meat burn even more calories after they eat. Make sure that your diet features plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products. Eat a balanced diet and do not exceed your recommended daily caloric intake. Some good choices include:  Kale Broccoli Carrots Apples Pears Citrus fruits Oatmeal Brown rice Low-fat yogurt Low-fat milk Fish Nuts and seeds (in moderation) Rather than consuming the traditional three meals a day, eat smaller meals throughout the day to help increase your metabolism and burn more calories. Aim for four to five evenly spaced small meals throughout the day. Try to eat every three hours to prevent excessive hunger and keep your metabolism revved up. Eating breakfast jump starts your metabolism, which helps you to burn more calories all day. Studies have found that people who eat breakfast also eat fewer calories throughout the day, while those who skip breakfast tend to eat more to make up for the calories they missed at breakfast. Choose high-fiber, low-calorie foods to reap the benefits of breakfast without going over on your calorie budget. Oatmeal, whole wheat bread, fruit, yogurt, and low-fat milk are great breakfast choices. Eating hot peppers can increase your metabolism by as much as 25% for up to three hours after eating. This calorie burning boost is caused by the capsaicin in peppers. Look for opportunities to add hot peppers to your recipes and reap the calorie burning benefits of capsaicin.  Add a chopped jalapeno pepper to chili. Add a ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper to pasta sauce. Use hot sauce on pizza, sandwiches, veggies, and other foods. Keep in mind that many bottled "hot" sauces are high in sodium, which could prove problematic for those with hypertension (high blood pressure) or other health concerns. Use raw peppers whenever possible.

People who engage in unsavory behavior, such as talking behind a friend’s back, usually feel insecure in some way. If someone you know is talking about you behind your back, know that it usually means more about that person’s character than it does about yours. Try to take the high road and ignore the person doing this. You don’t have to dignify their behavior with your attention. It can help you feel reassured to hang out with trusted friends or family members you know love and care for you. If you feel bad about something you’ve done or don’t know a new acquaintance well, it can be easy to imagine things that aren’t actually happening. Don’t let yourself get carried away imagining someone is talking behind your back if there is no evidence to support that idea. If you’re feeling paranoid, a few deep breaths or a calming walk can help clear your head. If you’re feeling guilty, it may be helpful to reflect on your behavior to examine what’s not sitting right with you. Whether you’ve accidentally hurt a friend or knowingly done something unkind, your actions may encourage people to talk about you if they feel wronged. Reflect on what you could have done differently, if you’ve done anything wrong at all. Sometimes people talk about you behind your back even when you haven’t done anything to deserve it. If you’ve done nothing to bring on the person talking about you behind your back, you may want to stop the behavior by talking directly to them. Be honest without being cruel, even if you feel the other person is out of line. Ask that they treat you with the respect you deserve in your friendship or working relationship. You might say, “I think you’re talking about me behind my back, and I really don’t appreciate it. If you have a problem with me, let’s sort it out directly. We need to work together, and we both deserve respect. Let’s find a way to put this behind us.” If the other person does not stop bullying you or spreading lies behind your back, you may need to file a formal complaint against them. Whether...

People who have big egos tend to think that they deserve to be working at a better place, to be dating someone better, or even to be hanging out with people who are interesting and cooler. But your life is your life, and if you want better things, then you have to work to reach for them, instead of assuming the attitude that you’re not getting treated fairly. To practice humility, work to accept the life you have while striving for more without complaining. If you adopt the attitude that you’re too cool for school, people will become allergic to you. Instead, work to be grateful for what you have and work to earn more, if that’s what you want. People who practice humility are naturally optimistic because they don’t waste their time complaining about all of the bad things that have happened to them or dreading the future. Instead, they’re grateful what they have and they expect good things to happen in the future. Humble people don’t expect to be given good things on a silver platter, but they do believe that good things will happen to them if they work hard enough.  Work on being excited about all of the things the future holds instead of expecting catastrophe to strike at any moment. Though it’s a good idea to be prepared for the worst, you should work on finding the silver lining in almost every situation. To get in a more humble mindset, you have to accept the fact that you’re not the best at everything—or even anything. No matter how great you are at surfing, singing, or writing fiction, there will always be someone who is more knowledgeable than you are, and that’s okay. Instead of acting like you have the final say on something, be open to the fact that you’re constantly evolving and improving, and know that other people can help you get there. If you act like you’re the best at something, you’ll come off as arrogant. Instead, show people that, while you’re proud of what you know or what you can achieve, you’re always wanting to do more. It’s one thing to be humble and another thing to be falsely...

People who have hurt you by betraying your trust or being overly critical can and often should be ignored.  People who have actually hurt you physically or emotionally do not deserve to be let off so easy. Yes, you should absolutely cut off contact with someone who has physically or emotionally abused you.  But do not hesitate to contact the proper authorities if you feel unsafe or believe this is a pattern of behavior likely to be repeated. There is a fine line to walk here.  You should never feel like you deserve to be mistreated, but you can consider what role you may have played in another’s lack of concern or care.  For instance, you shouldn’t blame yourself for your boyfriend cheating on you, but you can examine how your jealousy, lack of attention, or some other factor may have given him an excuse to justify his hurtfulness. People seek out the type of relationships they had in their childhood, even if they weren't productive relationships. This process is mostly subconscious. See if you're pursuing relationships with people who remind you of your past relationships.

People who struggle with excessive hoarding save excessive items in a disorganized manner, often creating a dangerous living environment.  People who hoard are often unable to discard any items, even if they have no monetary value.  They save these items out of sentimentality or due to fear that they may need the item in the future.  Hoarders often create rooms in their homes that can no longer be used as they are intended due to an accumulation of clutter. Hoarders often collect newspapers, magazines, brochures, and other documents that contain information so that they can read and digest the information at a later date, but many do not get around to actually reading the papers. Hoarders attach strong emotions to objects and feel that possessions offer them a sense of comfort or security.  They may feel as though letting go of a possession is losing a part of themselves. The reasons behind hoarding vary from person to person, but hoarders consistently show an emotional or psychological connection to the items.  They also exhibit a resistance to thinking or talking about the extent of the clutter. If you do not live with the hoarder, be sure to stop by to check on and socialize with him when you can.  You should use your visits to determine whether conditions are improving or worsening.  You may need to evaluate whether the hoarder has reached a point of being a danger to himself. Many hoarders may admit to being “pack rats” or wanting to keep things, but they do not understand concerns about health or safety.  They may not see their behavior as problematic, and often do not realize the impact that their behaviors have on others. You should communicate your concerns for the hoarder’s health and safety, but try not to sound judgmental.  Try focusing on the health risks, including mold, dust, and cleanliness.  You can also focus on environmental safety, pointing out fire hazards and blocked exits.  Try not to spend too much time focusing on the clutter or objects themselves, as this will likely cause the...

People who struggle with insecurity may need constant reassurance and support, which you can't always provide.  Talk with them about boundaries so that you don't feel overwhelmed or frustrated by their behavior.  For example, if you're in a relationship with someone who's insecure, they may want to know what you're doing and where you are.  While it's important to check in with them via phone or text, talk with them ahead of time about boundaries when you're out or away from them.  Stick to what you both agree to do. Perhaps you have a co-worker or classmate who seems to need your constant attention. Define good times to talk and interact with them.  Consider saying things like, "I want to be available for you, but I also have some work to do.  Why don't we talk after class or at lunch?" Insecure people are often anxious about something or someone.  Maybe they have been hurt by old boyfriends.  Maybe they've been bullied about the way they look. Help to reduce their anxiety and focus on positive thoughts.  Act as a reminder when they seem to be focusing on the negative, and try to redirect their thoughts to positive things.  For example, "I know those people can be mean, but remember that you have my support, and the support of your friends." If the conversation appears fixated on the negative, refocus the conversation on something positive that you see in them or neutral topic of conversation.  Consider complimenting them for something.  Or discuss topics of mutual interests such as movies, sports, or other activities. Insecure people can be emotionally draining, and seem to make you feel more tired afterwards.  They may act dependent on you for all their needs.  Avoid feeling like their caretaker, and set boundaries.  Motivate them to find ways to cope without you always there. Set specific times when you'll talk and meet.  Instead of avoiding them completing, make sure to set times that work for you and them. Be clear and polite that you need to have some space, but that doesn't mean you don't care for...

People will either have normal, oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin. While model skin can be achieved regardless of the skin type that you have, your skin care routine should vary based on your type.  Tailoring your skin care routine to your skin will ensure that your skin looks as good as possible. Once you  determine your skin type, you can choose the products that are best for your skin.  Normal skin is neither particularly oily nor particularly dry. It is characterized by small pores, few imperfections, and no severe sensitivity. People with normal skin can use a wide range of skincare products. Oily skin is characterized by shiny skin and overly dilated pores.  This skin type is more prone to acne. If you have oily skin, you will want to use water-based or oil-free cosmetics, and you may want to consult a dermatologist about creams that can limit the production of oil.  Dry skin is characterized by lack of moisture and often exhibits red patches, dull and/or rough complexion, less elasticity, and more visible lines. If you have dry skin, you will need to use mild and gentle cleansers, apply a rich moisturizer, and avoid washing you face with very hot water.  Combination skin is skin that is dry in some areas, but oily in others. A common place to be oily is in the “T-zone”, which consists of the nose, forehead, and chin. In contrast, skin is often dry on the cheeks. Combination skin exhibits large pores, blackheads, and shiny skin. If you have combination skin, you will want to look at treating the dry and oily regions separately.  Sensitive skin is skin that reacts to ingredients commonly included in commercial skincare products. This hyper-reactive skin often appears red. It is not necessarily considered a skin type, but instead is a common symptom. People with sensitive skin should use fragrance-free and hypo-allergenic skincare products. For the best results, use a mild, non-detergent cleanser. Many models choose to wash their faces with products that include gentle, plant-derived surfactants,...

People will naturally talk to those who listen. Everyone wants to feel important and heard, so if you want people to talk to you give them your full attention. Make sure you always listen when someone is talking.  Try to follow the rule, "Listen first, talk second," after starting the conversation. Once you open things up, let the person share their input completely before interjecting. Show that you're listening by maintaining eye contact and nodding on occasion. You can also say things like, "Mmhm.." to convey interest. Questions are a great way to keep a conversation going. If there seems to be a lull in conversation, push it forward with a few questions.  Try asking about something someone just said. For example, "That's interesting. What was it like going to school in a big city?" You can also bring up a new topic through a question. Think about something that would be appropriate to introduce given the situation. For example, if you're talking to someone at school, say something like, "What did you think of that chemistry exam?" People will not want to talk to you if you simply bombard them with questions. People are uncomfortable talking to people who ask a lot about others but share little about themselves. Make sure you divulge information about yourself so people will want to talk to you.  Try to make a pattern between asking questions and sharing information. For example, you ask someone how they're enjoying a book they're reading. After they share, make a comment about something you've recently read. You should also be willing to answer any questions someone asks you in return. If you seem like you're withholding information, people may become nervous and not want to talk to you. Watch to make sure someone is not getting uncomfortable with a topic. Someone may look nervous if you bring up a  certain topic and get quiet. You also may simply have exhausted a given topic. If you're both struggling to think of what to say in a conversation, find a new topic.  It's best to try to find a related topic....

People with OCPD are perfectionists. They are overly disciplined and preoccupied with processes, procedures and rules. They spend a great deal of time and energy in planning, but their perfectionism may keep them from actually accomplishing tasks.  People with OCPD have an eye for detail and their need to be perfect in each and every aspect pushes them to control every facet of their environment. They can micromanage people despite resistance. They strongly believe in going by the book and also that rules, processes and procedures are meant to be followed and any deviation from them would result in producing imperfect work. This behavior is diagnostic Criterion 1 for OCPD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-V). Indecisiveness and an inability to complete tasks are hallmarks of people with OCPD. Because of his/her perfectionism, a person with OCPD has a strong urge to exercise caution in trying to decide what, when, and how things need to be done. S/he will often research the most minute of the details irrespective of relevance to the decisions at hand. People with OCPD are extremely averse to impulsivity or risk-taking.  This difficulty with decisions and tasks extends even to very small things. Precious time is lost in weighing the pros and cons of each proposition, no matter how minor. The emphasis on perfection also causes people with OCPD to perform tasks repetitively; for example, a person might proofread a document for work 30 times and thus fail to get it in on time. This repetition and the person’s unreasonably high standards often cause dysfunction for them in the workplace. This behavior is diagnostic Criterion 2 for OCPD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-V). People with OCPD can often come across to others as “cold” or “heartless” because of their focus on productivity and perfection, to the exclusion of things like social and romantic relationships.

People with chronic asthma may wheeze occasionally and require the use of their asthma medication to control symptoms. An attack is different in that it results in more severe symptoms which last longer and require immediate attention. Early symptoms that an attack may be imminent include:   Itchy neck Feeling irritable or short-tempered Feeling nervous or edgy Fatigue Dark circles under the eyes An asthma attack can deteriorate into a life-threatening situation that requires immediate medical attention. Know how to identify an asthma attack so that you can begin treatment as soon as possible. Although signs and symptoms of an asthma attack vary depending on the person, the most common symptoms include:  Wheezing or whistling while breathing. Most often the wheezing is heard when a person is breathing out (exhaling) but can sometimes also be heard when they are breathing in (inhaling).  Coughing. Some sufferers may cough in an attempt to clear the airway and get more oxygen into their lungs. This may be especially aggravated at night.  Shortness of breath. People suffering from asthma attacks will complain of being short of breath. They may be breathing in short shallow breaths that appear to be faster than normal.  Chest tightness. Attacks are often accompanied by a feeling that chest feels tight or that there is pain on the left or right side.  Low peak expiratory flow (PEF) readings. If the person uses a peak flow meter, a small device that measures the maximum speed of expiration in order to monitor a person's ability to exhale air, and the measurements range from 50% to 79% of your personal best, this is indicative of an asthma flare-up. Children will often have the same symptoms as adults with asthma, such as wheezing or whistling when breathing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness or pain.  Fast breathing is common in an asthma attack in children. Children may show 'retractions' where you can see their neck pulling, belly breathing, or their ribs when they breathe.

Pepper plants want evenly moisturized soil, which can be hard to maintain. To keep the water in the soil from evaporating, pack mulch, such as weed-free straw, around the base of the plants. Mulch protects the soil from the sun and helps the soil store moisture better. Hot pepper plants are thirsty and require a good amount of water. At the same time, you don’t want to overwater them so the soil is soaking. Water them deeply every 5 to 7 days. Check the soil moisture meter every day to see if you need to water the plants more often. Some plants help peppers grow better and keep insects away from them. Grow onions, basil, and chives to deter insects like aphids, slugs, and mosquitoes that harm your peppers. Plant tomatoes and corn to give your pepper plants shade and create a windbreak.

Pepper spray is an oil-based substance which causes severe irritation to your eyes and skin. If you get pepper spray in your eyes, resist the temptation to touch your face or rub your eyes. Touching your face will just spread the oil around and increase the affected area.  Don't touch your face, but do tear up your eyes by blinking a lot. Blinking produces liquid that helps start the process of flushing the spray residue from your eyes. If you are wearing contact lenses when you get pepper spray in your eyes, take these out immediately. The spray residues will stick to the lenses and continue to irritate your eyes. Throw the lenses away. Even cleaning them will not remove the residue.  After taking out your lenses, submerge your face in cool, clean water. Open and close your eyes underwater several times. Even if you manage to flush out your eyes, the symptoms may persist. Irritation to the eyes can continue anywhere from 30 minutes to over two hours. Inflammation of the throat lining can also cause breathing difficulties for up to an hour.  If your symptoms are particularly severe or last longer than this, you should go to a hospital or walk-in centre. If you have asthma, pepper spray can cause serious breathing difficulties and you should get emergency medical treatment.

Pepper spray leaves an oily residue on your skin and in your eyes which you need to clean off as quickly as possible. The most straightforward way to do this is just by flushing your face and eyes with cool water. You should do this for at least fifteen minutes.  After doing this, keep the affected areas open to the air. Being exposed to the air helps the irritant evaporate after you've flushed your eyes with water. If you have access to a sink or drinking fountain use this. Otherwise, use any clean water you can get hold of. You can also stand under a cold shower to rinse off. Flushing your face and eyes with water can help to wash off the oily pepper spray residue. To help remove it from your skin, you can add some mild, non-oil-based soap or dish detergent. Make a solution of one quarter mild detergent with three quarters cool water.  Keeping your eyes firmly shut, dip your face into the solution for twenty seconds. Rinse off your face and repeat ten times. Refresh the solution after each rinse, so you are not putting your face back into pepper spray water.  Don't get soap into your eyes. It will only further irritate them. There may be some oily residue left in your eyes after the burning sensation has begun to subside. To tackle this you can use some saline eye drops to flush out any final irritants. Just apply a few drops directly to your eyes and blink continuously.  You can buy these drops in drug stores, supermarkets and pharmacies. Remember not to rub your eyes even after doing this.

Peppermint contains menthol, which can help soothe sore throats and dry coughs and act as a decongestant. You can find many different treatments with peppermint, such as extracts used in dietary supplements, lozenges, essential oils, and herbal teas. You can also use the fresh herb as flavoring in your meals every day.  You can drink peppermint tea up to three times a day. Peppermint oil is often used in aromatherapy or as a rub. Never take peppermint oil orally. Don't use peppermint or menthol for children under two years of age. Garlic has antiviral, anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the throat and nasal passages, and is rich in antioxidants such vitamin B6, vitamin C and manganese, which help boost immunity against infections. Garlic has a sulfuric enzyme called alliin that helps protect against viruses. Garlic is best taken as a raw clove to release alliin.  To make it more edible, crush the garlic into a spoonful of honey or olive oil. This helps strengthen your immune system to reduce the likeliness of catching a cold when taken on a daily basis, and speeds up recovery when taken during a cold. Also try two to four grams of fresh, minced garlic cloves to spice up your meals or cook it by lightly browning it over low heat so as not to destroy its active compounds. Garlic has been shown to have other health benefits like lowering blood cholesterol and blood pressure. There are many other forms of garlic available, such as garlic seasoning, garlic powder, and garlic salt. Too much garlic may cause bad breath and low blood pressure, so limit your intake to two to four cloves of garlic a day.

Percussion instruments are considered one of the oldest forms of musical instrument. Most are used to create and keep rhythm, although a few can play the melody or create harmonies.  Percussion instruments that produce sound by vibrating their entire bodies are called idiophones. These include instruments that are struck together, such as cymbals and castanets and those that are struck by something else, such as steel drums, triangles, and xylophones. Percussion instruments with a “skin” or “head” that vibrates when struck are called membranophones. These include drums such as the timpani, tom-tom, and bongo, as well as instruments that attach a string or stick to the membrane that vibrates it when pulled or rubbed, such as the lion’s roar or cuica. Woodwind instruments produce sound by vibrating when blown. Most include tone holes to change the pitch of the sound they produce, thus making them suited for playing melodies and harmonies. Woodwinds are divided into two types: flutes, which produce sound by making the entire instrument body vibrate, and reed pipes, which vibrate material placed inside the instrument. These are further divided into two sub-types.  Open flutes produce sound by splitting an airstream blown over the edge of the instrument. Concert flutes and panpipes are types of open flute. Closed flutes channel air through a duct in the instrument to split it and make the instrument vibrate. The recorder and organ pipes are types of closed flute. Single-reed instruments place a reed into the instrument mouthpiece. When blown into, the reed vibrates the air inside the instrument to produce sound. Clarinets and saxophones are examples of single-reed instruments. (Although a saxophone’s body is made of brass, it is considered a woodwind instrument because it uses a reed to make its sound.) Double-reed instruments use two cane reeds bound together at one end instead of a single reed. Instruments such as the oboe and bassoon put the double reed directly between the player’s lips, while instruments like...

Perfectionists think and talk about what they “should” be doing instead of what they are doing, or what they “should” do or never do. These types of absolutes set you up for inevitable failure.  Instead of saying “I should be working on next week's presentation instead of sitting out here in the garden,” allow yourself some time to relax and schedule in some work time for later. Rather than telling yourself “I should get every question right on this test,” try “I'll do my best and look carefully to avoid silly mistakes.” Perfectionists set up scenarios in which the only possible results are either “perfection” or “failure,” with no middle ground. This makes it impossible to achieve a goal with a few inevitable flaws, and makes you feel like a “loser” even when you accomplish a task to someone else's satisfaction. Add words like “acceptable” and “good enough” to your vocabulary, and use them when evaluating tasks and your results. Perfectionists tend to create the worst case scenario in regards to failure. They'll say things like “If I don't get this just right, everyone will hate me” or “Everyone will see that I'm not cut out for this job.” When you feel this way, try to balance things out with some best-case scenarios.  For instance, say to yourself “If I mess up this part, we'll all have a laugh and move on,” based on what you've observed when others have done the same thing. Part of catastrophic thought is “probability overestimation” — that is, overplaying your odds of failure or of negative consequences from failure. Try to look at the situation from a detached perspective and consider the true “odds.” Every evening, write down at least one thing you accomplished that day, no matter how mundane: “I emptied out my junk drawer in the dining room.” Do the same on a weekly, monthly, and perhaps even annual basis. In the process, you'll realize just how much you get done — and that you are therefore the opposite of a “failure.” Don't assess how “perfect” of a job you did — just focus on what you got done....

Performing often will increase your confidence in front of a mic, and expose you to various audience settings. You can start out small with joining church choirs or acapella troupes, singing at bars and nightclubs, or simply performing at karaoke night. Starting out with small performances is a good place to begin before moving onto bigger gigs, but there are other ways that you can perform too. Use the college directory to contact the events department, and see if you can perform at gathering on campus. For example, colleges often look for singers to perform the National Anthem at their varsity sports games. Some artists and songwriters in your area might need singers to sing backup on their demo. Ask around and reach out to these artist and ask if they looking for any extra singers. If they need an example of how you sing, send them your demo or set up a time and place where you can perform a song for them. If someone agrees to let you sing on their demo, see if they will allow you to use their song (which you sang backup on) as a project for your personal portfolio. Audition a lot so you can get comfortable performing on the spot and preparing your quick pitch to producers and managers. It might even be a good idea to audition for theatre groups and singing troupes. That way, you can get experience working and performing on stage as well as getting into a network of performers. Having a demo of your work on you at all times is a good way to put yourself and your talents out there whenever an opportunity arises. At any performance you do, you can sell your demo CD to interested audience members, or give it away for free.  You want your demo to include a manageable amount of songs, perhaps between 4 and 10. This means you want your demo to have enough songs to showcase the range of your talents, but also give your listener a small and convenient amount of music to listen to quickly. If you can’t record your demo in a professional studio, you can easily get the required materials to do it yourself. All you...

Perfumes are a blend of different levels of scent, also called “notes”. When you spray a fragrance on your skin, it moves through these notes in the following order:  Top notes are what you smell first. They are also what disappears first, usually within 10 to 15 minutes. Middle notes appear as the top notes die off. These are the fragrance’s core, determining which family the perfume belongs to — for example, oriental, woody, fresh, or floral. Base notes accentuate and fix the fragrance’s middle notes, also known as its theme. They comprise the fragrance’s foundation, making the scent last up to 4 or 5 hours on your skin. Popular top notes include basil, bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lime, mint, neroli, rosemary, and sweet orange. These include black pepper, cardamom, chamomile, cinnamon, clove, fir needle, jasmine, juniper, lemongrass, neroli, nutmeg, rose, rosewood, and ylang-ylang. These include cedarwood, cypress, ginger, patchouli, pine, sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver. When mixing a fragrance, first add your base notes, then your middle notes, then finally, your top notes. The ideal ratio for blending notes is 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes. Some perfumers recommend combining a maximum of 3 to 4 dominant notes. To make a perfume, you need more than just the top, middle, and base notes: you also need something to add them to.  Your process begins with a carrier oil. Popular choices include jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oil. Next, you’ll slowly add drops of your base, middle, and top notes to the carrier oil. Finally, you’ll add something to help merge the ingredients together. Alcohol is a popular choice because it evaporates quickly and helps diffuse the perfume’s notes. A common choice amongst DIY perfumers is a high-quality, 80- to 100-proof (40% to 50% alc/vol) vodka. If you’re looking to make a solid perfume (more like a lip balm), use melted beeswax for the fixative instead of alcohol or water. If you’re unsure of how to structure a perfume, have a look at the...

Pergo floors will attract dust, so you’ll want to make sure you wipe it clean regularly with a dust mop to remove the most obvious particles. A regular wipe with a dry mop or static cloth should get most of the dust.  Before wiping down the floor, wet your dust mop slightly. A bucket of water nearby should be enough to keep the mop moist. You don’t want to soak your mop, just get it damp. If it is too wet, wring it out before putting on the floor.  If you are cleaning in sections, you can also use a spray to mist the floor before mopping. Mix 1 cup (240 mL) of white vinegar with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle, spray the floor, then quickly wipe with your mop. There should not be any moisture left after a minute of drying. Clean dirt or other obvious impurities with a vacuum cleaner. Put your vacuum on a setting for hard floors, or use an attachment if you are particularly concerned about scratching the surface. For small sections of the floor in need of a quick cleaning, a cloth wipe should pick up the dirt or dust. It is better to keep the cloth dry, but you can moisten it slightly for a little more adhesion. Just make sure there is no moisture left over after you are done wiping. Like other forms of laminate flooring, there are common cleaning products you should not use because they will damage the floor. Make sure you avoid using this cleaners.  Never use cleaners with soap or detergent and avoid using wax or polish. These products can leave a residue that makes the floor dull and filmy. Do not use a steam cleaner or similar device. The excess moisture will leave streaks in the floor.

Perhaps the heartiest and the most famous sprouts are the bean sprouts. Legumes sprout thick protuberances that are nutritious and taste great, full of active micronutrients and flavor. Common legumes for sprouting include:  lentils, green or brown especially chickpeas or garbanzo beans mung beans, which are commonly sold in stores as "bean sprouts" green peas Start with about a half cup of dried beans (they tend to plump up some as they absorb water and shake their hulls). The water shouldn't be steaming, but warm to the touch, like a cup of tea you've let sit a bit too long. In your sprouting jar, soak the beans for at least 12 hours. Because the legumes will plump up considerably, make sure there's enough space in the jar and cover the beans by several inches to make sure they'll stay submerged. Rinse the beans twice a day, and store them upside down to drain properly as the sprouts grow. Sometime the first or second day, you might need to shake the jar slightly to remove the hulls. You can add some water and swirl the jar gently to remove them. If some stay on, don't worry to much. You'll be able to pull them off before eating, if necessary. Adzuki beans typically need about 4 days to sprout to their fullest and most delicious potential. Give them some extra time. After the sprouting period is over, you can remove the sprouts from the jar, gently dry them out and remove any extra hulls that haven't separated, or you can leave them on (they're edible, though somewhat bitter). They should be good in the fridge for about a week, if you keep an eye on them and keep them relatively dry. Bean sprouts are particularly good as a topping for broth-based soups, like Vietnamese pho or other spicy dishes. They're also perfect on salads and sandwiches.

Perhaps the most difficult — and important — task in internet research is ensuring the sources you select are credible. Generally, you want to prioritize information from government sources, academics, and nationally recognized news organizations.  Government sources will often have “.gov” somewhere in the webpage. For example, the United States Department of State’s website is www.state.gov. The official website for Australia’s Department of Defence is www.defence.gov.au. Websites that end in .edu belong to colleges and universities. However, you do need to be careful with .edu sites, because often faculty and students can run personal webpages that will have the .edu extension, but the information there may not be vetted by the university. It’s better to find academic sources through an academic database or search engine, like EBSCOhost or Google Scholar. Websites that end in .org belong to non-profit organizations. While some of these are highly credible, some are not. Anyone can purchase a website with a .org extension. Check these sites carefully, and don’t rely on them as your sole source of information if you can avoid them.  Major news sources such as The Guardian, CNN, and Al Jazeera tend to be credible, but you also need to make sure you’re reading a factually based article and not an opinion piece. Many news sites also have blogs and editorial sites where people can state their opinions, which aren’t necessarily backed up by facts. Don’t limit yourself to the first few results in the search engine. Look beyond the first page of search results to find information for your research. While it’s impossible to view all of the results for most searches, it’s important to view at least several pages of results in order to ensure you’re not missing important information. Because of search engine optimization, if you’re using a regular search engine like Google or Yahoo, the first several pages might contain the links that were most effectively promoted, not the ones with the best information.

Perhaps the most fundamental rule in avoiding danger is not letting strangers into your personal space.  Though most people are harmless, the only way to assess this fact is time.  You should avoid letting anyone into your home or car who you do not know.  By controlling who does and does not enter your home, you can further assure your safety. Before opening the door, verify their identity through the window or a peephole. Another way to stay safe is by making sure that your home is secure.  Make sure that all of your doors and windows are locked at all times, even when you are home and even if you live in a safe neighborhood.  You cannot hope to keep danger out if you are leaving your doors open to strangers.  Make it a habit of locking the doors behind you anytime you enter or exit your home. Before you go to sleep at night, make sure the doors are all locked. One way to make sure that your home is secure while you are sleeping or away is to invest in an alarm system.  If an intruder comes in while the alarm is enabled, a loud siren will sound and the police will be alerted.  This helps assure that danger does not enter your home without you knowing.  Select a code for the alarm that won’t be easy to guess. Consider also getting motion detection lights.  Anytime someone is walking in your yard, a light will come on, alerting you to their presence. Your neighbors can be vitally important should an issue arise.  Take some time to get to know the neighbors next to you so that they can look out for your home when you are not around or when you are sleeping.  Also, should an issue arise, you might want to call your neighbors to alert them so that they can protect their house from danger as well. In the event that an intruder does enter your home or should a fire breakout, you should have a plan in place for you and your family to get out safely.  That plan may include everyone coming to your room and then leaving through the window.  Talk to your family about this plan so that everyone is on the same page. Dogs...

Perhaps the most important part of training any dog, but especially pit bulls, is socialization. Start when your dog is a puppy for the best results, but a dog of any age can be socialized. Take your pit bull out so it can interact with other dogs and people. This will keep your dog friendly, as it will be used to other animals. Many people recommend that you enroll your puppy pit bull in a puppy training class after he reaches six months. The right class can help him get accustomed to other dogs and to learn how to behave. Some pit bulls will simply not ever get along with other dogs, while others may be very friendly. It's important to know your dog's personality and to avoid forcing him to socialize with other dogs. But if you do think he's ready and willing to meet other dogs, try the following:  Introduce the dogs by walking them in a parallel direction with their leashes on, choosing a neutral territory so neither of them gets territorial. Continue to walk the dogs a few feet apart, alternating between which dog is in the lead. Don't let your dog run up to other dogs if he gets excited -- you're in control of his socializing. If both dogs still have their leashes, make sure not to tangle them, or this can cause a fight. If the initial introduction worked well and the dogs seemed to get along, let them briefly sniff each other while standing perpendicularly to each other so that they still don't see each other head on. If either dog stiffens or stands up on his toes, pull the dogs apart before anything goes wrong. You may have to take many walks before you can go past the introduction stage. If sniffing goes well, let your dog hang out in a fenced area with another dog. Let the dogs play with one dog on a leash and the other off the leash. The newer dog should be leashed and the fenced area shouldn't have too many items that can cause a fight, like bones or exciting toys. If the dogs are comfortable in this environment, take off their leashes and make sure that each owner stays near the dog to keep him...

Perhaps the most simple, direct way to get feedback from your customers is simply to ask for it. One easy way to do this is with a survey — a list of questions about their experience. Surveys with multiple-choice questions are especially useful for businesses because answers to these sorts of questions can easily be quantified, so it's easy to express conclusions from the data in the form of graphs, scatter plots, etc.  Usually, surveys are given at the end of the consumer's experience (such as after dinner or as they are checking out of a hotel). You may want to include a survey with the documentation that completes the transaction, like the bill after a meal, the receipt for a store purchase, and so on. Keep things short and sweet — almost no one likes filling out long, detailed surveys. The more simple and to-the-point your survey is, the more likely people are to fill it out. Another common way that businesses get feedback from their customers is by contacting them after the service has been completed. This is usually done by using the contact info provided by the customer as part of receiving their service — you may have participated in this form of feedback if you've ever gotten a follow-up call from your cable company after having a receiver installed, for instance. This form of feedback has the advantage of giving customers some time to use your business's service before asking for their opinion. Unfortunately, one disadvantage of this type of feedback is that it can be seed as rude or cloying. For instance, if a family receives a follow-up call during their nightly dinner, this may negatively affect their view of your business. One way to offset this somewhat is to use less obtrusive ways of contacting your customers, like email, social media, and other electronic modes of communication. Note, however, that electronic methods have been shown to favor data from different demographic groups than phone surveys. The two customer feedback examples above have both involved gathering service quality data...

Perhaps there are other issues causing a bit of unrest in your dog. Are you packing for a trip or moving? Are there guests in the house? A new neighbor? Loud noises? Just remember, dogs appreciate a routine.  A small change to you (like moving your bedroom furniture) may seem like a big deal to the dog. Some dogs are more anxious than others, so be patient and think about things from your dog's perspective. Then, you can make changes accordingly. If this is an older dog that has been quiet and content before, try to determine if there is a medical problem. Talk to your veterinarian about any unexplained changes in your dog's behavior, including appetite, energy level and ability to move comfortably. Pain or needing to go outside to eliminate in the middle of the night can cause a pet to whine and be restless during the night. It may take a few days (and nights) to adjust to the new household and routine. Establish ground rules at the beginning to create a good routine. This will help your puppy understand the end of day rituals that lead to getting to sleep in the new household. Feed your puppy at the same time in the evening, followed by a trip outside 15-20 minutes later to eliminate. Place the pup in his crate, which should be in your bedroom so that the puppy is close by. This way, he can communicate when he needs to go outside to eliminate during the night.

Perhaps this is a couch, love seat or your favorite chair. The ideal placement is halfway between the two side walls and at least a couple of feet back from the exact center of the room. Avoid placing the target seat all the way up against the back wall of the room. Flat surfaces such as walls tend to shatter the sound a little before reflecting it, so you will get a better effect if you leave a buffer between the back wall and the target. This will help to rectify the distortion of reflected sound. They should be at least one foot out from the back wall and at least two feet away from the side wall for optimal sound quality. This means the distance should be the same between all three parts, creating a perfect equilateral triangle.

Perhaps you feel lonely because you don’t feel confident in your social skills. Practice social skills such as smiling at other people, giving compliments, and making conversation with people you meet throughout the day (grocery clerk, barista, co-workers).  If you’re in a new situation, reach out to someone else and start a conversation. Say “I’ve never been here before, have you? What’s it like?” Either the person can help you or you can find comfort in doing something new together. Remember to communicate openness through body language. By hunching your shoulders, looking down, avoiding eye contact and crossing your body, you appear unapproachable. Smile, keep your posture open (uncross your legs or arms), lean in, and  face the person who is speaking. Look for things to affirm in others. Don’t just compliment someone’s appearance ("I like your sweater"), but instead say "You always take the time to put together just the right accessories." If you know someone well enough, compliment them on their kindness or intelligence. Learn more ways to improve your social skills more by checking out How to Improve Social Skills. Interacting with other people isn’t just about knowing the right thing to say. Hone your listening skills by giving your full attention to the person speaking. Don’t try and plan the perfect response or wait to find your entry point; this puts the focus on you and not the person speaking. Instead, encourage the person to keep talking and show interest in what is being said.  Non-verbally communicate your listening skills by nodding your head, making eye contact, and giving small feedback like saying, “I see,” or, “uh huh.”  For more tips on how to build listening skills, check out How to Be a Good Listener. Find people with whom you have common interests and with whom you can get along.

Recognize your feelings and include them in the this conversation. For example, “Mom/Dad, I met this wonderful person who I want to tell you about. But I am afraid you might not approve.” Or: “I really like this guy, but he lives far away and I’m not sure how to tell him how much he means to me. Do you have any suggestions?” Your parents have your best interests at heart. They want you to be safe and happy in your relationships. It can be helpful to see things from their perspective too.   Your parents will want to be sure that your boyfriend is who he claims to be and will not cause you harm. They will likely want to meet him as soon as possible, either in person or in an online video chat with you present. They will want to know how you communicate with your boyfriend: email, texting, video chat, or telephone. If your relationship has only been online, they may urge you to meet him in person as soon as possible to make sure your feelings are the same in person. Your parents may worry that you or your boyfriend may not commit to the relationship because of the distance. This exercise can be useful for rehearsing for your talk with your parents. It can also help you avoid getting overly anxious or angry during the talk.  Make two columns: one lists the concerns and questions they may have, and the other column lists your responses.

Perimeter is the sum total of all outer sides of any given shape, including irregular and compound shapes.  A standard rectangle has four sides. The two sides composing the length are equal to each other, and the two sides composing the width are equal to each other. Therefore, the perimeter is the sum of those four sides. A compound rectangle has at least six sides. Think of a capital “L” or “T” shape. The top “branch” can be separated into one rectangle and the bottom “bar” can be separated into another. The perimeter of this shape, however, does not rely on breaking up the compound rectangle into two separate rectangles. Instead, the perimeter is simply: P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6. Each “s” represents a different side of your compound rectangle. In a standard educational math problem, the measurement of all sides should be provided.  This example uses the abbreviations L, W, l1, l2, w1, and w2. The uppercase L and W stand for the full lengths and widths of the shape. The lowercase ls and ws stand for the smaller lengths and widths. As such, the formula P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6 equals P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2. Variables, like “w” or “l” are simply placeholders for unknown numeric values.  Example: L = 14 centimeter (5.5 in), W = 10 centimeter (3.9 in), l1 = 5 centimeter (2.0 in), l2 = 9 centimeter (3.5 in), w1 = 4 centimeter (1.6 in), w2 = 6 centimeter (2.4 in) Note that l1 and l2 will equal L. Similarly, w1 and w2 will equal W. By plugging the numeric values of the sides into your equations, you’ll be able to find the perimeter of your compound shape. P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2 = 14 + 10 + 5 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 48 centimeter (18.9 in)

Permanent inks are usually oil-based and can be broken down by applying an alcohol-based solvent. There are many common household items that will work. Choose hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, or an acetone nail polish remover.   Hairspray used to be the most recommended product for cleaning ink from fabrics. Today, however, most hairsprays are made with much less alcohol and will not be very effective at breaking down an ink stain.  Don't water down or dilute the solvent in any way. You will apply it directly to the stain. For semi-permanent and non-permanent water-based inks, you should be able to clean it up using dish soap, shampoo, or laundry detergent. To make the solution, just mix about 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water with a few drops of soap in a bowl. A mild laundry detergent will work best, but you can use a dye-free shampoo or soap as well. Vinegar can act a stronger solvent than some of your other alcohol-based cleaners, but it is also very acidic and corrosive and should be used with caution. Dilute the vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio. Either make the solution in a bowl and dip your cleaning cloths in it, or fill a small spray bottle with 1 part vinegar and 1 part room-temperature water. Don't use water that is too hot as it may damage your fabric when you apply it. If you have not been able to salvage the fabric with other methods, you can try a chlorine and water solution. Make the solution in a bowl or spray bottle with 1 part water to 1 part bleach.  Chlorine bleach not only removes dyes from fabric, but it's also a harsh chemical that can break down the fibers and cause damage. Making a mistake with chlorine bleach is usually irreparable, so only use it with extreme caution. Color-safe non-chlorine bleach is not always as safe for fabric as it is advertised. Use it with caution and spot test a hidden part of the fabric first if you want to use it.

Peroxide can be dangerous if too much is inhaled at a time. Choose a piece of metal that is either iron or tin--both will work with this method. The spray bottle will make it much easier to apply to your metal. Spray your piece of metal with a sizeable amount of peroxide. Spraying more peroxide will help to speed up the rusting process. You should do this while the peroxide is still wet. The rusting process will begin almost immediately and is actually easy to see. You can pour on more or less salt depending on how thick or crusty you want the rust to be. If you wipe off the salt while the peroxide is still wet, you will disrupt the rusting process and cause your rust to come out blotchy. Once dry, rub the salt off and admire your work. While you have just read about the basic way you can use peroxide and salt to cause metal to rust, the sky is really the limit when it comes to this technique. Rub the salt off and then spray the piece with peroxide again. Try different amounts of salt or dip your metal into water once it has dried. The water will give the rust a smoother texture.

Personal hygiene is a basic part of showing others you're sophisticated. Bathe regularly, brush and floss your teeth, wear deodorant, and trim your nails. Try to avoid leaving the house with wrinkled, dirty clothes or messy hair. Ratty old tees are fine for hanging around the house. However, when you're out and about, swap them for nice, crisp button-down shirts. White shirts are great for any occasion, but your collection should also include colors and patterns, such as gingham and stripes. Blues and greys are versatile choices but if you'd like, you can also include more vibrant colors, like pink or orange hues. In general, darker colors are best for lighter skin tones, and lighter colors work well with darker tones. No man of the world would leave the house with torn up, poorly fitting jeans. Deep indigo denim shows maturity, and can be worn in both casual and dressy settings. Choose jeans with a slim cut instead of baggy pairs. Try on jeans and any other article of clothing before buying them to make sure they fit well. A good suit is an essential part of a sophisticated, mature wardrobe. Navy is a better, more versatile color than black. If possible (and if you don't think you have any more growing to do), try to have the suit tailored so it fits you like a glove. The best part about a suit is that you can break it up into multiple outfits. You could wear the jacket with a crisp tee and jeans, or pair the pants with a dress shirt. Worldly men don't wear grubby sneakers with a nice outfit. Good formal shoes might get a little pricey, but they can last years if you care for them. Start with simple, brown and black leather dress shoes and, when you can, add boots to your collection. A sophisticated, stylish wardrobe is collected over time, so don't feel like you have to drop loads of cash to upgrade your closet. Have patience, and add one quality, long-lasting piece at a time.  Ask for nice shoes, clothes, or gift cards to clothing stores for your birthday and holidays. Shop around for deals and end of...

Personal vehicles like cars are responsible for about one-fifth of emissions in the United States. Choose an alternative method of getting around if you want to make a dent in your own carbon footprint and reduce your contributions to global warming. Instead of taking the car or getting a ride to the park, school, your friend’s house, or anywhere else, try:   Walking or jogging. Riding your bike or skateboarding. Rollerblading. While trains and buses often run on fossil fuels, they produce less pollution and take less energy to run than the multiple personal vehicles they replace. Next time you have to get around town and it’s too far to walk or bike, take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride. Kids who aren’t close enough to walk or bicycle to school but don’t have bus service can organize carpools with the parents of friends who go to the same school. Instead of four parents each driving individual cars to get kids to school, parents can take turns every day or week picking up and dropping off all the kids, meaning there are three fewer cars on the road. Suggest carpooling with friends for other activities as well, like sports practices and games, after-school activities, lessons, and social events. Driving a car that doesn’t run on gasoline or diesel can drastically reduce your carbon footprint, because it will reduce your fossil fuel use and emissions, and reduce the emissions created by the production, processing, and distribution of the fuel.  Hybrid and electric cars are typically more expensive than their traditional counterparts, so this may not be an option for many families. Be aware that if the electricity you use comes from a fossil fuel, driving a car that’s charged with that electricity may not reduce your carbon footprint.

Pesticides become less effective as grasshoppers get older—plus, they've likely reproduced by then. Natural insecticides with neem as the active ingredient will kill grasshoppers. Neem trees are common in the Indian subcontinent and are prized in the villages where they occur. The leaves are a natural disinfectant and insecticide. Toothpaste made with neem extract is available in the U.S. There's a product called "Ecobran" that only affects grasshoppers and their close relatives. It doesn't affect other insects or birds. Go to [1]. Ecobran uses carbaryl, an organophosphate.  It is a good product for small landowners fighting grasshoppers, easy to use, and has minimal impact on beneficial insects compared to other formulations of carbaryl.

Pesto is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. You can make pesto at home or purchase it from the store. Add it to sandwiches as a spread, to salads as a dressing, and pasta dishes as a sauce. Replace the mayo usually used in potato salad with pesto for an interesting and healthier take on this common dish. Peel and pit your avocado, then mash it up in a mixing bowl with a fork. When it reaches paste consistency, add a little salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. After that, it’s ready to be spread on a sandwich, mixed in with a salad, or more.  Mashed avocado is a great mayo substitute you can use to make a healthier version of egg salad. Feel free to add to your mashed avocado. You might find it tastes even better with some chopped peppers and onions. Be careful when subbing almond butter. It has about the same number of calories, but almond butter also is rich in protein, vitamin E, and fiber. When a recipe only calls for a little mayo, try almond butter instead. Excluding honey mustard, this condiment is a very low-calorie alternative. Additionally, there are many varieties of mustard that you can use to keep its flavor fresh and dynamic.  Mustard and a little cottage cheese, for example, could result in an interesting sauce for a cold-salad recipe or slaw.  Mustard tends to be a little on the high side where sodium is concerned. Keep this in mind if you’re on a sodium restricted diet. The most common brand, Nayonaise, has half the calories as regular mayo and is rich in vitamin B13 and omega-3 fatty acids. The consistency and flavor of soy-based mayo is just like normal mayo, so feel free to use these products exactly as you would normally.

Pet birds have their own will and you will need to have patience and work with it.  Never force your bird into doing anything that it seems uncomfortable or upset doing.  Forcing your bird will only cause distrust and fear to develop between you. Forcing your bird into doing something can result in you being bitten. No matter how frustrated you may feel with your bird you can never hit or yell at it. Birds will absolutely not respond to hitting or yelling and doing so will only destroy any sense of trust in your relationship.  Always be kind and patient when working with your bird in order to maintain trust. In order to maintain trust between you and your pet bird you will need to always be “honest” with it.  Tricking it into thinking it is about to do one thing and then having it do another can destroy trust.  Always keep your commands consistent and clear when engaging with your bird. Spending time with your pet bird can be a lot of fun for both of you.  However, your bird might get tired or cranky for any number of reasons.  If your bird starts to display signs of discomfort or annoyance it should return their cage immediately.  Give it some time to rest in their cage before resuming any direct interaction again.

Petroleum jellies like Vaseline and ointments like Neosporin work best. Place a small amount of the product on a Q-tip, then apply it around the entrance of each nostril. The extra moisture will not only relieve dryness, but will also create a barrier against irritation from a runny nose. If you don't have something like Vaseline or Neosporin handy, you can use your regular facial lotion. It won't lock in moisture as effectively, but it should still provide some relief. If you're willing to pay a slightly higher price, splurging on some high-quality facial tissue can go a long way toward soothing your nose. Look for products that have been treated with lotion. They do less damage as you're blowing your nose, and counteract the irritation with their soothing lotion. Less chafing during nose-blowing means less irritation in the long run. If your nose is badly chafed or even bleeding, add warm moisture quickly to relieve the pain. Run a clean washcloth under hot water, then gently press it into the nostrils. Tilt your head back and leave the washcloth in place until it cools back down to room temperature. Breathe through your mouth during this time.  Apply petroleum jelly or Neosporin to your nose immediately after soaking your nose with a washcloth. Either dispose of the washcloth or wash it immediately. A runny or congested nose can feel terrible, and you may be tempted to blow your nose constantly. Though it may be hard, fight that urge. Especially if you're home alone and there's nobody to judge you, blow your nose only when necessary. If a little mucus runs out of your nose, gently dab it away instead of honking on a dry tissue and irritating your nose. Instead of taking a deep breath and blowing as hard as you can, blow gently to reduce chafing. Blow softly through one nostril, then the other.  Continue alternating nostrils until you feel your nose is clear enough. Always loosen the mucus with a decongesting technique before blowing your nose. A doctor will be able to prescribe allergy medications that can...

Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is a derivative of the oil refining process and is used to create a water-resistant barrier on the skin. It can be helpful in reducing scarring because it keeps the skin moist and covered. Apply petroleum jelly to the scarred area once a day. Petroleum jelly does not seem to have an impact on older scars. Vitamin E is typically available in capsules or in small bottles in health food stores or health food sections of grocery stores. Break open a capsule and drip the oil onto your scar. Massage it gently into the skin. Alternately, use a lotion with Vitamin E, rubbing the lotion on your skin twice a day. There are conflicting accounts as to the efficacy of Vitamin E for removing or reducing scars. It also may cause skin irritation for some people. Aloe Vera is a plant with multiple health benefits, including reducing inflamed skin and moisturizing skin. Aloe Vera gel can be removed directly from the plant’s leaves or it can be purchased in a bottle in a natural foods store. Apply gel to your scarred area at least once a day. Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent and can help lighten scars. Clean your skin and then apply lemon juice to the scarred area using a cotton ball. Let the area sit for about 10 minutes and then rinse it clean. Extra virgin olive oil can help reduce the appearance of scars. Massage a small amount of 100% extra virgin olive oil into your skin once or twice a day for several weeks or months. There are many other natural home remedies that can be used to help reduce the appearance of scars. Some of these include: lavender oil, chamomile tea, cod liver oil, baking soda, cocoa butter, tea tree oil and honey. Search online for natural scar reduction remedies.

Petroleum-based moisturizers can dry out your skin, particularly during the cold winter months. Try a water-based moisturizer with natural ingredients to nourish and hydrate your face. Look for moisturizers made of these petroleum alternatives: cocoa butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, lanolin, olive oil, shea butter, or tallow. Aloe can relieve skin irritation and flakiness caused by dehydration. By using an aloe-based product, you can improve your skin's water content and relieve redness or itchiness. Try an aloe vera skin mask to directly target facial skin dehydration. If your face is already parched for water, treatment oils can restore moisture to your skin. Apply a few drops of treatment oil over your moisturizer to seal in as much hydration as possible. Olive and jojoba-based treatment oils are effective for treating dry skin. Naturally oily skin has different moisturizing needs than sensitive skin, as does young or mature skin. Determining the root cause of your dehydrated skin can help you find the right treatments. Consult a dermatologist, who can identify your skin type and help you find the right products if you don't know what's causing your skin problems. 1-2 times a week. Exfoliation can rid your face of dead skin cells and help moisturizers or other products deeply penetrate your skin. Use a washcloth to rub your face in a circular motion, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Don't exfoliate any more than once or twice a week. Over-exfoliating can tear your skin and cause irritation.

Pets are not ultra expensive, but that doesn't mean you won't need to spend money. Below are some annual cost estimates provided by the ASPCA:   Dogs-- $600-$900, depending on size  Cats-- $600  Rabbit-- $700  Rodents--$300-$650, depending on size  Fish -- $40    Small Birds -- $400  Large Birds (Parrots, Macaws)-- $700-$1,200 Set aside a few hundred dollars in case of emergency veterinary costs. Be sure to bring your pet to the vet soon after adopting it as well. Just like humans, pets need regular check-ups to spot problems before they become serious conditions. Use your first visit to discuss how often you should schedule check-ups and your pet's dietary and medical needs.  Be sure to schedule shots and vaccinations as soon as you can. Make sure that your pet has all of the proper vaccines and other preventative medication suggested by your veterinarian, such as heart worm pills for some dogs. Ask your vet what symptoms to look for if your pet gets sick. Spay or neuter dogs and cats to prevent pet over-population.   Record your vet's number as well as the number of a veterinary hospital in case of emergencies. Knowing your pet's normal behavior is very important; if they are sick or injured, they will often act unusually, such as sleeping more, going off their food, etc. If they begin to act oddly, check them for any injuries and keep an eye on their food and water intake; if they stop eating or drinking, or they have obvious wounds that are concerning you, then take them to the vet. The cheapest food you find may not always be the healthiest. Feeding animals table scraps - no matter how cute they are when they beg - is not a good idea since people food often has minerals and items in it that can be harmful to our animal friends. Only feed your pet appropriate foods and give them responsible portions.  Research or ask your vet about good food sources and portion sizes. Natural foods, though more expensive, are healthier than dry or processed foods.   Watch your pet’s diet carefully. Many foods that are...

Pets provide affection and someone to talk to and care for. If you are aloof and self-sufficient, tropical fish, hamsters, budgies, or finches are great choices. If you like a little interaction, but not a lot of maintenance, try a cat. If you want to be very hands-on and spend tons of time with your pet, a dog might be right for you.  Don't be fooled into thinking a smaller animal like a rabbit or bird won't need lots of care - a rabbit needs daily human contact and several hours of time to run about a day, not to mention cleaning it out. Fully research any animal you are considering as a pet then go to your local animal shelter, there are hundreds of lovely animals there just waiting for a home! Some animal shelters will let you 'foster' a pet, which gives the animal a much needed break from the confines of the shelter and gives you the companionship you crave without a long-term commitment. If you find that the reason you are spending so much time alone is because you are turning down invitations and avoiding people, then this may indicate a larger mental health issue. Seek the help of a mental health professional if this is the case. Being lonely sometimes is normal, but it can be unhealthy if it goes on for a long time.

Phenolphthalein is a chemical compound that is typically colorless. It turns bright pink or magenta in response to bases, making it a commonly-used indicator of pH levels. Phenolphthalein can be purchased online or in person at big-box stores or places that sell lab equipment. Double-check to make sure that your beaker is completely clean and free of other substances than might contaminate the results. Use an eyedropper to transfer 3 drops of phenolphthalein into the beaker of water. The mixture in the beaker should be clear and colorless like water. Using an eyedropper, transfer a small amount of the solution you’re testing to the beaker that contains the phenolphthalein-water mixture. Phenolphthalein changes colors when exposed to substances with a pH of 8.2 or above. If the mixture turns pink or purple, then your solution is basic. If the mixture in the beaker stays clear, then your solution is neutral or acidic. A darker pink or even purple means that the solution is highly basic.

Photo collages are usually fun and commemorative. You could choose a theme like your family, your pets, a trip you took, or something you like. Many photo collages come from personal experiences using photos you took, but you don’t have to make yours that way. You could make something cool using random images you found online. For example, you might make a photo collage about puppies. Everyone loves looking at pictures of puppies. All you have to do is track down pictures you like and paste them together. Edit and combine photos using one of the many different editing programs available. For the best result, stick with a basic program like Word if you’re making the collage on your computer. You could also try uploading pictures to online websites like Canva or Shutterfly. There are also apps you can download on your phone for a quick way to make your own collage. You could work with a photo editing program like Photoshop if you have it and know how to use it. Click the save button often to keep your hard work safe in case your computer crashes! When you’re done editing, display your collage with pride if you wish. Go online, such as onto social media, and post your work for others to see. Otherwise, print it using the print feature on the editor to display it around your home. The printing paper you choose affects the final appearance of your collage. Choose a high-gloss paper to give it a shiny sheen. Use a matte-style paper to give it a dimmer, less colorful look.
